By the next morning, Jedediah was completely possessed. Not a thread of his real, western loving conciousness remained, to the pleasure of the Silence. The plan was working, and soon, Silence's would be more intelligent, and the Doctor would be out of their way. The only problem was that prying, spying, annoying little roman who would avoid him one minute and then the next try to talk to the possessed cowboy. Ah well. Jedediah thought. As soon as I get the Doctor, I won't have to worry about that roman guy anymore. As he tapped on the jar in the safe, his manipulated mind hatched a brilliant idea.

" Hey! I can use my pistol! " Jedediah exclaimed. Though he was possessed, he still had a few memories that couldn't be erased completely, like the one when Octavius hit the hourglass with his helmet. It had worked then, why not now?

Swinging his arm back, Jedediah thrust it forwards, gun in hand, and a moment later, the glass shattered. Smiling, Jedediah stepped away from the glass, and moved on to the safe. Normally, he wouldn't be able to figure out something as complicated as a safe. But now that he was possessed, he was twice as smart.

" Let's seeee...9, 6, 7, 2,...3! "

The door swung open, and Jedediah smiled in triumph. Then, from inside his mind, he heard a voice. Not a Silence voice, but a computerized voice.

" Have you begun? " It said.

" No. " Jedediah replied through his mind. " But i've found the Doctor's weakness. "

" Oh? What is it? "

" His emotions. "

" His emotions...of coarse! Now, I know I told you to wait until tomorrow to attack...but seeing that your fully possessed...I suppose the sooner we make our move, the better. "

" Great. I just have to wait until i'm alone with the Doctor and... "

" We can't wait that long! You need to attack! TONIGHT! "

" But...that's crazy! I mean, if your so intelligent, then you'd know it's a bad idea! "

Suddenly, Jedediah felt a pressure of some sort on his neck, and the Silence who possessed the cowboy felt fear move through him. It knew that if it's host died, so would it.

" You WILL attack tonight. And if you don't... "

The pressure strengthened, causing Jedediah to choke on his words.

" Y-yes your...genius...ness... " He managed through the choking.

" Good. Strike tonight, and don't fail me. "

And with that, the pressure vanished, ans the voice ceased to exist. Shaking his head, Jedediah walked to the door, found it unlocked, and then used his power to unlock the rest of them. Slowly, he made his way to the TARDIS control room, where everyone sat.

Octavius sat on the countertop, tapping out a rhythm with his heels. Last night had been a sleepless night, plagued with dreams of dark places and evil sounds. Ever since meeting the Doctor, things were always strange and confusing, and it was times like these when foretelling dreams both helped and harmed the situation. On the one hand, they gave helpful insight to the future, and how to prepare for future events. On the other, it made things confusing, and they were normally frightening. Sighing, Octavius continued tapping, and watched Amy and the Doctor as they fiddled with the crystal.

The Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver at the blue crystal, and watched the light bounce off of it, and point back at him.

" It's no use! " He exclaimed, rubbing his forehead. He was about to give up, and Amy came over and rubbed his shoulders. For the first time, he actually looked tired, which was strange, especially for someone who never sleeps in the first place.

" Doctor, perhaps you should rest for a while. You look tired.

" What are you talking about Amy? I'm fine. I don't grow...*yawn*...tired. " The Doctor yawned, and blinked a few timed.

" Yes Doctor, you are t-..*yawn*...tired..*yawn*...stop yawning! It's contageous! "

" No i'm..*yawn*...not... "

" Doctor your loosing this argument. "

" Oh..*yawn*...perhaps your right Amy. Perhaps I should just take one...small...nap... " The Doctor laid down on a small couch he had bought in the 19th century, and fell asleep.

" Well, " Amy said, walking over to Rory. " I suppose i'm in charge for now. "

" What! " Rory exclaimed, looking up from a National Geographic magazine he had purchased from the museum's gift shop. " No way! You know i'm in charge! "

" Please! " Octavius shouted, though it sounded more like a whisper. " Stop fighting! "

" He's right. " Rory said, looking at the general. " I'm sorry Amy. You can be in charge. "

" Thanks. And, i'm sorry. "

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jedediah walked down the hall, straight towards the TARDIS' control room. He had a plan, a brilliant plan, a plan for silence. Walking into the room, he had to take a step back as Rory jumped up from his seat.

" Wha-what are you... "

As Rory came at him, Jedediah put on his acting face, and tried to act scared and confused.

" Please! Don't hurt me! " He cried, as Rory roughly picked him up.

" Silence! " Rory exclaimed, shaking the tiny cowboy. " I knew you'd escape eventually! "

" What are ya talkin' 'bout? It's me! Jedediah! "

" Right. Like i'd fall for that! "

" No! Please! " The little cowboy cried, allowing fake, unemotional tears to fall down his cheeks.

" Wait a moment! " Octavius shouted, running to the edge of the counter. " Perhaps he really is unpossessed! "

" But...how do we know? "Amy asked, looking over Rory's shoulder.

" We must ask him a question, one only the real Jedediah would know. " Octavius said in a serious tone. He slowly walked over to Jedediah, and looked him in the eyes. " If you really are Jedediah, then, what made us friends? "

Octavius held his breath as Jedediah thought for a moment.

" The crash. The car crash, about three years ago. "

Octavius paused, then he spoke again. " What do we do on the night marking the time of the crash? "

" We go to the crash site, with Larry, and spend five minutes of silence. "

" That...that is...right...Jedediah! You are not possessed! " Octavius hugged his friend, who was slightly startled by his reaction. To him, a roman and a cowboy being friends was absurd. But, if it allowed him to blend in, then why not?

" Yes. I'm unpossessed. " He said, hugging the roman back. The Silence had never hugged before, and it was an interesting feeling...one that meant 'you are cared for ' and 'you are appreciated '.

" What's going on... " The Doctor suddenly said from the couch. He was looking at Amy, then Rory, then Octavius, then, Jedediah. " He's back! Oh shoot he's back! "

" relax Doctor. He's unpossessed. " Amy said reassuringly.

" Indeed. " Octavius said. " I asked him the hardest question only the real Jedediah would know, and he gave me the exact answer. "

" I'll be the judge of that. Jedediah, "

" Yeah? " The cowboy replied, looking up at the Doctor.

" You say you are no longer the Silence. Well, what weapon did you wield when you fought a battle at the museum? And who was the enemy? "

"I wielded a water gun, and fought the Daleks and Khamunrah. "

" Hmm...interesting. "

Octavius was puzzled. Why wasn't the Doctor convinced that Jedediah was fine? He knew the answers to all the questions, so why was the Doctor questioning everything? Then Octavius realized that he hadn"t looked closely at the cowboy's features. He was paler than usual, and his eyes still had that unearthly blue glow. Perhaps the Doctor was right...

Amy walked over to the Doctor, and he whispered in her ear. Nodding, she turned away, and whispered something in his ear. Then, all three of them shot Octavius a glance that meant something wasn't right.

" What're ya'll doin'? " Jedediah asked, faking confusion, for he knew his cover blown.

" Listen. " The Doctor said, coming over to the miniatures. " We know your still possessed. "

" WHAT!? Are ya kiden' me!? I'm NOT possessed! " Jedediah yelled angrily, stomping up to the edge.

" Oh yeah? Well, perhaps you forgot, that this crystal here, that holds your conscious, "

I knew it! Octavius thought to himself.

" still isn't glowing with your energy. So, you tell me, are you still possessed? "

" Ya know what your problem is Doctor? You always poke your long nose,...or should I say chin,...into everyone's business! "

" There's nothing wrong with my chin! "

Suddenly, all the lights in the TARDIS went off, and Amy and Rory found themselves pushed to the ground, and unable to rise. Octavius, frightened, took a few steps back from Jedediah as he began to glow with a mixture of blue and green energy.

" This is what you get Doctor! " He said, turning to the time lord. " This is for the Silence! "

Jedediah raised his hand, and a blinding beam of light shot out of his fingertips. The Doctor fell to the ground, electricity pulsing through him. Amy screamed. Knowing his friends needed him, Octavius looked around for something he could fight with. His gaze landed on an unsharpened pencil, and he used it to whack Jedediah outside the head.

" Hey! " Jedediah hissed, whirling around to face the roman.

Forgetting about the Doctor, the Silence possessed cowboy turned all his furry on Octavius. He shot the blueish-green lightning from his finger tips straight into the roman's chest. Screaming in agony, Octavius fell to his knees, and then with one final bolt, completely vanished into nothingness. When the roman disappeared, Jedediah felt a small pang of something like sadness, which confused him, and he immediately pushed it away.

" Now, where we were we? " He asked, turning his attention back to the Doctor.

To his amazement, the Doctor wasn't there. Suddenly, he felt an electric shock from behind, and then everything went black.

This chapter was depressing, but I needed an element of drama. My stories have to have Adventure, Mystery, and Drama, so that's what you can look forward to in the others.

Also, i'm sorry if I deleted your favorite character. He's my favorite character too, so it wasn't easy. But, like they say, the sun always rises. Reviews would be nice by the way.
