I do not own Doctor Who.
Bit of a time jump...but I was angry and frustrated so I didn't feel like writing in between stuff... Anyways...off you go!
I was fed up.
I hated being so helpless.
After Kovarian had hurt River, she hadn't stopped testing the waters.
I was her slave. Her personal servant.
If she but needed her shoe tied, it was my job to do it in a timely fashion.
"Doctor, would you mind?" Kovarian said in a mocking tone, gesturing towards the switch on the wall. I didn't let emotion show as I did as she asked.
I had been stuck doing her every will for almost three weeks. I didn't have a choice. If I disobeyed or wasn't fast enough, she would pull down that wretched screen and...
I suppressed the tears as images of my wife being tortured flashed across my mind.
I learned quickly. Do it, quickly, efficiently and without emotion. Don't speak a word or make a sound unless she specifically requests it. Don't make eye contact.
I had been lucky thus far. She'd only found excuse to hurt River twice after the first show of power. During the torture, she would make me watch and beg for her to show mercy as River cried out and Amy and Rory fussed over her, desperately trying to find the cause of the problem. With every passing moment, anger and hatred boiled hotter and hotter inside of me. Plans to overthrow her were beginning to form in my head. All I needed to do was break the connection between Kovarian and River. But first I had to figure out how exactly it worked. Kovarian wasn't River's mother, so that wasn't it. Do what was it?
"Oh, Doctor could you be a dear and fetch me some tea? And get it right or you know what I'll do." she threatened.
I bowed out of the room and bolted toward the kitchen, afraid if I wasn't quick she'd do something drastic.
My thinking would have to wait. Keeping River and the baby alive and safe was all that mattered right now.
