Chapter Thirteen

Aye and Sekhmet stepped back and stared at Rose's body with satisfaction. After the conversion, Bast took control of Rose while Sekhmet reasserted control over the Doctor. They then went to the wardrobe room on the ship and dressed Rose in a manner befitting a goddess. When they finished with her, she was wearing a silk maroon shirt with gold trim and a slit down the front that showed off her legs and her matching maroon silk underpants. She had on a silk bra that was also trimmed in gold and she was wearing a very sheer maroon cape the draped around her. On her arms were gold armbands and on her left ankle was a gold ankle bracelet. She wore silk maroon slippers that were similar to ballet slippers. Her blonde hair had been swept up into a chignon with a cat hairpin placed in it. Her eyes had been darkened with kohl paint in the Egyptian style. Meanwhile, Sekhmet had darkened the Doctor's eyes as well and put on blue velvet slippers to match his long robe. Both Goa'uld had taken over their hosts minds but left just enough consciousness so that both the Doctor and Rose knew what was going on.

"You look beautiful, darling," Sekhmet said to Bast as he came up behind her.

They stood together in the control room, looking out the window at the Earth below. Bast smiled when Sekhmet let his finger slowly go up her arm.

"I love this body," Bast said, turning to him. "And this body is handsome. Our brothers did well when they chose these two to be our hosts."

Sekhmet ran the Doctor's finger under her chin and then leaned in for a kiss. Bast sighed and returned the kiss eagerly while Sekhmet caressed her.

"They never really did this," Sekhmet said to her mate. "These two, they never really loved each other like this. Such a shame. I see into his mind and he loves her dearly."

"As does she," Bast said. "She did kiss him that deeply but at the moment she was being possessed by someone called Cassandra. Pity that she can only snog her lover when she's being used by someone else."

"I can sense him," Sekhmet said. "I can sense his anger at what we did to his beloved and his torment at seeing her under your control."

"He is weak, far too emotional," Bast said. "He's better off being your host. The Time Lords were always inferior to us. This one though, she carries so much power within her, a Bad Wolf. We can use that power to put the humans under our control once and for all."

Sekhmet chuckled.

"I wouldn't call the Doctor weak, my love. Even now he's fighting me for control of his body. The man is powerful, make no mistake."

"But not as powerful as you," Bast said. "He may fight now but in time he will learn it's hopeless. He is nothing more than your host now…and so is Rose."

Sekhmet chuckled.

"He fights even harder now upon hearing that. He is determined to free his beloved," Sekhmet said.

"Then allow him to come forward while keeping his body under your control. I wish to speak to him," Bast said.

The glow faded and Bast chuckled when the Doctor glared at her.

"I swear I'll rip you out of Rose if I have to reach back through the wound in her neck and pull you out that way," he growled at her.

"Now, now, Doctor," Bast said, reaching up to stroke his cheek. "Don't be this way. Rose is listening to us and I know she wants you as badly as you want her."

"You bastard. You and your kind should have been eradicated long ago."

Bast chuckled softly. She laughed louder when the Doctor tried to move away the moment she put Rose's hand on his crotch and was hindered by Sekhmet.

"Come now, Doctor, this is your true love. Why are you trying to run from her touch? You've hungered for it for so long. What a pity that you and Rose never truly did anything more than light kisses, hugs and handholding before we came along. My sister and I can help the two of you to become closer."

The Doctor jerked his head back when she tried to kiss him. Bast chuckled.

"There is no escape for you, Doctor. You might as well resign yourself to fate and enjoy your beloved's body," Bast purred as she stroked his cheek.

"You underestimate us. Both Rose and I have a few tricks left up our sleeves."

"Oh, you mean those humans you were with," Bast said with a snort. "Perhaps you underestimate us, Time Lord. Those two are no match for us. And if you don't want to see them implanted with more larva, you'll keep your mouth shut and do what we say."

"I thought you were going to let us have free will," the Doctor said. "I thought Rose and I were going to be left alone as long as we didn't try to escape."

"Yes, we did say that. But if we left you to your own devices, the two of you would barely touch each other and I want to enjoy the feel of my lover's new host. I would allow Rose to come forward but you'd probably protest that I was tormenting her while I was controlling her body so I keep her in the background. But if you want to speak to her, be my guest."

The glow faded and the Doctor sighed angrily when Rose blinked her eyes.

"Doctor, are you alright?" she said.

The Doctor tested his body and was surprised when he could move it on his own. He asked Rose to do the same and saw her delight when she could move her body too. The Doctor took Rose in his arms and held her close.

"You look beautiful this way," the Doctor said as he examined her outfit. "A bit Arabian Nights but the outfit is flattering on you."

"Wish I could say the same for you but robes don't flatter you."

"Heh, good thing you didn't see me on Gallifrey then. I used to wear robes all the time."

The Doctor stroked her cheek.

"What about you, are you alright?" he asked her.

"Other than the fact that I have an eel inside my head?" Rose said.

"I'm sorry, I should have done more to prevent this," the Doctor said.

"It's not your fault. What could you do? You're being possessed as well. Stop blaming yourself, yeah?"

The Doctor nodded. He gasped when Rose's eyes suddenly glowed and she grabbed the back of his head and jerked his head down to her lips. The Doctor jerked back and glared at Bast.

"Come on, do something, I gave her to you so you could have some fun and all you do is talk? This is a really boring relationship you have," Bast said to him. "Sister, I think we should help these two out, yeah?"

The Doctor felt himself losing control of his body while he saw the glow fade from Rose's eyes. He gritted his teeth in anger when he realized that Bast had taken control of Rose's body and left her alert. The Doctor blushed when he began to paw at Rose's body and pull her clothes off.

"So what do we do?" Jenny asked Meren as they followed several of the Tok'ra to their ship's control room.

"I think they're going to try to send a message to the Goa'uld, try to get them to negotiate," Meren said.

"And you think that'll work?" Jenny said.

"Not sure but we're not like them, we prefer to settle things peacefully before we attack."

"But we can't attack if they have the Doctor and Rose," Jenny said.

"That's why they're going to try to negotiate with them first," Meren said.

They walked into the control room. Tarek and Malizon walked up to the control panel at the front and ran a scan for the Goa'uld mother ship while everyone else watched.

"We have them," Tarek said.

"Very good. Send a signal and a message that the Tok'ra wish to speak with them about the Doctor and Rose."

Tarek nodded and pushed a few buttons.

"Hope this works," Jenny said while they listened to Tarek recording a message. "I don't want my new friends to die in an incinerated ship."
