Christmas Day- day twenty five
It was Christmas day not that the occupants of the Valiant knew how much time had passed or what day it was really, but they woke up to the jingling of bells and the singing of some kind of twisted Christmas Carols from their jailor. It made some of them even sicker that they were, it was some grotesque twisted variation of Christmas joy.
The door to the cell levels opened and the Master burst in with a red and white Santa hat and all grins.
"Ho, ho Merry Christmas." He exclaimed sliding to a halt in front of the Jones's family and spread his arms. "What aren't you happy to see Santa coming especially for you on Christmas?" He asked them mockingly which made it more threatening than merry. After not receiving anything but a blank looks from his prisoners he sighed and clicked his fingers to his guards.
"Bring them up to the bridge, I have a gift for them there, maybe it would make them more enthusiastic for Christmas." He snapped and went back to the flight deck and his wife who was going aimlessly around squeaking like a little girl in delight of the decorating the ship. There was a huge Christmas tree in the middle it irritated but also amused him, what did the silly humans need to feel happy. Well he was going to make them happy and give them a Christmas day. The Master had prepared an individual and personal present for all of them, but the best was the common present the bigger one that was a present to them all.
He snorted, Christmas Day a day dedicated to some guy who was supposedly been the saviour of their souls. Let's see who would be their saviour now when even their precious Doctor could not. He looked at the gifts and couldn't wait to hand them out. There was the note book and pen from Ianto Jones for the Captain and the purple jumper from the TARDIS railing for the Doctor. But the burning of Japan when it happened and the dead of one Martha Jones would be his ultimate Christmas present to everyone else.
The Master smiled and looked at his wife dressed in her red dress and dancing around singing Christmas songs. She was ordering the servants now around the table deciding where the Christmas food and cutlery would be placed. His latest joke that was actually idea of Lucy's was to invite the Doctor and Jack to the table to have a lunch with them. Of course the Jones family would be the servants who would serve the food and that was entirely Master's idea of good time. He smiled at his arrangements he couldn't wait for the show to begin. When the doors finally opened and the Doctor and the Captain were marched in and forced to sit on the table with a glass of warm wine in front of them the Master smiled and took his place on the head of the table.
"Dear, friends and family." He looked around holding his glass up as for toast. "And, yes I do count you all here as a family otherwise why do we live together. I must say I had the best year in my long life so far here with you. Is been a pleasure and entertainment to see you all enjoying my company and hospitality. I have been pleased to see that you all are content enough to stay here without a protest. For all of you and the times we would have together ahead of us…" He toasted and then drank the wine before leaving the glass on the table and saying. "Merry Christmas. Please do enjoy your food while you can before you had opened your presents."
