KITG: hehehe, glad people like this (waves to Ferntree) suppose I had better write this next chapter then.
Chapter 11She felt the Doctor stroking her hair. Today just seemed not to be her day. She smiled.
"What?" he asked quietly
"Not my day is it?" he continued to gently stroke her hair, giving her what comfort he could. He wanted to wrap her up, and take the pain she was obviously feeling away.
"Rose…" she heard the pain in his voice, the sorrow but mostly the guilt.
"Don't" she coughed giving a groan as it pained her chest, she reached through the cell bars for his hand. "Don't, you can't get rid of me. Told you that."
"Can you tell me what happened?" he gently squeezed her hand.
"Um, they took me down here, then took a blood sample. Then that scientist guy injected me with something he called "the Base" felt tired after that, plus that guard threw me in. I banged me head" The Doctor looked to the bump on her head.
"What hurts, besides what that guard did" she could hear the cold fury in his voice, and knew it would be mirrored in his eyes.
" My insides feel like it's burning. Like someone's set my blood on fire. Left eye is the worst though. It really hurts Doctor, feels like someone's driving something in it." A broken pain filled sob broke from her lips.
"Shh, let me look at your eye" he parted her eyelid. Her eye was changing, from those compassion, life filled eyes. To black with a red slit, emotionless and cold. He shivered at the sight of it. Something that she didn't miss
"That bad huh?"
"You'll be fine Rose, I'll fix you good as new"
"Really, you shouldn't make promises you can't keep" The Doctor looked over as the scientist from before came in. "How is my little test subject?"
"She has a name! What have you done to her?"
"Not as if your little gang like mind would understand." He dismissed the Doctor as he entered Rose's cell. Rose backed up to the bars, a fearful whimper escaping her. The Doctor Shot forward, trying to protect Rose in his embrace.
"You have re-engineered her DNA. Changed her Molecular structure, using probably Trizine as the Base. Can't tell what you mixed it with. But some type of alien DNA" He saw the scientist smile. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a syringe. The Doctor tightened his embrace as Rose griped tighter to him.
"Maybe what they say is true then, your no gang member. Oh were going to have so much fun with you. But I have to finish this subject. She will be a good guard dog..if she survives this" He walked forward, an in-human grin on his face.
"Leave her alone!" The Doctor shouted arms ready to grab the syringe. But it was not to be. The scientist brought out a little black box looking like a car alarm system. He pressed the button and the Doctor cried out as he was blown back by an electric charge. He looked up from the floor as he saw he was too late. The scientist had already injected Rose. He vacated the cell very quickly as Rose started to convulse.
"Help her!" He shouted, voice horse with his rage as he crawled towards her.
"Why? If she dies it is no loss, if she survives she will have worth. Sorry, I have not introduced myself. The names Marcus, I'm the lead scientist here" he ignored Rose. The Doctor was about to tell him where to shove his name when Rose began to scream. A scream of such pain, which turned to a growl. He looked on, as her hands grew larger, claws exploding from her nails. Heard joints popping as they grew and changed. Her hair became more like a fur mane, turning black with red streaks. Then he saw her face, her eyes black with the tiny red slit, teeth sharp, but fitting in her mouth. Not like some B-movie, more feral looking. She growled, like you would expect a tiger or lion to do.
There was silence as Rose was on her knees on the floor, he could hear her breathing heavily, but her face was resting on her arms, the arms were flat on the floor, clawed hands splayed out, weight resting on her elbows.
"Rose?" He asked afraid, actually afraid of what the reaction would be. He moved forward to reach out to touch her, but then she moved growling in animal menace, he snapped his hand back as she ran full speed at the bars impacting them with a solid clang. Then she was snarling, clawing at the air in front of him.
"Careful Doctor, she'll have your had off" The Doctor looked to Marcus, seeing him reading a file with his name on the front. Marcus only looked up briefly and pressed the button of the bars. Rose howled/whined in pain thrown back like he was before. Marcus then indicated the guard who up till now had been standing in the background. The Doctor hadn't even noticed him, so focused was he on Rose.
"Put the collar on her. Think I'll keep her for myself. Can't be too careful with all these criminals around" his silky, snide voice ending in a sneer. The guard walked forward quickly and snapped a collar round Rose's neck. She seemed to calm instantly, her eyes becoming serene and she even seemed to purr. The guard pulled the strong looking chain connected to the collar. Rose walked forward, leaving her shoes behind. The Doctor could now see her feet had changed too, becoming paws. Making her look as thought she was walking on the balls of her feet. Claws tapping the ground as she moved, back bent in attack readiness, she came to stand by Marcus's side as he took the chain off the guard.
"Oh, you said she had a name?"
"She does, her name is Rose," He snarled at Marcus. The Doctor's eyes blazing in cold hatred of the human before him.
"Hmm, Rose, nice name, a rose hides it's thorns, and now she hides her power. Think I shall keep the name. What you think Rose?" the last part of the statement was directed at Rose herself. She purred in response. "She seems to like it, now I have time to deal with you"
Marcus indicated to the guard, he walked into the cell, snapping cuffs on the Doctor's wrists. These were also chains on these like there were on Rose's set. He was pulled roughly forward out of the cell; he was about to make a break for it. But a low growl by his right ear made him stop
"Not a good idea Doctor, wouldn't want your pretty little friend to rip you to pieces." Marcus bowed, indicating with his arm that the Doctor should go through the door first. With mournful look a Rose, he did as he was told.
The Skulls were trapped in the same cell as the Death Angels; to say it was peaceful….well would be lying. They were shouting, taunting, and fighting in the confined space. Dogan being the instigator of most of it. He was blaming the Death Angels for being here; conveniently forgetting it was him that set them up in the first place by making a deal with the Governor. Billy walked forward with Adam by his side, Dogan standing opposite. It was a meeting of leaders. That couldn't lead their way out of a wet paper bag without starting a fight.
"Hello little Billy, Where's you're big bro…oh that's right. He's dead." Dogan laughed, Griff joining in. Adam made to lunge at the two, but Billy's arm stopped him.
"No Adam, it's what he wants." He then turned to Dogan "what's the point now Dogan? We're not getting out of here. I mean they don't even bother to guard us." He indicated the sterile cell. No guard no nothing. Unlike in the Doctor and Rose's cell. Which were parted by bars. This was parted by glass partitions. The cells were hermetically sealed. It was as if they were in a glass box on show.
" What do you think this is for boss?" one of Dogan's boys had walked forward scanning round the cells
"What do I look like? Some kind of scientist? I don't know," He growled, making the young one cower back. About half of each gang were in either cell, but still mixed. They kept to their own faction so there was a gap in the center of each cell. This would often fill with men as they shouted or fought. But all gangs turned as one to the doorway of the room. It swished open to reveal not the shiny sterile hallway, but blackness. The lights had been extinguished out there. Then the lights at the entranceway went off, emergency red lighting snapping to life. It created large patches of shadow. Into the red hue cast by the emergency lights came feet, which as they came forward showed them to be attached to legs. It looked as though the owner had been in water, water or even clear slime dripped to the floor. As finally the lower half showed in the red luminescence, you could see the clean but wet cut of the Governors suit.
"Come on Gov, we had a deal" Dogan shouted, reveling at last his part in this. Causing Death Angels to cry out in outrage. And even some of the Skulls added voice to this. All had known what Justicum represented, imprisonment and death. To think that their leader had made a deal with the enemy. They cried out. But Dogan ignored them, eyes fully on the governor who moved from his spot. But now he chose to speak.
"Did weeeee now? I doon't reeeemember thisss" it was like he was talking with water in his mouth, a hiss as air passed through wetter than normal lips.
"We did damn it. You know it as well as I do" Dogan was now up to the glass.
"Can you run?"
"What?" The governors body moved in such a way that Dogan knew he was looking at him. Then he moved to the door of the other cell and started to key in a code, which would actually open it.
"I said, can you run?" the governor didn't wait for a reply. He keyed the last number and the steel door before him hissed open. He took a step forward and entered the cell. It was then the grown men stared to scream in terror. The slimy, viscous hands and body showed that this was no longer the governor. The Skulls had seen it before. The Death Angels had not. It didn't matter; all in the cell next to Dogan's and Billy's would die.
The creature spread it's feelers, oh so many. There was no escape; the door having closed after it had entered. They tried to escape, but it was no good. The others looked on in horror as those inside screamed and screamed. Their faces twisted in the pain they felt. Their voices, screams became choked as they destroyed their voice. But still it went on. Finally the creature stopped, leaving empty husks, the others seeing the knowledge, the essences, and the soul even enter the creature. It turned back to the others. A grin on its face.
"Can you run?" Then it keyed in the last code of their cell, the door opened. And they ran. The creatures hissing gurgling laugh following them. The hunt had begun.
The creature that was once Rose sensed the change. Felt the creature, a creature she knew was powerful and to be feared so she growled in warning, but she stops as her master jerks the collar, he doesn't want distractions when he is inspecting the X-rays of the strange but familiar man….
