Chapter 10

A/N I don't own anything that you recognize. Thank you everyone for reading. Thanks for the reviews The Twenty-fifth Doctor.

I could not stop screaming. It felt like there were hot knives stabbing all over or that someone was shooting me, burning me with a laser gun. Even more painful that the physical pain was the emotional. The master was in front of me. It was just moments ago, at least for me, that I was about to comfort a master who I had just stopped from taking over the world. I had been about to win a battle in our games. Now I was facing a master that had regenerated. Even I who had crossed time streams with myself numerous times struggled to comprehend what was going on. The physical did not help at all. The pain was very distracting.

As the Master or Missy as she called herself had told me who she was I could believe it though. There was the same madness in her eyes that was always in the master's eyes. She moved with the same deliberate grace of a predator, that the master had even when we children back on Gallifrey. All the mannerisms that would carry over from regeneration to regeneration were there if you knew what to look for and I did. I was ashamed at times to say that I knew the master almost as well as I knew myself. Our lives were so intertwined. We had seen each other so many times throughout all our lives. I had to figure out what their endgame was. The master always had an endgame, each action deliberate his, well her, part. As always I was the only one who could figure out. The only one who always stopped him from wherever his mad scheme took him.

What was her endgame this time? There was someone else with her. That would change things a bit. She was the one torturing me. I recognized her too but I didn't understand how I could get there. How I had to have gotten there. There were very few things that could drag someone from their own universe and into another without killing them. Not to mention the hole that it never fails to leave behind that other things can travel through. I had to close that. First I had to deal with a crazy Bellatrix Lestrange and a similarity crazed lady master. What was their plan and if Bellatrix Lestrange was here, did that mean Voldemort was nearby or did mine and the master's presence change the story so much that Voldemort was not there?

I mean if I had to guess based on being in a world where Harry Potter was real and Bellatrix was there that we were in Malfoy manor. More specifically in the dungeons seeing as how I was shackled in a dank dark basement with no sonic screwdriver. I hadn't exactly been given a good look around though. Being immediately tortured upon arrival and then strung up while one is unconscious tends to have that effect.

Suddenly the pain stopped as I heard a gasp. "Bella? What is the dear?" asked who I could identify as the Mistress.

"Master is calling. I must go. He is taking Hogwarts." said a gasping Bellatrix with, was that laughter?

"I know dear. Very exciting. But you remember what I told you happened. Don't you?" said Missy back. She had told Bellatrix what had happened in the story. It was no wonder that things were different. Missy was clearly deliberately changing things, but to what ends?

"The Potty brat can't kill the dark lord. He is immortal and superior. No one can kill the dark lord!" Bellatrix sad with a definite cackle this time.

"I've been right so far about what has happened haven't I? Missy would never steer you wrong. Missy does not want her friend Bellatrix to die does she." Missy crooned.

"I would be happy to loose my life in service of the dark lord!" Bellatrix yelled.

"I know dear, but wouldn't it be better if we stuck to our plan and get revenge." Missy continued on

"The dark lord will triumph!" Bellatrix continued on her spiel.

"Yes I now, but won't he be happy with you if you capture him more enemies" Missy continued. I knew that she was using a little hypnosis as the Bellatrix from the books would go to her master for anything.

"Yes I shall help the dark lord!" She cackled again.

"That's right. To do that we shall lure the traitors here." My eyes went wide as I realized what she meant. "Yes my dear Doctor you are the bait. As soon as you know that you are being tortured you are sure to come running to preserve the timeline or some such nonsense. Then knowing you you are sure to team up with the good guys and come to take out big bad Missy And when you do... A surprise will be waiting. I am filled with surprises after all." the last bit she whispered in my ear. Then she did the last thing I expected. She kissed me.

She backed away smiling, "See Doctor . Surprises." She twirled away. I was still stunned as Bellatrix started with the pain curse again.

I tried to think through the pain. What were they thinking. Both universes could come crashing down. The Master I knew knew better than that. Clearly this Missy was even crazier in her own way.

It seemed to be days and days of off and on again pain but I knew it couldn't have been more than twelve hours. Then the pain finally came to a stop as I heard Bellatrix gasp again and leave yelling about something. Missy followed her up stairs.

I was glad to happy a peaceful moment to think and try to find a way out of the situation that I found myself in. My head was starting to clear when I felt a connection. No. I was too late. I hung my head a bit. I was too late to stop myself crossing dimensions. I had just felt myself arrive. Now the only thing I could do was try to escape so that we could try to stop them together. With that I went back to trying to figure out how to get out of the cuffs. Why couldn't I have my sonic when I needed it?
