Chapter 3 can this be real
Just looking at the cell walls was enough to drive any one mad. It seemed to get squeeze you as you looked around. Romana gave herself a light tap on the cheek,
"Snap out of it!" she went over in her head. She sat in the corner with her head in her knees thinking what might happen to her if she stayed in this cell forever. Suddenly remembering the watch what had gotten her here in the first place she jerked up incense of escape. Peering at her wrist she looked in terror as the watch was giving off beeping noises and flashes. She lifted the worn our leather lid and a picture of a battery was blinking on and off the mini screen, and then all went quiet. The battery must have burned out while she was in the vortex not programming co-ordinates to into is data base.
Giving up all hope she buried her head in her knees, trying to maintain the water works. As she went to lie down she felt a tug on her shoulder like someone was trying to wake her from a deep sleep. Romana sat up and looked down. A bag was caught under her leg pulling to brake free. The first thing that came into her mind is that it would make a great pillow. Lowering her head on to the bag something hard banged against it. Pulling it into reach she remembered the bag of things the Tharil had given her. She opened it with excitement to reveal a cluster of junk. Planting her arm into the bag and pulled out a pair of black binoculars. They were small and looked very futuristic with added extras a normal pair wouldn't have. To try them out she peered through the bars up the stairs to search for the light. She discovered that they had in range of different settings, night vision, heat vision and face recognition. She put down the binoculars and reached her hand in again and this time she pulled out a strange looking pen with a blue light on the end. Searching the side she found a small button what activated the light and made a strange buzzing sound.
Putting her hand in once more she fetched out a piece of paper, a list of all the things the bag contained. She held up the pen in hope of finding its name, suddenly coming across a name that read sonic pen. Knowing what sonic meant she hurried to the door in hope of it unlocking so she could escape. Many times she tried to unlock the cage door but luck and hope wasn't on her side. She gave up and sat down in silence, closing her eyes and praying for the worst.
"TAP TAP, TAP TAP!" in her head another and another. One after the other the tapping didn't stop a beat of four every time. As soon as she opened her eyes she realised it was her mind at work but on the wall next to her.
Scrabbling to her feet she moved slowly to the small window what revealed the cell next door. Gradually spinning her head she saw nothing but an empty room, not thinking twice about it she spun back round quickly in relive. But the tapping didn't stop; she poked her fingers in her ears to block out the noise. Not much later she checked to see if the noise had stopped. The tapping had come to a holt, but in its place a small murmur. Getting up again she quickly turned round to nearly die in shock as a dirty face, something she wasn't expecting, was at the miniature window.
The man had a smile on his face as he found it funny Romana had just nearly fainted.
"What do you want?" she shouted with an angry tone. The smile on the man's face went dead as he turned away with his hands behind his back. He had grey hair and looked as if he had lived in these cells for years without contact from the outside world. If you looked at his eyes the madness he suffered would take you over and drive you insane. His clothes were as dirty as his face and he also smelt like a pig on a bad day. Romana wrinkled her nose incense of the stench.
"So you are the human they speak of" he assumed, as he turned back around insight of his cell mate.
"Human, I wish, I'm about as human as anyone else on this god forsaken rock". He came closer and the smell got worst, wanting to puke Romana backed away to the other wall.
"So you are trespassing on this planet, other species aren't welcome here as gallifrey is home to us times lords" he said with his eyebrows raised.
"Why would I be trespassing on my own world, I only came on an accident, this is all a big misunderstanding".
"So you are one of us", he cut off midsentence and cupped his hands over his face. Suddenly he ran up bars and clinched his teeth together.
"Can you hear them" he said.
"Hear what" she said he panic.
"The drums, the call to war, and the four beats of a time lord's hearts" he said through his teeth. At this point Romana was scared of him, praising that he was on the side of the bars.
"Who are you" she said out of fear.
"The master and all shall bow to me when I take the universe as my own". All Romana could think of him as he was babbling the words of a mad scientist were that he needed serious help.
His whole face was bright red and all Romana could do was watch him as she sat in the corner away from the mad man. Suddenly his exposed skin turned blue and his skeleton became visible for a few seconds like a 3D x-ray, like he was half dead and greedy for power. She searched the bag for things that might help. She pulled out a gun what had no ammunition and a pair of glasses what were no help at all. Just then a light appeared at the top of the stair well and guards came with what looked to be similar to the staff a man would walk with in his old age. He poked the master screaming in half pain half laughter. The staff sent a fifty volt charge straight through his body and in that moment all went silent as he fell to the floor in a deep sleep. The same guard that had sent Romana down into the prison came down the stairs and looked at the body in disgust.
Then turned to Romana with an evil smirk and said "we're ready for you now" then opened the door in order for her to follow.
