I don't own Dr who or Sarah Jane adventures. Please review they inspire me to write more chapters.
The Master landed with a thud sending trash cans rolling."this is why the time lords stopped using vortex minepalaters and built tardises " he ground .
The air was thick with the smell of humans, plotion and tree rich oxygen only one backwater planet smelled like that earth!
Realizing he was in the middle of someone's front yard and that a hysterical ape was likely to call the police he quickly sat up causing his head to swim and the drums to pound louder.
shivers racked his feverish body. He needed to get some sleep and food or he would die and the silence had suspended his ability to regenerate!
He could ask the doctor for help but the master would rather die than let the doctor see him weke like this. But if he didn't get out of the cold night air he probably would.
He was so distracted that he didn't notice that the lights had went on in the house or the soft footfalls of the approaching women.
Suddenly the bright light of a flashlight was in his face.
"What are you doing in my front yard" she demand
The master licked his dry lips nervously he was too weak to move very fast and didn't have the mental strength to hypnotize her he would have to talk his way out of trouble .
"Sorry I got lost " he mumbled staggering to his feet tying to ignore how the earth was spinning making his stumek twist into knots.
She notice the Master's weakened condition realizing he was not well .
"Are you hurt,do you need help?" She asked kindly .
"I'm fine ,fantastic never better" the master lied through his teeth hopeing he sounded cunvencing. The last thing he wanted was to show weaknesses to a human!
Of course his legs would give out on him at that particular moment he would have landed on his face if she hadn't caught him in time the world spind dizzily as the master lost consiness.
When The master woke up much later he found his self in bed with a warm blanket covering his cold and aching body.
The sun was shining through the window,and the master was at loss to explain how he had went from intruder to house guest.
The silence would be after him and the doctor was bound to scene his presence now that he was no longer human. But he was too tired to get up anytime soon.
Though he would never admit it he loved his human life. When he discovered the Truth about how the high council had used him as their puppet to escape the time war he had lost the will to go on.
The torture's Rassilon inflected on him didn't matter to him. He stared into the face of the doomed tyrant with vacant eyes he felt very little of what was done to him. He could see his life for what it really was, a lie. He was struck by the irony of him choosing the master for his name when he had always been a slave.
He had been a slave to Death , a slave to the accursed drums that had told him what to do for the last 900 years, and a slave to the time lords who had done this to him!
Despair filled his soul with the realization that he had wasted all his lives and destroyed any chance for happiness that he might have had. He had turned on the only true friend he ever had and tried to destroy everything he loved !
Rassilon disgusted with the Masters indifference left the broken time lord to die in the dark tower alone with his regrets.
As time went by the masters begin to hear a noise above the sounds of the drums and the war raging outside it sounded like a child crying!
At first he thought it was just part of his madness. It reminded him of his own child Susan when she found out the time lords had banished her father from gallifray.
It was this thought that caused him to speak to the sobbing child.
"Why are you crying child?"
The sobbing stopped and for a moment there was silence the master was beginning to think he had imagined it all when a small voice from the wall answered.
"Because my mummy and daddy are gone and I'm so alone"
The Master felt his face red with anger when he realized rassilon must have locked this little girl in the next room , the monster!
There was nothing he could do for the little girl except maybe kept her preoccupied so she wouldn't have time to think about how they were going to die.
"Hello My name is koschei what do they call you" he said as cheerful as he could to calm her.
"Hello my name is Amelia pond"
This wasn't a gallifrain name it sounded more like a human name what was she here it didn't make sense. Amelia pond didn't make sense and that fascinated him.
"Are you a human Amelia pond" he asked curiously.
" of course stupid Aren't you?" She giggled.
"Nope"
"If you're not human than what are you an alien ? A monster?" She asked just as curious as him.
"Yes" he replys simply because it's the truth ,funny thing is she isn't scared by his confession he can feel her own pain and she can sense his suffering as well.
"Where are you?" she ask suddenly
" I'm on the other side of your wall " why would she ask that?
"Don't be stupid! My aunt's bedroom is on the other side of the wall!"
"On earth?" He asked shocked.
"Yeah" she sighed exasperated
It took a minute for the master to prosses what she had said she wasn't on gallifray at all she must be out side the time lock! But how was she able to connect with him? It was impossible!
It was then he noticed the crack in the wall,it ran thee length of the wall and was aglow with time energy ,with great effort he crawled over to the widening creves causing him to moun in pain.
When he looks through the crack in time he see's her for the first time she's not like any human child he's ever know, she's just a little slip of a girl but there's a strength there under that small frame she's lived only 8 of her year's and has already known grief and The unfairness of life but she still believes and has a faith that confounds the master ,her face is friendly and kind but guarded at the same time the glow from the crack cast a halo over her ginger hair making her look like an angel of mercy.
The ancient stones and mortar that made up the roof above groand and shuddered and begins to crumple down on top of him smashing him into the wall and through the crack in time!
When the master opened his eyes he was lying on the floor of a child's bed room he Set's up in time to see the crack snap shut leaving only a scar in where it had been!
Little amelia stared at him with wide eyes full of wonder and awe.
"Are you real?" She whispered touching his brused face as if she expecteded him to vanish into fine air.
"I'm real if you are" he replied smiling a real smile for the first time in 900 years! She gasped and took a step back from him "your glowing " she said watching him carefully.
The master looked down at his hands they were alite with arton energy he could feel it coursing through his body now burning from the inside out!
He nelt down so he was at eye level with the earth girl "I'm dying " he told her calmly upon hearing this she forgot to be scared of the alien with its glowing skin because she didn't want her new friend to die. The master saw the tears that had started to form in her beautiful green eyes and hurriedly explained"my race can cheat death it's called regenerating, every cell in our body changes and we become someone new stay back and cover your eyes it'll be okay" he said reasuregly forcing a smile to form on his lips so she wouldn't know how much pain he was in.
He stepped back from her and allowed the regeration energy to engulf his dying body and devour all that he was. The pain gave way to relief as the energy consumed his life's regrets and losses and maybe even a little of his madness with it reducing him to his essence wiping the slate clean and building him up again!
Amelia looked down at him amazed at what had just happened in the place of the grimy face sad eyed alien with short-cropped blond hair was a 9-year-old boy with camel color hair and a slightly bigger nose and bright eyes that revealed his true age .
"I swear I get shorter every time I regenerate!" He grumbled running a hand through his light brown hair making Amy laugh. He then caught sight of him self in the mirror he stared dismayed at The skinny freckled juvenile face that stared back at him.
"I'm a child " he said incredusly and his voice even squeeted a little. He couldn't let the doctor see him like this on matter how much he wanted to tell him he was sorry no that would have to wait until he was a bit bigger the doctor would probably Lock him up in the tardis any way .
Using what technology that was available to him ,he rebuilt an chameleon arch with Amy's help the Master found her to bright and followed instructions well. The master changed the programing it so his fob watch would always have a psychic link with his dorment human mind. This was the day Rory Author Willains was born!
that all for now. What do you think should happen next? I'd love to hear your idea's. It always seemed odd that little Amy didn't bat an eye over the doctor regenerating unless she had seen it before! Hopefully I'll have the next chapter up by Christmas . happy holidays!
