Chapter six
Dinner for one
"Mmm, this is delicious!" Tosh exclaimed as she dove into her plate piled high with food. Pedareos had invited them to her house for dinner, although it hardly suited the situation. The Doctor stood, looking out of one of the many windows that surrounded the room. To tell the truth, the house was fairly unkempt. There were T-shirts and spare engine parts everywhere.
"Why thank you, it was my grandmother's secret recipe." Answered Pedareos. "It's been in the family for generations."
"Really," the Doctor said breaking away from the window. He thought he had seen a blond head ducking down into the bushes, but dismissed the thought as a trick of the light. Rose couldn't be here, could she?"How long have you lived here exactly?"
"Our family has lived on New Earth for about five hundred years. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, just wondering." The Doctor replied absent mindedly.
"Hey Doctor, I'm gonna turn in okay?" Tosh informed him.
"Yea, fine." He replied, immersed in his thoughts of Rose. It had been three years since they parted, and yet, lately, he couldn't stop thinking about her.
"There's and extra bedroom down the hall and to the right." Dehman said finally speaking. Tosh walked out of the room, her blue dress trailing out behind her.
"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?"Dehman questioned the Doctor.
"Oh, no I'm fine thanks."
"You really should eat something; you've had quite a day."
"Really, I'm fine." The Doctor said.
"Truly, you must be, at least, a little hungry, a bite or two wouldn't hurt would it?"Dehman persisted.
"Why do you want me to eat so badly?"
"We just want to make sure you're alright. You're in our care, now eat!" Dehman yelled.
"What's in the food?" the Doctor yelled equally loud. Then realization dawned on him. Oh, no Tosh! He thought. He ran down the hall, and into the room Tosh was supposed to be in. He found Tosh strewn across the floor. The Doctor knelled down beside her, she had blood flowing from her nostrils, and down her neck ruining her silky white shall."I'm sorry, so sorry." The Doctor said as he closed his companion's eyes. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver, as he began to scan her. The least he could do was find out what had killed her."Ah," the Doctor said as his sonic screwdriver buzzed over Tosh's motionless body."Neutron acid."
"Correct." Came a voice from behind him, and he remembered he wasn't alone.
"And now you shall die as well." Said another voice."You're smart Doctor, too smart. We wouldn't want to risk you getting in the way of our…"
"Plans." Dehman finished. The Doctor turned around just as Dehman pulled a gun out from behind him; he pointed it straight at the Doctor's head, so he was looking down the barrel of the gun. "You know, you should be thanking me."
"And why is that?" the Doctor said not amused.
"You should be thanking me because; I'm making this quick and painless." Dehman said with a sneer."Can't say the same for Toshy over there, she's paralyzed. Her mind is still active, but the Neutron acid should make it more pain filled. She is dying a slow and painful death. She even gets to hear you die as well, now isn't that lovely?" While Dehman was rambling on, and on, about how evil he was, and about how much pain he was putting Tosh through, the Doctor was formulating a plan.
When Dehman realized he was being ignored he stopped abruptly. "Hey, I was talking to you. And when I talk you listen, ya got that whiz kid?" The Doctor didn't reply he only stared in silence. "Yea? Good, now where was I? Oh yes, I was going to kill you!" Dehman said joyfully. He raised the gun back up to the Doctor's face, what he didn't know was that all the while he was talking, the Doctor had been tinkering with his sonic screwdriver.
"Dehman!" Pedareos shouted at her brother."Just shoot him already; we've wasted enough time as it is." The Doctor took this chance, and with Dehman distracted, he pointed the sonic screwdriver at the gun and pressed the button that activated whatever setting he had chosen. It made a buzzing sound, and that caught Dehman's attention. He pulled the trigger. But to his dismay, nothing happened. There was a small click, but that was all. He tried three more times, nothing. Dehman turned the gun around to look down the barrel to see if anything had blocked the bullets. All of a sudden, four silver bullets came whizzing out of the gun, hitting Dehman between the eyes. He screamed in pain lurching backwards and forwards. Then finally he fell backwards, there was a large thud as his head hit the ground. Pedareos kneeled down by her brother, sobbing, tears began to mix with the blood that covered most of Dehman's face, as she swayed back and forth morning the loss of a loved one."What did you do?" Pedareos screamed, her body shaking violently against the door frame.
"I delayed the bullet fire." The Doctor said solemnly.
"You killed him!"The Doctor didn't respond, he just kneeled down by Tosh. He changed the setting on his sonic screwdriver, and ended her pain. Her heartbeat faded as Tosh drew her last breath. A single tear slid down the doctor's face. He had lost another companion, and it was all his fault she had died. The Doctor opened the window, and leapt out into the starry night.
