Captain Jack and The Doctor
Chapter 2
I locked myself away, not wanting The Doctor's evil to kill more than he did before…. It's been five days and I still don't have the chemicals I need. I haven't been able to eat since I knew I don't have a way to stop the Doctor for good. I can't go on like this…. I was awoken one night by a knock on my door. I walk up and open it and find Monte Rainbow looking at me. "What do you want?" I ask and Monte walks in before looking at the mess from the previous transformation. I never wanted anyone in here, not when I'm like this. "What happened in here?" Monte asks and I look at him. "Where are my chemicals?" I ask avoiding his question. "Dr Harkness-" I turn and grab the collar of his shirt and yell. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Monte cringes and places a hand on my shoulder after I let him go and turn away.
MONTE RAINBOW:
This is not the man I knew, there's something deeply troubling you
How long do you plan to hide away here?
This increasing isolation only adds to your frustration
And it could endanger your career
HARKNESS:
Monte, I don't need you to turn on me as well
More than ever now I need a friend
Can't you see and don't you know I've been through hell?
Don't condemn what you don't comprehend
MONTE RAINBOW:
Captain, I'm not questioning your motives here
But is what you are seeking worth the price?
You've turned your back on everything you once held dear
You're choosing to ignore your friends' advice
You have your work, and nothing more
You are possessed, what is your demon?
You've never been this way before
You've lost the fire you built your dream on
There's something strange, there's something wrong
I see a change; it's like when love dies
I who have known you for so long,
I see the pain in your eyes
There was a time you lived your life
And no one lived the way that you did
You had a plan, you found a wife
You saw your world as very few did
You had it all, the overall
You seemed to know just what to live for
But now it seems you don't at all
You have your work, nothing more
You have your work, and nothing more
You are possessed, what is your demon?
You've never been this way before
You've lost the fire you built your dream on
There's something strange, there's something wrong
I see a change; it's like when love dies
I who have known you for so long
I see the pain in your eyes
(HARKNESS:
Have I become?
My work and nothing more?
I know that's not
What I'm living for)
Master's POV
I can't believe Lisa is going to marry that mad man Jack. I haven't seen him in weeks but she's very persistent….. Why marry the man who has locked himself away pursuing his insanity?!
LISA:
Father, you know Jack won't just walk away
The only way he knows is straight ahead
MASTER:
Lisa, you've not heard a single word I've said
My fear is he's in over his head
He could lose control, and that I dread
There has been talk
They say he's gone too far!
He's locked himself away in his own world pursuing his insanity
LISA:
It is his work!
MASTER:
It's more than work
He is obsessed, the man is driven
LISA:
Just give him time, I ask no more
His work's a crime to be forgiven!
MASTER:
There's something strange, unless I'm blind
I see a change of a bizarre kind
LISA:
There's not at all, don't be unkind
The problem's all in your mind!
(All simultaneously)
MASTER:
He has his work, and nothing more
He is obsessed, the man is driven
LISA:
Just give him time, I ask no more
His work's a crime to be forgiven
MASTER:
There's something strange, unless I'm blind
I see a change of a bizarre kind
LISA:
There's not at all, don't be unkind
The problem's all in your mind!
(MONTE RAINBOW:
Have you become?
Your work and nothing more?
I know that's not
What you're living for)
(HARKNESS:
Lisa…. Lisa…
Lisa…
Lisa, Lisa!)
MASTER:
Still I pray every day Harkness may find his way
I pray he may find his way
I will pray every day Harkness may find his way
I pray he may find his way
(MONTE AND HARKNESS:
I pray you (I) may
Find your (my) way
I pray you (I) may
Find your (my) way)
Jack's POV
"I hope you find your way Captain…" Monte speaks as he walks off and I yell in anger as I feel the Doctor taking control of me. "NO! I WON'T LET YOU!" I hold my breath as I feel the control loosening and I collapse on the floor and look towards a gun on near the stack of papers. I walk over and pick it up before looking at the multiple newspapers with the front page always a different murder.
HARKNESS:
The world has gone insane!
And parasites are eating at my brain!
And nothing is the way it was before!
A pack of wolves is howling at my door!
I'm living in a non-stop nightmare!
Dead men's dreams!
Filled with screaming pain!
Hurling me to mad extremes
In a world that's gone insane!
The world has lost its head!
And every evil hour is filled with dread!
I'm floating on a lake – but upside down!
And when I try to breathe,
I start to drown!
I cannot speak as
Nameless ghosts and faceless ghouls
Bid me join the dead!
No one tells these gruesome fools
That the world has lost its head!
Fiendish creatures leave their graves to taunt me!
Old friends risen from the dead to haunt me!
God forsaken images that daunt me,
Drowning in an endless flood of blood!
The world has gone berserk!
And hiding in the murk, new monsters lurk!
I see a sea of snakes upon the floor!
I see the reaper grinning at my door!
I scream in silence!
Bad is good, and good is bad!
Sacred is profane!
And it's wiser to be mad…
In a world that's gone insane!
DOCTOR'S POV
I've gained control over Jack and once again walk out of the house. I look around until I see Lisa…. Sweet, sweet Lisa…. It's fate but bliss…. Sweet Lisa, you're folly will cost you dear, my dear … you'll see you'll never escape me…. I'm here, I fear. And you will pay dear…. Jack's bride will be dead by dawn! Wait- I can't…. let's see if she'll see the real me! I walk up to her and put a hand on her shoulder only to find she's not Lisa. She's…. she's…. Amy…. Amy Pond…. Hehehe…. The one that will fall for me…. Will meet her fate…..
AMY:
I feel your fingers -
Cold on my shoulder -
Your chilling touch,
As it runs down my spine -
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul -
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine.
At the touch of your hand -
At the sound of your voice -
At the moment your eyes meet mine -
I am out of my mind -
I am out of control -
Full of feelings I can't define!
DOCTOR:
It's a sin with a name -
AMY:
Like a hand in a flame -
DOCTOR:
And our senses proclaim
DOCTOR/AMY:
It's a dangerous game!
DOCTOR:
A darker dream -
That has no ending -
That's so unreal
You believe that it's true!
A dance of death -
Out of a mystery tale -
The frightened princess
Doesn't know what to do!
Will the ghosts go away? -
AMY:
No -
DOCTOR:
Will she will them to stay? -
AMY:
No -
DOCTOR:
Either way, there's no way to win!
AMY:
All I know is' I'm lost -
DOCTOR:
No-
AMY:
And I'm counting the cost -
DOCTOR:
No-
AMY:
My emotions are in a spin!
I don't know who to blame...
DOCTOR:
It's a crime and a shame!
AMY:
But it's true all the same
DOCTOR/AMY:
It's a dangerous game!
No one speaks -
Not one word -
But what words are in our eyes
(ALTERNATING)
Silence speaks -
Loud and clear -
All the words we (don't) want to hear!
At the touch of your hand -
At the sound of your voice -
At the moment your eyes meet mine -
I am losing my mind -
I am losing control -
Fighting feelings I can't define!
AMY:
It's a sin with a name -
DOCTOR:
No remorse and no shame -
Fire, fury and flame -
AMY:
'Cuz the devil's to blame
DOCTOR/AMY:
And the angels proclaim
It's a dangerous game!
I take out a knife and slowly slide it across her throat. She falls limp in my arms as I laugh as the blood gets on my hands. I think it's time I let that pathetic Jack see what I've done….
JACK'S POV
I regain control and instantly fall back. Blood was on my hands and on my clothes. I couldn't let anyone see Amy dead and me with blood on me! They'll think I did it! I instantly run off in the rain and stop running when I'm out of sight. I sit down on a park bench in the pouring rain. I have pulled my coat over me so I try to stay as dry as possible but tears still find their way into my eyes.
HARKNESS:
Lost in the darkness,
Silence surrounds you.
Once there was morning,
Now endless night.
I will find the answer.
I'll never desert you -
I promise you this -
Till the day that I-
DOCTOR:
Do you really think
That I would ever let you go?
Do you think I'd ever set you free?
If you do, I'm sad to say,
It simply isn't so.
You will never get away from me!
HARKNESS:
All that you are
Is a face in the mirror!
I close my eyes and you'll disappear!
DOCTOR:
I'm what you face
When you face in the mirror!
Long as you live, I will still be here!
HARKNESS:
All that you are
Is the end of a nightmare!
All that you are is a dying scream!
After tonight,
I shall end this demon dream!
DOCTOR:
This is not a dream, my friend -
And it will never end!
This one is the nightmare that goes on!
I am here to stay,
No matter what you may pretend -
And I'll flourish, long after you're gone!
HARKNESS:
Soon you will die,
And my silence will hide you!
You cannot choose but to lose control.
DOCTOR:
You can't control me!
I live deep inside you!
Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!
HARKNESS:
I don't need to survive,
As you need me!
I'll become whole
As you dance with death!
And I'll rejoice
As you breathe your final breath!
DOCTOR:
I'll live inside you forever!
HARKNESS:
No!
DOCTOR:
With Satan himself by my side!
HARKNESS:
No!
DOCTOR:
And I know that, now and forever,
They'll never be able to separate
Jack from his Doctor!
HARKNESS:
Can't you see
It's over now?
It's time to die!
DOCTOR:
No, not I!
Only you!
HARKNESS:
If I die,
You die, too!
DOCTOR:
You'll die in me
I'll be you!
HARKNESS:
Damn you, Doctor!
Set me free!
DOCTOR:
Can't you see?
You are me!
HARKNESS:
No!
Deep inside-!
DOCTOR:
I am you!
You are me!
HARKNESS:
No - Never!
DOCTOR:
Yes, forever!
HARKNESS:
Good damn you, Doctor!
Take all your evil deeds,
And rot in hell!
DOCTOR:
I'll see you there, Captain!
HARKNESS:
Never!
I get up from the ground I collapsed on and start running home to lock myself away again and try to sleep this off for just a few more nights. But I know it's not possible… The Doctor will force me to go outside and murder more than Amy…. I can't let anyone see. Not when the wedding's tomorrow…. I can't let Lisa see what I've done…. I made Monte promise to do what I say without question and he agrees to do so.
A few days later, I was surprised to find that the wedding reception went fine, but I knew the Doctor would try something to kill one more person before the night was up. And I was right….
HARKNESS:
Mrs. Harkness, may I have this dance?
LISA:
Captain Harkness, you may have every dance.
That was when I felt something, a sharp pain coursing through me; Monte notices and jogs over to me when I motion for him.
MONTE RAINBOW:
Jack, what is it?
HARKNESS:
Don't make a fuss... terrible pain... get me out of here... need to breathe!
MONTE RAINBOW:
Oh, my God!
HARKNESS:
Oh, God, what now?
Oh God, not now!
Help me somehow!
Please take the pain away!
Feel it fill me!
This will kill me!
Please, God, will me
Somehow to fight, I pray!
Oh, God, help me!
God have mercy!
Don't let her see!
Not on our wedding day!
LISA:
Jack?
DOCTOR:
There is no Jack... Only the Doctor!
MASTER:
Look at this monster, Lisa!
DOCTOR:
And what would you have done with her, Master?
Put her in one of your Camden Town whorehouses and rented her out a shilling a time?
MASTER:
Damn you, Captain - enough!
DOCTOR:
Enough, indeed! End-of-game!
We seem to be married, my love!
Ready for our bridal bed, are you?
MONTE RAINBOW:
Captain, stay back! Don't touch her! I beg you - stop! Stop now!
I felt the sharp pain as Monte shot me… even in the Doctor's form I can still feel the pain of that one shot. Lisa screams and so does everyone around me. I fall to my knees clutching my side while desperately trying to get control away from the Doctor.
LISA:
Jack! Oh God Jack...
MASTER:
Lisa, no! Stay back!
LISA:
Jack, it's me! If this is you, show me!
I grab her and hold a knife to her throat. The Doctor tries to kill her but I refuse, I glare at everyone and Monte yells at me to stop.
MONTE RAINBOW:
No! Stop him!
DOCTOR:
Stay! Or she dies!
LISA:
Jack, I know you don't want to hurt me! I know you can hear me... Let me go...
Jack, please... For us... Let me go... please...
I manage to gain back control from the Doctor but I know he won't be letting go of me that soon. I had to take that chance…. I had to have someone kill me….
HARKNESS:
Do it, Monte. I beg you. Set me free.
MONTE RAINBOW
I can't, Jack!
HARKNESS:
We promised, remember?
MONTE RAINBOW:
Forgive me.
Monte fires his gun multiple times and my screams are mixed with the Doctor's. Lisa screams as I fall to my side and kneels by me.
LISA:
NO!
DOCTOR / HARKNESS:
Lisa...Lisa...Lisa...
LISA:
Go to sleep, my tormented love…..
As I slipped away from life and the Doctor's evil influence I swear I heard Lisa and… Amy…. singing. Those voices made me want to go back to my life but I knew if I would the Doctor would return…. And I'm not letting anyone else die because of it….
LISA:
Once upon a dream,
I was lost in love's embrace
I had found a perfect place
Once upon a dream
HARKNESS:
Once upon a dream,
I conceived a perfect plan
That would change the face of man
Once upon a dream
HARKNESS, LISA, & AMY:
And I was unafraid,
The dream was so enticing,
But now I see it fade…
LISA:
And I am here alone
Once upon a dream,
You were heaven-sent to me
Were you never meant to be?
Was it just a dream?
Could we begin again?
Once upon a dream?
