Okay, I've finally made up my mind on how I'm going to do this. This is going to be episodic, and from the Master's point of view. The Master is almost exactly like the Doctor is, just as a different man. It takes place after the Wedding of River Song. Both the Doctor and Master have companions. The Master will be still as I remember him, as John Simm. Oh, and he has a TARDIS with a working chameleon circuit. This is going to be similar to a season of Doctor Who, but switched. I'm also having a little contest. Details at the end. Stay tuned

I don't own Doctor Who

Joseph ran, as fast as he could from the approaching snake. It was hunting him down, and would overtake him any second. The snake was so large, he knew from the start he had no chance. He tripped over a branch in the forest, and fell to his face. He lay there, expecting to be eaten immediately. After a few minutes of him still being alive, he figured it had gone away. He rolled over to see the serpent's face directly in front of him, the last thing he'd ever see. His corpse collapsed to the ground, and the giant snake chowed down.

Master Who

The Master hopped out of his TARDIS, looking around and sniffing the air.

"The Gamma Forests, year 512. Might be some rain in 5... 4... 3... 2... and-" at this he was cut off by a sudden shower, dampening his suit. It stopped just as suddenly, and he looked around smiling before he heard a piercing scream.

He ran into the small nearby village, Derin, population 30. No... Wait. Someone had attempted to paint over the small sign at the head of the town. The population truly was- or had been, at least, at 50. That was curious. He walked up to a young girl, likely no older than 15.

"Hello. I'm Harold. I'm sorry; I just came to town and heard the scream. Is everything alright?" The girl gave him and odd look, but decided to answer the question anyway.

"I'm Lorna. Lorna Bucket. That scream was undoubtedly another victim. And you say you travelled here?"

"Yeah, I'm a bit of a traveler. Now, I'm rather stupid, so I have to ask. Victim of what?" he said, trying to get as much information out of the girl as possible. She seemed to know a lot more than she was letting on. She gave him one of those looks that clearly showed just exactly what she thought of him, but sighed and responded anyway

"Victim of the basilisk" she said slowly, as though she thought he was an idiot. Which she probably did.

"The basilisk? But... basilisks aren't real. They're a myth"

"Not here they aren't" she said somewhat smugly, proud to prove a man so much older than her wrong.

Lorna sitting at the dining room table in silence, knowing what was coming. Knowing she couldn't avoid it. Her brother hadn't come home yet. He hadn't, and there had been a victim today. She knew that any minute, a knock would come on that door, and she would stand up and pretend she didn't know what they were going to say. Just like she had with her father. And then like she'd had to do for her mother. She was lost in thought about how quickly she had lost her family when a knock came on the door. She wiped away the tears she hadn't known she'd been crying, and opened the door.

"Officer Kr- Wait. You aren't him. You're that man from the market today... Harold, right?"

"Yes. I go by Harold sometimes. I have a nickname though, if you'd prefer that. Most people call me The Master."

"I think I'll stick with Harold. Now what are you doing in my house?" she asked disgruntled. He had pushed past her and had begun to explore the house. He turned back to her, and noticed something.

"You've been crying. What's happened Lorna?" he asked with concern, going over to her side immediately.

"My brother. He hasn't come home" she said, trying to hold back tears even then. The Master gave her a mischievous smile.

"Then why don't I find him for you?" he said, grabbing her hand and running out of the house into the nearby forest.

As they entered, a quiet, strangled scream cried out, and Lorna stopped dead in her tracks.

"Charlie" she whispered, letting the tears flow "CHARLIE!" she took off running towards where the sound had come from, the Master following shortly behind. He kept running until he ran into her. He was looking at the back end of a gigantic serpent, rising before a young boy. Lorna ran over to the boy, who was luckily still alive. The basilisk had torn his shirt, however, and grazed his sleeve. The boy cried, as Lorna tried to comfort him, the basilisk more interested in the man who was yelling at him below.

"Hey, you!" the Master called out "Yeah you, you big snake! Ugly scale face!" He turned around as the basilisk whipped around at him, knowing from his limited knowledge on the background of basilisks that a single glance at the eyes could kill a man stone dead. Even a timelord. The snake noticed the cowardly action, and took it to mean that the little man would leave him alone, so he concentrated on his dinner. Charlie had just looked up from his sister as the snake turned around, and stared directly into its eyes. He fell into his sisters arms, his eyes turned to dust. She cried out, knowing now that she was truly alone. But she still had to survive, carry on the Bucket legacy. So she though quickly of what to do, and came up with an idea. She pulled her mirrored sunglasses from her pocket, put them on, and looked up at the great beast. It looked at her intently, planning on a two for one special, when it caught a glimpse of itself and turned into dust, not a single solid part left.

The Master took Lorna home and tried to comfort the crying girl to the best of his abilities. She sat and sobbed, and he rubbed her back and encouraged her to let it all out. She didn't hold back, and soon he feared the house may flood from all of her crying. She was muttering things under her breath, and after the first hour, he had stopped paying attention. When he looked back down again, however, she had stopped crying and muttering and was staring at him, clearly waiting for a response to the question he hadn't heard her ask.

"Sorry, what was that?" he asked, feeling a bit ashamed at himself for ignoring her in such a way. She looked at him with sad eyes and repeated herself.

"Can I come with you?" she asked "I have nothing else left; I have nowhere else to go. And I've ever travelled a day in my life" she said, trying desperately to convince him to let her come. He gave her a small grin, and laughed.

"Of course my dear. Just follow me" he said, leading her out of the room and out back into the forest.

She opened the door, and gasped in astonishment, running inside the man's home, that had formerly presented itself to her as a tree.

"It's so much bigger..." she trailed off, exploring in amazement. The Master smiled and walked up to her, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Yes, it is. And now, it's here for you"

What did you guys think? These will take longer to write than my other stories once I really get into it, so I think I'll try to update biweekly. Anyhow, for the contest! Anyone who can tell me why Lorna Bucket is familiar or what the joke is with her brother can get their name in the next episode. I'll probably do one of these at the bottom of each episode, so stick with me! May the odds be ever in your favor.
