* IT'S ABOUT TO GET REALLY CRAZY SO HOLD ON TIGHT*
He kissed her lightly on the head, his lips hovered on her soft, pale flesh for a moment too long. " I'll see you soon." Those four little words slipped out before The Doctor could even acknowledge what he was saying. He had planted a seed of hope in her mind, fed her a lie and now she would cling onto that hope like a moth to a flame, the flame would extinguish and she would end up hurt. His stomach tied itself in knots as she looked at him with bright, energetic eyes that would soon be replaced by dull, pained ones. The future River back in the ponds residence had lost a part of herself that made her the flirtatious, outgoing person she had been but his abandonment of her had torn that away from her, almost like he'd personally cut a huge gaping hole in her soul.
" I should think so Sweetie. " She batted her eyelashes at him before disappearing with a white flash, back to Stormcage and back to months of loneliness and hardship.
He swallowed hard and pushed a hand through his hair out of habit. " Right old girl, you've had your bit of fun! Lets say we get back to the my wife and son. " He started flipping leavers, pressing buttons and twisting things that looked twistable but the TARDIS just let out a groan as though she was in agony. " What is it girl?" He asked in confusion. Nothing seemed to be working, it was almost like they were stuck vast, sexy wasn't in charge anymore. The TARDIS made a whirring sound but sounded much weaker than before.
Suddenly the TARDIS lights blew up, sending shards of glass everywhere and making The Doctor jump ten foot in the air in fright. " Ok Something is happening and I don't know what. I hate when I don't know what's happening! " He yelled in frustration. At that moment the TARDIS was drained of all power entirely, the ground beneath his feet began to shake and before he knew what was happening he was being hurled into the air at a thousand miles per hour. He closed his eyes and braced himself as he started hurtling to back to the ground like a speeding bullet. He winced as he felt his head collide with the cold glass floor with a loud crack. He blinked repeatedly in an attempt to stay conscious but the blackness creeping into his vision soon rendered him into a comatose state.
" Where is he mom? " River asked her mother as she looked out into the snowy wilderness which was now minus one TARDIS. She lightly Rocked Theta up and down several times as he was starting to cry, clearly picking up on her own distressed mood.
" I don't know sweetheart. " Amy placed a comforting hand on her daughters shoulder and glanced at Rory with a hopeless expression.
" Perhaps he didn't want to be a dad after all. " River sighed and bit her lip.
" Are you kidding River? Didn't you see the way he looked at Theta earlier. Why wouldn't he want to be a father to such a gorgeous little boy. " Amy assured her.
" Then where has that impossible man gotten to? " She pondered.
" He said he was just getting his old cot. " Rory spoke up and smiled warmly at River, despite the anger that was setting in. What had he said to The Doctor before he'd gone out? Oh yeh if you ever hurt my daughter again then you'll regret it and what had he gone and done. Though there was a small sliver of doubt that this was even The Doctors fault, something just didn't add up, something was incredibly wrong. A loud knocking at the front door brought him out of his thoughts.
" Mr and Mrs Williams open up now ! or we'll break our way in . " An very angry male voice screamed and hammered louder on the door.
River, Amy and Rory looked at each other knowingly, fear drilling into their very cores.
The Doctor was awoken by a wave of water being chucked over him, drenching him right to the skin."Hmm." He moaned loudly as he struggled to piece reality together through the thick fog that encompassed his mind. His head was throbbing painfully and his lips were so dry they were cracking. He shivered as the cold water finally settled as a chill deep into his bones. He tried opening his eyes but they felt as heavy as lead.
" Wake up you foolish man. " A woman's voice hissed sinisterly. " I said wake up Doctor. " Ok so it was clear that whoever the woman was she knew him, but who was she? " Wake up." She screamed and slapped him hard across the face, he could tell that there was already a bruise forming.
He lifted his head slowly though found that his neck couldn't support it and just ended up lolling back onto something hard. He squinted his eyes open. " So you know all about me, I hardly see how that's fair considering I know nothing about you. Name yourself. " His voice was meant to be threatening but came out as a strained croak.
" Oh Doctor are you really telling me you don't know who I am. " She laughed like a deranged animal. " Surely you remember the woman who raised your own dear, sweet wife from just a baby. " She sneered patronisingly.
Fear clutched at his two hearts. " Kavarian. " He uttered huskily.
" Yes darling it's me! " She sniggered.
" You can hurt me all you like but I swear if you've hurt River or…" He stopped himself … perhaps Kavarian didn't know about Theta, in which case he would very much like to keep it that way.
" Oh if you were about to say your beloved son, Doctor don't worry I'd never hurt him. He is to play a far too big a part in my plan to win the war against you, but I'm afraid your pathetic little wife is a different matter entirely. " She smiled poisonously at him.
" Don't you dare. " He warned and went to lunge for her but was sent flailing backwards. He finally snapped his eyes wide open but was met with darkness, unable to see the wretched woman's face. Though now he was fully conscious he could tell that he was being held up by shackles, he was in it deep this time.
He felt her fist make contact with his nose with a loud crunch; probably now broken and by the wetness running down his nose and into his mouth, bleeding quite profusely too." Why not? She's useless to me now. " Kavarian asked mockingly.
" You'll never find them. " He stated smugly.
" Oh but Doctor I think you'll find we already have. " She gibed.
" What's that supposed to mean? " He whispered in defeat.
" You see although River Song turned out to be a disappointment, I still raised her. " She stated simply.
" So?" He questioned edgily.
" So I know how her mind works, I know what decisions she will make in situations like these. " She clapped her hands together in joy . " Who is she closest to apart from you, the people she would trust the most to bring up her child? The answer is he ridiculous parents. " The Doctor gulped as he realised where all this was heading. " All I had to do was make it look like you had abandoned her … so she'd have no other choice but to leave him on their doorstep. It was only a matter of time before you headed back to your cherished Time machine. You walked straight into my little trap. "
" So all the time she thought I'd left her, I was here!" He snapped angrily.
" It would appear so. " He had never felt such hatred for anyone as he did now for Madame Kavarian, she added a whole new level of sick and twisted evil that not even the Daleks could match up to.
