Luna's Prophecy

Luna stared horrified at Granger as his plan details sank in to her mind. She could only image what this mad man wanted to do the Doctor. It made her skin crawl and her stomach churn. There had to be something that could be done. All Luna could think was that whatever she had to do; she had to protect the Doctor. Right now, the prophecy was far from her mind. Then a thought occurred to her. Ok, it would be no good for her but at least everyone else would be ok.

"If you need someone from Gallifrey," She piped up, trying to hide her nerves, "Then you already have one. I'm a female Time Lord."

At first Granger just stared at Luna, as if absorbing her information. Luna felt her hearts pounding, waiting to hear his verdict. Suddenly, he started chuckling. Luna was completely confused.

"W-what is so funny?" She asked, "I am telling the truth. Check my hearts if you don't believe me."

"That won't be necessary, Miss Edwards," He replied, "As soon as you arrived, I had you scanned. You didn't notice but it happened. Anyway, I know what you are. And, please let me say, you are a beautiful specimen. I can see why the Doctor likes to keep you to himself."

Luna blushed. She knew that it was her own choice to stay with the Doctor for so long but she wasn't prepared for their relationship being interpreted like that.

"So why am I no good for your sick plan?"

"That is because I want wisdom and experience. Also you are not a big enough threat to the Daleks."

"So why am I still alive?"

"Oh, that's easy. You are my bait."

Luna's hearts sank.

Back in London, Victoria was sat by her window, staring out. She was really worried about Luna. The Daleks were still terrorising people and chasing them everywhere. More casualties had been counted and the whole world was living in fear. For the first time, she actually believed that her adopted daughter wasn't coming back. Although she was sure the Doctor would protect Luna to the very end, she was sure he was going to meet the same fate. The way they looked at each other this time around said everything. Her adoptive daughter was in love but it could be too late.

"I can't think like that," She scolded herself, "Luna will be fine. The Doctor promised. He'll get her out of danger in time."

But there is always that doubt…

Across in Torchwood, the Doctor was typing frantically, reading his way through anything related to the Daleks invading, witness statements, UNIT files, Torchwood Files, anything remotely linked to the Daleks. Gwen and Ianto were slightly stunned at the speed he worked. For Jack, Martha and Sarah Jane, they had never seen their old friend and mentor so quiet before. He was focused completely on the screens around him. He was determined to find Luna and find out what the Daleks were up to.

"She must be special." Martha commented.

"Yeah," Jack replied, "She's a good companion, like any of us, but she is different from us in a way. The reason the Doctor is like this right now.

"What do you mean?" Sarah Jane asked, "How is she different?"

Jack took a deep breath. He knew the Doctor wouldn't be too pleased but Luna's secret needed to be shared now.

"Put it this way," He finally said, "The Doctor isn't alone any more."

Sarah Jane and Martha stared at each other in shock. Then they looked at the Doctor, his back to them. No wonder he was anxious. Loosing Luna would break his hearts again. None of them wanted to see that.

Back at Doctor Granger's hideout, Luna was taking in the fact Granger was going to use her to lure the Doctor to them. Suddenly, she felt anger take over.

"He won't fall for it!" She spat, "The Doctor is the most intelligent creature in the whole universe. No one in the whole of time and space can match him. He'll see straight away it's a trap and will stamp all over your plans. You have no idea who you're messing with!"

"Ahh, but Luna," Granger purred, "I know the Doctor's weakness, a weakness that I am sure that even you know. He will see the trap awaiting him but he will walk straight in. And do you know why?"

Luna could feel all her hope, faith and strength just gush away. Where Granger was going with this was completely true.

"He'll do it because…"

"He'll want to save me."

"Exactly"

The hideout fell silent. Luna slowly sat on the ground, all her energy emotionally spent, and felt her tears stream down her face. Granger smirked arrogantly and turned to the nearest Dalek.

"Set up phase two of the strategy."

"I will obey!" It replied.

Luna just watched helplessly as the Daleks skirted past her, carrying on with their work, some of them glaring at her with their glowing eyestalks.

Back in Torchwood, the team were settling down for a cup of tea. However, the Doctor wasn't with them. He was reading the last report. He had found nothing useful and looked ready to give up. He sat right back in his chair, rubbed his eyes under his glasses and let out a heavy sigh.

"I can't give up," He muttered to himself, "Luna's out there some where. I can't just leave her to the mercy of the Daleks. I've got to find her."

He was unaware of the company coming his way.

"Doctor," A sweet Welsh accent interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up to see Gwen holding out a mug of tea towards him.

"I hope it's to your liking," She smiled, "Even a Time Lord needs a rest."

"Thanks," He replied, taking the mug, "You're Gwen Cooper aren't you?"

"Yes, well, it's Gwen Williams now."

She held up her wedding ring. The Doctor smiled a little as Gwen pointed to Rhys.

"What's he like?" He asked.

"Ooh, he's lovely. A bit of a fool sometimes but I love him to bits and his so loyal, especially putting up with me and this job."

"He's good man by the sounds of it then. Did Captain Jack Harkness not sway you?"

Gwen spotted the cheekiness in the Doctor's face as he said that.

"It's hard to resist Jack sometimes," She replied, "But I was already in love with Rhys before I met Jack. But life's definitely more interesting with Jack about."

"Well, you hang on to Rhys for all you're worth. Don't let him go. Trust me; I've lost enough people to know how much it hurts."

Gwen turned to the Doctor and got a shock. His eyes looked tired, making him look so old. The weight of the whole universe and the wisdom of nine hundred year plus were written in his face right now.

Suddenly, all the monitors in the hub started beeping and the television screen changed. They were greeted with the face a man. Behind the man, a load of Daleks was staring at the screen, as if tormenting everyone. Everyone in the Torchwood Hub was very confused.

"Who is he?" Ianto asked.

"I've never seen him before." Jack replied.

"I think I know who he is," James answered, "I think he worked for UNIT in the eighties."

"Greeting Earthlings," The man spoke, "I am Doctor Dalton Granger. I hope my metallic friends have been keeping you all in line. You can thank me for that."

"What!" The Doctor exclaimed.

"HE brought the Daleks here!" Jack yelled.

"How is that possible?" Sarah Jane asked, "The Daleks listen to nobody but each other. So how has this happened?"

No one spoke. They were all too stunned.

"Now, I want to ask you all something…Do you recognise this young lady."

He stepped out of the camera's field of vision to reveal a terrified and vulnerable brunette girl. Luna was still alive but looked almost ready to give up.

"Luna" The Doctor gasped.

He had never seen her look so scared.

"He's got Luna!" James barked, "I'm going kill that guy!"

"Hey cool it, Sergeant," Jack said firmly, "She's still alive and we need everyone alive in order to save her."

Then Granger appeared again except this time he was stood near Luna.

"I am specifically talking to one person. The Doctor, if you want to see you lovely little companion alive ever again, then I suggest that you surrender. Show yourself to the nearest Dalek and I'll take care of the rest."

"Doctor, please don't!" Luna shouted.

"Oh, and believe me, if you try any tricks or refuse to comply, then the Daleks will kill her."

Then the screens weren't blank, leaving the whole of the Hub stood in silence. What were they going to do now?
