Chapter 15: The Dark Vision
Jack Harkness sat alone and locked in his office inspecting the red diamond that Torchwood confiscated from Regina. It was apparently the most magical object in the universe. Jack knew very well by now that objects with this power should never fall into the wrong hands. So, he had to lock it away in the vaults. Yet he wanted to inspect it first. Regina had literally thrown the diamond inside of him and caused him to explode. Its power could not be questioned.
Gwen was walking by Jack's office. She saw him clearly through the glass walls. She stopped on her way to talk to Martha to watch him. He looked so serious while he was watching the red diamond. Then, Gwen saw Jack close his eyes. When they opened, his entire eyeballs were glowing bright red. Then, Jack started to yell violently.
"Jack!" Gwen yelled.
She immediately ran over to the door and tried to open it. However, as it was locked, she had a difficult time trying to open it. She glanced quickly at Jack again. He had stopped screaming, but his eyes were still glowing bright red. Then Jack started to yell a single word repeatedly.
"No! No! No!" Jack screamed.
Gwen was tired of trying to force this door to open. She stood back and ran right through the glass wall and landed on the floor. The glass had already been cracked by the Weevils relentless beatings from earlier. When Gwen got to her feet, Jack had finished screaming and his eyes were now shut. She ran over to him and shook his body.
"Jack!" She yelled.
Then, Jack's eyes opened and they were normal once again.
"Jack are you alright. That was so scary. What happened?" She asked him.
"I don't know." Jack responded. "This thing. This red diamond. It's power is unbelievable. It reached inside my head and it showed me things."
"What did you see?" Gwen asked.
"It was a vision." Jack responded. "It was a vision of the future."
Jack sounded scared.
"Jack. What did you see?" Gwen asked sounding very serious.
"It wasn't clear. I only saw brief images. But what I saw Gwen scared the hell out of me." He replied.
"Jack don't hold back on me. This is serious. Tell me what you saw." Gwen ordered.
"I saw demons. They had these bright red eyes. And snakes. I saw snakes. They were deadly." Jack said.
"Great. Demons and snakes. That bloody spectacular." Gwen said sarcastically.
"Wait Gwen. I saw something else. It scared me more than the demons and the snakes. It shouldn't have scared me, but it did and I can't explain why."
"What?"
"It was a boy. A young boy. He was dressed in all green and he was flying."
"A flying boy in green clothes. What's so frightening about that?"
"I don't know, but we're going to find out. That was a vision of the future. The demons, the snakes, and the boy. They're coming."
"When are they coming?"
"I don't know. I only know that they are coming soon."
"Well we'll just have to start getting ready."
"Wait Gwen."
"What is it Jack?"
"I saw something good as well. I saw a dear old friend of mine."
"Who?"
"Rose Tyler."
Outside the city of Cardiff was a hill. From on top of this hill, one could view the entire city. Right now on top of this hill was a boy. A young boy dressed in green clothes. Once upon a time, he was called Malcolm. However, the universe had gotten to know him as the infamous Peter Pan. He stood on top of this hill overlooking the city of Cardiff. He was making a plan. An evil plan. He needed the red diamond in order to make it a success. The boy smirked. He knew what to do. He would take the diamond from Torchwood to make his plan a reality and the universe would surely suffer.
