warning: what is to come is down right CREEPY, DISTURBING, and ocasionally JUST PLAIN WRONG.

update: i know this chapter was up earlier, but I took it down, and now I'm putting it back up again just under a different name

PLEASE READ AUTHORS NOTE AT THE BOTTOM!

The happiness was short lived. Even if they had just gotten rid of the Daleks, hopefully for good, there was still one more problem to deal with.

"Congratulations," came Edd's dry voice. "You've destroyed the Daleks, but what are you going to do about me?"

"That depends," the Doctor said, turning to look at him. "You can just make all of our lives easier and go home. But I've got a feeling that that's not going to happen."

"Of course not! I might still be able to get a promotion out of this."

"That means I'll have to stop you, from whatever you're going to do." The Doctor turned to Jack. "Don't kill him."

Plans were already swimming in his head. All the things he could do to make their lives miserable! Of course, he couldn't kill the Doctor. Doing so would make him public enemy number one back home. But that didn't mean he could have some fun. Maybe he would get promoted because he made a really awesome future episode.

But where to start?

There was Jack, he wasn't a bad target. But he wasn't important. No, and neither was that girl, Tabitha. His main focus now was the Doctor and Alice. He knew who just to start with. Grinning, he set the plan into action.

"Alice," the Doctor whispered. She looked up at him. "Edd's a mind reader, if you know anything that might be in his future, block it from sight. Make sure he can't get into it, you hear me?"

Alice nodded. "No problem."

Edd lunged forward, eyes only on his target. Jack got in his way. Edd glared, but then cast an amused glance at the gun Jack had trained on him. "You wouldn't kill me" he laughed. "Which is great! Because it means I can do this!" An electric green lightning bolt formed at his fingertips, and he jabbed Jack in the stomach.

Jack fell over, dead.

"Now let's just give him a minute" Edd said. "Three… two…"

Jack gasped, and came back to life.

"Wasn't that fun?" Edd asked, a creepy smile on his face. He reached forward and grabbed Alice by the wrist and pulled her towards him. Producing a knife from one of his pockets, he held it to her throat.

"Also fun," he said, still grinning that creepy grin. "Now if you'll excuse us." The two of them disappeared in a flash of light.

Alice stumbled away from her captor, and ignored him long enough to keep building that mental wall up around anything that might have something to do with his future. Edd grabbed her by the shoulder and forced her to turn around and stare at his cold eyes.

Cold, green, eyes.

And not just any color green either. Electric green.

"No," Alice whispered, "Jack said-"

"Jack said what I told him to say" Edd explained. "It was only a low level mind-control. He'll be fine, but it got me what I wanted. If I'm lucky, I might still be able to get a promotion."

She turned on him, bow aimed.

"I don't see why you all keep doing this," Edd drawled. "If you kill me you'll mess up your past. Also, you'd lose your ride back to civilization."

Alice glared at him. "Answer this one question, because it will decide whether or not I'll shoot you through the heart, right here, right now. Have you met anyone named Abigail?"

"No," Edd replied. "Is she important?"

"She's the only thing keeping you alive right now" Alice said, and lowered the bow.

"I'm getting the strangest of images. Not a lot, your mental block's a strong one. I'll give you that. Hundred years ago, Hyrule's past, I did something and it involved her. Abigail LiteHart. You don't seem to happy about it, even though that event is very important in your timeline." Edd shrugged. "I won't argue with the laws of time, I guess that can be my next stop. But first…" He laid a hand on her cheek, which she immediately tried to shy away from, but he had trapped her in his gaze. A smile of sick satisfaction crept onto his face.

"Put down the bow" he ordered.

"No" Alice said. Speech still worked, though it seemed movement was near impossible.

"You're a fighter aren't you?" Edd asked. His eyes formed a glare and the smile fell off his face. "I'll ask you again, before I force you. Put down the bow."

Alice did her best to look away, but she couldn't keep herself from look at his eyes. They contrasted well against the white background, which Alice trying to focus on. Where ever the heck they were, there was nothing but whiteness around them. There wasn't even a way to tell the difference between the ground beneath their feet from the sky above their heads. If there even was a sky.

"Be that way then," he snarled. His eyes flashed, bringing Alice's gaze back to them. "Put down the bow" he ordered, voice rising. The order was both spoken and mental. A stronger voice in the back of her head relayed the order.

Against her will, she dropped the bow. Using this moment of freedom Alice slapped Edd's hand away. "Don't touch me!" she shouted at him.

Edd was fuming. "THAT WAS A FULL FLEDGED FREEZING SPELL! How the heck did you managed to break it? Do something like that again and I'll chain your hands to the ceiling!"

"There's a ceiling?"

"I don't know," Edd admitted. "But there definitely can be!"

They glared at each other in silence for a while.

Back in "civilization" as Edd called it (we would know it as Disarray) the Doctor was sitting on the spot that Edd and Alice had disappeared from moments before. He stared at the ground, eyes not seeing. Images flashed through his head.

Companions, lost, to a wide variety of mishaps and dangers. People, dead, because of him. His home, lost in fire. Everything, gone. And he's the only one that survives.

He had even said it himself. Everything must turn to dust.

"Doctor," Jack said, "she'll be fine. That wasn't much of a teleport, he can't have gone far. Even if he has, there was a lot of energy displacement. He'll be easy to track."

"The TARDIS won't be able to get where they went" the Doctor said quietly. "That was… a certain type of energy that we won't even be able to trace. And even if we could; where ever he took her won't be a place where the TARDIS can land."

"I'm sure he'll bring her back."

"Even if he does, imagine what he could be doing to torture her as we speak."

"What could a kid like that do to harm anyone?" Jack asked.

"The entire vortex was screaming out in anguish at him!" the Doctor said angrily, turning to glare at Jack. "The whole universe wanted him dead. Even Alice admitted it, he was, or is, or will be a terrible person! A man that should be killed! He could do plenty of terrible things."

"Maybe we could look him up, and then we'll know what we're up against."

Tabitha grinned. "I think I've got just the thing to help you!"

also, I must ask, but please could you just review and tell me what you think of Edd? This is the first time he's ever been out in public (properly, anyways) and I'm a bit nervous about... well... everything he is as a character. and honestly, what you've seen in this chapter might only be half of his abilities, he can be a lot more scarier than this. so it would be nice if you could review and let me know if he's too scary, not scary enough, could be scarier, just perfect, whatever

enough rambling, just let me know of your thoughts of Edd in a review
