CHAPTER 3
HARD TO HATE
Milly had remained in the small bathroom for just over an hour, her sobs had stopped long ago and now only their silence passed between them. Jack was sat with his back against the door, allowing himself to doze into short sleeps every now and again each only lasting 5-10 minutes before a voice above him echoed down through the ceiling waking his each time.
They were both silent as they listened to a voice above them, they could only hear one side of the convocation as the Master was on the phone to someone and he didn't sound too pleased with the information he was receiving.
The door behind Jack opened and revealed Milly, her face was pale and her eyes were sunken and het her beauty radiated through. She was terrified; her hands were shaking and stood nervously above Jack for awhile, as if waiting for Jack to accept her back into the room. The older man stood and opened his arms to embrace the trembling girl as she leapt into his grasp burying her face into his chest.
"It's ok" he muttered resting his chin on her head and gently placing his large hand into her soft hair. Milly shook her head instantly and withdrew from his grip, her steel blue eyes teary once more. "No its not!" she exclaimed a look of desperation on her face as she pleaded with him to understand. Jack merely cocked his head to one side and furrowed his brows in confusion at the desperation in her voice.
"I'm only here to make you hurt!" she explained nervously "I was send down here to practice my gift on you, and I can't go back and know nothing new or he will punish us both! Don't you understand I have to hate you" tears flowed freely down her pasty cheeks now as she pushed past Jack and began climbing the ladder back to the surface.
Before Jack had a chance to stop her Milly's fist was banging violently against the lid screaming for the Master to take her out. When the door finally opened to reveal the Master with a face like thunder. "What?!" He bellowed, almost making Milly fall off the ladder.
"Get me out now, I can't do it!" she whimpered and crawled out as the Master shifted to allow her to leave. "I'm so sorry" she mouthed to Jack before escaping the room; Jack followed her footsteps on the ceiling before she left the room above him.
Jack trembled as the Master descended the steps, his fiery eyes never leaving his prey. "What did you do?" he asked softly, approaching Jack as slowly as he could, trying to contain his rage for the time being. Jack shook his head, trying to get words out but the fear set in again and his lips when dry. The Master finally reached him, and although his façade was calm, his face was red and his eyes portrayed his anger.
"What. Did. You. Do?" He quizzed, punctuating each word with a hard punch to his gut making Jack see stars as the inevitable pain set in again. "I… I don't know!" Jack snapped back, maybe a bit too harsh as the Master's hand was on his chin in a death grin before Jack could breathe. The time lord's face was mere mm from his, the vein popping in the older man's forehead.
He raised a finger to his captives face and held it there for a moment, Jack's eyes widened. He wasn't sure whether the Master was going to beat him or speak. Thankfully for Jack it was the latter, however the Master's words were not exactly comforting. "I'll be back" he grunted before releasing Jack from his grip, allowing the younger man to fall to the floor as he walked out, straightening his suit jacket wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Then, almost as calmly as he had entered the Master left, closing the vault door behind him. Jack finally allowed himself to breathe as he too wiped the sweat beads from his forehead. There was some shouting from above him, this time he could hear Milly's voice to, Jack was unable to make out full sentences but got the general drift of the convocation.
"What the Fu…"
"I just couldn't do…"
"What did he do to…?"
"Nothing it's just…"
"Then why did… you said you…"
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorr…"
"Tuff shi…" a loud thud. A girl screaming. A door opens. Footsteps everywhere. Silence. The lid of the cell opens. "Back to business"
