Chapter 6- Emily

As soon as the bread and water were thrust into my cell, the hunger and thirst took over. I attacked the food and quickly gulped down half of the water, my stomach relishing the taste and feel of no longer being starving or thirsty.

After that, I noticed him staring at me, gun tight in his hand. My body betrayed me and flinched. He grinned, at my fear. I couldn't help but remember being shot. My side still ached from the encounter without the Doctor here to treat the wound.

The Master chuckled and paced I front of my, and what I assumed to be, Cassie's cell. Cassie! I started pounding on the wall. "Cassie!" I screamed, needing to know I wasn't alone here. I knew the Master had thrown the Doctor out of the TARDIS. I could only hope that he was okay. I knew we were near Earth, the Doctor had us in orbit around the planet I grown up on before the Master had taken over the TARDIS. "Cassie!" I yelled again. "Emily!" I heard faintly yelled back. I heard the Master grumble and unlock my cell, walking in. "Cassie!" I yelled, one last time. "You aren't being a good girl now, are you?" He said, pointing his gun at me. I screamed again, at how close the gun was to me. I shivered back to my corner and put my head between my knees, trying to breathe.

The Master picked my chin up harshly. "Now how about you and your mongrel of a sibling behave yourselves? Or else I could just tell the Daleks where your precious Daddy is, now couldn't I?" He said, a sickening grin on his face. "No!" I spit on his face as I yelled. The next thing I knew, my ears were ringing and my cheek was stinging from the hardest slap I had ever felt.

Matthew smirked at my shock and exited. I quickly finished the rest of my bread and drank almost all my water. Don't waste it, I thought, knowing I would probably want more later. I tapped softly on the metal divider. "Cassie? Are you okay?" I whispered fiercely. "Yeah, what about you?" I heard from the other side. "Doing alright," I told her. Suddenly, the door slammed open, making me jump. I scurried into the corner farthest from the door. "Did I hear…? TALKING?!" Matthew spat. He looked to me. "Ye-yeah," I heard from Cassie's cell. Matthew swiveled to stare at her. He stalked into her cell. I could hear quiet talking, then a loud thud, like a body hitting the wall. Then, my cell was open and Cassie was motioning for me to leave. "HURRY!" she hissed. "WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!" I jumped up and started sprinting out the door. We ran an arrived in the console room almost automatically. "Thank you, TARDIS," I whispered. Cassie began fumbling through a drawer in the console. "AHHAH!" she yelled, holding out a small phone. I snatched it out of her hands and went through the contacts until I found the one that read "Doctor". I clicked on the number, hoping, praying, he would answer. "Six rings," I said. "You have to pick up by six rings." RING! Please pick up. RING! Please Doctor! RING! We need you, Doctor. RING! Please, we don't have much time! RING! Please... RING!

"Hello?" I heard a stressed, deep voice, which I quickly identified as the Doctor's answer. "Dad!" I answered, just happy he was alive and well. "Emily? You're ok? What about Cassie? Where are you?" I could hear the happiness grow in his voice. "Where's the Master? I need you to get down here as soon as possible. I'm in London. 2012, April the 23rd," he said talking really fast.

I gave Cassie the date and she keyed the TARDIS in. I heard the TARDIS engines go, as a hand wrapped around my mouth and pulled me into the darkness of unexplored pass ways and corridors of the TARDIS.

I tried to scream but it was muffled by the hand that covered my mouth. "EMILY!" I heard the Doctor yell. Cassie looked up, and then took off running towards me. I shook my head, motioning towards the console.

She looked at me for a moment, before rushing back to the console and flipping switches and pressing buttons. We turned a corner and I was face to face with Matthew. "Hello again," he said. I glared at him. "Oh don't look at me like that," he chuckled. Chucking didn't suit him. "The Doctor is coming," I said, venom in my voice, "and he's going to give you one bloody hell of a time."

The Master laughed in my face pushed me into a wall. I winced, as my head hit cold stone. "The Doctor will never find you. Ever. I think I'll just throw your darling twin out into the void. And just keep you locked in here, slowly going insane."

He traced my chin and I raised my leg up and kicked him in the stomach. "Let's not do that. Behave yourself. That kind of behavior won't get you far." He grinned and took a metal cuff and pulled a chain down from the black pit of nothing above me, hooking it on my arm, with lots of resistance from me.

"Hey now," he said, the evil grin never leaving his face, "The more you struggle, the tighter these are going to be on you, darling niece." My eyes widened as he placed 3 more on my right wrist and ankles. Then it dawned on me. He called me his niece. As in he is my...uncle. Making my mother or father his sibling.

"Niece?!" I asked, my eyes widening. He grinned and pushed my shoulder length blonde hair out of my face. "Yes. And you look just like your mother don't you?" He tapped my noise, "I think she always got the best of our father's genes. But I got mother's brains. You of course, are just like that father of yours." He spat at me. I growled softly, "You have no room to talk about my father." He smiled, "But oh, dear niece, I do. I could tell you stories about him that would make your blood run cold."

I shivered and turned away from him, and suddenly I was on the ground, face in the floor. The chains still attached, but ripped from the ceiling. Suddenly everything was flying everywhere. There was a large amount of bumping...Oh! The TARDIS! "It's CRASHING!" I yelled. I ran past Matthew, who was passed out unconscious on the floor. I ran to the console room. Cassie was still working, trying to get the TARDIS back to the Doctor, our dad.

I sat down in the pilot's chair and pulled a bobby pin out of my hair. I quickly stuck it into the locks, unlocking them as fast as I could. Then, I went to the console and looked at the monitor. "Cassie!" I yelled, realizing we were going to crash into London if we didn't land the TARDIS perfectly. I pulled the zig-zag plotter and hit one of the stabilizers so we were at least not being thrown around.

"Cassie! Pull that lever and then push this up and down!" She nodded, and I kept my eyes focused on the screen. Seconds later, I heard the sound that meant we had landed.

I sighed, a breath of relief and glanced over at Cassie. She looked back at me, grinning. "We've got to hurry. Matthew- The Master- could wake up any second."

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the TARDIS door handle turn. I stood, praying it was the Doctor. The door opened and the Doctor entered. His eyes were slightly bloodshot and his face was unshaven. He looked so happy to see us. He rushed up to us, engulfing us in a hug that made us gasp for breath. "Hahaha, look at this. The whole family, all together again," Matthew's voice sneered. The Doctor spun to face him. "The lot of you, you're all SO PERSISTENT. Can't you just accept it? I'm always going to win, and you…you will always lose."

The Doctor looked at him, an arm still wrapped protectively around both of us. "It doesn't have to be this way. We're the only four left. Just stop fighting us and join your family again. Isn't that what she would want?" He asked, and I knew he meant our mother, "If not, why hurt them? They were babies when it happened. It's me you should blame. Don't hurt them. They're innocent in all of this."

We both looked up as him sadly, as we were both still shaking. The Master looked at each of us for a second and then started laughing. "And why would I do that? This...," he said, an evil grin still plastered on to his face, "is oh so much fun!" He kept laughing and the Doctor growled softly, and we could all but tell he was almost all out of ideas.

I looked at Cassie, and she looked back at me. She had an apologetic look on her face, but I couldn't figure out what it was she was sorry for. She sighed and looked at the Master. "My father and sister here will do anything for peace, but not so much me," she said. She ducked her hand into her pocket and pulled out a shot gun, locked and loaded. She pointed it at the Master.

The gun went off, making me jump. Matthew started, looking alarmed. He grabbed his side, where blood was already seeping through his shirt. He began to fall and the Doctor ran to catch him. "Nonono," the Doctor muttered, "Don't die!"I stood, unsure of what to do. Stand back and wait for him to die, or comfort the man who shot me, as he died. I stood, watching Matthew's chest. There was blood, so much blood. Even as much as I hated the Master, he was in the body of my friend and I couldn't just sit back and watch him die. I stepped up next to the Doctor. I gingerly put Matthews head in my lap, and started stroking his hair. His breathing had already become shallower. "C'mon Master, you know what your body wants to do. Just let it happen," the Doctor whispered furiously. Matthew grinned evilly, "Now whe-ack!" he said grabbing his chest. He tried to get his breath back. "Where's the fun in that?" he said slowly, stretching them out. "You are REALLY gonna do this AGAIN?" the Doctor yelled. "C'mon, PLEASE, just REGENERATE!" Matthew smiled, took a deep breath, and then let his head roll to the side.

Suddenly a bright golden light started seeping through the Master's hands. The Doctor's eyes widened as he looked at us. "Back, back, back!" He yelled, grabbing my arm and pulling me back into a corridor where we could still see the Master, but far enough back he couldn't hurt us. I knew he was regenerating, but me nor Cassie had ever seen a Time Lord regenerate.

I watched in awe as golden light came through his hands and face, healing and changing. When the golden light stopped, and the Master stood up, it was a familiar face to me and Cassie. The Doctor held us both tightly, knowing things we didn't. He whispered slowly, "During the first twenty-four hours in a new body, you can't die. At all. You just heal yourself and keep going." We both nodded, still awestruck staring at The Master. Cassie, unable to hold back slowly asked, "Davis, is that you?"

The Master chuckled, which still did not suit him. "This is my new body, young one. Ooh, new voice. Weird," he said, still glaring at us. He walked towards us and The Doctor held us tighter to him. The Master chuckled again. "Look at the little family. So...adorable," He said with an evil tone in his voice.

I could tell I was shaking. This was sick, the Master becoming people who we trusted. Davis stared at me with an evil grin. "I have to stop doing that," I told myself, "he isn't Davis anymore. He is the Master." I saw a slight bit of movement beside me. Again, the gun was in Cassie's hands, pointed at the Master. I could feel the Doctor tense beside me. "Out. Now." I heard Cassie growl, steadying her hand. I could tell just by looking at her she couldn't shoot. She was too close to Davis. It was too soon. We had gotten time to cope with the Master in Matthew's body. The Master being in Davis's body had to be tough for her. "Geez," I thought. "Not tough enough for her to NOT be pointing a gun at him. Cassie cocked the gun, taking a step closer to the Master. "Out. Jump. Now." the words were hash as she spit them at the Master. He took a few steps towards the door before turning towards us. "I think we all realize, this won't be the last time we meet," he said quietly, the acid in his voice tangible. And with that, he hopped out of the flying TARDIS's doors.

As he flew through the open doors the Doctor ran to them. "No!" He screamed and then looked at Cassie. "Stop that! There are only four of us left. We can all change, and you of all people should know that, Cassidy." Cassie looked down, but I could tell she wasn't sorry for her actions.

The Doctor stalked towards her and grabbed the gun. "I don't want to see this in your hand. Ever. If you could remember the war, you'd be disgusted at the sight of a gun." Cassie actually looked ashamed for a minute, before picking her chin up.

"I'm glad I don't remember it, but I do remember seeing my own mother shot down. I think that's enough to scar a child for life." With that, she stomped back to her room. The Doctor sat down in the pilots chair and put his head in his hands, sighing.

"Doctor?" I said, quietly, stepping towards him. He looked up at me, with sadness in his eyes. "I should've known your mother would have gotten you two out. But now it's too late. You've been raised to be violent. Humans, the biggest monsters of them all." He sighed, and put his head back in his hands sadly.

I stood, unaware of what to do. I looked at my father who was obviously stressed, then at my newfound twin's back disappearing into her room. I felt extremely unsure of who to comfort. I walked over to the TARDIS doors and closed them quietly. I slowly began picking up, working my way around the console room. I kept away from the Doctor and the hall with Cassie and I's room on it. I picked up the hammers with a small smile, and hung it on a hook. I looked up at the Doctor and saw he was staring at me. Not in a creepy way, but a sad, desolate way. I looked down, and went back to picking everything up and putting it exactly where it went.

I hummed softly as I went, quietly placing everything in a neater position. I hung the Doctor's brown coat on the railing neatly, easily within arm's reach when running out of the TARDIS doors. I then paced around, not wanting to disturb either the Doctor or Cassie.

I could feel the TARDIS trying to do the same as well, as much as she wanted one of the three Time Lords to pilot her somewhere. The Doctor would look up at me sometimes, and I thought I could see a slight smile. But then, it quickly disappeared.

I leaned against the doors of the TARDIS, sitting, with my legs pulled up against my chest. I yawned softly, as the Doctor looked at me. I quickly closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. I heard his footsteps and then felt arms underneath me, picking me up. I felt myself being laid down on a bed and then the arms disappeared, the sound of someone walking replacing them. I heard what I assumed to be a chair creek and then the Doctor's voice.

"I was so alone," he said softly, and I could hear the sadness and the pain in his voice alone. "And then I found the two of you. My daughters. I never thought I would see either of you, ever again. I said that final goodbye when you were only two. You were a daddy's girl, while your sister was the one crawling around your mother's legs constantly." I heard him chuckle at the memory. "It never even crossed my mind that you were alive. It should have. And I'm scared that the part of me that could have given both of you happy childhoods died along with your mother." He sighed, and I felt a hand move the hair out of my face, behind my ear. "You look just like her," he said, "But Cassidy got her attitude, her spunk. You however, are a little bit too much like me, I'm afraid." I heard him take in a deep breath, as if he were afraid of what he was going to say next. "I met another girl, who was technically my daughter. But she wasn't, um, a traditional Time Lord. She was made from some of my skin. Jenny, her name was. She was too much like me, too." He sighed again, and I could almost feel his pain that was laid out as just a sigh. "That's why you and your sister are so precious to me now. I've lost everyone, Emily. All of my companions leave me, and I suppose, in the end, they break my hearts. But now, I've got you two, and I don't think I could stand it if I lost you." With that, my eyes flashed wide open.

I glanced over to where the Doctor's voice was coming from. He had his head between his hands, and the way his shoulders were moving, it looked like he was crying. I reached my hand out tentatively. My hand rested just inches away from his shoulder when he moved his head, making me jerk back my hand in surprise. "Emily?" he asked, looking up at me.

I quickly jerked my head back down, still pretending to be asleep. I heard the chair being moved back to its original spot and the door closing softly. I sighed softly, yawning. I closed my eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.

When I awoke, it was to screaming. I got up slowly, realizing the only one who could be making the scream was Cassie. I ran quickly to her room and pulled on the door. Locked, I realized with a start, of course. "Cassie!" I screamed, worriedly. She yelled back with a shrinking scream. "Doctor!" I yelled, knowing he could unlock it. I heard a crash and banging from Cassie's room as a response. "Get back!" I yelled and walked away from the door. I ran towards it, and kicked the door in, revealing a more than half-crazed Cassie.

As the door opened, the Doctor charged down the hall. He slammed into the door, closing it. I could still hear Cassie screaming inside. I heard something heavy crash into the door. Then, the screaming faded into sobs. They grew quieter and quieter. Something softly hit the door, and slid down it. I could still hear her crying. I turned to the Doctor, confusion in my eyes. "Why?" I asked. He looked at me sadly, before walking away. My hands balled into fists, anger at everything seeping into me. I ran up to the Doctor, grabbing him by the arm and yanking him around to face me. "Tell me WHY."

The Doctor sighed, and pulled his arm away from me. He turned and started to walk back to the control room. "Doctor!" I said following him in. He sat in the Pilot's chair and buried his face in his hands. "She's lost it. It was too much for her to handle." I felt my heart-hearts, I corrected myself- sink into my chest. "Permanently?" I asked sadly, looking at the Doctor. His head shot up quickly. "I don't know!" He yelled loudly, his voice echoing throughout the room. I flinched at the yelling, and quickly ran back to the room I had been sleeping in. I slammed the door, and jumped onto the bed, burying my face in the pillows.

I felt a tear fall from my eye and onto the pillow, as I remembered fully for the first time in hundreds of years, my life in my home planet, Gallifrey. I thought about the beautiful city, capped off from the rest of the planet by a shiny, almost bubble like, thing. I remembered the sun. I remembered my cot and Cassie's beside mine. I thought of my mother, as the tears increased. Maybe I was a little crazy, too, I thought. I know could see exactly how Cassie lost it so easily. I didn't understand how the Doctor could do it.

A sob escaped from the back of my throat. I screamed into the pillow beside me, unaware of anything besides the pain I felt. The things I thought were bad on Earth and gave me pain as a human could never have prepared me for this. My entire race was dead. And the only four left were insane. That was when my door crashed in and I looked up to see crazed eyes staring over me.
