Chapter 7- Ghost of Gallifrey
The eyes looked at me, before moving away. I stood up, confused of what was happening. I looked around my room, and saw many people, standing around, looking at me with fogged over eyes. They had different expressions on their faces. None of their faces were anything remotely happy though. They were faces of horror, insanity and sadness. They moved around, and I could hear them talking. I walked out my door and looked down the TARDIS hall. Many more people wandered about the halls. I walked down the halls, trying to listen in to their conversations. I couldn't make out what they were saying. The strange thing to me was that I couldn't hear anything other than the mumbling of the people. I arrived in the Console room, looking at the Doctor. There were many more people in the Console room. They were looking at the Doctor and the console with their unfocused eyes. The Doctor looked up at me and began to speak. It was like my ears were plugged. I couldn't hear anything. I touched my ears and was rewarded with a pain that was so bad it made me fall to the ground. The Doctor rushed over to me. He grabbed my ears, and all I could feel was pain. I begged him to stop but it seemed like my mouth was glued shut. I writhed in his arms but he held my ears tightly. I couldn't open my eyes, the pain was so unbearable. I could feel myself slipping into the back. I screamed in my head for him to stop, and then slipped into the darkness.
When I awoke, my head was obviously cradled gently in someone's lap, and my hair was being soothingly stroked. "Shh," I heard a deep voice that I instantly recognized as the Doctor's say in a hushed tone. "Can you hear me now? You were attacking yourself, saying that you saw people and couldn't hear anything. Please just tell me you're all right. I can't lose you both. I know it's a lot to take in, but I can help you in any way you need." I nodded my vision still blurry. I had no memory of what he spoke of, but it was best to let him believe I did.
"Where's Cassie?" I muttered, my voice breaking and causing me to cough. The Doctor held me closer until I got my breath back and began speaking. "Cassidy is in the infirmary. You both freaked out on me at the same time. She was just more violent than you were towards me."
"Cassie tried to hurt you?" I asked slowly, unable to picture her hurting our newly found father. The Doctor nodded, pulling his sleeve back to reveal scratches that went up his arms. I gasped, "Cassie did that?!" He nodded, "She hurt herself worse. I think she may have head trauma. She needs to be under lock-and-key until I know she's okay." I nodded slightly and yawned. The Doctor smiled and watched me and just as I was falling into the peaceful darkness of sleep, we both heard a scream, as all the lights shut off.
The Doctor shot up and looked around him. "Oh, look at you," a voice said from the darkness. "Still trying to protect your girls, even though they're too far gone." I suddenly realized who the voice belonged to. "DOCTOR!" I yelled. Then, my arms were yanked backwards and I was pulled across the floor. I let out a cry of pain, and a large hand covered my mouth. I started thrashing and kicking, trying to make as much noise as possible. "EMILY!" I heard the Doctor yell, realizing I was gone. I heard a soft chuckle behind me, from the person who was dragging me. My hands were abruptly tied together and I was pulled down a hall, the hand still covering my mouth. A door softly opened and I was shoved inside. The door closed and a light flickered on, as I looked into the eyes of my captor.
Davis stared at me, wide eyes practically all black from what he thought to be excitement. I screamed again, as he tied a bandana around my head forcefully, efficiently stopping the sound of my scream. I looked at him, positive there was fear in my eyes. He chuckled evilly. "Now," he said, with a sly grin on his face, "How about I go get that darling sister of yours?" I screamed into the bandana, and he just laughed. "Getting back here was oh so easy. You really should work on that, if you ever get away. Which you won't." I looked down at my feet, which were tied to a chair, along with my arms, trying to decipher a way out of the mess I had gotten myself into. He chuckled yet again, and picked my chin up, forcing me to look at him. I glared at him, with all the hatred I could have put into my glare. I muttered into the bandana, "I hate you."
The Master chuckled evilly and kept staring at me. He came closer and I shivered at the proximity. "Shh, sweet niece. Mummy and daddy wouldn't want you talking like that." He sneered. I glared back at him, and he smiled. I could just go get that darling twin of yours..." I shook my head rapidly and yelled into the bandana. He smiled. "You and your Doctor are so much alike. Both of you so willing to sacrifice and do anything for those you love. But," he smiled, "Haven't you realized that everyone you love just leaves you?" I growled and he just laughed, turning around and walking back into the darkness.
