POV 3rd person

Nether king Rain sat on his throne, staring at the Doctor and Daryll, "You. Doctor, you have the air of someone intelligent, Take him to the lab, with my pet," he turned to Daryll, "This one can become a netherkin, we have no need of bandits," he ordered. 

"I will take the doctor to our pet, my love," Abigail said. "Naeus take this one to become Netherkin," She ordered walking to the Doctor, "now will you walk or must I carry you,"

the timelord turned to Daryll, "I will find a way to get us out, Daryll I promise you," he said. and Abigail pushed him, "No, I will not help you if you hurt him," 

Daryll stood silent as Naeus moved him away, his eyes never leaving Rain's eyes. 

Abigail pushed the Doctor, "If you hurt him then you've made..."

Abigail lightly slapped him in the back of the head, "Now, now little man, this is not your kingdom, you are nothing here, you would do wisely to listen to listen to me, or ask our pet," 

"Your pet? well if you two are any indication, then I don't think your pet is going to be any fun," the Doctor commented. 

Abigail laughed, "You are funny little man, hope you stay that way, otherwise I'll have to find another to make you fun," 

the Doctor put his hands in his pockets, "your idea of fun is probably very, very wrong," 

she laughed again, "Just you wait you'll see soon enough," she pushed a door open, showing off a lab, "PET!" Abigail snapped. 

a blue-haired woman, her clothes ripped, showing off too much skin, most of which were bruised, her hair a mess, eyes were dull and lifeless, cuts along her arm, a scar going above her right arm, the remains of a lab coat if you call it that was soaked with blood, and something else the Doctor couldn't name, she had the aura of a crushed soul, "Yes mistress?" she mumbled out, in fear. 

"Show this dog the rule of the nether, and my and Rain will be down soon, you know what that means," Abigail said with a wink. 

the blue-haired woman flinched, "Yes mistress," she mumbled again. 

the Doctor looked between the two, "she is no Pet! that is a human being, YOU DO NOT..." the Doctor's anger was thrown aside when Abigail knocked him across the room.

"If you are not careful, then I will ensure your pain," as the Doctor stood Abigail turned to the woman. "Now Pet I'll be back, I hope your next weapon works how Rain wants it too," 

Abigail left the room, the Doctor stood up and brushed himself down, he looked at the woman, "Hello, I'm the Doctor," he said holding his hand out. 

the woman looked down at her workbench, "Not here, here you are nothing more than a slave," she mumbled. 

the Doctor walked over. the woman was crafting some kind of gun. the Doctor named almost every part of it in his head, he could name 6 ways to improve on the design, didn't say anything about the weapon his attention was on the woman, he could see the intelligence, in her eyes, but pain and hurt seemed to cloud them. "Do you have a name?" he asked. 

the woman shook her head, "No, not now, now I am just pet," 

The Doctor picked up a screwdriver, "Why are you helping them? with all this stuff it..."

she turned to him, "If I am made useless if there thought I was no longer needed here, then...then I know what awaits me, and will await you unless you help," She snapped. 

"Only once you tell me your name," the Doctor said. crossing his arms. 

"Azura," the woman mumbled.
