Doctor Who and the Cabin of Hunger

Episode Three

"See you soon..." Gregor whispered.

"All we can do now is wait. Goodnight." Karin went to sleep.

"I...I'm missing him already..." Gregor is choking up, "I didn't...I didn't tell him the truth..." Gregor curled up on the couch for the night, turning his back from the two.

"...I'm sorry, Gregor, I didn't know how you felt for him..." the Doctor thought, as he went to the bed.

While sleeping, he made some order in his thoughts.

Two died, we're now four. Something is sketchy between Karin and that man, who is he in fact? Is he the owner of the cabin? And also, what in the name of Rassilon happened when they first ate Mariah's flesh? Their faces suddenly...Changed. Yet when I analysed them with the sonic, it says that they are human."

His stomach growled.

"Or maybe hunger is making me hallucinate." he thought, so he went to sleep.

The next day, the Doctor got woken up by whispers once again.

"Доктор...Прокинься, сонна голово..." Weirdly enough, this whisper didn't seem much eerie, it felt more...Sweet and tender.

He woke up, and immediately noticed the smell of the meat cooking.

"Here we go again..." He sighed and went to the kitchen.

He saw Karin eating a slice, barely chewing it.

"Oh god...Already?" Gregor whispered, conflicted. He eventually succumbed to hunger and ate a slice, tears started streaming down his face.

"...I can think straight again. We'll be out of here in no time, no need to ration anything now." Karin seem calmer now.

"...I'm going to lie down on the coach..." Gregor left the kitchen.

The Doctor went to the bedroom. Terrible mistake.

And so, the next day he went to the living room.

"Good mornin-BLOODY HELL!" He jumped back from the shock.

He saw Gregor on the couch, with his legs and left arm chopped off.

"Doc...tor..." Gregor said, weakened by the blood loss.

"Ah, morning Doctor." Karin said, "Have you slept well?"

"What's the meaning of this?" The Time Lord asked, his tone became cold and accusatorial.

"Oh, Gregor can't swim, so, instead of letting him sink outside like a log of wood, I found another way to let him "help" us. I put some of his limbs away, the rest I used for breakfast, care to j-"

"Absolutely not." the Doctor coldly interrupted her.

Karin smiled, leaving the owner and the Doctor with Gregor.

"Hey..." He said, "All I wanted to do was keep everyone alive and together...But I failed. I'm sorry."

"No...I'm sorry, Gregor." the Doctor started shaking, "It was my job to protect everyone, I knew something was sketchy, and I failed. I should have insisted more on stopping Mariah and Anatoly, but instead...I sent them to slaughter."

The owner stayed silent, feeling bad for Gregor.

"Hey, can you cover me with a blanket?" Gregor said, "I've never been this cold...This cabin it chills me to the bones..."

The owner found a blanket and covered Gregor with it.

"Thanks..." He said, "Watch out for that knife, okay?"
