The Time Family

Mideval Torment

Rose's POV:

The Doctor has been gone for three days, and I haven't stepped foot from the TARDIS. Jenny and Kazran are both getting very antsy for his return, both claiming that it shouldn't be taking so long.

"Mum?" I heard Kazran say behind me. I turned around to face him. I got down on my knees so I could be eye to eye with him.

"What's wrong, Kaz?" I asked him, sensing the worry radiating off of him. He came up to me and hugged me.

"I have the most horrible feeling that dad's in trouble. I've had it since the moment he and Jack left." I moved him away from me so I could look him in the eye.

"Kazran, go with Jenny. She'll be waiting for you in the library. Jenny! I said in my mind as Kazran left. Yes mum? I heard her reply. I'm going out of the house for a while and I need you to keep an eye on your brother for me. Will you do that? I asked her, hoping that she'd say yes. Of course I will! Where do I need to meet him? Oh thank the TARDIS she said yes! He'll be in the library. I said, getting ready to go. Bye kids, I'll be back. I said as I stepped out of the TARDIS doors. I closed the door behind me and locked it, pitting the key behind the built-in phone. I closed the phone compartment and turned around to look. There was a big castle, and lots of cheering. I figured it was a coronation of some sorts, or a deceleration. I decided to go see. So, I walked into the crowd to see what was going on. Instead of a coronation, or anything, I saw the Doctor up on a platform. Jack was nowhere to be seen. But the Doctor wasn't on the platform performing anything, but his shirts were off, he was in his trousers which were dirty
By now, and his feet were bare. He was facing me, but he was looking down. His hands were stuck in handcuffs on either side of a metal pole. I heard the crack of a whip, and then I noticed his back. Oh, Doctor. I'm so sorry. I heard him cry out in agony as the whip landed on his back again, breaking the skin and donating blood to the little river systems of the red liquid on his back. The whip landed especially hard, and he nearly screamed. I nearly ran to him to save him, but then we'd both be captured and that wouldn't help him at all. I approached one of the guards behind the crowd as the Doctor's cries rang out again, along with the crack of the whip.

"Excuse me, but what did that man do to deserve this kind of punishment?" I asked the guard, pointing to the Doctor.

"He lied about the Queen, ma'am. Said she was an alien and then when he was ordered to be silent he continued and began to point a strange wand at the Queen. The wise King only saw fit to do this publicly, so that this sort of incident never happens again." The guard replied. I nodded.

"Thank you sir." I said as I left to go to the front of the crowd, less than 5 feet away from the Doctor. The whip hit his back with a loud crack. I heard a strangled scream linger in his throat as he bowed his head even lower and rested it on the metal pole slab.

"Doctor, I'll get you out of this." I said loud enough for him to hear. His head shot sideways and he looked me in the eyes, which were bloodshot and teary.

"Rose. Don't. They'll hurt you please don't. Stay away from this place. Stay safe. Don't get hurt." He quickly rambled, looking more desperate than ever.

"Sorry Doctor, I'm gonna save you. But I can't right now, I'm sorry." I said, tears welling in my eyes for the third time. The whip landed on his back again as his face contorted in sheer agony,and every muscle in his body tensed. I saw tears of pain squeezing out of his closed eyes. Enough. I thought to myself. He's been through enough! I said in my mind, jumping up on the stage and blocking the next hit to him.

"Get off the platform, wench!" The whipper man yelled at me.

"No. Not until you stop hurting this man. Can't you see he's had enough?! He's nearly passed out! He needs medical care. You can make it more painful for him if you want by stopping now and resuming later." I said, praying to every deity ever that my plan would work.

"Rose, please, no. Go home, go back to the TARDIS. He's here. He's the king he can do anything he wants. Go home!" He urgently whispered, fear and compassion for me burnt me like a fire, but I wouldn't let him stop me.

"Only if the king approves." The guard said, bowing towards a balcony.

"The lady is right. Free him from his chains! Tomorrow we resume this torment, to teach a lesson." The man said. I noticed who the man was. He was the Master.
