Please Help Me (a Doctor Who fanfic)

Chapter 6

AVEALA'S *POV*
  "Aveala, I'm coming to get you I promise." Then he left the video chat.

"For your sake girl I hope he comes back." The men are trying to get the camera working again. Tears silently roll down my bruised cheeks from where the man in the mask hit me.

"Shit!" The man in the mask kicks the camera over and it shatters. "Untie the girl and bring her to my office."

"Your little friend shouldn't have done that. I'm going to make you pay now." The masked man took off his mask and I was not expecting to see what I did. I was expecting a scary man that looked like he could kill anyone. Instead what I saw was a face with strong facial features but not to strong. His face had a gentle and loving look to it, but his eyes told another story.

I saw in his eyes what I saw in the Doctor's. Loneliness, I saw a man who was lost in what he has done. He was scared, scared of himself. He was fearless when it came to what could happen to him. But he was terrified of what he could do. I could see that. I could see a man who has lost his whole life. Someone who has loved but has it taken away from him. Someone who tries to do anything he can to take his mind off of what he did. To forget his pain. Someone who could take anything out for the ones he loves. I see a man who will be loved till the end of time but will lose every love he ever has. A man who is surrounded by people who love him but he will always feel alone.

I snap back into reality when I realize that masked man is striking my face with his surprisingly soft fingers. His touch is gentle as if he doesn't want to hurt me. But that is gone in an instant. He rips the tape off of my mouth without even stopping to think if it hurt me.

He grabbed my face in his hands and made me look towards him. He grabs my face with force to much force for my already hurt face. He presses his lips onto mine. I try to pull out of the kiss but his grip won't let me.

"Back away from her! Now!" I hear that stupid voice that I have been longing to hear. I grin against masked man's lips at the sound of his voice before he yanks him off of me. The Doctor throws him on the ground.

"Aveala? Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" And before I could answer he looked at my face. I saw an expression of hurt and anger at the same time. He looked like he blamed himself for what had happened to me. "Doctor, it's not your fault. Don't you think for one second that this was your fault! Because you know what it wasn't your fault it was mine, I chose to stay back at the shop. Not you. It's not your fault." His face turned from mad to hurt in an instant. "Yes it was my fault. I should've offered to stay with you." I shook my head. "No, Doctor if you would have they would've taken Rose. I wouldn't be okay knowing I was the reason for that."

"Look at you. They hit you. They hit your pretty little face." Just then mask man gets up. He throws a punch at the Doctor but he quickly dodges it. The Doctor knocks him off of his feet and pins him to the ground. "Who are you? I demand to know!" The man starts chuckling and it's not a nice one. It was an evil laugh. It made me feel like a three year old afraid of the dark again. I wanted to go run to my mothers arms to feel safe again. But instead I reached out and grabbed the Doctor's hand. He tightened his grip on my hand when the man stopped chucking. "Well Doctor, I think you would call me the Master."

The Doctor looked scared. Almost as if I had just told him that the world was coming to an end. That there would be no more. "What? How? How did you escape the time war?" The master as I now know him only shakes his head. "Oh Doctor dear, I didn't escape, I left. In the middle of the fight."

"Which is more than I can say for you Doctor. Why didn't you run? Why didn't you leave the fight behind?" He looked at me with his stone cold eyes. "You know I couldn't just do that. I had to help." The master tapping his finger on the floor. *tap, tap, tap, tap* "Oh so you consider helping wiping out your whole race? Women, children. Everyone? That's how you help people?" The Doctor taken aback by his words pulled me by my arm very roughly I might add, out the door. "Doctor, slow down your hurting me. Doctor stop." He kept going. We passed the guards who then tried to shoot at us.

I collapsed to the floor in great pain. I have never felt anything this excruciatingly painful. This is it, this is how I'm going to die. One of them had shot me. I was shot. "Aveala? Can you hear me? My god you shot her!" I was out.

Doctor'S *POV*
One of those bastards shot her. They shot Aveala. They were only supposed to scare us. "Can you hear me? Please come back to me." The shot was on the side of her stomach. It looks like it missed all of her major organs. I picked her up careful not to hurt her. I started running as fast as my feet would take me.

"Rose! Rose open the TARDIS. I don't have time to open the door. Do it now!" The door swung open and I pushed past Rose. "Doctor what's going o- oh my god! Is she okay? Is she bleeding?" "Rose just shut up. Shut up would you? I can't think with you babbling."

I got her to the infirmary and laid her on the bed. I checked her heartbeats and they were slow but they were there. I hooked her up to the machine and gave her an iv of blood to keep her stable. Rose came in a couple of minutes later. "Is she going to be okay Doctor?" "Yes Rose she will be fine I just need to get the bullet out." I go back to work and Rose is silent for a minute. "Doctor?" "Yes Rose." "Whose the master?"
