Life as a timelord's daughter (Doctor Who fanfiction)

Chapter 7

--------------- Chapter Seven-------------

Flashing lights, a hazy figure, and a pounding headache. These were the things that greeted me when I finally regained consciousness. For a moment I couldn’t process what was going on, and then I remembered. With a jolt I tried to sit up but found I was restrained by cuffs, and strapped to an upright, wide, metal object almost like a technological stretcher.

The image before me began to make sense and I clenched my teeth as I saw the figure standing over me was a smugly smiling Madame Kovarian.

“Did you have a nice sleep Katelyn?” she asked, almost sounding sincere, but I could tell she was “mocking me.

“Yes thanks.” I snapped, nostrils flaring. “Now would you be kind enough to let me go?”

Kovarian laughed. “Oh no, my dear. We still have many things planned for you yet.”

I felt shivers run down my back as she said that, remembering that this was the woman who had made my mother’s life hell. Oh yeah, I remembered, my mum.

“Is mum here?” I asked Kovarian.

“Oh no. I wouldn’t risk that.” She replied in a sickening tone. “Your mother is being reminded of her duty to the Silence, back at the base where I captured you.”

I creased my brow. “What? Where are we then?”

“On our way to one of the Silence’s interplanetary bases.”

“We’re in space!?” I exclaimed, looking around for confirmation. “You’re kidding right, we’re not in a space ship?”

“Oh but we are.” Kovarian answered. “And we’re going somewhere where the Doctor will never, ever find you.”

“Hmm.” I was hardly affected by this comment and managed a laugh. “You said the same thing about Demon’s run.”

Kovarian scowled and turned away.

“Enjoy the trip, time lord.” She said coldly, before leaving the room.

The moment she was gone I let my head fall back onto the head of the board I was strapped onto.

All the pieces of information I’d just learnt spun through my mind. So the Silence being in the 1950’s was a trap, I was now on a spaceship heading who-knows-where, and mum was still on Earth, in the same place we’d just left.

A plan began the processes of forming. If I could somehow escape, and find some sort of system that was connected to the other Silence bases, I could make sure mum was alright. I knew that there had to be some form of Silence control unit on board, because Madame Kovarian was the leader of the Silence and literally was in control of everything Silence related.

Maybe I could get a message to the Doctor too, who knows.

I pulled on my arm restraints, firmly but also specifically, trying to focus my effort on the weakest part of the bonds. After many minutes had passed, I managed to break free. I had bruises forming on my wrists and a scrape on one arm but other than that I was fine; I was free! I smirked at the dark, empty room. Kovarian should never have left me alone.

I quietly slid open the door on the other side of the room and slipped through. Glancing around I originally edged down the dark hallway I was now in, and then gave up and just ran.

Soon I heard footsteps and ducked around a corner just in time. It was a Silent, alongside two human soldiers.

“So where are we going?” one asked the other; the Silent was silent (I know right, funny).
