The Doctor and the Demigods of Rome

Deal

So, how's it going? What do you guys think so far? So, fifth chapter!

Onto the show!

Octavian had despised that last interrogation with the false Roman. Without involving Reyna is his rash decision, he had come to the conclusion on how to get the strange British boy's wife to tell him everything about them. In his mind, it was flawless. And, if she was quick enough, she might just save her daughter at it too.

Octavian hadn't gone down to his room like Reyna possibly suspected. He was storming to the cell where he had been keeping the traitor and the gingers from the box. His sash flew wildly behind him as he walked out of the senate house towards the cells, mildly concerned about the storm.

Bursting the doors open of the cell once inside the building where they were contained, he was surprised by the sight in front of him. The young girl was making some sort of device, constantly checking to see if it made the proper noise, then going back to making it. The older woman was fetching whatever the young girl asked to make whatever she was making.

The surprising part? Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, traitor of Rome, was out of his chains, perfectly frozen in the spot where he was sitting, watching the ginger-haired women. How could this of happened?!

Fuming over this he grabbed the nearest guard by the tunic under their armor. "You. Let. Jason. OUT?!"

Stumbling over himself, quickly doing a salute towards the praetor, the guard stammered "N-n-no, sir."

"Then who did?" Octavian asked, finally catching the attention of the female Doctor.

"Oh, Octavian, the teddy bear murderer!" the Doctor said, standing out and sticking her hand as though to offer a hand shake. "You were a horror story back on Galiffery! Murdering innocent teddy bears, then acclaimed false prophecies. Very terrifying!"

Octavian automatically hated the Doctor, and slapped her across the cheek, surprising both Amy and the Doctor. The Doctor touched her hand to her face, as though that would make it any less real.

"Take the girl," Octavian said, crossing his arms over his chest. The guards, reluctantly, snatched up the Doctor and held her in mid air by the waist. She, of course, began to scream, kick, claw, and occasionally curse, doing anything to make them let her go. Typical teenage girl thing to do, and I need to keep the act up, the Doctor thought.

"Now listen here, you dirty scum," Octavian spat, crouching down in front of Amy, who had scooted by Jason, putting her arm over him like that could protect him. "If you two don't tell me everything I want to know by sunrise tomorrow, I'll have her little girl eaten by the lions. Understood?"

Amy, reluctantly, nodded. He was going to feed the man who had inspired her entire childhood to a pack of lions? She must stop this! But what could she possibly tell him that would change that?

"Tell me why I can't remember an entire two years of my life," Octavian hissed at Amy

The Doctor's eyes widened. The Romans couldn't remember the war! But then why could Jason remember Piper? All those thoughts ran through her head, forcing her to stop struggling.

"She doesn't know anything!" she yelled at her captors. "And if she did, she can't interpret it like I can!"

Octavian snickered, getting up from his crouch to face the small Doctor. "And you, you little runt, know what I'm talking about?"

"Of course I do!" the Doctor half-lied. She actually had a brief understanding of what he was talking about, but it was enough to save the Ponds, and that's all she needed.

"Then do tell me, runt," Octavian growled, spitting in her face. This guy spits a lot, Amy thought.

"Not until my companions are reunited," she said defiantly. The guards took that as a signal to put a dagger under her chin, but she wasn't that easily persuaded.

Octavian thought about that for a second. Will he give in, and let the Doctor have what she wanted? Or, will he just slaughter the for of them - Amy, Rory, Jason, and herself? With every breath, she felt like her hearts got heavier from anticipation of his next move. This wasn't a game of chess, but if you view it correctly, you just have to use the same strategy.

"Deal."

Next chapter should be a fight scene, but if not it will be the chapter after this. Stay safe, beloved readers!
