The Time Lady Who Waited

The Satan pit

Violet tightly squeezed her eyes shut, as Jones held her against him. She squeezed them even more when she heard Jefferson shot, which was then followed by the sound of bullets being fired by multiple guns. She had hoped there was a better way to deal with the possessed Ood then shot them, but unfortunately she felt if she was Jefferson and his men she would have done the same.

''Doctor? Doctor, can you hear me? Doctor, Ida, are you there?'' Rose's shouting was the thing that brought Violet out of her thoughts.  She ran over to where Rose was stood by the Comm, Jones followed behind.

She waited with Rose for a reply, but at that moment all they heard was silence. However, not one of the three people surrounding the Comm where negative people, each one of them believed that the Doctor was ok and that he'd find a way back, like he always did.

''Open door 25.'' At the sound of the computer opening the door everyone in the room turned towards it, Jefferson and his men pointing guns, just in case more Ood where coming.

''It's me! But they're coming,'' Relief spread across everyone's faces, Danny was ok. Although hearing there were Ood on their way was a cause for just slight concern.

''It's the Ood. They've gone mad,'' Danny continued as the computer closed the door behind him.

''How many of them?'' Jefferson asked.

''All of them! All fifty!'' Danny exclaimed.

''Fifty, why do you need so many, do you have one each for tying your shoe laces or something,'' Jones spat out annoyed that one the Ood were still possessed and two there was no way they could stop fifty of them.

''Danny, out of the way. Out of the way!'' Jefferson ordered, ignoring Jones's comment.

''But they're armed! It's the interface device. I don't know how, but they're using it as a weapon,'' Danny explained trying to reason with the man, but he didn't listen. Jefferson shoved Danny out of the way before then opening door 25.

Violet was busy trying to see if she could get the Doctors comm to work via the computer she was currently typing at. So she had no idea what had occurred at door 25 until she heard the scream of a women. Turing around she saw one of Jefferson's people fall to the ground as a Ood held its orb to her head. She knew she shouldn't have let the small smile grow on her face, but id the Ood were using their communicators as weapons it meant they had to defiantly have had a better purpose in life than being salves/ servants to people.

''Everyone together. Rose? What about Ida and the Doctor? Any word?'' Violet heard Zach ask over the Comm in Rose's hand.

''I can't get a reply. Just nothing, Violets trying,'' Rose replied.

''Wait I think I've got it Rose switch back to the Doctor,'' Violet said hoping she'd managed to fix the connection.

''I'm fine. Still here, thanks to Violet,'' The Doctor replied and Violet didn't have to see his face to know he had a small smile on his face.

''Your a geniuses,'' Rose exclaimed pulling Violet into a bone crushing hug.

''Well I do try,'' Violet breathed out as she felt Rose crush her lungs.

''Whoa. Careful! Being clever can be a dangerous occupation Violet. Anyway, it's both of us. Me and Ida. Hello. But the seal opened up. It's gone. All we've got left is this chasm,'' The Doctor explained, as Rose, Jones, Violet and Danny crowded around the one Comm.

''How deep is it?'' Zach asked.

''Can't tell. It looks like it goes down forever,'' The Doctor replied.
