(Set in the episode Utopia with the 10th Doctor)

Words: 1745

When fear consumes someone, it feasts and gorges itself. Rips into the flesh with claw and fang, and creates a wretched, bloody mess.

The Master grabbed (Y/n)'s wrist with a cruel grasp, shoving and pulling at her limbs as he screamed in rage. Her fingers curled around his as she tried to yank herself free, tears streaming down her face and sobs wracking her body. Fear and adrenaline coursed through her veins, but it wasn't enough to protect her.

All she knew as the Master grabbed her other wrist and brutally yanked her away from the safety of the TARDIS- was that she was terrified. He practically threw her into a desk, several sickening cracks filling the room before her head slammed into the floor with a nauseating snap.

Holding her head, she scrambled to get away from him, trembling as another whimper left her body. Instinctively, her shaking hand reached down and grasped her watch before clasping it to her chest with both hands, right above her single, beating heart.

"Why would you want to stay so weak?" The Master howled with rage, causing her to back herself up against a desk, cornered. "Look at yourself! You're bleeding all over the floor!"

"Because- I don't- I-" She stuttered and sobbed, face red and beginning to bruise. "I don't want to be a Time Lord. Ever. Please-"

With a roll of his jaw, he reached down with a wrinkled, old hand and gripped her by her hair as he hissed, "Then you're a fool!"

Suddenly, a loud banging at the door stole his attention. Dragging (Y/n)'s atrocious, beaten figure with him in his grip as he turned to look, a snarl left his lips. (Y/n) gasped and shuttered as she recognised the Doctor beating at the door, frantically.

"Professor! Professor! Professor let me in!" He frantically yelled. "Jack get the door open, now!"

"Open the watch!" The Master demanded, throwing (Y/n) onto the ground. "Open it! Open it now!" 

The Doctor began trying to scream over him, just outside the door but seeming so far away.

"Open the watch, now!" Reaching down, the Master grabbed her shoulder only to slam it back into the ground.

Her cry of pain immediately caused the Doctor to begin to panic, and she heard him yelling, "You leave her alone! Professor, please! Leave her alone! We can talk about this-"

(Y/n) didn't get to listen to the rest of his plead, before she found herself weakly trying to fight the Master for the watch that contained all she was as a Time Lord. Everything that she never wanted to be.

"Please!" She wailed desperately, kicking her feet around and even attempting to bite him. "I don't want to change! I don't want to be a Time Lord!" His hands were rough as he grabbed her by the arms, squeezing and causing her to whimper and her bottom lip to shake in fear and pain.

"She's so young! Don't do this to her! Professor!" The Doctor bellowed out to the Master, panicking as he tried to open the door. "Jack! Jack, hurry!"

The sound of Martha's scream distracted (Y/n), and just one glance away caused her to be slapped to the ground. A harsh hit to the head sent her reeling even worse than before, halting her sobs even as her tears continued to flow. Without a second thought, the Master gripped her watch in his hand. He cradled it gently, bringing it up to his face, victory written on every inch of his face. All (Y/n) could do was tremble and writhe on the ground as she watched.
