The Skin Thief (10th Doctor x OC)

Chapter 6

The Doctor watched as Willow bounded up to the TARDIS with desire in her step.

"Finally!" She exclaimed, all too satisfied. She whirled around with her arms crossed. "Well, what are you waiting for? Open it!"

The Doctor narrowed his eyes. "You aren't Willow," he said.

"What?" she scoffed. "Of course I am, look at me!"

"No, you're not," he snapped back. "Willow wouldn't be so demanding. Willow wouldn't order chocolate ice cream over root beer floats. Willow wouldn't snog me like that... hell, Willow wouldn't snog me at all!"

The Doctor frowned at this before replacing it with a snarl. Willow's arms dropped to her sides with annoyance. "Whatever, it's not like I need to carry the act anymore. So yes, you clever man, you got me," she spat before grinning evilly. "It'll be a good inheritance though, won't it?"

The Doctor's eyebrows furrowed. "What?"

The impostor reached out and grasped the sides of the Doctor's face. He attempted to lose her grasp, but his efforts did nothing. Her eyes widened with excitement and hunger while the Doctor's head lolled to the side as his energy was drained.

"Stop!" A voice screamed.

Impostor Willow whirled around and dropped the Doctor to the ground. He was unconscious.

Willow's POV

Willow and Ruby bounded over to the scene before meeting the impostor's eyes.

"Oh my god," Willow gasped with repulsion and looked her up and down. "It looks exactly like me!"

The Impostor smirked and sprinted in the direction her and Ruby had come from until she was out of sight.

"It's going back to the ship," Willow growled over her shoulder as she rushed to the Doctor's side. She gingerly touched the side of his face before checking his pulse.

"He's still breathing," she examined. Willow looked up at Ruby before standing. "Watch over him. Make sure he's alright."

"Where are you going?" Ruby asked, but the look on her face showed that she already knew.

"To stop that thing," she replied, jamming a thumb over her shoulder in the direction the fraud went.

Ruby glanced down at the unconscious Doctor. "Why though? I mean, what's so special about him?"

Willow shook her head in desperation. "I-I'll tell you later-" she backed up- "But if that thing becomes him and can access his mind, the whole world could be in danger."

She broke out into a run, shoving pedestrians aside and weaving in between cars. Her eyes were narrowed and set for her destination. There was no stopping her from destroying that thing and getting her Doctor back.

Willow went to the face of the space ship with snarl splayed on her face.

The ship was wide open, almost begging for her to run in.

It's a trap, Willow figured, but she didn't care. She stormed her way inside.

"Well, well, well," her stolen voice purred. The Impostor was perched on a chair with her legs crossed. "Look what the cat dragged in. You know, this wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would have been. Only took three of your kind's form to reach the Doctor."
