Summary: The Doctor explains to Martha about the Weeping Angels.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
“They might look angelic, but they’re not,” the Doctor told Martha. “Weeping Angels are among the most dangerous predators in the universe. As long as you keep your eyes on them, they’re just harmless stone statues, but the moment you look away, or even blink…” He shook his head. “That’s all it takes. They’re fast and they’re…”
“What? Deadly?”
“Well, no, not exactly, not in the way you mean. They won’t kill you; they just zap you into the past and let you live to death.”
“Why?”
“They feed on temporal energy from the years their victims would have lived.”
