03: Fate forbids what you pursue [visual | location: Mick's apartment]

Oct 02, 2011 01:26

For Mick, the past week had passed in a blur of activity. Early morning saw him barricading the windows to keep out as much sunlight as possible, and his Extra neighbors had complained greatly to the Extra who kept tabs on everyone in the building. He'd been issued a warning, and informed that two more strikes meant he had to leave ( Read more... )

"You're the one who's been hunting the Extras?"

Martha hadn't been expecting this. She hadn't expected the attacker to reveal himself and she certainly hadn't expected him to be sorry for what he'd done. The figure on the screen - pale and weary and covered in something that seemed to be ice - looked like a patient as well as a threat.

"You're a vampire."

But nothing like the vampires that had terrorised the city in the past.

The words he couldn't say, plucked right from his mind. It's dark in here, blissfully dark and cold, and yet he can't stop sweating. His skin would feel clammy if it were blood temperature - and isn't that a lovely thought, blood.

Blood.

He shuddered, nodding, lips twisting in some strange mix of shame and relief. "I'm a vampire. I haven't-- I--, the hatches aren't working. I didn't mean to hurt them, but the hatches--"

He hadn't meant to hurt them. Did that make it any better? She'd seen the fear - and it had been real fear, even if they weren't quite real - in the eyes of the Extras that she'd treated. But, at the same time, she knew that killing him wasn't the answer. It was never the answer.

The Doctor would have found a way to save him.

"Then we'll find a different way to help you," she vowed, "It's going to be ok."

He didn't know what to say. It all seemed so surreal he was beginning to think this was just another horrifying hallucination; it wasn't what he'd expected, to have so many offer to help him.

"I don't know if you'll h-have a choice. I'm losing control. It's-- it's only a matter of time before I...I--"

"We've got to try."

Her offer was motivated by her friendship with the Doctor and her time on the TARDIS, but it was largely the result of her doctor's instincts. You helped anyone who needed it, you didn't pick and choose. You certainly didn't harm the person who needed your help.

"Is there anything you can tell me? Anything that might help?"

"Nothing I haven't already told the others." He sighed, trying to relax despite the cramps. He knew this feeling all too well. He's dying.

"The others?" She was a little concerned. There were a lot of people in the city that didn't like vampires and, although she wouldn't deny that they had a good reason for their hostility, it also meant that they wouldn't give any vampire - even a vampire who so clearly didn't want to kill - a chance. "Have you spoken to Doctor Magnus? We work together at my surgery. If anyone can help you, it'll be her."

She was a good doctor and, even more importantly, she knew vampires in a way that Martha didn't.

And speaking of the surgery ...

"What about blood from a blood bank? Would that help? I just keep a small supply in the surgery in case of emergencies, but it might buy us time."

Right now, they needed any time that they could get.
