know what. Italics are thoughts and normal is just saying out loud eg. 'My name is The Master' 'My name is The Master' Timelord Abbie does not own Doctor Who because if she did The Master would be travelling with The Doctor now :)

The Master sat in the corner of his darkened room, clutching his head. The drums had slowly started to become louder ever since The Doctor had practically forced him to come with him in the Tardis. 'The Doctor. The man that fixes everything… If he can fix everything… Why can't he fix me?'
The drums started to beat even louder, drowning out all his thoughts. They were calling for something… Blood. Any blood, it didn't matter who's it was. Even if it was his own. 'My own blood… Would that quieten the drums?' The drums beated impossibly louder, as if agreeing with his thoughts. The Master looked around for anything that could be used. His eyes fixed on a plate of uneaten food.
The Master crawled over, in too much pain to stand. He grabbed the knife but it was to blunt to use. Obviously The Doctor didn't want him having anything that could be used as a weapon, the drums beat louder demanding that he found something that could cut open his own skin. The Master looked down at the ceramic plate.
He reached out, grabbed it and flung it across the room. It smashed as it hit the wall. The Master crawled over and grabbed one of the sharp pieces. He observed it and found it would be sharp enough. The Master slowly lowered the piece to his arm 'am I really going to do this? Cut myself…' The drums beated louder and louder as if they were annoyed at his hesitation. He felt like he was no longer in control as he drew the sharp piece of plate across his wrist. Blood slowly trickled out and made its way down his arm. The drums unbelievably quietened as the blood dripped down his arm but they were still telling him to continue, that they wanted more blood. Again and again The Master slashed at his own wrists until his arms were covered in blood.
The drums were miraculously quiet, just at the back of his mind. For the first time in years The Master felt like he could think quite clearly. He stood and swayed, he reached out for something to stop him falling and grabbed on to the bed. The Master fell to his knees near the food that had been tossed on the floor. The food still smelled unappealing but something was telling him he should eat just a bit. Just to get a bit of strength back. The Master grabbed the plainest thing that was there, which was bread, and slowly started to take small bights.
After he had eaten two pieces of bread he felt like he was strong enough to stand. The Master stood, this time without swaying, and stumbled over to the bathroom attached to his room. He turned the water on and started to wash the blood off. He hissed as the cold water stung his cuts but the pain also felt strangely good. He watched the water turn crimson as it cleaned his arms. The Master was so absorbed in the red water that he almost didn't hear The Doctor knock and call for him. 'Master! Hey! Are you ok?' The Master heard a click which was the sound of his door being unlocked. 'Can I come in?' The Master stumbled out the bathroom and grabbed a jacket which was lying crumpled at the end of his bed.
He had just pulled the jacket on, covering his arms, before The Doctor burst in. The Doctor started to stride across the room toward where The Master stood. His foot stood on something which cracked. The Doctor lifted his foot and reached down to see what he broke, when he saw it was a piece of the plate he had gave The Master before he frowned. 'Why is this broken? This is 18th century. Highly collectable and very expensive'
The Master scowled at The Doctor 'well why did you give it to me then? Surely you should know by now that I shouldn't be trusted with your stupid antique plate'
The Doctor just gave The Master a look before remembering what he came in here for. 'Hey! I found a new planet, want tom come explore?'
The Master was surprised by the offer 'I'm surprised that you trust me Doctor. Not worried that I'm going to run off and kill everyone? He said the last part in a sarcastic tone.
'Well nothing lives here for some reason, just a few animal looking things. Anyway you deserve a break from being cooped up in this room for so long. How long has it been since you came here? About 2 months?'
The Master just shrugged, he was locked in this room day in and day out so all the days seem to have blended together. He didn't really pay attention to the passing time.
'Anyway' The Doctor kept on babbling 'It's been a long time so come on! Allons-y!' The Doctor grabbed The Master round the wrist, not noticing his wince of pain. He pulled The Master out of the Tardis and they stumbled out onto a brightly lit planet. The Master blinked a bit, not used to the bright light. 'I can walk fine by myself Doctor' he grumbled sharply pulling his wrist out of The Doctors grip.
The Master looked around, the grass was a bluey-green colour and the sky was purple. Three suns hung in the sky giving off a lot of light which lit up the scenery around them. The leaves on the trees were gold and the flower petals were silver. It was a beautiful planet and it was strange that nothing lived here except for a few animal like things.
The Doctor noticed some hills that were not so far away. The Doctor remembered from when he and The Master were at the academy and they used to run away and chase each other on the hills. The Doctor looked over to The Master and saw that he was also staring at the hills like he was remembering their childhood also.
'Master' The Master turned to The Doctor 'I bet I could beat you to that hill' The Master stared blankly at The Doctor then a smirk slowly spread across his face. 'No way. I could easily beat you. It would b..' The Doctor had already took off running at full speed towards the large blue hill 'Hey! That's cheating!' The Master started to run after him.
As The Master caught up to The Doctor the breeze lazily blew around them, blowing sparkly gold leaves so they swirled around them. He laughed out loud before wondering again why nothing really lived here. The Master attempted to overtake The Doctor but failed when The Doctor started to speed up even more. As they ran past a bonze coloured bush The Master sworn he felt something looking at him. He glanced around and saw nothing so he shook his head, thinking he was imagining things, and carried on running.
The Doctor got to the bottom of the hill before The Master so he started to run up it, he heard The Master just behind him so he slowed a little to let him catch up 'Hey!' The Master cried 'no letting me win! I am going to win without your help' The Doctor shrugged and sped up again. As they started to run down the other side The Master saw this as a good chance to overtake The Doctor.
He leapt at The Doctor, knocking him down onto the floor, he went to get up but he didn't expect the Doctor to grab his ankle so he fell. The Doctor attempted to scramble past The Master but The Master jumped on his back. The Doctor had his breath knocked from him as The Master sat on his back 'You weigh a ton! Seriously! I can't breathe!'
Even though The Master knew The Doctor was kidding the comment made him freeze 'Do I weigh a lot? Today is the first day I've not eaten anything… Lately I've been eating loads…' The Master glanced down at him stomach, which wasn't round but defiantly not flat either. The Master stood up quickly mumbling 'sorry.'
The Doctor turned to look at The Master quite shocked at his sudden change in attitude 'Hey, what's up? Did I hurt you?' The Master just turned away and started to walk back up the hill 'Hey! Master! Stop! Wait!' The Doctor grabbed The Masters wrist hard and spun him round. He then noticed The Master face which clearly showed pain. The Doctor immediately released The Masters wrist 'What? I wasn't holding your wrist that hard… Master?' The Doctor grabbed The Masters arm and pulled up his sleeve, he gasped at what he saw and then grabbed The Masters other wrist and pulled up that sleeve too.
'Master… What are these cuts?'
Sorry if it was short :( I will try to write longer chapters. Review please :)
