This is For Katie (Chapter 3)
Uhm-hum. Here's the third part of this shite.
Again, *# is footnote. Or endnote. Doesn't really make a difference here.
I watched as a handsome man *1 stepped out of the Police Box. He looked at Edward and I, and back into the blue box. I could feel Edward getting more and more stiff *2. This was not going to end well.
The man looked back at us. His eyes narrowed and he stared at Edward, confusion and animosity written on his face. He stuffed his hands into the greatcoat he was wearing. *3 Looking over his shoulder a final time, he closed the door to the Police Box behind him and took a step closer.
His body was in a defensive stance, legs spread apart, shoulders squared. He took in a breath, frowning as he did so and leaned forward, making himself more imposing. One of his hands came slowly out of his greatcoat, as if pulling out a gun or something. *4
Edward reacted faster than I could see. One second he was crouched in front of me, the next he was on the man, mouth latched onto his throat. The man’s eyes widened, his face turning red, then white. Edward twitched his head and there was a gash in the man’s throat, spreading from one ear to the other.
Blood was pouring out of the man, spilling all over his coat, the ground, and Edward. I couldn’t stand to watch. My savior, my hero, was ripping this man to shreds over my safety. It was not pleasant to see. *5
Sooner than one would imagine, the man was lying on the ground, blood seeping from a ruined throat and multiple gashes that showed through his shredded coat. I screamed.
Edward was next to me in a moment, running his scarlet soaked hands through my hair, crimson eyes on mine. He was breathing heavily, and his lips were drawn back so I could see his brilliantly white teeth. His pink tongue darted out of his mouth to lap at some blood that still covered his mouth.
“Oh my god!” I finally found words. I pushed at Edward but he was too strong, statue-like body clutching at mine. I was panicking. “Oh my god!”
Suddenly, Edward went very still, eyes still locked on mine. I heard a creak, and looked over Edward’s shoulder to see the door of the Police Box opening, very slowly. A blonde head came out very warily. Edward shoved me against a tree again, and went back to his original crouching position.
The blonde head seemed to finally see the bloodied corpse because a shrill voice rang out. “Jack! Oh my god… Jack!!!” She had an English accent. *6
Soon the blonde head was yanked back into the Police Box by an invisible force. In its place a tall skinny man in a suit and an equally long coat as his companion stepped out. His hands were on his hips and his eyes were blazing.
His voice was also English, and was extremely quiet. “What have you done?” *7
*1 Eh, John Barrowman, pretty handsome. I guess. I go for geeky though. *coughDavidTennantcough*
*2 Oh my gods. Did I just write that blatent innuendo?? YES I DID!!!
*3 Yeah, I prefer Torchwood style Jack to S1 style Jack. *shrugs* Canon Schmanon
*4 Sonic Blaster? Or banana.
*5 Bella needs to grow a pair.
*6 There’s a lot of “Oh my god!”-ing going on in this scene. Maybe it’s the abundance of Mary Sues. *shrugs* just sayin’.
*7 Cue Oncoming Storm hissy fit.
