The Timeless Master

by

“The rest, as they say...is history.”

The Master had his back to The Doctor, silhouetted against the inky void around them that flickered with ethereal lights and rang with the echoes of distant memories.

“What happened to the child?” The Doctor demanded, keeping her distance.

Finally, The Master half-turned his head to look at her. To her horror, she caught his sadistic Cheshire Cat grin. It never failed to send goosebumps racing across her flesh, and even from where she was standing, The Doctor could see the manic glee dancing in his dark brown eyes.

“What?” she hissed. “What’s so funny?”

“What happened to the child?”

The manic grin fell then, and the change was so instantaneous it almost frightened The Doctor enough to step back, out of his reach. The Master turned, his eyes now glassy and cold, his gaze icy.

“Oh Doctor, really?” he taunted. “Haven’t you worked this out yet?”

“The child...is me,” The Master whispered, his grin sneaking back onto his face. He started bouncing on the balls of his feet in a frenzied dance of ecstasy at the look of shocked horror on the Time Lady’s face. “I am the Timeless Child.”
