Hey er'ryone~ :3
Since Weeping Angels are one of my favorite races in the show, I felt the need to drabble on them a bit.
Dislaimer: This here's my first Dr Who fanfiction, but certainly not my first fanfiction written. So any discrepancies in here in canon/spelling/characterization aren't to be taken too.. I suppose, perfectly? As always, I write for the fun of it, so if you feel like you need to point some canon or.. w/e out to me, I'm honestly not going to care. If you want to leave a review, keep in mind that I may take what you say on that into consideration, but it just gives the impression that you hated/disliked this fic. This is just meant to be for enjoyment~
But anyway, have fun reading~!
Between the Veshta Nerada and Midnight…
Quiet piano music played on a little radio in the middle of a desolate field. Sitting on the stone wall next to the radio was a budding assassin. The loneliest kind of assassin ever born.
Tamese shifted his large wings behind him. His systems gnawed at him as a stomach would. It reminded him that the time was coming. He was so close to not being anything other than a ravenous vulture of this rotting planet. Just like the rest of his kind stuck scavenging here.
He gritted his teeth, rubbing his uncovered arms. It was cold out, but he couldn't really tell for sure. It was still dusk and most everything capable of perceiving other life was winding down for the day. Not like there was much of it out here in the first place. He stayed in places like this on purpose. He hated life forms. He just wanted everyone to stay away. Maybe then, just maybe, he wouldn't become like the rest.
Tamese, called a voice in his mind. Are you in the fields?
He rolled his white eyes. I want to be alone right now, Kilet. His older brother was pressuring him so hard to just go through with the instinct. "What's holding you back?" Kilet would always say. "You've got to be starving by now."
Tamese was starving. God, he felt it. He craved something he hadn't even tasted before but needed so much. Energy. Potential energy. It was like a dormant parasite in his soul. It needed fuel otherwise it would slowly kill him.
A stone cold tear slipped down his thick skinned face. Wiping the cloudy fluid away, he gave a trite laugh to himself. Weeping Angel indeed. No one could really see him cry. Not now. Not ever.
Oh get off it! Just come with us, we're going to case Paris's outskirts! said his brother again suddenly in his mind, causing the Weeping Angel to almost fall off the wall.
Damnit, I said I want to be alone right now! he shouted back fiercely in his mind, his claws extending into the stone under him.
There was silence for a little while before Kilet replied, You don't have to scream it. I can hear you fine.
Then why don't you just LISTEN to what I'm saying, retorted the younger Angel, his tone still hostile.
Grabbing his old radio and pushing off the wall, Tamese opened his wings and glided for a meter or so, landing without even causing grass to make noise under him. He switched off the device harder than he meant to.
What's the matter with you? asked his brother. You act like you don't want to kill or like you're even afraid of it.
Tamese stopped in his tracks. Don't you even dare.
Well? Are you?!
NO. Never. I'm not afraid of killing, he lied. Don't equate me to a human like that.
Well then what is it? You won't come with us, you won't train, you won't even say that you're starving. What is your problem? asked Kilet, his exasperation pouring into Tamese's mind.
The Angel bared his razor edged teeth. Why couldn't he just shut his mind off? Leave me alone, I swear to the Vortex, Kilet… The link was silent for a moment before something like a sigh formed in his mind. Then nothing.
Tamese stood still for a little while. Then he continued. He'd bought himself more silence. Good.
Then he heard something off in the surrounding forest. His circadian rhythm sped up. No heart to beat wildly and cause any sound. Crouching low, the Angel looked past the now dark pasture to the edge of the trees far beyond. A flashlight shone through the woods, and he could just make out a human figure.
He scowled. Oh glorious, what is a human doing all the way out here? Staying close to the ground, he dashed in a split second to the nearest hill. He peaked just over the top of the grass and watched the human far beyond.
They were calling out. He couldn't hear them from here, but he assumed they were probably looking for livestock or pets. It was almost dark enough for him to fly away, but his white hide would be instantly visible. Especially since his clan didn't take garments like most Sisters did on this planet.
The human called out again, closer. Tamese sighed. He didn't want to deal with this—not today. Maybe he could just go up behind them and end their disturbing of his peace, make things so less complicated. It was tempting… but so was the possibility of being stealthy. He avoided crowded areas like eye contact itself, but he had never actually been seen by a human before.
"Greiiiiiiiilbeeeeeeeen!" he heard faintly. The light was getting closer. A cloaked form was half jogging, half walking through the trees, getting closer to the border of the pasture.
Tamese lowered his head to just barely peek over the grasses. Greilben? Slightly intrigued, he waited until the form pointed his light away from the pasture. Once the human turned away, he dashed at near the speed of light to a sturdy tree above the human, crouching on a branch. Tamese studied the man and could tell already that this man was definitely not human. His energy aura was more than any other he had seen before…
There was another with the slight being, a red haired woman just barely keeping up. "Doctor, slow down! I can barely keep up with you at this rate," she griped right before he shouted the name out again.
Tamese's opaque eyes widened. Doctor… with an aura like that. This was the Doctor—as in the last of the Time Lords.
A/N: This is about a third of the size of my original chapters. I have a lot more written, but I'mma stagger them out.
Hope y'all enjoyed and will continue to enjoy the silliness which is this fic~
