Chapter 3
The man woke up with a jolt the room was spinning and everything seemed blurred he tried to sit up but found he hadn’t got the strength, when he spoke his voice was slurred
“Where am I, what’s happening I don’t I can’t………..” he flustered.
“Don’t worry we’ll soon get you warm again, you’re suffering from a very mild case of hypothermia, you’re lucky we found you when we did otherwise it could have been much worse” Kez gently explained.
When his vision cleared he saw a man with a beard leaning on the mantelpiece smiling at him.
“My dear Brigadier what a great pleasure it is to see you again! Let me introduce you to my wife Professor Kezianna Galeano” he said.
“Brigadier, I’m not a Brigadier, will somebody kindly explain what’s going on here. Look if this is nothing more than some elaborate charade then I am certainly not amused. I’ll have you know that I’m……..I’m well I’m not sure but I can assure you that I shall report this” the man snapped.
“Emil you told me that this was Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart of an organisation called UNIT. It seems the poor chap has lost his memory. Same thing happened with the young man! Why are we encountering humans who seem to have undergone a complete memory lose?” Kez angrily said.
The Master poured the man a large brandy “Calm down, we’re not exactly here by choice either. Now then tell me what is the last thing you remember?” he encouraged.
The man shook his head, taking a long drink of brandy he said “I remember being in a room with a group of people I had some sheets of paper in my hand and I was saying, I was saying, oh confounded I don’t know what I was saying the next thing I know I am struggling through snowdrifts trying to get out of the cold”
“Emil we have to go and…..”
“Yes my love we have to go upstairs and see the young man I hadn’t forgotten!” the Master interrupted Kez.
“There’s a rip!” the man said
“A rip what are you talking about a rip?” the Master began.
“A rip, a rip in the woods a rip in the…….”
“No don’t fall asleep! A rip what do you mean a rip?” the Master tried to wake the man, but Kez intervened.
“No let him sleep Emil, he’s exhausted and needs to rest!” she said.
The Master stormed out of the room and went upstairs to see the young man who was drifting in and out of consciousness, he kept speaking in two different languages and his voice was very agitated.
“I will have explanations! Why are you doing this you stupid entity?” the Master muttered.
“Emil, Emil please come quickly! No you keep away from me, don’t come any nearer, I’m warning you keep back!” Kez screamed.
The Master raced back downstairs as he entered the living room Kez was throwing ornaments at some dark apparition in a vain attempt to keep it away, everything it touched was turning to ice it bore down on Kez with amazing speed as ice travelled up her legs the Master howled in frustration “No you said my wife wouldn’t be harmed! You cannot do this, I forbid it!”
Kez struggled against the block of ice that was rapidly forming around her soon only her head was free it was only a matter of time before she became totally engulfed by it, and she looked imploringly at her husband to help her……………………
