Tooth and Claw - Two

"All right," Rose sighed trying to piece things together as Rita watched trying to remember as much about the episode as she could which honestly wasn't that good considering the episode was released in April 2006. It was around January 2017 for Rita before she had come here, she didn't remember as much as she would have done with the episode being fresh in her mind. "So the body's human." Rose questioned the man thinking though every so delicately "But what about you, the thing inside?"

"So far from home, just like you Miss Stone" the man snapped his head to the brunette now wide-eyed with more fear than she ever had been full of before. Rose stared at the brunette with disbelief How does it know me? Rita repeated over and over in her mind thinking back trying to remember the episode. It never mentioned Rose in the episode? she thought now doubting herself more and more the longer she thought about it. Why me? she questioned herself. It couldn't have anything to do with me being from 'another world' or the future, Rose was from the future as well? The girl thought. Why didn't it mention Rose?

"We can help you get back home." Rita shook the thoughts from her head focusing on the current moment.

"Why would I leave this place?" He asked "A world of industry, of workforce and warfare. I could turn it to such purpose." The voice almost gleamed at the thought.

"How would you do that?" Rose asked

"I would migrate to the Holy Monarch."

"You mean you would take over Queen Victoria" Rita corrected making it sound much harsher than it already did.

"With one bite, I would pass into her blood, and then it begins. The Empire of the Wolf. Many questions." The man lunged forward, hands on bars and his face between them staring at the girls.

"Look. Inside your eyes. You've seen it too." The scratchy voice spoke.

"Seen what?" Rose asked confused. Rita slowly moved her hand over to Rose's to comfort the girl knowing what was about to be said.

"The Wolf. There is something of the Wolf about you" he didn't fully understand what he could possibly see in the blonde's eyes.

"I don't know what you mean." Rose denied all knowledge, however, she knew what he meant, she just didn't believe it.
"You burnt like the sun, but all I require is the moon." He said before snapping his head to Rita. "And you," she frowned puzzled. "The girl so alone yet not so much." Rita frowned. She wasn't alone she had Rose and the Doctor they were all she really needed, none of her 'friends' from 'her world' had time to spend with her, always at parties or family dinners. Rita was all alone.

"My father didn't treat it as a story." Robert continued "He said it was fact. He even claimed to have communed with the beast, to have learned its purpose. I should have listened. His work was hindered. He made enemies. There's a monastery in the Glen of Saint Catherine. The Brethren opposed my father's investigations." He explained. There was a faint whisper in the room coming from Angelo staring up at the moon.

"Perhaps they thought his work ungodly." The Queen suggested.
"That's what I thought." He sighed his eyes flickering between Angelo and the three sitting at the table "But now I wonder. What if they had a different reason for wanting the story kept quiet?" He paused looking at the three seriously "What if they turned from God and worshipped the wolf?"
