Parallel: From Another World [1] (The Parallel Series) ?

Tooth and Claw - Two

"Isobel is right Rose" Rita stared at the creature her face fixed and unreadable. "That's not a man"

"That creature is not mortal," Isobel added only moments before the man's eyes shot open showing the black empty nothingness the woman chained up against the wall on the other side of the room jolt back in horror, even Rita who knew that this was going to happen jolted back in fright. Seeing this happen through a screen was one thing but seeing it in front of your eyes is another.

"The story goes back three hundred years." Robert began looking a little calmer than before "Every full moon, the howling rings through the valley. The next morning, livestock is found ripped apart and devoured." The Doctor frowned listening to the man closely.

Tales like this just disguise the work of thieves. Steal a sheep and blame a wolf, simple as that.

"But sometimes a child goes missing." The Doctor raised his eyebrows and leant in a little closer "Once in a generation, a boy will vanish from his homestead."

Rose started to get up from the ground Rita then followed as well having no choice since she was chained up to the blonde, not that it made any difference since she wouldn't put her in danger even if she know Rose would survive it knowing how much the Doctor cared for her even if he didn't even know it himself yet she couldn't place her in any possible life threatening danger that Rose most likely would escape.

" Don't, children" was the only warning Isobel gave them both.

"Who are you?" Rose asked ignoring her.

"Don't enrage him." a steward also chained up also warned Rose who proceeded to ignore him.

"Where are you from?" She started to kneel down not being able to move forward any further. Rita stood by her protecting Rose, she could never be too sure.

"You're not from Earth," Rita told the man more like a statement than a question.

"What planet are you from?" Rose asked wanting to help the man.

"Oh, intelligence." the man snapped his head in Rita's direction she stayed firmly in place. His voice was scratchy and croaky as if he had not spoken for a long time.

"Where were you born?" Rose asked ignoring his comment to her friend.

"This body? Ten miles away. A weakling," he spat "Heartsick boy, stolen away at night by the brethren for my cultivation. I carved out his soul and sat in his heart." The man spoke as if it was an everyday thing for him to just take a body like that. Take the body of a young man someone somewhere loved siblings parents possibly a relationship all gone because something more powerful than him could take his body and claim it as its own.

"Are there descriptions of the creature?" The Doctor was definitely interested.

"Oh, yes, Doctor. Drawings and woodcarvings." Robert paused looking at the Doctor very seriously "And it's not merely a wolf. It's more than that. This is a man who becomes an animal." he spoke as if it was impossible yet so real like he had seen it before or at least know it was real.
"A werewolf?" the Doctor widened his eyes asking Robert if what he thought he had heard correctly was indeed real.
