LIFE WITH THE FAMILY

Chapter Eight

"You have got to be kidding me," the Doctor muttered to Alan while they lay bent over on the floor of the throne room. "I can't believe this. We go to another universe and my wife's double there is an evil megalomaniacal bitch?"

"Wanna say that louder? Rain's insane twin didn't quite hear you," Alan muttered while he glanced back at the leather clad woman standing behind them while she conferred with her advisor.

He glanced back at her and shook his head.

"Never ever in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine my sweet Latara having an evil double somewhere."

"Well, believe it so we can get the hell outta here and get back to the Rain we know and love. The one that won't kill us or enslave us as her concubines, that Rain," he said.

"Yeah, just imagine being your sister's love slave."

Alan snorted.

"Not my sister. My sister is out in the city somewhere still shopping which should have been your first clue that this wasn't her."

"Well, how was I to know she and the others were out clothes shopping? I figured the leather getup was her latest purchase."

Alan eyed him.

"Have you ever known Rain to wear anything like what she has on?"

"No, but then again she's gone through a lot of changes in her life. I thought maybe the leather outfit was due to her feeling confident enough to wear something like that. I thought it rather kinky until I realized that wasn't her…well, wasn't the her we know. Anyway, what are you doing here if you cottoned on to all of this?"

"I was trying to warn you, you git, before I got nabbed," he said. "At the very least, I was trying to alert you that you were following the wrong woman! I didn't really think she was evil. I just thought it was an alternate Rain with a leather fetish and…"

He grunted when a riding whip cracked across his back.

"Silence!" the alternate Rain said. "You will not speak, either of you!"

The Doctor turned his face up towards her and glared at her. She was dressed in a leather catsuit with leather boots. Her long hair was swept up in a tight bun that made her look severe. She had a riding whip in her hands and was staring down at the Doctor with utter disdain, an expression he had never seen his wife give him. She was looking from one to the other.

"Twins, eh? I've never had twin concubines before," she said. "I assume that's your intention since you were following me or at least…you were," she said to the Doctor.

"Believe me, if I realized I had the wrong woman I never would have bothered," the Doctor said.

He grunted when she slammed the riding whip down on his back. Alan gritted his teeth at her.

"Oh, lady," Alan said, "it's gonna be hard punching your face looking the way you look but that's not gonna stop me, trust me, and…"

He grimaced when she smacked him on the top of the head with the whip.

"I believe I just ordered you both to be silent, didn't I?" she snarled.

She walked around them and squatted down next to them while two guards stood behind them and kept watch. The Doctor glanced up at her with the riding whip in her hand and fought the conflicting emotions that came from looking at her face and seeing the face of the woman he loved looking back at him. He could swear it was a dream or some sick joke his family thought up but he knew it was all too real.

"So," she said in a sickeningly sweet voice that made the Doctor cringe, "what are your names, my concubines?"

The Doctor swallowed hard.

"The Doctor," he said.

He glanced up at "Rain" who was regarding him silently and he sensed she was trying to figure out whether or not he was joking. To his relief, she apparently decided he wasn't lying because then she looked at his brother.

"And you, my handsome one?" she said, putting the end of the whip under his chin.

Alan resisted the urge to snatch it away from her since the guards had submachine guns pointed at their backs.

"Alan," he said to her.

"Rain" looked at the Doctor. He grunted when she seized his hair. Alan started to get up but he felt the guard behind him put his foot on his back and he relaxed.

"See, this boy is being good, he told me his real name," she said to him. "Now you do the same. What is your name?"

"John Smith," he said to her.

"That's better, my concubine," she purred, stroking his hair.

The Doctor tried to pull away and grunted when she seized his hair again.

"I didn't tell you to move," she said with a voice like ice. "You will obey me now and you will do what I tell you to. If I want you to move, you will. If I want you to stay, you will. You and your brother are mine now and everything you do will be determined by me."

The Doctor made himself keep still while she let go and stroked his hair again.

"That's better, my pet. See how gentle I can be when you obey me?"

Alan glanced at his brother, saw the pain in his eyes and knew he was imagining his Rain and thinking how different this version was. His hearts went out to him. He could just imagine what it would be like to see an evil version of Rose standing there staring down at her latest catches. He just hoped the two of them could get out of this with a minimum of whip marks on their back.

"Rain" stood up and stared down at them. She pointed to Alan.

"Take this one to my bedroom. This one take to my harem, I'll use him later."

The Doctor glanced at his brother.

"Wheee, now I get to shag my "sister", fun!" Alan said, dryly.

He grunted when the guards seized under his arms and pulled him to his feet. They held his arms behind him back while "Rain" came up to him and stroked his cheek.

"You're very handsome, my pet," "Rain said, "you should feel honored that you're going to be the concubine of Princess Lalora."

"Oh thank God, her name isn't…" the Doctor muttered.

Alan stared at him sadly and saw the relief in his eyes. He knew it would be even more painful for him if her name had been Rain too. He grunted when one of the guards jerked on his arm.

"Oi! Watch it, git!" he said to him.

"Now, now, naughty boy," Lalora said, stroking his cheek. "Don't get angry. It's not good for you. Look at your brother. He's not angry, is he?"

"No, but there are several other things he is at the moment," Alan replied.

Lalora walked over to the Doctor. The Doctor tried to jerk his head back when she leaned in for a kiss but the guard grabbed his hair and forced his face forward. Alan sighed when he could see the disgust on his brother's face and he longed to punch the woman in the mouth for doing this to him.

Lalora smiled sweetly at the Doctor.

"You taste so good, my sweet one," she said, stroking his cheek. "I shall have fun with you. But first things first, I will have your brother."

"Like I said, wheee," Alan muttered.

He grunted when the guard jerked his head back and forcibly walked him out of the room. The Doctor watched him go and then turned his head to look at Lalora who was smirking at him.

"Don't worry, your time will come soon enough," she said, running his finger down his cheek. "I'm anxious to sample you, you know."

"Yeah, well I wish the feeling was mutual but I afraid there's another that I love and sadly you're not it."

"In time you will grow to love me."

The Doctor snorted.

"Somehow, I seriously doubt it."

"We shall see, pet."

He flinched when she kissed him again and looked at the guards.

"Take him to my harem, I will deal with him once I get done with his brother," she said to him.

"Yes, your highness," the guard said.

The Doctor grunted and fought his captors while the two guards started to drag him away. Lalora watched them go and then let out a sigh.

"Now for his brother," she said.

"Okay, anyone else find this creepy?" Awinita said to Rain and Mingxia.

They were listening nearby after following the Doctor and Alan into the building. Rain watched the whole thing and thought she was going to be physically ill. She shook her head.

"Alan, oh God, he's going to have to…"

She trailed off.

"We can't let that happen. We have to do something," she said. "We gotta get them outta here before I do something to Bro and my husband."

"Yeah, what?" Awinita said.

"Yeah, it's not like we can just waltz in there," Mingxia added.

Rain stared at Lalora and a grin spread over her face.

"Maybe you can't waltz in there but I can," she said to them. "Just follow my lead."

Alan grunted while he tried to fight the restraints. He was tired to the bed with all his clothes off except for his y-fronts. He tugged hard on the ropes holding his wrists to the bed but they wouldn't give.

"Damn it! I gotta get outta here!" he muttered. "Gotta get free before I get in an icky situation here."

His eyes darted to the door when it opened and Lalora stepped inside wearing a bathrobe..

"Whatever you're planning to do to me, I'll never submit!" he growled at her. "I'm a happily married man whether you like it or not."

"Bro?"

He paused and his breath caught in his throat.

"Te'lesu?" he said.

She closed the door and Alan breathed a sigh of relief when she came over and sat beside him.

"Oh Alan, what have they done to you?" she said softly.

"Nothing yet. Thankfully, they won't get the chance," Alan said, "where did you come from?"

"We followed you. Awinita, Mingxia and I. they're posing as guards trying to find where they've taken the Doctor."

"All I know is they were taking him towards the harem, wherever that is," Alan said. "I was the first on Lalora's list until you showed up. No offense but I really wasn't ready to shag someone who looked exactly like you."

She smiled.

"I can imagine," she said.

She leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"I'm not gonna let her hurt you," she said.

"Good," Alan replied.

Their eyes widened when the door opened and Rain quickly ran around the corner and ducked down beside the bed. Alan glanced at her and then quickly began to struggle again trying to divert Lalora's attention when she walked in the room.

"Hello," she said sweetly.

"Hiya," Alan said. "What have you done with my brother?"

"Oh, he's comfortable enough," Lalora purred. "I hope you are too."

"Oh yeah, I just love the ropes. They feel so good on my skin," Alan said, rolling his eyes.

"Well, if you behave I'll release you from them," Lalora purred.

Alan relaxed and she smiled.

"That's a good boy!" she said.

Alan flinched when she leaned in for a kiss. While she was doing that, Alan saw Rain stick her head up and make a disgusted face.

Um…ew…she thought to him.

Yes, my thoughts exactly, Alan thought back.

She quickly ducked back down when Lalora finished the kiss and ran her finger down his cheek.

"I'll return in a moment, my pet," she said to him. "I just need to get something."

Alan stiffened when she kissed him again and watched angrily when she got up and walked out of the room. Rain popped her head up.

"Okay, that was bizarre, to say the least," Alan said, looking at the door. "When you see brother dear again, please remind him never to judge a book by its cover, alright? Because I really don't wanna go through this all again. Having said that, you better get out of here and go find him."

"But what about you?"

"I'll be alright, I swear. I'll just close my eyes and reeeeeeeeeally pretend it's Rose. Hurry before you get caught and she executes you or something."

Rain kissed him on the forehead.

"I'll be back, Bro," she said. "I promise."

"I know you will, Rain, now go and find the Doctor and your sisters. I'll distract the evil one."

Rain gave him a quick hug and quickly ran from the room while he watched.
