Summary: The eerily silent village had been bad enough, but this was worse.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
The deserted village would have been enough to rattle anyone. There were houses, homes that appeared to still be in use, but there were no people. The SUV hadn’t found its way there by itself, however. Someone had stolen it and driven it here, so there had to be at least one person about, it was just…
The silence was eerie. It hung over the village like a shroud, and Ianto kept casting glances over his shoulder, expecting at any moment that someone would sneak up behind him. It was no consolation at all when someone did exactly that. He never even saw whoever it was; something struck the back of his head and that was the last thing he knew until he regained consciousness, locked in a dark, dank cellar.
At least he wasn’t alone there; Tosh was with him, but they’d both been disarmed, and she had no more idea about who had captured them than he did. She was keeping calm though, which was more than could be said for him. If the silence had rattled him before, the body parts he found in the fridge left him utterly terrified.
Was that to be their fate too?
The End
