Dark place. Angry. Wrote this. Maybe a oneshot or an ongoing piece. Haven't decided. Thoughts would be lovely. Oh, and if I did own Doctor Who, 11 wouldn't be turned on by murder or guns. Oh, do not get me started on that farce.
I live. I eat. I will die. Until then I play to wreck your world.
She made a mistake, she thinks. She tastes ash on the tip of her tongue and part of her likes it. She tries to shake the feeling and thought but it's too late.
Just a quick trip, he had said. A quick jump to the future. Something had gone wrong with the engines, they were phasing and a quick jump to any point in the future would stabilize said engines and then they had all of time and space at their mercy.
As soon as they stepped out of the Tadris she knew something had been terribly wrong. The air was too heavy and the sky. She looked up and felt herself shudder. Her companion did not look pleased either.
"I landed too far." He pouted. His voice playful but still had that hint of annoyance and disappointment. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked around.
"Where should we have gone?" She asked when she found her voice and ability to speak. He ignored her and turned around, making his way back to his marvelous and impossible ship.
"What do you mean, you landed too far? Too far, what? In the future?" She followed him. She made a choice a long time ago. She'd follow him to the depths of hell without regrets. Wherever he went, she wasn't too far behind.
"Living plastic, what do you know?" He spun around quickly and started to waltz backwards. He opened the doors to the ship and continued his dancey movements.
"Living what?"
Before she knew it, he had an arm around her waist and another behind her back, he danced her around the console room. He had that great big insane smile she loved so much.
"You have no idea how beautiful those words are, my dear Tyler." He pulled her closed and kissed her lips rather aggressively. Rose wasn't prepared. He bit her lip hard before pushing her backwards.
He ran to the controls, laughing in delight. There are times, where Rose fears this man. Something inside her tells her she should run. She never listens to these feelings anymore.
"The Doctor." He looks at her, his serious face on. He stares at her and waits. She stares back confused.
"A doctor? Are you feeling ill? I thought you couldn't get sick. Superior biology and all." She vaguely remembers him mentioning something about his wonderful immune system. His species is a miracle. She thinks he's being pompous but she never says that.
"Oh, Rose. You have no idea." He pulls a lever and the ship jumps. Rose is used to the turbulence by now.
"Jack Harkness?"
"A friend of yours?" She frowns, unsure why he's asking her. His smile could light up the sky out there. He holds out his hand and she accepts it. She always does. He leads her to the door.
"A friend of a friend of an enemy of someone you'll never meet. It's collapsing. Probably finished about," he pushes the door open, "now!"
Rose doesn't have much time ponder that sentence because the scene in front of her is far more interesting. Two people fighting against a door and a man standing in front of them. He looked pained.
"Hello again!" The Master waved cheerfully.
"What have you done?'
"Doc- Rose?" The man at the door stared into her. Rose stepped back, hiding behind the Master.
"It's okay, Rosie. Just ignore the captain." The Master turned to her with his condescending smile and patted her head.
"Who are these people? What's going on? Are we going to help them?"
"Where did you find her? What did you do?" The man in the brow coat looked broken. Rose didn't like the way he looked at her.
"Rose, do you know this man?" The Master knew the answer.
"No."
Rose knew she made a mistake. She killed the man in front of her with a single word.
"Rose, go back in the Tardis."
It was easier to obey when the Master was like this. Rose made no argument and followed his command.
"You know, you were on to something with this companion business. I just wanted to drop in say, hello and thank you for the epiphany! Oh and don't worry about Rose. Your life with her hasn't happened! I probably should have mentioned that earlier." The Master looks down as if in deep thought.
Martha and Jack lost power over the door as the mutants bust through.
"Well, time to go! See you around, Doctor!"
The Master bursts through the doors. Rose bit back her words. The people, the man. She didn't have to question what would have happened. Something was after them. Something would get them. More death and more aliens to pretend that never existed.
Rose made a mistake. She swallowed her fear and smiled. The Master held out his hand and led her in their dance.
This is the part where you tell me what you hated. Liked. Pwease?
