The Doctor and Donna walked out of The TARDIS, on looked out on to the deserted street, full of abandoned cars in the middle of the road as people had ran in a panic, broken bicycles and rubbish was scattered all over the place, but there was no-one to be seen. They'd all ran away, scared and frightened for their lives, their families lives.
"It's like a ghost town..." Donna whispered as she and The Doctor began to take in the sight in front of them.
"Sarah Jane said they were taking the people. What for? Think, Donna, when you met Rose in that parallel world, what did she say?" he asked turning to face Donna, longing to know what had been said between her and Rose. After everything that had been going on around them, he hadn't had any time to sit down and think about seeing Rose again, how it made him feel, he longed to know what she was like now, whether she'd changed.
"Just, that the darkness is coming." She answered.
"Anything else?" The Doctor questioned, there must have been something more to it, he noticed Donna looking over his shoulder slightly, as though she had spotted something behind him.
"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Donna asked him, a small smile growing across her face. The Doctor looked at Donna for a moment, wondering what she was talking about, then something clicked in his mind, ask her himself? Rose...that's why Donna was looking behind him. As he slowly turned around, his hearts began to race a thousand beats per minute as she saw Rose, standing there at the other side of the street. Even from where he was standing, he could sense she had that beaming and bright grin on her face. He'd missed her smile. He couldn't believe she was standing there, as soon as he noticed Rose started to run down the road, so did he.
He forgot about everything in those few moments, the Daleks and Davros didn't seem important, right now all he could see was Rose, and he just wanted her in his arms again. He'd waited so long for this moment. He could feel his legs running faster and faster beneath him, but they didn't seem to be fast enough. He was so close to her now, so close. Then he noticed something, in the corner of his eye, and everything suddenly turned to slow motion, there was nothing he could do. The Dalek's eyestalk was pointing straight towards Rose. It was too late for him to do anything. His whole world began to fall to pieces around him; his hearts began to break as he noticed the panicked look on Rose's face, as the smile soon vanished.
"Exterminate!" He heard the Dalek cry, before The Doctor could even react, the next thing he saw was the death ray skimming against Rose's chest, causing her to collapse to the ground in agony.
"No!" yelled The Doctor as he watched her fall to ground. All the time they'd spent apart, only for it end now. Everything happened within a few seconds; Jack quickly appeared, blowing up the Dalek, saving The Doctor a job. "Rose, look up, come on, look at me!" The Doctor voice was barely as a whisper as he got down on his knees next to her, he could feel his voice breaking with emotion "Rose, please, just look at me, come on." He begged and she faintly opened her eyes, looking up at him with a sad smile on her face.
"Doctor," she whispered, tears were welling in her eyes, not only from the pain, but the fact she was back with him, in his arms, even if the circumstances weren't the best. "It's been a while."
"Yeah, it has, I thought it'd be forever, I told you I could never ever see you again."
"Guess you were wrong, you never were the best at judging the impossible, were you?" She smiled gently as she remembered all the times he'd said something was impossible, only for it not to be wrong. She felt a jolt of pain running through, yelping in agony. She'd never felt pain quite like this.
"Hold on Rose, please, just hold on." The Doctor whispered, looking over at Jack and Donna as they came running up to them.
"We gotta get her in to The TARDIS." Jack said, as The Doctor carried Rose to The TARDIS, Jack and Donna behind them, making sure there were no more Daleks around them, the last thing they wanted was more injuries. As soon as they got in to the TARDIS, The Doctor placed Rose down on the floor, as she continued to groan and convulse as the pain amplified inside her.
"Rose, listen to me alright? Just hang on, please, I'm going to be one minute, then I will be right back okay?" The Doctor whispered down to her, taking hold of her hand gently before leaving the console room with Donna.
"What are you gonna do?" Donna whispered as she followed The Doctor, she could see the worry in The Doctor's eyes, she'd never seen worry or panic like it. She knew The Doctor loved Rose, she never judged he loved her quite this much.
"To get something for the pain, there's nothing I can do, not now. We don't have time, not with the Daleks everywhere, I can fix her when this is all over," He looked to Donna, "If she makes it that is." He knew it was a possibility.
"She will, she's strong, right?"
"Yeah," The Doctor whispered, Donna was right, Rose was strong, she was one of the strongest people he had ever met, but he doubted even she could survive this, "Now, I've got to find something for the pain." He muttered, searching through cupboard after cupboard before he found something, quickly injecting it in to Rose. As soon as he walked in to the console room, he could see she was worse, much worse. Still alive though, that's what he concentrating on for now, clinging on to the fact she was still alive.
"Right," The Doctor whispered as he quickly injected the painkiller in to Rose, noticing a difference within a couple of minutes as she looked up at him as the pain subsided. But she was still dying, a Daleks ray was deadly, no matter how little you were hit. "Hey you, feel any better?"
"Yeah." Rose whispered, smiling up at him.
"Gave you something for it, hopefully it'll help." He whispered, catching her as she tried to stand up, only to fall back down to the ground. "Woah! Okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay."
"Good, good," The Doctor could feel the happiness within him again as he looked down at her, "I've missed you too." He beamed as he pulled her in to a hug. He forgot how right this felt, how well the two of them fitter together, like a jigsaw, it was just right.
"You can hug me if you want?" Donna smiled, looking at Jack who simply laughed, "No, really, you can hug me."
"You should probably site down." The Doctor looked to Rose after their embrace, he knew what Rose was like, and she wouldn't let on that she was hurt. He could see she was hurting a lot more than she was letting on as she sat down. He had to help her, and heal her. His hearts clenched as he watched her in pain, dying in front of him. Her heartbeat was fading, slower and slower, far too slow for a human. He had to save the universe first. His mind was rushing as the power within the TARDIS came to a stop, everything going dead inside. "They've got us!" He muttered, "Power's gone! Some kind of chronon loop..." He announced as they were transported to the Crucible.
A/N; I thought I'd re-write Fallen Rose, it was just shocking! Hopefully this version is a lot better. Hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you think! And I'll add more!
