The Smell of Blood.

A/N: This is my first story :D YAAAAY... yes i'm sorry about the ending it's pretty bad, buuut i hope you like it and REVEIW. Oooh and also it's a Torchwood/Dr Who fanfiction so it might make more sense if you watch those. But you chose.

I remember a time when I'd walk down a beach and dig my feet into the pure white sand. I'd stand on that beach and let the crystal blue water lap at my feet, staring out at sea wondering if the world is flat or if it just stretches off into the oblivion where nothing matters. I wish I was there now, instead of this blood thirsty world.

For the past 4 years there's been a war going on, people screaming, the smell of blood hanging in the air and people forced to stay inside. Every night I hear sounds of weeping mothers crying over the corpses of their little babies, and screams of horror when husbands and sons get pulled away from their burning houses and blood stained wives and daughters, the world never used to be this mad, the world used to be calm and yes, everyone was a bit dysfunctional but no one cared.

You might be wondering who I am, well I'm Rose Tyler and this is my story.

I run down the cobbled alley way and look frantically behind me, two soldiers are still chasing me with inhuman grace, I turn off hoping to get them off my tail then I stop. There's a huge fence that's about 3 metres high. I walk up to it and touch it, only to jump back in surprise as I learn that the fence is electrocuted.

"Jack I'm stuck," Rose said into her earpiece "I'm at a dead end, and my times running out." Rose cried, as she looked behind her again the soldiers were walking up and down the alleyway looking to where she went. Then one of the soldiers turned its face to where she was and nudged its partner and pointed.

Rose turned back around and yelled "JACK!"

"It's ok I'm here, Tosh is going to disable the fence in front of you, but it'll only be for a second…" Jack said

Rose stood there silently as the soldiers started to lope towards her.

"Rose?" Jack asked "Did you get that?"

"Yes," Rose replied

"Ok… Tosh is turning off the fence NOW!" Jack yelled

Rose jumped onto the fence and clambered over it but something pulled her sharply back, Rose yelped and struggled up the fence. She heard something tear and felt the pull on her jacket slacken, she hoisted herself over the fence and screamed as the fence became live again, she dropped down on the ground hard and rolled over moaning.

Rose lifted her head up slowly and saw that the soldiers had stopped; she slowly got up and winced as she felt a throbbing pain in her head. She walked over to the fence cautiously to see the soldier's faces; her eye's widened as she took in their faces. The creature in front of her had a circle sort of face, its face kind of reminded her of a shark with its fang like teeth and its eyes slanted. This creature could smell blood and fear from a mile away, and its eyes the deepest black, so when it stares at you it makes you feel cold and lonely inside. This creature was called a Weevil.

Rose turned and began to walk away, she covered her ears as there was a loud piercing roar/whine from behind her. She turned around just in time to see two men threatening the weevils with Tasers and pepper spray. The weevils moaned in pain. One of them broke free from their ranks and ran towards the fence, Rose took a few steps forward to try help it, but something pulled her back she looked around and Jack was there. He put his fingers to his lips, and motioned to the Weevil, she looked around to see the Weevil hit the fence, and fell in a heap on the ground.

Rose watched in horror, as the Weevil was being dragged into the army truck at the end of the alley. Rose turned to face Jack and glared at him accusingly.

"I could've helped him," Rose said quietly

"What no thanks?" Jack smirked

"We could've helped him, he didn't have to die," Rose cried

"WHAT ELSE COULD I HAVE DONE… ROSE! " Jack yelled back, but Rose wasn't listening, she started to walk up to the fence and plucked a piece of material off it and studied it, she looked up at Jack and showed it to him.

"I've seen this symbol before… but not in our world." Rose said "It's the symbol of the death."

Jack looked up at her with a worried expression, but then brushed it off with a smile, He turned and started walking towards the end of the street.

"It's probably nothing… "He said over his shoulder "Are you coming?"

Rose looked around her and back to where the Weevil had been dragged, then she ran after Jack.
