Another flipping Songfic. XD sorry kinda obsessed with those too. So enjoy!
Now I will tell you what I've done for you -
50 thousand tears I've cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won't hear me (going under)
Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies.
(So I don't know what's real)
So I don't know what's real and what's not (don't know what's real and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I...
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away)
I won't be broken again (again)
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under (going under)
I'm going under (drowning in you)
I'm going under
Cold. Dark. Lonely.
This is what Rose felt at these moments in time. The moments where she didn't know who she was, where she was, or when she was. It was just so lonely, so cold, and oh so dark. She blinked, and it felt like her limbs were slow as she tried to create some order. But where she was wasn't allowing it.
She hadn't done anything wrong! And yet she felt like it was judgement day, her mind and muscles screaming for mercy...and air. Air? That narrows the places she could be down. She struggled against the darkness, but to no avail as the dark endless pit below her grabbed ahold and dragged her down, deeper and deeper into the abyss of agony.
The pain nipped at every inch of her body, as well as the bitter cold. It kept growing colder and colder the farther down she sank, and she looked up. She saw what was a faint light now, growing even fainter. Her mind scrambled to connected the dots and figure out where she was and what to do to escape. Her air in her mouth was almost gone, and her brain was shutting down fast. Finally, after what seemed like forever, she figured it out. She was sinking. Drowning.
Her arms and legs struggled to move against the cold water, desperate to get back to the surface. But she was already out of breath and too far down. She opened her mouth as water rushed in, frozen in a silent scream as the light above faded completely and her eyes closed.
The Doctor's hearts stopped. His whole world stopped, his mind flooded with panic and horror as he saw an already wounded Rose fall into the lake, pushed by those cowardly aliens they were fighting. Everything else didn't matter anymore, he only focused on the quickly sinking Rose. Without thinking, he jumped in after her.
The freezing temperature of the water shocked his system, and he flailed around in the water for a second. Then he regained some sense and proceeded downward. He swam down and down, what seemed like forever. Where was she?! He couldn't lose her now, he couldn't. Finally, after such a long time, he saw the shape of Rose down beneath him.
By now his lungs were screaming for some air. But he ignored them and focused on the main problem, which was saving a quickly drowning Rose. As fast as his limbs would go, he shot down to Rose's level, wrapped one of her arms around his shoulder and started swimming up to the surface. The fight back upward was brutal, and for a moment he didn't know if he could make it.
But just as that single thought of doubt crossed his mind, his mind and body was engulfed in new energy, energy that burned in his soul. The Doctor made that final push and he felt air on his face as he broke the surface of the cold water. Quickly, The Doctor gathered up Rose in his arms and trudged to the TARDIS as fast as he could. The aliens were long gone, they probably ran.
The Doctor fumbled with his TARDIS key and he was shivering too much to fit it into the lock. Luckily the TARIS unlocked herself for him and he pushed in. The first priority was to get the water out of Rose, before it was too late. He started to work that out and succeeded a few minutes later. The Doctor heard her cough up the water, but he was too focused on finding a nice, thick blanket for the problem of her temperature.
For Rose, it was all blurry and hazy. She could make out The Doctor fumbling around with a few things that were too blurry to recognize, and then she felt something covering her. She decided that it was a blanket, and a large one at that. She waited for her sight and hearing to go normal and stop being all wonky. She then opened her mouth to speak.
"Doctor..." She managed to get out, and Rose then realized how weak and tired she felt, oxygen starvation and the wound she had gotten earlier makin her brain drag behind its usual speed. The Doctor crawled back to her side, and she saw how cold he was, he was shaking and soaking wet. "Y-you... Need t-to get-t warm..." She stuttered out, suddenly very grateful for the blanket's presence.
The Doctor shook his head stubbornly. "Your welfare is more important." He decided, then scooped her up in his arms again, carrying her off to her room. The TARDIS made it closer to where they were, not wanting to put to much stress on The Doctor, who was as bad as Rose was. She heated the air up, but that was all she could do for him at this point. The Doctor carefully laid her down so she was sitting on her bed. "Rose, you need to change. So I'm going to have to leave you for this, but don't worry, I'll be back." He said soothingly.
"Where are you going t-to go?" She asked in a whisper. The Doctor smiled softly. "To my room. I have to change as well, after all. unless you want me to turn into an icicle, then I couldn't take care of you." He said, then disappeared from the doorway, letting Rose change out of those clothes.
He returned to her room ten minutes later, to find she had successfully changed and was now curled up under the monstrosity of blankets on her bed. The Doctor's mouth twitched as an amused smile threatened to appear. He quietly walked up to the lump and poked it with one of his fingers lighty. Grunt. Rose untangled herself from the blankets and uncovered her head in the process. "Hello." She said, voice a little bit over a whisper now. "Hello." he said back. "You, still have that injury from earlier. I believe I have means to check it." He reminded her sternly. She groaned.
"does it have to be now? I'm still cold." She whined, sinking back into the lump of blankets. The Doctor gave a look and he sighed. "alright, I'm moving..." She hauled herself up and followed The Doctor out the door, who hugged her to his side after they left her room. They went down the hallway towards the med bay where The Doctor had her sit on one of the beds there. Then he scanned her for any serious problems with the injury. "Well Rose, as long as you don't push yourself too hard, it will heal on its own with no problems." He announced.
Rose nodded. "Doctor, be honest, because I can't remember what happened, what happened?" She asked him. He sighed. "The aliens pushed you in, seeing you were already dazed and hurt, they thought it would be easier to finish you off. I went after you of course. When I came back up they were gone. stupid cowards..." He growled. Rose tilted her head. "Why can't I remember that?"
"Your body went into shock. Everything was happening too fast and it shut down." The Doctor replied simply, having a sudden fascination with his fingers. Rose sat and stared at nothing for a moment, then thought of something else. "Wait so if i have to not push myself, that means no adventures for awhile. You going to be okay about that?" She asked, a smile cracking her face. The Doctor sighed. "Probably not, but i'll try for you. I'll do anything for my Rose." He said.
Rose beamed at him. "Well then, if you'll go and do anything for me, then you'll have to follow my orders." She commented, a hint of smugness playing in her voice. The Doctor Rolled his eyes, but played along. "Yes sir." He said, then ran out of the room laughing as Rose advanced on him, then she started laughing herself and gave chase. The TARDIS watched the two run through her halls, and all was well for now.
