Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who :( , it is the property of BBC.
A/N: Here it is! The prologue for the requested continuation of Now Comes The Night :D! If you haven't read Now Comes The Night yet I would strongly advise you do so before reading this. Not only because this sequel will spoil the story, but because you will get pretty confused as to how all this happened in the first place. You have been warned ;).
Prologue
A knife glinted scarlet in the silver moonlight. It's wielder examined the blood dripping from the object, smiling cruelly. Then, without warning, threw the knife at the kindling in front of him.
It hit the wood with a "thunk!", narrowly missing the trainer clad foot of the body carelessly thrown over the branches.
'It was so much easier this time. So much faster.' his smile grew wider, so that his teeth glinted in the moonlight.
He turned away from the body and drew a match from his shirt pocket. He lit the match, the light flickering over his face, making him look like the monster children see in their nightmares.
He took a few steps forward, dropped the match into a can of petrol, and continued to the trees.
His eyes darkened in triumph as the sudden flare of light behind him caused his shadow to dance out in front of him.
'He was finally gone. After all this time, the mission was complete.' He gave one last wicked smile, before disappearing into the forest.
The smoke curling up into the sky and blocking out the moon.

(One year later)
On the beach of Bad Wolf Bay two women were struggling to carry an unconscious man to a jeep further inland.
They were completely oblivious to another man watching them from in front of a rock wall further down the beach.
"For someone who's nothin but skin and bones 'e sure weighs a lot!" the older woman grunted out "how much further then?"
The younger woman looked up from her burden to gauge the distance. "Another hundred meters."
"Another hundred meters?" the older women exclaimed.
The younger women just laughed as the older woman continued to complain loudly about the weight of the unconscious man.
The man who had been watching them narrowed his eyes, before turning to disappear threw a hidden crevasse in the rock face.

Rose was driving the jeep over rough terrain back to the town, while her Mother sat in the back with the Doctor, trying to keep him comfortable.
"How did you know he'd be their?" Jackie asked, breaking the silence that had fallen since they got the Doctor into the jeep.
Rose turned her head to glance at her Mother, who was holding the Doctor's head in her lap. When a bump in the road reminded her to focus on where they were going.
"I didn't." Rose conceded "I heard about the signal with the wolf's howl and today's date, I told you about Bad Wolf right?" Rose gave a quick glance back to see her Mum nod before continuing. "And thought that maybe..." she trailed off fighting back tears "I never truly expected to find him there."
"Was he unconscious when you found him?" Jackie asked, sensing that there was something her daughter wasn't telling her.
"No, he was conscious, just barley. He said..." Rose hesitated.
"He said?" Jackie prompted.
"He-he said he loved me."
"Oh. Well, it's about time!" Jackie replied, trying and succeeding in lightening the mood.
Rose gave a small laugh, before turning the jeep onto the road now apparent in front of them.
Jackie scrutinized her daughter from the back seat. "So what are you gonna do now?"
Rose bit her lip as she watched the town, and their ride back to the Tyler mansion, getting steadily closer.
"I don't know." she replied honestly "We'll just have to wait and see what happens when he wakes up." Rose took the chance that the straight-flat road gave, to glance at the Doctor's expressionless face in the rear view mirror.
Yea, I know, really short chapter. But it's a prologue, their no supposed to be long, their supposed to confuse the heck out of you ;D . Reviews are wonderful and Constructive criticism is always appreciated :D!
