AN: So, my first fic for ages and I'm starting it with no idea whatsoever where anything is going, or even what it's about. So, I don't own Doctor Who, but I own this fic, and any attempt to copy it will end in me killing y'all with... uh, something. Enjoy!


Rose was standing on the edge of a cliff, she'd been there before, she knew. She just wished she could remember where she remembered it from. Or when. Maybe it had been somewhere she'd been with school. The sky was black, with no stars. Nothing there to light the blackness she saw. Something about it was touching her, and she began to despair. It was terrible; the darkness filled every corner of her soul.

After a time, she felt it couldn't continue like this forever. The cliff seemed to have some bottom, so she crawled to the edge and began to move down it. There seemed to be hand holes just in the right places for her hands, and little pieces of rock jutting out just in the right places for her feet. A few times, she almost fell, but the cliff seemed to hold her on, with the rocks around her hands moving a little closer together. It was odd, but, since it meant she didn't end up all over a beach hundreds of meters below her.

After maybe three or four hours, she should be at the bottom. As she took a breath and looked down, she almost fell away from the cliff. She must be literally miles higher than she had been when she was at the top of the cliff, and just above her was the cliff that she had climbed up. Her climbing up it must have made it grow somehow. She had gone up, what was wrong with this place?

She tried going up, and she went up. The cliff was just there, and she could still reach it, even though she had been descending for hours. It was right there, and as soon as her hands touched the edge, the darkness came back. Within seconds of climbing over the top, the despair filled her again and she threw herself off.


So, how was that for the first fic I've written for ages? Don't all rush to review it at once. I wish. Oh, and before you scream out that it's too short, it's a prologue, and I'm actually about to start the next chapter.
