Doctor Who: After Doomsday
I said I would write a bigger story so here we go...
You will need to read my one-shot fic before reading this as it is set after Doomsday n if you haven't read my Doomsday Rewritten you won't have a clue what is going on lol.
I am going to write this as though it was a series. There will a Christmas special sort of thing (yeah I know it's the middle of summer) and then 13 'episodes' after that. I wont write it in a script style though, just like a normal story. I will do a summary at the beginning of each chapter. I will split each episode up into three chapters.
Summary: It has been two months after the events at Torchwood. Rose is settling into a life with the Doctor but without her family. Remembering something her mother said she makes a decision. A decision that will lead her and the Doctor on yet another perilous adventure...
Disclaimer: The rock is still stubborn n I still don't own Doctor Who :(
Christmas Special: The Night Before Chaos
The building had been abandoned years ago, no one had knocked it down or renovated it. It had just been left to gather dust. It was the kind of place you would walk past on your way to the shops and not give a second glance, that is if you were to notice it at all.
It was the perfect place for someone to hide.
What used to be the large and attractive living room of the house was now filled with dirt and dust. The sad remainders of a floral wall paper hung torn and filthy around the walls. Muck filled in the cracks of the floorboards. There was no furniture save an old wooden chair that sat right in the center looking rather out of place.
A tall figure walked into the room. They wore a long black hooded cloak that disturbed the dust as they moved purposefully towards the chair.
A rustling went around the room and out of the shadows stepped twenty or so figures all dressed in similar garb.
The figure stepped onto the chair, using it as a podium to address the others that were gathered around the walls
"Tonight my sons, you will become the lord's of this world, your children shall be conceived and our race will live on to become supreme!"
A loud clicking sound ran through the room, the sound seemed to convey glee, excitement and anticipation for whatever was going to be carried out that night.

Rose and the Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and into a dark but white, cold wold. A few late night shoppers pushed their way through the snow but apart from that the streets were empty.
Laughter and singing could be faintly heard coming from a nearby pub.
"Well Rose you said you changed your mind and wanted to visit Earth again so here we are," He took her hand and they began to walk away from the TARDIS, "Ah Christmas eve, nothing like a good party, roasted chestnuts, drink, annoying songs and Christmas trees to raise your spirits. I remember last Christmas, saved the world in Howard's pyjamas, and there was that satsuma, always love the satsuma Rose, it's a good source of vitamins."
The Doctor continued to ramble on about satsumas while Rose stared at everything around her. It had been an entire two months since they last set foot on Earth. Originally Rose had thought it would be too hard to come back. After all her family had gone. Her mum, Jackie, her sort of but not really dad, Pete and her once half boyfriend, Mickey, were now living their life in another universe parallel to this one yet so far away. However one evening, she had walked back to the TARDIS with the Doctor, laughing and joking about there latest scrape with danger, when suddenly out of the blue a cold, lonely feeling had hit her. She had remembered something her mother had said about her. About how she would keep on traveling, forgetting her past life on Earth until she was no longer Rose Tyler. She had told the Doctor and here they were, he didn't argue against her decision, in fact he seemed to fully support it. Rose had a feeling that the Doctor had known she would want to come back to Earth as soon as she first told him she didn't.
Looking up Rose realized that he was staring at her as if expecting her to answer something.
"What?"
The Doctor gave her a quizzical look, "I asked if you wanted to join a party, however it appears you were more interested in what ever you was going on inside your head, you alright?"
Rose shook herself out of her thoughts, "I'm fine," she paused for a bit thinking, "I guess it would be nice to join a party, but, we can't."
"Sure we can!" The Doctor said cheerfully, "if that's what you want, I mean it's a bit domestic for me but hey I'm unpredictable I am, no telling what I'm going to do next. Sometimes, Rose, even I don't know and I'm a genius." He grinned cheekily at Rose causing her to smile widely at him.
"No Doctor," she faced him and with her free hand began absentmindedly smoothing out the invisible creases on his jacket, "I mean it might be fun but I'm dead remember, what would people think if I appeared at a party."
She continued to smile at him, but the Doctor gave her a knowing look and hugged her, "I'm sorry Rose"
"What for, you never done anythin."
"Well, because of silly old me you can't ever go back to having a normal life."
Rose pulled out of the hug, putting her hands on the Doctors arms and looked at him sternly, "Doctor, how many times do I have to tell you," She took a deep breath before continuing in a slow, serious tone, "I'm never leavin you."
The Doctor smiled warmly and opened his mouth as if to reply when a loud, terrified scream interrupted him.
"Is it just me Rose Tyler or did that scream sound like the one of those sort of suspicious screams we like to investigate?"
Bouncing, in an impatient manner, on the balls of his feet, like a child waiting to receive a bar of candy,the Doctor looked to Rose waiting for her to reply.
Rose answered by grabbing his hand. "Come on then Doctor what are you waiting for, Christmas?"
The Doctor gave his trademark grin and they ran off hand in hand towards the direction of the scream.

The woman backed up until she was pressed against the wall of the alleyway. She began to sob as the creature advanced upon her. It's crimson eyes glowed menacingly. She could see and feel it's warm, sticky breath, it was so close.
It lunged one of it's arms forward and dug it's large silver claws into her stomach, she screamed again, this time in pain as well as fright. She felt a strange sensation as though a liquid was being pumped into her body.
The creature removed it's hand.
A nasty look, close to a smirk played on it's reptilian features. Placing it's other hand across her stomach it healed the wound made only seconds earlier.
Before it could do anything else the woman cried out in relief as two figures, Rose and the Doctor, ran into the alley. Turning around the creature growled in annoyance and jumped. Landing on the roof of one of the houses it looked down glaring at Rose before running away. Rose felt her blood run cold but she shrugged the feeling of as just her being paranoid.
The woman groaned slightly and collapsed in a heap on the snow. Rose and the Doctor ran to her side. Both of them crouched down and the Doctor felt for the woman's pulse.
"Doctor what was that thing, what did it do?"
"I don't know, I didn't get a proper look at it, did you? As for what it did, I'd say nothing, I think this woman is suffering from what most people would call shock."
"We can't just leave her here."
"Well we could quite easily but it wouldn't be very nice," the Doctor grinned.
"Well I say we sort her out and then go find out what that thing was." Rose looked at the Doctor expectantly.
"By asking the neighbors I presume?"
Rose shoved the Doctor playfully causing him to loose his balance and fall backwards into the cold, wet snow.
"Oi!" He exclaimed in a tone that ranged between surprise and annoyance, standing and brushing himself off, Rose just laughed at him.
The Doctor ignoring her, got the sonic screwdriver out from his pocket, held it into the air and turned it on.
"Hmmm well the creature hasn't left energy traces of any sort. This might be a hard one to resolve."
Rose looked thoughtfully up at the roof of the building that the creature had jumped too, a smile crept onto her face and she turned to the Doctor smugly, "For a genius you aint that bright."
"Hey watch your mouth miss! I'll have you know that-"
"Doctor!"
"Rose cut him off sharply before he began rambling again, she may find it cute when he did that but now wasn't the time, "Doctor the snow..."
The Doctor's face lit up with realization, "Of course!" He exclaimed slapping his forehead, "It will have left tracks."
There was a groan and they both looked down at the momentarily forgotten woman.
"Wass goin on?" Her speech was slurred and groggy, "Wha' happened, wer am a?"
Shaking her head she began to stand up, Rose went to help her but as soon as the woman was on her feet she clutched her stomach and fell back down on the snow.
The Doctor, all humor gone from his face, bent down and scanned the sonic screwdriver, that he was still holding, over the woman's stomach. The devise emitted a bleeping sound. Looking decidedly worried by this, he handed the screwdriver up to Rose and placed his hands either side of the woman's head, he took a deep breath before beginning to read her mind. A few short moments later the Doctor stood up a concerned look on his face, he turned to Rose and when he spoke his voice was solemn.
"I think I know what is going on."
Oooooh something has got the Doctor worried. I have it all planned out so you will find out exactly what is going on as soon as I can update and then after that you will find out how they solve it.
So uh Merry very early Christmas.
