This chapter might make you a little lost, but chapter two should clear everything up... I hope

The tenth Doctor woke up covered in sweat screaming. He had just had a horrible nightmare. Rose Tyler ran into the Doctor's room. Her blonde hair was every which way, her purple nightgown was flying about and she was still half asleep. "Doctor, are you ok? What happened?" The Doctor stopped screaming when he saw Rose. She was ok. "It was just a dream. Go back to bed." The Doctor had lied. He hated lying to Rose, but she was better off that way. The tenth Doctor had a nightmare where Rose had died in battle. And a time lord's dream often came true. Rose was fighting a creature the Doctor had never seen before and it stabbed her. The Doctor was forced to slowly watch her die. It was horrid. The Doctor ran his hand through his hair. His knew his time with Rose Tyler was coming to an end.

"Where are we heading today?" Rose asked days later as they flew through space. "Earth, two thousand and six. A creature known as the Kob is attacking the underground." Rose nodded. The TARDIS landed and Rose and the Doctor fell to the floor. Laughing, Rose got up and walked to the Doctor. She offered her hand, "I would think you would have figured out how to drive by now." The Doctor gave a grin and took her hand. "Well maybe I'll just let you drive next time." Rose smiled back. She loved days like this. Just the Doctor and her traveling together through the stars. The couple locked arms and stepped out into the sun. "The Kob shouldn't be too hard to find. They're purple creatures that are eight feet tall and super fat. We just have to convince them Earth isn't the right home for them." The Doctor told Rose and they walked to a newsstand. It was June first two thousand and six. They were in Chicago, Illinois. The Doctor's recent dream was still in the back of his mind, but he tried to forget about it. He had to focus on the task at hand. "Now the Kob dig holes in soft ground. Where would that be?" The Doctor asked, waving is sonic screwdriver. "A park?" Rose suggested. The tenth Doctor grabbed Rose's hand. "Well come on then we have no time to waste." They ran to the nearest park, ready to defend Earth. When they got there, The Doctor let go of Rose and ran ahead. Someone had already bet them to the Kobs. "Sir, this area is off limits." The police officer told the Doctor. Rose rolled the eyes. She knew whenever police were involved, things didn't turn out good. "Listen to me; you don't know what you're getting into." The tenth Doctor warned. If they didn't leave, more people were going to get hurt then there should be. But The Doctor was too late, a rumble shook the ground.

A tree nearby fell to the ground. From the hole a creature came out. It was huge and purple, it had to be the Kob. "Go home Kob." The Doctor told it. Rose couldn't understand what the Kob said, but knew the Doctor did. "I don't care. Humans already live here, you can't stay. The Earth belongs to the humans." More strange noises. Rose walked up to beside the Doctor. "Please, step away from the monster. We can kill it." The cop yelled at the couple, scared. The Doctor spoke to the Kob again, "See how these humans can be? You don't want to live here. They'll kill you all. But I can let you escape now, never come back." The human cop shot his gun in the air. The creature let out a yelp. "If you don't put the gun down, you will shoot someone." The tenth Doctor turned to the cop. Rose stepped closer to the Kob. "It's ok, they aren't going to shoot you if you leave. Humans can be mean, trust me." She spoke to it. The alien made another noise, and the ground shook again. Everyone watched as two more purple Kobs stepped out of the ground. The first one spoke to them. When he was done, all three turned to where the cop was standing. The man raised his gun once again. Two of the creatures were launched into the sky, transported away from the Earth. The last one stayed for a few seconds. The Kob made a noise to Rose, like it was thanking her and the Doctor. But those last seconds made a difference. It only took a few seconds for the cop to point his gun at the creature. It only took one second to hit the trigger and a bullet to shoot out. The Doctor looked from the man to where to creature and Rose was standing. The Kob went up, leaving Rose standing by herself. But it takes longer than a few seconds for the Doctor to be able to shout "ROSE MOVE!" to warn her. That's why she didn't hear it until it those few seconds were over.

Rose screamed and collapsed, holding her lower stomach. The Doctor rushed to her side. "You shot her. I told you to put down your gun. You shot her!" He yelled at the officer. The man was shocked. "I didn't- the creature. I meant to shoot the creature." The cop checked the sky, making sure the monster really was gone. The Doctor gathered Rose in his arms. He spoke to the man, but kept his eyes on Rose. "The creatures were leaving. I had everything under control until you pulled out your gun. Call somebody! Save her." The man pulled out his phone and spoke into it. "There's a woman down here who got shot. We need an ambulance." The Doctor was focused on Rose. She was crying. "It hurts so badly." Rose removed her hand to see her blue shirt now red in blood. The color had drained from her face and she was weak. "No." She whispered as she passed out. "Help me!" The Doctor screamed. The humans were standing about, unsure what to do. Sirens could be heard getting closer, but they couldn't come fast enough. "Help me." He repeated as the ambulance arrived. Two strong looking men jumped out of it and rushed to where the Doctor and Rose were. One scooped Rose up, running back to the van. "What happened?" The other asked. "She- she got shot. In the stomach. She passed out." The Doctor couldn't think straight, this couldn't be happening. "We've got to get her to the hospital. We don't know how long she can hold on without life support." The tenth Doctor watched the man place Rose on a stretcher and push it into the ambulance before he went in after her and shut the door. "You don't know how long- she's going to be ok right?" The Doctor asked, his hearts beating fast. "We won't know until we can get her check out. We have to go. If you want, you can meet us at the hospital." The man ran to the van, climbing into the driver's seat. The Doctor watched it drive away with Rose inside. It turned left onto the main road and went out of view. The Doctor was breathing heavy, he had to get Rose. He had to save her. The time lord ran to the TARDIS, stepping inside and going to the controls. "We're coming for you Rose." The Doctor hit a button and the TARDIS was off. A few seconds later, it landed. The Doctor ran out, and cheered. "I'm in the right place for once." He grinned, Rose would have laughed. The Doctor parked the TARDIS on the back side of the local hospital, and hurried to the front. He watched as an ambulance pulled up to the doors. The man that carried Rose got out and opened up the back end. An unknown man got out and pulled the stretcher along. Rose was lying still on the flat sheet, her eyes closed. The man held an air mask to her mouth. They were forcing her to breath; it was the only way she was keeping alive.

The tenth Doctor ran into the waiting room. People were gathered in small groups. Some crying on each other's shoulders, others quietly sitting. The walls of the hospital were white and the chairs tan. Rose didn't belong here, it couldn't happen. Not here. "Where is she? Where is Rose Tyler?" He ran up to the front desk. "Sir, she's in the ER, you're going to have to wait." No, he had to see her. "Please, you don't understand. I need to see her. What if she- and I'm not there. Please?" The women looked at the Doctor. Her eyes looked tired; working in a hospital took a lot out of you. The lady sighed. "I know what it's like to lose one you love. Rose Tyler is in room 39, hurry. They aren't sure how much time she has." The Doctor thanked her and ran off down the halls. He found the room and ran inside. It too was white and the only sound was a slow beep coming from the machine beside Rose's bed. Rose. Her eyes were closed and the blanket was pulled up to her chin. There were tubes from her noise to a separate machine, making her breath. The Doctor looked anywhere but the bed, this wasn't right. He pulled up a chair next to the bed. Rose awoke and gave a painful smile to the Doctor. "All of time and space, and I get shot by a bloody human." The Doctor took Rose's hand. "It's not your fault Rose, it's mine. You were fighting Kobs. I should have stopped the shot. But you're going to be fine." Her heartbeat was gradually getting slower, but Rose was too busy coughing to notice. "Good there's places that need saving." The Doctor smiled. "I'll have to take you to Panama. It's a small planet where the flowers change colors when you walk by." The Doctor knew she would never see the flowers. Rose smiled. But then she glanced at her body. It was purple and blue. Her left arm had an IV in it and the beeping was slower than she thought. Rose's eyes got big, like she was remembering something. Her eyes turned sad as she looked away from the Doctor. "It's time isn't it? I'm about to die, aren't I?"

The Doctor nodded, the question surprised him. She had been near death so many times, but this time she just knew. Rose started to cry. "I knew this day would come soon." The Doctor wiped away a tear. The beeping was getting slower and he didn't know how much time they had left. "Doctor?" She whispered. Beep. Beep. "If I'm gone, that leaves you all alone." Beep. "I know." The Doctor hated to be alone. He remembered when he first met Rose. She told him he wasn't going to be alone again. "You listen to me. You were so brave ok? You have done so many things other humans can't even dream about. I'll never forget you Rose." Rose smiled, but the Doctor could tell it was painful. "I hope not." She was so young, so human. She couldn't die. "You'll be fine." He kissed her hand. It was cold. Rose pulled her hand away. "Don't lie to me! I know I'm about to die. I've known one day I would die. I'm not like you; I can't just close my eyes and then be ok. I have to die." Rose covered her face with her hands. Beep. Beep. "Rose." She didn't uncover her face. "You know it's not like that. When I regeneration I lose who I am. I become a new person. I change everything about me. You remember what it was like last time. How painful it was for both of us. It will always be like that." His voice was going out. "But next time, I won't have you." Rose took her hands away and grabbed the Doctors. "If I had a choice, I would never leave you."

The tenth Doctor smiled. Rose closed her eyes again. "I'm so tired." She whispered. "Fall asleep." Rose repositioned, lying on her side with her hand under the pillow. "You'll wake me?" The Doctor nodded yes, he couldn't speak. Rose was pale; her blonde hair was almost white. Rose Tyler was dying, and there was nothing he could do about it. He had so many dreams, nightmares, about Rose dying. Some had been slow and painful, others she had died of old age. The Doctor had been at her side in everyone. "I just want you to know, you're one of the best people I've ever met." He told her, hoping she was still with him. Rose's eyelids opened and he breathed a sigh of relief. The Doctor's cheek was wet and Rose slowly wiped it. He shivered when she touched him. "And traveling with you…" She couldn't go on. Rose coughed some more. She gripped where the bullet injected. "There were so many places I was going to take you. So many people you were going to meet." Rose's breaths were shaky now. A look crossed over her face. A look that made Rose cry harder than ever. "I'm so sorry Doctor." The Doctor was confused. "What, Rose you aren't making any sense?" it was getting harder for Rose to breath, and she drew in a painful breath. "It will Doctor." The time traveler knitted his eyebrows together. "What are you sorry for?"

well? how did you like it?
