The sky is on fire, burning red, though her internal clock claims it is night. Her lungs are tight and her throat is coated with dust from the collapsed building. Breathing burns, and she can't look behind her because she's lying against the cracked earth and her leg is trapped beneath a slab of rock and it's covered in blood. There are people moaning all around her and she's pretty sure the man next to her is almost dead. His limbs are beginning to glow orange, but he's almost completely under a slab of rock, and will regenerating really help?
To distract herself, she looks up, hoping to see Time Lord battle ships flying through the air, maybe coming to her rescue. Instead, the sky is filled with pepper pot-shaped things, all flying towards the capitol building. "EXTERMINATE" fills the air, and she squeezes her eyes shut, hoping against all hopes that they won't see her. A shadow falls, and she thinks to herself, "This is it. It's all over." But then she feels the weight on her leg lifting, and warm arms are wrapping around her and lifting her up.
"Come on, we have to run," she hears, and for the first time in a long while she feels safe, like everything is going to be ok. Then, there's a flash of blue light, a scream of pain, and she's falling, falling, and her body is on fire, blistering, stretching, charring, burning—
Zöenna wakes up screaming, and, almost instantly, there are two pairs of strong arms wrapped around her. She's being pulled into Rose's soft curves, and The Doctor's black leather jacket.
"Shhhhh, sweetie, it's ok. You're safe," Rose whispers into her shoulder.
"The Time War is over Zöe, you're in the TARDIS." There's a soft hum—the TARDIS offering her own attempt at comfort.
Zöe hiccups, and sobs out, "I was safe. You were rescuing me, b-but a Dalek came and it…" she trails off into more sobs. Rose pulls her tighter, blonde locks falling over the redhead's shoulder and tickling her neck. Zöe relaxes into the embrace, hands still clutching at black leather.
"Come on sweetie," Rose whispers, tugging her down so that they're lying flat on the bed. For a moment, Zöe feels harsh ground, but then it fades into the softness of her own bed. Rose and The Doctor curl protectively around her, and they each drop a kiss onto her head.
