Okay so the story that the doctor will tell Rose in the next chapter is actually supposedly a true story. i read it in this book i got about vampires, didn't have much to work with but i couldn't resist sending rose and the doctor there! if your interested in it, just Google something like 'William Newbrugh vampire' or something. but you will have to wait and see :)
this MAY contain a slight bit of romance/fluff, well that's how i see it in my head but im just making it up as i go along so we'll see :)
10 is sexy and so are vampires, so that's not too much to complain about ;D
i will stear clear of annoying 10rose-ness, cause it can be very annoying so don't worry. BBUUUTTT if you ask for it. i will add it at the end, but ill talk about that later on.
there will be whump
please excuse my AWFUL spelling
please tell me what you think.
i don't take fanfic MAJORLY serious so don't take this story too seriously, just a bit of fun really :)
i don't think this will have a happy ending either, but i haven't decided yet :)
enjoy

Chapter One- Nice parking
Rose observed herself in the mirror, after adding the last touches of make up to her face. she smiled as she listened to the Doctor in the control room, singing some pop sounding song in a high pitched voice. He had woken in a pretty good mood today, so whatever adventure awaited them was bound to be good. she felt the excitement fill her just like every day in the TARDIS, and stepped out into the control room.
upon seeing her, he sang even louder with a smile on his face. flicking what appeared to be random controls making the room fill with music. she laughed and he span her around playfully. She didn't recognize the music, or lyrics or even the language. it was probably written centuries away on some far away planet. she couldn't help but be fascinated with the ridiculously diverse playlist of Favorite songs that the doctor stored away in the TARDIS.
they laughed and danced together for afue moments before the doctor finally asked with a smile
"so any particular place you want to go today?"
"actually" she said "i was thinking maybe we could go to the beach?"
"brilliant idea!" he shouted "nice bit'a sunshine, go for a swim. and if your really lucky" he entered coordinates into the TARDIS "i may even buy you an ice cream"
she laughed and the TARDIS jerked into flight, forcing her to hold on to the control panel.
"i know this great little planet that's wonderful for the beach" he practically shouted, also hanging on "you'll love it, fantastic tourist spot"
the TARDIS continued to throw them around.
"so we wont be kidnapped by mental aliens trying to kill you, like always?" she teased
"well," he winked at her with a cheeky smile "no promises" and the TARDIS landed with a thump, sending them both flying backwards onto the floor.
they stepped out of the TARDIS, still giggling.
then the smell hit them.
"oh nice parking!" rose said sarcastically.
the doctor looked up and understood.
"ah" he said, mouth open like a goldfish
they were on earth, it was pitched black and they were somewhere in the 11th century.
"it bloody stinks" rose said wrinkling her nose.
"well" said the doctor "i bet they still have beaches"
she couldn't help but laugh and they closed the TARDIS doors and walked onward. they hardly ever turned back whenever the doctor had miscalculated their destination. it was more fun when you didn't know where you were really going anyway.
they carried on walking and talking for a while, trying to keep there voices low, as they walked through the small quiet village at night.
"so where-when do you think we are?" asked rose i a hushed tone
"well" said the doctor, talking in his dark surroundings. "id say... 11th century England. probably about.." he sniffed in the air "1164? 65? give or take."
"OI!" whispered a woman's voice from far to the left. the doctor and rose diverted their eyes to the only source of light, where the woman's head was poking out of a dull lit window. "what the hell are you two doin' out 'ere?" she asked.
"actually, were a bit turned around" said the doctor approaching her "could you tell us where we are?"
she gave him a funny look
"your in Fordham" she said "look, just get inside, its too dangers 'ere at night'
"whats dangerous?" he asked and the woman looked around nervously
"aint you 'ered? there's that bloody vampire on the loose!"
Rose pressed her lips together in a tight line trying to hide her smile. no wonder the doctor always makes witty remarks on how stupid humans are to believe in the supernatural. Do people actually think there is a vampire, just wondering around at night? it appeared so. The woman nervously whispered
"look just get in side, alright?" and slammed her window shut for the night.
She looked up at the doctor and quietly started to giggle, but his face showed no humor.
"wait" she said "don't tell me you actually believe her?"
"you don't?" he asked.
"A vampire? you're kidding me right?" Her voice was still humorous 'Should i be looking out for the boogie man too?"
"You're pretty skeptical for someone who has personally met a ware wolf" He said at her raising his eyebrows.
She stopped laughing.
This was a very good point, and before meeting the doctor she would have laughed off the idea of aliens too.
"Yeah, but" she explained, but he interrupted her.
"Do you think you're people just make this stuff up? it would take quite an imagination." He started to ramble. "Plus i know plenty of nasty diseases, that have similar side effects. I mean, there's even one that makes you seem entirely dead for about 3 days too a week, and by that time you could wake up buried alive. It only takes one extraterrestrial visit to start an outbreak"
"Doctor"
"Plus everything's so gory in this century, full of diseases and death"
"Doctor"
"Pretty hard to avoid without the immune system of a time lord if you ask me"
"DOCTOR" said rose, grabbing on to his hand. "Is now really the best time to be talking about all the possibilities?!"
"Oh" he said quietly "Sorry"
"Are you too lost?" Asked a voice from a dark corner.
A young, wealthy looking woman stepped out from the dark. she wore a long blueish-grey dress and wore pale makeup with red lips. her curly red hair was tied neatly up in a formal looking bun.
"You should probably be indoors" She was slightly smiling.
"Ah, yes." Said the Doctor "We recently discovered that. Actually, do you know of any places we could stay?"
"No inns will open their doors at this hour. I assume you have heard about all of this vampire business" She rolled her eyes. "Nonsense if you ask me. Just paranoia and rumors. You are very welcome to stay at my home though, I run a sort of bed and breakfast here" She offered "I have more than enough room and it is an awfully chilly night"
"Well, actually" Said the doctor in a rather positive tone, looking at rose for approval.
"Beats bein out 'ere." She said.
"We'd love too then" Smiled the Doctor "If its no trouble, We'll pay you of course"
"No trouble at all!" Smiled the woman. "My name is Prudence, Prudence Cartwright' She held out her hand.
"Lovely name, just like the Beatles song!' He said mainly to Rose "i'm the Doctor"
"I'm Rose Tyler, nice to meet you Prudence." Rose was glad to have made an Allie in this town, the TARDIS was quite a distance away and she didn't fiance having her neck nibbled on anytime soon.
"You're both welcome to stay as long as you want, Doctor.. Tyler?' She asked.
"No, no, just the Doctor. So how long has this vampire rumor been going on?' They started to walk.
"Its been going on for some months now" said Prudence, in her velvet posh voice. "I'm quite sure there is a killer or animal in the area, but probably not a vampire'
They walked and made idle conversation until they got to her house.
It was large, plenty of room like she said, but its dark and Gothic look didn't help Rose's nerves. she knew it was for nothing though, and their new friend confirmed her original thoughts. Only its hard not to be afraid while walking though the streets of and English medevil village, with some killer or animal on the loose. She was glad to have the doctor holding her hand, and pulling her just that little bit closer when walking though a particularly dark area. She would never admit to being afraid though just because it was night.
And this would be a long night. To the Doctor and Rose, it still felt like morning, and they would have a hard time adjusting. But the dark did make them feel slightly sleepy, and Prudence's hospitality was comforting. she must be lonely in such a large house.
The Doctor wasn't feeling at all fased by the thought of vampires and killers, but he was more than used to it.
He was more excited with learning about this village, because he knew exactly what the vampire story was, and he knew how it ended too. this village was the start of the vampire myth.
