I am so terribly sorry for the long wait. I don't know what happened. I've re-written this chapter like 20 times and I'm still not pleased. But I decided to put this one up because, well. I couldn't handle re-writing it again. Cause no matter what I did, I just hated it. And it's still really short, which I also hate, but I hope you like it.

"Remember me yet, little wolf?"
Rose took a step backwards, away from the Doctor and Loki.
"Why do you call me that?" Loki's grin disappeared from his lips.
"That is what you are, after all." She shook her head.
"No, I was. I'm not anymore." Loki's laughter echoed throughout the TARDIS,
"You are what you are, Bad Wolf, and all you can do is accept it." She didn't know what to do. He couldn't possibly know about Bad Wolf, it was impossible. Rose looked away from them in a try to clear her thoughts. She would've known if he had been there, with the time vortex running through her mind she would have seen him. But she had no memory of him. Rose bit her tongue, playing with it as she usually did when her mind was elsewhere. Even if he cloaked himself in some way, she still would have seen him. So how did he know?
"Do not touch me, you puny human." He growled as the doctor tried to help him up, Rose glanced back at the two of them and raised an eyebrow. She crossed her arms and took a deep breath.
"He's not." She said, which earned her a stare or two. "Human, I mean. He's not human. I am." Loki laughed painfully as he stood up, leaning against a pillar.
"Stop telling lies, little wolf." Rose was about to tell him off when he hushed her, "I am in no condition to argue, let me rest and I shall recover some of my dignity." The doctor shrugged and walked off, leaving her alone with him.
"Fine." She started walking up the stairs and looked behind her at Loki, who was still leaning against the pillar, "Are you coming?"
Slowly they made their way forward and after some time they arrived at the spare rooms. Loki, being a few steps behind, had to stop and breathe. His ribs were definitely cracked, at least some of them, and one was crushing against his lung, which hurt like hell. But the rest was mostly bruises and smaller wounds. Nothing permanent. But he would need to heal himself using magic. After calming his pulse he finally walked up to the waiting woman.
"So, this will be your room for the night." She said, and just as she was about to leave, he grabbed her arm.
"Won't you join me?" He purred, unwillingly she shivered from his smooth voice and had to look away from his eyes. "I could use the company." Another shiver followed.
"No," She said lowly and faced him again. "I don't think you're in the right condition for that." And with a strength she didn't know she possessed, she pulled her arm out of his grip. "Good night." And with that, she stormed off.
Rose floated in the water, staring into the space above her. She followed the galaxies and counted the stars. Her mind wandered back and forth but no matter how hard she thought about it, she had no explanation for how he could know. There were only two people who knew about Bad Wolf, and she was one of them and the other was the doctor. Her eyes focused on a blue spot in space and she jumped out of the water. She could always ask him. Since he seemed to know a lot more than she did.
"Doctor?" She shouted, standing around the console board. "Doctor?" She shouted again, but with no answer. And she wouldn't go and search for him, cause she knew she'd only get lost. She sighed in defeat and walked back into her room.
In the night, Loki awoke. A low light was seen in the corner of his room and he sat up slowly, holding a protective hand over his ribcage. The light seemed to be burning with life as he inspected it. He jumped when it started humming, a soft tune that reminded him of a memory long ago. Against his will he fell down onto the bed and closed his eyes. And no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get up, his body refused. Not long after he fell asleep, not noticing that the pain in his ribs slowly disappeared.
Oh! And please! Please! Please! Give me some tips, what's going to happen next? Will the Doctor answer her questions? And why did he hide? Why does Loki know about Bad Wolf and what was that light?
What do you think?
Love - Sara
