A/N: Thank you Phantom Serenity for being the first to review I really appreciate it. I don't like this chapter because I think it is kinda rubbish but I'll just wait and see what you guys think of it.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, not even the laptop I'm writing this on.


"So Owen, anything interesting happening" asked Ianto looking over Owens shoulder to see what he was examining

"That looks interesting what's that?"

"I don't know, I'm just looking through the box of unidentified stuff" said Owen chucking what looked like a lump of flashing metal back into the box.

"Do you need any help?"

"You're asking me if I need any help looking at unidentified alien stuff"

Gwen span around in her chair "it's really just that boring" she said in a sing-song voice

"Do you want to talk or something?"

"No but I could do with another coffee"

"Oh ok"

Gwen watched as Ianto walked away to get yet another batch of coffee "This is so DULLLLL" she yelled dramatically "Ianto is just making tea, this is what his 5th batch now"

"6th"

"Whatever, you're just looking at things you've seen about a thousand times-"

"That's not true. Besides look on the Brightside Gwen, at least we're not in Russia catching hypothermia"

"Is that meant to cheer me up?"

"Kinda, did it work?"

Gwen stood up and stretched "No not really. Look I'm going to count coffee beans with Ianto or something ok"

Owen just shook his head watching her walk away and continued looking at the artefacts.

Rose's first coherent thought as she came round which wasn't actually very, was that she felt dizzy and tired, very tired. She cracked open an eye and groaned as the bright light assaulted her vision causing her already painful headache to worsen.

She instantly knew that wherever she was that she was inside of a building of some sort. which isn't necessarily a good thing in her experience of being kidnapped or transported into the unknown. She wondered what actually happened, one minute she was at her desk in Torchwood and now, well she's here, wherever here is. Her headache pounded furiously and she lifted a hand to her head.

A huge furry hand.

"WHAT!" she shrieked jumping up on to her feet. She looked down feeling unusually shorter than usual and saw four huge feet.

"NO! No no, wait its ok I'm dreaming yer I must be dreaming that's all, keep calm I'll just have to pinch myself"

Rose looked down and her four legs and sighed, "Somehow...Well maybe bite myself, but it doesn't matter because it's not real" Rose lifted a paw to her mouth and bit down, hard.

"OUCH! AH AH! Ok oh my god this must be real b-but how" suddenly she stopped rigid as she remembered the last two words she heard in her office before blacking out.

"Bad Wolf" she whispered

Rose looked around frantically and saw a beautiful tail with golden swirls decorating creamy white fur; she looked at it in awe before suddenly realising it was attached to her body.

"Please no!" she begged running to a full body mirror. She stared into it and saw a giant wolf staring back at her.

She promptly fainted.


The doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and took in his surroundings "So here we are Ponds Cardiff and if my piloting skills are as perfect as usual it should be 2011"

Amy walked out of the TARDIS with Rory in tow and squinted her eyes against the harsh sunlight "How long are we going to be here Doctor?"

"Oh about a day and a bit. Leaving the universe took a lot out of the old girl" he said stroking the TARDIS door

Rory looked around "we're just outside the millennium centre. So where is the rift?"

"Well it's invisible of course Rory; people don't just walk past the rift stick their heads in and leave you know. The TARDIS can pick up the radiation from here"

"So how come there's a rift in Cardiff, was it always here"

"Fantastic Rory, always asking the right Questions, you see, 1869 I came to Cardiff, it was so long ago, but anyway I managed to run into some creatures called the Gelth who came through the rift. I tried to help them but found out that the Gelth were in fact much more populous than they first claimed to be, and they intended to slaughter the entire human race to provide themselves with inhabitable corpses, but to cut a long story short Gwyneth a servant girl in the parlour, a very brave girl who grew up on the rift sacrificed herself and sealed the Rift which apparently killed the Gelth."

Amy looked at the Doctor in awe "She saved the world. A servant girl. No one will ever know."

The Doctor sighed sadly and looked down

"Are you ok Doctor?"

"Yer, just remembering..." he trailed off

"Remembering what?

The Doctor suddenly clapped and smiled "Well ponds, we're here so you might as do something, go on Rory show Amy some of the sights, and have fun consider it a break from potential life threatening situations"

Amy turned to Rory and took his hand "Cool I've never been to Cardiff before"

"Never?"

"Nope"


Owen yawned rubbing his eyes "I'm going home"

Ianto looked up from his laptop "Ok let's call Gwen and then lock this place up"

"Alright then"

Gwen walked down a hallway not really having a destination in mind but just wanting a bit of space, as much as she adored Ianto and Owen she missed jack a bit but knew what he was doing was important and besides he had Tosh with him. She carried on walking but immediately stopped and gasped when she spotted a white and gold heap on the floor. Cautiously she edged towards it to get a better view of what it was, she creeped closer and saw a massive wolf lying in front of her and screamed

"AAAHHHH!".

"I'll just go call Gwen" Ianto said

"AAAHHHH!"

"Was that Gwen?" asked Ianto

"She probably saw a spider or something"

Ianto started panicking "what if it's something serious Owen what if it's something only jack can deal with, GOD WHAT IF-"

"Ianto shut up and come on" he yelled running out the room.

Rose felt groggy and opened her eyes feeling nauseous as the room seemed to spin. She heard footsteps, several surprised gasps and a 'what the hell is that!'

"Oh crap" she groaned bolting upright as the events of the past hour came rushing back to her.

"How did that get in here" shouted Owen

Ianto watched the creature with wide eyes. "As soon as jack leaves this happens"

Gwen watched the wolf frozen in shock; she quickly stepped backwards to stand beside Owen and Ianto

"Nobody move" whispered Owen slowly.

"What is it?"

"How am I suppose to know Gwen" Owen whispered through gritted teeth keeping his eyes on the creature

Suddenly Ianto whipped out what looked like a small tranquilizer dart gun and shot the wolf, which yelped and sprinted from its spot back up the hallway.

Rose was terrified and kept on running as fast as she could trying to get as far away from those people as possible, not knowing whether they wanted to harm her or not.

"OW" she growled and turned to see what was causing her so much pain. She saw a dart sticking out of her... well whatever a wolf's equivalent to a bum would be. She carried on running hoping to find an exit of some sort, needing to get out of here and find some answers to what had happened to her.

"W-where did you get a tranquilizer dart from Ianto?"

"I'm prepared"

"Wow" was all Gwen could manage "So what do we do now?"

Owen crouched down and examined a bit of fur on the floor "Wait for the tranquilizer to kick in I suppose"

"Will the tranquilizer knock it out, I mean did you see the size of that thing it was huge it must be alien"

"It's heading towards the holding cells maybe we can lock it up when it's knocked out" suggested Owen

"Or we could call jack"

"What so he thinks that we're not capable of looking after ourselves"

"He said that we should call if anything happens"

"And we will but let's just get it locked up first so that it doesn't wake up and eat us"

"Alright"

"Don't hurt it"

"WHAT!" both Ianto and Owen said looking at Gwen

"I don't know it just seems special, like it has this air about it..." she trailed off "Don't look at me like that, I don't know it's just weird"

Whatever" shrugged Owen.

Rose ran fuelled by adrenaline, terrified about what would happen if she got caught, but she started to slow down and feel dizzy as the tranquillizer took effect. Her legs felt like lead and she collasped to the ground her vision starting to tunnel and eyelids drooping. Finally the darkness took her over once again.

"So when do you think it should take effect" asked Gwen

"Well anytime now"

"What if it doesn't work?"

"It will and if-" Ianto was interrupted by a loud thump

"Was that it" asked Owen

"Only one way to find out" said Gwen

Owen stood up "Ianto get a stun gun in case and let's go"

They all made their way to where they last saw the wolf and stopped

"So do we carry on going up this corridor Owen?" asked Gwen

"Only way to find it"

They carried on walking until they could make out the wolf lying in a heap on the floor at the other end and the all stopped and stared.

Owen spoke up first "So that's it." He breathed "Ianto give me the stun gun. I'm going to make sure that it's knocked out"

Ianto handed the gun to Owen. Gwen looked at Owen and frowned

"You're going on your own"

"Yep" he replied examining the gun

"But-"

"Look Gwen, it'll be louder if we all go up and anyway if we all go up all of us will get eaten and not just me"

"That's not funny Owen"

"I'll be fine I've got this see" he said waving the gun around. "I'll just stun it and we can run like hell if anything happens"

He approached the wolf carefully and gave it a gentle shove with his foot and moved back watching the wolf but it didn't move."Ok" he said wearily putting the stun gun back into its holster "you guys can come over now it's safe, I think"

"So we put it in a holding cell now" said Gwen

"Yer there should be some around here" Owen said looking around

Ianto watched Gwen nod to a spot past Owens shoulder. He followed her line of sight and saw what she was looking at, and a corner of his mouth lifted as he watched Owen continuing to look up and down the hallway agitated.

"Come on guys help me look"

Owen looked up at Gwen and Ianto, and turned around to see that they're looking at a holding cell behind him.

"Oh..."he trailed off

Gwen and Ianto busted out laughing as they saw the realisation dawn on his face

"Looks like we're in luck"

"Gwen can you open the door, me and Ianto will drag it in ok"

Ianto nodded and they took a leg each and pulled the wolf inside cell

Gwen waited for them to come out and closed the door sealing it so that it was almost impossible to escape "So we wait for it to wake up and go from there"

"Yeah but I'll call jack first before Ianto starts to beg"

"Why would I beg?" questioned Ianto puzzled

"Because you can't wait for jack to come back so that you can continue your 'activities' " he quoted with his fingers

Ianto blushed and looked down
