Chapter 2 - The beginning

She was walking down the street heading to Canary Warf. She knew that this could be just another false alarm; she knew that she shouldn't get her hopes up, but her legs didn't seem to listen to her mind, they were folowing her heart's will. She was walking so fast that people on the street began staring at her, but she didn't care. It has been a whole year since she was here and this wouldn't be the first false alarm, but she couldn't bring herself to not hope that this was her chance. She never learned. Every time a new crack was apearing she got her hopes up; and when it ended up being just a false alarm, another pice of her was faiding. But she never lost faith. The only thing that she could think about in that moment was the Doctor. Her Doctor.

After what happened on Bad Wolf Bay, she wasn't going to back up from finding him. She missed him more with every day that was passing and she needed to find out what he was going to say right before he faded away. He said that geting back was impossible, but even he was sometimes wrong and she wanted to belive that this was one of that times. She wasn't going to give him up, especially now that he knew how she feels and she was very keen on keeping her promise of 'Forever'.

She entere the Torchwoob building full of hope. ''Please tell me you have some good news, Micks'' she told her friend and coworker.

''We just detected another crack through the Void. It seems big enough for you to get through'' he said.

''And what makes you think that we'll have more luck with this crack than the others?'' asked the rational part of herself while her emotional part was screaming to her to get to work.

'''Cause of the location, Rose'' he said with excitement ''The crack... it's at Bad Wolf Bay!''

Rose's heart began pounding so fast that she thought it might burst out of her chest. It was finally there... a path to get back; a message from herself to lead her back home, back to her Doctor.

''I want a car ready to drive me there and I want it yesterday'' she said in her Torchwood leader tone ''I'm going to bid my family goodbye and I want that car in front of the mansion when I'm ready'' and then added in a softer voice ''Thanks, Mickey!''

''Always, babe. Take care of yourself and say 'hi' to the Boss for me''

Rose just nodded, kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the building as fast as her legs could make it.

After half an hour of crying and goodbyes and a promise to her mother to 'warn 'imself that if he hurts my daughter I'm gonna rip the Void apart, find 'im and slap 'im to regeneration', Rose was finally in the car heading for Norway. She was sad that she was leaving her family behind, because she knew she'll never see them again, but she also knew that she couldn't live without the love of her life and the thought that she was going to see him again very soon was making her happy.

After almost three days of travelling, she was finally on the beach that brought up so much sorrow in her heart, but that will soon take her back to her Doctor. She didn't have any luggage, the only things that she would take with her being her phone, which was in her pocket and her TARDIS key, which was always hanging around her neck. Feeling that it was time to go, she activated the wristband that was conected to the Dimensional Cannon - a machenery that Torchwood built so she could get back to her Universe - closed her eyes and pressed the right button. She felt a light envelop her and then she felt the ground from under her feet shift. When she opened her eyes, she found herself surrownded by five very stunned and scared people, only one of them which she recognised.

''Jack?''
