Chapter 2 ~ Rose
As we ran up a dalek was motionless in the cupboard… "It's the shell, it's the shell of Clara" River looked at me stunned "What do you mean it's the 'shell' of clara?" River went to touch it, I told her no and went to stop her, but she did, "Ouch" she moved her hand immediately, leaving a glowing hand print on the surface of its shell. I swiftly took hold of her arm and shielded her with my body, the eye stalk of the Dalek began to turn to a deep blue, "No I cant have a live dalek in my tardis, the last Tardis"
It began to shake vigorously "D-d-doctor?" It didn't sound like a dalek is sounded like… a friend "Doctor who is that? Is it Clara?" River went to walk towards it so I grabs hold of her arm, tilted my head so it was facing the floor and shook my head, I then looked up in fear "Doctor!?" It spoke again, "I know that voice" I Walked towards in and looked into the eye stalk "Its cant be!" It repeatedly said my name over and over again, "Doctor I don't understand if its not clara then where is she and wh-" I cut her off by shushing her, "it- it- its not Clara, Its Rose"
"Doctor, your voice has changed, but your heart has not, one terrible night you counted the children on Gallifrey the day you ended it all" my fist clenched and I punched the shell of the dalek, I punched the shell containing Rose. "Did you ever count us?" I Looked into the eye stalk and released a confused expression "Count who? Count what" I Said "Bring me back Clara… NOW!" The head of the dalek seemed to move, pointing the eye stalk to the floor, as if shameful "I regret to say my dear space man I don't know where she is, I don't even know where I am, help me, please doctor, Help?" River then look my hand and looked me in the eyes "Rose? Rose Tyler, Your first Lo-" She stopped mid word as I began to nod, she then embraced me in a gentle hug… "I was going to find Gallifrey, I don't have time for this!" I expressed in an angry tone, then river straightened out my bowtie and asked a question, the second most important question in the universe "What's more important, Your Planet, your race… or Rose?" I whipped a tear that was rolling down my cheek and exclaimed "Rose Tyler… every time." I Looked into the eye stalk again "Rose count what count who?" the stalk looked straight back at me "Count all the companions you've lost?" of course I have, every night I recall all of my companions, it makes me weak, it makes me mad, I quickly changed the subject.
"Rose Tyler I will find you, i will also find Clara… and when I do, WHEN I do, I WILL save you."
"Doctor! Surely your planet is more important than some girl?" she said as I began to stroke the Dalek "And doctor my hand, it did something, it made IT activate… Doctor are you listening to me?" I turned only to see Rivers face with a new expression shown upon it, I could only guess it was a mixture of confusion and dread, "She is not an 'IT' River Song, she is Rose Tyler… Something has taken my friends from where they are supposed to be, and River Song that is much more important then the Time Lords! And you… you're a time traveller, probably the 'second' most important traveller in all of history, so when you touched the Dalek you created a link, a link so I could talk to Rose Tyler and find her once more!" I put each hand on the sides of Rivers head "Don't you see?" I let out a big grin and kissed her forehead.
"Rose, I will find you, and Clara, and that my friend is a promise!" I turned to run down the corridor when the Dalek began to speak, it wasn't roses voice anymore, it was that of a Dalek "D-d-d-doctor, tell me, are you afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" I stopped in my tracks and continued facing in the opposite direction of the dalek, "Because we're not" so… this proved to me that the Daleks had Clara and Rose, but where? How? Why!? "River get out…" she looked into my eyes and widened her own, "why?" I took hold of her shoulders, and put my forehead against hers, I warm tear feel down my left cheek and I pronounced "Because I'm about to do something that you don't need to see…" she nodded and headed down the steps back to the main console.
I began to laugh in front of the Dalek "Women 'ey." I chuckled some more as I removed the sonic from my jackets pocket, "Doctor, what are you going to do with that, assemble a cupboard at me?" I repetitively chucked the sonic up into the air, while catching it every time, I chuckled again "You know Dalek, you are very smart and very charming, but sometimes you are just thick… you see in all the time we've been speaking, well even before that, when I was speaking to Miss Tyler I began to scan, do you know what I was scanning for?... Your space ship… ohh and look!" I pressed the button on the side of the sonic and the tardis jolted, "Doctor! The Tardis its moving, im not doing anything" I heard river shouting from the console room… "And Dalek, if im very clever, and lets be honest I am, then im right where I need to be…"
I ran into the consoles room, "Come on, COME ON!" I yelled at the tardis as it was having difficulty landing, then River flicked a switch "You had the hazard jock on." I looked up at her and let out a huge smile, we began to materialise on the daleks space craft, I quickly flicked the shields on as we were landing, and luckily we had landed in the spot Rode was standing, she began to materialise in the Tardis, "Doctor?" She asked, she had her eyes closed and fell to the ground of the tardis floor, we've landed.
I whispered to myself "Rose" I quickly pulled myself together, fixed my bowtie and rushed over "Rose!" I cradled her in my arms, then held her face, her eyes were still closed, "Look at me Rose." Her mouth opened "I-i-i- I cant, demons run when a good man goes to war, no, Silence will fall when the question is asked, no, Doctor who, no, that's not it, are you afraid of the big bad wolf?" she opened her eyes, they were bright, just like when she was the big bad wolf, the heart of the tardis, it began to drip out of her, and made its way back into the console, she began to scream, "C'mon Rose!"
