Chapter Three: The Dance and Coming To
Rose looked at John as he stuttered his request. It was sweet and she considered it. She felt drawn to him, attached and she barely knew him. It scared her, because she remembered feeling the same for her husband. His words drifted off and he stared at her, waiting. She didn't answer for a moment, but then she smiled.
"I would love to John." She replied. He grinned a wide grin that reminded her of someone, and neither noticed the maid watching with jealous and worried eyes.
"I hope you know what your doing Mr. Smith." Martha murmered as she watched the couple walking off together. "While meeting your Rose is an eye opener, your in very real danger."
-DW-DW-DW-DW-DW-
Rose felt awkward as she modeled her dress for her aunt. The woman was looking at her proudly, but she felt like a beached whale, whatever that was.
"You look wonderful darling." Joan murmered, pride in her voice. "No one can doubt you are a true lady." Ros looked away as she was reminded of her title. The Headmaster had only accepted her offer to help her aunt because of her medical knowledge and to amuse her. She was not part of the staff, and was treated with far more respect then her aunt or the others. It was unfair.
"That she does. May I please escort my lovely partner to the dance?" He asked. Rose blushed and Joan smiled.
"Of course sir." She replied, nudging her neice a little. John took her by the hand and smiled.
"You look stunning Rose. Now to see if I can dance." He replied. Rose grinned.
"I'm sure you'll do fine." She replied, seeing him and her dancing in stage clothing, then her and another man, whilst someone watched in her minds eye. As quick as the images came they were gone, and then they were heading to the dance.
-DW-DW-DW-DW-DW-
A veil lifted itself from her mind as her 'aunt' came in, flushed and worried. She wasn't Lady Rose Tyler-Harkness of the 1930's, but Rose Tyler-Harkness of the 20th century and her Doctor, the father of her child was standing next to her, human. The Family of blood was there after him. She looked over to where the maid, Martha was entering and a hard look entered her eyes as she noticed the determined glint in the other womans eyes. She would get the Doctor caught accidently if she didn't act. She excused herself from her date and headed towards Martha.
"Say nothing about his identity. The Family is watching." Se hissed to the londener as she arrived. Martha looked at her oddly.
"You're yourself now? There was something odd about your perfect behavior Rose. I could tell who you were from his stories and your pictures." Martha whispered back.
"I had hidden myself and my child within myself, as to not draw attention to us. My child is still clocked from their senses, but John must remain hidden!" She replied, as the the doors burst open and the possessed townsfolk entered. Martha blanched as they demanded to speak to John and Rose made her way over stealthily. Her Doctor would not be harmed.
"Talk to us Proffessor Smith. What do you know of the Doctor?" The boy asked. Rose kept her features blank as John held her. She noticed Timothy shifting though and cursed. He must have found whatever the Doctor had been using to clock himself. The Doctor was in danger with the child so near. Suddenly she was grabbed, and found herself with a gun to her head.
"You will tell us what we want to know Professor or your lover will die." The boy demanded. Rose didn't respond, even though she saw the panic forming in the human doctor's eyes. The other guests were gasping in horror and her 'Aunt' looked ill. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Timothy jump and knew she had to do something. She almost chuckled as she thought of how paranoid her alter self was as she removed a dagger from the side of her seam. The blade itself was more of a scythe in design, however the handle was rather unbalanced, making throwing difficult, but she wasn't throwing them. She had to be quick about this, and her movements precise, with how he was holding her if she stabbed wrong, he would fire and she would be dead, so would her son and daughter. No she couldn't think about her children now. She angled the knife and stabbed upwards, ducking and grabbing the weapon. She'd pulled it from the alien's grasp and had it trained on him in seconds, the guests were gasping as the other Family members pointed their weapons at her. She smirked, her dagger covered in the boys blood as he looked at her. HE cocked his head to the side.
"You hurt me Matron Tyler-Harkness. I seem to require medical attention. Put down the weapon." He ordered. She raised an eyebrow.
"You were threatening to kill me Cadet. I don't think so. Why don't you're friends take care of you after you leave?" She replied calmly. she noticed Martha taking Timothy and smiled inwardly. She was a smart one. She was glad her Doctor had competent help. Suddenly John was taking the gun she had confiscated and the Father took aim. Rose threw her dagger and drew it's companion as the possessed man went down. The Mother looked at the two wounded males and suddenly they were leaving.
"Are you alright Rose?" her 'aunt' asked. Rose nodded, fiddeling wither remaining dagger.
"I'm fine Matron Redfern." She replied firmly. Joan nodded uneasiy and suddenly John was holding her.
"I thought I was going to lose you Rose." He murmered, sounding so alike her Doctor. Martha cleared her throat.
"We should get somewhere safer and Miss Rose should rest This stress cannot be good for er child." She spoke softly, holding Timothy's hand. He was looking at Rose in awe. She smiled at him gentley.
"we should return to the school." She replied. Martha looked ready to protest, but Rose silenced her with a look, this was not the time to argue. Returning to the Tardis would only put them in danger. They needed to get to the school and lay low until the Family ran out of time. She had dealt with a version of them in her world, they had wanted her children and she had to figure out how to tap into her power and put the pregnancy into stasis, otherwise she would have birthed them before she arrived here four months ago. John nodded, not letting her go, she was glad of that, her almost death experience had scared her, even though she wouldn't admit it.
