This is my next installment, very interesting, rewrote it about three times. Don't worry though, its very good, very enjoyable, I hope.

I have a very scattered brain, so I wrote down the back story to Alice today. took up a whole page in a word document. too bad you don't get to read it for probably another...ten chapters. :)

With great pride, I give you the next chapter, and a warning, I will NOT be posting from June 11 through June 17. I have to go to a science camp to get stuff that looks good on applications for college.(and for those who don't know, I am a terrible speller, bare with me, I'm working on it.)

Jack was at his desk in an instant. Pulling the drawing from her hands and throwing it into a drawer. Taking her hands, holding them tightly, studied her face. Eyes wide like a deer, face drained of color, Alice looked as if she'd seen a ghost. Jack tried to pull her out of it, talking to her gently, patting her arms, waving his hands in front of her eyes, nothing was really working out. So Jack finally asked what was going on inside her head.
"What it is, Alice? Why does that creature scare you SO much, that it's drawing puts you in panic shock?" He wasn't really expecting a reply, but when her lips parted and her eyes focused, he was listening to her every word.
" it's... It's from the place that I came... It was the reason I was running, why I scream at night, why I fear being alone in the dark. It's known by many names, but the one I remember is... King of the Dark Hall."
"What's the Dark Hall?"
"I don't know. Why would I?"
"Because you just... Alice, you were just talking about him."
"Well I know his name, not anything about him, gees Jack, I'm not Wikipedia." Jack was frustrated that she had only small grasps of information, but relieved that she was joking, meaning her panic was over.

"Jack! We've got rift activity!" Tosh was at her computer, watching the signal moving. She whirled around in her chair, awaiting orders.
"... Alright, Alice! Are you alright on your own? We gotta go!"
"Yeah! I'll be fine, but you'd better get me some freaking pizza, Jack! I know where you should be sleeping!" Even when she is unwell, she always has a comeback. Jack had no choice but to leave Ianto at the desk and get the girl some promised pizza.
"Ianto, you heard the girl!" Nodding, Ianto pulled out his phone and ordered her favorite, pepperoni, sausage, and olives, Chicago style. Then ran up to his desk, grabbing keys, and said he was coming.
"But who's going to stay with Alice?"
"Jack, she's sixteen, leave her by herself!" Ianto hated being left behind to play babysitter with someone who can watch themselves. Especially since he was the only one who could watch her now, besides Jack.
"I thought you said that already! Leave me be, it'll be quiet for once in this building!" Alice loved when the whole team was gone, because it was her free time to go hang around in the city. She hated when people watched her, and so many problems had arisen that it was safer that way. Owen was never allowed to watch her again. EVER. When Jack came back from the mission they were on, and found Owen sleeping in the bed in just pants; Jack never trusted him with that duty again. When Tosh showed Alice how to work EVERY piece of machinery in Torchwood and she nearly killed herself with the items inside the vault; Jack was not going to let another member watch her except Ianto.
"Fine. Alice will stay, you all will go. Happy?"
"Jack, we need to go." Gwen knew if he didn't leave now he'd never go.
Sighing in defeat, he knew that his team would probably start dragging him out if he didn't leave soon. Taking the keys from Ianto, he walked out and into the office with the outside door.
This was Alice's chance to go have a night on the town, and she was going to enjoy it. She was going to go to a museum.

Jack came back to headquarters with a rush to see if Alice was still alive. When he found her, she was sitting on the bed with her phone. Not sure what was going on, he left her to sit there. Wandering down the stairs again, he noticed how early it was. Since the team had a successful recovery of Janet, he decided to let the team go early tonight.
"Alright team," yelling out so that his team could hear every word, "Go home, go party, go do whatever you do when you're not here." everyone grumbled, but didn't argue, knowing this was a once in a life time opportunity with work. So they got their stuff and left for the evening. Gwen paused for a moment, turning to look at Alice, with an expression of sadness. She quickly ran up to Alice's quarters and gave her a big hug which caused Alice to lose her control. She started to cry into Gwen, holding on to her tightly. That was the one thing Jack was never able to see; when Alice needed someone to hold on to.
Gwen knew the look that possessed the girl's face was that of heartbreak. She knew that she had needed comfort, because Jack was not able to see it. She didn't ask, just hugged the poor girl. Gwen gave Jack a look that told him to shove off.
Feeling like he was invading, Jack left them a moment of peace while he went to file the newest Janet hunt.
Just as Jack was getting ready to come check on them, Gwen was yelling,
" JACK! Jack, something's wrong! Hurry!" Dashing from the lower levels and up to his shared loft, Jack made it in time to see Alice release a golden light from her mouth. Jack knew what this meant, and he didn't very much like it either. He knew only one person this happened to, and what happened to him when it started.
"Gwen, I've seen this before, she'll be alright, I promise. It's just something that happens when... you go through the rift, she's fine. Gwen, I'll take it from here, you go home for awhile, remember, don't lose your life."
"you're sure she's alright? She was saying some odd things before you ran up..."
"What things?"
"Well, the one clear babble i understood was, 'Doctor, warn the other earth, their coming through..."

I would like to thank BananaLollypop for reviewing my most recent chapter, I do believe xDemonChickx would have, if she'd(I hope) had the chance before this update. I would like to say that I will be trying to post a chapter every other day or so for awhile,(TRY, key word there) than probably more to once a week. Schools out for me right now, so I have lots of free time, but I will be very busy with dance in a few days, and so I will not be on time with every chapter, sorry.

Thanks for reading!
