"What the hell are you doing?" Rose asked her voice getting louder with each word. Her apartment was trashed, the sofa's had been moved, her table and chairs had been tipped over and magazines where lying across the floor in a mess. John was still tipping things out of antique boxes and chucking them on the floor.
"Looking for the Necklace of Arrai," John replied harshly. Rose froze at the words and she stared at John before lurching across the room towards him and spinning him around to face her. She grabbed his face with her hands and stared at him.
"Stop. It. Now." She growled at him. "You need to stop trashing my apartment by looking for something we both swore we would never use!"
"Oh yeah! Well I'm breaking that rule Rose. You know, I thought cos you're allowed to bend rules whenever you want that it applied to me too. Or is it just you that's important enough to do that?" He retorted to her viciously pulling out her grasp. Rose breathed in heavily and her nostrils flared.
"Let it go John. Let it go. Using the Necklace of Arrai is totally different to what I did today, it will have completely different consequences. But you know if you want to be a total idiot, go ahead. Who am I to stop you?" Rose snarled at him turning her back and swinging her shoulder bag around and marching back towards the door, just as she turned the handle she turned back to face him.
"You know John I thought maybe we could figure this out. Now I don't even know what you're going to do if you ever find the Necklace, I hope you get whatever the hell it is you want. I could have used that Necklace so many times over the last few years but I never did, and you know why that is? Because I knew how much I would let you down if I did. So I stopped myself, for you. Now I'm wondering why I even bothered." She said quietly knowing how harsh the words were but not able to stop herself.
She slipped out of the door and slammed it behind her, she ran down the stairs and out into the street allowing her feet to wonder wherever they pleased. She really didn't care where she was going and her tears blinded her vision. When she had finally forced herself to look up she was in the local park. She pushed the tears out of her eyes and slumped down on the bench, pulling out her phone and tapping in the number she had memorised years ago.
"Rose?" Ian's voice was filled with worry and Tyler snapped his head up and stared as Ian had come out from behind his desk and was pacing up and down the length of the office they worked in, his phone pressed to his ear.
"Wait, wait calm down okay, I can't hear a word your saying." Ian soothed her before pausing to listen his face turning from gentle worry to fierce concern.
"What's he going to do when he finds it? How can you not know? Didn't you ask? Okay yes, yes I'm sorry. You can't be sure he won't find it Rose, no you can't. You have to get back there and try to talk him out of it, yes you do. Well me and Tyler can't exactly do it can we? Please Rose, just be careful alright. Yeah. Call me soon. Bye" Ian hung up the phone and run his hands over his face.
"What? What is it?" Tyler asked, his eyes searching Ian's face.
"Do you know what the Necklace of Arrai is Tyler?" Ian questioned turning to look at Tyler.
"No, I don't. I remember being told about it by John though. I wasn't able to come on that mission and from John's voice I thought it better off to leave the area alone." Tyler replied frowning a little at the memory.
"Yes, well you were right. Rose, John and I had to travel to the planet Tyfin. It's one of the most beautiful planets out there, and one of the most dangerous. Not because of its dangerous predators or clawed birds but because its inhabitants are sneaky. They try to trap you and pull you in with one of their deals. They love to cause havoc and Rose saved one of its most clever members. He was called Tyron. As a thank you gift to Rose he gave her the Necklace of Arrai. The Necklace can give whatever you wish, but it can't take it back. For example, if you asked it to stop all wars in the world it would. But if in the aftermath of the wish more havoc was caused then nothing could be done to take it back. Thus, you have to think very carefully about what you wish for."
"He was clever, and tempting. It was if he had placed a charm on Rose so strong we couldn't get through to her, we tried screaming, yelling touching her but nothing worked. She couldn't see us she could just hear his voice. He was telling her about how she could have The Doctor back, all to herself. Forever. She was so close to wishing for it but then I don't something happened when I touched her arm, like an electric shock that pulled her right out of it."
Ian sighed, and raked a hand through his hair. "John was in pieces about it, not sure whether it was because it was me who finally got through to her or because she was actually going to do it. Anyways we all made a pact to never use the Necklace and Rose hid it in the one place we would never find it, or so she said. But now it appears that John is looking for it, and by the looks of things Rose has left him to it."
Tyler gaped at Ian, taking all this fresh information in. "What do you think he wants it for?"
"I don't know, but if it's something like 'Make Rose fall in love with me' then we have a bit of a problem. Rose will be able to stop him though. She has to be able to." Ian replied his voice wavering with both hope and uncertainty.
