It stopped, everything just stopped.
One minute there was a screaming in my head that only I could hear. Then it just stopped and it felt like everything else did too. It didn't though time still passed, it always passes. These thoughts bring old memories from long, long ago. Bad, sad, memories that I can't hold back.
10 years ago...
I woke up covered in cold sweat. I laid in a cold metal train car in the middle of winter. I could feel the wheels turn underneath me as they go 60 miles per hour. We sat in a silence between us. It wasn't awkward though, it was actually more sullen. Each of us with our burdens to morn.
Kyle was in moron for the children on the planet Plorclox, who will lean to find themselves orphans and for the ones who will never wake up again. It was hard for him to watch children suffer since he was one of them.
Kris wore a mask but I have known him long enough to know he was thinking about that one person he befriended. Kris reminded me of the Doctor the way he finds someone to protect. Then when he couldn't save that one person he blames himself. Though I feel like this last one was different.
Alex and Jamie morn together for the lives that were cut short. To many people who could have had long lives have died in the war. Sadly though this war isn't close to over and that number is going to rise.
Kang was the hardest to read. He cracks jokes and pretends he's not hurt but I think that's why he jokes like he does. He doesn't share much of his past with anyone not even us. It was dark but that's all I could tell. But yesterday at Plorclox his mask faltered when the first single rain drop fell from the sky and landed on his cheek. I knew then he morns for everyone hurt by this un-fair and cruel world.
I morn for all of these things too, though my grief is greater than that. I grieve for every death that I caused. For every person's blood that soaks my hands. For the pain I cause the people that I leave behind. They haunt my dreams and memories, every single one of their faces I remember.
Somehow I managed to fall asleep for an hour or two. I don't tend to always have a lot of time to sleep or eat. Those things just kind of slip away after a while. We focus more on strategizing and on our training.
Training has been the number one thing we do now. We learn knew moves as much as possible so they won't know what hit them. I have been training my bad wolf powers to be able to do things like I did on Satellite 5. I can do a lot with my powers like taking things out of one time period and moving it to another or seeing into a person's potential future. Every time I come close to being able to do what I did back then I almost lose control.
We predict one day if I can master my powers that I will be able to stop time around me like a time lock almost. If I am able to do that then maybe we have a chance to win the war after all.
The trains whistle sounded throughout and we all our heads lift to look at each other. Then as if on a silent agreement we get up and slide open the giant green metal door. Jamie stuck her head out to see what we would be jumping into. She gave a nod saying it would be okay to jump. I returned the nod signaling for her to jump and she did insistently. Alex followed next then Kang and Kris.
Kyle looked at me and said, "Ladies first." He gave me a smirk and a wink as I walked toward the door and I put half body out. I was hanging on by my arm and leg. My long blonde hair was flying around my head and my eyes closed at the feeling of blissfulness. Now all I had to do was just let go and I really would be flying.
It all happened so fast. I was in the air one second tucking my body in for the role till I met the ground. I rolled for about five seconds till I hit a tree. My body protested as I got up to go look for everybody else.
My transporter started flashing with a new message. It was from Kang and it said, Hey where are your, Kyle, and Kris? I'm with Alex and Jamie at the clearing.
I replied back, Kris jumped before me so he should be there soon. Kyle jumped after me so he should be in my area. I will find him and then head to the clearing.
I started walking in the direction the train was going.
"Kyle." I whispered out as I wandered around the edge of the forest looking for them. My transporter started to beep again. I quickly looked at it to see if it was Kyle looking for me.
Dread took over my body. I felt as though I was paralyzed where I stood because no matter how much I wanted to go and run I couldn't. It wasn't Kyle, or any of the other four. It was Blake. The message read, You think you can run to a different country that is an ocean away to hide. I will always find you and this time will be the time you die wolf. By the way if you think you are going to run again I can give you five reasons on why you won't. First Alexandra, second Kang, third Jamie, Fourth Kris, and last but so not least Kyle. If you want them to live you will come to the place where you lost yourself. Till then Wolf Girl.
I let out a frustrated scream. How could I think that I could hide in the states. It was so stupid and now my most trusted friends are paying the price. I knew the place he was talking about and I haven't been there in 30 years. I wiped away a tear that escaped my eye and type in the coordinates into my transporter and pushed down. Closing my eyes to escape the memories.
When I opened them again I was facing an old burned down house. I could see my friends handcuffed and gagged sitting on their knees in what used to be that house's backyard. As I walked over their guns were pointed at me and Blake stood there with a smirk on his face.
"The Tyler Estate. It's shame of what came of this beautiful house. You lived here once did you not? Because by that look on your face it's like you show no care for this house and for the people who used to lived there." He knew he was pushing every button. I stayed silent though so he wouldn't get the benefit of my reaction to his words.
"Oh, please don't give me the silent treatment. I couldn't live with myself if you gave the silent treatment." He spoke in an annoying pretend sad voice.
"I couldn't live with myself if you ever cared." I said with a smirk staring him straight in his eyes.
"Oh, thank goodness you talked!"
"Yes, sadly I have to talk to a complete idiot like you. But you have my friends and you have me and gun point so I really shouldn't make you mad."
"Oh, you are actually going to be smart today." I laughed at that comment.
"Nope." He just looked at me questioningly. Just them what looked like sprinkler heads popped out of the ground and sleeping gas went everywhere. I quickly put my shirt over my face and nose and ran over to my friends. Blake left quickly while his men quickly fell asleep because the gas and so did my friends. The men who were still awake was shooting at us.
Under a lot of pressure I quickly linked all of our transporters together so where ever mine went so did theirs. I was supposed to put in the coordinates to the HQ for this universe but I messed up and ended on a planet in its beginning fazes before it had life.
My friends where still fast asleep still but would wake up in a few minutes since they weren't exposed long to the gas. My adrenaline started to ease away and I felt an enormous pain in my left side. I looked down to see blood pouring out of it. I could feel my body try to heal itself but not fast enough. By the time it takes to heal me to at least being able to live I would already be dead.
I fell down onto the red grass that was below me. I held onto my side with all the strength I had to keep it from pouring out blood. It was daylight on this planet it looks like, it's two suns were high in the sky. Wait, two suns? I must be seeing things from all the blood loss. I was so loss in thought I didn't notice the pain in my side ease away till it was already gone. I looked down at it and saw a ball of time energy floating over my wound.
"How?" Was all I could murmur out as I sat up. All I could do is sit in confusion staring at the thing. It floated up toward my face and started to float away. But then stopped after twenty feet or so. It wanted me to follow it. I picked myself off of the soft red grass and followed the ball of time energy.
It seemed like the walk was forever but it was really nice. It was relaxing and didn't leave me worrying about an attack. We made it to a beautiful field surrounded by mountains and these trees that had red leaves and gold trunks. In the center of the field was this giant golden ball a lot like the one I have been following. Except for the fact that it had a dark black center.
"Oh, thank goodness you found me child." I was taken back with the fact that it started talking. "You shouldn't be shocked child I am the greatest thing in all the universe of course I will be able to talk."
"What are you?" I said taking a step forward. My body in a defensive possition, the sense of relaxation completely gone.
"I am the eye of time. What led you here is known as a daughter of time. There are many of them all over this planet. To you though, you might know them as TARDIS. You have a history with this one." I stared at the small ball of time energy. "She is still as you can tell."
"She is the Doctor's TARDIS. How am I able to look at her and not absorb in time energy?" I wondered out loud not really thinking about the answer.
"She is has a protective layer on right now to guard you from her true heart. Now child we must talk about the war."
"What does it matter to you?"
"Everything, this war is the war that starts the race that will live on this planet. Gallifrey I think is what they plan to call it in the future."
No, this can't be Gallifrey. The Doctor said it burned with all of the Time Lords but him.
"The Last creates the First. This is close to the beginning of the time so it isn't time lock that is how you got here."
"So you need me to become the first Time Lord or Time Lady."
"Yes."
"During your war it will become more over this planet than it will over control. If you lose the time circle around Galifrey will be broken and all of time across all universes will be rewritten. If that happens I need to make sure they never get their hands on me."
"How will you manage that?"
"You my Bad Wolf. You are the only one who can take in all my knowledge and abilities and still live. This will be the thing that turns you wolf. You have to do this."
"So, I will have to live with another mind in my head?"
"No, the part of me that is personality will stay here on the planet. It can't be used as a weapon so don't worry."
"How do I do this?" My voice was shaky from the nerves.
"Step into me and I will do the rest."
To say that I was scared was an understatement. I did it anyway though because if this is Gallifrey then this the is the Doctor's home and for him I would do anything even now 40 years later. I walked forward slowly and cautiously. Then I stepped into the eye of time.
You would expect a big immense feeling to fill you up but there wasn't any type of feeling. I felt as though I was floating in space. I was surrounded by darkness and it felt as though even time stopped around me.
Present day...
I hear footsteps running through the hallway. I opened my eyes and see the Doctor running up to me and kneeling before me.
"Rose are you okay?" I nodded yes in response. He stood up first and then gave me a hand up. He then took my hand into his and we started running toward the elevator.
