The Message
Just to note, I put the flash back where it showed The Doctor changing to human in the last chapter so don't think I've missed it out. However I have mentioned it on this one too. Again, sorry for the messed up order of the scenes, but memory isn't my thing
Chapter 4
After her long shift at the library, Rose thought that she'd take a walk to clear her head from the madness that school was doing to her; the constant up their own backside professors. The constant been worked of her feet by snotty prefects. However most of all, John Smith "aka" The Doctor hitting on her any chance he got.
She then saw the deserted, little cabin that was hidden by the forests shadows up ahead and smiled in relief on something she actually enjoyed looking at in this era of time. As she stepped into the cabin, The Tardis stood tall and proud like it was waiting for her and The Doctor to come back any day now and she gave The Tardis a warm smile that you would do to a long time no seen friend. Reaching round her neck, she got out her key hurriedly to unlock her.
When she walked inside her for the first time in a long time, The Tardis breathed deeply and her lights flashed in recognition to Rose's presence.
"Hello old girl. I've missed you too" She chuckled softly, feeling a little weird talking to a machine that probably couldn't understand her. When she walked up the ramp and marched up to the console she stroked the edge of it and instantly after, The Tardis rumbled from her touch. "Lonely arn't you without your favorite person around." She said sadly, fondly stroking around her buttons as it made her rumble louder "That makes two of us then" The Tardis then flashes dark green for a few seconds and breathed deeper at her comment and Rose tried her best to hold her tears at her and The Tardis's sadness. "Anyway, all girls together" She said more cheerfully, hearing an approval rumble from The Tardis.
When Rose walked around the console, he eyes flashed to the burnt mark on the bottom bit of the console and her eyes shut in remembrance of when The Doctor explained that they'd have to hide out for 3 months and wait for the hunters to die. And meanwhile, he would turn himself human with his TimeLord self in a watch and her as an improvised librarian. She quickly opened her eyes to miss the part where The Doctor was screaming his lungs out in pain. Seeing him in such open pain was just not normal to see him going through, and she did her best to cut that bit out.
Pulling the console screen round in front of her to a suitable view, she pressed the play button on the last recorded document and gasped in sorrow at the man she desperately wanted to have a conversation with instead of an empty shell of a human copy of him.
"Is it working?" He asked himself on the recording, tapping on the screen to make sure, which made Rose smile at his randomness. "Right listen up Rose. I left a couple of instructions for you to follow when I change. One, do not let me hurt anyone. Can't have that, you know what humans are like. All...full of vengeance" He said almost nervously, knowing Rose wouldn't like him calling her species a monstrous word like that. Two. The Tardis is no worry to you. She's on the emergency power so just let it hide away undetected. Three, no getting involved in historical events like having a sneaky trip on the Titanic..." He then paused in mid thought and raised his eyebrows "Sorry scratch that. A year ahead for that" He said embarrassingly, can't believe himself that he forgot something as stupid as that "D...no, 4. You don't let me forget you" He more seriously said, looking almost desperate for that one to stick in his mind when he changed "Because, if I treated you unforgivably badly while I'm human I'd never forgive myself" He said tensely, clearing his throat to compose himself. However just as he was about to ramble on about him and pears and gigs, she fast forwarded it to the last bit. "And 23, If they find us Rose, just open the watch" He smiled reassuringly, knowing that she would be a bit apprehensive going through all this on her own. "Oh...and just in case you didn't know...I lo...I care for you a great deal and thankyou...for choosing to travell with me, it meant the world" He beamed brightly, giving the camera a lingering, loving look before hesitantly moving out of focus and the screen went black.
Rose then looked at the screen with tears in her eyes "Wish you were here with me. Instead of putting all the responsiblitity on me you big numpty" She chuckled, shaking her head at how much she loved and hated The Doctor sometimes. She frequently asked herself these days now. Did she make the right descion leaving her mum for The Doctor?
Latimer sat on his bed alone after coming back from Mr Smiths office, cradling the silver watch he stole from him. The watch though like as soon as he picked it up still whispered to him and made a wierd buzzing noise.
"Keep me safe. Keep me hidden. Keep me in the dark" It whispered to him, making his skin crawl at the haunting voice that was whispering to him. As curiosity got the better of him, he opened it to see again and the golden light errupted from inside the watch. Images then came next, images of monsters. Monsters of metal, flesh and alien. What he didn't know was that a few miles away on the school grounds, the alien Bains had captured the sent of TimeLord sent and sniffed hungrily at it.
