The Doctor thought about the beautiful brunet girl he had saved not long ago and longed to go back and check on her, but he knew Rose would not like it; After her reaction to him jumping after the girl and not telling her why. He wasn't a person who could trust anyone easily or talk about his feelings, but with the brunet girl it was different…he felt safe with her, almost like she would understand his grief and comfort him in anyway possible. Of course he thought Rose could and would do the same, he loved traveling with her but he felt the need to protect her as if he owed someone that… that someone would most likely be Jackie Tyler, the women they are visiting now.
The Tardis doors opened as a smiling Rose came in with a bag on her shoulders and some chips, the smell of the fried chips soon filled the Tardis control room. "Mm…chips!" Rose laughed, "Ready to go?" the Doctor couldn't help but smile back and indulge in the smell as well. "Ready as I'll ever be." Rose was excited as usual and ran to her room to put the heavy bag down.
"How's Jackie doing?" the Doctor asked casually. Rose raised an eyebrow, "You know, missing me all the time and wondering if you need a good slap." The Doctor flinched at the memory of the infamous Tyler slap. Rose laughed again "Don't worry, just messing with you. So where are we going?" the Doctor grinned, still thinking about the brunet and said "2007, La Push, Washington, USA…I think? Apparently there are some giant wolf sightings, what do you think?" Rose nodded in response, "Good! Off we go then!"
~TARDIS~
The Doctor and Rose stepped out of the Tardis, "Oops, I think we are a few miles south to La Push, oh well." The Doctor rolled on his heels waiting for Rose's response, "Must be something wrong with the Tardis again…or your bad driving." Rose poked her tongue out at a guilty looking Doctor.
They had landed in a meadow and the Doctor heard a heart broken sobbing sound coming from the center. He started walking there, something about that cry made his hearts ache, "Rose, did you hear that?" he questioned "Ya, and I'm coming with you." The Doctor sighed, no matter how many times he would tell someone to stay by the Tardis; they always wonder off…he is still waiting for someone that understands what 'Stay here' means. "It's dark, look where you are stepping." He warned.
He started walking again and Rose followed, they were reaching the middle of the field when there was a sudden crunching sound and the crying stopped. There was a mumbled conversation that the Doctor and Rose couldn't hear. The Doctor scrunched up his eyes and tried to see what was going on, then a figure walked into their sight, a figure walking backwards toward the trees and a figure that Rose and the Doctor thought they would never see again, a figure that the Doctor couldn't take his mind off and that figure was…the suicidal brunet.
A man with gleaming red eyes and pale skin that shone in the faint moon light was stalking the girl, she looked frightened and the Doctor grasped what was happening; the girl his hearts speeds up for is waiting to be attacked.
He grabbed a thick branch and ran towards the brunet and the attacker, as he got closer she didn't see him but the man did. When he turned to look at the intruder holding a tree branch; he laughed "Are you going to hurt me with that?" he asked in a chilling voice which also had a heavy French accent, the Doctor hoped Rose was out of site, he held back a shiver and replied "well…yes, I was…until you saw me, you see the problem is you haven't got a weapon and I still have a tree branch." He looked at the girl and she looked back at him, confused and still scared; possibly at the man without a weapon.
The Doctor gestured for her to run back in the direction he had come in but he was too late. The man moved at inhumane speed and was now in front of the girl "Oh, she won't be getting away soon and neither will you." He grinned a lop sided grin and slowly held his hand up to grab the girl's throat, even in danger she still looked stunningly beautiful, especially in the moon light.
"I was hoping you wouldn't say that…now before you kill her and well…me, could you enlighten me on what you are? By your speed, eyes and skin I'd say you aren't a human, and I understand why you would want to kill me; since I'm a witness, but why this girl? What's she got that you want? Or need?" as the Doctor said this he was raising his eyebrows, using his free hand to scratch the back of his head while rocking back and forth on his heels. Then he noticed three massive dark shadows in the trees surrounding the meadow.
