Rose ran on, she had stopped to catch her breath but continued as soon as the tail-tale noises of pursuit started to drift through the darkness to her ears. She hated to admit it, but she was terrified, if she hadn't been so scared she might have found the situation amusing or slightly embarrassing. She was running through a forest, in a rain-drenched see-through dress, being chased by some love-struck teenage alien, that wanted to do God-knows-what to her. One thought however would not leave her mind. Where the hell was the Doctor? She needed him!
Running blindly through the dense vegetation Rose struggled to put distance between her and her pursuer. She lost her footing and fell, arms flailing, into the mud. She had landed rather painfully on her wrist and feared it could be broken, that added to the renewed pain in her ankle made her want to scream in agony and frustration. Against all odds she still had some fight in her and she clawed at the mud desperate to get a grip to pull her-self up with, but she was slammed back to the ground by a heavy weight which could only be the kidnapper. She struggled and kicked out.
"She runs, I chases and I catches!" he whispered in her ear as she writhed beneath his body. She could feel him run his hand over her exposed hip and kicked out violently. She allowed her-self to briefly acknowledge her victory as his face grimaced in pain above her and he loosened his hold on her and she rolled away.
It was then she saw the flash of metal.
It was then that the Doctor charged out of the trees.
It was then that Rose Tyler looked down and saw her hands covered in blood.
Her blood.
Time seemed to stop.
She saw the Doctor's eyes, wide with fear.
She saw the boy, moving away holding the guilty knife.
She felt the rhythmic beating of two hearts as she was clasped to a warm body.
She knew it was the Doctor.
Knew it would all be ok.
Then Rose Tyler knew no more.
A very short chapter I know and am sorry but will post the next one soon
