Disclaimer, I don't own Doctor Who. If I did, why would I be writing fanfiction? I'm getting a bit nervous over this... You guys are liking this, right? This is my first fanfiction that I have actually been able to get into and almost finish. There will be at least another chapter after this one. But from then on.. well, we'll see.

Chills will be had, (or at least my attempt to give you chills..)

A Rose By Other Name

Chapter 7:

Once again the Doctor sat in the library pondering Natalya Rosakova and the fact that she went by the code name Bad Wolf. He thought about Rose and sighed. Oh, my dear Rose Tyler… Wait! ROSE TYLER, NATALYA ROSAKOVA! NaTALYa ROSakova! That's how she got the name Rose, Rosakova! Tyler, Natalya! But that's impossible! Rose can't be Natalya! She's human! She's almost 27 years old! Natalya would be a lot older than that!

"It's, it's just, not possible!" The Doctor exclaimed out loud.

"It seems you've got another impossible girl on your hands, thief." The Tardis whispered in the back of his mind.

"What do you know about her?" The Doctor asked the Tardis, slightly frantic.

"Oh, nothing, never mind me. I was just making an observation." The Tardis replied slyly.

"Oh, don't give me that! I know you too well! Please tell me what you know! Please sexy!" The Doctor pleaded.

"Ah, it's been so long since you've begged me for anything. I find I rather enjoy it..." The Tardis chuckled. "Alright. I will tell you what I know. You are not the only Time Lord in this dimension. There are now four." The Tardis said ominously.

"Are you serious? Is that all you're going to tell me?" The Doctor cried.

"Well, personally, I thought that was pretty good news. Maybe not with such a delivery as The Face of Boe, but still important." The Tardis said indignantly.

The Doctor sighed. "I'm sorry. Yes that is very important news. Is that all you have to say?"

"Yes." The Tardis said primly and promptly withdrew from the conversation.

"Bloody sentient female time machine. So sensitive." The Doctor remarked.

The Doctor sat back down in his chair and began to nod off.

He began to get flashes, like long forgotten memories. It was Natalya and she seemed to be moving towards him with each flash. She kept giggling and chuckling quietly. It was actually quite frightening.

"Who are you?" The Doctor asked her. It was a very loud dream, the wind howling around them like an oncoming storm and yet he could hear her perfectly. Natalya's reddy-brown hair whipped around her face, partially obscuring her chocolate brown eyes that were oh so familiar.

"Oh, darling, you know who I am." She replied tilting her head sideways, a huge grin on her face.

The flashes of images of her kept changing, like he was watching her in slow motion, all the times he had met Natalya in his past until..

The images stopped and Natalya was right up close, in his face. The wind had stopped howling and all was silent. Natalya smiled once more. Then she was gone. The Doctor twisted around and then back again, looking for where she went. Suddenly, he felt cool breath on his neck. He glanced to his right, but he didn't see who he was expecting.

"The Bad Wolf is coming baby. Or did you forget me, funny man?" The voice behind him whispered.

The Doctor spun around and saw Rose walking away, still facing him, her hand partially covering her laughing mouth and was slowly fading away. As she did, the Doctor heard her laughter, like it was fading as well.

The Doctor awoke with a start. He looked at his watch. The Doctor had been asleep for three hours. There was cold sweat running down his back. The Doctor resolved to have a shower and shake off the feeling of foreboding danger.


Okay, what do you think; anything good? I was really nervous about this chapter. I know this chapter was a bit short, but that was the point of it. More will be written. Thanks for reading this far. I hope you will enjoy the eventual conclusion!
