Chapter Seven

When Gwen woke up she realised she was no longer in her flat. She was in a car. Her car. She looked over to the driver's seat and saw Rhys driving. She had a huge headache and her vision was still out of focus. Also she felt extremely tired.

'Ah your awake babe' he said.

'What did you do to me?' she asked.

'Nothing really, I gave you a sedative' he told her 'don't worry it will wear of soon'.

'Rhys, im sorry for what I did to you but you have got to let me go' she told him.

'I can't do that Gwen, you see I love you' he told her

'But I don't love you' she replied 'don't you want to be with someone who does love you?'

'Gwen you do love me. It's just that Jack Harkness fella has brainwashed you into thinking you don't. You don't have to worry as soon as were married you'll remember how you feel'.

'Rhys, where are we going' Gwen asked.

'To a small church just outside of Cardiff' he told her 'Don't worry everything's sorted: I have arranged for a priest to meet us there'.

Gwen stared at him.


Jack and the team reached Gwen's flat. The rushed up the stairs and through the open door. Jack rushed around searching every room.

'Gwen' He shouted.

'Jack she's not here' Tosh told him.

Owen came running into the flat. 'Jack her cars gone'

Jack pressed against her ear and spoke into his com.

'Gwen, Gwen can you hear me?' he said 'Where are you'

'Jack' She replied 'Jack help, Rhys has gone mad'

That's all he heard.

'Gwen! Gwen!' He got no reply.

'Jack, we've got a trace on her car' Ianto told him 'there making their way out of Cardiff.

With that Jack, Followed by everyone else ran to SUV and followed the tracking system.


Rhys pulled over the car and grabbed Gwen. She tried to fight him of but he was too strong. He ripped the com from her ear and threw it out of the window.

'We don't need any interruptions do we now' he told her and began to drive again.

'You're mad Rhys. You can drive me to the end of the earth if you want but I will never marry you!' She told him.

'What, would you rather marry that Jack. He doesn't love you. Not like I do. And ill kill him before I ever let him touch you' he shouted at her.

Gwen was scared. She had never seen him like his. There was no longer pain in his eyes. It had been replaced by madness and anger.


Jack and the team followed. Getting closer every second. Jack wasn't going to loose Gwen. Not now, not ever.

'Jack they've stopped' Ianto told him.

'Where?' he asked.

'Just outside of Cardiff. There's an old church out there. It looks like they've parked outside'.

'He's going to make her marry him' Tosh said 'the mad bastard'

'Owen, get the police on the phone, tell them what's going on and tell them to meet us there' Jack told him

'The police?' Owen asked 'since when do we call the police'

'Owen, he's human which means he's under their jurisdiction' He told Owen 'plus I'm going to need plenty of back up to stop me killing the Wanker!'

'Good point' Owen said whilst calling the police.


Gwen and Rhys had pulled up in front of a church. Gwen looked towards it and started to panic. Rhys had gotten out of the car and walked round to her side. He opened her door and lifted her out. She was still too weak to walk or stand so he carried her into the church. She tried to fight him yet again, but like before he was too strong. They walked through the doors and like Rhys had said, their was a priest waiting for them. Rhys carried her to the front.

'Start now!' Rhys ordered.

'NO!' Gwen cried 'please' she begged him.

The priest looked at Rhys. 'I'm sorry sir, but I can't marry you if she objects'

Rhys sat Gwen down on the floor and pulled out a gun from his jacket.

Pointing the gun at the priest he said 'she's not objecting, she's just a little confused'

The priest looked terrified. That's when Gwen knew, there was nothing she could do. Any other time Gwen would have said that there was no chance Rhys would actually shoot anyone but tonight she wasn't sure so she wasn't going to push him.

'I'm sorry' the priest said to her 'I'm really sorry'

Rhys knelt down beside Gwen and pulled her into his arms, still pointing the gun at the priest he told him to begin. So the priest began and Gwen cried.


Outside Jack, Tosh, Owen and Ianto had pulled up and were all running towards the church. The police pulling up just as they reached the door.

Jack pushed the door open.

'GWEN!' he shouted.

'Gwen tried to turn around but Rhys's grip on her was too tight. Instead she shouted out 'JACK HELP!'

Rhys stood up and pulled Gwen with him. He proceeded to place the gun under Gwen's throat.

'If I can't have her, neither can you' He said to Jack.

'Just let her go Rhys' Jack said forcing himself not to take out his own gun and shoot him 'Do you really want to hurt her?'

The police had filled the church by now.

'Rhys it's over, let her go' he said whilst walking towards them.

'NEVER' he shouted and took a shout at Jack.

'NO!' Gwen screamed.

The bullet hit him in the arm; the impact caused him to fall back. Just as he did Owen stepped in and took a shot a Rhys. Rhys fell back, releasing Gwen as he fell. The police called for an ambulance. Luckily Owen had only shot Rhys in the leg. The police came over and arrested him whilst taking him outside away from Gwen.

Jack stood up and rushed over to Gwen who was just sitting on the floor. HE grabbed her and pulled her into him. She cried. She cried like she had never done before.

'It's okay' Jack said kissing her head 'your safe now'.
