"I am going to kill him." The rain was pouring down heavily on the stone streets of London. A very annoyed and frustrated Jasmine was standing at the backstreets of an alley, next to Katy. Both girls were wearing late 1800s dresses that the rich and polite girls would not wear. "I am going to MURDER him." Jasmine said.

"Hey, you're the one that wanted to get involved in this case," Katy replied. "I gotta say, I was excited when he told us about this, but it's so cold here."

"KATY! We're dressed as freaking prostitutes in late 19th century London."

"There are worse ways of spending an evening," Katy replied laughing. "Like, oh I don't know, nearly being burnt on the stake."

"That was not my fault."

"True, you were too busy being married."

"You were supposed to rescue me."

"Planned to, but got a little tied up." Katy replied. "Alright, I'll stop the puns."

"You know, on any other normal Friday night, I'd be out with my friends at a pub, not like this."

"Hey, you're with a friend now, and we're meeting the boys at the pub later."

"Good evening ladies." A voice said.

Jasmine almost jumped a foot in the air as the voice broke into their conversation.

"Evening Sir," Katy replied politely.

"How are you ladies doing tonight? It's quite cold."

"We're fine thank you," Katy replied, looking into the shadows to see the man's features.

"What about you Sir? Aren't you cold?" Jasmine asked, not believing what she was saying.

"Well, I could also be warmer," He said pleasantly, but both girls could hear the hidden note in his voice. "And how much?"

"Oh Sir," Katy said, putting on a tone that said she was flattered. "We're a sixpence each."

"I am sure it will be worth it." Jasmine started to panic; the Doctor had said the area they were in wouldn't be found by these men. Did they really have to through with it?

"This way then Sir," The two girls started walking and as Jasmine turned "Remind me of what we're trying to figure out." Jasmine whispered to Katy.

"We're here to find out who Jack really was," Katy replied. "Now there should be an alley just up here we can escape down, I saw it earlier."

"And then he told us to act like prostitutes." The younger girl said. "Right this way Sir." Jasmine said added.

The girls drew level with the alleyway and Katy grabbed Jasmine's hand. "Go," she whispered and pushed Jasmine in front of her.

"OI!" The man shouted.

"That was clearly NOT Jack." Jasmine said

"Sorry Sir, business is over," Katy shouted back. The two girls hurried down the alleyway and out through a passage which lead them back to the Tardis. They quickly changed clothes to simpler dresses and then hurried back to the pub where the Doctor and Ryan were sitting by a table, looking quite comfortable.

"Hiya, how'd it go?" The Doctor asked.

Jasmine muttered something bitterly as they sat down next to the boys.

"Oh it was…educational," Katy replied, kissing Ryan on the cheek. Ryan returned the kiss and Jasmine turned her glance away. "Right. So that wasn't him then?" The Doctor asked

"Do we look dead to you?" Jasmine asked

"Well…you do look pale," Ryan replied.

"We were outside for hours, of course we look pale." Jasmine snapped.

"Jasmine," Katy said.

"What? How can you not be angry? We have to go out and do the dangerous work while they sit in the pub."

"Okay so it was a little cold. I'll admit that. But we're fine."

"Yeah, but they wouldn't have even noticed if we had been attacked."

"You're overreacting."

"You're under reacting!" Jasmine cried, drawing attention to them. Ryan and the Doctor glanced at each other, not expecting the girls to have a go at each other like that.

"Fine," Katy said. "Fine, I'll agree with you, just stop shouting."

"Fine!"

"Maybe we should go back to the Tardis," Ryan suggested, glancing at the Doctor for support.

"Oh yeah, take her side will you." Jasmine said. Ryan looked over at her.

"I'm not taking sides," he explained. "But maybe we should do this elsewhere."

"Yeah I think he's right girls." The Doctor said.

"Go ahead," Jasmine replied. "I'm staying here."

"Jasmine, just come back with us," Katy said, a note of pleading in her voice. No-one should be out there alone, especially not them, they didn't know their way around or anything.

"Oh no. Just go ahead. You and Ryan should, I don't know, creep into a corner and have a nice comfy evening:"

"Whoa! Where did that come from?"

"I'll stay," The Doctor said. "If she won't go, I'll stay with her. You two go on back to the Tardis."

"No. NO I wanna hear this." Katy said.

"Katy," Ryan said standing up. "Let's just go, you can talk about it tomorrow."

"Look Jasmine just because you lost Marc doesn't mean you have any rights to take it out on us."

"Ok, that's it," The Doctor said standing up quickly. "You go to the Tardis," he said pointing at Katy. "You stay here." he said to Jasmine.

"Fine!" Katy stormed out of the pub, closely followed by Ryan. He glanced back at the table and saw the Doctor trying to calm Jasmine down. Jasmine crossed her arms and sighed frustrated.

"What's really wrong?" The Doctor asked her.

"Nothing."

"So you went off on your closest friend for nothing?"

"She's not my friend! I don't know her!"

"Yes you do," The Doctor said patiently. "And she's the closest person to understanding you that there is right now. Don't push her away."

"I'm just so tired of this. I'm tired of all this running and hiding. It's leading nowhere! You taking us to all these wild goose chases and solving famous world mysteries. I just...I want my life back." The Doctor nodded sympathetically.

"I understand, but it's the only way to keep you safe from him."

"Right. Yeah well..."

"Apologize to her." The Doctor said. Jasmine nodded mutely. She knew she'd said some bad things, but she had gotten just as much back.

"I can't believe she'd say that...that...that little...oooooh." Katy said, she and Ryan were heading back towards the Tardis. Ryan could tell that Katy was very angry. He let her continue her rant.

"I mean. And bringing you into it!"

"We're all just tired Kate," Ryan said soothingly.

"No Ryan! She meant it. She meant every word." Ryan sighed, he didn't know how to act when Katy was like this, after all this was the first time he had seen her really angry.

"God I can't believe she'd be so...stupid!" Ryan turned around to her and pulled her close to her. "Okay, let's calm down for a while huh." Katy stopped mid-rant and snuggled into his chest. They stood there for a few seconds before they walked on, the Tardis coming into view.

"Let's hope the Ripper doesn't show up anytime soon." Katy said as they closed the Tardis door.

A few streets away the Ripper was prowling. He had already made his kill of the night: a tall brunette. Mutton dressed as lamb. He had caught sight of two younger girls earlier and they would both make good victims. He just needed to keep a closer eye on them.

He had to make sure they had no links outside of the streets of Whitechapel. They seemed somewhat unusual to him though. Why had they run from that man if they were prostitutes? Surely they would have wanted his money. Maybe they were in such high demand that they could choose there customers? He laughed silently. No whore would turn away business.

'I'll make sure they don't refuse me' He thought.

"Jasmine," The Doctor said calmly. "We really should head back."

"I don't wanna face her." Jasmine said.

"She's not going to kill you."

"This isn't the first time we've fought like this is it."

"It isn't?" The Doctor asked, he had thought their relationship had been, well, good.

"I meant in our past lives Doctor." Jasmine corrected. The Doctor winced as he remembered the last argument the girls had had in that life.

"It's not gonna happen again Jasmine."

"You can't know that can you? You cannot guarantee complete safety." Jasmine said, got off the chair and left the pub.

"Wait," The Doctor called after her. He hurried out of the pub.

"Can you at least promise you'll be nice to her?" He added. Jasmine glared at him but nodded her head.

"Good girl." They walked back to the Tardis in silence, each one thinking back to Jasmine's past life. Jasmine was happy that she had some recollection of that life, but it was still painful for her. It didn't take long before they reached the Tardis and there was an uncomfortable silence as Jasmine and Katy would only look at each other.

"Oh come on girls." The Doctor said. Katy looked at Ryan then walked out of the main room of the Tardis.

"You can't just not talk to each other when we're in the same place and time for that matter," The Doctor stated.

"Wanna bet?" Jasmine replied.

"You were going to apologize."

"What's the point of apologizing if I don't mean it?" The Doctor sighed.

"You can't hate each other when we live like this."

"Then you might as well take me home."

"Jasmine, you know I can't do that," The Doctor replied. "This is to keep you safe. I need to protect you."

"I don't give a bloody damn."

"Fine then, how about if you feel the same way after this trip we can decide?"

"Oh please, like you'd last a minute against Matthew you on your own. You'd probably go with him willingly."

"I'd be better off without you anyway."

Katy laughed. "Yeah right, we're the only ones keeping you out of trouble."

"Well I'm sorry if I don't fall for the closest guy available!" Katy stopped laughing and raised her hand to slap Jasmine, stopping inches from her face.

"THAT is ENOUGH!" The doctor said, grabbing Katy's hand. Ryan looked on in shock as he entered the room.

"You know what, I don't need you as a friend." jasmine said.

"And who said I needed you? If you wanna be a complete loner go for it. Doesn't bother me."

"Fine!" Jasmine walked over to the Tardis doors and forcibly pushed them open. She stormed through them and slammed them behind her. The Doctor cringed as he heard the slam. Katy growled.

"Leave her out there," she growled and sat down in one of the chairs. The Doctor sighed and rolled his eyes. He signalled to Ryan and walked out of the main room into one of the others.

"Let's just leave it to them."

"I don't know Doctor, they're both pretty pissed."

"Which is why we should let them calm down. Experience tells me not to mess with a woman who will likely kill us."

Meanwhile, Jasmine was storming through the rainy streets of London with rage rushing through her body. She couldn't believe how ignorant Katy was. She turned a corner and bumped into a real 'unfortunate.'

"Watch where you're going!" Jasmine snapped.

"Oh I'm SO sorry milady." The prostitute said sarcastically.

"Hey, I saw you earlier," Jasmine replied, recognising the girl. "You were working on the next street from me."

"You don't exactly look like one of us."

"I changed," Jasmine said. The girl looked at her shocked.

"You earn enough for two dresses?"

"Oh yeah. Customers here are generous."

"Not to me or the other girls," The girl snapped. Her face was smudged with make up ruined by the rain. She had long blonde hair, knotted at the ends and was wearing a bright blue tight dress.

"So...you know anywhere to spend the night? I don't exactly have a place to sleep."

"What? Spent all that money on a dress and got no place to stay?"

"I got those dresses a while back." "Alright, well just for tonight, you can tell the rest of us how you earn your money so well," the girl said. "The name's Lizzie."

"Jasmine." Lizzie nodded and motioned for Jasmine to follow her.

"You're not local are ya?" she asked. Jasmine shook her head. "Don't worry there's a few of us."

"Ah no, I'm from Scotland."

"You're accent isn't Scottish though?" Lizzie replied. "We got a gal from Ireland, I'm Swedish."

"Really?"

"Long way from home hey?" Lizzie said smiling sadly.

"So, what do you lot do after the night's job? If you don't mind me asking."

"We used to go to the local pub," Lizzie said, her accent becoming more visible. "That was before the murders. Now he head home."

"And where is home?"

"Just follow me," the girl said. Jasmine walked after Lizzie through the alleyways until they got to a brick building and they walked inside.

"I am home Catherine," Lizzie said happily. "And i have brought a friend."

"And here I was thinking you'd found something else to do." A sharp voice said.

Lizzie laughed at her tone. "No, no Catherine," she replied. Jasmine found the source of the voice lying on the single bed in the one roomed flat. It was a blonde girl, a bit older than her and Lizzie and she was wearing a tight black dress like a corset. "This is Jasmine." Lizzie introduced.

"I hope she's gonna pay to sleep here," Catherine snapped. "I told ya before, we can't afford another…stray."

"Oi! Watch your tongue!" Jasmine snapped.

Catherine laughed slightly and the tension in the air seemed to break. "Nice to meet ya Jasmine. I was serious about the money." She added.

"I have like a pound on me." Jasmine replied Catherine sat up straight.

"A whole pound?" Her expression was that of complete awe. "Never in me life have I seen a real pound."

"Yeah, well, I'm a saver."

"Come sit by me dear," Catherine said patting the sheets beside her. "I think I'm gonna like you."

"Where is she? She's not back yet." The Doctor said pacing back and forth in the Tardis worriedly.

"She's probably sitting outside the door," Katy said rolling her eyes. She did feel worried about Jasmine, but she was too stubborn to admit to it. Ryan rubbed her shoulder soothingly.

"I'm sure she'll be back." Ryan said. "She's not stupid enough to stray too far," He added. Katy snorted but didn't say anything. The Doctor shot her a glare.

"That's it. I'm going to look for her." The Doctor said.

"Why?" Katy asked "It's what she wants. Sympathy." She added.

"In case you had forgotten, there's a 19th century serial killer on the loose."

"Oh she probably flirted her way into a nice and comfy apartment."

"Katy!"

"Sorry, she just pissed me off."

"What is it with girls? No matter what century you're in they're always the same."

"And men change?" Katy snapped.

"Hey!" Ryan said.

"I didn't mean you Honey."

"Do you two need a room?"

"Fine, we'll go look for her," Katy said, with a pained expression.

"Good." The Doctor grabbed his coat and held the door open for Katy and Ryan who walked out onto the cold Victorian street.

"Doctor, what's that whistling?" Katy asked. The Doctor stopped and listened for a few seconds. "Something bad's happened. You better hope Jasmine's alright." He set off in his usual jog and Katy and Ryan followed. They hurried towards the whistles. Katy felt her stomach tie itself into knots. What if Jasmine had been caught up in the Ripper murders? It would be all her fault. A crowd was gathering around in a circle and policemen where trying to push them off the site.

"Time for psychic paper wouldn't you say?" Katy asked. The Doctor walked up to the circle and pushed his way to front, closely followed by Ryan and Katy. Katy looked through the policemen and gagged.

"Oh God," She said, putting a hand over her mouth. The smell reminded her of dissections in biology class. She peered through the rain and saw a darker puddle around the body. She turned her glance away. "God that's awful." She said and Ryan put an arm around her protectively. The Doctor nodded and walked over to the nearest policeman. He held up the psychic paper.

"Detective John Smith? About time we got one of you here." The police officer said.

"What happened?" The Doctor asked. His forehead wrinkled as he listened to the policeman.

"The Ripper, That's what happened." The policeman replied. The Doctor nodded sadly and walked over to the body. The crowd was shouting various phrases, blaming the police for the murder. The time lord crouched down and closed the girl's eyes.

"Do we know who she was?"

"One of them unfortunates, Sir." The Doctor nodded. He was pleased to see it wasn't Jasmine lying in front of him, but the sight was terrible. It was inhuman to commit such a murder, a slaughter.

"You poor girl." he said out loud. "I'm sorry," he added. "I'm so sorry."

"She's just a whore. No one cares." The policemen said.

"She's still a person," Katy snapped, she had been listening to their conversation.

"Right, well I'm done here. Katy, Ryan. Let's find Jasmine."

"Lizzie?" Jasmine awoke to the sound of Catherine's worried voice. She sat up and looked at her questioningly. She got out of bed and it took a few seconds before her surroundings became clearer. "Catherine what's happened?" Jasmine asked

"Lizzie's gone."

"Maybe she just went out," Jasmine reasoned. Catherine snorted.

"You don't just go out in these times," Catherine shouted. "She knew the dangers."

"Look, don't worry. I'm sure she's fine." Catherine nodded slowly.

"She'll be back before morning."

"Exactly."

"Doctor slow down," Katy said. The corset of her dress was restricting her breathing and she was struggling to keep up with the Doctor's fast pace.

"Where would she go? Where would she stay? It's pouring rain." The Doctor ranted to himself

"She'll be fine for tonight Doctor, Jack only kills one per night, and he's got his fill for tonight."

"Sure about that?" The Doctor replied. "This is the day he kills twice. Let's hope he doesn't get a different victim."

"How about we split up?" Katy said.

"No way," Ryan said. "We stay together."

"Look, we'll cover more ground that way, if not I'm going back to the Tardis. I can't keep up with you two."

"What if he finds you?" Ryan asked.

"Whatever the Doctor says, I don't remember it being today that the double murder happens. In a few days time maybe. But not today."

"I'm a historian. I know." Katy added. Ryan glanced at the Doctor who just shrugged. He knew Katy wouldn't listen to her in the mood she was in. Reluctantly, Ryan nodded.

"Stay safe," He told her, kissing her forehead.

"Don't worry. I will." Katy walked back the way they had come. She turned left instead of right at the end of the next street. She was determined to find Jasmine on her own. After all it was her fault she had run off. She knew that tonight the double murder happened, even though she had told Ryan the Doctor was wrong.

'Jasmine where are you' She thought as she suddenly bumped into someone. "So sorry Sir."

"That's quite alright dear," a horrific voice replied. "Are you lost?" He asked.

"Nope, just looking for a friend."

"Oh?" Katy nodded and started to move away.

"Well I better keep looking."

"What does she look like?"

"Don't worry about it Sir," Katy said, the voice was creeping her out now. "I'm sure I'll find her."

"I might have seen her. London's not that big."

"No no," Katy said, backing away. Something didn't feel right and Katy wanted to get away from there. The man was wearing a large dark trench coat and a high hat. She was about to turn and run when the man whipped out a sharp knife, the blade gleaming in the dim light.

"So sorry Sir I have to go." Katy stuttered

"You're going nowhere," the man said.

"Oh just my luck, had to run into you." Katy sighed. "Is this the part where you rant about 'giving birth to the 20th century'?"

"The 20th century has just begun dear." Katy started running and run for what her life was worth but with the dress tightening, it got more difficult. She fumbled in her pocket and sent an SOS text to Ryan's phone, hoping they would be able to track her. Suddenly, she slipped over a rock and fell into the damp water, her phone falling out of her hands.

"Help!" She screamed

"So you are scared," The Ripper stated. "I had thought you wouldn't be."

"Leave me alone." Katy said crawling away but the ripper grabbed her

"Get your hands off me," she growled. She was so scared that she was willing to try anything to save herself. "I know all about you."

"Fancy that? Then you'll know what you're up against." The ripper said, sliding his hands up her thigh. Katy threw the hand away from her leg. The Ripper pulled the knife out of his sleeve and held it close to her neck.

"Let me go!" Katy scrambled out of his grasp, causing the knife to cut a large gash in her upper arm. She cried out in pain and heard Jack laugh behind her.

Meanwhile Jasmine nudged awake when she heard her phone ringing. "Yeah hello?" She answered

"Please tell me you've seen Katy?" Ryan asked. Jasmine could hear the desperate note in his voice and bit back a sarcastic reply.

"What? She run away from you?"

"No, she said she was going back to the Tardis."

"Where are you then?"

"In the Tardis, that's how we know she never came back," Ryan said. "Look just meet us back here, she sent us an SOS text."

"I'm on my way." Jasmine ended the phone call and turned around to a Catherine who stared in awe.

"Um, sorry Catherine," Jasmine said standing up. "No time to explain. Thanks for letting me stay. And please, please stay inside." Jasmine rushed out as fast as she could and crossed and alleyway but something caught her attention and she backed a few steps.

She hid in the shadows and gasped. She pulled out her phone and dialled Ryan.

"Uh, I've found her." She told him where and hung up. She walked into the alleyway. "Hey you, get off of her." Jack the Ripper was right in front of her, leaning of a body, about to slice into Katy's abdomen.

"And there you are." He said

Jasmine noted Katy was unconscious. She walked further into the alleyway. "What do you mean?"

"HEY!" Came the Doctor's voice. Jasmine sighed in relief as she saw Ryan and the Doctor appear at the end of the alley. The Ripper hissed and ran passed Jasmine.

"Katy!" Ryan shouted. He ran over to her, tears in his eyes as he saw her lying in the dirt. He could see slashes across her arms and one across her face. He hoped the Ripper hadn't gotten any further.

"No, no, no, no." He said.

"This is all my fault. This is...if I hadn't been such a bitch." Jasmine said.

"I shouldn't have let her go on her own," Ryan added, checking if Katy had a pulse.

"Let me through, I'm the Doctor." Ryan backed away and let the Doctor through. "She's got a pulse so she'll live, but her wounds deep. She needs a hospital. A proper hospital." Ryan nodded and gently picked Katy up, careful not to hurt her. Jasmine felt her conscience grabbing hold of her. Had she not been so stubborn and such a bitch Katy wouldn't be hurt. If she died...it would be all her fault and she couldn't live with that. The Doctor led the way back towards the Tardis, stopping every few minutes to check they were following. He glanced down and saw a trail of blood coming from Katy.

"It's my fault." Jasmine said

"Don't start that again," The Doctor replied. "We can blame ourselves until the sun comes up and we'll still be no closer to helping her." Jasmine dried away the tears that were running down her face and breathed deeply. "Right, into the Tardis," The Doctor said, pushing open the door and helping Ryan carry Katy inside.

"Come on Katy," Ryan whispered. "You promised not to do this again."

"She'll be alright. She's strong." The doctor said. Ryan nodded hopefully and stroked Katy's hair.

"Where do we go? Hospitals here aren't that good." Jasmine said.

"I have one in mind," The Doctor replied flipping switches on the control console. "Hold on tight." Jasmine closed her eyes as the Tardis set off once again and she hoped that the Doctor knew what he was doing. The Tardis whirred and whined and before Jasmine knew it the Doctor was ordering Ryan to take Katy out of the Tardis. She watched Ryan nod and pick her up gently. She followed behind them. As she was about to go out the Doctor stopped her.

"What is it?" She asked.

"We're going back as soon as we know Katy's alright."

"Why?"

"Although we can't stop the rest of the murders from happening, we can see that Jack gets caught this time." Jasmine raised an eyebrow in slight confusion.

"That would be changing history seriously."

"No it wouldn't, changing history would be stopping the murders. No, we're just getting justice for the victims."

"Right. How do we do it?"

"What is it with you lot and plans? Where's your sense of spontaneity?"

"Let's just get to the hospital." The Doctor nodded and walked through the Tardis doors. Ryan was standing nearby.

The hospital was a large white building with a moon on the side.

"Where are we exactly?" Ryan asked.

"A human colony," The Doctor explained. "We're about four thousand years into your futures."

"And they'll help us?" Jasmine asked

"Two nurses already took her," Ryan said quietly.

"That was quick." Jasmine said as she looked around her.

"Well she could be dying," Ryan snapped.

"I didn't mean it like that Ryan." Ryan nodded slightly.

"Anyway, they said we should stay here for the meantime."

"Doctor can't you ask how long...I mean when we'll find out." Jasmine said. The Doctor shook his head.

"Leave them to their work, she's in safe hands."

"I hope so. Are we leaving now doctor?" Jasmine asked. Ryan glanced at him sharply.

"You're just gonna leave us here?"

"We have to go back and find the ripper. You stay with Katy."

"Why?" He asked, anger rising. "Can't you just leave him alone? Katy's dying and you're gonna go and leave her?"

"We have to Ryan. To bring justice to those who were murdered. Katy's gonna be fine. She's got you." Ryan ran a hand through his hair.

"Look, I'm useless here; I don't understand where we are or anything. I need you two to stay."

"Let the nurses do their job. They're good people. We'll be back soon." Ryan knew there was no way to persuade them and that he should be by Katy's side. He sighed loudly and nodded.

"Hurry."

"Look after her." Jasmine said. The Doctor put his hand on Ryan's shoulder to comfort him. Ryan nodded again and watched them walk back to the Tardis.

"Come on Jasmine! Time is precious!" Jasmine increased her pace and closed the Tardis door behind her.

"Right. Destination. London." Jasmine grabbed on tight and waited.

"And here we are." The Doctor ran back outside of the Tardis quickly. Jasmine followed.

"How much time has passed?"

"About a year and a half."

"What?" Jasmine said. "How are we ever gonna find him now?"

"London hasn't changed that much."

"Yeah, but he probably has. He coulda even moved away."

"Oh I don't think so." "But you can't guarantee it," she replied. This would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

"Exactly! I always loved hide and seek." Jasmine rolled her eyes.

"Let's just find him." She said, starting off down the street they were on. The now familiar sounds of the unfortunates shouting met her ears.

"Should we ask them?"

"What go up and say 'hey you know that bloke who murdered a bunch of you last year? You wouldn't by any chance know who and where he is'?"

"Got a better idea geek?" The Doctor raised his eyebrow.

"As a matter of fact I do."

"Then by all means do tell."

"Each human gives off their own waves, be they brain waves or whatever," The Doctor explained. "If I can tune the sonic screwdriver into the specific waves, we can locate him."

"And you're telling me that NOW?!" The Doctor looked at her confused.

"When else was I supposed to tell you?"

"Oh I don't know. WHEN WE WERE DRESSED AS THE LOT OF THEM!"

"I thought you wanted to do that? You know, get into the local culture."

"I swear to God one of these days you are going to be in a serious amount of pain."

"You're probably right, but for now, let's get started." Jasmine sighed. "What? Don't look at me like that Jasmine." The Doctor said. She rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"Just get on with it; I wanna get back to the hospital."

"Right," The Doctor got out the screwdriver and held it out to the air, pointing it in various different directions until it started beeping. "Spot on." he said. He started in the direction of the beeping. "Well come on," He said.

"There's something I need to do first," she told him. "I'll meet you back here."

"What are you gonna do?" The doctor asked.

"I need to check up on someone, the girl I stayed with that night."

"What was her name?"

"No, I don't want you to tell me, I need to go find her."

"Jasmine, Chances are she's dead." He added.

"Not necessarily," Jasmine replied, backing away down the street. "Only about 5 girls were killed, she could still be alive." She turned around and continued away from the Doctor.

"Be careful."

"Always am," She shouted back.

"Not always." The doctor said to himself as he continued walking.

"Heard that." Jasmine walked through the damp streets of London with a fast pace. She couldn't help but to get the feeling that she was being watched and the fact that she couldn't determine where the person or thing watching her was, made her feel incredibly uneasy. She continued down the street and headed in the direction of the tiny one roomed flat she had slept in for that one night. Jasmine raised an eyebrow in surprise when she noticed that the door to the apartment was unlocked. She carefully walked inside and looked around her. It was completely abandoned. She gave a quick cry of fright when she saw a rat running over her foot.

"What happened to this place?" She asked. Her heart dropped as she immediately thought of the worst case scenario: maybe she is dead. She jumped when she thought she heard movement in the corner. "Hello? Anyone here?" She asked. She peered into the dark corner, but couldn't be certain if anybody was there. It was probably just another rat, but there was a part of her that hoped it was Catherine or Lizzie.

"Hello? Anyone there?" Jasmine asked again.

"I had hoped you would return," a rasping voice announced, making Jasmine jump. It was a dark and raspy male voice and Jasmine wasn't sure she wanted to see who it was or walk away. The voice seemed vaguely familiar to her, but she couldn't put a name to it.

"What do you mean?" She asked. Jasmine knew she had heard that voice somewhere before but couldn't place it in her mind.

"You've changed." The voice said.

"Do I know you?" She asked. Jasmine walked closer to the corner, her curiosity increasing.

"Oh yes…intimately you could say."

"Marc?" She raised an eyebrow in confusion. That wasn't possible. He couldn't possibly follow them.

"Yes it's me Love," He replied softly. Jasmine knew instantly that he was trying to make her forget that he was a monster. She had to run. She had to get out of there as fast as possible. She couldn't even look in his eyes anymore. He wasn't human.

"What is it, Love?" He asked her, and for a moment Jasmine could picture them being back at their shared apartment.

"No! Don't do this!" She shouted

"Do what?" He asked, sounding confused. "Don't you want a drink?" Jasmine's eyes flew open and she was at her apartment.

"No. Just leave me alone! You're a monster! You're not human!" The illusion shattered in front of her eyes and she sighed in relief. She turned around without looking back at him and ran through the door. Jasmine ran but soon found Marc in front of her again. In fact they were back at the apartment.

"Leave me alone." She said, panic growing in her voice.

"I can't do that Jasmine, I've never been able to."

"I don't love you. Just stop all these illusions." Jasmine said, "They're not illusions." Marc replied and Jasmine looked around her at the apartment they were in. It was just like it used to be back in London. Every single detail.

"They are not real," Jasmine shouted at him. She tried to pinch her arm to wake herself up. "Doctor, where are you?" She asked herself mostly looking around her, trying to hide away from Marc. She didn't love him anymore. She couldn't.

"What do you want?" She asked weakly.

"What I've always wanted. To be with you." Jasmine shook her head and a laugh came from deep within her. She knew she was losing it.

"This isn't happening." She said "Why can't all of this just have been a bad dream."

"Because you can wake up from those," Marc replied.

"I don't love you." She really didn't. Even if she knew she had. She didn't now.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Of course I'm sure about that!" Jasmine spat but at the same time images flashed through her mind about her time with marc, how they first met and everything they'd done together. Her heart broke again as she watched the scenes, happy memories flew across her closed eyes.

"This isn't fair." Tears were streaming silently down her face and at that moment she wished the doctor would be there more than ever.

"Come back to me and things will be exactly like the used to be."Marc told her. Jasmine would have been lying if she had said that it didn't tempt her. She yearned for her old life. Life in the dark, she reminded herself.

"I know you want to be with me. Why do you fight it?" Marc asked. Jasmine suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion sweep through her. She didn't want to fight it anymore. Marc was Marc, she loved him. She had known him for so long.

"Jasmine. Look at me. Would I really hurt you? I never have hurt you have I?" marc asked. Jasmine looked into his eyes. She could see the love and concern in his eyes. She sighed and shook her head.

"Just come with me." Marc said. Marc reached out a hand towards her. She gingerly took his hand. Marc pulled her in for a hug and stroked her hair. Jasmine felt a rush of relief going through her and thought that maybe everything had been a mistake. Maybe the doctor had been wrong. He kissed her gently. She felt calmer than she had for a long time. Then she remembered why she had been so stressed. She immediately pulled back from him and couldn't believe what she had let him do.

"Leave me alone Matthew," she spat. "Jasmine wai-" Before he was able to finish the sentence, Jasmine ran. She carried on running for longer than she could tell. She ran down alleys and crowded streets. And then she suddenly ran into something.

"I'm so sorry Sir." She quickly apologized.

"No problem at all my dear," the person replied. She knew that voice; it was one she would never forget. She looked up at the tall man in front of her. He was wearing a long black trench coat and a hat.

"Oh no. Doctor!" She shouted. She looked around at her surroundings and saw she was in an alley. She couldn't hear any carts or anything which meant nobody was around.

"Doctor!" She yelled, her panic completely taking over. She looked up at the man's pale face and saw him smiling.

"You shouldn't be here," she muttered. "You stopped your killings 18 months ago…" Jasmine started thinking. That was bad. That was really bad.

"We've changed time." The Ripper laughed down at her.

"Time to end this."

"No, no, no, no. This is not happening. DOCTOR!!""

"How is your friend?" Ripper asked her, withdrawing a knife from his sleeve. Jasmine looked around her and found herself in a corner. There was no where to run and nowhere to hide.

"Leave me alone!"

"I'm almost loathe to see this moment pass us by," Jack the Ripper commented. "I've dreamt of it so often."

"A year and a half. You've not changed a bit. You're even wearing the same clothes." He commented.

"I could say the same for you," she replied. Her voice was thick with fear.

"Your friend had the same fire as you," Ripper grinned. "Only more so." 'Where is he?' Jasmine thought as she felt her fear taking complete control over her. She backed away against the cold brick wall behind her and closed her eyes.

"Now wait there just a minute." Came a familiar voice. Jasmine almost grinned as she heard the Doctor.

"Thank God." She breathed

"You're supposed to have stopped your extra curricular activities Jack my boy."

"I changed my mind." Jack replied bluntly

"Oh and why was that?" The Doctor asked.

"Why do you care? I am not interested in you."

"Now that hurt," The Doctor replied. "What's wrong with me?"

"Doctor. Not the time." Jasmine said

"But I feel so insignificant now! That's so human: favouritism." He shook his head as he spoke.

"Doctor!"

"Fine," he sighed. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and gestured for Jasmine to get behind him. Jasmine ran as fast as she could behind the doctor who protectively stepped in front of her.

"Aren't we in trouble? I mean, we've changed time he shouldn't kill now." Jasmine asked.

"We'll worry about that later," the Doctor replied.

"What are you gonna do?"

"Haven't decided yet."

"Well now might be a good time to decide! I don't like that shiny knife of his!" The Doctor nodded.

"So, as we're about to die, why don't you tell us who you are. Really, not any of that 'Jack the Ripper' lark."

"That is who I am."

"Ok, then, how about beforehand?"

"You are trying my patience."

"Then answer my question," The Doctor replied, frustration evident in his voice. The Ripper lunged towards Jasmine and the doctor quickly.

"Get down!" Doctor shouted. Jasmine quickly dived to the ground. She felt the Doctor drop down at the same time.

"What do we do? What do we do?"

"You stay down," The Doctor ordered.

"But--!" Jasmine said.

"Stay down!" The Doctor yelled. He eyed the Ripper careful trying to decide what he could do. Aliens he could deal with easily, humans…even sadistic murderers were another thing.

"Doctor, be careful."

"Yeah, will be," The Doctor replied. His mind raced down possible routes to take. Suddenly, before either Jasmine or the Doctor was able to react, a shot was heard and the Ripper fell down motionless before them.

"What the hell was that?" Jasmine asked.

"Aside from the obvious, I'm not sure," The Doctor said. "But let's make the most of it and get out of here."

"Don't have to tell me twice." Jasmine leapt to her feet and ran down the alleyway behind the Doctor. She could hear police whistles starting behind them. She saw the Tardis in distance and turned around to see policemen ahead of them but then noticed Marc standing in a corner, smiling at her and then walking away. She gulped and carried on towards the Tardis, there she would feel safe.

"How badly have we changed it?" She asked. "I mean, no one finds out who he is. Now they've found him." The Doctor sighed and shook his head.

"People that are meant to be dead are very far away from that fate." He opened the Tardis door and gestured her to go first. "That could send cracks throughout time. One person can change a lot. In her case she could have a child or grandchild that becomes key in the events to some major event."

"What if you did something that was the cause of an action later in the future? Or could cause something bad to happen? Would you be able to change it?" The Doctor looked down at her, his gaze piercing.

"You have to judge each case individually."

"Right."

"Why, what are you afraid of? What have you done?"

"I haven't done anything." The Doctor stared at her hard for a long moment then nodded. He turned his focus towards the Tardis consol and pressed a few buttons and flicked a switch.

"We should get Katy and Ryan."

"Yeah. I hope she's okay." The Doctor nodded in agreement.

When Katy opened her eyes she glanced up and saw a pair of familiar eyes looking at her.

"Hey," she mumbled, smiling weakly up at him.

"How are you feeling?" Ryan asked

"That I'm making a bad habit," she replied. She remembered the last time she stared up at Ryan from a hospital bed.

"You're not in pain are you?" He asked concerned.

"I'd be lying if i said i wasn't, but it's not killing me," she joked.

"Katy! Thank God you're alive!" Jasmine said when she and the doctor entered the room.

"See, deja vu, bad habit," Katy muttered. Jasmine stopped walking and backed away slightly, remembering the big argument she and Katy had had. Katy sat up, pain lanced through her side and she winced.

"We should get a doctor here. A proper one" Jasmine said

"What do you mean a proper one?" Katy said, alarmed. She'd only just woken up, she didn't want to know it had been voodoo priests that healed her.

"No I didn't mean that," Jasmine said quickly as she saw Katy's reaction.

"She meant someone with a PhD not me." The Doctor explained. Katy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

"We had to go back." Jasmine replied

"What?" Katy said loudly, sitting up quickly. She winced again as she did so. "Why? He could have killed you!"

"He almost did." The doctor said but Jasmine stepped on his foot. "Ouch," The Doctor mumbled. "I mean…"

"The police got him." Katy looked at them both suspiciously. She rolled her eyes and shrugged slightly.

"One day you can tell me about it. Now I just wanna get out of here. They've been poking and prodding at my side. I may have been unconscious, but I felt it."

" Yeah, that makes no sense." Jasmine said

"When have I ever?" Katy replied. "And Jas, before I forget…I'm sorry."

"No don't be. I'm sorry; I was the one who started it. I shouldn't' have blown up at you like that. I was just being...bitchy."

"Hey it's understandable, I'm not easy to get along with, i realise that. I'm an argumentative person."

"No kidding." The doctor mumbled

"Oi," Katy said. "I heard that."

"Heard what?" Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Can we go now? Please. And preferably somewhere in the future not near a serial killer." The Doctor looked at Ryan then at Katy.

"Fine, but Katy, you have to rest until you've healed."

"But I feel fine," Katy shot back, wincing slightly. She rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed with herself. "Ok, so not fine"

"You know I know this great place where this guy--" The doctor started

"NO!" All three cut in.

Next time on doctor who: "Once upon a time there was a Time Lord."

"What's going on?" Jasmine asked no one in particular.

"This is bad." The doctor said

"That's an understatement," Ryan added.

"You're afraid of mice?" Katy asked

"Well…" The Doctor started. "They just have no purpose!"

"Who are you?" Jasmine asked the man in front of him

"Captain Jack Harkness," The Doctor told her. "Nice to see you Jack."

"And the winner is..."
