"What the fuck was that thing?!" Jackie yelled speeding through the streets of London. Rose and the Doctor eyed each other "Watch the road!" they yelled together.

The Doctor sat up front in the passenger side of the Escalade and turned back to see Rose ripping Mickey's jacket off him along with his shirt.

"I'm checking to see if he has any cuts "she explained as the he gave her a strange look.

"Doctor again what the hell was that thing?!" he grimly looked over his shoulder "A Satorian like Rose was telling you earlier that is what attacked her"

Rose ran her hands down Mickey's muscled chest letting the tips of her fingers feel for slight cuts, she grasped his head and felt beneath his jaw and checked his face.

"I can't find any cuts" she reported with a sigh. "Did you check his legs and sides" Rose turned back to Mickey who was still as a statue.

Rose was in utter amazement and truth be told a little shaken. The Satorian had looked and sounded exactly like her when Mickey opened the door.

She had been sure that her heart had skipped a beat. When she saw how it threw Mickey through the air and the Doctor not even blink as he walked right up to it with his little gadget and well...for a perfect second Rose felt something warm spark in her.

"What did you do back there?" rose snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at the Doctor a serious expression on his face.

Rose bit her lip and caught her mother's eye in the rear view mirror. Rose suddenly felt something slick and cold on her fingers.

She caught the fresh scent of blood. Rose flipped Mickey on his side and her heart sunk into her stomach. A ragged cut the length of a pen was located on his side "Why didn't I smell it beforehand" she thought as she started to tear strips of Mickey's ruined shirt and pressing them down on the wound.

"Doctor his be scratched" Rose felt numb and the Doctor gave her a small smile "Don't you worry Rose everything will be alright. I promise"

The look in the Doctor's eyes made Rose shiver. Rose knew with startling reverence that she trusted the doctor. She trusted him with everything she had and more.

"Don't promise something you can't deliver Doctor!" Jackie said as she turned a sharp corner.

Rose glared at the back of her mother's head and continued to inspect the wound.

"Doctor his wound smells strange I think he's been poisoned"

"Do you have anywhere we can go away from prying eyes?" he asked Jackie who nodded.

"Yes the club but I don't know if it is any safer than my apartment and you see how that ended" she growled. She just had the place redecorated and the last thing she expected was an alien monster hell bent of fucking up to come trampling by.

"It will have to do for now. Whatever Rose did back there…never mind I know what she did…the questions how. Anyway the Satorian can't stand high frequency noises and whatever Rose did severely hurt it"

"Good" Rose growled.

"It's hurt now and I assure you highly pissed. And it will come looking for us"

"But what about the prince?" Rose asked she could feel another migraine coming on.

"Showing up looking like you wasn't just a random excuse on its part. It must have been trying to get to your mother. We just so happened to get there before he did"

"What the hell does it want with me?!" if Jackie Tyler was still alive she would have probably had a heart attack by now.

"When it took Rose's blood it took all her memories and even her appearance it knows what you know Rose" Rose paled and gave a small scream when Mickey started to convulse.

"Doctor he's seizing! What should we do!?" Rose screamed as she tried to force the bucking vampire down.

Jackie Tyler suddenly slammed on breaks and jumped out the car and flung the backseat door open.

Rose looked up and almost cried out in relieve they were at her mother's club. Jackie tossed the doctor the key to open the big steel side doors.

"Hurry up Rose grab his feet and for fuck's sake do not let him kick you!"

Rose did like her mother order and with crushing strength grabbed Mickey's legs has her mum grabbed hold of his shoulders and started to pull him from the car.

For the next five minutes they struggled to get the seizing vampire through the steel doors and onto the counter of the bar.

"Doctor what we do?!" Jackie screamed as she slammed Mickey down when shot up fangs exposed and went for her throat.

Rose looked in horror as Mickey continued to foam at the mouth. His usual chocolate brown eyes were pitch black all the way to the whites.

"We need blood whatever affects the poison has on your kind it brings your hunger to the surface full force"

"Yea but my hunger wasn't nearly as bad!" Rose yelled as she drove an elbow into Mickey's throat causing him to cough and roar.

"I'm figuring that's because your half sweetie your body doesn't react to some things like are does" Jackie told her and looked at the Doctor.

"Unlike us. Rose has a heartbeat and I can't begin to describe how she differs from us"

The Doctor began to pace back and forth all of a sudden Mickey's body just went still his mouth open like he was trying to gasp air.

"He needs blood pure human blood regardless of how rose reacted to the poison she is still half vampire…blood should reawaken his hunger and push the poison through his system!" the Doctor turned towards Jackie.

"This club does it have a blood stock somewhere?!"

Jackie nodded "Rose go down to the cellar and grab as many bags as you can"

Rose was already ahead of her, the doctor blinked as she moved in a blur and was behind the bar and gone into a dark hole before he could even link twice.

She not even three seconds late reemerged with twenty bags of blood in her arms and placed them on the table.

The doctor took one and ripped it open "Rose and you too" he nodded towards Jackie.

"Hold his head up and in place don't need him biting off my fingers the ungrateful Git" mother and daughter nodded and sat Mickey up with the Doctor's directions.

The Doctor grabbed Mickey's jaw and shoved the ripped end of the blood bag in his mouth and squeezed.

Mickey reacted instantly as his fangs popped and his tongue greedily lapped up the blood.

For the next five minutes the Doctor had to keep reaching for blood bags to rip open and shove into the hungry vampire's mouth.

Rose and Jackie held onto their friend as he moved and bucked while he feed trying to attack the source of the blood flow.

"God is this what we really all come down too…the blood"

Her mother's cool voice whispered through her head like a cool breeze and Rose didn't react sometime she and her mum communicated just like this.

"For most of us darling that is all there is we as vampires live for what seems forever and in the end that's all some of us can see"

She looked at her mother a wave of black depression threatening to crush her.

"But not you Rose your much better than us your father gave you a gift when he helped bring you into this world"

Rose just looked and her and snorted while she wrenched Mickey's head back from the Doctor's hand.

"And pray tell what that is"

"He gave you the gift of being part human. The blood and hunger will always be a part of you, but also the will to stop. The human part of you gave you a choice and it's your decision whether you let the hunger seduce its way in"

Rose shut her mental shields down and did not look her mother in her eyes "Maybe it's too late" she thought to herself.

She was guilt fully thrown from her thoughts when the Doctor grinned and looked up "His eyes are turning back normal and his feeding has slowed".

Rose and Jackie slowly let go of Mickey still ready to pounce if he so much as lunged for the Doctor.

"Hello there mate seems you've come back to us from the dead" the Doctor grinned.

Mickey gave the Doctor a weak glare and waved a hand towards the blood, Rose on the ready handed him one and he broke it open using his hands and gingerly sipped at the blood.

Rose surprised the Doctor and everyone else as she flew through the air and almost took the Doctors feet from under him as she hugged him happy tears falling from her eyes.

The Doctor smiled softly and rubbed her hair with a amused expression "I wonder if he believes us now rose"

Rose couldn't help and started to laugh.
