Sarah Jane was frozen with shock. She looked up and saw Luke and Clyde still aimlessly waving at the sky. They realised that the alien was gone so they turned around and saw Sarah Jane looking worried.

"What's wrong mum?" Luke asked, starting to get worried himself. "Did UNIT get Rose?"

"No, but they got Rani, and we have one week to hand over Rose before they never let her go." and with that Sarah Jane burst into tears.

Luke put a comforting arm around her shoulders and then said " don't worry, we'll think of something."

When Sarah Jane had calmed down she decided to call the Brig. His phone rang twice before a woman answered.

"Sarah Jane Smith?" she inquired.

"That's me." replied Sarah Jane, putting on a brave tone.

"I'm sorry but the Brigadier and anybody in UNIT loyal to you are temporarily detained. Sorry for any inconvinience." and with that she hung up.

Is the Brig gonna help us?" asked Clyde.

"Um...no" she spluttered and she explained what had happened.

"Well first things first, let's go and see if Rose has any ideas." said Luke.

The three ran all the way back to Sarah Jane's house. Sarah Jane, who was still in shock about Rani, fumbled with her key but eventually made it inside. They bolted up the stairs and saw Rose standing up inside the containment vortex, with her back to them pleading with Mr Smith to let her out.

"Rose?" said Sarah Jane softly.

She span around. In seeing the three standing by the doorway, she broke down in tears.

"It's all my fault, the...they took Rani. It's my fault."

"Mr Smith, release Rose." and as the containment vortex fizzled out Rose rushed out as collapsed, sobbing, onto Sarah Jane's shoulder.

When I had ceased crying I lifted my head off Sarah Jane. I glanced over at Luke who was looking a little awkward and was glancing around the room nervously. I moved my gaze over to Clyde and was slightly startled by what I saw. Clyde was glaring at me, fists clenched, knuckles white. His face showed pure rage and his eyes bored into me.

Clyde's dark face grew, somehow, redder. Suddenly the rage inside Clyde reached boiling point. He lurched out at me. I reacted fast and backed up, increasing my speed as he accelerated.

Eventually I reached the wall and Clyde grabbed me and shoved me into the wall. My head collided with the wall and my feet lifted off the ground. He shouted

"You let Rani get captured, you let my girl get taken by those twisted..." but he never finished.

The next few seconds seemed to happen in slow motion. Luke pulled Clyde away from me. I dropped to my knees, a sharp pain in my head. Sarah Jane rushed over and helped me up while Luke pulled a shouting and protesting Clyde back.

"Let me go Luke. She let Rani be taken by by UNIT. She killed Rani".

Sarah Jane stood in front of me and put an arm out to delay Clyde if he escaped Luke's grasp.

"What has gotten into you Clyde?" Sarah Jane asked Clyde gently. Clyde struggled in Luke's grip.

"Clyde, it's not Rose's fault." soothed Luke.

"She was in a containment vortex, how could she have helped?"

"Its my fault Sarah Jane" said Mr Smith "I wouldn't let Rose out, I'm sorry."

"I'm assuming you administered the antidote" she replied, wavering off his apology.

"Of course".

"Then you have done nothing wrong, if anything it's my fault. I told Mr Smith not to let Rose out unless I said so. I didn't think about Rani."

Everything around me was too overwhelming. I slipped from out behind Sarah Jane and sprinted out of the attic. I heard Luke say softly "Rose" but I kept going. Instead of leaving the house I ran to the bathroom and bolted the door. I could have left the house but I knew where ever I ran I knew UNIT would find me.

I pressed my back into the cream door and sank to the floor. It was my fault and I knew it. All I remembered was waking up to see Rani asleep on the couch opposite to the one I was on. I tried to get up but I bumped my head on the containment vortex. I sat down, knowing that I wasn't going anywhere and I then remember Mr Smith spraying something over me. As soon as the spraying had stopped I felt normal again. The drowsiness had gone. I felt free. Then there was a thud from downstairs. Rani shot up. She pressed a finger to her lips signaling for me to be quiet, but I didn't need to be told.

Rani crept over to the door of the attic. She pulled the slightly ajar door open a tiny bit more and jumped back with shock. A man walked in. He was holding a very big gun and he was pointing it at Rani. He backed her, hands in the air, into a wall. When she was still he looked away and saw me. Using the gun he shoved Rani to the ground and made straight for me. He tried to shoot at the vortex but the bullet melted away as it made contact with the shimmering containment vortex.

Nothing he tried got me out and eventually he gave up. He turned his face to Rani who was still on the ground and gave her a menacing smile that gave me and Rani a chill.

Meanwhile, Rani was unconcious. She was lying on a cold stone floor. Her cell was about as big as a toilet cubicle and it was in the centre of a vast room. Eight UNIT guards stood around the cell all with guns ready to fire if the occasion ever arose. Rani had almost no chance of escaping.

well I'm quite proud of myself. 1006 words is satisfactory. Very happy with this chapter. Please R&R and have a good day, or night depending on what time you read this. I mean it could be afternoon or morning or even past your bedtime. Well have a good time. Bye. Oh and yes to answer your question, no I'm not crazy, just a bit weird.
