Ok, if you see words in italics then it's a flashback! Ok, I have to say, I LOVE this chapter soooo much :D It's foreshadowing something that is going to happen in a REALLY long time in my story! Thank you all for reading, Please R&R!
The Doctor's face turned as white as snow, "What was that? Non-human?" He laughed nervously, "No, your device must have gotten it all wrong! I'm human!" The Doctor grabbed my hand.
I said in a shaky voice, "Run. Back to the TARDIS, go!" I turned, dropped the Doctor's hand, and grabbed Jack's hand as we ran back to the TARDIS. I looked behind me, expecting to see the Doctor following, but instead I saw something that made me want to scream. The Judoon that held the scanning device moved in one swift movement and seized the Doctor. The Doctor struggled in the Judoon's arms, he looked so scared.
"DOCTOR!" Jack and I both screamed.
"Go, you'll find me, just go. Leah, the TARDIS will follow your commands. Take care of yourselves." He said in defeat.
I tried to run after them, but I was lifted off my feet by Jack. He struggled to carry me on board the TARDIS. I hit his arm, and tried everything I could to make him let me go, "Jack! Let me go!" I sobbed, "Jack, Please!" He made it successfully into the TARDIS.
He locked the door behind us, and he set me down. I quickly removed my spacesuit, man was it stuffy in that thing. Jack took his suit off too, and moved towards me. He engulfed me in a hug as I sobbed into his chest.
He tried to comfort me, "Shhh, Leah it's going to be okay, I promise. The Doctor always finds a way out of these situations." But he said it like he was trying to convince himself too.
Still in the hug, I looked up at him and whispered, "Why didn't you let me go after him? I could of saved him!"
"They would of shot you! Judoon won't shoot you down, unless you give them a reason too. Coming after them, and trying to pry the Doctor from their grasp is probably provoking them enough to shoot you down."
"You forget I'm a time lord though. I would of been ok!" I said in retaliation.
"Leah I'm not sure about you. Yes, you wouldn't of died, but you might of regenerated."
"What do you mean, 'might' of? I'm a time lord I would of regenerated."
"Well you sure didn't when Rose shot you." He shrugged.
"Oh my god. I never thought about that! What the hell is wrong with me?" I rambled off.
Jack laughed, "Oh, nothing is wrong with you." He said seductively.
I slapped his arm, "Now is NOT the time for that Jack! WE have to find the Doctor. That's our main priority, and I'm not letting anything come in the way of me finding him." I said sternly.
Jack's face dropped a bit, "Sorry. Right, finding the Doctor. Well how the hell do we do that?"
"It's pretty obvious Jack! The Judoon ship is just about to launch, and if we follow it, we find the Doctor. Does that make the SLIGHTEST bit of sense to you?" I seethed anger.
Jack held up his hands defensively, "Yes it does make sense. I'm not stupid you know. Just because I'm not some brilliant time lord like you and the Doctor are, doesn't make me STUPID!" His voice rose to a yell, "AND I'M SORRY I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT AS IMPORTANT TO YOU AS THE DOCTOR IS!"
Now he was just making me more angry then I already was. Normally, I'm not one to yell, but I needed to run some steam off, "JACK! THE DOCTOR IS THE ONLY OTHER PERSON LEFT OF MY SPECIES. NOW, IF YOU HAVE ANY ROOM LEFT IN YOUR BRAIN TO ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF, CAN YOU TRY TO SEE WHY I'M CONCERNED ABOUT FINDING HIM?"
Jack stopped yelling, but now he talked in an eerily calm tone, "I don't just think about myself, Leah. It would surprise you how little I think about myself. And yes, I get why you want to find him, but can't you just lighten up?"
I replied, "Right, because other people are probably running through your mind too. Probably about how much you'd like to shag them! Captain Jack Harkness, the man who would do anything with a pulse!" I took a breath, "And I'm NOT lightening up!"
"Then let's find him." Jack said coldly. And I had no idea that those would be the last words he would say to me for a while. I turned to face the control panel and concentrated. I pulled up the screen that would allow me to see the Judoon ship. I moved the camera around so I could scan for the ship. Bingo.
"AHA! There we go," I said, pushing a couple of buttons, "Ok, tracking on to the Judoon ship, now!" The ship took off into the darkness of space. I ran around to the opposite side of the control panel, and pumped in the lever. I punched in some numbers, and the TARDIS was flying its way to the Doctor. The TARDIS shook with rage, and I think she was worried about the Doctor too. Not very many people knew it, but the TARDIS was in fact alive.
Not one word between me and Jack was exchanged throughout the journey, and I didn't like it. But I didn't try and make conversation either. Finally, the TARDIS came to a halt. I checked the camera on the screen to see where we were. Oh boy, were we in a 'fun' situation. I knew this place, but it was from a long time ago. We were at the headquarters of the Shadow Proclamation. I ran to the door of the TARDIS, but before I left, I looked back to check on Jack.
I mumbled, "Um, we're here. If you want, you can come with. Or you can just sit here. Whatever.." I trailed off. He didn't look like he was going to move any time soon, so I left. As I stepped out of the door, I immediately ran into a Judoon.
"State your business here." The Judoon stated. It must of been one of the Judoon from the Moon, or it wouldn't of been speaking English.
"I'm here to find a friend? He was taken here by one of your people." I told it. Was it a him, or a her? Oh well, I'll just call it an it.
"Where was your friend taken from?" It questioned me.
"The Moon. Well, to be specific, Earth's Moon. In the Milky way galaxy."
The Judoon paused, then after about a minute of awkward silence it stated, "Access denied. That occupant is not under any circumstances to be removed."
"But we need him! The whole of time and space depends on that man! If you don't let me take him, then the entire universe is damned! I hope you realize the importance of this!" I begged. Without any other words, the Judoon walked off. I looked around to see if anyone else was here. There was a man slouched in the corner of the room. He appeared to be human, but you never could tell. Actually, he was pretty handsome. He was tall, not really long, but not short dark brown hair. And he was wearing red suspenders, with a tweed jacket and bow tie! How ridiculous, I thought to myself. The man looked up at me, and smiled like we were long lost best friends. I gave him a look that said, 'um, do I know you?' And he stared blankly back at me and gasped. Quickly he yelped, "Seriously? I'm crossing time lines AGAIN?"
I looked at him like he was crazy, but I needed to focus. Get the Doctor, get the Doctor, "I guess I'll have to be off then." I said sarcastically. And I strolled down the hallway to go find the Doctor. On my left there was a computer, obviously for someone who manages the cells here. Before taking any actions, I reached into the pocket of my jacket and brought out the sonic screwdriver.
The Doctor's face turned as white as snow, "What was that? Non-human?" He laughed nervously, "No, your device must have gotten it all wrong! I'm human!" The Doctor grabbed my hand.
The Doctor knew that I would be coming for him, of course he did! That's why, when he grabbed my hand, he placed his sonic in it. It was easy not to tell Jack I had it, there's a lot of things I don't tell him. It was strange, I knew what setting to set the sonic screwdriver to. I soniced the computer screen and talked to myself, "Ok, have to find the Doctor. Let's see here," I soniced it again, "Aha! Here we are, just need to take a left turn down this hall. Third door on the right." I smiled and ran off down the hall.
Thank god no one was coming, I would of been doomed. I slowly approached the Doctor's door. Taking in a deep breath, I soniced the door. Click, open! I quickly, but silently, pulled open the door. Sitting with his knees pulled up to his chest in the back corner, was the Doctor. He looked up, and I guessed he wasn't expecting to see me quite so soon. His face instantly lit up like a kid's face on Christmas morning.
"Leah!" He gasped, jumped up and ran towards me, engulfing me in a big bear hug.
I took in a sharp and shaky breath, "Doctor!" We stood there for a good minute or so just hugging. I pulled out of the hug and said, "Ok, as much as I would love to catch up, we need to get back to the TARDIS before something comes along." The Doctor nodded and grabbed my hand. We exited his room, and closed the door. We looked to see if anyone was in the hall. Clear.
We ran as I led him back to the TARDIS. Eventually we came to the main room where the TARDIS had landed. We didn't even bother to check if anyone else was in the room, who cares now? I had the Doctor back, and I was happy. We reached the familiar blue doors of the TARDIS, and the Doctor happily ran in. I followed, but before I closed the double doors, I looked back to see if that strange man was there. And there, standing in the corner, clear as day, there he was.
"GO!" He shouted, "QUICK!" And I quick ran into the TARDIS. I ran right through Jack and the Doctor reuniting, and I slammed into the the control board.
"Leah, you alright?" The Doctor asked me in concern. I didn't even acknowledge him, I just typed in coordinates to get us the hell out of here. After what seemed like too long for my liking, the TARDIS dematerialized. I quickly brought up the camera screen to view the Shadow Proclamation base. Jack and the Doctor came up behind me. And right there on the screen, the base blew to bits before our eyes.
Sorry for the Cliff hanger! :D
