A/N: Thanks for everyone who reviewed. This chapter is dedicated to you all! Xx

Ianto slowly opened his eyes. He was covered in dust and mud and dirt. His face was scratched and his legs and body bruised. His jacket was missing and his pants torn at the knees. He tried to get up but pain channeled through his whole body. He winced. The gunshot wound was still hurting from the day before and this was making the pain 10 times worse. He inhaled deeply and pulled himself upright. He felt the wind ruffle his hair and whip against his skin which told him that he was no longer in Lois' car. The last thing he remembered was being in Jack's arms, bracing himself for death. Is that where he was? Jack always described death as darkness. Nothing more than that. He never elaborated on 'the darkness'. And Ianto sure as hell couldn't see anything. The place was as black as night. Was he dead? Was this it? Was this death? From what Jack had said numerous times, what Owen had said when he came back from the dead and what many of the corpses had said when they used the glove to bring them back to life; it was a rather fitting description to the place he was now. But… He could FEEL; he wasn't just an existence; he could feel where he was. He could feel the gravel under his feet, he could feel the wind wrapping around him, He could feel gravity keeping him fixed to the ground, he could feel the low temperature of the air. Was that part of death? He was certain that when you're dead there's no elements, no wind, no gravity. He was starting to doubt that he was in the afterlife, that he was dead. He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a small torch. He flicked it on and looked around.

Gwen slowly regained consciousness. The world around her spun into focus. Wherever she was, she couldn't see a thing. It was pitch black. Not a glimmer of light. She thought it was due to the fact that she had been unconscious for a while. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious for, but from the waves of dizziness that continued to hit her, that it had been quite a while. For a brief moment she wondered if she was dead and this was what lied beyond, but she brushed the thoughts away. After all, she was breathing and thinking and a bunch of other things she could do feel or think. She tried to get to her feet but the dizziness was to powerful and had control of most of her actions. She curled up in order to stop the nausea that was growing with every movement she took. Once she thought the nausea had passed she attempted to stand again but failed and ended up in a sitting position. The last time she had found it so difficult to stand up was at Banana Boat's Christmas party at collage and her and Rhys had drank so many shots and a vast amount of lager. She racked her brain, trying to find an explanation to why she was so sick and where the hell she was. There was a flicker of a memory in the back of her mind but it wasn't clear. She remembered being in a car with Jack and the rest of the team and being told off by Jack for asking something and she remembered being scared. But that was it. She couldn't remember anything else and what she did remember didn't tell her where she was or why she was feeling so bad. By now she figured she'd have enough strength to stand up and she was right. She was stood up. But that wasn't the problem. It was walking that she wasn't ready to do. She moved her foot trying to take a step but her knees buckled due to the dizziness she felt and she crashed to the floor, he head smacking against the ground and once again knocking her out cold.

Sarah attempted to get up for the third time. She didn't know where she was and she didn't even know if she was alive. But the one thing she did know was that she felt sick and she couldn't get up. She realized that there was something heavy and hard on her left arm and not only was her arm bleeding at an incredibly fast rate but the thing was preventing her from getting up. Her hair was died red due to the pool of her own blood that her hair was laying in. She tried to shift the object on her arm but it made the pain worse. She tried to scream but it came out as only a whimper. She inhaled deeply, trying to muster strength to shout for help.

"AHH!!" She screamed after a few moments. Then she closed her eyes and waited for someone, anyone to help her.

-------------------

Jack awoke with a huge gasp of air. He sighed. How many times had he died now? He knew it was over a thousand. Maybe even over two thousand… although if he counted all the times he had died and came back to life while he was buried alive underneath Cardiff, it was way over five thousand. He closed his eyes and exhaled; no matter how many times he died and came back, it still felt terrible, like being hauled over over broken glass. For the first few minutes after he awoke from death, he never remembered how he had ended up dying. He paused for a moment, trying to remember… then he did. He was in Lois's car, holding Ianto tightly, telling him how much he loved him, fearing death. He always feared death, which was strange for a man who couldn't die. But he didn't fear for himself, he never did, he feared death for the one's around him. Feared that he was going to lose them. Then the fear hit him again; Ianto. Was Ianto ok? If he lost Ianto he didn't know how he would cope. He tried to get up but there was something restricting him, holding him down. He felt around and discovered that it was metal. It was the mangled remains of a car. Lois's car. Something had destroyed Lois's car and killed him. But where were the others? He was with the rest of the team in the car so where were they? He shifted slightly and a piece of metal dug into his side. He yelled in pain and moved to stop the pain but instead the piece of metal ripped through his side and he died once more…

Ianto flashed his torch around. He looked at the place he was in, a strange cave like area. A few meters in front of him was a huge drop a huge hole in the ground. He shone his torch upwards and saw that there were ledges around a huge gap. He figured that he was stood on one of the ledges and there was another above and below. The hole was about 30 meters in diameter and went down as far as he could see. He heard a scream coming from somewhere nearby. Despite the pain rushing through his body and stabbing in the gunshot wound in his thigh he brushed the dirt off him, which didn't make much of a difference due to the amount of dirt on him, and ran to where the noise was coming from. He circled the whole of the cavity in the floor and he finally reached the other side. He bent down next to Sarah.

"You ok?" He asked, stroking her forehead.

"My… my arm…" She whimpered.

"Hey, it's ok…" He smiled. He shone the torch in to her left arm and noticed that her arm was lodged under a pile of rocks. He started to move the rocks off her arm and throw them to one side. Her arm was bleeding badly and the wound was rather dirty. "Urm…" Ianto tried to think of a way to dress the wound. He took of his waistcoat and wrapped it round her arm he then pulled his tie off and tied the waistcoat to her arm.

"There." He helped her to her feat. "That should help the bleeding."

""Thanks." Sarah smiled. "Where the hell are we?"

"I dunno." Ianto replied. "But the other must be nearby. We should go find them."

"Ok." Sarah nodded. "We'll go and find Jack first; he'll be able to help us find the others."

"No." Ianto shook his head and picked up his torch. "We leave Jack till last."

"Why?!" Sarah asked. "He's your FIANCÉ!"

"I know!" Ianto replied. "Look, I don't think you know yet, but Jack can't die. So we can leave him till last coz he'll be alright but the other's are in danger, we have to save them."

"Jack can't die?!" Sarah exclaimed.

"No." Ianto answered.

"Really?" Sarah smiled.

"Yup." Ianto nodded. "He's Immortal."

"Oh my god!" Sarah laughed. Ianto took her hand in his and walked with her.
