Chapter 10

Energy

TARDIS

The Doctor woke up alone. The door unlocked, open, and letting a chilling breeze in. He lifted himself off the bed taking in the sent of his Rose. It may be the last time. Death awaited. Satan. The devil. Lucifer. His end. Might as well start now. He made his way down the twisting halls that got longer and more endless with each step. Every step forward was another three it grew. She resisted. His TARDIS held him back from the end if that hall. Away from that endless black hole that filled with the awaiting danger and overall destruction it would cause.

"I will go, I will fix this, and I will win. Don't you worry about me, old girl. We have had the best of times, the absolute best. I wouldn't give anything in replace of the places you have taken me," he slid down the wall, tucking his legs in, resting his ear against the cold metal panels. He could hear her soft hum. A sadness vibrating from her very core. "You stole my hearts and gave me two worth beating. You are truly the one thing that I would never loose. I have lost too many people, too many friends, but I never lost you. But I'm not going to lose you, because you are too good to lose. But we will part, I can feel it. But that's good, better. But now...now we have to fix this. Help me, I need you," a tear slid down his cheek into the cold metal wall, this was his goodbye.

Crowley was in the doorway, gazing out into the vast emptiness of space. The cold air blew threw the room blowing Rose's blonde hair away from her soft face.

"Ready?" Crowley whispered.

"Yes," the Doctor stood beside the possessed Rose pointing out into the black hole. "You see, if we even get close too that we will be sucked in and never be able to get out, but Time Lords created something for exactly this. They knew when creating such things one may need to retrieve something from inside. It takes a lot of energy and I need something of what we are trying to get, something that will chemically link us to what is inside, without it who knows what could come out," Crowley looked hard into the hole, his eyes burning the beauty of his humans.

"I may have something," and he was gone.

London

Sam shoved the loose change into his pocket and held tight to the warm pie in his hands. Dean was probably off sleeping and here I am in the freezing cold buying him fucking pie. He stepped off the curb into the street hailing a taxi. So cold, so wet, god I hate it here.

"Can I catch this one with you?" Sam looked down to see a blonde girl, pretty, very pretty actually.

"Uh, yea," He smiled. Very, very pretty.

"Names' Rose,"

"Sam," he smiled back.

"Well, Sam, I have somewhere else you might want to go," She raised her hand, her eyes shifting to a glossy back and touched his cheek.

TARDIS

Within seconds of Crowley disappearing he was already back standing beside a tall man, his eyes wide and arms crushing an oozing pie.

"This is just what you need, Doctor," She purred pushing Sam out into the middle of the room. Sam looked around wildly, breathing heavily.

"Who are you?" he asked, turning back to the girl.

"Don't you remember me Sammy? You've only been hunting me down for ages!" she laughed, an icy evil sound. The Doctor cringed.

"Crowley," Sam sighed. She smiled.

"Now, alien boy, get to work," The Doctor nodded, his chest empty and cold. This is it. "I'll be out, don't wait for me and don't think I won't know what you're doing," and she was gone. Sam looked around the room, This isn't right. The Doctor stood, helplessly looking at Sam, thinking of what was to come.

"You're the Time Lord, the alien about to destroy the world," Sam muttered. The Doctor swallowed.

"Not if I have anything to do with it,"

"Then why?"

"Rose, he has my Rose," Sam nodded, he knew if Dean was held captive he would tear the world apart to save him. Hell, he has.

"In there, in that black hole, is the purest evil I have ever faced. And it's my job to get him out, but i need you. I need something that has come into contact with what I'm trying to retrieve or i could pull anything out, and who knows what is in there. You have come into contact with the devil, have you not?"

Sam froze, that time in the cage, the time he thought was unforgettable he actually forgot only now to have it flood his mind again. The pain, the heat, the crumbling of his entire being. He nodded, his hand subconsciously rubbing the side of his head. As far as he knew a part of him was still in there.

"I need you to help me. I swear once i have my Rose, once she's safe I will fix everything," The Doctor pulled Sam over to the console, taking his hand and strapping it down to a clean never used pad. "This will link you to whatever is inside there, is there's a match strong enough and power great enough it will pull whatever it is out," thousands and thousands of little needles pricked into Sam's hand, sending a tingling pain up his arm. He loud out a muffled moan of pain and dropped the pie to the ground. Dean would be mad he thought. The pain traveled through his body, searching for something to hold on to. The Doctor frantically punched in the location of the black hole and as he hit enter the TARDIS vibrated with pure power. The power surged through Sam, breaking apart every atom and sifting through his very being. His skin grew hot, glowing a soft yellow, He crumpled into the controls, screaming in pure agony. "

Not enough power," the Doctor yelled. He looked down to his own hand, so much power within him, so much that could be spared in place of his Rose. The Doctor held his hand on to Sam's, forcing his Time Lord energy into him. "For Rose," he whispered. They screamed, the power too much for them to bare.

Burning. Hot. Cold. Ice. Energy. So much pain. Then everything was black, and a soul tearing growl was echoed through their minds.

Sorry, it's been so long. :c
