Chapter 10

John looked down at his hands. They were covered in blood. He fell backwards. Rose ran to his side and cradled him in her arms.

"No! No John! You stay with me!" She cried. He was looking up at her. "Think about our wedding! And all those kids we're gonna have! Yea?" John reached up and touched her cheek. She put her hand over his. "Don't you leave me! Not again!"

"Jack," The Doctor said. Jack nodded and ran after the sound of retreating footsteps. Amy stood back, her hand over her mouth. John was trying to say something.

"I'm sorry Rose," He mumbled.

"No! John, look at me! Focus on me!" Rose wept. She took John's face in her hands.

"Doctor, there's gotta be something you can do!" Amy said. She was on the verge of crying herself. The Doctor looked back at her.

"Amy," he said, "he's human." Rose looked up at him.

"Doctor?" She asked. He turned to face her. "You've got to save him! Save him for me!" She begged. The Doctor shrugged, speechless.

"Rose," John whispered. She looked back down at him. "I love you."

"I love you too John!" She told him. He sighed and his hand fell from Rose's face. "No! John? John! You can't do this! You can't leave me again!" She fell over his lifeless body and cried. Amy gasped and started to cry herself. The Doctor pulled her into a hug. Jack came back with the man who had shot John.

"I got him!" Jack shouted, victorious. Then, he saw the sad scene before them. Rose looked up at them, fire in her eyes. The Doctor looked over.

"Master?" He asked stunned. Rose jumped up and ran to The Master. She took the gun from him and placed it against his forehead.

"You killed him!" She said through gritted teeth.

"Rose, don't do this!" Jack warned. He couldn't let go of The Master to stop her. The Master would be able to get away. The Doctor walked over and placed his hand on Rose's extended arm.

"Don't Rose," The Doctor whispered. She turned the gun on him.

"Rose!" Jack yelled. "What the hell are you doing?"

"He was after you! He wanted to kill you, not John! This is all your fault!" Rose screamed at The Doctor.

"I'm sorry Rose!" The Doctor told her. "But you know a gun won't solve anything!" Rose looked at him for a long moment, then put the gun to her own head. The Doctor watched, horrified.

"Sure it can!" Rose yelled. "Without John, I don't have anything worth living for!"

"Yes you do!" The Doctor tried convincing her. "You've got your mum, and Pete, and little Tony!"

"But I loved him!" Rose screamed. Amy stepped forward.

"Rose, you don't know me but my name's Amy," Rose turned to face her. "I'm sorry for your lose but think about the others in your life. You've got parents that love you! You're so lucky to have them! I don't have my parents. I've got an aunt and she's it! Think about what it'll do to your family! And you've got to ask yourself Rose, is this what John would want you to do?"

Rose thought about her mum and Pete and how upset they'd be. Then she thought about John again and that was all she needed. She dropped the gun and fell to her knees. Amy rushed to her side and put her arms around her.

"Why, Master? Why did you do it?" The Doctor asked. The Master smiled, evily.

"The Doctor killed me. So I returned the favor," He told them. The Doctor grabbed The Master by his shirt.

"I'm The Doctor! Not him!" The Doctor yelled through gritted teeth.
