A/N : Don't own doctor who. Thanks for the reviews, they's greatly appreciated, especially when I have a bad case of writer's block. I just want to apologise for my bad writing - first of all I haven't been spelling Doctor with a capital like I should have done and I've made various grammer mistakes, so thanks to people for pointing them out. I've tried a little harder in this chapter.
The tardis had calmed down now but all the power was gone. The three of them picked themselves up off the floor and Mickey and Rose glanced towards the doctor, for an explaination about the sudden power cut. Something is getting inside the tardis warned inside the doctor's head. I'm trying to stop them, that's why I cut the power but it's not working, be careful, Rose and Mickey noticed the doctor looked worried about something so Rose walked towards him and put her hand on his arm, comfortingly,while he put the sonic screwdriver back in his pocket where he'd taken it out a few moments ago to check if anything was wrong with the console."Doctor what's going on?" Rose finally asked.
"Do you really want to know?" the Doctor looked at her grimly.
"Yes" she replied firmly.
"Don't panic but something's trying to get inside and the tardis basically shut itself down to try to stop it. Unfortunately it seems to be getting through anyway". Rose's eyes widened in alarm so the Doctor pulled her into a tight hug.
"How do you know that?" she asked.
"The tardis told me" he replied and took in the sweet scent of her hair as he held onto her tightly.
"What's trying to get in?" Mickey piped up suddenly, from across the room. The doctor let Rose go and turned to look at him.
"I don't know but if it does get in I won't let it hurt either of you" the Doctor vowed looking at them seriously.
"You always say that and then I find myself dangling upside down off a pole, ready to be cooked and eaten alive by a tribe of savages" Rose muttered but the Doctor heard it and threw her a hurt look.
"That was once"
"Or how about the time when those 10 foot tall rabbits chased us through a burning city?" Mickey added and the Doctor glared at him viciously.
"Okay enough" Rose said, sensing an argument, ignoring the fact that it was her who nearly started it. "We need to figure out what we're going to do". The doctor looked at her gravely.
"Theres nothing we can do Rose. Anything powerful enough to get inside my ship even when it's shut itself off and put up it's strongest defensives, is obviously a very dangerous and powerful force . I'm sorry but your right, I can't promise to protect you, not anymore. I've nearly lost you twice in the past three days altogether and it was my fault for not looking after you enough.I just want to say sorry that it's about to happen again." he said softly. Rose looked at him for a few moments before grabbing his suit, pulling him closer and brushing her lips against his. Then she pulled away and ignored his suprised gaze.
"None of this was your fault and I wouldn't of missed it for anything. I don't regret coming with you for one second so would you shut up about it alright ? and quit blaming yourself!" she told him, meaning every single word. The doctor gazed at her intensely and kissed her again. After they pulled apart again he looked as if he was about to say something but before he could there came a bright light and the three of them were pulled away from the tardis.
When Rose woke up she found herself in a small, damp cave. She had no idea where she was since there was no windows but she did spot something that looked very much like a door. Rose stood up and walked over to it then pushed with all her strength to try to get it to roll open but nothing happened. Rose shivered. Wherever this cave was it was bloody freezing and it didn't help that all she wore was black cotten shorts and a blue t-shirt, Rose thought miserably and sat down on the cold, hard, stone floor. What the hell was going on and where was the Doctor and Mickey? she remembered them being in the tardis, in the dark, and then a bright light carried then off somewhere in different directions. Rose realised in horror this had happened before. When they ended up on the game station, they'd been brought there through by a transmat beam. A few moments later, the cave door rolled open and a human woman walked in with a cold expression plastered on her aging face. Her dark brown, greying hair was tied back in a tight bun and she wore a black skirt suit.
"Who are you?" Rose demanded as the woman slammed the door shut.
" Teresa Phillips" she replied."You are Rose Tyler, one of the doctor's companions"
"So what if I am?" Rose asked curiously.
"Guards" she yelled and two purple aliens, wearing matching black uniforms, marched in and grabbed hold of Rose's arms. Rose started to protest and kick about but one of them shot her with a tranquliser dart with a gun they had on their belts and Rose passed out. Teresa smirked and walked out.
The Doctor wasn't amused to open his eyes and find himself tied down on a cold, metal table in a plain white room. They'd obviously been captured and somebody wanted something with him. But then he found himself worrying, what about Rose and Mickey? what have they done with them? what if they'd hurt Rose? he suddenly felt guilty as he realise he was more worried about Rose than Mickey the idoit. He noticed that he'd been stripped off everything except his boxers. Where the hell was he exactly? he thought and a few moments later his questions were about to be answeared as a middle aged woman in a black skirt suit walked in."Doctor" she hissed coldly."We have been looking for you for a long time and if you don't do as we say your little human friend will be space dust" the woman switched on a screen that was placed infront of him and he showed Mickey sat in a cold, dark, cave, looking depressed.
"Whatever you want with me, you don't need him so let him go" The Doctor pleaded and his hearts sank as he realised Rose wasn't with Mickey.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible. I obey only my master" the woman replied, flicking the screen off again.
"What've you done with Rose?" The doctor asked, worriedly. This would be the third time in four days that Rose had been taken and nearly killed. He wasn't going to let this time end any differently from the others, he was getting Rose back one way or another and finding out what the hell this woman wanted with him.
"She is alive that's all you need to know" she replied coldly before signalling to the guards to do something. Before he knew what was happening, one of the purple men stood near the door, came forward and dug a needle into his arm causing him to fell alseep.
