Chapter 11
"Because Ellie...if only you knew what I had to do..." he trailed off.
"What did you do with my parents?" she asked.
"I am no longer discussing this in front of the freak," he answered.
"His name is Jack Harkness...and..." she turned around and looked at Jack then back to the Master, "I love him...because he showed me the truth and helped me decipher my dreams. He is amazing...and he doesn't lie to me," she said, snapping a bit at the end of her statement.
"You're nothing but a child, you don't know what love is."
Ellie awoke with a start, she didn't know what woke her up but she just wanted to be able to have another dream with Jack in it. She wanted desperately for the door to her bedroom to swing open, bringing Jack in, he would sit down onto the bed and pull the girl into an embrace and never let go.
But he was on the Valiant and she was in 10 Downing street, and that wasn't changing anytime soon. The girl let out a sigh and pulled her phone out of her pocket, she turned it on and saw she had a new text message.
'Ellie this is Gwen, we are coming. We should arrive sometime late tonight.'
Ellie quickly replied and then pocketed the phone again, but not before she put it on silent. She then slowly climbed off of the bed and went into the bedroom, her cheek was turning black and blue from where she had been struck. She slowly touched it but withdrew her hand instantly, as her entire cheek was stinging now.
As the girl observed her reflection she couldn't help but note the sadness in her eyes. In under twenty four hours she had learned that she was an orphan, lost the only man she had ever truly loved, and learned that the man she thought was her father was just a complete phsycopath.
The girl then shut the light off and left the bathroom, she put her iPod away and then left the room. She looked up and down the hall and decided to go to the Master's old study. The door was cracked open slightly, she walked in and saw no one was around. Ellie closed the door behind her and looked around at some papers that were strewn across the desk. She went over and looked at them, scanning the papers quickly and soon enough her jaw dropped.
She now knew the complete truth and it completely horrified her, the Toclafane...the metal balls that flew all over the place, killing innocent civilians...they were the future...her own people. Probably her friends and family, all coming back to kill their ancestors.
Ellie stepped back from the desk slowly, she turned and saw Ms Reed standing in the doorway.
"So you're awake then?" she asked.
Ellie smirked, "Nah...I'm just sleep walking, what the hell does it look like?" she asked.
Ms Reed noticed the brusie on the girls face and smiled cruely, "Oh...did I do that?" she asked.
"Doesn't even bother me," Ellie snapped.
"Come now, your supper is ready. As it is, you slept right through lunch and I didn't want to see your stupid face to go and wake you up. But now that you're up, you can come downstairs and eat," Ms Reed said simply.
"Oh is it more muddy porridge?! I thought you said my father," she moved her fingers for emphasis, "trusted you with my wellbeing. How would he feel if he knew that your feeding me crap?" Ellie asked.
"For dinner you are having a tuna sandwich. I talked to your father earlier and he said it's one of your favorites," the woman answered.
Elllie looked at the woman, suspicion setting in, "I'm not hungry," she said finally.
"Elisabeth...we went over this earlier, remember? You are going to come downstairs and eat, then you're going to do the school work that your father dropped off earlier," the older woman replied, getting bored already.
"He was here?" Ellie asked.
Ms Reed nodded, "Yes, he thought that you might need your homework," she answered.
"Did he leave a message or anything for me?"
"Just the same thing, when you are over Mr Harkness he and your mother are waiting."
"Fat chance," Ellie said before brushing past the woman and heading for the stairs, which she then jogged down.
"You're going to cooperate then?" Ms Reed called.
"Sure..." Ellie began slowly, "Why not?" she asked.

"Tell me again why were going to go risk our lives to save the daughter of the biggest phsycopath that we've ever encountered?" a man driving the black military truck asked.
The girl in the passenger seat rolled her eyes as she pulled her long brown hair into a pony tail, "Because you did not hear the fear in this girls voice! I really think she is one of us now, this isn't a trap. That girl was completely terrified and she needs our help, and we owe it to Jack. They had a relationship going or something up on the Valiant, and he would never forgive us if he knew that we didn't help this girl," the woman said.
"All I'm saying is-"
"Owen! Shut up already! Either way we're going to help this girl!" the asian woman in the back seat shouted.
Gwen Cooper smirked, "You heard her Owen," she said as she leaned back a bit in the seat and checked her phone for messages.

"I'm done!" Ellie cried.
Ms Reed looked up and just waved her away.
Ellie stood up from her seat and went running up the stairs, she pulled out her phone and looked at the messages she had since recieved from Gwen.
They were just outside the city and would be there within the next half hour.
She replied back and then changed into something that she'd be able to escape better in, and made sure her things were all in her bag.
She then sat down on the bed and curled up, setting the phone in front of her, waiting for it to ring.

The beeping awoke Ellie about an hour later, she wiped sleep out of her eyes and looked at her phone, 'TORCHWOOD CALLING', she quickly pushed send and pressed the small device to her ear, "Hullo?" she asked in a soft whisper.
"Ellie? This is Gwen Cooper," came a welsh female's voice.
"Hey, where are you?" Ellie asled, even softer than before, convinced that she heard shuffling outside her door.
"Were just outside, parked by what we think might be the room thats always been used for the child of the Prime Minister, I want you to go to your window so we can tell if it's the right one or not," Gwen answered.
Ellie walked over to the bedroom and saw nothing, "I don't think you have the right window," she answered.
"We have a cloaking device on our vehicle, we wouldn't have been able to get past the Toclafane without it, but we can see you standing up in your window. I'm going to put the cloaking device on myself and throw a ladder up to you. I think you should be able to catch it, you're not too far up. Have what you need ready, we can't be out here long," Gwen replied.
"Alright..." Ellie was silent for a moment, "I have to just get something from the Masters study, I think it'll help the resistance," she said.
"While you're doing that I'm gonna start climbing up, alright?"
Ellie quickly opened her window and watched for a split second as Gwen appeared out of the truck but she became invisible once more, then out of nowhere a ladder was thrown up to her, which she grabbed and attached to the window.
"See you soon," Gwen said before hanging up.
Ellie then rushed silently out of the room, she closed the door and then silently padded up the hall to her fathers study. She opened the door and rushed over to the desk where the papers about the Toclafane were still placed. She gathered them up and held them close to her chest, she then left the study and walked back into her bedroom just in time to see Gwen climbing through the window.
"Hi," Ellie said.
"You're Ellie then? I remember seeing you on one of those ads for 'Vote for Harold Saxon!' on the telly," Gwen replied.
Ellie sighed, "Yup, thats me," she answered.
"So what are the files you got?" Gwen asked.
"Well I'll show them to you in the car, I can't risk Ms Reed coming in," the girl answered before bending down and putting the papers in her bag.
"Right, you want me to take your bag?" Gwen asked.
"Can you get it down that ladder?"
Gwen looked out the window then pressed a button on her com, "Ianto or Owen I need you to come and wait at the bottom of the ladder, catch Ellie's bag. It's not to big but I can't carry it down the ladder," she said.
"Copy that," came another welsh voice.
Ellie and Gwen looked out the window as the doors opened and two figures stood at the bottom of the ladder. Gwen picked up the bag and tossed it out, which Ellie silently thanked God, that someone caught it.
"Right you want to go down the ladder first? Or me?" Gwen asked.
Ellie thought for a moment, "You go first," she answered.
Gwen nodded and went to climb through the window. Ellie watched for a moment as then Gwen became invisible once more, she then went to climb out the window but stopped in fear as Ms Reed walked by, she cursed under her breath for not shutting the door.
"What the hell are you doing?!" the blonde woman shouted as she came back into the room.
Ellie was silent as she comtemplated a way to answer, "I erm...well? Escaping! Thats what," she answered finally.
Ms Reed then mached over and went to grab her back through the window but Ellie wouldn't let the older woman get a good enough grip on her hand. She pulled away and punched the older woman square in the nose.
"Don't ever touch me again!" With that Ellie was climbing down the ladder. She was greeted by Gwen a moment later and they rushed to the vehicle. Before speeding off, with the cloaking device on Ellie deleted her complete phone call history and left it outside, right so that when they did speed off it would be crushed, no longer useable or traceable.

"Nancy! Are you alright?" a short man who worked in the kitchen came rushing into Ellie's room, he knelt down and helped Ms Reed into a sitting position.
"Get Mr Saxon on the phone right now...his daughter has escaped," she said before groaning in pain...
