Chapter 12: Nightmares and Memories


That's how Lilly's life changed. Whenever she got a call from Torchwood, she'd never be late, no matter what.

But on the second anniversary of when the Master had taken over... Tuesday the 24th of January when Rose, Jack and Lilly had found that sign on the swimming pool door...

On her way to work she walked passed that pool and the memories flashed through her head... She walked over to the door and saw another sign there...

He will find you

It gave her shivers. Why was it even there?! She saw another sign underneath and moved the one she had just read so she could see it.

She gasped in fright. It was the same one from her memories... Rose had led Lilly and her brother to the one that used to be next to it...

Sorry we are closed.

A letter from the Prime Minister himself telling every building to close

Tuesday the 24th of January.

but beside that sign was the other sign saying:

Vote Saxon [X]

It must have been someone playing a joke, because he died... Right?


It wasn't easy, but Lilly hadn't been late. She hadn't realized that the pool was only five minutes away from Torchwood.

When she arrived she noticed Gwen's absence. "Where's Gwen?" She asked Ianto.

He shrugged. He looked quite tired. "I dunno. Maybe she's late."

"Are you alright?" Lilly asked him.

He nodded. "Yeah... I couldn't sleep last night."

"Me neither." Tosh sighed as she put her bag down on a desk. "I've been having the strangest dream..."

Lilly frowned. "A nightmare?"

Tosh nodded and so did Ianto. "I keep seeing this man..."

"Me too." Owen entered the large room. "It's so strange... It's like he's... I dunno... He's laughing."

Tosh, Ianto and Owen all stared at each other, confused. "You're all having the same nightmare?" Jack made himself known.

"But how come we're not? Tosh... Is this a joke?" Lilly asked.

Tosh shook her head. "No, I mean it! Every night I keep seeing this man laughing manically! Like he's insane."

Jack and Lilly exchanged looks. Lilly wasn't sure if she should tell them about the sign on the door, as they hadn't been told about 'the year that never was'.

"Jack, can I... um... Have a word?"

He nodded and gestured for the other's to go and work. "Shoot." He smiled.

She hesitated. "Something weired happened... Before I got here, this morning..."

"What happened?" He asked.

She couldn't bring herself to say it, so instead she said, "It's at the pool. Where I went with my... my brother and Rose two years ago on this exact date..." Jack nodded. "...You know... The day just before I met you and the doctor in my kitchen...?"

He smiled at that memory...

"Who the hell are you?" Lilly demanded.

"I'm the doctor! And he's Jack."

Lilly's eyes widened. "Jack? That's my brother's name." She stated.

Jack smiled. "Hello." He said, smirking.

"Hi." Lilly smiled back.

"And who might you be?" He asked in a seductive tone.

'The doctor' glared at him. "Stop it."

"I was only asking her name. I can't do anything around you, can I?" Jack said.

"Show me." She nodded. They told the other's where they were going and left.

Within five minutes they'd arrived. "He will find you?" Jack read, not getting why she was showing him this. Lilly pulled up again and Jack's eyes widened.

"B-but he's dead... isn't he? Jack? Please tell me? He can't be... Can he? Jack Please talk to me!?"

Jack was stunned. "Lilly... We should get back to the base. They'll get worried."

"Do you think Gwen's there by now?" Lilly asked, trying to forget about the signs.

He shrugged. "If she's not, we'll go looking for her."


A long, long, long way away, the doctor and Rose were in the Tardis. Of course, they had already met Donna and had had so many adventures together with her. But Donna was back on Earth now... Back with her family.

Rose giggled as the doctor put a Hawaiian flower necklace around his neck and a cowboys hat with sunglasses. "How do I look?"

"Ridiculous!" Rose laughed.

He grinned and took the cowboy hat and put it on her. "Allons-y!"

He opened the Tardis door and stepped outside, Rose followed. "Wow..." She said. Every planet she went on was always different to the last...

In front of her she could see an Ood. She'd already seen them once but those tentacles on the lower portions of their faces still freaked her out.

"Ah! Now, sorry. There you are. So. Where were we? I was summoned, wasn't I? And Ood in the snow, calling to me. Well I didn't exactly come straight here. Had a bit of fun, you know. Traveled about, did this and that. Got into trouble, you know me. It was brilliant. I saw the Phosphorus Carousel of the Great Magellan Gestalt. Saved a planet from the Red Carnivorous Morg. Named a galaxy Allison. Got married. That was a mistake. Good Queen Bess. And let me tell you, her nickname is no longer... ahem. Anyway. What d'you want?"

The Ood stood motionless the whole time, Rose on the other hand giggled. "You should not have delayed."

The doctor sighed. "Last time I was here you said my song would be ending soon. And I'm in no hurry for that."

"What...?" Rose didn't remember that.

He turned to her. "I'll explain later..." :D I couldn't resist

"You will come with me." The Ood stated.

The doctor took something out of his pocket. "Hold on. Better lock the Tardis." He pressed a button and the Tardis locked. "See, like a car. I locked it like a car. Like... It's funny. No? Little bit. Blimey, try to make an Ood laugh." He said the last bit to Rose.

"So how old are you now, Ood Sigma? Ah. Magnificent! Oh come on, that is. Splendid. You've achieved all this in how long?" The view of the world was spectacular and very very snowy.

"One hundred years."

Rose gasped. "But that's impossible! Right doctor?"

He nodded. "We've got a problem. Because all of this is way too fast. Not just the city, I mean your ability to call me. Reaching all the way back to the 21st century. Something is accelerating your species way beyond normal."

"And the mind of the Ood is troubled."

The doctor tilted his head a little. "Why? What's happened?"

"Every night Doctor. Every night we have bad dreams."

Within a couple of minutes they had reached the Ood Elder. "Sit with the Elder of the Ood and share the dreaming."

"So. Right. Hello." Rose and the doctor sat down.

"You will join..." Everyone held hands. They were shown a vision of The Master laughing...

"That man is dead." The doctor stated, looking at Rose.

She bit her lip slightly. "There is yet more. Join us. Events are taking shape. So many years ago and yet changing the now. There is a man, so scared."

This time they saw Donna's grandfather. "Wilfred! Is he alright? What about Donna? Is she safe?" Rose asked this time.

"You should not have delayed. For the lines of convergence are being drawn across the Earth. Even now, the King is in his Counting House."

This time a they were shown a man and what looked like his daughter, but Rose was certain she didn't know them.

"I don't know who they are." The Doctor said. "Rose?"

She shook her head. "And there is another. The most lonely of all. Lost and forgotten."

"Lilly!" Rose stated. "I thought she was with Jack!"

"We see so much but understand so little. The girl, who is she?" The Ood Elder asked the doctor.

He took a while to answer. "She was- It wasn't her fault. She was- She is a Gallifreyan. The Master was too, they're Like me. The Master took the name of Saxon. He took her against her will, even got rid of her memories as a Time Lady and Rose's memories with me. Her name is Lilly. And he corrupted her. She was forced to watch at he conquered the Earth. I reversed everything he'd done so it never even happened, but he never gave the memories back and he killed her brother. And Rose shot him. I held him in my arms, I burned his body. The Master is dead."

Rose felt slightly guilty. "And yet, you did not see." The Ood stated.

"What's that?" Rose asked.

The Ood showed them a woman, picking up the Master's ring. "Part of him survived. We have to go!" He took Rose's hand and stood up quickly.

"But something more is happening Doctor. The Master is part of a greater design. Because a shadow is falling over creation. Something vast is stirring in the dark. The Ood have gained this power to see through time because time is bleeding. Shapes of things once lost are moving through the veil. And these events from years ago threaten to destroy this future and the present and the past." The Ood stated.

"What do you mean?" The doctor asked.

"This is what we have seen, Doctor. The darkness heralds only one thing: the end of time itself. Events that have happened are happening now."
