I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, please don't kill me. Look, I've put up two new chapters for you, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Now, I know a lot of you are starting to get a little impatient for answers and you'll probably get to the end of this and want to kill me but I'm asking you to wait just a little bit longer. I promise I'll put some answers in the next chapter, honest. I'm starting to get a little said now cause we're nearing the end of my first story but it means you'll get your answers soon. Ah well, I'll just start another one.
Anyway, enough of my rambles, on with the show!
Someone was interfering with his plans.
The Dreamlord slumped angrily in a chair.
He could sense the psychic whispers as they tried to alter HIS creation, making it easier for his victims to escape. Moving Amy into a position of power and giving her the ability to defeat him.
This mystery person wouldn't get away with it.
'Time for a little espionage.' He chuckled evilly. He turned to the window. 'What do you think?'
The Dreamlord could faintly make out the Doctor's slumped outline amongst the stars outside, his image faint like a reflection. He glared out from underneath his fringe.
'Now, now, don't fret. I'll only be gone a little while,' the Dreamlord mocked him with a sly smirk. 'I just have to find out who is helping Amy out. You never know, you might see her soon. Call it a treat.'
He gave the Doctor one last evil grin before turning and disappearing into the ethers of the dream.
The Doctor sighed in relief and closed his eyes.
(…)
She realised he couldn't see or hear her.
The shadow of Captain Jack just looked right through her.
Rose was starting to get annoyed with the Ood for putting her in this situation.
Amy, Jack and the Doctor…It was tearing her heart apart.
The fact that the 'Captain' couldn't see her meant that he was connected to the Dreamlord somehow and the Ood were trying to protect her. What was worse, he seemed interested in Amy and not in the usual 'Captain Jack' way.
She'd have to be careful.
Looking over his shoulder she could see the schematics of satellite five up on the screen. Little lights that represented life signs moved around the screen.
'There's floor 500.' Kapil pointed out excitedly.
Amy's scrunched up her forehead in thought. 'How do we get up there?'
'There are stairs.' Joktan pointed to the zigzag pattern that was meant to be a representation of stairs.
'No, that'd take to long.' The Captain busied himself in the computer for a few minutes before he found what he was looking for. 'Ah ha, result! There's another layer to the map.'
He hit a button and new symbols appeared on the map.
'A lift!' Kapil pointed out excitedly. 'That'd get us to floor 500 really quickly.'
'Yes it would.' The Captain grinned at the little boy's excitement.
Rose decided it was time to point something out to them. 'Amy, look.' She pointed to floor 500. 'Notice anything strange?'
Amy scrunched her face in thought. 'No, there's nothing up there.' She said quietly.
'Exactly.'
It took Amy only a couple of seconds to piece it together. 'There's nobody up there!' She exclaimed loudly, drawing the attention of the boys.
They looked at her in confusion.
'Look, can't you see. Nothing is showing up there. If it's the way out wouldn't you expect there to be something registering on this?' She gestured vaguely at the screen.
'You're right!' The Captain exclaimed in what Rose decided was an unCaptain-ish way.
'Then why would that man tell us to go up there?' Joktan asked impatiently.
'He could be leading us into a trap.' Jack mused, studying the map.
'Then where are we supposed to go?' Joktan said angrily.
'Let's see…' The Captain tapped frantically at the keyboard.
The screen flickered and the small dots that represented people faded until there was only one.
'What's that?' Kapil asked curiously, pointing to the out of place dot.
'An anomaly.' Jack said distractedly. 'Something that's different from everything else. It might be our way out.'
'What floor is it?' asked Joktan.
'Floor 225. We can take the lift.' Jack answered and turned with a swirl of his great coat. 'Let's go.'
Everyone stood there stunned as they took in what he had said.
'Well, let's go. Chop, chop.' Rose said with a grin and they hurried after the man. She made to follow them but paused when she heard something behind her. Something was coming.
A blue light moved through the darkness towards her and a Dalek moved silently into the light of the room.
Rose jumped back but the Dalek kept moving towards her.
Belatedly she realised that the Dalek, like everything else that was part of this dream state, couldn't actually see her.
It could see her friends though and that could be a problem.
Gathering her mental power she wiped the Dalek out of the dream. Taking one last look around, she turned on her heel and ran to catch up with the others.
