Chapter 14
"But how did she do it?" Was Amy's voice, so far away, almost as if hearing it underwater.
"She can heal herself by soaking up energy, but I didn't think she could do it to others." The Doctor's voice.
"Then why did she get her wounds." Jack or maybe Rory? The voice was too far away to tell anything but they were masculine.
"I don't know," The Doctor said, there was a noise of the sonic screwdriver running up and down.
"As far as I can tell she switched some of her own energy with Winter's."
"What does that mean?" Amy asked.
"I think it means, for an unknown period of time Winter is going to have accelerating healing abilities."
"And her?" Jack, definitely Jack.
"Well, I'm not sure, but if I were to guess, I'd say she got some TARDIS."
Fawks frowned. And reality came to her from a squeeze of her hand. Someone had been holding it.
"I'm getting sick of sitting at your bedside," Winter's voice rang out clear at her side.
"Ugh… what happened?" She groaned. Looking up into a pair of purple eyes.
"You took away my pain." Winter said quietly.
"Only fair, I was the one who caused it." Fawks replied. Sitting up, god, she felt awful. Winter pushed her back down.
"You're hurt. Lie down." She said. Fawks looked around, they were in Winter's room.
"What were you saying?" She asked.
"You healed Winter, by switching some of your energy for hers, so she can heal, for god knows how long as well as you can."
"Don't test that theory, though," Jack said.
"And me?"
"Well along with Winter's recent injuries," Fawks looked down at herself, a thick bandage was wrapped around her stomach. And there was a clear bite mark on her chest.
"We think you got some TARDIS." Winter said, tapping her head.
"How? It's behind a barrier."
"You know when there's a fire, and it's in a shut room," The Doctor said. "But then you open a door and it jumps from one place to the other."
"So, the TARDIS jumped?" Fawks said.
"Not quite, like you said, there's a barrier in Winter's head, so when you opened the link hardly anything got through, the barrier is still there but there'll be some in your head to, just a spark or, a ghost of a spark." The Doctor said. Shining the sonic in Fawks' eyes. She waved him off.
"Brilliant. More things in my head, just what I need." She grumbled. She tried to sit up again and Winter growled. Actually growled.
"Looks like you got a demon personality trait too," Fawks smirked. Winter rolled her eyes.
"We need to go fix your strap," Jack said, looking between Winter and Fawks. He nodded out the door and Winter turned and mimed a silent "Thank you," As they left.
"How do you feel?" Fawks asked Winter.
"Fantastic. You?"
"Crap, but I've had worse, I got hit by a train and survived, so I'll be ok." Fawks rolled onto her stomach.
"Are you sure that's clever?" Winter asked, gesturing to the cuts on her stomach.
"Meh, I don't care. Why am I only in underwear?"
"We had to check any damage, and please, it's not like you mind." Winter smiled.
"That's not what I meant, I meant why's it only me in underwear?" Fawks smirked.
"You're hurt." Winter sighed, rolling her eyes with a smile.
"So, just be gentle with me," Fawks smirked, pulling Winter closer. "Besides, I'm leaving, and as I distinctly remember, I didn't get last lay, last time. So…"
"You know, you didn't have to do that?" Winter said, her hands running over the bandages wrapped around Fawks' stomach, Winter was curled into Fawks' side, her head resting on the older woman's shoulder. The demon opened her tired eyes and looked at Winter, amused.
"I thought you liked it when I-"
"Not that." Winter laughed, pinching Fawks' hip lightly.
"Oh, so you do like it when I-"
"I'll hit you in a second," Winter laughed. Fawks smiled and leaned her head on top of Winter's.
"You didn't have to heal me," She said.
"Yes I did," Fawks said, "you deserve more, but that's the most I could do with what I had. Besides, you got me a dragon. I felt bad, I didn't get you anything."
"Yes, because you never get me presents." Winter said sarcastically, holding up her bracelet that couldn't be removed. Fawks smiled.
"Speaking of presents I made you something, but it's in my trousers, and they're all the way over there…" She turned and pouted at Winter.
"You want me to go over and get them, don't you." Winter deadpanned.
"Well, I am injured." Fawks nodded, biting back a smile.
"Rubbish," Winter sighed, climbing out of bed, dragging the sheets with her and padding to the clothes folded on the chair. "You just want to see me walk across the room naked,"
"That too," Fawks laughed. "In the back pocket. And why on earth do you have a toga?" Winter turned and hung on the back of the door was her purple toga.
"You sent me to Rome," Winter said. Turning and giving the demon a playful glare.
"You always wanted to go to Rome."
"Not Ancient Rome."
"Oh…My bad, universal travel is hard to do," Fawks smiled.
Winter dug in Fawks' pocket and pulled out a small blue velvet ring box.
Fawks laughter echoed in the room,
"Relax," She chuckled. "I'm not asking you to marry me, god, the look on your face then." She laughed, tugging Winter back down next to her.
"It's a comm. ring." Fawks said, opening the lid of the box. Showing a small silver ring, with three pale green gems embedded in the metal.
"The gems are shards of my broken Time Crystal," Fawks explained. "it matches mine." Fawks said, holding up her hand to show her wearing an identical ring. Winter noticed something she hadn't before. On the inside of Fawks arm was a tattoo, wrote in elegant letters was
Gaeaf. Followed by a single violet snowflake.
"You've got my name tattooed in Welsh on your arm." Winter smiled. Fawks looked at her arm.
"Oh, yeah, I got that ages ago. I was bored, and I missed you. Anyway…" Fawks held the box to Winter.
"You hate rings." she said, nodding to the one on Fawks' finger. As she slid it onto her right hand.
"Yeah, but I'd wear anything for you." Fawks said. "Now it works a little bit like a manipulator. In which if you take it off, it will send a message to me and I'll think you're dead so do me and my heart a favour, keep it on, or if you are taking it off, tell me first and when you put it back on let me know your ok. Because I'll be panicking constantly if you don't."
"It works both ways right?"
"Of course." Fawks said.
"How does it work?"
"Simple, if you take it off, my ring will heat up, and vice versa."
"And how will I tell you?"
"Try rubbing the stones." Fawks smiled. Winter looked confused but did it anyway. With a buzz a hologram of Fawks popped up in front of her and waved.
Winter looked to her side where Fawks was waving, she laughed and rubbed the stones again and the hologram disappeared.
"It'll beep if you're getting a message. If you need me, for anything whatsoever. A laugh, a cry, a quickie behind the shed because you're bored of Jack,"
Winter nudged her playfully.
"Anything, any trouble anything at all, I'm here, I'll drop anything and come to you. I promise. I've learned from my mistake this time, I can't lose you, even when I'm not around, you have to be."
Winter smiled and leaned over, kissing Fawks on the cheek.
"And if I ever see or hear anything about Kam. I'll let you know," Winter said, admiring the silver ring.
"If I can't get here to him, and you find him-"
"Of course I'll look after him." Winter smiled before Fawks' even finished.
"You know, I'm thinking that somewhere in a universe far away there's an us that are genuinely together."
"Another life," Winter mused, leaning against her.
"In another life, I would be your girl." Fawks sang softly.
"We'd keep all our promises,
Be us against the world,"
"In another life, I would make you stay," Winter continued.
"So I don't have to say you were,
The one that got away."
"Sap." Winter laughed, hugging her.
"Yeah, but only for you."
"Right." The Doctor said as the TARDIS landed. "Here we are, Blorox 9. The world biggest space harbour."
"Brilliant." Fawks said, looking around the busy harbour. Fredrick rustled his wings on her shoulder.
She made her way out of the TARDIS and was followed by the rest of the Time travellers. She hugged the Doctor as he passed her her manipulator.
"Thanks, Old man." She grinned. Strapping it onto her arm.
She caught Amy and Rory in a hug with a smile and turned finally to Jack and Winter. Fredrick with a small rustle hopped onto Winter and curled around her before jumping back onto Fawks. She held her hand out to Jack.
"Still mad at me, Captain?"
"I'm always mad at you." He said, disregarding her handshake and pulling her into a crushing hug.
"Truce?" Jack asked.
"For now." Fawks smiled. She turned to Winter.
"You'd think we'd be pro at this by now." Fawks smiled sadly.
Winter stood forward and wrapped her in a huge hug, kissing her gently.
"You're not going back, are you?" Winter whispered.
"Not yet." Fawks shook her head, pulling back with her hands on Winter's shoulders. "I'm not ready yet, I'm still a little lost. But, thanks to you, I'm on my way."
"Are we going to see you again?"
"Definitely," Fawks winked. "Anything, remember," She smiled. Kissing the ring on Winter's hand. "And I don't know about you, but I'm full of more adventures."
"Goodbye, Fawks." Winter smiled, stepping back into Jack.
"Until the next time." Fawks grinned. She typed in a few commands on her manipulator and a glow echoed behind her.
"Oh, and Jack." She said, before she turned into the light. "Can I be Maid of Honour?" She grinned before turning back into the light with her mask on, her hat low and the dragon sat on her shoulder. The light disappeared with an echo of her laughter and everyone turned to Jack with expecting looks.
Jack looked down at Winter's raised eyebrows.
"Nothing." He assured her. "Really, nothing, no idea what she was going on about." Jack said quickly, looking between the Time Travellers. "So who wants to go look at the ships." He said with bravado heading of to the port.
The Time travellers shared a smile before following the captain. Winter looked at where the demon had disappeared to.
"Troublesome." Winter smiled, shaking her head and rushing to catch up with Jack.
So, yeah I got another mostly unremovable piece of jewellery on Winter, who cares ;)
(Jack will) Fawks! shh. Right, sorry…
This was where this story was originally going to end and I was going to go into a new one, however, now it's not, Fawks' journey is going to continue from here as she's still got a few lessons to learn and as she told Winter, she's still a little lost, so, it will carry on here but it's just me Bad2Wolf2Mcgee is as much in the blue as the rest of you from now on :P However, I have my big exams coming up (apparently there important, GCSE's or something like that…) so the updates will be slower until 27thJune, my last exam and then we should be all up and running again, I have a basic plan and that its just finding the time to write up ideas into a readable sentence :P So, yeah, that's about it really oh! And Winter and Fawks' ring, there's a picture on my profile if you want to know :P And the song they were singing is not mine it belongs to Katy Perry, called The One that Got Away
