I don't know why this wasn't working earlier today when I first published it but here it is again. Hopefully it works this time.
She was drowning. A dark blue liquid surrounded her, it wasn't water, she knew that much. She tried to rip the tubes that were attached to her stomach out but they wouldn't budge. She tried to swim up to escape where ever she was. Finding that up was a useless direction as the tubing was holding her in place her she started to bang on the glass walls that surrounded her. She tried to scream but the blue liquid was quickly filling into her mouth and lungs.
"Rose! Rose! Wake up!" He shook her as she screamed in her sleep. He couldn't get her to wake up and it was terrifying him. "ROSE!" She let out another scream as she started to pound her fists against his chest.
She kept pounding on the glass until she heard it crack. She thrust her entire body into it and it broke. The liquid as well as her spilled out onto the floor. She stood up her feet trembling. She gripped the tubes that were protruding from her stomach and pulled at them with all of her strength. She screamed at the immense pain, collapsing on the broken wet glass.
"Tell me what to do!" The Doctor yelled into the phone.
"I…I don't know Doctor. She might be having a night terror. I don't kno—," Rory stopped when he heard Rose's scream. He had heard plenty of screams in his life from both working in a hospital and traveling with the Doctor but he had never heard anything that fit the term 'blood curdling scream' quite as well as what he had just heard.
"TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
"Nothing, you're not supposed to do anything." Rory said quietly on the other line of the phone.
"What do you mean!?" The Doctor was obvious distressed his voice quivering over the phone line.
"When someone is having a night terror you're supposed to leave them, let them wake up naturally. If you want to do what's best for Rose…you have to let her get through this on her own." The phone went dead. Amy looked up at him, her eyes wide with fear.
"Is he going to be alright?" she asked, clutching her pillow tightly in her lap.
"He's not the one I'm worried about."
She jumped when she felt a pair of hands place a sheet around her shoulders. She turned around to see him. He was the way she remembered him, tall, hair that stood straight up, and a pin striped suit. Emotions flooded into her, hope, confusion, love. "Stand up Rose." Griping the sheet tightly she stood up and fell forward into his arms.
"I've missed you." Her head rested against his shoulder.
"I haven't missed you. I will never miss you."
"What?" She pulled away from her, her voice shaking her and almost inaudible.
"Rose I left you behind and I never looked back. I'm glad that I left you behind, I will never miss you." She took a step back away from him as he reached out and pushed her. She let out another scream as she fell. She fell for what seemed like hours until she landed into the same liquid she had been in earlier. She felt the tubes wrap around her and drag her down as she let out a final scream.
He had been counting her screams. Fourteen. She screamed again but this time was different than the previous times. She sat bolt straight upright. Her eyes flashed open and darted around the room. When she saw him she let out another scream as she pulled away from him, trying to get as far from him as she could. He grabbed her as she tried to move away. He held her tightly as she tried to resist until she stopped. Her struggle against him turned into the shaking of her shoulders as she sobbed into his chest. He held her as she cried. He had never seen her like this, so broken, so defeated. "Just breath it's okay, I'm here you're safe. Rose it's okay, it was just a dream."
Her heart was beating out of her chest. It wasn't just a dream, not all of it. She knew that. She was a lie. An experiment grown in a dark blue liquid with tubes attached to her stomach. She had recounted her first memory, blurred, distorted, and mixed in with a night mare.
