AN: Hey, guys, I'm back. First off, I want to thank all y'all for your reviews! There was one by someone named Crayon Allison and it was fabulous. I love constructive criticism, so thanks. Like she said, when I change POV, I should indicate that I'm doing it. Can someone PM or review and tell me where the line break thing went? It's missing. And I was a bit rushed in my first few chapters, so I'll work on that. About Fara's past and parents, I actually wasn't planning on having her be parent-less at first, so that's part of it. Well, basically they were great parents and they just ditched or disappeared. Martha helps make sure Fara's home is paid for and, no Fara has no other family.
Anyway, back to the story!
Hub:
A week later, Jack had brought in the entire Torchwood 3 team in to help. (AN: Okay, guys I'm using the original team. Jack, Tosh, Owen, Gwen, & Ianto. All of them are alive and Gwen is NOT married simply because I've been converted to a Harcooper shipper by another fic. If you don't like it, ignore it or stop reading because it will be shipped in this story.) To Ianto's satisfaction, Gwen was comforting Jack and Owen and Tosh were standing very close. (I ship Tosh & Owen as well...) Amy and Rory were standing near Ianto and Amy noted the look on his face as he surveyed the couples that refused to be couples. Amy moved over next to the apparent matchmaker and they began to discuss how to set them up. Rory just shook his head, and hoped the not-so couples survived the matchmaking.
The Doctor spoke up and everyone else grew quiet. "Everybody knows the plan, right?" Everybody nodded in agreement. "Then let's save Fara Smith."
Fara:
Her lungs burned as she dashed through the dark forest again. Her name was being called along with screams and cries for help. Fara ran towards her best friends' screams with all her might. The screams grew louder and then there was one long blood curdling scream followed by silence. Fara stumbled into a small clearing and knowing Ami's fate, put a hand on the nearest tree to support her, but pulled away in horror when it was covered in something warm and sticky. She glanced down at her hand and felt hot tears begin to fall at the red stain on it. She glanced around the clearing seeing more of her best friends' blood and nearly unrecognizable corpse scattered in the clearing. Fara's knees almost gave out when the nassau hit.
Another scream rang out followed by Martha Smith crying out for Fara's help. Despite Martha's inevitable fate, Fara took off in the direction of her screams. Her blood ran cold when her foot collided with something that felt a lot like a body. She hadn't even noticed the proper doctor's screams die out. She scrambled to her feet at the sound of Tosh's screams. After a few moments of searching she was nearing the clearing when she was spattered with Tosh's blood.
When Jack began to call out, Fara started running again. She only slowed for a second when her foot connected with something soft covered in a sickeningly warm substance. She stumbled over his body and continued to run.
She had grown accustom to the pain in her lungs, and continued sure that something was following her. The burning in her legs had been replaced by a numbness, and when her right foot reconnected with the ground, it gave out and she crumpled. She was sprawled out on the forest floor and as she stood up she noticed the single pink rose bush nearby. The last thing she heard before she jolted awake, was a wolf howling in the distance.
When she was fully aware of what was going on, she realized that she was being strapped down. She didn't bother to beg or fight back simply because she knew it would help nothing. She grinned at the guard strapping her down and he continued to avoid eye contact with the young girl. Before Dr. Lune had brought the blade down onto her skin, a guard burst in.
"Break in," he responded breathlessly to the woman's look of irritation. She dropped the knife back onto her tray and the guard who'd strapped her in and the guard with the news began to dissing angle Fara from the table.
When her t-shirt and pajama-like pants, were on once again she was practically dragged down the halls. She began to cry out half from the pain provided by their grips and half as an attempt to be found by the ones that broke in. She figured it'd be Jack and maybe a few others because they're the only ones dumb enough to attempt breaking in and smart enough to do so.
Apparently her technique worked because she heard Jack calling back to her, but then she heard a fight break out and knew it wasn't going to end well.
Gwen, Ianto, Owen, & Tosh:
Gwen, Ianto, Tosh, and Owen were in one group because they worked well together. They were walking down the halls containing the cells that all seemed to be empty, when several rebels rounded a corner guns in hand. Jack had entrusted Gwen with the vortex manipulator with the coordinates for the Hub already in place. The other three quickly grasped Gwen's arms and they were all transported back to the Hub, where a very nervous looking Amicitia glanced up at them in the hopes of finding a certain blue eyed sixteen year old with them.
Jack:
Jack was on his own, at his own insistence. He heard Fara Smith cry out for help and he started running. Unfortunately, he ran straight into six guards. He put up a struggle, but was eventually shot. When he shot back up gasping for air, the six rebels grinned maliciously in anticipation.
Martha:
Martha was with several UNIT soldiers as they stormed the building. They were the cause of several rebel casualties, but had none of their own when they received a signal from Jack to get out. The soldiers left at Martha's insistence, while she remained. After a few minutes, the proper doctor joined up with the Time Lord and his two companions.
They searched for a while before hearing Fara yelling again, except this time it was angry and directed at the rebels. They were soon forcibly teleported back to the Hub by Tosh.
Hub:
"Where's Jack? His signal is gone, tell me they didn't get him," Tosh said with a worried glance in Gwen's direction. At that moment Gwen looked terrified.
"Oh gosh," she muttered, "please, Jack, be okay."
AN: Alright, that's it. Please please please review!
XOXO,
