Fireflies Chapter 25.
Bella's P.O.V
"14th April 1912!" The Doctor exclaimed as he walked threw the doors of the blue box onto the wooden deck. Not far behind him was Amy, then Rory, last out was me. I closed the door before racing up to them. Well I tried to catch them up, before something Orange caught my eye. The black writing stood out to me.
"Doctor..." I asked as I read it carefully. He keep talking to The Ponds. Ignoring me.
"Doctor!" I shouted. All there heads snapped towards my direction.
"What is it Swan?" he shouted as he took massive steps towards me. I pointed out the black writing on this life ring. I watched his face as he read it, it went White, whiter than a piece of paper.
"Oh no..." Amy mumbled as she read it.
"Oh yes." he answered. "We're on The Titanic and it's sinking day." he mumbled. Fear had crawled up. I gulped hard.
The dark freezing clear night hit us hard.
"Nearly everyone on this ship is going to die in less than an three hours." the Doctor told us. A rumbling came threw are feet. We peered up to see the iceberg, that the titanic just hit. Blocks of ice hit the deck and shattered. The skidding ice hit my foot softly.
"11:40." the Doctor Stared at his watch for a while. All of us watched him in wonder.
"At 2:20, 1,517 people are going to die." he told us.
"We can stop it... can't we?" I asked him. Everyone knew they were thinking that, I just said it.
"No." he answered.
"What? Why?" Amy shrieked.
"It's one of the biggest peacetime maritime disasters in history. It has to happen, or else Boats safety in your times will just be a mess and if this didn't happen, something much worse could happen in the future...Plus it could blow a hole all reality if we tried to stop it." he explained.
"But everyone is going to die.." Amy whispered frustrated.
"We could try to get everyone off now?" Rory asked him.
"This ship holds 2,223 people on board Rory and this ship only carried lifeboats for only 1,178 people. And which is how many life boats?"
"How many?" Rory answered.
"20 on the whole ship."
"No." Amy mumbled as she watched the Doctor pressing his lips together.
"But we're wasting Time!" I shouted. "Oh I'm going to the Captain."
"Bella Don't."
"Don't say don't Doctor!" I shouted back as I dodged pieces of ice as I tried to find the Captains Place.
Doctor's P.O.V.
"Well...That was a waste of time..." I mumbled as we headed back to the TARDIS.
"Yeah, Yeah!" Bella snapped at me. We had been searching for the captain for least a good hour or so. And we didn't even see him.
She burst threw the doors, and raced to her room. Amy chased after her.
"Don't worry...Amy always goes in moods." Rory told me. I nodded.
Amy's P.O.V.
"Bella!" I called after her. She stormed Into her bedroom and raced to the wardrobes. She threw stuff into my direction. Clothes, pumps, make-up...Even cuddly toys until...
"AHA!" she exclaimed as she pulled out a microphone. You know one of them massive White ones? Yeah...
She slammed her wardrobe doors and Smiled.
Rory's P.O.V.
"Don't worry...Amy always goes in moods." I told the Doctor, he nodded at me.
"If I had a choice...I would save all those people. Every last single one. I would stop the ship from crashing but it was such a massive point in history." he mumbled.
"But you can't change a girls mind."
"You can say that again."
After an awkward silent, I broke the tension by saying.
"Soo...How are things with you and Bella?" I asked him.
"Ok." he replied as he stared at the stairs.
"Good, Good." I answered. Bella came down the stairs with Amy and the Pair completely seemed to ignore us...They swaggered out the doors as we stared at them. Half 'What the Hell' and the other half 'Our girlfriends are sooo fit.'
And of course...We drooled after them.
Amy's P.O.V.
Climbing up the stairs to the main deck was tiring. People started to come up here since The lower part of the ship had begun to fill with salty sea water. Bella climbed on one of the Bars, then began her speech.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Listen to us! That iceberg we had hit has scrapped across the Titanic and at 2:20am this boat with be swimming with the fishes!" Bella exclaimed as she drawn in the crowds. Men, Women and Children listened to her tail of the Titanic.
"So I'd Advise you to send an S.O.S out or prepare the Lifeboats before it's too late!" she told them. By now they were all gasping and muttering to themselves. "My friends got a -"
Bella was just about to say about the TARDIS before the Doctor had snatched her microphone of her. She jumped down to his size.
"Hey! what are you doing?" Bella hissed at him.
"Don't worry!" The Doctor shouted in it. "Everything's gonna be fine!"
"No it isn't!" Bella managed to say in the microphone. "Quarter past one." she mumbled.
"This ship will be under the water at 2:20!" she shouted.
By now, people had begun noticing the water, the rushing of people and the cries for help, many people had listened to Bella Swan because she spoke the future. The crew came and started to undo the Life Boats from the sides. Bella bolted away from the Doctor, clearly pissed off at him.
Bella's P.O.V.
"Stupid boy, how dare him lie to all of them people?" he said himself that lying doesn't get you threw the day.
The crew started to call for Women and Children to get in the life boats. I'm not going on, no I'm staying on this ship and I'm doing what ever it takes to save someone on this ship.
"Empty your pockets." A old man hissed at me as he pointed a gun.
"I haven't got anything."
"Empty your pockets!" he shouted more sternly. I turned my light blue hoodie pockets out, as well as my black jeans. Only thing that came out was an old tissue. He didn't look impressed.
"Empty Your Pockets!"
"I have!" I answered.
"Give me your necklace!"
"What?" I asked dumbstruck.
"Give me your necklace!"
"No." I answered darkly. He pulled the trigger...
"Do it. Now.."
"No."
His hand shaked and his eyes watered.
"You wouldn't do it, you a coward. Go on...Shoot me." I squinted and prayed and the sound of the gun hit the deck was all I needed to feel confident
"Yeah run away!" I shouted after him.
"You alright mam?" a young man asked me as he ran towards me. he was about in his 20's with brown straight-Ish hair and deep blue eyes.
"Yeah." I replied shakily.
"Shouldn't you be getting on a life boat?" he asked me.
"No, not me." I answered.
"Oh."
"You look lost...everything alright?"
"Just scared mam."
"Aren't we all."
"Anyway, The Ships Already starting to go down." he told me, I looked down to see, things sliding down wards, slowly but steadily.
"It's starting." I mumbled. I have to find that Stupid Man. "Come with me."
This complete stranger and me raced to the top deck were Amy, Rory and The Liar was.
"Pardon Mam, I never asked your name?" he said whilst we ran.
"Bella Swan, you?"
"Danny, Danny Smith."
Turning the corner, The trio had the same idea, they raced towards me... Taking my arm and they never let go. Leaving Danny standing on his own.
"Let me go!" I cried as I pulled away from the Doctors Grip.
"Come on Bella!" he shouted as he dragged me to the TARDIS. Managing to pull away from him, I stared into his Eyes.
He was not the man I loved tonight. Not the Brave hero, the healer or the Helper. Instead he was a disappointment. A Wuss and a damn right opposite of what a Doctor is meant to be...
"NO!" I exploded at him. He stepped back clearly shocked by my reaction. "YOU ARE LETTING PEOPLE DIE TONIGHT! HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T DONE A THING WRONG!" I sobbed
"Bella." He began.
"DONT BELLA ME, DOCTOR! WAIT, I DON'T THINK I AM GOING TO CALL YOU THE DOCTOR! DO YOU KNOW WHY?" he shook his head, I stepped closer.
"BECAUSE THE WORD DOCTOR MEANS HELPING PEOPLE! HEALING PEOPLE! TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE ON THERE WAY! I shouted as I prodded his chest, "BUT TONIGHT YOU ARE NOT THAT! NONE OF THEM! YOU ARE JUST A SISSY! A DISAPPOINTMENT IN FACT! BECAUSE YOU WONT EVEN SAVE ONE PERSON ON THIS SHIP!" I roared, I smacked his chest harder at every statement I made.
"Bella..." he sighed as I wept, he pulled me into a hug. I snatched away disgusted.
"Don't." I whimpered. "Just Don't."
I scrambled away, hoping to help others like Danny, who will have to face the fear of the Icy sea.
Amy's P.O.V.
The Doctor looked at Bella like he was going to burst out in floods of tears any second. Her words had touched him deep inside. Me, Rory or The Doctor had never seen Bella that angry and upset before. His voice turned into a whimper, do to the fact he was holding tears back. The one he loved just called him A sissy and a disappointment, guess how far that must have torn both of his heart.
And when she refused his hug... It must had felt like something had shattered inside.
He sniffled before turning to us. Watching us, with his big eyes.
He sorted out his bowtie and ran his fingers threw his quiff and then entered the TARDIS.
Me and Rory swapped glances before entering are selves.
"Doctor, we can't just leave her." I told him as I dashed to his seat were he was sitting.
"Who says we were." he mumbled to himself. Thinking.
Then suddenly he shot up from his chair and whizzed to his console. Pressing buttons and pulling levers, the TARDIS was off.
He raced to the Doors, were the Doctor peeked threw.
Doctor's P.O.V.
"SWAN!" I Called as I stared at the cold, dead body's that floated lifeless in the water that were once panicking, screaming for help or just trying to survive.
"BELLA! BELLA!" no reply "ISABELLA!"
By now the Titanic was long gone and the cold had taken its effect on the unfortunate.
"BELLA! BELLA CAN YOU HEAR ME?" I shouted as my eyes scanned for her. My hearts pumped twice the speed that they should.
Threw the silents a whistle blew weakly. My head searched for her and yards away was my Gorgeous Bella. Trying to hold herself on a piece of wood from the titanic. Her hair wet and had formed ice on it and her face Whiter than usually, covered in goose bumps. Her lips had gone a deep blue/ dark purple and her eyes were half shut but the most important thing was that she was alive.
The TARDIS swooped to her side. I dragged her out of the water, shaking with the cold. I sat with her between my legs, hugging her.
The box took off after that.
"Get me blankets, Water bottles, Heat Packs, Tin foil! Everything and Anything that will make her warm!" I called to Amy and Rory, they raced frantically to get the stuff that I needed.
I cradled her face as she shivered and her breathing increased dramatically.
"I'm so...C-Cold." she mumbled.
"Sshh, Sshh. It's ok." I stroked her face softly, removing some of the ice in the process. "The Doctor's Here."
She smiled weakly at me.
"Y-You...Came..Back...For...M-Me?" she tried to spit out as she looked at me.
"Yes, I did, of course I did. I would never leave you." I answered as I tucked her hair behind her face. I felt her heart beat, boom boom boom boom boom boom. It rapidly increased as she gasped for air.
"AMY! RORY! HURRY UP!" I called as I gave her my jacket.
"After...After Everything...I...Said...You...Came…Back for...M-Me?" she asked me, tears trickling down her face.
"I couldn't have just leaved you there to freeze." I grinned weakly as I dried her tears. Amy and Rory raced to me. Bringing clothes, hot water bottles, blankets and a mug of tea. I dressed her in dry clothes, placed bottles around her and covered her in her duvet and are blankets. I held the cup as she sipped Tea out of it. Like an old lady or a toddler.
"Come on gorgeous Bella..." I waited as I watched her.
Amy elbowed Rory indicating that I need sometime alone with her.
Her lips gradually turned into the pinky coloured lips, her face had turned into a healthier pale colour, her hair had dried, her limbs started to kick in. But her eyes, they stayed sleepy and Wary. She'd glance up at me every know and again, smiling at me.
After a good two hours after Bella had been pulled out. She began to move quicker and she pulled her self up to my cheek.
"Doctor... I'm sorry." she whimpered.
"It's ok." i answered as I cupped her face.
"I didn't mean any of them things I said."
"Won't matter, everyone gets angry." I told her. "Now my magnificent, foxy, gorgeous, classy, bewitching Bella..." I wondered into her eyes.
Her mind had already read mine, she wanted lip action. To mouth wrestle.
And that's what we did. Sitting by the door's Of the TARDIS at about 5 in the morning. We lip wrestled. And to be honest I think she won…. Easily….
