Forever Constant
Chapter 26: pre-TYTNW (part 6)
She spent the next three days in a state of worry such that she'd never been through before. The Captain was gone, Harold Saxon was on the verge of being made Prime Minister – and she didn't know what, if anything, she could do about it. Saxon had won over the hearts and minds of the people, so there was no one to whom she could voice her concerns. Even if she tried, with her 'time tremor' portents of doom, who would believe it?
The Captain would've believed her, but he had disappeared. She briefly closed her eyes, sighing as she felt the gap that was normally her sense of how to find him. But she couldn't find what wasn't there.
It was no surprise to her that when Harold Saxon won the election, the announcement was accompanied by the sixth tremor in time.
And somehow, she knew it to be the last. Next, would come the earthquake.
A/N: I kind of got impatient with these little chapters, so here's the last one. I hope you can guess what 'the earthquake' is...
Oh, and if you're interested, when I'm done with The Year That Never Was section, I might write an alternate version where Faith decides to tell Torchwood about this so that they're ready when Saxon tries to send them to the Himalayas.
Please review!
