He Who Sins
Chapter Thirty Six: All Hell's A'coming
The Doctor began to move towards Rose,
'Stop where you are or she dies' a deep voice warned. The Doctor turned to look at Marilee, her eyes were swirling golden and she clung to the pendant that hung around her neck burning her. It began to swim in purple light, shining and moving through the chamber, Tymon's was doing the same but his face was set in fear as he tried to tug it off. Rose grasped Tymon's shoulders and knelt down so she was face to face with the frightened boy
'Tymon, can you hear me?' Rose asked desperately – she got no reply.
'Tymon?' she murmured softly. He blinked and met her eyes for a moment
'I'm so scared' he squeaked as he watched Rose before him. Rose removed his hands from the burning pendant and held them between her own
'Tymon, I need you to fight it, I need you to stay strong for me' Rose whispered to him. Tymon shook his head as his eyes widened
'I can't – it hurts too much…inside my mind' he croaked. Rose brushed a piece of hair of his forehead and placed a cold hand to his cheek
'Tymon, I need you to imagine something for me' she began, his breath was becoming rapid as he panted for air
'I need you to imagine everything I told you about, everything you dreamed of. I need you to see the sun, inside your mind; I need you to picture the sun beaming down on you, warming your skin. I want you to image the grass growing green around you and the songs of birds in the air'
The Doctor watched on as Rose spoke soothingly to the young boy, he let a faint smile pass over his lips as he imagined her like this with their children…that's if they were still alive. As Rose comforted Tymon, the Doctor slowly edged towards Marilee whose head was thrown back as she began to chant in a long forgotten language.
'Tymon, can you see it?' Rose asked him softly as she squeezed his hands. His eyes were now shut and his pendant glowed brightly, bathing the entire room in purple light.
'I see it' he whispered, 'Oh Rose, it's so beautiful, I don't know how you can stand to leave it after having seen this…this paradise'. Rose smiled and squeezed his hands as Tymon's pendant shone brightly, soon around them the sun had risen into the sky and the sound of birds filled the air. For the first time in so long Rose felt sun light on her skin, she looked up to see Tymon's eyes wide with wonder, they swirled with gold as his pendant shone. As a smile spread over his face the sun brightened, its heat beating down and filling the cold chamber with life. Rose looked up at the Doctor and smiled at him, this was their world, this was how their life should be. She stared at the sun, letting it burn her eyes so all she could see was red dots – it was the most beautiful thing she had seen and with in a moment it was gone, shattered. Marilee had dived across the room and was now pressing Tymon against the room
'You stupid boy' she shouted in his face
'No! Tymon!' Rose screamed as she ran towards him. Tymon's eyes were wide now as the pendant returned to its dark purple, the sun had vanished and with it so had Tymon's fantasy and his energy. His eyes were wide with fear and tears began to stream down his cheeks.
'Do you have any idea of what you've done you fool!' Marilee screeched as she raised her arm to hit Tymon, Rose darted across the room and grabbed her arm
'Don't you touch him!' Rose shouted, Marilee flicked her off with her arm sending her sprawling into the wall as though she were nothing more than a parasite. Within a moment the Doctor was upon her, he pinned her arms behind her back and picked her up before dropping her to the floor. Tymon ran towards Rose, his eyes blurred by tears as he rubbed the hand prints on his neck. Rose lay face down unmoving, but Tymon still ran towards her.
'Rose!' he cried out as he reached her side. He took her hand and cradled it between his own as he began to shake
'Rose wake up' he begged quietly 'I need you' he whispered.
The Doctor stood over Marilee, she visibly shivered when she looked up into his darkened eyes, the pure rage that burned through him was visible as his eyes darkened
'I've had enough of your games' he warned her, 'Tell me what this is really about'. Marilee looked up at him and cradled her pendant which had also darkened
'I was so close' she murmured to herself 'So so close'
'To what?' the Doctor demanded.
'To the end' she replied. 'He was coming…he was coming for our salvation'
'Who was?' the Doctor urged her
'Devadeva' she whispered 'and with him he was going to bring it all, with him we was going to bring Ruska'. Her eyes were wide now, the eyes of a crazed maniac. The Doctor knelt down to her level
'He's not going to come' he told her
'But he is' she broke in, 'He will come, and only then will I be at home'
'He will not come' the Doctor repeated with an edge on his voice, 'Because I will not allow it'. Marilee looked up at the Doctor
'You cannot stop him' she whispered, 'You saw Tymon, the power that lies within him. That's all I need, then he will return to us' she murmured as she feverishly rubbed her arms. The Doctor turned his head to stare at the young faced boy who hide in the corner crying, and shook his head. The boy was so young and so innocent – it wasn't fair to place this burden upon him.
'Doctor!' he cried out, his voice quivering, 'Doctor she won't wake up!'
The Doctor jumped up as his eyes fell to Rose lying unconscious on the stone floor – he began to run.
