Chapter Seventeen. Endgame of the Library Part One

"What about the Vashta Nerada?" Anita asked the Doctors.

"These are their forests." Ten answered, "I'm gonna seal Charlotte in her little world, take everybody else away. The shadows can swarm to their hearts content."

"So you think they're gonna let us go?"

"Doctor." Rose started to glow gold again, sensing something unusual.

"Best offer they're gonna get." Ten replied, working on the remainder of his plan.

"You're gonna make them an offer?"

"They'd better take it." Five answered.

"Yeah. He's right." Ten added, "cause right now, I'm finding it very hard to make any kind of offer at all."

"Doctor!" Rose exclaimed. Ten noticed his wife glowing before looking at "Anita", "You know what? I really liked Anita."

"She was brave," Five added, "even when she was crying, and she never gave in."

"And you ate her." Ten firmly concluded. Five used River's screwdriver to reveal that the swarm have now eaten Anita and all that is left is the swarm and her skeletal remains. Nyssa gasped as she clasped her mouth in shock. Rose only stood there, glowing gold.

"But we'll let that pass," Five stated, "just as long as you let them pass."

"How long have you known?"

"We counted the shadows," Ten answered, "not to mention when my wife glows like that, she usually senses a disturbance or is about to attack. Perks of being Bad Wolf Immortal."

"You only have one shadow now." Five added.

"She's nearly gone." Ten said, "Be kind."

"These are our forests. We are not kind."

"We're giving you back your forests," Ten told the swarm, "but you are giving us them. You're letting them go."

"These are our forests. They are our meat."

"Don't play games with us." Ten firmly told the swarm as it was aiming for the two Doctors and the girls, "You just killed someone we liked and that is not a safe place to stand. I'm the Doctor and so is the blonde man with me, and this is my wife Rose Tyler, also known as Bad Wolf Immortal and you're in the biggest library in the universe. Look us up!"

Silence filled the room for a about a minute as the swarm stopped and Rose's glowing slowly faded out, meaning the danger was deceasing.

"Doctor. Bad Wolf Immortal. You have one day."

With that, the swarm form of Anita collapsed. Rose held her head in pain, sensing something, "Someone's coming. Adric?"

Rose then collapsed herself. Seconds later, River arrived and knocked out first the Tenth Doctor, and then the Fifth Doctor in case he tried to do anything, leaving her and Nyssa the only ones still conscious in the room.
