Chapter 13
Rose looked back pleased to see that all three men were following close on their heels, she and the Doctor ran along the same route that they had followed the other day when following themselves and the trio of men in black, a strong sense of Dejevue sweeping over her.
"Come on Rose, this things getting hot" The Doctor called back, causing Rose to sprint faster, her chest beginning to burn "That warehouse was deserted wasn't it?" he called back, wanting a safe place to leave this thing, recognising it as a local device and not a world shattering one.
"Yes" Rose called back, her breath coming in short gasps, pleased when she saw the building up ahead "Hurry, there catching up" she called out
Rose skidded to a halt as they entered the building seeing the Doctor stop and place the device on the floor
"We don't have much time Rose, find a back way out and get out of here, find Jackie and make sure Sky is taken off planet" he demanded turning back to the door and using his sonic screwdriver to lock the door they had just come through.
"What about you?" Rose asked in concern, remembering the light and her screaming his name last time they were here
"I'll be right behind you, I need to find out why they want Sky, or it will never end" he said to Rose, reaching out and touching her cheek "Go Rose, find our Daughter" he said, his eyes boring into her, conveying things that words could never do. Rose swallowed and nodded slowly, fear in her eyes and heart
"I love you" she whispered as she turned and ran from the room.
………………………………………….
The Doctor stood in the room and waited for them, he knew what he had seen last time and he hoped he had spared Rose from having to live it.
He stood calmly as the door crashed open
"Hello again" he called out cheerfully as the three cryotrons skidded to a halt in front of him, their eyes dropping to the bomb at his feet
He pointed his sonic screwdriver like a weapon at them, and hoped they really were as stupid as they seemed.
"Right then lets have a little chat" he said to them "I think we have about 5 more minutes before this thing blows up" he told them calmly, watching as the middle one, the seeming leader nodded "well if you move so much as a muscle you wont last even that" he told them waving the screwdriver menacingly at them
"Why do you want Sky Tyler dead?" he asked calmly, his twin hearts beating rapidly, hoping Rose had gotten away safely, hoping that Sky was safe.
"She will destroy us" Middle man said, "We cannot allow that"
The Doctor looked at him carefully, "How will she destroy you?"
"She will destroy our planet in the future, we were sent to stop her" middle man said "She will interfere in our war; she must die now to prevent it from happening in the future"
The Doctor looked at them carefully, his mind racing
"What war, are you already at war now?" he asked them
"No the war will start in 156 earth years" middle man droned out "Sky Tyler will destroy our planet in 193 earth years, she must be prevented"
"Well here's a radical thought, why don't you make sure you don't go to war, then Sky Tyler will have no reason to destroy your planet will she?" the Doctor said angrily, annoyed when they looked at each other in confusion.
"We cannot stop a war" middle man said "we did not start it, it was an accident that we killed the ambassador of klickenfelten, he was shot by error, but they would not believe us" he told the Doctor. The Doctor stared at them in horror, a war and total destruction over an accident? The senselessness of it shocked the Doctor
"If you can travel back in time and space to kill Sky Tyler, why can't you travel back to stop the accident, prevent the war and Sky Tyler destroying your planet, and save a lot of lives in the process?" he demanded in outrage.
Middle mad looked at the Doctor, his eyes wide, he looked at his two companions, before speaking rapidly in a language the Doctor didn't know. The Doctor looked down at the bomb at his feet and sighed, if they didn't hurry up then none of them would be doing anything
"You make sense Doctor, sire of Sky Tyler, we will try your way, and if it does not succeed we can terminate Sky Tyler" Middle man said "I will stay to disarm the detonation device" he said stepping forward as the other two turned to leave, the Doctor nodded and looked down at the device, suddenly seeing it start to glow red
"Too late" the Doctor said leaping forward and throwing himself at middle man, forcing both of them to the ground as a blue light surrounded them.
The last thing the Doctor heard was Rose screaming his name.
………………………………………………………….
Rose knelt beside the Doctor, tears streaming down her face, this wasn't how it was supposed to be, he couldn't be dead; she wouldn't let him.
"Please" she whispered without realising that she had spoken, "please don't leave me" she begged her heart hammering as she checked for a pulse, not finding one she began to panic, then she stopped and looked at him not sure if he even had a pulse, she bent over his chest and laid her head on his chest holding her breath trying to hear his twin hearts beating. Nothing; her own heart seemed to stop with the silence of his.
"Noooooooo" she screamed beating at hi chest, shaking him and alternately screaming and begging him to live; time seemed to have lost all meaning as Rose cried and hit him, until finally exhaustion overtook her and she fell sobbing across his body. Her pain so great she was sure she would die with him.
The older Rose's words kept haunting her mind enjoy it, it doesn't last long enough
Taunting her, mocking her and making the pain worse, there had been no time to enjoy it; they had been too busy trying to save their daughter. A week her mind screamed, how could she live with just a week? She wanted more, she needed more.
"Please" she whispered again, "please"
Rose laid her head on his shoulder and pulled his arm around her shoulders, holding it there tightly to her body, desperate to feel his embrace one more time, unwilling to let him go.
"Please" was all she kept saying, the word becoming quieter and fainter as grief and exhaustion took over and she slipped into blessed unconsciousness.
