I'm very sorry about this but I'm not sure when the next chapter will be written. It may be up and ready Thursday, if not then it'll have to be Saturday. Till then enjoy.
Jackie opened her eyes. Her neck was hurting and she felt dizzy.
There was a bright light in her face making it hard to see. Of what she could see was not good. Spiders.
She had a vague memory of what happened. The Doctor and her self went running towards these beings and they got overthrown. She remembers a spider bit her and that when she was blacking out the Doctor was still fighting. Obviously, looking at the state of things, he either didn't make it or left her.
The light dimmed and she could see more clearly now. There were humans, but with spiders attached to them. They all had a blank stare on their faces. They all looked like puppets. She tried not to look at them but she could barely move her head. High above her there were cobwebs everywhere and big huge pods. Jackie didn't have time to dwell on what these pods were as there was sudden movement from the ceiling. A spider was descending. Only this one was far larger than any of the others she had encountered.
"If there is one here, there must be others. There's always a queen." She recalled the Doctor saying. She had a sudden hatred for the Doctor. Not only had he taken her daughter away, let her die, he had also let the entire earth become slaves to these spiders.
The giant spider was moving slowly across the room, watching Jackie. Jackie tried to move, but she was paralysed. She couldn't even scream.
I don't think a yellow pages would kill this one, she thought. The spider was now directly in front of her.
It's going to eat me and it's all the Doctor's fault, she thought. A spider crawled over to Jackie and crawled across her chest. If Jackie could scream she would have. It just stood there waiting.
Where is it?
She heard a voice in her head. It was inhuman. The spider was still standing on her chest. Where was what?
Where is it?
She heard it again and was wondering if she was going mad.
Where is the blue crystal?
What the hell is a blue crystal? She suddenly realised that the voice was coming from the spider. It can't have a mouth, she was thinking, so it must use something else to talk.
You do not know where the blue crystal is. You are useless. Where is the Doctor?
So they knew about the Doctor. Jackie recalled the Doctor saying something about his third body. They either got the Doctor now in his seventh or haven't got him at all, which was not a happy thought either way.
As you are unwilling to co-operate, you will now be put to further use.
Jackie didn't like the sound of that. The spider crawled off her. There was movement again in the cobwebs. The people stood there watching, waiting, not a clue in their brains what was happening. The queen spider was slowly moving towards Jackie. She never thought this was the way she would go. At least now she would be with Rose.
In her mind, Jackie was screaming.
