Previously:

It had been three months since Laura had entered the TARDIS and began her new life. Life was good right now. The Doctor treated Laura as his daughter. And Rose was the love of his life. No they didn't' want this to end. It was hungry. Day and night I would lust for more. The taste of the sweaty flesh. To hear it cry and scream in the night. As it ate away at the life encased inside. It wanted to dry up the juices till there were no more. It wanted out. Laura had vanished. Snatched out of thin air. A piercing shriek sliced through the air and awoke the Doctor from his many thoughts and brought only one to his mind. One of his companions had been found and it didn't sound like Laura…

"Rose," the Doctor whispered in horror. Something had happened to Rose. Without another thought the Doctor turned on his heel and ran back through the tunnel until he saw where Rose's footsteps had stopped. Panicky the Doctor stopped. He'd never had this problem before the regeneration. Guess that was what came with the territory. Where Rose's footsteps should've been were unhuman tracks and where her heels had been digging into the ground. Which, lucky for the Doctor, were deep enough that he could follow them for a fair way. He broke into a jog after five minutes and his worries grew more intense. It just so happened that he wasn't looking where he was going; as the Doctor's heart was beginning to grow heavy with worry and he ran smack bang into Laura.

"OW, Doctor, don't you watch where you're going?" she asked rubbing the side of her head where the Doctor had run into her. She was just about to ask where Rose was when the Doctor swept her into a hug and whispered into her ear," I'm sorry. I should have been paying attention. But God, whatever snatched you from the fields, it, it got Rose. I heard it."

"Doctor! Doctor! Snap out of it!" Laura commanded him giving him a slap. However it was a far cry from the one Jackie Tyler would be giving him if he had to tell her he lost Rose.

"Thanks. Now, lets go find her," the Doctor replied still fairly shaken up but taking charge.

IOIOIOIOI

The monster or whatever it was that had captured her had covered Rose's mouth so she could no longer scream for help. Instead, she dug her heels in and waited for the Doctor to follow them and find her. Rose hadn't managed to get a good look at her captor and the only thing she could tell was this it was gliding along and its skin was rough. When it had reached its point of destination Rose was flung down on the ground and a gate lowered. 'Of course, it's another damn prison cell.' Rose had seen enough of these to last a lifetime or two and she was beginning to recognise an easy escape route: the back wall; a weak and easy target point. It was just another case of poor construction and quite frankly Rose was grateful. This alien weren't friendly because if it was, it wouldn't have dragged her, simply marched her forward. It also wouldn't have been sniffing her. Rose began hammering on the wall in a hope to find its weakness and her way out…

IOIOIOIOI

The Doctor paused as Laura and he padded down the vast cave system. He could here a knocking on the wall next to him. 'Diggers? More aliens? Rose?' were the thoughts running through his head and decided that what ever it was would be showing itself in a matter of seconds. He motioned for Laura to follow him into an adjacent passage and watched on in awe.

"Doctor? Why don't we run?" Laura asked. She was still new to the way that the Doctor's mind worked and she'd never studied this present incarnation.

"Because Laura, it might be Rose. It might be another alien, which could lead us to Rose, with the right leverage," he answered her with his stomach still churning but calm. His previous incarnation had never felt like this. It was always headfirst think later with him.

"Okay Doctor," Laura replied simply.

IOIOIOIOI

"There," Rose whispered. After a long ten minutes of knocking, Rose had found what she'd concluded to be the weakest spot in the cell. Checking to make sure she wasn't being watched, Rose clenched her fist and kicked through the wall. It crumbled easily and she stumbled through the dust and began coughing and waving her hand around trying to clear her air. Rose was just about to celebrate when a hand clasped hers and she was again dragged along. However, this hand was familiar. The Doctor.

"Rose, are you all right?" he asked after they'd dusted themselves off.

"Yeah fine. How did you know I was there?" She said.

"I heard you knocking and Laura and I sat and watched. Poor thing, she fell asleep about five minutes ago. This whole trip must have exhausted her," he smiled. Then his attention shifted to Rose and he gave her a hug. He'd been so overcome with what he like to call '9th incarnation syndrome' and said, "I was so worried about you Rose. If anything had happened to you, or Laura for that matter, I, I never would've forgiven myself,"

"Doctor, I'm fine, Laura's fine. We're all fine. Now, lets go," Rose reassured him and kissed him gently.

IOIOIOIOI

At last, a prey that wasn't going to escape, she was in maximum security. No chance of being hungry tonight. However, he went hungry AGAIN! For once more, dinner was gone and Homer Simpson went hungry again. Damn it, if only he'd savoured Marge and Bart…

He he, that's it. Sorry if it was a bit short but I have an even bigger drabble to write so yeah. Reviews would be appreciated. :-p
