I know it's not that long, but anyway. Enjoy.


Part 2: 'Torats'

"Jack any ideas?" The Doctor asked, Rose looked at him wide eyed.

"You mean you haven't got any?" she asked, practically yelling at him.

"Umm no, why, do you?" He asked her, she took a deep breath and shook her head. What were they going to do!

The Doctor got out his sonic screwdriver and began to flash it about a bit and hope that, it would do something. It didn't. Jack sighed; "Doctor, we need a plan!" he stated impatiently.

"I know, I know!" he said moving away from Rose. It was then that he noticed it what he had first though to be heat waves rising from the floor, he could now see was an invisible bubble of some sort, it was holding them captive. "Ah-HA!" He said as he moved in a circle, he had found the border of what ever it was that was holding them captive.

"Ah-Ha what?" Jack asked moving towards where the Doctor was crouched.

"I know what's happening…" the Doctor said confidently, Rose had her back to the two men and was watching as the creatures were still gaining on their position.

"Doctor…they're getting closer!" she whispered fear clawing at her insides.

The Doctor spun around sonic screwdriver still emitting a high-pitched frequency, the nearest creatures seemed to speed up at this, Rose gasped and the Doctor lowered the screwdriver.

"We mean you no harm!" The Doctor called out, these creatures had guns and were pointing them at the trio.

"ON THE GROUND!" the nearest one bellowed Jack and Rose were on the floor like a shot but the Doctor didn't move; "I SAID DOWN!" it screamed clearly getting impatient.

"Awh, come on now, we all know you're not going to shot. Got no reason to. And you wouldn't want to kill three innocent people now would you?" he asked trying to reason with them, Jack had noticed that the Doctor was almost more talkative as his new self, it might just be a way of getting them out of trouble.

"You are trespassing on Sepectorat land!" the leader spoke again.

"See I told you Sepectorat!" the Doctor said ignoring the trespassing charge as he turned to Jack and Rose. Rose though wasn't at all interested in the fact that the Doctor was right she, was far more interested by the 'Torats' now surrounding them, Jack was watching this too. They were closed in, but it wasn't like they could escape any way, well Jack's first adventure back with Rose and the Doctor wasn't disappointing, they'd already got into trouble, not that he was complaining mind, it beat a desk job any day, but he still was unnerved but the guns that were pointed at him from all angles. Rose was looking around quite panicked, she had been in such a situation before but you never quite get used to it.

"Rose breath." The Doctor said calmly, he could see her starting to panic, and they really didn't need that.

"YOU WILL COME WITH US!" the leader bellowed once more, the Doctor and his companions didn't move, it was then that the charging of weapons and Rose and Jack got to their feet their arms raised, the Doctor slipped the sonic screwdriver into his pocket before doing the same.

"I don't understand this…" the Doctor mused; "They're usually a peaceful race!" he said looking over at Rose's worried face; "Don't worry Rose, we'll be fine!" he said trying to reassure her. It didn't work.

"What are we going to do?" she hissed, he swallowed hard. He didn't have a plan. Yet. He wanted to tell her that they would get out of here alive with no problems but at this moment in time, he wasn't all that sure. Rose's breathing was getting sharper, the leader nodded to one for the Torats at the back and he sent an electrical surge through the bubble, the three inside yelped and Rose stumbled. Jack turned ready to slug the creature that had just caused the three of them such excruciating pain.

The Doctor was picking Rose up off the floor, he put his arms around her quivering form and soothed her; "Come on Rose, we'll get out of this don't you worry!" he stroked her hair, and rubbed her back, but said no more than that. This wasn't very different to any of the situations they had been in before, but Rose was still panicked, she couldn't catch her breath and it really wasn't helping matters.

"Jack!" the Doctor gave him a warning look, and the ex Time Agent turned around and continued walking, but he couldn't help noticing the closeness of his companions, he smiled to himself. Of course she trusted him, he couldn't understand why he had doubted such a fact. He moved alongside the pain and smiled at them hoping that maybe he could lift Rose's spirits, he had no such luck, he didn't really think he would, considering they were being held captive, with no foreseeable means of escape. The Doctor always had a plan though, didn't he? His old form did, always knew what to do within the blink of an eye. Granted that most of the time it was to save Rose, but this time, there was no one on the outside to help them.

What exactly where they going to do?

It was a good few minuets before they saw what appeared to be a compound, a military one at that, Torats milling around eyeing up the newcomers. The Doctor still had his arms around Rose who was now snivelling, Jack had never seen her behave like this and was more than a little scared for her. She was brave and strong and didn't take any nonsense from anyone. This girl was afraid, weak, and had seen too much in her short life time. The giant iron gates to the compound clanged shut behind them as they all trudged in. It was then that he heard it, the charging of weapons, and everything went dark.


A/N: And again with the evilness. ;) Review please.
