Never Leave Me
Chapter four
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who.
Rose was crying in her sleep. The Doctor watched and he didn't know what the hell he should do. Should he leave her be? Or try to help?
Rose shifted, muttering. "No! Take me back! Please take me back!" There was a deep frown in her forehead. The Doctor got up. He was damned if he was going to leave her crying.
He crouched down beside her. Further than that, he wasn't sure what to do in this situation, which was strange. He wasn't used to it. And in this case, he didn't like it. Rose shifted again.
"Mickey!"
Oh, God, she was dreaming about Mickey. The Doctor felt a wave of pity rush through him. Rose had felt terribly guilty for leaving Mickey in the parallel universe. Who knew what she was feeling so deep inside her head.
"Please, I'll do anything! He isn't here to help me!"
"Oh, Rose!" The Doctor grabbed her shoulders, hoping that maybe, somewhere inside she could hear him. "I'll always be there for you. Always".
She didn't seem to be registering. "Let me in! Please, Doctor, I'm sorry! Help me!"
"I'll help you Rose. I'll do anything to keep you alive. I'd die and never regenerate if I could protect you". He was nearing desperation now. The mind was the most powerful force in existence. And Rose was trapped deep inside hers, with all the feelings she never new she had. All the fears.
She almost seemed to hear him. Could she possibly? She cried out again, and this time her voice was less strong, and so full of desperation it broke both his hearts.
"Let me in. Save me".
He hugged her close to him and kissed her on the forehead. "Come in Rose. You're safe".
She lay in her arms like that for a second, calm. And then her eyes opened. "Doctor?"
Sorry this chapter is so short. It was originally going to be longer, but it seemed like a good place to stop. I'm writing the next bit though. Hopefully I will get it up tonight. Please R&R.
