The Empty Child

Roses' phone rang. Mickey.
"What? Okay, I'll come as soon as I can."
The Doctor looked at her confused.
"My Mams sick. Can we go see her please?"
The Doctor nodded, changing the Tardis' destination.
"Albion Hospital, 2005."
Rose ran out, bumping into Mickey who was waiting.
"What's wrong."
"No idea. But your Mam keeps seeing things. Alien Things."

Cue Titles

Rose ran into Ward 26, straight over to her Mams bed.
"You okay?"
Jackies' face was pale, and she looked like she had hardly any sleep.
"I'm fine, Doctors say it's just a bad case of the flu. But somethings going on here. Patients keep going missing. Doctors have no idea whats going on. And the BadWolf Ward has been completely shut off. I saw something as well. Someone came in here last night, couldn't see thier face. But it did something. The next day that Patient was gone."
Rose nodded, a grim look on her face. The Doctor walked in.
"Get you anything?"
Rose shook her head.
"She said something is happening. Patients going missing. A wierd person. A complete ward down."
The Doctor nodded.
"Ill go check it out."
The Doctor left the ward and Rose sat down next to Jackies bed.
"Oi, Ricky! Come with me."
Micky gave a reluctant look and followed him.
"It's Micky!"
Rose shook her head in a "Boys" way and started talking to Jackie.
"Did you see anything? The persons face?"
"Well, that was the problem. The face was so blank. Like it had no emotions. And it's eyes, all black."

The Doctor and Micky walked up the stairs, slowly, The Doctor deep in thought.
"It's a shame about Jackie huh?"
"Naw, she'll get better. I'm more worried about the missing patients."
A sign on the stairs was covered with several lines of black tape.
"Hmmm, I geuss one of them is the BadWolf ward. I geuss I'll take the one higher up, Ricky you take this one. Meet here in ten minutes. Take note of anything suspicous."
The Doctor walked up the stairs, Micky went through the doors.

The ward was so clean. Everything seemed normal. Micky walked through it, looking at all the Patients. Nothing wierd. Apart from a third of the ward blocked off. Micky looked around, slightly nervous. No one watching. He walked towards it, pulling open the black curtain.
"No-one?"
He walked in, looking at the cubicles. In each one, a patient, eyes all black, faces emotion-less. He walked over to one, waving his hand in front of its face. No reaction.
Thank god for that.
He turned around, about to walk away and he felt something grab his arm. The patient had his arm in a tight grip, face directed at Micky.
"What the..."
Other Patients started getting out of thier beds, approaching Micky.
"Aargh!"

The Doctor went to the floor his ward was on. He went to open the door as an intercom went off.
"Who are you? what are you doing here?"
"I'm The Doctor."
"Doctor? You work here?"
"No."
"Well go away. This ward is private."
The Doctor sighed, slipping his Sonic Screwdriver into his hand. He pointed it at the door, pressing the button. The door opened slightly and The Doctor pushed it fully open. Doctors, with Dark eyes were rushing about, attending to similer patient. A hand grabbed The Doctors hand, pulling him out and closing the door.
"I told you, go away."
"What's wrong with these people?"
"No one knows. We just left them here, hoping they'd get better."
"Who are you?"
"Jack Harkness."
"Well Jack, tell me, what is really going on here?"
He sighed.
"It's been going on for a month or so. Since a child in a coma was brought in. Then that started happeing to patients. We had no idea what to do, The Doctors called us in, but we could do nothing."
"Your not a Doctor?"
"No, I'm with the Government."
The door suddenly started shaking.
"Does this usually happen?"
Jack look shocked and worried. He ran down the stairs.
"Apparently not..."

Jacks voice came over the intercom.
"Will All Visitors please leave the hospital. It's nothing serious, we just need to check all Patients are okay. The hospital will be open for Visitors again.. soon. Please leave now."

Rose looked nervous.
"I'm going to go find The Doctor."
"No Rose, please don't leave me. They'll come for me."
Rose looked into her Mums eyes, seeing the fright in her eyes. she nodded, looking around.
"I'll hide in the cupboard. I'll only be there. That way if they check, they'll think I'll be gone. Ok?"
Jackie nodded and rose got into the cupboard. The Doctor ran into the room.
"Wheres Rose?"
Jackie pointed to the copboard, a sligt gap in the doors. He nodded, understanding.
"Well, I've got bad news. Mickys gone missing. And something bads happeing. Jackie, the things you saw, they are coming. Now if you need to run, dont stop. Just run."
She nodded and The Doctor left the room.

The Doctor entered an office, Jack in a locker.
"Okay, these things are attacking. We need to stop them."
Jack pulled a gun out of the locker.
"You cant shoot them. Those things are human, you'd be killing humans!"
"I'm not going to shoot them. I'm going to freeze them."
He pulled out a small, futuristic gun.
"Your not from the government. That gun isnt in production for the next hundred years."
"And your not from here either."
A scream echoed through the corridors.

A nurse fell over, The Patients behind her.
"No!"
The Patients honed in, ready to grab her, when a blue ray hit them. They stopped still.
"Good shot. Now how much ammunition do you have?"
"Not much."
The Nurse got up, running out of the building.
"Right, Jack. Could you go to Ward 26, find a patient called Jackie Tyler. Tell Rose it's safe to come out. Tell them to follow you, that The Doctor said so. Come back here in Ten Minutes. If I dont return, tell Rose to take you to The Tardis."
"Where are you going?"
"To the Ward where I sent Micky. I need to find him. You dont knwo him, so just go to Ward 26."
The Doctor ran off, and Jack did the same.

A Patient walked into Ward 26. Jackie ducked under the covers, and it turned to her bed.
"All WILL be happy! Everyone happy!"
It raised it's hand, a blue light coming from it. Rose ran out of the cupboard, and crashed into it. The Patient fell to the floor, hitting a table. It collapsed to the ground, unconcious.
"Mum, get in the corner."
Rose started getting beds and equipment, putting it in front of the door.
"I'll be back."
She ran over to a window, opeing it. She took a deep breath, and climbed out onto the ledge. She took small steps along it. She moved past a window. Just as she passed it, arms smashed out, reaching for her. She screamed and almost fell. She went faster, more windows smashing as she passed. She got near the end and smashed a window, falling through. She ran out into a corridor and the door slammed behind her. Patients. She backed against the wall and more began walking down the corridor. She was back against the elevator. She rapidly began pressing the button.
"The powers down..."

Jack ran into Ward 26, down the corridor. A door was blocked.
"Oh your kidding me."
Through the gaps he could see Jackie, cowering in the corner.
"Jackie Tyler? Is roe with you?"
"No. Who are you?"
"The Doctor sent me. I'll get you out."
The ward doors opened, Patients walking in.
"I'll be right back."
He ran down the corridor, into an office. He put things in it's way, and then opened a locker, hiding in it.
"God, this is so child-ish."
The Office door started banging.

The Patient in Jackies room woke up. It stood, up, light coming from it's hand. Jackie stood up, and tried running round it, but no luck. She fell over a bed and The Patient approached...

The Doctor went into The Ward of his destination. The black curtain that was up was now on the floor. He walked over it, into the other half of the Ward. micky was on the floor, knocked out.
"Well theres Micky..."
The Ward doors opened, Patients walking in. The Doctor looked around.
He saw doors at the other end of the room. He ran in, finding an operating room. A little boy was laid on a table, his condition in check.
"The boy..."
He heard the sound of The Patients feet. The Doctor looked around, seeing a small door. He ran into it, finding himself in a cupboard. The Patients ran into the room, surrounding round the table. The Boys voice echoed.
"The time is now. An all-out strike. Make everyone happy. Destroy the madness, the unhappy. Make us all the same. All happy."
The Doctor snook out of the cupboard, into the ward. Micky stood there, eyes all black.
"Oh no..."
Patients came through the doors, surrounding The Doctor. Light came from thier hands.

The Doctor surrounded.
Jack trapped in a locker.
Jackie in danger.
Rose cornered.
