Chapter Two
The Doctor exchanged a knowing glance with Rose who had met his eyes instantly. They turned to each other in preparation to grab the others hand and run in the direction of the scream – the only problem was the group of people blocking their way. Instead the Doctor and Rose stood there hand in hand whilst on one side Pasta Girl blocked the corridor and on the other side Jackie stood with her hands on her hips staring at them. Jack stood in-between the two women but further back nearer to a wall.
'You will ignore that' Teriana coolly informed them
'That was a scream – a real scream' the Doctor told her, not understanding, 'We need to find out where it was coming from'. Teriana stared at the pair of them
'No, you don't' she informed them
'It happens all the time around here – you just get used to them in the end and ignore them' Jackie moaned to them as she picked up her mop preparing to clean the Abzorbalof mess. Rose turned to look at her mum in disbelief
'You just ignore them?' she asked
'Well there ain't nothing you can do about it' she told them as water began to slurp over the top of the bucket and onto the floor.
'We shall proceed in this direction' Teriana told them as she continued to walk. The Doctor glanced sideways at Rose who was just staring at her mum in disbelief. He gently tugged her arm
'Come on' he whispered into her ear 'there isn't anything we can do here. It's best to just follow them and hope they lead us to the screams' Rose looked up at him still unsure but she slowly nodded. He squeezed her hand and they started to walk along the corridor, Rose turned over her shoulder
'Aren't ya coming Jack?' she asked as he stood there talking into the watch on his arm. He looked up at her – his gaze deadly serious for a moment
'I'll catch up with you later – I've got some work to do first' he told them, when Rose frowned at him he gave her one of his customary grins to reassure her.
'Promise?' she asked him meekly
'Yep' he exclaimed as he waved her off. Rose sighed and rested her head back on the Doctors arm
'All right?' he quietly asked, she frowned and looked up at him. Then she slowly shook her head
'What is it?' he asked worriedly. She studied his eyes
'I don't know – I just have a bad feeling about something…. a terrible feeling' she began to explain. As soon as she said that Adeloa turned around and stared at her – her eyes cold and empty – they were haunting eyes. Rose shivered as she stared at her – uncontrollable waves of fear shooting through her body and into her soul. Her hands were shaking and her jaw was chattering - her entire body was shaking uncontrollably.
'Rose!' the Doctor urgently called as he released her hand and stood in front of her. He pressed his hands to her cold face – she shivered under his touch, her eyes beginning to well. Her lips were quickly turning blue and her skin deathly pale. The Doctors' eyes frantically searched her face as she began to whimper; he pulled his long brown jacket of and threw it over her shoulders. She put her arms in the sleeves – drowning in the depths of the huge jacket, the Doctors face was distorted with fear and unknowing as Rose looked at him. He pulled her into his arms and crushed her there trying to warm her with the heat from his own body
'Oh Rose' he whispered into her hair as he held her close.
'What's happening to me?' she whimpered as she buried her face in the Doctor's shoulder.
'I don't know' he whispered 'I don't know'
'Come now, we must get going' Teriana impatiently told them
'Can't you see we're busy?' he spat at her. Teriana sighed and began to walk towards them
'Pasta Girl is….' Rose began to warn the Doctor but he shushed her. He held her to his chest still but turned around so he could see Teriana who was swiftly approaching. She stood directly behind Rose and batted her eyelids at the Doctor who stared coldly back.
'We must get going' she informed him
'Not why Rose is like this' he told her
'Then leave her' she stated simply whilst smiling at him. The Doctors brow furrowed as he watched her, anger came swiftly to his eyes
'I will not leave her' he told her – the anger being heard on each decibel. Teriana rolled her eyes as she watched Rose clinging to the Doctor.
'If you do not come you will be left here' she warned him. The Doctor paused to think then he heard the scream piecing through the air again – the scream sent a fresh wave of shivers through Roses' soul and her body shook violently, her breathe was coming fast and shallow – it created a cloud in the air every time she breathed out. The Doctor was at her side in an instant holding her up and feeling her forehead.
'Something's not right' he began slowly as he watched Rose deteriorate in front of him.
'I know – something's terribly wrong' she whispered her voice becoming weak. He put his hands on her face and looked into her eyes
'What is it Rose? What's happening?' he asked his voice cracking
'I….I don't know…' she whimpered before she threw herself into his arms. He caught her and held her close breathing in her scent
'We are leaving now' Teriana announced as she slammed the doors shut behind them so there was no going back. Teriana began to walk forwards swiftly, taking long confidant strides. The Doctor looked at Rose
'I know' she whispered 'It's okay'
'I'm sorry' he replied 'But I have to'
'You know I'd do the same' she whispered at him smiling. He grinned at her then lifted her off her feet – he held her against his chest, her legs dangling over his elbow, her head resting against his shoulder. Her blonde hair trailed down his back and he began to carry her down the long corridors. Every time a shiver ran through her she would lean closer into him and he would hold her tighter – his face becoming more determined and his eyes becoming darker. The further they followed Pasta Girl into the corridors the darker it became and the louder the screams became. Every time they heard a scream Rose would begin to shiver again, the Doctor longed to take her back to the Tardis, tuck her up into bed and feed her hot soup – but he couldn't. All he could do was close one hand over her ear in an attempt to block her from hearing the screams – she smiled gratefully at him but he could still see the ghosts that shadowed her eyes.
'We are here' Teriana announced as they approached two huge steel doors. Teriana eyed the Doctor who was still holding Rose
'You can put her down over there' she said gesturing towards the concrete floor – the cold, hard concrete floor.
'No, I'll be hanging on to her' he told Teriana. She walked slowly up to him, her arms behind her back studying him. When she reached him she raised her arm in an attempt to caress his cheek
'But then how can we become better acquainted?' she asked whilst she undressed him with her eyes. Just as her hand was about to reach his face Roses' hand came flying up and grabbed her wrist
'Not bloody likely' she told her. Teriana glared at her
'Can't you go back to dying?' she asked venomously
'Oi, Pasta Girl' Rose started – Teriana gasped and clenched her fists
'What did you call me?' she asked her voice deep and dangerous.
'I said-' Rose began but the Doctor started to walk back moving Rose away from her.
'No fights please' he whispered to her 'I don't want to see you get hurt – especially not when you're like this'. She looked up at him
'What makes you think I'd lose?' she asked smirking, he raised his eyebrow
'Please?' he asked. Her heart melted from his smile
'Fine – but only for you' she told him as she continued to lie in his arms. He grinned down at her
'Thank you' they were staring into each others eyes smiling when the sounds of metal and concrete colliding filled the air – Teriana had opened the doors.
