Trouble At Torchwood
Chapter Three
Jack walked back into the room that he had came flying out of earlier. Jackie had moved further down the corridor to clean and wasn't near the room, satisfied that he was alone Jack opened the laptop and files marked 'confidential' that lay on the metal desk. The sound of his frantically typing fingers filled the air and he worked his way through system after system as he continued to flick through the file. No matter what he typed the words 'error' continued to flash upon the screen in huge red writing. Jack hit the computer
'It can't be!' he exclaimed at it as he frantically hit the buttons again
'Doors ascending' the computer spoke. Jack froze
'What do you mean doors ascending?' he shouted at the computer who uselessly just repeated the phrase. He jumped out of his chair remembering Teriana leading Rose and the Doctor down a corridor
'Damn it!' he shouted as he began to sprint down the corridor – only to fall on the wet patch and skid into a wall hitting his head and falling unconscious.
Rose was still in the Doctors arms but her scream rang through the room echoing off of every inch of the wall increasing the volume of it. The sound was unbearable the Doctor could barely think and Teriana look as though she was about to hit Rose. The Doctor stepped back away from Terianas' raised fist
'Don't hit her!' the Doctor tried to yell above the level of Roses' screams
'Then shut her the hell up before I do!' Teriana threatened back. The Doctor looked down at Rose whose eyes had rolled back into her head and the screams just came from her mouth as the door opened – the higher the doors went the louder the screams began – she began to clutch her head.
'Please, Rose' he whispered to her but she couldn't stop. He took a deep breath in knowing there was only one other thing her could do to stop the screams – he pressed his mouth down on top of hers. He absorbed her screams and relished in the kiss – Roses' eyes opened widely and she stopped screaming as she began to kiss him back. Suddenly Pasta Girl charged at the pair sending them flying into the wall
'I will not have that in my building!' she bellowed. The Doctor looked up and grinned
'Well you told me to shut her up' he remarked. He got to his knees and turned around to help Rose up – she was just lying against the wall in a shivering wreck. Her eyes were darting wildly around the room and she could feel the blood pounding in her ears
'Doctor?' she squeaked. He instantly crawled over to her and pulled her into his lap
'What? What is it?' he asked panicked as he stroked strands of hair out of her eyes, she took some shallow rapid breaths in before looking up at him and meeting his eyes. She grinned at him the smile she saved only for him
'Thank you' she told him – her eyes dancing with love and happiness, He looked down at her and gently cupped her cheek
'For what?' he asked confused
'For that' she whispered as she blocked out the thoughts of the door and remembered the feeling of the Doctors lips on hers. He smiled down at her knowing that love was always the best medicine – as long as he could keep her happy then he could stop the thoughts of the door working their way into her head. She swallowed hard and looked up at him
'I can see it' she hoarsely whispered. He took her face between his hands
'See what' he asked as Rose started rapidly breathing
'I can see him' she panickedly called out as she stared vacantly ahead
'Rose – need you to breathe – take deep breaths in for me' he calmly instructed her. Rose followed his instructions but her eyes remained vacant. Her hand stuck out reaching helplessly for something – for some one. The Doctor continued to hold her face with one hand and held her hand with the other. He squeezed it
'It's okay, I'm right here – I'm not going to let anyone hurt you' he reassured her and promised himself.
'It's coming' she warned him, her voice rising on hysteria
'Who's coming Rose? Can you describe him for me?' he asked her whilst he placated her by stroking her forehead. Her eyelids flickered and her eyes bulged as she opened her mouth on a scream again – the Doctor prepared himself for the scream but it never came. Instead her mouth opened and closed as though she was gasping for air – trying to gulp it in. She was obviously running out of oxygen
'He lies where no one shall ever walk – he seeps through the woodwork preying in – he taints the bad wolf – he's…. he's….' she whispered as she ran out of air
'Rose' the Doctor frantically called, both hands on her face taping it trying to get her back
'He's coming for me!' she screamed before passing out into his arms.
Teriana stood next to the now opened doorway – this was an interesting development, yes, very interesting indeed she thought.
Jack took a breath in before he tried to jump to his feet – instead he fell back against the wall
'Probably not a bright idea in your state mate' Jackie hollered down the corridor. Jack grimaced and clutched at his head
'Thanks for that – I'd never of guessed' he sarcastically replied as he rubbed his eyes trying to clear away the red dots that blurred his vision. He paused for a moment trying to remember what he was going to do
'The Doctor and Rose!' he exclaimed to himself before he carefully jumped over the gooey remains and ran towards Jackie. He ran up to her and put his hands on her shoulders looking her straight in the eye
'Have you seen the Doctor and Rose?' he demanded, she gave him a look
'No – not since they went off with that Pasta Girl' she told him
'Damn it' he exclaimed before turning back to her
'Where did they go?' he asked
'Well how should I know?' she testily told him
'Which direction did they go?' he demanded again – she glared at him and waved her mop to the right
'Went that way – something about her wanting to show them something – beats me'
Jack kissed her forehead before running down the corridor following Jackie's instructions
'Thank you' he yelled back
'Well what the hell was all that about?' she called out – he didn't answer he was too far gone by then. She shook her head and sighed to no one in particular.
Teriana stood at the entrance of the doorway her heart pounding in her chest, she had been waiting for this moment for so long – it felt like forever. She knew there was one person out there in the entire universe who could know the power held behind these doors – the Doctor would soon find out what it was and Rose had already felt the force of it within her.
The Doctor sat beside Roses' motionless body gently rocking her as he tried to think of what to do. He knew he couldn't leave her – he also knew he couldn't leave that doorway open. Rose had seen inside of it – it had been so terrible she had screamed in horror at it as she tried to block the images from her mind. Despite her eyes being closed tears steadily rolled down her cheeks staining her face. The Doctor used the back of his finger to gently wipe these tears away, the warmness of the tear contrastingly greatly to the coldness of her cheek. He had taken his suit jacket off now as well and wrapped it around Rose, we was trying so hard to keep her warm as the violent chills shook her body.
'Doctor' was Roses' tortured whisper, her eyes briefly opened and the Doctor could see the pain in them – so fresh and strong. Seeing her like this sent and icy chill through his veins chilling his soul – anger began to claw at his heart and mind as he watched her suffer.
'I'm so sorry' he whispered before reaching into his pocket. Rose met his eyes and nodded – she knew what he was going to do.
'It won't hurt a bit – I promise' he told her as his hand grabbed onto what it was looking for.
Hope you enjoyed. Review please?
