Rose knew deep down that the were-wolves couldn't kill the Doctor, he would simply regenerate, but she wasn't sure she could go through that again. She knew she couldn't let them hurt the Doctor, even if it meant handing herself over.
The Doctor could see Rose's mind racing as she weighed up which option was best. He hoped and prayed she wouldn't hand herself over. He could probably take them on if she got herself to safety.
"What will it be Miss Tyler?" The were-wolf asked his voice, simpering. "Live with us, or walk away knowing we killed the man you love."
That was the last straw; Rose felt her heart ache as the were-wolf said that and she knew she couldn't walk away.
"Fine, you can have me," Rose said. "Just let the Doctor go."
The were-wolf smiled and stood up, wandering down from his throne towards Rose. She shrank back as he grabbed her arm and held it in a vice like grip.
"Dispose of the Time Lord," the were-wolf growled, dragging Rose towards the door.
"No, you said you'd let him go!" Rose protested struggling against the hold the man had on her arm.
"If I let him go he will only cause trouble," the man replied as he pulled Rose down the corridor.
The Doctor tried to break free of the two men who were holding him as Rose disappeared from sight, but with no such luck. They simply herded him towards a holding cell where he was kept whilst they decided what to do with him.
He paced backwards and forwards trying to come up with a way to escape, but the Sonic Screwdriver had been confiscated and the bars of his cells were thick enough to keep even the strongest of enemies contained.
He ran a hand through his hair starting to stress. This was all his fault, if he hadn't got the date wrong then they'd've never met the were-wolf in the first place and they wouldn't be in this situation now.
He thought over several different plans each one less likely to succeed than the last. He looked up and sighed, hoping Rose was ok.
The were-wolf dragged Rose along the corridor and practically threw her into another holding cell. She stood up, rubbing her wrist as the were-wolf slammed the door behind her. She walked up to the bars and glared at him.
"What did you throw me in here for?" She demanded.
"I must prepare you're rooms and you would only try to escape if I took you with me," the were-wolf smiled maliciously. "You can wait here and wipe that Time Lord from your memory."
Rose watched the were-wolf leave, a look of loathing on her face. She had to get out. If they were going to hurt the Doctor she'd have to get to him first. Glancing round the holding cell she found it was pretty plain. There was a bed and a chair but that was it. Obviously it was designed to make you feel comfortable until the wolves dealt with you.
Looking up, Rose found that the wolves had overlooked one thing. A ventilation shaft in the ceiling. She checked that the were-wolf wasn't coming back and then she pulled the chair into the middle of the room and attempted to remove the grating. It took a lot of shoving but she eventually managed it and climbed in.
Crawling along she tried to find where exactly the Doctor was. Somehow she knew which turn to take when she came to a fork and it was almost a though something was guiding her.
The Doctor was starting to worry now. The wolves hadn't been back for him but several people had run past his cell talking in worried voices about a prisoner escaping. He hoped that it was Rose and that they didn't find her.
He was loosing hope that he'd be able to break out. He'd decided that he'd have to wait until they opened the door and then he'd make a break for it.
So it made him jump when he heard Rose's voice hiss at him. He looked all round trying to locate her and it was only when he looked up that he saw the ventilation shaft.
"How did you get up there?" He asked incredulously.
"Chair," Rose said. "I can't believe you aren't already up here."
The Doctor grabbed the chair in his cell and stood on it. Rose crawled back a bit so the Doctor could climb up inside.
"I didn't see it," the Doctor admitted. "I was too worried about you."
Rose smiled slightly and hugged him.
"Well I'm ok," she said.
"They know you've escaped," the Doctor muttered glancing around in the cramped space.
"Then we better move," Rose shoved the Doctor along in the shaft and they made their way slowly towards what they hoped was freedom.
As it began to grow dark outside the were-wolves grew restless. Their prisoners had escaped and they were mere minutes away from their transformations.
"We will find them my children," the king growled to his boys. "And when we do, you can kill the Time Lord."
The Doctor and Rose froze in the shaft as they heard a wolf howl. They moved faster after that and Rose almost ran straight into the Doctor when he stopped.
"I'll catch you ok?" The Doctor said, dropping out of the shaft and looking round to check they were alone. He held out his arms and Rose dropped down to.
Grabbing he hand they ran towards the door and out into safety. What they didn't see was the three wolves chasing after them.
