This is a bit violent and I don't know if it's too much but it's still good. Or at least I think so. I haven't got a beta so all errors are mine but nothing you might recognise belongs to me. Sorry for the wait! Please review as I need some good news!

Darkened Corners of Enlightened Minds

A muffled scream sliced through the tension, like a blade through young skin. The rip of the cry burnt through the two men equally. Jack felt it spreading through him until it reached to the tips of his toes, threatening to break through the battered leather of his boots. Although Jack stood rigid, the Doctor was the first off the mark, sprinting quick running steps pounding on the harsh floor of the TARDIS. Jack came to his senses as the shock abated slightly, replaced by fear. He heard the Doctor running ahead of him and found that even though he was lighter in this incarnation, his running footsteps seemed heavier to Jack's ears. He tried in vain to keep up with the Doctor, just catching him as he rounded a corner. "What's happening? Doctor?"

All he got in reply was a muttered "Rose..."

He was sure it wasn't even meant for his ears. Jack's muscled body nearly slammed straight into the Doctor's back as he skidded to a halt in front of a dark wooden door. His sweaty hand turned the doorknob shaking with slight shock as the metal cooled his palm down. His eyes widened as he looked up to find the bed coverless. Rose's hazel eyes clamped shut tight and her body fitting silently.

Still a little bit of your taste

In my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced

With my doubt
Still a little hard to say

What's going on?

Jack felt the wind rush past him as the Doctor sped and came to Rose's side faster than a whip crack. He cradled her face in his right hand, his other entwined tightly within her hand. Her skin was slick with perspiration, glistening magically like diamonds and plastering her blond and red hair to her face. Jack stared at the scene in front of him and came to Rose's right side, opposite from the Doctor. The Doctor's eyes were frantically searching her face, buzzing all over her body as her limbs shook and her hips raised, small cries echoing from her lips. She crashed her hips back down to the mattress and trembled, as she began to speak from her nightmare. "No, you can't do this. I won't let you. I won't let you." She gasped and she curled into a ball, facing to the Doctor. "Please, please don't do this. You're better than this."

"Rose, sweetheart, you have to wake up…" Jack began

"No." The Doctor cut him off, with a shake of his head, "I've gotta know what they did to her."

Her pleas became louder as she grasped her own healed stomach, bucking up from the bed. "No, please! You know I won't tell you anything, I'll never tell you anything!" She swore and clamped her arms tighter around her stomach.

"This has gone far enough. Rose honey, wake up."

"No! I have to see." The Doctor pressed two fingers onto her temple and entered her mind as the screams became thunderous, echoing round his head.

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on

His whole body jerked again and he found himself standing in a blood spattered room, white walls stained red. This place was familiar. He saw her, leather straps anchoring her wrists, ankles and waist to the cold marble platform. The Doctor felt like he couldn't breathe. Oxygen formed clumps in his throat and he swallowed them down forcibly. He had to keep a mantra in his head. This has already happened. You didn't stop it. Her cries were louder here, more forceful. Her eyes open and the pain was real. Adam clamped a hand around her throat and spoke whispers into her ear while she choked and gasped for breath. The Doctor watched as a Sycorax soldier held a long, blunt blade to her face. "If you do not co-operate with us we will take your blood and make you talk!"

She nodded reluctant and Adam released his grip. "I'll tell you the truth, yeah? Closer." Adam's head lowered and a smirk grew on her battered face, chuckling she whispered to him. "Idiot. You a son of a…" her pain filled scream sliced her own words off as the blade tore jagged rips through her stomach. Blood trickled from the shallow wound. "I'm not telling you anything!"

Adam looked down on her. "Not yet, at least." He motioned with his hand and the soldier exited slowly, Adam watching his retreating back. Once gone, Adam's hand flitted across her wound, soaking his fingers in her blood. He trailed them upwards, over her body, across her chest and on top of her lips. The blood trailed a path where his fingers had been, coating her neck, chin and top. Her lips turned bright scarlet as he coated them in her blood and bent down, hovering over her. She trembled and shook, twisting away as he caught her chin in his fingertips and lowered his lips on top of hers briefly. Rage bubbled to the brink of the Doctor's restraint.

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Adam peeled himself away from her, his face hovering close to Rose, blood smeared across both their lips as he smiled. "I can still taste him on your lips. Disgusting."

Rose whispered through clenched teeth. "Don't talk about him. He's worth a million of you."

Adam's face came closer to hers. "He's a murderer."

"Look who's talking." Rose retorted, "He'll come for me. He always does."

Adam laughed, "We both know that's not true, Rose." His hand clamped over her stomach and pressed harder and harder until she cried out. "Do it again, sweetheart. I love that sound."

She spat at him "Go to hell! As if I'd ever do anything for you!"

Adam wiped his face and stared at her hardly. "Oh Rose. You'll do anything for me by the time I'm finished with you." He pressed harder onto her wound and she clenched her jaw tight, unmoving. The Doctor saw tears gather at the corners of her eyes. He could see her breaking down slowly. This was what he'd done. Adam wore her down slowly. Played on everything she feared. The physical pain, memories of days gone by. Adam had even made her relive her worst moments. Again and again. He knew that she wouldn't hold out for much longer. Hadn't held out much longer. Adam's palm pressed harder into her wound, tearing at the sides and stretching her skin and will to the limit. The Doctor's anger rose higher and higher as Adam's hand pressed harder and harder. Adam's will to make her scream.

Still a little bit of your song

In my ear
Still a little bit of your words

I long to hear

You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

His hand came up from her stomach, plastered in blood. "Shall I tell you, my little rosebud?" Her eyes widened at the nickname and he smiled. "Yes. I know what he calls you. I even know what he calls you in bed. Little slut rosebud."

"He'll rescue me."

He ignored her "I had a dream, Rose. It told me everything I needed to do. Use the Sycorax's power to control the TARDIS' path. Bring it to you. Steal you from under his nose and make you suffer. You see, honey, when you suffer he suffers. It's sweet really. I should write it down and sell it as a romance novel."

She looked up at him with her head lolling slightly. "Insane nutter."

"Really? D'you reckon? Fantastic!" She bristled visibly at the word. "My dream, Rose. My master came to me in the dream. He said to me 'Come forth and I'll give you eternal life.'"

Rose laughed. "I came fifth and won a blender, Adam!"

The Doctor saw Adam's features contort in rage at the mockery of his life. She laughed harder and harder until Adam snapped. His hand became white as it morphed into a fist and slammed a punch into Rose's gut. She cried out from the pain and the tears leaked down her face. "Not so strong now, huh? Scream again for me, rosebud. Scream." The Doctor saw as he punched her gut again but Rose's will strengthened and she didn't give in. He watched as Adam's face lit up with a grin that chilled the Doctor to the core. "I'll tell you what, love, how about I make you scream another way? Have you begging me to stop. You can even pretend I'm him, rosebud."

The Doctor felt a small hand secure his shoulder.

So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
