I don't really like this chapter…I think it feels rushed. But do enjoy, and hopefully the next instalment will be better :-)

"It's come online."

"What?"

"The transporter." Mickey answered.

Pete glanced over his shoulder, seeing the small item on the wall. It glowed yellow. The same device he had used to cross the Void and save Rose. "It shouldn't be working…" he put down his spanner, walked over and carefully lifted the disk out of the cabinet, running his fingers over the button. "Why is it working?"

Mickey shrugged. "Maybe Rose is right…she's having visions…dreams of a possible future…maybe these things who are sending them to her, know how to create a breach but control it. A theory…"

"It should be impossible."

"I know, but if this is working, then one of us has to find the Doctor."

"He could be anywhere."

"Good point." Mickey replied.

Before Pete could reply, the voice of Jackie could be heard as she screamed.

It had started off as a lovely Saturday. As it was raining heavily, Rose and Jackie were taking the time to spend some quality time together. What that really meant was that the Tyler woman were cleaning or reading. Quite surprisingly it was Rose was cleaning, and her mother reading a relaxing romance novel.

A simple ring of the doorbell sent Jackie to the front door. As she opened it, three men burst their way in, grabbing her, twisting her so that her back was placed against one of their chests. A gun was pointed straight at her head. Jackie screamed.

Footsteps were heard as Mickey, Pete and Rose all burst in at the same time, each holding an item that could cause considerable damage to their opponents.

"Don't move any further or we'll shoot her dead!"

They halted, staring angrily.

Finally it was Rose who spoke: "What do you want?"

"You, Miss Tyler." One answered.

Rose showed no sign of emotion. "You'll let her go, and all three live?"

The men nodded.

"Release my mother, and I'll come."

"Rose!" Jackie yelled.

"NO!" Mickey shouted.

"You can't!" Pete declared.

"I can." Returned Rose. "If it means keeping you lot safe, then I'll do anything."

She stepped forward, throwing her weapon to the carpet. "Release her."

The men pushed Jackie into the arms of Pete and Mickey, instantly grabbing Rose as they fled from the house. Rose watched as her family tried to pursue, but they bundled her into a van, slammed the door and drove off. All she could hope was for rescue, and that if her instincts told her the truth, that the Doctor would save her.

Doctor…help me.

"Rose!"

"What?" Martha looked up startled. The Doctor was standing, white as a sheet, looking petrified. His eyes were shaking back and forth. "What's wrong?" she stepped closer, placing a hand on the Doctor's shoulder.

He shook his head violently. "Nothing. I'm alright. Over reacted to a memory."

Martha pursed her lips. "You're lying."

He looked at her sharply. "What?"

"I can see that you're lying. You just shouted 'Rose'. You wouldn't dismiss that with 'nothing'. Please tell me." She looked sad, rejected that the Doctor didn't trust her.

The Doctor sighed. He swiftly walked round to the other side of the console, leaning on the side. He brought his brown eyes up to her own. "You can see right through me, can't you?"

Martha nodded.

"I can't keep secrets from you." The Doctor muttered. "I suppose I will put this bluntly. Rose is in danger. Something's happening to her."

"How do you know?" she pressed.

He bit his lip, considering what to say. "I feel her in my mind."

A quizzical look crossed Martha's face. "Like a link?"

"Yeah, but not a link but something is binding us together…I feel her fear. And I heard her voice in my head." He rubbed a hand in his face. "I think I know why."

"And?" prompted Martha.

"It's hard to explain." He admitted.

"Just tell me, please."

"Alright, but it's a very long story." He proceeded to tell her about the time when Rose had opened up the heart of the Tardis and taken the Time Vortex to save him. He spoke of what had happened to part them forever. He spoke about his theory that Rose had a connection to the TARDIS that linked to him, therefore binding them together in mind.

"But it's never been strong like that before." He finished. "Never heard her voice until then."

"If you have a connection then, maybe it's possible for you to get her back. You say we can't go to this universe, but you managed it before, why not now?"

"Because I closed it off. The gap."

"Oh." Martha bit her lip.

The Doctor turned away from her. "But I'll figure something out. Something is not right…and it's coming closer."

Rose had no clue when she had blacked out, but when she woke, she realised she was no longer on the comfort of Earth, instead she could hear the humming engines, vibrating in the distance.

Blackness was around her, covering her, suffocating. She swallowed, trying to forget her fear.

But it was impossible.

She was alone, with nowhere to go, but wait till someone came for her.
