Hey! I said there would be an update today! Finally one of my promises is kept! Anyway the last chapter was the last chapter going along with the actual Doctor Who storyline. Now it's just the nonsense from my brain aside the from characters because those belong to BBC. I can't really say when the next chapter of this is going to be out but I can say that I know where this story is going to go and I know how it ends. The only thing is getting the damn thing typed out. So... Enjoy!


Last time: She looked back up at River in surprise, "It's me. I'm Melody. I'm your daughter." Amy and Rory stared at her surprise etched into their faces.

Meanwhile in the Tardis...

The Doctor put them in the time vortex and then turned to Rose, "You knew." It wasn't a question.

Rose sighed, "I did."

The Doctor walked over and placed his hands on her arms, "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked quietly.

"Time zones, you know. Telling you would create a paradox and then the whole world would implode." She said laughing a bit.

The Doctor smiled, "The world imploding didn't seem to stop you all those years ago."

Rose rolled her eyes, "Well I wasn't exactly 900 years old then now was I?" She said taking a step back and walking toward the hallway, "I'm going to go take a shower." She said rubbing her hair which, now that the Doctor actually looked, was really tangled. "It's hard to take a shower when you're in the Marines or whatever." She said snickering as she remembered her sneaking into the army.

The Doctor watched her walk away smiling a bit to himself. The Tardis hummed in happiness and the Doctor walked over and patted the console, "Yah I'm glad to have her back too old girl."

One clean shower later...

Rose came out of shower with her hair in a towel. She wore her black silk pajamas and as she walked back into the console a wave of sadness and nostalgia hit her. She trailed a hand over the now clean console and looked up at the metal bars flowing upwards. She sighed, So much has changed... She thought. I used to hate him... I used to hate him to Planet 6 and back... And now I love him more than the universe.

Funny how people get in your head. The Tardis' feminine voice said into her brain.

That's not funny, Rose retorted, though a small smile graced her face. I missed you.

I missed you too, my beautiful bad wolf. She paused. The Doctor is waiting for you, although he may not know it...

Are you playing matchmaker again? Rose asked.

Well you're not getting the door to your room anytime soon so I would go meet him in his. She said sounding rather smug with herself.

Rose sighed and then made her way to the Doctors quarters with a small smile. She stopped outside the door and lightly touched the Gallifreyan writing on it.

"Here we are Doctor..." Rose whispered to the door. "All these years later... I've fought against Chimerons, Slitheen, even a whole army of Solarix... and I can't even find the courage to open your door." She muttered to herself.

Luckily the Tardis did it for her and she found herself walking inside, her eyes immediately going to the four poster bed. The Doctor was sitting there, reading glasses on, a book in his hands.

She had the sudden urge to cry. She never thought she could see this, his room, the Tardis, him. She had missed him so much. There were so many things she wanted to say, so many promises she wanted to make but she couldn't get any of them out. She felt tears at the corner of her eyes and her legs were going to give out if she wasn't careful.

The Doctor looked up, confused eyes landing on her. He set his book down and hurriedly walked over, his eyes never leaving her face. Her whole body was shaking slightly as she fought back the tears. He placed a hand on her arm and said, "Rose?"

Her name broke her.

An ugly sob forced its way out of her mouth and her knees buckled. The Doctor caught her and her hands tangled in his pajama shirt. He pulled her close and she cried. He murmured 'It's okays' and ' you're safe's' into her ear and she pulled him closer. He pulled her to the bed and laid them both down. She cried and tried to speak but to no avail.

He didn't know exactly what had pushed her over the metaphorical edge but he didn't need to know. They both had their demons and that was that.

Rose's sobbing died down but they didn't move. Their grips on each other didn't loosen.

Neither slept. The things each knew made it harder to get anywhere near a relaxing sleep, but that only made the moment even better. Lying in each other's arms with nothing but frozen time was something neither thought would ever happen. The moment was filled with loud silence, exciting peace, and sweet sweet serenity.

And then shattering pain.

The Tardis lights clicked off and a horrid sound filled it's confines. It sounded like a computerized glitching. The two shot up, looking at each other worriedly.

"What is that?!" The Doctor yelled over the sound.

"They found me." Rose said looking scared.

The Doctor read her lips and frowned in confusion. "What?! Who?!"

She rushed to the console room with the Doctor close behind. "Doctor I'm so sorry."

"What?!" He exclaimed. "Rose what's wrong?"

The noise stopped and she turned to Doctor and with a face as serious as the plague, "Don't call me Rose. Not now. Now I am the Professor."

The Doctor seemed to understand and he nodded solemnly, "When am I going to see you again?" He whispered.

She laid a hand on his cheek and smiled, "Oh Doctor..." She pulled off the blue ring around her finger and pushed it into the Doctor's hand. He clenched his fist tightly around it.

The Tardis landed hard and both of them were almost thrown to the ground with the force of it. Rose was the one to regain her balance first and before the Doctor could stop her she turned and ran out the doors of the Tardis, only stopping for a second to throw back a sad smile as the doors closed behind her.

The Doctor had a very bad feeling about what their future would bring.

Meanwhile with the Professor..

She was running. She couldn't stop. They had stopped the Tardis in a countryside with nothing but hills and grass. She had to keep running. They would catch her if she stopped. Just like last time. And she couldn't go back. Not to that hellish place.

She knew she was fucked as soon as she felt that rock hit the tip of her foot wrong. She didn't even try and fight the blue light surrounding her or the spots appearing in her vision. She was being teleported and sedated. She felt herself lift off the ground and then there was the feeling of cool metal pressing against her back.

The last thing she heard was a rough voice saying, "We found you..." Then everything went black.

Back in Cardiff...

"Wait so was it Rose who yelled, or you?" Jack asked a huge smile plastered on his face as he listened to Koschei tell a story about how him and Rose escaped from some Zealots after accidentally eating their sacred food.

"It was me. I was always the one who screamed." Koschei said thinking back. He was sitting at one of the many work stations at Torchwood while Jack sat on the desk listening.

"You know I found her hanging from a barrage balloon in the middle of a world war with the Union Jack plastered all over her chest." Jack said with a beaming smile.

Both of them froze as a familiar sound filled the underground base. "Speaking of trouble." They both turned to the blue police box appearing out of nothing and waited for their favorite people to step out.

The door opened and only one stepped out.

And that one person was holding something that made Koschei's blood run cold. "Rose's ring." He muttered.

"You know what this means?" The Doctor asked running up to Koschei.

"I-I need the Tardis console. Rose is in some big trouble." He said running toward the Tardis and grabbing the ring out of the Doctor's hand. He grabbed the Doctor by the back of the collar and dragged him back into the Tardis, the door slamming shut behind them.

"What happened to Rose?" The Doctor asked urgently turning to look at Koschei as he raced around the console.

"She's been taken." Koschei explained looking for something in the console. "By some very bad, very mean, very cruel people."

"How do you know that?" The Doctor asked going forward and leaning on the railings.

"A long time ago. I think a year after I started travelling with the Professor we got stranded on an abandoned asteroid because Rose didn't refuel the Tardis because of how stubborn she was about going back to Earth-"

"Why did she not come back to Cardiff to refuel?"

"Because you might've been there." Koschei said glancing at the Doctor before going back to looking around the console. "But anyway on this particular asteroid there happened to be a rift good enough to refuel the Tardis but it was a tiny one. We needed to stay there for a bit before we could leave. However a black door and two humanoid looking things on a tiny deserted asteroid probably looked a bit weird." Koschei paused and sighed, "We got noticed."

"By who." The Doctor asked.

"By a small group that went by the Sluvix Commune Of Holy Divinity."

"Isn't that a mouthful." The Doctor commented.

"That's what the Professor said." Koschei said with a small smile. He seemed to have found what he was looking for and he was now taking off panel after panel of Tardis console and wiring some things. "Anyway they landed on the asteroid and invited us back to their ship." Koschei sighed, "How could we say no? They seemed like nice aliens and we were going to be there for awhile, so why not be nice to the neighbors?" Koschei said with a bitter smile. "And you know Rose... Even back then she wanted to be on good terms with everyone... So we went up. Had some very nice dinner with some very 'nice' aliens." He said, saying the word like he had a knife in his throat. "And, of course, we got into a bit of trouble. We always did. This time it was really bad trouble. We stayed the night on their ship. We woke up chained to a metal wall next to each other." Koschei paused again, wincing as the memories came flooding back. "It turned out that particular society was a bit of a fan of Rose. Or, more so, the 'big bad wolf' as many people put it. They thought her power was the work of a higher god. They thought that finding her was fate and that her power was obviously meant for them to take." Koschei said through gritted teeth. " Rose couldn't do anything. They had her hopped up on drugs most of the time, I was only there on the sidelines, 'something for them to play with' one of them said to me once." He paused in his searching once more and clamped his eyes shut. " I saw everything they did to her."

The Doctor didn't ask him what happened. He wouldn't risk putting one of his friends back into one of their worst memories. "We need to find her Koschei." He said firmly.

One shaky breath later, Koschei was searching through the console once more. "We got out, obviously, but Rose was worried. They were after us, and they weren't going to stop. We put tracking devices in each other. To find me it was my extra Tardis key. For her it was her ring." Koschei said shoving aside one last panel before pulling out something that looked like a piece of blue tinfoil. Koschei sighed, "We need to get her back fast. It won't be like last time..." Koschei said, wiring the device into the Tardis. "They're more advanced. Angrier." Koschei paused, his lips turning into a hard line. "It'll be worse."
