Ok first off I just have to say something!

I found a song I used to listen to years ago, long long time ago, and it hurts so much listening to it again but its so beautiful! I'm also curious to see who else has heard it!

The song is The Doctor is Dying by Chameleon Circuit. Heart wrenching song! But I still love it so much! (Also I may or may not have started crying...its an emotional song! Actually all of Chameleon Circuits songs are emotional!)

To Ems93 (Guest): I do have a plan on how their relationship will start to get better from 1 to 2, and I'll be working that out soon hopefully! Or at least a little of it! The 1st Doctor doesn't trust her at all yet, but he will soon! :D (also I'm glad you liked that chapter :) )

To atrhoads05: I am so excited to do that dinner! Not totally sure how I will yet but I have a few ideas!

To Artemis Sherwood: yup! Their friendship will be worked on in coming chapters! And with the Good Omens fic, it is OC centric! Still working on it and it is a oneshot cause it was just a fun idea I had, and it should be out this week at some point! (Hopefully!)

And to everyone else, I love you all so much! Thank you for the love and support this story has gotten!


I close my eyes and try to relax, not feeling too well, I gently rub my thumb over the watch as it changes to minute 8, then I just listen, curious about what I'd hear, and its not long before I can hear soft humming around me, I smile softly and open my eyes to find myself in my bedroom on the Tardis, I sigh happily and flop onto my back on my bed tiredly.

"I just wanna sleep..." I mumble, grabbing a pillow and burying my face into it, sighing again before I smile softly as I hear the Tardis humming loudly around me, I look up at the ceiling "hey Sexy! When am I?" I ask curiously.

She hums happily before I can suddenly hear what's being said in the console room, making me sit up.

"Oh, it's the warning lights. I'm getting rid of those. They never stop!" Calls my bow tie wearing dork, I snort in amusement and hop to my feet, grabbing some clean clothes from my wardrobe.

"Sexy! Could you inform them I'm here? I don't feel like trying to mess with the Doctor today" I call and she hums happily, I quickly change but after a few minutes as I'm trying to pull my hair up the whole place shakes, sending me off my feet and onto the floor, I gasp and look around before all of the lights slowly turn off, my eyes widen and I jump to my feet, pulling on my boots.

"Sexy...?" I call nervously, but I don't get a response, not even a vibration in the floor anymore, I grab my coat and race out of my room as fast as I can, my heart racing worriedly, something was very very wrong, I could feel it, like when someone is watching you and you know because you can feel it.

I come sliding to the top of the stairs in the 11th Doctors console room, I smile softly seeing the Doctor, Amy and Rory standing around the cold empty console, and I realize now what's happening, my heart sinks worriedly as I stay quiet for a moment.

"Where would it go?" The Doctor asks thin air, I smile a little, glad this wasn't one of the super dangerous adventures.

I lean on the railing at the top of the stairs "Honey! I'm home!" I call happily, the Doctor looks up from around the console, smiling widely, I giggle a little at that.

"Rosie Rose! Yes, perfect timing my love" he calls as I come down the stairs, he races around, kissing my cheek as he goes, pressing buttons on the way, I smile more and look to Amy and Rory, waving happily.

"Hey guys, warning! I'm still a little early, I haven't even met Rory until now" I comment, they both look a bit surprised and I chuckle a little, coming over and pulling first Amy into a hug, then Rory, then I step back happily.

"I am so glad to see you both though" I say happily and wander back to the console, gently resting my hand against it, heart sinking a little as there was no hum.

"Hold on, you haven't met me yet? How long have you been traveling with the Doctor?" Rory asks in confusion, I smile and turn to them again, leaning back against the console.

"Because wibbly-wobbly timey wimey, never try to make sense of time, it will probably just laugh at you" I hum happily, hearing the Doctor try to stifle a snort from the other side of the console, I smirk and lean over to the side, looking at the Doctor around the time rotor.

"You and time have a great relationship" I tease and he smirks at me before nodding for us to follow, I come around and gently take his hand as we head for the doors out, I gently squeeze his hand and feel a soft knocking in my mind, I smile more and open the connection, being flooded with affection and warmth, I send my own love for him to him, knowing he wouldn't be happy with this adventure, and he would need me there to help.

As we step outside I hesitate, glancing around us to see the empty sky and trash and pieces of ancient Tardis's surrounding us, and instantly I'm overwhelmed with a sense of dread and heartbreak, I stop dead in my tracks and let go of the Doctors hand, quickly shutting the connection just in case, the Doctor instantly turns to me but I shake my head a little, moving back to stand beside the Tardis.

The Doctor comes to my side quickly as I lean against the outside of the Tardis, I felt sick, like I shouldn't be here, and that was only causing a very painful headache to erupt behind my eyes, I press the palms of my hands against my eyes, rubbing them a little and groaning softly.

"Rose, maybe you should return inside" he says worriedly, I shake my head quickly.

"No, I'll be ok, just go on and do what you do, I'm just going to stay here for a few minuets, I'm fine, really, I promise" I tell him seriously "I'm just tired, I haven't slept well for a few days, thats all" I insist, managing a small smile, though he doesn't look convinced.

"Doctor, I made a promise to you a long time ago, I'd tell you if I would need help or was hurt, but I'm really ok" I insist, he sighs before nodding, gently pulling me into a kiss before he wanders off curiously, I could see the excitement in his eyes at the prospect of another time lord.

I smile sadly after him, not paying attention to what everyone was saying, I glance around nervously, and as the others walk a bit away I look to the ground, glaring a little.

"Not today House" I whisper before standing back up straight, only to wince as my head pounds.

I rub my forehead shakily, but the longer I stay standing the worse it gets, the worse I feel, so I slowly sit down, my back against the Tardis tiredly.

'Somethings wrong...really wrong, is it because I'm not even supposed to be in the universe? And now that I've stepped outside it could it be killing me...? No, this doesn't feel like I'm dying, more like I'm going to...like I can see my death coming, very quickly, way quicker than it should be...'

I try to calm my breathing, wanting to avoid a panic attack but it was already too late, my heart racing and my adrenaline levels rising dangerously quickly, I jump to my feet only for my head to pound again.

I look to the other three only to see the other people booking it towards us, I stiffen as I meet eyes with Her, the Tardis.

"Thief! Thief! You're my thief! And my Foreseer! My sister! You're both here!" She shouts, I flinch back a little in surprise.

She runs to the Doctor and he catches her in confusion and awkwardness, I quickly come over a bit closer, watching as she talks, sounding absolutely insane, only bringing a smile to my face.

"Look at you! Goodbye!" She shouts in his face, he looks to me in confusion then back to the mad woman hanging off him, I just stare in quiet shock, I knew who she was but something she said made my brain seem to shut down.

'Sister...? But what does that mean? She's...she's the Tardis, what does she mean...? Could this be what Jack had told me..?'

Another shiver runs down my spine uncomfortably as I focus back in on the scene in front of me, my eyes widen more as I see the crazed woman suddenly darting toward me, I yelp and jump back in shock before she barrels into me, pulling me into a bone crushing hug as she laughs before she is pulled back by the two patchwork people.

I stand still, just staring in confusion and shock, the Doctor moves to stand in front of me protectively, reaching back and taking my hand as he stares at them with wide eyes, I grip his hand shakily as I try to calm down a little.

"Welcome, strangers. Lovely, sorry about the mad person" the man says.

"Why am I a thief? What have I stole?" The Doctor asks cautiously, Idris turns back to look at us, meeting my gaze for a moment before I look up to the Doctor nervously.

"Me. You're going to steal me. You have stolen me. You are stealing me. Oh, tenses are difficult aren't they?" Asks the mad woman, I tighten my grip on the Doctors hand as I watch from behind him, only to wince and let go of his hand as my head pounds painfully, I close my eyes and try to drown everything out again, trying to figure out the source of my headache.

'Could it just be from me not sleeping...? It doesn't feel right, I don't feel right...I feel sick...like...really sick...' I take a hesitant step back, my stomach churning and head swimming in pain.

I press my palms to my eyes again, trying to massage away the pain, but it doesn't help at all.

I shakily look up to the others to see Idris bite the Doctor on the neck.

"No! Idris!" I yelp and jump forward, pulling him back from her, she looks to me curiously and smiles widely.

"Sister!" She cries but I flinch back, moving in front of the Doctor protectively as he wipes at the bite on his neck, she seems to pause in confusion as she watches me.

"Oh...you don't know yet..." she murmurs, I frown more as I watch her, my heart racing painfully, only causing my headache to worsen, the pain was blinding now, way past a migraine, every heartbeat sent shocks of white pain through my head, I grip the Doctor's arm behind me to stay standing.

But as I try to focus on everything in front of me the pain spikes suddenly and I fall to my knees, shaking in a cold sweat, my stomach churning more at the pain.

I can hear talking around me and a hand is laid on my back in a comforting manner but I can't focus, my vision starting to swim, I lean down shakily, holding my head in pain and closing my eyes tightly, I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt the white hot tears streaming down my face.

I could hear someone trying to talk to me, sounding worried and angry, but the longer I try to focus the worse I feel, I flump onto my side on the ground, not caring one bit about if I'd get dirty, I just curl up shakily and clutch my head, covering my eyes with my arms to try and block out the little bit of light around us.

Slowly I pass out, the pain only disappearing as I slip into unconsciousness, leaving me in a dark blackness, I look around shakily 'somethings wrong...I know I didn't jump...'

I try to stand but my body seems to be held in place, my heart sinks, terrified I'd have another horrible nightmare, but it seems this nightmare was real.

The darkness around me starts to take on a bit of a green glow "Mmmmm, a young girl, hiding an old secret" says a deep voice I recognized as House, I gulp shakily and look around again.

"Secret...? What secret would that be?" I ask, my voice strained and echoey.

"The oldest secret, a secret you don't even know" he comments, sounding a bit pleased with himself, I gulp again.

"What secret? Is it of how I got here?" I ask, almost curious now 'could he know the reason I'm here...?'

He laughs deeply around me, the green glow lighting up a little more then dimming again.

"I will let you figure that out, now, it is time you return, I have found all I need" he says ominously before the glow disappears and I gasp as I wake up.

Sitting up shakily and looking around myself, my head was still pounding but not as bad now, I see I'm still outside, but Rory is kneeling down next to me, I look up to him bleary eyed but smile a little "I'm ok now, thanks for staying" I say, he watches me closely though.

I slowly get to my feet before walking into the odd cave like room, Rory quickly following me, I nod for him to join Amy and he looks me over once more before doing so, I look over past them seeing the Doctor talking with the House possessed Auntie and Uncle, I shiver a little and lean against the wall in the doorway.

"Mind if we poke around a bit?" The Doctor asks, I shiver a little as I look past him to see the green eyes of Nephew, the Ood on me, I grimace a little and look away, looking to Rory and Amy, noticing how weirded out Rory was, though I couldn't blame him at all.

I wince as my headache spikes for a moment again, groaning a little in pain, I rub my forehead for a second until the pain is lessened, then I look up to see the Doctor coming over to me quickly, gently pressing his hand to my forehead gently to feel my temperature, frowning worriedly as he meets my eyes, I smile softly, not wanting to worry him.

"Rose? How are you feeling?" He asks worriedly, I gently take his hand.

"I'm ok, tired and a headache but nothing I haven't experienced before" I reassure, but he looks only more worried, I gently squeeze his hand.

"Come on, lets go explore this place" I say and he gives in, softly kissing my forehead before heading down a corridor away from the patchwork people, Amy and Rory following us quickly.

As we go we can soon hear a woman yelling, I stiffen nervously as the Doctor stops us, I tighten my hold on his hand as he shushes us.

"Thief!" Yells the voice of Idris, I shiver a little, remembering to what she said earlier, what she called me, which only makes me more and more confused.

"So, as soon as the Tardis is refueled, we go, yeah?" asks Rory, I shake my head a little as I keep my eyes ahead of us, that feeling of fear and disaster overwhelming me again, it was like my body wanted to get as far away from here as possible.

"No, there are Time Lords here, I heard them and they need me" the Doctor says seriously, my heart sinks and I tighten my hold on his hand shakily again.

"You two told me about your people, and you told me what you did" Amy says cautiously, I nod a little as the Doctor agrees with her.

"Yes, yes, but if they're like the Corsair they're good ones, and I can save them" he says, getting a little excited now as he turns back to the other two, I keep his hand in mine tightly, wanting so badly to just get us out of here, I didn't want to stay, and I didn't want to have to meet House in person...well, as much of a person as he can be.

"And then tell them you destroyed all the others?" Asks Amy.

"I can explain...tell them why I had too" he says softly, I frown more and follow him closely as he takes a few steps down the hallway again.

"You want to be forgiven" Amy states, I nod a little as he stops and lowers his head a little, gently squeezing my hand before he responds.

"Don't we all?" He asks, his voice nearly breaking as he turns to look back at us all, Amy nods softly and I gently let go of his hand and hug against his side gently, burying my face into his coat as he wraps his arms around me tightly.

"What do you need from me?" Asks Amy, I let him go and take his hand again, glancing around us nervously, knowing the ponds would get locked in the possessed Tardis, praying it stayed with the episode, even if it sucks for them, at the very least they are both alive.

The Doctor looks at her thankfully before patting his jacket "my screwdriver, I left it in the Tardis, it's in my jacket" he explains, looking to them again, I stay close to his side quietly, my heart starting to race as I realize I had to stay with him, if I went with them House would probably just kill me...unless he needs me for something I guess, what ever that secret he was talking about...

"You're wearing your jacket" Rory says.

"My other jacket" the Doctor retorts as we walk a little closer to the others.

"You have two of those?" Rory asks, obviously not liking this place.

Amy raises her hand "ok, I'll get it, but, Doctor. Listen to me, Don't get emotional because thats when you make mistakes" she says seriously, then to my surprise she looks to me, smiling softly "and you, keep an eye on him, don't let him get into trouble" I smile softly and nod.

"I'll try my best, but my best isn't very good. Be careful" I say softly, she nods as she tosses the Doctor a phone, he catches it with his free hand and stuffs it into a pocket in his jacket.

"Call you from the Tardis" she says before they both head off, we stay quiet as we watch them get out of sight before he smiles down at me, I smirk a little, relaxing just for the moment as I reach over and stuff my hand into his inner pocket, pulling out the sonic.

"Always trying to keep your family safe" I hum softly, he smiles softly and gently takes it from my hand, kissing me gently as he does so, I blush a little but smile as he stands back up straight, tossing the sonic into the air and catching it again.

"I'd like you to go with them, who knows what this planet could want" he says, I shake my head and tighten my hold on his hand.

"Not a chance, I'm staying with you" I retort seriously, he sighs but nods softly.

"Fine then, alright, lets go and find out what's going on" he says and we head off again, soon hearing the phone go off, the Doctor answers it and I let his hand go so he could, stuffing my hands into my pockets as I look around us nervously.

The Doctor talks with Amy for a moment before raising his sonic and and pressing the button, locking the Tardis doors so they couldn't leave.

He puts the phone back into his pocket after Amy hung up, I watch him silently before he walks into a small room that the hallway led to, I watch him from the edge of the room as he closes his eyes, my heart sinking as he tries to find where the voices of the Time Lords were, I hesitate for a moment.

'Should I tell him...? Could it make it easier for him...?'

I watch him before I make up my mind and come to stand in front of him, gently taking his hands, stopping him as he opens his eyes, looking to me confused and worried "Rose?"

I shake my head sadly "don't, don't try and find them" I murmur softly, I can see the confusion in his eyes now as I continue "there aren't any others here...no Time Lords...I'm sorry" I whisper as his eyes sadden but he shakes his head.

"You're wrong, there has to be, why else could I hear them?" He asks, he tries to pull away but I tighten my hold on his hands to keep him here.

"I'm not...this was all a trap...I'm so sorry" I murmur honestly, he was looking around again but as I say that he looks down at me, I lower my head sadly and open my side of the connection just a little, enough to send him reassurance and comfort, knowing it would hit him hard.

I can feel his anger starting to take over as he pulls away and turns around the room again before he seems to find where he could hear the voices, I look up and watch sadly, quickly closing the connection again.

He draws back an old ratty piece of fabric to find a small metal door on the wall, he looks back to me once before moving closer to it, pressing his hand to the doors before he slowly opens it, pulling the doors back to reveal many brightly lit up cubes, the same as the one the Doctor had knock on the doors of the Tardis not even an hour ago, the distress signals of other Time Lords.

I grimace as I can see his heartbreak in the stiffness of his shoulders, and how he moves his head a little as he looks at them off, as if he wasn't looking around with his eyes but actually turning his head to look at each box, my heart sinks more as I can hear the pleas for help from the long dead.

Then Auntie and Uncle come up behind him, I pull my hands from my pockets, just in case I needed to help fight them.

I step closer as he speaks "just admiring your Time Lord distress signal collection" he says softly, but I could hear the strain in his voice, the fake calm and the Oncoming Storm starting up, whipping up a wind so fierce I could feel it, could feel the anger and pain coming off of him in waves, I shudder a little and frown sadly as I watch him.

"Nice job, brilliant job. Really thought I had some friends here. But this is what the translator picked up. Cries for help from the long dead" he says, his voice low and he draws out the O in long.

He then turns to the patchwork people behind him, glancing to me over their shoulders before looking to them again, his face looks calm but I could see through it, see the pain overwhelming him.

"How many Time Lords have you lured here the way you lured me? And what happened to them all?" He asks, his voice still deathly calm.

"House. House is kind and he is wise" Auntie begins but the Doctor couldn't contain his anger any longer so he marches towards them, causing them both to stumble back.

"House repairs you when you break. Yes, I know!" He shouts in the woman's face, I frown sadly as I watch, he pulls out his sonic and starts to scan them.

"But how does he mend you? You've got the eyes of a 20 year old" he comments to Uncle.

"Thank you" the man hums, looking a little pleased, I grimace.

"No, I mean it, literally. Your eyes are 30 years younger than the rest of you" he says and pulls the mans hat off, exposing an odd alien ear and he continues to scan him again.

"Your ears don't match. Your right arm is 2 inches longer than your left. And hows your dancing?! Cause you got two left feet" he says, pretending to be cheery for a moment, as if making a joke, but I could still tell, he was angry, so very angry.

"Patchwork people. You've been repaired and patched up so often, I doubt there's anything left of what used to be you" he says, putting his sonic away before grabbing Aunties arm "I had an umbrella like you once..."

"Oh, now, it's, it's been a great arm for me this" Auntie says holding up the large mans arm, my heart sinks more as the Doctor grabs it and looks at the snake tattoo on the forearm.

"Corsair..." he says softly.

"He was a strapping big bloke wasn't he Uncle?" The man next to her agrees and she continues "I got the arm, and um, Uncle got the spine and the kidneys" she says, I come closer as the Doctor speaks again.

"You gave me hope and then you took it away. That's enough to make anyone dangerous. God knows what it will do to me. Basically...Run!" He yells in anger, Auntie runs but Uncle smirks as he watches the Doctor, I grab the Doctors hand gently to try and comfort him but he pulls out of my grip, only making my heart sink more.

"Poor old Time Lord. You're too late. House is too clever" the patchwork man says as the Doctor glares down after him, I shiver a little and glance around us as I hear the Doctors phone going off, he grabs it before answering, I stay quiet as I watch him sadly.

"Time Lord stuff, needed you out of the way" he says, I shake my head sadly as he remembers about what Idris said about the boxes.

I quickly follow him as he finds his way to where Idris was being kept, I stop a few feet away, in the doorway, my heart racing as the Doctor demands "how did you know about the boxes? You said they'd make me angry. How did you know?"

I lean against the wall and wince as another powerful spike of the headache hits me, I rub my forehead again and again but it doesn't help now, so I try to ignore it and focus on in front of me.

"Ah, it's my thief and sister" the mad woman in the cage says, I shudder at that, frowning more.

"Who are you?" He demands angrily, she opens her eyes to look up at him "it's about time" she says, I shake my head and slowly come over, staying a feet feet behind the Doctor nervously.

"I don't understand. Who are you?" He asks again.

"Do you really not know me? Just because they put me in here?" She asks, smiling as she watches him.

"They said you were dangerous" he says.

"Not the cage, stupid" she retorts, I cant help but smile a little at that, she sits up close to the bars and touches the side of her head "in here" then she leans against the bars, holding onto them.

"They put me in here. I'm the..." she pauses as she can't find the right word, I hesitate before slowly coming closer and gently laying my hand on the Doctors arm, too afraid to take his hand in case he pulled away again.

"She's...she's our ship...the Tardis" I tell him softly, she beams up at me and he looks at me like I'm crazy.

"See! She knows! My Sister always knows" Idris exclaims happily, I stiffen at that and meet her eyes.

"What do you mean when you call me sister...?" I ask softly, my heart starting to race now as she watches me, her eyes wide and confused.

"You don't know? But you always know" she insists, I shake my head.

"I really don't...I have some information but its not always right, nor is it always even close to what happens...but you don't have a sister...not besides..." I stop in confusion.

'Sister...the Tardis's sisters...they are other Tardis's...'

She watches me as she stands up, still holding onto the bars of the cage she's locked in, I shake my head a little and meet her eyes quickly.

'No jumping to conclusions, it could cause problems'

"Ok, Idris, what did you mean when you called me your sister? Your sisters are other Tardis's correct?" I ask and she nods quickly.

"So...why call me a sister? I'm not a Tardis" I explain and she gasps, her eyes wider than ever.

"You really don't know...you are my sister, one of my sisters, you are a Tardis" she says, I shake my head, trying to stay calm about all of this.

"I'm really not, I don't even come from this world, and I'm not a sentient machine as far as I am aware..."

She shakes her head "you do come from here, or you will...or you were...but you are a Tardis, as much as I" she insists, I don't even look to the Doctor, not wanting to really know what he thought of all of this yet, to wrapped up in my confusion and fear, I drop my hands to my sides and slowly step closer to the cage.

"Idris, I can't be a Tardis, look, I am, or well, I was human, I had to be, none of this was real in my old universe" I insist but she just shakes her head vehemently.

"No! No, you come from my home, our home, or you will, you were born of a human body, but a Tardis...oh what do you call it? What I am, in here" she says, pointing to her head again, I frown more.

"A...a soul...?" I ask, she nods quickly again "yes! Yes, a human body and a Tardis soul! That's how you came to be here! To be home with us" she explains, I shake my head again, stepping back a ways, keeping my eyes on her, though I could feel the Doctors eyes on me.

"No, you've got the wrong person, I'm not...I'm just me, I'm mostly human...That isn't possible, you can't put a Tardis soul into a body and have it last very long...you can't put a Tardis soul into a baby and have that baby grow up, that just isn't possible..." I mumble, my mind racing in confusion, I make my way to a wall and lean against it, trying to stay standing but as I try to process this all my headache only worsens.

I whimper in pain and rub my forehead, hearing the other two talking for a moment before I hear the Doctor yell my name, I frown in confusion and turn to look at them, only to see I was fading, not like when I jump, no this was different...my eyes widen as I meet the Doctors wide worried eyes just before I'm gone.

I stumble as I land on the ground, I wince in pain before looking around, my eyes widen seeing I'm in a dark cold room, a cold green light coming from under a door in the wall, I shakily get to my feet, my hands shaking badly as I grab the handle of the door, only for the empty metal room to brighten with the same green light.

"Ah, you have finally arrived. Good, we can begin then" House says loudly and soon the whole place is shaking, I keep a tight hold on the door handle, my heart racing.

"House! What do you want with me!?" I yell, scared out of my mind but I had to get him talking.

"You, my dear, are my food supply" he says loudly as the shaking slows to a stop, I shudder in fear.

"Food? What do you mean? You can't eat Rory and Amy, so why can you eat me?" I demand, only for him to laugh coldly.

"You still don't know, a pity, really. A waste of a life I think, your husband, your Doctor has kept a very big secret from you" he says, his voice deep.

"Is this the same secret you said I had but didn't know?" I demand.

"Of course. You are the anomaly of this world, the one thing that doesn't fit, the one who shouldn't be here, yet here you are, parading around like it doesn't change anything" he sneers, I wince a little, he wasn't wrong.

"And what does me being an anomaly have to do with you kidnapping me for food?" I ask quickly.

"You are bursting with Artron energy, it flows through you like blood" I shake my head at that, my eyes widening.

"That's not possible! It's a type of radiation! It's not able to do that" I snap.

"And there you are, as I have said, you are an anomaly. Artron energy flows through you as it does with a Tardis, with the Time Vortex itself. You are a human Tardis hybrid, as you travel through time your body stores up more and more energy, I assume you have already experienced what happens when far to much energy stores up inside of you" he hums, my heart sinks as I think back to when I had exploding with energy.

I shakily nod "ok...so I have this energy in me, but how does that make me part Tardis?" I demand, he chuckles deeply.

"I do not know, you will have to ask your Time Lord. Oh, wait, no, never mind. He will be dead soon, stuck in that prison of a world" he sneers.

I lean against the wall shakily as I try to keep calm, none of this could be true, it wasn't possible...

"You're lying! Just like you will lie to Rory and Amy!" I snap, but he chuckles deeply again.

"Then tell me, why else would I bring you along?" He asks, which stops me in my tracks, I gulp nervously.

"Because you wanted someone else to torture...?" I try but I can feel his smugness through his silence.

I shake my head and slowly stand back up straight, wincing as my head pounds at the movement.

"You are a shitty angel..." I murmur shakily, remembering who had voiced House in the show, I shake my head and go to the door again, trying the knob and this time I see it's unlocked, I smile and step out into the familiar corridor of the Tardis, though now the lights had all a horrible green tint to them.

"Ok...So you need me alive so you can siphon off the energy from my body, correct?" I ask, earning an affirming hum from him.

"Then lets make a deal, I don't kill myself, and you leave Rory and Amy alone" I say seriously, he seems to stop at that, probably surprised at my boldness.

I start down the hallway at a quick pace "what do you say? You have two minutes to reply" I say seriously, walking with purpose as I try to find the console room, praying he wouldn't see through my bluff.

He stays silent for nearly a full minute before a door appears in front of me and opens, opening out into the main control room.

"You have a strong character, if not foolish" he snipes, I cross my arms and glare at the ceiling.

"Oh fine, I won't kill them. However, I will use them as entertainment" he chuckles and I hear them running past in the hallways, though he doesn't let them see me, I sigh softly, leaning against the railing.

"You better keep that promise! No killing them!" I say seriously before wincing as my headache returns full force, I lean heavier on the railing in pain, the same blinding pain shooting through me from before.

I fall to my knees and press my head into my hands shakily "is...what is this?" I snap shakily, trying to focus.

"I am a bit peckish" he chuckles and the pain lessens, I glare up at the ceiling again shakily.

"So its you who's been doing this...stupid planet! Why do you have to make it so painful? You could at least knock me out or something!" I snap angrily, he laughs coldly before going silent, probably messing with Rory and Amy now.

I shakily get to my feet and get down the stairs and to the console, I fall into the chair shakily to rest a little.

I rub my eyes before I stiffen and gasp, my mind suddenly being force into a telepathic web, I close my eyes tightly and my heart rate speeds up seeing it's Idris.

"Sister! You have to get out of the console room! Find the other two, the pretty one and the red girl! You have to find them and help them!" She insists, I clutch my head as I watch in confusion, then the Doctor comes into view "Rose! Thank goodness your alright! Do as she says! We are coming to get you all!" He says and goes back to flying their makeshift Tardis.

I nod shakily "ok..." I whisper before the communication switches off, I gasp as I sit up, now my head hurt again, but this time it was just a normal headache thankfully.

I slowly get to my feet, glancing at the time rotor for a moment before taking off running up the stairs and away, only barely hearing House yell for me to come back, but I ignore him, running down hallway after hallway, listening for the sounds of the ponds, but as I run my headache starts to get bad again.

Pushing through the pain I soon hear talking and I turn towards it before I see Rory and Amy at a closed door, I sigh in relief and smile as I see Rory was currently getting the passcode, I come over and stop a few feet from them.

I listen as Rory speaks out the code "Crimson. 11. Delight. Petrichor...what do I do? Do I say it?"

Amy was watching as well but when he looks up they both look at me, I smile softly.

"No saying it, remember, telepathic ship" I say and tap the side of my head, they both nod but turn to see Nephew behind us, walking toward us, I press my hand to the door, closing my eyes and imagining everything those words meant, Crimson, blood. 11, the 11th Doctor. Delight, the feeling when I see him every time I jump. And Petrichor, my favorite word and my favorite smell.

After only repeating it twice in my head the door opened and I open my eyes as we race into the archived 9th and 10th Doctors console room, I beam widely as I look around, my heart leaping a little seeing the desktop, definitely my favorite of them all.

The door closes behind us as we race to the console, I quickly start looking over the levers and buttons "what is this place? Another control room?" Amy asks, I nod quickly.

"Yup, the console room of the two Doctors before your current one" I explain happily "and personally, my favorite desktop" I say and press a button, the lights all turning on and the other two start randomly pressing buttons, I look to Rory.

"What did she tell you to do?" I ask quickly, he looks to me then down before finding the slider and he quickly slides it and the shields drop, I stiffen as House speaks up.

"How did you find this place? She can't have shown you, she only just escaped me, the anomaly" he says deeply, I glare at the ceiling nervously.

"I had hoped you two humans could join Nephew as my servants" he says and the door opens again to show the green eyed Ood "but you two are nothing but trouble"

"House, stop this! You know my warning" I snap loudly but he laughs deeply, seemingly very amused.

"You lie, you would not do it. You are too afraid, I can sense your fear" he says deeply.

"Nephew, kill the humans" he says and the Ood starts coming toward us, I hear the other two behind me backing away but I stay between them and the Ood.

"I won't let you harm them" I say loudly, physically pushing the Ood back a few steps, making him stumble a little.

I stiffen as I hear Rory cry out in shock or pain, I look behind myself to see him getting another message from Idris, I smile more and look back to the Ood as he regains his footing.

I run to my friends, grabbing their arms and pulling them back a little, knowing the makeshift Tardis would land on the Ood, I watch him a little sadly, wondering what he was before House got a hold of him, wondering how he could have found his way through that rift.

Amy grabs onto one of the coral pillars and Rory grabs the railing, I let go of them and smile wider as a fierce wind picks up in here, electricity crackling and a large ball of light appears in front of us, and that lovely sound of a Tardis materializing sounds.

And after a few moments of noise and wind it all stops, the Doctor and Idris on the floor, I smile wider as he jumps up, we meet eyes and my heart leaps, he didn't look angry anymore, at least not with me, I rush forward and he catches me in a tight hug, I bury my face into his jacket for a moment, breathing in his scent happily before I pull away, smiling up at him, he beams down at me before gently pulling me into a kiss.

I happily kiss back, pulling him a little closer before we pull apart, I smile and step back as he hugs Amy happily.

I look past him to see Idris on the ground, I run over and gently help her to her feet, watching her worriedly "not good at all.." she mumbles as I keep her standing as the Doctor comes over and we both help her sit down in a more comfortable spot "how do you walk around in these things?" She asks.

I smile softly "a lot of practice, and I still get it wrong all the time" I comment softly and she smiles up at me, I return the smile, trying to not think about what was said the last time I saw her, not wanting to think about it all yet, we had more important things to do.

The Doctor turns to the Ponds "Amy, this is...well...she's our Tardis" he says, pointing to Idris, I nod and look to them as well, moving to lean against the console.

Both Ponds look at us like we are crazy.

"Except she's a woman. She's a woman, and she's our Tardis"

"She's the Tardis?" Amy asks in amazement, pointing at her, I nod to confirm.

"And she's a woman. She's a woman, and she's the Tardis" the Doctor repeats excitedly, I smile fondly at his child like glee, only to roll my eyes as he pokes her cheek.

"And what does your wife think of you with another woman?" Amy asks, I try to cover my burst of laughter but it comes out as more of a snort, covering my mouth and looking away, blushing but also very amused, I glance to him to see he looks offended and grumpy.

"No! No, shut up. it's not like that! It's. No, don't" he grumbles, I smirk softly and face him fully.

"Do we need to go to marriage counseling dear?" I ask and he looks to me with wide worried eyes, I smile and shake my head, showing my amusement and he playfully glares at me, pointing at me in warning.

Idris stands to introduce herself "Hello, I'm...Sexy" she says, I smirk more at the Doctor's groan.

"Oooh...still, shut up" he says, pointing to the Ponds then to me "you call her it too!" but before he can say anymore, the booming voice of House sounds around us, making me jump a little.

"environment has been breached. Nephew, kill them all" he says, I grimace a little and look to the makeshift Tardis console.

"Where's Nephew?" Asks Rory in worry as they all look around.

"He was standing right where you materialized" Amy says.

"Ah, well he must have been redistributed" the Doctor explains.

"Meaning what?" Rory asks a bit concerned.

"Meaning you're breathing him in right now" I say and shiver a little, Amy quickly covers her nose and they both look disgusted.

"Another Ood I failed to save"the Doctor says, I shake my head a little sadly as I look to him again.

"Doctor, I did not expect you" House says, I glare at the ceiling.

"Well thats me all over, isn't it?" The Time Lord asks, clapping his hands together and walking around the console "the lovely old unexpected me"

"The big question is now you're here, how to dispose of you" he says, my heart sinks a little.

"Don't you even think about it House" I snap but he pays me no mind.

"I could play with gravity" he says, and suddenly everyone around me gets crushed to the ground, I stiffen and try to move but I'm suddenly floating up off the ground by a few inches, my eyes widen and I try to move but I can't, causing my heart to race fearfully.

After a few seconds of them being crushed I am dropped to the ground and I fall to my knees as everyone else gets back up, I grab the edge of the console shakily and get to my feet, noticing now that Idris had fallen to the ground.

"Or I could evacuate the air from this room and watch you choke" he says, I stumble over toward Idris to try and help her as Rory does so as well but before I move a few inches I'm suddenly being taken somewhere else again, I can see the others around me suffering from the oxygen being taken away, tears fill my eyes but after just a moment I'm suddenly in the main console room.

I collapse to the glass floor shakily on my hands and knees, shaking now as my headache spikes, I groan in pain but manage to get to my feet.

"Don't hurt them!" I yell before leaning against the console shakily, closing my eyes to try and get rid of the headache, though now I realized it was probably because of House feeding off me yet again.

I move to the seat shakily and look to the ceiling for a few moment, hoping it happened just like in the show and soon in front of me the now bright green time rotor starts to move, the sound of the Tardis filling the room, I smile a little at that, it gave me just a little bit of hope.

And only a few seconds later the others all materialize in front of me, I smile wider and look to Amy to my left then to Rory, the Doctor and Idris to my right, my eyes widen seeing her laying on the ground, I quickly slide off my chair and kneel down next to her worriedly, gently taking her hand, feeling how hot her skin is, but there was also something else, at her touch, it felt like almost a spark passing through our hands, I shiver a little and look to her worriedly.

"Yes. I mean you could do that, but it just won't work. Hardwired fail safe. Living things from rooms that are deleted are automatically deposited in the main control room. But thanks for the lift" the Doctor explains happily, I smile a little and look to him then look back down to Idris.

"We are in your universe now Doctor, why should it matter to me in which room you die. I can kill you just as easily here as anywhere" House says proudly, I gently squeeze Idris's hand and look to the ceiling.

"Fear me, I've killed hundreds of Time Lords" House boasts.

The Doctor stops and I can see the sadness roll over him "Fear me, I've killed all of them" he says, I shake my head a little sadly before looking down as Idris speaks to Rory quietly, I watch worriedly before she suddenly pulls me down after she finishes speaking with him, I quickly lean down over her and she whispers in my ear.

"Be brave, dear Sister, for our thief needs you. Always and forever" she whispers before she starts to go limp, I look down at her sadly before leaning down and softly kissing her forehead.

"I will, I promise" I murmur before looking up to Rory, he looks really worried and sad, I shake my head softly and glance to the Doctor as he stands there.

"Yeah, you're right, you've completely won. Oh, you can kill us in oodles of inventive ways" he says, looking to us three on the floor, Rory shakes his head a little, unsure of what to do.

"But before you do, kill us. Allow me and my friends, Amy and Rory, and Rose, to congratulate you on being an absolutely worthy opponent" he says, pulling Amy up from her spot on the stairs and they both start clapping, I sigh softly and look down to the dying form of Idris sadly.

"Yup, you've defeated us, me my lovely wife and friends, and last, but definitely not least, the Tardis Matrix herself. A living consciousness you ripped out of this very control room, and locked up into a human body, and look at her" the Doctor rants, I could feel the anger rolling off him again.

"Doctor, she stopped breathing" Rory says worriedly, I nod a little and gently lay her hand onto her stomach before I stand slowly.

"Enough" snaps House "that is enough"

"No! It's never enough! You force a Tardis into a body so she can burn out safely a very long way away from this control room" the Doctor says, Amy comes over and kneels besides her husband and Idris's cold body.

"A flesh body can't hold the Tardis Matrix and live! Look at her body House" the Doctor continues to rant, walking around and making many hand gestures the entire speech.

"And you think I should mourn her?" House asks, sounding exasperated.

"No, I think you should be very very careful about what you let back into this control room" he says seriously, I glance down as Idris's body convulses for a moment before her mouth opens and a cloud of golden light and dust flows out of her, I shiver and gasp a little as the light flows up and circles me for a moment, I smile softly and reach my hand out and it circles my arm before shooting around the room.

"You took her from her home. But now she's back in the box again, and she's free" the Doctor says happily, I smile as I watch the light fill the room.

"No! Doctor. Stop this!" Snaps House before crying out in pain, I smirk a little.

"House! It seems you've been played for a sucker!" I laugh happily, coming to stand beside the Doctor, he reaches down and takes my hand tightly in his as we watch.

"Stop this now!" House demands.

"Look at our girl! Look at her go. Bigger on the inside!" The Doctor shouts, spinning us around, I smile more and giggle a little.

"See House! That's your problem! Size of a planet but inside you are just. So. Small!" He says fiercely as House nearly begs him to stop, groaning and crying out in pain, I tighten my hold on the Doctor's hand as I watch the golden light fly around us.

"Make it stop!" House demands.

"Finish him off, girl" the Doctor says, his voice quieter now and he leans on one arm against the console, I come closer and smile softly as the green light disappears and a brighter gold light appears behind us, we both turn to see a sort of ghost of Idris standing before us.

"Doctor, Rose" she calls, her voice echoing softly around us "are you there? It's so very dark in here" she says, we step a little closer and I smile sadly, gently squeezing the Doctor's hand as he smiles at her sadly.

"We're here" he says as we move a little closer, I smile up at the Tardis.

"I've been looking for a word, a big, complicated word but so sad" she says softly, my heart sinks a little. "I found it now"

"What word?" The Doctor asks softly, I can sense his heartbreak and sadness even as he smiles up at her.

"Alive" she nearly whispers, though the echo carried on around us "I'm alive"

The Doctor shakes his head a little "Alive isn't sad"

"It's sad when it's over" I nod a little to her, smiling sadly up at her, as she now towered over all of us.

"I'll always be here, but this is when we talked, and now even that has come to an end" she says softly, I can feel tears pricking my eyes but I don't even try to wipe them away, just staring up at the Tardis incarnate.

"There's something I didn't get to say to you, either of you"

The Doctor looks down for a moment then back up to her, I could see tears threatening to fall from his eyes as well, I gently squeeze his hand comfortingly.

"Goodbye" he murmurs, his voice very low and quiet.

"No, I just wanted to say...Hello" she says, smiling sadly down at us "Hello Doctor, Hello Rose. It's so very very nice to meet you both" she says, trying to contain her own tears.

The Doctor's lip was trembling now as tears were falling down my cheeks, I press closer against his arm gently "please..." he pleads, his voice quiet and broken as he looks down then back up to her eyes "I don't want you to" he whispers, shaking his head softly.

She starts to glow brighter and I gently step back, pulling him back a little with me as she starts to lean her head back, the light growing brighter and brighter, but neither I nor the Doctor look away, watching as she disappears into nothing before us, though the sound of the Tardis materializing sounds out loudly around us.

"I love you two" is the last soft words she gets out before she is gone, I let out a shaky breath as me and the Doctor stare at where she was for a moment before I let go of his hand shakily and hug him tightly, he wraps his arms around me and pulls me close, burying his face into my hair as I close my eyes tightly, trying to will away my own tears.

We stay there for a while, just calming down and holding onto each other for some time, the Ponds leave us be to give us some privacy.

I pull away just enough to look up to him, smiling sadly and reaching up, gently wiping away a few of his tears before cupping his cheek gently, he opens his hazel green eyes to meet my own dull brown ones.

I smile softly "she's not gone, she's still all around us" I say softly, he nods, leaning into my teach, his hands gently resting on my hips, I lean up and softly kiss his nose then his forehead.

"Come on, lets make sure nothing can ever take her from us again" I whisper before we pull apart, he kisses my cheek in passing as he heads to the controls and gets to work quickly, I quietly fall into the chair against the railings, exhausted and wanting nothing more than to fall asleep.

Amy and Rory come back and rest around us, before Rory comes over to lean against the railing next to me, I smile up at him softly.

"You ok?" He asks, I nod a little and look back to the Doctor at the console "I'm alright" I confirm but he doesn't look like he believes me.

"What did she say to you? When she whispered in your ear?" He asks softly.

I pause for a moment before leaning back more into the chair "she just told me to be brave..." I murmur before looking up to him again.

"And it wasn't your fault, I know you nurses can get it into your head that someone died because you didn't help, but you couldn't in that situation, please know that, her body wasn't meant to sustain a Tardis Matrix, there was nothing anyone could have done" I insist, he watches me for a moment before nodding a little, he gently squeezes my shoulder before he heads off after Amy, I smile a little after them.

After a while I stand, the Doctor glances over as he takes off his jacket to work more, I smile a little and come to his side, gently pulling him into a kiss before softly saying "I'm going to go and grab some pain killers and maybe get some sleep, don't work too long alright?"

He nods softly and smiles sadly down at me "I won't, I'll come join you in a bit" he says, I nod and kiss him again gently before he heads down under the console to get to work again, I watch him for a moment before I head up the stairs tiredly and toward our bedroom, exhausted and needing a shower.

Once inside I grab a change of clothes ,and pain meds for my headache, and hop into the shower, taking a long hot shower to clean off the grime and dust before I get out, dry off and get dressed, as I step out into our room the Tardis hums softly under my feet, I smile fondly at the ceiling and gently pat the wall.

"You did so well today...thank you, for everything" I say before I flop onto the bed tiredly, too tired to even begin to try and think about all of the new information I've been given, I crawl under the covers and drift off quickly into a thankfully dreamless sleep.
