It was the middle of the day, Sam, Dean, and Rose have been driving for a little over 4 hours. No one talked, Rose was looking through some journals, Sam was asleep, and Dean was driving.
"So fairies are real too?" Rose asked astonished.
"Yep," Dean replied.
"Weak to iron, silver, radiation, magic, poppy extract..." Rose read out loud. "Items that have multiple grains?" Rose asked.
"If someone pours any substance that has a lot of grains in front of them, they have to stop to count each grain one by one," Sam replied having woken up.
"Cream?"
"They love the stuff, its like alcohol to them," Dean replied.
"Ruby Slippers? You mean like the wizard of Oz?"
"Kinda," Sam said. "They were made by the Wicked Witch of the East and can kill all beings originating from Oz,"
"So Oz is real. What about Dorthy?"
"Yep," Dean said. Rose grinned hoping she might get to visit it sometime. The rest of the ride was Silent as Rose looked over the lore in wonder. Soon the car pulled up to a run-down looking cabin.
"So Dean, Want to tell us what we're doing here?" Sam asked.
"A friend called, he needs our help." Dean leads Sam and Rose to the door but before they could knock the door swung open.
"Sam, Dean." A scrawny looking guy greeted giving both of the brothers a hug. Rose held in a giggle at the uncomputable looks on the brother's faces.
"So, who's this," Garth asked
"Rose, Rose Tyler." She extended her hand.
"Garth," he responded and smiled, taking her hand and shaking it.
"So, what's so important that you couldn't say over the phone?" Dean said pushing his way inside, Sam and Rose followed, and Garth closed the door behind them.
"So I think there's a family of Djinn here."
"Djinn? You mean like Genies?" Rose was slightly amazed.
"Yeah, but they don't grant wishes. Unfortunately. Anyway, you guys face some right? How do you kill them?" Garth asked.
"The colt, a silver knife dipped in lamb's blood, or extreme Brain Damage, Sam killed a djinn by bashing its brains in," Dean replied.
"Okay, so where do we find them?" Garth asked. Dean huffed.
"They normally like to hide out in abandon places or ruins... Why did you need us to come down here? This could have been said over the phone."
"Well," Garth rub the back of his neck. "I don't think I could handle this on my own..." Dean and Sam stared him down knowing he wasn't telling them everything. "I actually have something else that's important and was hoping you could take over?" He asked nervously. Dean opened his mouth to lecture him but Rose cut him off.
"Of course we can," Dean glared at her. "It's not like we have anything better to do, right boys?" She looked at the and they shook their heads.
"Thank you." Garth let out a breath and hurriedly grabbed his bag and rushed to the door.
"What was that, when do you get to decide what we do and don't do," Dean growled.
"It was obvious that he was upset about something, he needed to be somewhere else. It was the right thing to do. I mean that's what your suppose to do right? Help people."
"She's right Dean," Sam said, tossing his bag onto the floor.
"Well, I'm starving," Dean muttered throwing his bag to the side. "I'm gonna get us food." He said before walking out the door. Rose and Sam started preparing the weapons, and he told her what happened last time they faced Djinn. Twenty minutes later Dean came back with a big bag of Chinese food, and the rest of the hour was spent researching where the Djinn could be located. They had finally narrowed it down to one location.
"Do we have to kill it?" Rose asked as Sam handed her a knife. Dean whirled around.
"Are you kidding me? I mean come on, you almost got torn to pieces by a werewolf. All creatures or monsters, they won't hesitate to kill and they all need to be stopped." Dean growled.
"No, though it may feel like sometimes. Dean, not all strange creatures are bad ones."
"Sweetheart, I'll believe it when I see it" He replied. That was all that was said before the left.
They entered the abandoned mansion. Sam and Rose had Knifes and Dean had the colt.
"Say behind us," Dean whispered, Rosed huffed but said nothing. They had just entered the second room when a sound drew their attention.
"Sam, Rose. Search the left room, I'll search the right." He said before walking off. Sam and Rose had just stepped into the room when Sam was tackled by one. Rose barely had time to reached as, what she assumed to be, a Djinn. She was pinned to the wall, she quickly got out of the hold. She was able to get some cuts on the female Djinn but no fatal wounds. Soon she found herself pushed into the wall again, the knife was knocked out of her hand. The Djinn's hands wrapped around Rose's neck, tattoos moving up its are. Rose struggled and from behind her, she could see Sam kill the one he was fighting with. Then Rose's eyes rolled into her head as her body fell to the ground.
Rose stretched and her eyes fluttered open. She lay in one of the many rooms the TARDIS held. 'The TARDIS?" Rose thought. 'How'd I get here?' She popped up and ran to the door, flinging it open before running out, down the hall and into the main room. There he stood in all his glory, her Doctor. He hadn't changed at all since she saw him.
"Oh, you're awake." He grinned at her, all she could do was stare at him, she could hardly believe it. She couldn't understand how she got here, she was just in another dimension. Was this even real? It felt so real, oh how she wanted it to be real.
"Rose-" His voice broke her out of her thoughts and she looked at him again. She couldn't help it, tears sprung to her eyes as she ran to him and embraced him.
"I'm back. I'm actually back." Rose's voice was watery.
"What are you talking about." He pulled back from the hug and squinted his eyes at her.
"I was trapped in another dimension after both the Cybermen and Daleks invaded Earth. They waged a global war on each other with humanity caught in the crossfire. We opened a breach but my lever slipped offline, I tried to get it up right, and I did but I couldn't hold on. As I was being pulled towards the breach, I was caught by my father and pulled to another dimension and there was no way back. But I found a way, yet it couldn't last and I was back in that parallel world with a human copy of you. I tried to live happily, I did, we got married and had kids but there was one problem: I never aged. I watched you die, I watched my children as well as their's die, I was there when the universe died. But now I'm back." She wiped the tears streaming down her face.
"What are you talking about?" The Doctor asked softly.
"I was left all alone for years." Rose sobbed
"Rose, Rose, Rose." The Doctor wiped the tears from her face. "It was a dream, you were here the whole time." He smiled at her. They embraced again as she calmed down.
"So, how do Arthurian times sound?" The Doctor grinned widely at her.
"Lovely," Her eyes were dry now but she still gave a watery laugh. She made her way to a room to change into a more suitable outfit when something caught her eye. Something dark was peeking out of her shirt. She pulled the sleeve down to reveal a tattoo. 'How did I get this?' she wandered. Memories of getting it filled her head, memories that didn't fit in with reality. 'Unless...' Her thoughts were interrupted by the Doctor peeking his head into the room, she released her shirt and turned around.
"It seems as if the TARDIS has other plans, we landed in 1850 new york." He said before disappearing, Rose smiled to herself before changing into the appropriate clothing. Once back in the main room the Doctor offered Rose his arm, she gladly took it and the exited the TARDIS into a hidden alleyway.
"No, you're not real. None of this is real" Rose backed away, she knew now that this reality was not real, and as much as it pained her she couldn't stay. She ran away from him, bumping into people. She stopped in her tracks as she remembered. Djinn, creatures that feed on human blood and can poison their victims with a touch. They are able to read a person's mind to learn their deepest desires and cause hallucinations so powerful that the immobilized victim thinks he or she is actually living in the reality. She read about it in the books, she was with Sam and Dean and they were hunting one. It had grabbed her and then she was here. "The only way to escape from the Fantasy universe is for the person to commit suicide, in which case they wake up." She remembers Dean telling her.
Sam tried to use the distraction to stab the Djinn but the knife was knocked out of his hand and he was thrown into the wall, getting knocked out in the process. Dean came around the corner and tried to shoot the Djinn with the colt yet it was knocked out of his hand. The Djinn grabbed Dean around his neck, its eyes glowed and its tattoos started to move. Before it could poison Dean, it was shot through its skull from behind. Both Dean and the Djinn dropped, Dean, landed on his feet, Rose stood behind still holding the colt. Dean stared at her for a moment before he walked towards her.
"Nice shot," Dean said, holding his hand out and Rose handed him the gun. They both walked over to Sam who was just waking up.
"Easy Sammy," Dean helped him up.
"What happened?" Sam asked.
"You got thrown into the wall and knocked out, it almost got me too but Rose shot it in the head," Dean said.
"But you were poisoned," Sam looked at Rose.
"I remembered that you said that the only way to escape the fantasy is to commit suicide."
"Yeah, but how did you know it was fake," Dean asked and Rose looked down.
"Because...the person I was with...is someone I can never see again. I could never forget the moment I lost him," Rose said sadly. "Plus the memories I have of my time of you contradicted with that fantasy. Oh, and the tattoo helped."
"I'm sorry," Sam said, knowing how it felt to lose someone.
"It's fine, I've made peace with it. Now let's get out of here, I'm starving." Rose said brushing Sam's comment off.
