A/N: Sorry, everyone! I know it's been a long time. Lets just say when it rains it pours in my family and I was unable to get a chance to really write what I wanted to with everything going on. Thanks for sticking by me, though. I love you all for your support and your kind words. Honestly, I never really thought that I would get this big of a turn out for my story and it makes me smile to see that so many people love to read my writing so thank each and everyone of you! 3

The doctor didn't know why but they had moved him from the dark undersides of the Valiant to a bright white room with a one sided window on one of the main levels. Although it was a nice change , he couldn't think of anything other than Rose. The dream he had had, he didn't know why or how but he could feel Rose, he could feel everything he had done and he knew that she could feel it too. Could it have been the Master, but why? No, there had to be another reason, some other way for this to have happened.

Flashbacks of the dream kept replaying over and over in his mind. Everything he did to her, every single touch; he could see the blood, her blood, and he had done that to her. He had hurt his Rose.

He had no control ,everything he did it wasn't him. He could feel it, he knew what he was doing and he just couldn't stop it. He couldn't save his Rose again. And this time it was from himself.

Just then the door cracked open and in strolls the Master. Slowly closing the door he leans against the cool steel.

"What the hell are you doing to her Doctor? Is it because she agreed to stay with me?"

"No! You forced her to do that, she didn't have a choice-"

"Not true. She had a very clear choice. You or me."

"Master, you threatened to kill me if she didn't! That's not a choice! To make it worse you cause those nightmares!" The Doctor yelled filled with rage for making him hurt Rose.

The Master stopped and looked at the Doctor. "That was not me and if you know one thing about me is, unlike you, Doctor, I don't lie."

Rose looked up, frightened. How had she really seen it? She glanced sideways and there was the Master sitting right next to her. But- she just saw him with the Doctor…. Right? She bit her lip and furrowed her brow when the Master looked up.

"What is it, Flower?"

"Uh, were- were you just with the Doctor?"

"Love, I've been sitting here since you woke up."

"Oh, right..." Rose nodded and looked down.

"I am going to see him though, later today. When you're O.K of course."

Rose slowly nodded. Maybe she was just day dreaming? But it was so real. "Master, could I go down to the TARDIS to get a few things while you're with him? I want to grab a couple things from my old room."

"You're not my prisoner, Rosie. That's just fine; I can have an escort go with you."

"Alone... Please?" She begged, her voice desparate.

He looked up at her and saw how tired and scared she looked. "O.K. But be careful, I don't want you to get hurt." he agreed as he swept a strand of hair from her face.

Shakily Rose got up, stumbling slightly only to have the Master catch her before she fell.

"Are you sure you don't want someone to come with you?"

Rose nodded and straightened herself before proceeding to leave the room. A strange chill hit her as she walked through the halls causing bumps to rise on her skin and a shiver to snake down her spine.

As she walked her mind wandered back to the nightmares and what were the others exactly? Visions maybe?

Lights blinked on as she made her way down the hall where she had first met the Master and the TARDIS came into view. She smiled, for the first time in a long time, at the familiar blue box. Her fingers had been fidgeting with the one thing she had left from her life here. Her TARDIS key. Quickly she pulled the chain over her head and slid the key into the lock.

She still wasn't used to the red glow given by the TARDIS but she wandered through carefully stepping over tubes and exposed wires. Quickly making her way to the ever changing hallways, they rearranged to present Rose with her old door but there was a new door though. She glanced down the hall to see a darker blue door.

She bite her lip and looked down the hall as if to see someone who might stop her. Finding no reason not to she quietly walked down the hall and let her hand rest on the door handle to study the circular inscription in the wood. She cocked her head in wonderment when it didn't translate. There's only ever been one other time that the TARDIS couldn't translate something and god knows how well that went. Maybe it's not that it could translate this but that TARDIS doesn't want to?

Everything in her mind telling her not to open the door faded into a whisper as her wrist turned with the click of the handle. Releasing her grip to allow the door swing open Rose's eyes widened in fear of what was in front of her.

It's his room. It's the Doctor's room. It's just like in the nightmare, right down to the trinkets littered across the dresser and desk.

Rose's body froze and her heart skipped a beat.

Then there was a scream and only then did Rose realize it was her voice as her knees buckled and the floor shook beneath her. A screaming pain shot through her chest and as she fell she clutched her arm to her chest trying to force the blinding pain away.

But then there was silence. Purely silent.

"Master, what was that!" The Doctor yelled as the floor shook beneath them and he grabbed the wall.

"I- I don't know!"

A scream came tearing through the Doctor's mind strong enough to make his knees buckle. He knew that scream. Where is she?! "Where is she?"

"What?" The Master got closer to the Doctor to hear over the rattling.

"Rose! Where's Rose!"

Everything stopped, the scream, the noise, the shaking. The Master's eyes grew wide as he realized it. "The TARDIS."

"We need to get to her, now!"

It had been so long since the Doctor was able to run, really run but that wouldn't slow him down. Nothing would stop him from reaching her.

Rose lay panting on the floor as the pain flowed out of her body as quickly as it had come.

"Rose?"

Rose jumped at the sudden noise and looked back to see a man in a tweed suit and a bow tie. Quickly she scooted back further in the room to put distance between her and the stranger.

"Who are you?"

The man sighed as he brushed his floppy hair out of his face and quietly laughed to himself, "You haven't actually met me yet… I'm the Doctor, Rose."

"ROSE!" The Doctor ran through the TARDIS with the Master on his tail. Jumping over the exposed wires and tubes. They ran until Rose's door appeared in front of them and ran straight to it. The Doctor looked around, "Something isn't right."

Carefully the Doctor maneuvered so he could see down the dark hall. There at the end of the hall, at the Doctor's door was a collapsed Rose. He was by her side in an instant, pulling her into his lap.

Her body was limp as he looked her over. The Master approached from down the hall with a worried look on his face.

"What's happened?"

The Doctor shook his head, unsure how to respond. "She won't wake up. I'll have to go into her mind." The Doctor hesitated as he raised his hand to her temple. He had promise himself never to do this to her. He shook his head clear his thoughts, She needs you, and he allowed his hand to connect to the inner workings of her mind.

"Wh- what? No, that's impossible my Doctor is here… On the Valiant."

He smiled is the greatest way as he offered her his hand, "Nothing's impossible, remember? Anything can happen outside those doors but anything can happen inside them as well."

Pulling Rose to her feet he caught her as she stumbled. "Come along, then." The Doctor grinned as he took her hand in his and led her away from the dark room allowing the door to shut itself behind them.

"Doctor, what's happening to me?"

"The TARDIS is what's happening to you… Yes? No, no yes? Yes?"

A sound that Rose hadn't heard in a very long time left her lips, she laughed.

"Ah! There it is. There's that beautiful smile I've missed."

"Doctor, what do you mean the TARDIS is happening to me?"

"Well, the two me's ago on the space station you-"

"Had the entire time vortex inside of me?"

Slowly the Doctor nodded, "I thought you didn't remember that?"

"Yeah, well a lot of things happened and uh, time passes a lot quicker in the other universe."

"Rose, you haven't aged a day!"

Rose looked down at her hands and nervously fumbled with her hands, "Yeah… But," she coughed trying to clear her throat, "But, everyone else did..."

"No! Oh Rose, I'm so sorry." The Doctor moved his hand up her arm and pulled her into a hug.

She hadn't felt anything like it in such a long time. It was different but familiar. Her hair brushed against his bow tie as he pulled her close.

"Rose, can you hear me? Follow my voice Rose, you're gonna be alright... Please, come back to me."

Rose jumped at the sudden voice and looked up at the future Doctor, "Doctor, he's gonna hurt me, please don't let him hurt me." She grabbed his hand begging him not to let go.

"Rose, listen to me," He moved his hands to hold her face, his thumb lightly brushing her cheek. "He won't hurt you, I would never hurt you."

"Doctor, no wait, what's happening to me!"

"We're in you're head ok? Just follow his voice. I promise I will see you again."

Rose closed her eyes as a tear fell and when she opened them he was gone. His voice was a whisper inside her mind as she let go, grasping his hand back to reality.

Rose sat up with a cry of pain as she clutched at her head.

"Rose?" She glanced towards him to see worried eyes and his look was all it took to make her collapse in his arms, crying from the pain, love, and loss.

He looked on, watching the scene. Only realizing the love that was evidently there.
