Troubling Encounter
While they were walking they heard footsteps from behind and around them. The Doctor stopped them with his hand. "What? What is it?". Rose asked. "You hear that?". The Doctor asked no one in particular. "Yeah". Captain Jack answered. They both were looking around while keeping Rose in the center between them. "We should just make a run for the ship". Jack said. "We'll never make it". The Doctor told him. "What we gonna do then?!". Rose asked with some panic in her voice. "We fight, it's all we can do". The Doctor told them. They all took their stands and waited for one of them to appear. They could hear the steps getting closer. The Doctor had all his courage and strength with out fear building, then, Rose slipped her hand into his and squeezed. He still had the courage and strength but, now the fear was growing. 'Who'll protect Rose?!'. The Doctor thought.
The men appeared and they automatically started for the men. One grabbed Jack and pushed him against a tree. He fought and struggled. The next guy grabbed The Doctor and did the same. Rose's hand was ripped from his grip. He could feel himself pull away from her and pushed to a tree. He could see her running over to help. "No Rose...". Was all he was able to yell out before the same guy that grabbed him flung his arm out and hit her hard across the face. She fell to the ground with a loud thud. The Doctor and Captain Jack got mad at this. Rose sat up and they could see the red mark on her cheek and the blood from the cut on the same cheek. The Doctor and Captain Jack fought harder. Suddenly the third man came out of the forest and grabbed Rose. "No, Doctor!!". Rose screamed in panic for help. They could see the man was pawing her and she was trying to fight him off. He grabbed her butt and then he grabbed her top portion. She was scared so she did the only thing she could think of...she slapped him across the face. She and the men could hear The Doctor and Captain Jack laugh at that and cheer her on. The man she slapped grabbed her and started to rip her clothes off. "No, get off me".
She tried to move and hit him but, he was too strong and fast. He ripped her shirt off and then stared at her. "Yea girl". He said as he moved towards her. She tried to run but, he grabbed her and threw her on the ground. "The boys can watch at my pleasure". He said as he got on top of her and started to kiss her on her neck and lips. "No, get off...me you...pig". She had a hard time breathing with him on top of her let alone the tears that were streaming down her face and her sobs. The Doctor and Jack fought harder and finally Jack got free and made to the guy on Rose. The Doctor got free soon after. Jack took care of the guy. He kicked his side and he rolled off of Rose. The Doctor ran to her and grabbed her. "Rose, you ok?!". The Doctor couldn't help the panic that arose from him. "I am now". She said.
The Doctor held onto her in the tightest embrace he could muster without killing Rose of course. Jack finished the guy off and all three lay unconscious on the ground around them. The Doctor still hung on to Rose and Jack came over. "You sure you're ok?!'. Jack asked. "Yes, yes I'm fine...thanks to you too". She hugged them both and gave each a kiss on the cheek. This only succeeded in making the adrenaline in them pump faster and more of it. "We should try to make it back to the TARDIS before night fall". The Doctor recommended. "I agree. Who knows when these pigs will wake up". Jack said kicking dirt on one of them. The Doctor took off his leather jacket and put it on Rose. "You'll need this more than I do. For one, I got a shirt on". The Doctor said flashing his famous grin. Rose took it and put it on excepting the warmth. She wiped the teat wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand. They continued to walk and watch their backs with Rose in the middle of them.
