Hello!

So yeah,I'm alive!!!

I finally got around to writting the next chapter after a very long time.

Here's Chapter six, hope you like it:)

Tell me what you think. :)

Chapter six

"The gatekeeper of what?" I blurted out in a shocked tone. The message still continued,

"You have 48 hours to comply with our demand or the gatekeeper's parents will feel death by our hands." The computer screen dissolved into darkness and I rotated my body to face the others in the room,

"What the hell are they talking about? Why am I being called the gatekeeper of the whatever?" I roared at them with in an enraged and demanding manner.

"The Rift, gatekeeper of The Rift," Said Ianto in a quite voice.

"What the hell is this Rift and what's it got to do with me?" I asked,my body still flowing with anger.

"We weren't going to tell you because we thought the less you knew,the less danger you would be in," said Owen,sort of dipping his head lower in shame.

"I think it's about time Violet got the full story instead of only hearing what is deemed to be 'safe'," stated Nan bluntly to my parent's co-workers. Toshkio gave a nod and said,

"Well to explain it simply,there is a rift in time and space that exists in this area and this base is build directly over it."

"Is that not dangerous? I mean having a big time and space rift under the floor?" I asked with curiosity yet still maintaining my anger.

"Not when the rift is closed,when it's open bad things tend to happen," said Ianto in a grim tone. "Something bad must have happened it was opened," I thought to myself and I didn't press on for details of what had happened. I finally got the courage to ask the one thing that didn't make sense to me,

"Ok, I get that this big rift thing is very important and all, but what does it have to do with me? I mean I've only heard of this rift thing today, so why am I being called some sort of bloody gatekeeper?" I looked to my parent's co-workers expecting so sort of an answer but instead Nan replied,

"It's because you were born here dear,"in a quite way, but this still didn't answer my question.

"What, do you mean Cardiff Nan? I was born in the city hospital about 20 minutes away,"I stated with my confused expression very noticeable.

"Violet, you know you were born a few weeks early right?" asked Ianto, I gave a small "yeah" in his direction and he continued,

"Well your mum had to come in while she was 8 1/4 months pregnant with you because their was a major threat and we needed someone to help us from the base. So on that day, your mum suddenly went into labour and there was no time to get her to the hospital, so you were born in our med-lab,"while Ianto said this,I could see on his face the memory replaying in his mind and a small smile formed on his lips.

"But my birth certificate says Cardiff city hospital, do you actually have the authority to lie on an official document like that?" I asked in a way that made me feel like some naïve little child.

"Yes we do, Torchwood is outside the government and we couldn't really put 'Torchwood' as your place of birth, people would ask questions on what it meant," Tosh answered with a tiny laugh in her voice.

"Oh hence this whole secret 'protect the world from aliens' organisation right?" I said in a jokey way.

"Yes but your probably wondering still how your this gatekeeper correct?" Tosh questioned and with a nod from me she answered,

"We believe you are being called The Rift's gatekeeper is because you were born directly over the rift's strongest point,this base. The reason your mum had to come here on the day you were born was because someone was trying to open The Rift fully and almost did so, but we managed to stop them. On the exact moment you were born, energy from The Rift escaped and was absorbed into you."

"So your saying, because The Rift's energy is instead me, I'm being called it's gatekeeper?" I asked. Tosh nodded in agreement and replied,

"The energy is within you and that means as it still flows in you, you are one of the few things in the universe that can open The Rift."

"Is this why these things want me?To open The Rift for them?"

"We must not let that happen,it would create total chaos," Ianto said in a dramatic fashion.

"So it means we go and rescue my mum and dad so they won't have anything to blackmail me with!" I shouted at them, I could feel the adrenalin pumping through my veins.

"We as in Torchwood only,your parents would kill us if something happened to you," Owen said in a strict tone.

"Well if these things want me to open The Rift for them so badly then they will have to keep me alive right? Besides they already came to my house and they sent there little message here so they most likely might come looking for me here,"I snapped back,knowing full well I proved him wrong.

"She's right you know Owen,"Tosh said in agreement.

"Ok fine you win, first thing in the morning we set out to rescue them, knowing Jack he's probably already coming up with an escape plan with Gwen," Tosh stated and the other occupants in the room split up into different parts of base.

I gave a sigh, gatekeeper huh? Suddenly the problems from earlier that morning like unruly hair seem so much less insignificant.

So what you think?

Sorry if there's any grammar mistakes,I tried my best to fix them all.

Please review!

ttyl bye!
