Chapter 7

The next morning, Rose woke up happy. She rolled over and found the Doctor sound asleep. She reached up and gently stroked his bare chest. Last night had been amazing. She had been a bit worried about Martha walking back on her own, but she was probably fine.

"You know, that is very distracting" The Doctor's voice brought her back to the present. She looked up and found heavy eyes staring down at her."Last night was amazing," he said. Rose smiled at him. "Yeah, it was" He rolled on top of her and started kissing her passionately. Just as things were getting serious again, Rose's mobile rang. The Doctor groaned and rolled off her. "If that's your mother, I'm going to scream" Rose shoved him playfully then reached over and picked up her mobile. Without looking at the screen she answered it."Hello?"

The Doctor's hands began to roam around her body, but she pushed him away. He looked like a kicked puppy.

"Rose! Help me!"

Rose shot up in the bed at the sound of Martha's voice. The Doctor sat up as well, a look of panic in his eyes. 'What?' he mouthed.

"Martha where are you?" The Doctor's eyes widened.

"I don't know. Last night I was making my way back to the Tardis when someone knocked me out. I'm in a dark room. It looks almost like a cell. Help me Rose, I'm so scared!"

"Martha, what did the person look like?""Oh my god, someone's coming in. Help me! Wait… what're you doing?!… Get off!.." The phone went dead. Rose hung up, her hands shaking. She felt tears come to her eyes. She fell against the Doctor's shoulder and began to cry. He rubbed her back. "Rose? What's happened to Martha? Where is she?" he asked. Rose lifted her head up so she was looking into his eyes. She wiped her tears away. "She's…erm…she's been kidnapped. She was knocked out last night. She woke up in a room that looks like a cell"

There was silence as the Doctor took in all the information. Finally, he spoke. "We have to find her. But how?" he thought for a minute. Then Rose had an idea. "Couldn't we locate her Tardis key?" The Doctor looked up, a smile forming on his face. He gently stroked her cheek and whispered "Clever girl" He gave her a soft kiss before leaping up and trying to find his boxers. He gave up and pulled on a new pair. Rose went over to the chest of drawers and pulled out a clean nightie. They walked to the console room hand in hand. The Doctor went up to the console and began pressing buttons.

"I'm going to make some tea. You want some?"

The Doctor smiled softly at her "Yeah"

She walked up to him and put her arms round his waist. "We're going to find her, Doctor" He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head "I know" he whispered. She leaned up and kissed him softly, hoping that it would bring him some comfort. She pulled back and walked into the kitchen. The Doctor watched her go and then turned back to the console.

Five minutes later, Rose returned with two cups of tea in her hands. She walked over to the Doctor and handed him his cup.

"Anything?" she asked. The Doctor shook his head "No" he said quietly. She rubbed his back. He put his arms round her waist, holding onto her as tight as he could. "What would I do without you Rose?" he asked. Rose looked up at him "You wouldn't" He leaned down and kissed her gently.

It was going to be a long day.
