He Who Sins
Chapter Twelve: Falling From Grace
Rose lay across the kitchen floor, around her empty pots and containers had been littered as she continued on her quest. Spoons stuck out of empty baked bean cans and her hand was currently in a marmalade jar as she licked Marmite off her hand. The Doctor had left the room in despair and went to find a dressing gown as he realised he was only dressed in his boxers. When he walked back into the room he was stunned into silence. Rose's body was marked with food stains; the cupboards all hung open and were bare as was the fridge whose white door had been smudge with food in Roses' ravenous hunger. The Doctor shook his head unable to understand what was happening as he moved over to Rose
'Rose you have to stop this – now' he warned her, Rose barely acknowledge him as she squirted mayo into her mouth from the squeeze tube in the fridge
'Rose!' the Doctor shouted, she cocked her head so that she looked at him as she continued to eat
'You need to stop this now!' he told her desperately. Rose shook her head
'Why?' she asked around her mouthful of mayo and Marmite, the Doctor winced and fought the urge to vomit
'Because you're doing yourself serious harm' he warned her
'Am I?' she asked carelessly as she continued to eat, her hands moved back and forward from her mouth and the fridge barely pausing for breath.
'Rose – this isn't normal' he told her desperately.
'Who knows what normal is anymore' she murmured thoughtfully as she began to eat raw potatoes as she frantically dug through the fridge.
'Rose – please stop!' the Doctor begged her as she continued to eat like a beast. She looked at him, her eyes wide for a moment
'I can't' she squeaked as she bit into another potato. The Doctor ran his fingers through his hair not knowing what to do, he glanced around and saw she had eaten nearly a week's supply of food – he knew he needed to stop her.
'Doctor, Doctor – what to do' Marilee laughed to herself as Tymon slowly walked back into the room. He paused in front of her table
'Why are you doing this to them?' he asked quietly. Marilee ignored him
'Why?' he shouted. Marilee looked up slowly from her crystal and met Tymon's eyes; he gulped as her deep golden eyes watched him and assessed him.
'To teach them a lesson boy, to teach that Doctor a lesson that he desperately needs to know' Tymon shook his head.
When Rose dug back into the fridge the Doctor dived forward and wrapped his arms around her stomach pulling her back onto him. Rose screamed in protest and the Doctor rolled over so that Rose was pinned under him. He wrapped his hands around her wrists and pinned them back beside her head, he sat on her waist and prevented her from moving. She kicked her legs desperately and screamed as she tried to move
'Get off me!' she shouted as she tried to swipe him. The Doctor ducked and shook his head
'I can't – I'm sorry, I'm so sorry but it's the only way' he told he desperately willing her to understand. Roses' eyes darted around the room as she gazed longingly at the fridge, all she could feel was the urge to eat and the weight of the Doctor on her waist
'Please let me go' she whimpered in a little frightened voice. The Doctor closed his eyes as guilt tore at his heart
'It's for the best' he whispered to himself – willing himself to believe it.
'Please Doctor?' she asked quietly, he almost gave in but when he saw the hardness of her eyes and the wildness that filled them he forced himself to hang on
'I can't – I'm so so sorry Rose but I can't' he murmured as his hands shook against her wrists. Rose rolled her head nearer the floor and stuck her tongue out, desperately trying to lick smudges of food from the floor. The Doctor felt his heart breaking, he never thought he would have to pin Rose to the floor – not like this, it was in this moment that he realised something terrible was happening.
'Rose – something's going on, I need you to fight it' he begged her. Rose looked into his eyes for a moment then back to the ham that stuck to the floor
'I can't… I'm too hungry' she whimpered.
'Rose look at me – just look at me' the Doctor told her softly. Rose tore her eyes away from the food and met his eyes
'Look at my eyes, focus on them – forget the food' he whispered. Rose tried to watch his eyes but she could taste the food on the lips, feel it on her skin
'It's too hard' she whispered as her head started to turn back to where the fridge was.
'It's never too hard' he softly told her, stroking his thumbs on her wrists as he held her down.
Marilee watched the couple and silently assessed them; Tymon breathed a sigh of relief as the crystal began to darken again as it clouded over. Marilee's pendant stopped burning and Tymon knew it was over – for now
'Don't look so relieved boy – this is kind, this is so kind compared to what's to come'
Rose closed her eyes and took a breath; she opened them and looked up at the Doctor. Her eyes were wide and she looked around her scared, silent tears rolled down her cheeks
'Doctor?' she squeaked as she looked at him. He gave her a small smile
'Hey' he murmured
'Oh god' she whispered as she recalled the moments before. The Doctor slowly rolled off of Rose and sat on the floor beside her
'Something's going on' he told her gently. Rose looked up at him, her eyes wide and scared
'But it's okay – I'm going to fix it' he told her.
Rose gasped and glanced around, her hands went to her stomach and her mouth moved
'Oh God' she cried again as she rolled her head over and vomited into the Doctors lap.
