Thank you for reviewing!

Having been chained to the desk and threatened for the better part of the week, here's an update. But that doesn't mean I haven't just increased the mean-ness of my cliff hangers...

He Who Sins

Chapter Thirty Nine: Dixie Fried

Marilee's blood fell heavily into the bowl drop after drop marking the wood with dark stains. Tymon gulped heavily as he saw her pendant burn and the goldness of her eyes become distant as they swirled. The Doctor moved towards Tymon

'Stop' Marilee instructed, her voice was no longer female, it was heavy, ridden with pain and hardened with knowledge. The Doctor paused and looked at you

'Who are you?' he asked her. Marilee let a soft laugh escape

'Marilee' she replied innocently

'I know who she is, who are you? You…you that has taken over her body' he demanded .Marilee raised her eyebrows as she raised the knife again; she stepped towards Tymon with ease and paused in front of him. She raised her finger and gently ran it down his cheek, he watched her warily from where he hung on the wall.

'You were their joy, their pride and joy' she murmured, her voice still husky. She glanced up at the Doctor, her eyes heavy with accusations

'But you destroyed it. You destroyed it all' she accused as she watched him. She shook her head as she raised her finger again.

'But it's alright' she murmured 'I can bring him back; I can bring them all back'. Marilee raised her finger and traced it down Tymon's cheeks again; he winced as she drew blood

'I'll bring you your Mama and your Papa, Tymon. But it will be a while before you see them again' she promised softly. Tymon looked up, his eyes were wide and frightened but he heard the faint promise in her voice – his hope, his only dream.

'No, don't listen to her Tymon, listen to me' the Doctor begged but he knew it was too late when he saw Tymon's eyes wide with hope. He knew emotions and he knew there was no chance, he looked on desperately as Tymon lifted his head to meet Marilee's gaze

'You can bring him back? You can bring them both back?' he asked in a small voice watching her, 'So we can be a family'. She smiled at him and nodded

'Yes Tymon, I can do that, that's why we believe' she whispered. He looked at her and nodded before offering his wrist to her

'For my Papa' he whispered as Marilee lifted the blade.

Rose closed her eyes as another pain tore through her, she tried to breathe deeply but it was no use. She slowly dragged herself up the wall and tried to stand, the room around her was spinning and she tried to walk along leaning against the wall leaving a blood trail smearing along behind her. Her pale, clammy hands slide down the wall as they clenched into fists trying to fight the pain that tore through her as she felt more blood trickle out of her. She let out a half sob as she made her way towards the Doctor and Tymon.

The Doctor jumped forward but Marilee had seen him coming, she raised her hand in the air and he was flown back against a wall. He grunted as he tried to get back up but she lower her hand and he was trapped. He struggled to move as she watched him from across the wall, her eyes burning. She picked up the knife and stroked the stray hair from Tymon's face

'I'll make it all better' she promised softly. He looked at her one last time then nodded; he held the crystal tightly within his little fist and held out his wrist to her. She kissed it before pressing the knife to it; slowly dark blood began to trickle out of it and fell into the bowl. Tymon began to struggle for breath as his pendant began to burn

'Yes' Marilee urged, her voice still dark. Tymon whimpered as his eyes shone and the blood poured out of him, he tried to open his mouth to speak but instead he just whimpered

'Tymon' Rose whispered as she dragged herself across the floor where she now lay. A trail of blood stained the floor behind her as she felt another contraction soar through her, she winced as she crawled forwards - she had to get to him.

'Rose, damn-it! Stay back!' the Doctor cried as he saw her crawling across the stone floor, he dragged himself up and tried to run towards Tymon and Marilee but a golden force field was being created around them keeping him out.

'Rose!' the Doctor shouted once he realised he couldn't get to Tymon, he dived towards her and landed beside her on the floor. She looked up at him, tears stained her face

'You have to help him!' she begged as Tymon began to scream as the power poured out of him

'I'm trying!' he exclaimed

'What's happening to him?' Rose cried as Tymon's screams filled the air.

'I don't know…but she can control the atoms. Every atom of air, oxygen, water, she can control it all, that's how she's created the wall' he told Rose as he pulled her onto his chest. He wiped the tears from her face

'You can't let her hurt him' Rose whimpered as Tymon disappeared behind a golden wall,

'I won't' he promised as he squeezed her hand, she clenched it back as pain tore through her.

'Rose?' the Doctor asked worriedly, her eyelids fluttered

'Doctor' she cried. 'Doctor save him' she begged as she gave into the darkness. The Doctor looked from the unconscious Rose in his arms to the screaming Tymon and knew he had to do something. He jumped up and pulled out his Sonic Screwdriver, then the room exploded under a golden shower.
