Thank you for all your reviews - I think I managed to write an almost not cliff hangery chapter...
He Who Sins
Chapter Forty Two: Time To Go
Rose felt a warm tear roll down her face as pain tore through her once more; she dug her nails into her hands and took sharp breaths, never forgetting her target.
'Tymon' she croaked 'I need you to listen to me' she begged. His eyes widened as blood dripped onto the floor, and he nodded
'I need you to help me' she whispered as she clenched her fists. 'I'm about to give birth' she croaked as Tymon watched her worriedly, 'Do you want my babies to grow up in the world you knew? A world that no one should ever have to live through?'.
Slowly Tymon shook his head as he listened to Rose's words
'Wouldn't you rather they grew up in a world that you dreamed of, a world that you can know if you help me?' she said softly. Tymon felt his lip quiver as he looked at Rose begging him, through all her pain and fears she was still reaching out to him. Tymon nodded at her and bit his lip
'What can I do?' he asked softly, Rose smiled at him then looked quickly at the Doctor who nodded towards the bowl.
'I need you to drop the bowl Tymon, smash it as hard as you can' she asked him softly. Tymon's hands were shaking from the power of the bowl that rocked in his grasp, he looked down at it then back up at his mother
'Will it hurt her?' he asked softly, Rose looked him in the eye
'I don't know' she admitted softly, 'But it will stop her…and him' she told him. Tymon closed his eyes and saw all his dreams of his mother and father together again, of being a family, then he opened his eyes and saw the reality. He saw the family his mother was tearing apart, he saw the years of torture flash before his eyes, Tymon dug his fingers into the bowl as a tear rolled down his cheek
'I'm so sorry Mama' he whispered 'So sorry'.
'No!' Marilee screamed as he lifted the bowl, she began to dive towards him, the gold still pouring from her eyes and face, the Doctor dived before her and caught her before she could touch him. The Doctor threw her back away from him
'Stay away from him' he warned her harshly. Marilee ignored him and tried to run forwards again
'No – I will bring him back to power' she cried out 'None of you can stop me!'
'But I can' Tymon said simply as he lifted the bowl above his head, he turned to look at Rose who smiled softly and nodded. Taking in a deep breath, Tymon let go of the bowl
'Nooooooo!' Marilee screamed as she dived towards it, the bowl fell to the floor, smashing into a thousand pieces, the blood spilled over the floor where it hissed and scorched as golden liquid. Within a moment, all the gold was gone – except for the gold surrounding Marilee. She stood and held her arms into the air as she screamed, the gold surrounded her and tore at her
'Rose, get down!' the Doctor cried out as Marilee began to swell. Tymon ran over to Rose who greeted him with open arms before sheltering him with her body, the Doctor began to run over to her but was blown back by the force of Marilee.
'Get down!' the Doctor shouted as the gold began to rise to the ceiling, Marilee's screams filled the air as her body tore apart, each cell was wrecked with gold as it burst and died, her entire body fell apart around her until she was nothing.
'The power was too much for her' the Doctor whispered as he watched the gold cloud evaporate into nothing. He stood up to where Marilee had stood just moments before, now all that remained of her was a pile of golden ash, he ran his fingers through it and shivered as it burnt him. He dropped the ash and turned around to where he had last seen Tymon
'I'm so sorry Tymon, so sorry' he murmured gently as he walked over. When he got there he saw the look of pure terror on his face as he tugged at his pendant
'I'm free' he whispered, the Doctor smiled and nodded
'So you are' he murmured as he undid the pendant for the boy. Tymon looked down at it and dropped it into his pocket as Rose's screams filled the air.
'Doctor' she cried out, he was at her side in an instant. He clutched her hand
'They're coming' she whimpered as another contraction tore through her. The Doctor looked around frantically
'Not here, they can't come here' he muttered as he began to pick her up. Rose shook her head as the world darkened
'I'm gunna faint' she croaked - he lay her back down.
'Come on Rose, if I can just get you to the Tardis' he whispered. Rose shook her head and squeezed his hand
'I can't make it' she said softly, her eyes watering. The Doctor stood up
'Not here' he said louder to himself 'I will not have my children born here'. Rose smiled up at him
'I don't think you have a choice' she muttered as another contraction tore through her. She cried out as the blood came
'Damn it' the Doctor muttered. Rose's eyelids flickered
'Rose, sweetheart, I need you to hold on for me' the Doctor said softly. Rose nodded
'I'm trying' she whispered. The Doctor smiled softly at her and nodded
'Tymon' he instructed 'I need a bowl of warm water, some sheets and two blankets'. Tymon nodded and ran off to find the necessary supplies. The Doctor frowned down at Rose, there had already been one death tonight, who knew how many more would occur in this tiny chamber of hell.
