Chapter 5

Gwen, Alice and Rose raced back to the TARDIS, slipping inside and slamming the door shut behind them.

'Right, first thing's first. We are getting changed.' Rose said, gasping for breath.

Gwen and Alice nodded and followed her to the closet, all of them slipping into sensible shoes, jeans and tops.

'Rose, what are we gonna do? The Doctor said that nowhere is safe, what are we gonna do?' Alice asked, genuinely scared. She'd expected an exciting trip, not danger.

'I dunno...Gwen, any ideas?'

Gwen was sat over on the floor, her knees tucked up under her chin. It was only as Rose got closer that she realised she was crying.

'This is all my fault.' Gwen muttered. 'I shouldn't have let them out of my sight...it's the Voradon, they must have taken them.'

Rose sat down next to her. 'It's not your fault, Gwen. We don't even understand what's happened.'

'Neither do we know what to do! I am not going to just sit here and wait for them to save themselves! Jack may be clever, and brave, but he's not superman, however much he'd like to be! Sometimes, he needs other people.'

Rose looked at her sympathetically. 'Gwen, I know it's scary, but we'll think of something. The Doctor and Jack might still be ok, we don't know.'

Gwen looked up at Rose, brushing her tears away. 'I don't want to lose him Rose.' She whispered, her voice was almost inaudible.

She nodded. 'I know, I don't want to lose either of them. Let's just think about what we've got.'

'We've got the sonic-screwdriver, the psychic paper and...A space-hopper.' Alice said quietly, looking at the three, seemingly useless, items.

Gwen stood up. 'Can I look at The Doctor's message again, please?'

'Um...yeah, sure.' Rose replied, handing the psychic paper to her.

Gwen opened it and frowned at the message.

Heed this warning, and go back to the TARDIS. Take these with you, and run for your life. Nowhere is safe. Run, just run, and never come back to Cardiff again. They will find you, and they will get you. Run, just run. Run, NOW! Love from the Doctor, 2009

'Rose, Alice. Look, why would The Doctor want us to take these things with us, if he didn't want us to do anything with them? I think there's hidden meanings in this message.'

Rose and Alice walked over and looked over Gwen's shoulder at the message.

'Hey Gwen, you might be right...notice how it says 'never come back to Cardiff.' Doesn't that imply that they're still there, too? Otherwise they'd say 'never go back.' Alice said, pointing out the words.

Rose nodded. 'Yeah. I wonder why he keeps repeating the word run...' She wondered aloud.

Gwen shrugged. 'Don't know, maybe he just really wanted us to run...'

Rose shook her head. 'No, hold on.' She took the paper and counted the number of 'run's under her breath.

'There's six 'run's.' She said.

Gwen and Alice looked at her, totally confused. 'Yes, but how is that important?'

Rose sighed. 'I might be wrong, but I think six is a satanic number, like 6.6.6, is supposed to be a satanic date. Like when me and The Doctor went to this planet and there was this devil thing, and a pit. That number was everywhere, on the walls, the ceilings...everywhere. So maybe The Doctor wants us to go to that date...I don't know...'

Gwen raised her eyebrows. 'That's a long shot Rose, a very long shot. Could just be coincidence.'

'I know, but...I can't think of anything else...' She thought for a moment, 'Alice could you hand me the sonic-screwdriver, please?'

'Yeah, sure.' Alice agreed, handing it to her.

Rose took it and started fiddling with the dials, trying to turn the setting up.

'Rose! You might be right!' Gwen exclaimed, looking as if she'd just seen the light. 'That was the number of the wavelength we picked up the traces for the Voradon on! Six hundred and sixty-six!'

Rose stopped what she was doing. 'Really? That's interesting...if that's the frequency you picked them up on, then it must be linked to them...hold on. I'm setting the screwdriver to the same setting, just to see what happens.' She explained. 'Ah, there we are.'

Suddenly the sonic-screwdriver blared out blue light and a hologram of the Doctor appeared.

'Rose, I hope you made the link. I couldn't think of anything else, we didn't have much time. Don't come to Cardiff, go to Cardiff. 6th June, 2006. The Voradon have got us, their wavelength isn't actually anything to do with Satan, it just happens to be their frequency. Never forget, six, six, six.' And with that, he disappeared.

But before the blue light faded, another hologramappeared, this time of Jack. He seemed to look only at Gwen.

'I'm so sorry Gwen, but you have to try. All of you have to try. Don't forget the space-hopper.'

And then the blue light faded, and he was gone.

'Oh my God...' Rose murmured.

Gwen smiled weakly. 'It's like something out of The Da Vinci code...Rose, we need to go to the sixth of June, 2006.'

Rose nodded. 'I know, but I have no idea how to fly this thing. Besides, what are we gonna do when we get there?'

'Rose?' Alice piped up. 'I think that BuyMart has something to do with this, it blew up when we got that message, and that weird woman knew who we were. She was especially interested in Jack...'

Rose almost fainted. 'Gwen, three guesses what number address the BuyMart was.'

Gwen's mouth fell open. 'Six hundred and sixty-six?' She guessed, her voice a whisper.

Rose nodded. 'Yeah, I saw it beside the door as we went in.'

'I think we should go to that date The Doctor told us, then try find that BuyMart, it might not have been one then, though.'

'Yeah, remember Jack said it had only just opened last month.' Gwen pointed out, still looking at the space-hopper.

Rose nodded. 'Right, but we still have a problem. I have no idea how to fly the TARDIS.'

Gwen frowned. 'Jack once told me there was a default program, that if it was activated, the TARDIS would fly to wherever he had programmed it.'

'Yeah, I remember him saying that, but...he won't have programmed it for that date, will he?'

'Unless he had time to come change it.' Alice said.

Rose bit her lip. 'I don't know...he said they hadn't had much time, that's why he couldn't think of anything easier than the six, six, six thing.'

Both Gwen and Alice sighed, totally at a loss of what to do. They had met a dead end. No-one could fly the TARDIS; the default program was almost definitely not set for where they were going...

'Rose!' Gwen shouted, almost making her jump in surprise.

'What? Bloody hell, you don't have to scare the life out of me.'

'6th June, 2006! That's the date Jack took over the running of Torchwood, Cardiff. I joined in October.'

'Really, he's only been there since 2006?' Rose asked.

Gwen nodded. 'Yeah, I know, you wouldn't think it. Would you?'

'No...' Rose murmured.

'I think we should use the default program, I don't think it's safe for us to be in Cardiff in this year at the moment. It can't do any harm, can it?' Alice suggested.

Rose sighed. 'Fine, you're right Alice. Now, how do we activate it?'

'That hand there, Jack's got one just like it.' Gwen said, looking at it.

'Really? Do you think it's a link, perhaps?'

'Worth a try...' Gwen said, approaching it.

'Gwen! No!' Rose screamed, trying to stop her before she opened the tank, but it was too late. Gwen had already opened it.

There we go, hope you liked that! BananaBabe will be with you soon! Please review! X =D
