Rose floated up into the air and the Memory Master stepped back, alarmed. She was glowing with the amber of the time vortex, the tiny piece left inside her. Her hair haloed around her head, blowing like in a strong wind. Her clothes whipped about her and her eyes glowed golden. She held her hands out either side, voice now unearthly. "You will NOT!" And a swirling shot of vortex zoomed towards the creature.
The Doctor stirred dully, aware that the scorching pains were slightly faded. He felt crisp blankets around him and became aware of two of the Sardinians standing over him. They were to all appearances human. He sat bolt upright, and groaned in pain, feeling the bandaging around his chest. One of them pushed him back and he realised they had re-set his wrist, correctly this time. The pain was bad but a lot less.
"I have to go" He said, swinging himself over the side. They tried to push him back again but failed. He wouldn't let them.
Rose? ROSE!?
He yelled telepathically.
The Bad Wolf has risen.
The voice cut into his mind.
She will not be defeated! She will not let the Memory master take him!
The Doctor realised what it was, the penny dropping with a nasty clatter.
"The Caves" He whispered, and looked at the two. "You two, listen. I need to get to the caves, can you help me? I'll only hurt myself like this" They considered and nodded. They led the way to a hovercar, and he sat in the back, wincing slightly as he sat down.
The hovercar shot off, the Doctor focusing intently on Rose's mind, now controlled by the Bad Wolf Vortex. He had to save her before the power overtook her. He knew he hadn't removed it all, had left that tiny bit, seemingly harmless but apparently giving her such a great and awful power.
"Rose" He buried his head in his hands. "How could I let this happen?"
