Hello... here is my next chapter.

Thankyou SO much to everyone who has reviewed i love to know that you are reading this and what you think.

so enjoy the next chapter and remember to review.....


A look of astonishment lingered on the Doctors face as he turned to look at the assembly of aliens.

"That darkness. It's nothingness, we are in the Void," he muttered, disbelief on his face. "Are you mad? You go into the Void and you could collapse all of reality. You could destroy everything!" the Doctor exclaimed, his disbelief disappearing to be replaced by horror.

Xantha stood motionless, showing no sign of emotion at the Doctor's outburst. His unresponsive gaze only seemed to disturb the Doctor more.

"Don't you understand? Everything, including you, would be destroyed! Why are you even going into the Void anyway? What could possibly possess you to travel through universes and dimensions at such a great risk?"

"Money, and it is less noticeable if we travel through universes to do our work," one of the other creatures stated calmly from his seat behind Xantha.

The Doctor groaned in frustration as he took a step closer to Xantha. "Money! Why is it always for money? Why does it drive people to do such STUPID things? And what do you mean your work? What is it that you do and why must you do it un-noticed and between universes?" the Doctor said, curiosity calming his anger.

"Slaves. No matter what universe or what time, there is always somewhere that needs slaves. We pick up the attractive and the smart of different races, wipe them of most, if not all, emotion and thought. We make them into the perfect slaves that never complain. Occasionally we pick up one that is particularly intelligent. We wipe them of any sort of rebelliousness and sell them for their intelligence. As we travel through the void it allows us to pick up many slaves from different places and go un-noticed. It is the perfect business." Xantha stated matter-of-factly.

Jack, Martha and Donna shared the Doctors look of horror and disgust.

"Slaves! You take people from their homes, wipe them of their soul and sell them!" Donna said, disgusted. Martha and Jack merely stood there looking uneasily at the guards that stood motionless around the room. Earlier they had thought they had been human and looked almost as though there was nothing behind their eyes. They had been more correct than they had thought.

"This is wrong. You are taking innocent people and selling them for profit! This is just so wrong and I will stop you. There is no way that this will continue now that I know about this," the Doctor said, with a look in his eyes as dark as the Void that loomed above them.

At this Xantha smirked he looked the Doctor in the eye, "We knew you were going to say that. Like I said, your reputation precedes you and we know that you like to stop things like our organisation. We are prepared." He said, moving forward so that he now stood only a foot from the Doctor.

"You will not stop us," he stated simply.

"You said my reputation precedes me, yes?" the Doctor asked, receiving a sharp nod from the alien across from him. "Then you should know that I will win and there is nothing that you can do to stop me." His voice was deadly as he looked into Xantha's eyes

The smirk on the alien's face only grew. "Ah, but as I said, Doctor, we are prepared. I know your weakness. You will not stop us." Xantha said, waving his hand at a door on the far side of the room.

Two large doors opened and a guard pulled a figure into the room. The Doctors jaw dropped and his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the figure that knelt there bound and gagged. Her head was pulled back by the guard as he grabbed a handful of her blonde hair, her cheeks stained with tears.

Martha gasped as she looked into the girl's eyes. They looked so alone, so helpless, so empty. She had seen that look before in the Doctor's eyes.

The Doctor shook, tears threatening to spill as he whispered "Rose".


YAY rose!!!!!!

i'm sure you all saw that coming...

now this is a quick note to all those who are reading this.

I have been getting many story alerts and event author alerts and i find this EXTREEMLY flattering, BUT this beggs the question if i have so many people adding me to their story alerts and therefor reading this story, then WHY so FEW reviews in comparison.

Please as extreemly pathetic as it sounds i am begging you to review

if it is to say somthing about how i write, my plotline or just to tell me that you are reading and want me to continue PLEASE review even flames are welcome with open arms.

The reason i write fanfiction is (other than to get rid of the story lines which form in my head as a result of too much sparetime) to improve my writing generally (and for your reading pleasure)

So please help me to improve and review. By helping me to improve you will surely get more chapters and better writen ones at that.

So i beg of you now REVIEW!!!

:)
