Hello. So Chapter 7. Really hope you enjoy.
Doctor's POV
Lying on my back in the control room I was humming to myself as I tried to fix my beautiful ship. She was so old that I felt some kind of obligation to try and stop her from falling apart. It really woke me up when we fell out of the vortex and landed on the parallel universe. I had to remember that she wasn't as young as she used to be and needed to be handled with care.
Suddenly something in the back of my head twitched. That little connection to Rose that I had built over our time together nagged me. Something was not right. Surely if she was in danger she would've called me. Thinking she was alright I tried to ignore the itch but it kept getting more insistent. The TARDIS groaned and wined. Something was defiantly not right. Leaving my tools scattered around the control room I ran towards Rose's room guessing that she was most likely to be there. Running down the corridor I felt like I was in some kind of movie where the door I wanted to reach kept getting further and further away just as I was about to reach it.
At first glance Rose's room looked as it always did. The white washed walls were decorated with posters from her old room and interesting things we had discovered on our travels. Her clothes were strewn around the floor as usual and her bed was un-made. Everything was in place. I began to think there was nothing wrong when I saw Rose's shoes sticking out from next to the bed.
"Rose!" I ran to Rose crashing to my knees beside her. She was lying on her side with one hand out stretched towards a broken cup of tea. The contents of the cup were already disappearing into the carpet. Rose's hair covered her face. Gently I placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her so she was lying on her back. Her eyes were closed and her hair spread out above her like a halo.
"Rose? Rose, wake up Rose. Please wake up. You can't die on me now Rose not now not ever!" I shook her gently. There was no response.
Don't panic, don't panic I told myself and I leant forward to listen to her breath. It was small but it was still there. Taking her wrist I checked her pulse while my other hand stroked her face. Rose's pulse was slow and fading.
I had to do something fast.
I lifted her on to her bed so I could try to figure out what was wrong. Something had happened but what? Was it to do with the nano-genes and blood? Had I been over-confident again believing that nothing was wrong with Rose? Still holding her wrist I felt her pulse fading. I would have to do something soon if I was too keep Rose alive and with me.
Here I was back to the original idea that would change Rose into a Timelord. This way was more painful than the other way with the nano-genes and it wasn't always 100% certain. There were the few that didn't survive the transition and I didn't want to risk that with Rose. Leaning forward again I listened to her breathing. It too was slowing.
I sat back again with the knowledge that if I didn't act soon I would loose Rose forever. Taking a deep breath I leaned forward again.
I whispered in her ear. "I'm going to save you Rose."
I then pressed my mouth to hers in a way similar to CPR though it was not air that I was giving her. From inside myself I sent a small amount of regeneration energy into Rose's body. Pulling away I closed her mouth and waited. It seemed like a life time that I waited though I knew I'd wait for time itself to stop for Rose Tyler.
Suddenly Rose breathed in deeply and I let go of the breath that I hadn't known I was holding. She lay still for a moment then her eyelids fluttered open. I moved forward so that her wandering eyes could see me.
"Doctor?" She whispered as her eyes locked on mine. I gripped her hand gently.
"It's alright Rose. You'll be okay now. Don't worry I've got you."
Rose smiled sleepily. "I love you."
"I know Rose, I love you too." Rose sighed and closed her eyes again. I didn't settle, not yet. There was still more too come. Rose arched up and screamed in pain. She writhed and thrashed in the sheets as if she was trying to dislodge the pain.
"Shhh Rose it's going to be alright. I promise. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I watched helplessly as Rose screamed and begged me to stop the pain yet all I could do was calm her and say everything was alright even though it wasn't. As quickly as she started Rose fell back against the bed. She had passed out from all the pain which I guess was best considering the situation. For the second time in one hour I picked Rose up and carried her to the lab where I hooked her up to the machinery. Sitting down listening to the bleeps and noises I realised that for once in my life there was nothing more for me to do. The rest Rose would have to do on her own.
So? What did you think? I'm at a sort of road block at the moment. Not sure how long this is going to be. Considering continuing on with the TV series. Thought they might go on to the Impossible Planet and Satan's pit.... Thinking about a wedding? Who knows. PLease if you have any ideas i would love them. Will try to write quicker.
