There was a knock at Owen's flat. He looked at the clock 3 o'clock. Who would visit at this time? But Owen had a good guess that it was Gwen.
"Who is it?" he called still slumped on his leather chair.
"It's me" Gwen called
Owen jumped up and he shoved some magazines under the sofa.
"Owen please let me in" Gwen called
"I knew you couldn't stay away from me for long" Owen opened the door. Gwen looked terrible her stitches had come undone and her hands were covered in blood.
Owen carried Gwen to the chair he guessed that she hadn't had anything to eat; he went into the kitchen to get Gwen a drink and something to eat. Owen put the drink and energy bar down on the glass table.
"Gwen what has happened?" Owen asked he knew it was a stupid question.
"Owen I've" Gwen fainted. Owen panicked for a second then his doctor mode flickered on. Owen carried Gwen to the bed and placed her down gently on the bed. Owen quickly stitched up Gwen's side and put another bandage. Owen put Gwen's back into a clean sling; he went to go and went to go get the water and energy bar. Owen came back into the room and Gwen was awake.
"Drink this" Owen said handing over the water
"I'm scared Owen; I have seen things, things that you wouldn't believe if I told you, you would think I was mad"
"Try me"
"I seen my death, the hub in darkness and jack's hands covered in blood"
"Your safe here" Owen said hugging Gwen just like the time she nearly died.
Gwen's face went pale and she started to drift away again. Owen didn't know what do to he panicked. He kissed Gwen and she started to come around, the first thing that had come into Owen's head had worked.
"Did this have anything to do with Suzie and The darkness?"
"How do you know about the Darkness?"
"I was with Jack when Suzie told him the Darkness was out to get him. I have never seen Jack so scared. I don't see why though he can't die"
"I think the darkness is death because he has cheated it the darkness is out to get him"
"That would make a lot of sense captain jack cheats with death. Right your staying here" Owen went into the third drawer and pulled out some of Gwen's clothes. "You must have come running to me lots of times if I already have some of your clothes here" Owen chucked them on the bed leaving Gwen to get changed. Owen was worried about Gwen, Owen knew something that no one else did but he didn't want to know. Gwen was fast asleep when Owen went back into the bedroom. He didn't want to sleep he couldn't knowing what he did, he just couldn't. He went into the kitchen and got a glass of whiskey he sat in his leather chair and thought.
Gwen woke up in Owen's flat again. She got up slowly and walked into the living room. Owen was slumped on the leather chair asleep with a glass of whiskey on the table. Gwen was starving; she went into the kitchen and got a cereal bar. Owen's phone started to ring, Gwen went into the living room to answer it because she thought Owen was asleep but he answered it.
"Hello?" Owen said
"Hi, Owen I need to talk to you" the man said
"On a Saturday? Nothing can be that important"
"It is about Gwen"
"Ok I will be there in 5 minutes"
The man hung up.
"How was it?" Gwen asked
"The one the only Captain Harkness" Owen said sarcastically.
"What did he want?"
"It's about you" Owen said, he didn't want to leave Gwen here in case she fainted again.
The sound of the gates opening had woken Jack up. This had been the third time this week, the same old dreams haunting him. The same dream over and over in his head, it had been an hour since he had called Owen. He needed to see him it was important for the team. Where was the smartass? Jack started to walk down the stairs; he was surprised to see Owen put Gwen down on the sofa. She looked terrible, Jack lead Owen up the stairs to the boardroom. Owen never took his eyes of Gwen.
"What did you want to see me for?" Owen said but his eyes were still on Gwen.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"I'm looking after Gwen…"
"Not that! Owen I know what your like, a different woman every week. You can't do that to Gwen she can't be a one night stand. I don't want Gwen to find out the hard way what your like"
Owen took his eyes of Gwen. "I know I know but this is more important she came to my flat last night her stitches had been pulled open and she said she had seen torchwood in darkness, blood on your hands"
"I have seen it to"
"What? Is there some club I need to know about?"
"Owen, this is serious"
Owen looked over to the sofa. "Shit!" Owen ran down the stairs and into the vaults. Gwen was staring at Rhys through the metal door she was muttering something; Owen went up to Gwen and whispered something in her ear. Gwen turned to look at Owen.
"I have seen the shadow going across the world killing everything in its path"
"The darkness" Jack said
"Ooo so there is a club that I am meant to know about"
"She walks down a corridor all in white, the lights go out everything goes black and she hears a noise like a growl turns around and sees nothing faces the front and sees…"
"A shadow with glowing green eyes"
"Can I sit with him?" Gwen looked at Jack
"Well it's not the best of ideas I will move him into the other vault"
"Thanks Jack"
Jack went out of the room and stunned him. He slowly carried him into the cell. "He should wake up soon"
"I will be outside if you need anything" Owen said. Owen and Jack walked out of the room, Owen waited outside as promised and Jack went to watch the CCTV footage of Owen outside the door and Gwen talking to Rhys.
Ten minutes later Rhys woke up, he was surprised to see Gwen standing outside the vault.
"Gwen?"
"Rhys I'm so sorry"
"Gwen. What happened to you?"
"I'm sorry Rhys I can't be with you anymore; I can't have you hurt me or Owe… anyone else for that matter. I'm sorry Rhys" Gwen wanted to say Owen because that is the only other person she truly cared about. She did care about Rhys but she always felt more for Owen.
"Gwen please don't do this. Gwen I love you"
"I have to. I'm so sorry" Gwen had already made up her mind.
Gwen walked out of the room and fell apart in Owen's arms. Owen just hugged Gwen tight. He didn't know what else to do after all the medical and other training he had done this was the first time didn't know what to do, but luckily Gwen stopped crying and looked up at him.
"Owen? Can I come and stay with you? I'm sorry to ask but I have no where else to go"
"You are so stupid! You don't have to ask. You haven't done the last times; you just show up on my doorstep and beg me to do you"
"Shut up Owen" Gwen and Owen walked up the stairs. Jack called to them
"You two can go home now?"
"Will do" Owen grabbed his stuff and walked out of the hub. The gates closed and he waited for Gwen outside.
"Hello Sexy" Owen said as Gwen came out.
"Come on tiger take me to your lair" Gwen teased. Owen took Gwen off her feet and carried her into the car.
Owen opened the door to his flat, he was still carrying Gwen. Gwen gasped, Owen nearly dropped Gwen. Owens flat had been trashed the glass windows had been smashed and there was a body on the floor.
There's more coming soon:P
