Author's Notes: I'm back again! And I think at the minute I'm Robin…

Earlier in a Text Convo. With Jenny Plaskitt

Me: Well We Could Leave Them In The Crush Hall If You Want To? xXx

Jenny: They Won't Be Safe There! How About Mr Staff's Room? X-luvya-x

Me: Good Thinking Batman!

Jenny: No Problem Robin! X-luvya-x

ANYway… that's slightly off topic… Hope this chapter is okay, just trying to fill in gaps before the bit Tez is waiting for…

I'm thinking of changing the title… I don't think it really fits what I have in mind… I NEED IDEAS THOUGH! Maybe something like Missing or Torture? Just seems to be part of the idea…

gaiafreedom21: The Masters? When did I mention that? I'm having a blonde day today so I don't remember what they are… :S

bad-wolf-bay: I do try to make them longer but I find it very hard sorry! Glad you like it though!

taby42: Haven't you just! I actually started singing earlier, 'we all love the doctor and rose!' LOL

Kate Granger-Potter: Thank you, thank you bows. I'll update ASAP!

Rose and the Doctor leant against the control panel of the TARDIS. They'd been hiding from Jackie all day, but they both knew they'd have to go back soon.

'As if we'd get married,' the Doctor scoffed.

'What do you mean?' Rose asked, shocked at his sudden outburst.

'I'd never marry you,' he plainly stated.

'Oh, so is that it? "You'd never marry me"? Am I not worthy of your Lordness?!' Rose shouted.

'What? That's not what I meant! You know it's not!' the Doctor argued.

'Oh, whatever. Why didn't you just go and find Sarah Jane or Reinette or someone? Why me? I'm nothing for you. Why bother?' Rose's voice cracked. She wasn't sure why she'd started up this argument, but his words had stung; whether he meant them or not, they were harsh.

'For God's sake Rose! Why are we fighting? I love you! Not any of the others!'

'Hard to believe…' Rose muttered.

'Rose… please… why are you acting so different?'

'Because I love you! You've been gone a while Doctor. I've changed.'

Rose turned on her heel and walked from the TARDIS. The Doctor felt his hearts tear in two. It was their first proper argument in a long time.

And boy did it freeze his hearts.

----

Rose pulled her coat tighter around her body, the cold wind getting colder by the second. Her feet carried her to unknown places while her head rolled in thoughts of her argument. That was two hours ago. Now she just sat on the kerb, head in hands, eyes staring, no real thoughts being thought, no real words being said.

Rose let out a sigh, and then a suppressed scream. Someone had their hand over her mouth. She was pulled backwards viciously, and her captivator breathed into her ear;

'Scream and I will kill you. Keep quiet and I'll let you live.'

----

Right. He'd given her enough time to think things over, now he was going to find her. The Doctor raised himself from his seat and made his way to Rose's house.

'Where is she?' he asked rudely when Jackie answered the door.

'She's not here,' Jackie answered, her eyes narrowing when the Doctor looked shocked. 'Have you lost her?' she asked furiously.

'We had a little argument. And she ran off. I thought she came back here. So yes, I have lost her. Help me find her.'

Jackie didn't have time to protest as the Doctor pulled her outside and off toward the town centre.

After three hours of non-successful searching, the Doctor gave up. He slumped to the floor and allowed a tear to slip down his face.

'I'm sorry Jackie. I took her away from you again,' he said.

Jackie didn't have an answer. She just looked around the street. Something caught her attention on the floor. An unknown force compelled Jackie to pick up the odd item.

Rose's charm bracelet.
