Merry Christmas everybody! What did you think of Doctor Who tonight? Don't worry, I'm avoiding spoilers for those who didn't/couldn't see it. Oh, and if you were wondering what I was referencing in the last chapter, it was Night Vale. The name of the planet was Night Vale backwards, the sky was purple, and the people had a third eye.
This one's on Run by Sick Puppies, as requested by AFireflyInSerenity, and it will be done in two parts, 'cause the song gave me two different ideas. The first half of the song gave me this idea, and the second half gave me the other. Part 2's a bit longer.
"Run, Rose!" The Doctor yelled up to her. Rose cowered next to Mickey, watching as the shop dummies—what had he called them? Autons?—pulled the Doctor towards the pit holding the Nestene Consciousness.
"It's the end of the world…" she whispered to herself. This was it. This was how her measly existence was going to end. As she realized this, the world seemed to slow down around her.
She was going to die. She was going to die in a tunnel underground at the hands of an alien. She was going to die, and she'd done absolutely nothing with her life. The more she thought about it, the angrier Rose got.
She was nineteen years old, and she had done precisely dick with her life. She had no A-levels, the best job she'd ever had was at a shop, and she was so deep in debt thanks to that ass-hole Jimmy, that she would be lucky to ever get out.
But now that didn't matter, because she was going to die.
Rose stared at the Doctor, her eyebrows drawing down. She'd known this man for all of what; two days? If even? And already her life had changed so much. She hadn't even realized how miserable she was until he pointed out how simple her life was. And God, was she miserable.
Rose stood, and realized barely five seconds has passed since the Doctor had called to her. Like hell was she going to die before she'd ever even done anything with her life. She was going to rescue the Doctor, stop that bubbling pit of an alien, and she was going to run.
Thanks to everyone who followed, favorited, and reviewed! And Merry Christmas!
Until next time!
