Chapter 13

The Doctor sighed as he took a blood sample from Rose. House watched on, "She's going to die. She has a temperature, no human can survive that, unless…."

"Unless what?"

"Give her an ice bath. Lower her temperature. Or are you afraid that's going to kill her as well?"

The Doctor laid a hand on her forehead, Rose tossed and turned deliriously, "Come on Rose…fight it." He bit his lip, he was afraid. He had promised Jackie that he would keep Rose safe and he was losing her. He had no plan to save her. Not a real plan. He had some random ideas, but that was it.

The Doctor sighed, "An ice bath as you put it, is not going to help her, House. There's no cure for this. Her body is treating it as if it's an infection. And in a way it is. Xylomian cells are aggressive little bastards. They go after human cells; nothing in her body can fight…."

Suddenly the Doctor's eyes lit up. "House, you're a genius…."

House frowned, "I didn't say anything…."

The Doctor grinned,"Nah… but you got me thinking. Make yourself useful. Get all the things needed for a blood transfusion. I am going to give Rose some of my blood."

"And Wilson says I have complexes; what good is your blood going to do?"

"Not a lot but it might buy her some time. Gallifreyian blood is extremely resilient to all sorts of infections. It might give Rose some strength to fight off the alien cells in her body."

House looked thoughtful, "And your idea is to introduce more alien material to her blood stream. Oooh gutsy, brash, and insane. I like it."

The Doctor grinned, "So do I."

"Now run along….House, oh and get me one of your doctors to help me. Either that charming young Allison Cameron or that rather brilliant Robert Chase, I don't really care, just bring one of them here."

House raised an eyebrow, "What about Foreman?"

The Doctor smirked, "Do you honestly think that Foreman would let me transfuse my blood into Rose?"

"No."

The Doctor grinned, "Besides, I like Cameron and Chase more. They are much more open minded than Foreman is. Now be a good doctor and go and get what I need."

House grumbled lightly and left Rose's bedroom.

The Doctor planted a kiss on Rose's feverish forehead.

Meanwhile Rose's vision was fogged and blurry, filled with monstrous visions. She thrashed violently. Her mind filled with terrible images. She saw Daleks each wanting to kill her along with a werewolf with those Daleks who were chasing after her and the Doctor. Turning a corner with the Doctor, she found herself trying to outrun plague victims from New Earth. She let out a scream…..

The Doctor's hair stood on end as Rose screamed in her bedroom. "Rose, focus on my voice. Focus on me. Whatever you're seeing, it's NOT real. Do you hear me it's NOT real."

Rose however did not hear anything, her mind was still drifting. The Daleks first shot the Doctor. Then the werewolf tore the Doctor limb from limb. And the Plague victims touched the Doctor and his bones collapsed into dust. She began to sob terribly and then shuddered as the Daleks, werewolf, and plague victims suddenly advanced upon her. Rose screamed and then her body lay prone.

The Doctor frowned and muttered, "Come on House. Don't do this to me…."

House held the supplies as he brought with him Cameron and Chase back to the TARDIS.

Chase was excited, "So we are actually going to see Doctor Smith's spaceship. I can't believe this."

House grumbled, "Don't be so excited, you moron."

As they entered one of the clinic's many patient rooms. Chase frowned,"It's nothing but a blue box."

"I told you not to be excited."

Cameron snorted, "House, this is ridiculous. This is not a space ship."

House rolled his eyes, "This isn't my idea, believe me. It's that idiot Doctor's idea."

House opened the door of the TARDIS and stepped inside.

Cameron walked in first, "Oh my God…."

Chase's eyes went wide, "This is….is….incredible. Now do you believe me, House? Aliens really do exist."

House pushed his two doctors' forward, "Chase stop babbling like an idiot. You show how young and naïve you really are."

The three doctors wandered back towards Rose's bedroom.

As they entered the bedroom, the Doctor began to chastise House, "It's about time you returned. She's getting worse. Now don't just stand there, put my blood in her."

Cameron's and Chase's jaws dropped.

"You have got to be crazy, if you're an alien. Your blood could do more harm than good," Cameron said.

Chase nodded, "She could die from such a risky procedure."

The Doctor rolled his eyes, "Stop protesting and help House set up. I don't have time for your complaints."

The three doctors quickly put a rubber band around the Doctor's arm and told him to make a fist. They quickly rubbed a bit of alcohol on both the Doctor's and Rose's arms. They pricked the Doctor's arm and Rose's and slowly began to transfer the Doctor's blood into Rose.
