A/N : Sorry for rambling authors notes but I have to thank you all for reviewing, I honestly didn't expect this story to last more than eight or ten chapters at the most. By the way, I have a reason for focusing slightly on Teresa Phillips, you'll find out why soon enough. The next few parts are way more exciting and full of ten/Rose fluff than this one, just hold on for now. I have my reasons and I was seriously considering giving you a preview of chapter 16 but it gave too much away!.
"Doctor!" Rose cried as soon as she saw him. The last few days everything bad seemed to be happening to her and she had no idea why. It wasn't as if she was useless, infact she was pretty damn good at fending for herself most of the time. She was just having a bad week, as you do. Then another sharp pain hit her and she was tempted to scream but she didn't want to give Teresa Phillips the satisfaction. Rose knew something was wrong a few hours ago when her head started to hurt, as if something was screaming at her. She'd felt hot and dizzy and wanted to be sick. Now she had sharp pains in her stomach. The Doctor quickly rushed over to her, scooped her in his arms and lifted her gently onto the bed. Teresa, who was uncomfortable with the scene, quickly walked out and locked the door.
"Rose, what's wrong?" he asked her worriedly.
"I don't feel too well" she whispered.
"If they've done something to you, I will kill them" The Doctor vowed angrily."I don't know whose behind all of this but I'm going to find out, one way or another". Rose curled herself up into a ball on the bed as another pain hit her in the stomach. The Doctor was horrified to see Rose in so much pain but there wasn't much he could do about it. Rose cried out again and he grabbed her hand. He had promised Jackie he'd always do his best to take care of her but now look what had happened.
"Somethings yelling at me" she gasped suddenly and slapped her hands to her forehead and shut her eyes tight. She winced as the screaming in her head got louder and the Doctor paled.
"Do you know what's happened to Mickey?" Rose asked suddenly, as she remembered her old friend ,who had also been caught in the transmat beam and found herself worried. Also she needed something to take her mind off what was happening. She needed some kind of reassurance but the look on the Doctor's face told her somehow that wasn't going to happen."Is he dead?" she asked quietly.
"Yes" he said softly. "It was Teresa, Rose, Teresa shot him. He's died trying to escape" Rose's eyes widened and she quickly sat up, ignoring how ill she felt. Mickey was dead? no she refused to believe it. Mickey was her oldest and bestest friend and he was one of the bravest guys she knew. How could he be dead? surely it was impossible?. But from the way the Doctor was looking at her, she knew it was true. Rose tried to choke back tears but failed miserably and the Doctor, joined her on the bed before wrapping his arms around her and letting her cry into his chest."Mickey was so brave" she sobbed and he cradled her like her mother used to do when she was upset as a little girl.
Teresa felt more remorseful than ever. She didn't know what had caused her to feel so strongely about things this week but now she felt all sorts of things from remorse, to regret, to grief, to guilt and it hurt. Teresa didn't want to feel like this but she did. Not only that but now she even regretted getting involved with the daleks and stomping on inocent peoples lives to get her revenge and especially killing the boy, Mickey. All her life she'd only wanted one thing : revenge but she'd seeked it out on the wrong people, now they were paying the price for her screwed up life. She walked into her office and slammed the door. Her masters would be expecting to here from her soon and she was dreading it. Maybe it would just be easier telling the Doctor exactly who her masters were and exactly what she had helped them do.The experiment was sick, now she thought about it. Doing that to a young girl, made her feel ill. She had done countless bad things in her life and this was top of the list as possibly the worst thing she'd ever got herself involved in. All because her mother hadn't wanted to love her. Teresa was old and bitter and fed up of everything. She sat at her desk and broke down into tears. When she was a little girl she'd always imagined being a famous singer or actress to win her mothers affection, just like her beautiful, elegant, younger sister Everlyn. But then when she'd got older all she could think of was rebelling against her mother. Nothing she did ever did, made her mother want to love her and that's what had driven her to joining her masters. No, for they weren't going to be her masters for much longer so she was going to stop calling them that and call them what they really are. Daleks. And now she vowed to herself to undo what she'd helped happen.
Reinette woke up in a small cave of a prison. She groaned, now she was stuck in here she'd never be able to help the Doctor and Rose from whatever was going to happen to them. But she picked herself up off the ground and walked herself over to the cave door. She was a thrity odd female and wasn't very strong but she was going to give it her best shot anyway so she walked back and throw herself at the wall only to fall backwards onto her bum. Okay so maybe that wasn't the best approach...she brushed herself down and walked back over to the door.She used all the strength within her to roll the door open and to her suprise it budged a bit. She easily managed to slide it the rest of the way down and ran out of there. She ran as fast as she could and prayed nobody would see her but it was too late. Infront of her stood a dark haired woman who held a gun pointed straight at her.
"Who are you" she said coldly.
"Reinette"
"Do you work for them, those people at the building?" Reinette didn't know what would be the right answear to do that so she guessed, since she was a rubbish liar, she'd have to take a chance and tell her the truth which would probably be a huge mistake.
"No". To Reinettes relief, the woman put the gun back in her pockets.
"I'm Teresa Phillips, I'm in charge of the entire facality but I'm putting an end to what they're doing, right now" she explained after Reinette looked at her confused. "I'm guessing they're your friends in there, am I right?" Reinette nodded."I'm sorry to say but I've been helping them and helped them...do the experiment on your friends..." Teresa looked at the floor as they walked.
"Why've you changed your mind all of a sudden?" Reinette asked suspicious.
"Because something happened that made me rethink my whole life and the point of it all. I didn't know guilt or remorse until I met your friend, the Doctor" Teresa answeared her, sounding sad."Look I can't changed what's already happened to your friend but I can help them escape and take down the daleks" Reinette's ears pricked up as soon as the woman said daleks. She remembered when she'd first met the Doctor and he'd looked into her mind, she'd seen into his too and seen these monsters that don't feel anything. They were called daleks. Teresa was suprised to see Reinette's eyes widen in horror.
"You've heard of them?"
"Sort of" she replied and they carried on walking for another half an hour until they finally found themselves back at the big old building that held Reinette's friends. She just prayed she wasn't too late.
