Fly is back!
I had heaps of spelling mistakes in my last chapter, thanks to those who pointed that out. I think I fixed all of them, but we'll see. Clare is spooky no? Well she isn't much, but you know. All will be revealed. Review if you want the next chapter, please and thank you.

Rose was shown to her room by the maid. A long grey dress was laid out on the bed, it looked like it was from the 1900s. The maid helped Rose change, keeping very quiet as she did so. As soon as she was changed, the maid left her. Rose went to the window and looked out at the gloomy ground beneath her. The clouds were heavy with rain in the sky, and the trees around the house had no leaves. Grass was no where in sight, only the orange dirt covered the ground. Rose was close to tears. She sat down on the window seat and stared out at the sky, hoping that the Doctor would find her soon.
OoO
"We do research" Bella blurted out. Clare gave her a worried glance.
"How do you know I'm the Doctor?" the Doctor asked. Bella bit her lip, and Clare stared at him, worried.
"Please don't get angry. We're only trying to help. We recognised you when you were sitting on the bench" Bella replied.
"The spaceship crashing into Big Ben sort of gave it away. The shop mannequins coming alive at Christmas as well. There was also the time where Clare was up on the roof, and it looked as if she was about to jump, that was pretty scary" She admitted.
"May I remind you, that you, Bella, are the one that was on the roof" Clare retorted.
"Yes, I know about all that I was there. But how do you know who I am?" The Doctor's sentences were finally coming back, and he wanted answers.
"You're on the internet, if you know where to look. We may be school girls, Doctor. But we're very clever school girls. We've seen pictures and stuff, and you're hair is unmistakable" Bella giggled slightly. Clare just stared past the Doctor's shoulder and out the window.
"Besides, if you're around, there's going to be something alien as well. If you're friend Rose has been taken away, it's very likely its going to be an alien that has" Bella grin was almost from ear to ear.
The Doctor pushed away from the table, and got up. He stalked outside, he wasn't in the mood for any of this. He didn't even know who these school girls were, and he was already trusting them with Rose's life. Plus they knew who he was, which sort of freaked him out slightly. They said he was on the internet, then how many other people around the world knew who he was? Did they know what he was? The glass door opened and closed behind him. He was under a big umbrella so the rain didn't get to him. Clare and Bella came and stood next to him.
"I just want to find Rose, and get out of here" was all he said. He was shocked at his own words. Usually he wants to see the universe, know everything about it, discover. But with a very slim chance of finding Rose, the only thing he wanted to do was get out of here, and crawl up into a ball in the TARDIS.
"We're going to help you" Clare uttered, "We'll start at Southern Cross Station, and go from there. We're going to help you whether you like it or not, we want to find Rose too" Clare sounded certain of herself. The Doctor couldn't say or do anything but admire her courage.
"So, to Southern Cross" She started walking down toward the road, where trams were going up and down parallel to the river. The Doctor was beginning to grow fond of Clare, simply because she was like him.
OoO
"Mistress, afternoon tea is being served in the sun room" the maid peered around Rose's door. Rose didn't turn her head or move. Tears were streaming down her face. The maid bustled in quietly, and took a seat next to Rose.
"I've been here for six months, Mistress, it's not all that bad. He should return you after a week if he doesn't…" the maid broke off and looked at her cupped hands on her lap. Rose flicked her head around and looked at the maid with wide eyes. Her tear stained cheeks glistening with water.
"If he doesn't what?" Rose asked straight forward. The maid looked up.
"Oh it's terrible. My Master, he isn't like other men. He feeds on white light, coming from poor young women's bodies. He says he can live through their memories. He's a memory feeder" the maid stuttered. Rose's eyes widened.
"Do… do you think he will?" Rose was about to start sobbing again.
"Only if he thinks you're memories are of any interest to him I guess. He took all mine, I can't remember when I was a child, or my mother or anything. I worked out that I wasn't his maid because of the other girls that came and then sent away. One of them was my sister" now both of the girls looked as if they were going to burst into tears. Rose's memories over the past year and half were brilliant, she wouldn't have been surprised if she was about to forgot the Doctor.
"Well… I promised you, we're going to get out of here. I have this friend, the Doctor, and he always comes and saves me, no matter what. He'll find us I promise, and this will all be over" Rose tried to make the words sound as real as possible, and believe in them as much as she wished she could. But the Doctor didn't know where she was, and she didn't know how he was going to find her.
OoO
"It's this one" Bella called to the Doctor and Clare, as she stood in the middle of a platform. A wavy roof situated itself over them.
"I think it's a wonder of the world" Clare muttered, when she noticed the Doctor looking up at it, "Or something like that, it's based on another design somewhere else in the world, but not on this scale". The Doctor nodded.
"This is the platform, it goes to Bendigo" she smiled, seemly happy that she had figured something out. Both Clare's and the Doctor's faces dropped.
"What?" asked Bella, her head tilting slightly to the side.
"That's at least ten platforms to search around, and he could have taken some other transport further away!" Clare moaned, hanging her head.
"But you said they were in the country, which, if memory serves me right, means that we've already knocked off five platforms" The Doctor lightened up.
"Plus we could always ask the ticker seller if they've seen Rose" Bella added. The three of the walked off to the ticket booth, and stood in a line behind two other people. After about ten minutes, it was finally their turn.
"Hello, how may I help you?" the blonde girl behind the glass window asked.
"Have you see a girl, blonde, big brown eyes, with a union jack t-shirt on, and she has a British accent?" The Doctor reeled off. The girl stared at him for a second, before looking down at her computer.
"Do you know when she might have made her ticket purchase?" the girl asked. The Doctor frowned. Trying to remember what time it had said on the Flinders Street station clock.
"I suppose it would have been after ten… ten thirty?" The Doctor guessed.
"Why do you need to find her?" asked the girl.
"She's a friend, and I think she might have been… abducted?" Clare stepped in.
"Do you know which line she might have bought her ticket for?" the girl asked. Tapping at her keyboard.
"Bendigo!" Bella almost shouted, and then looked down as if she hadn't done anything.
"The only tickets bought for the Bendigo line, between ten and ten thirty, was for Castlemaine. I think I remember there was a man, and a woman with your description" the girl muttered, as though she wasn't supposed to be saying anything.
"Thank you" Clare grinned, "Could we have two children, and an adult ticket, to Castlemaine?" Both Bella and the Doctor looked at her, as though she going insane.
"Why do we need tickets?" Bella asked her.
"Because we're going to go and get Rose" Clare hissed at them.
"That'll be twenty dollars and seventy cents, please" the girl behind the glass said. She turned to them, expecting the money. Both girls turned to the Doctor, expecting him to get the tickets.
"We got you a hot chocolate" Bella tried. The Doctor thought for a second, with three girls looking at him, he was begging to have a break down again. Usually he would just have Rose looking expectantly, or the hum of the TARDIS…
"Thank you for you're time, but we won't be needing the tickets" The Doctor smiled at the girl selling tickets, then put his hands on top of Clare and Bella's shoulders and steered them back out onto the pavement outside the station.
"What are we doing?" Bella asked, shifting from underneath his firm grip.
"We're going to see if the TARDIS, can do short trips" The Doctor grinned.
