Okay, here's our next chapter, it's VERY long and joint with both of us :D
Enjoy
Xx
I was ordered like a child to sit on the sofa of Torchwood...This parallel Torchwood, it looks exactly the same though, not one thing out of place, except from the fact that Tosh and Owen weren't here. Gwen had brought me up the remains of some pizza which was cold and Ianto bought me a hot-chocolate, Ianto said how much Carys liked his hot-chocolates.
Guess were not that different then... are we...? Well except from the fact that she's dead and I'm alive. I wanted to help...Jack was being very off with me though, The sofa's back is to the medical bay so he ordered me to sit and stay like some dog...I weren't a dog...
They're not letting me help out either...Gwen and Ianto trust me but Jack on the other hand...He keeps giving me that look, the look he gives to aliens, the look of 'I'm locking you in the cells...the cells of Torchwood where nobody can find you...'
Jack, Gwen and Ianto are in the medical bay now, trying everything to revive Carys and I'm sat here watching a stone cold pizza freeze and the cream sink to the bottom of my hot-chocolate...
I leapt off the sofa, I weren't taking a 'no you're not helping' for an answer any longer. I stopped at the banister of the medical bay, just out of sight from Jack. They all seemed busy in their work. Ianto on the phone, Gwen sat holding Carys' lifeless hand and Jack mixing liquids together like some kind of mad scientist.
I watched as Ianto began to panic. "Bloody Damn...!" Ianto growled.
"What?" Gwen asked.
"Her bloody phone is switched off!" answered, fiddling with his phone.
"Well...Have you tried her house phone...?"
"Yes" Ianto sighed.
"Well...What about U.N.I.T...I bet you haven't tried them yet...!" Gwen suggested in a 'come on Ianto don't be thick' sort of way.
"No..." Ianto sighed. "Of COURSE I have...No because I wouldn't think of U.N.I.T!"
"Okay...Well then...There's nothing we can do..." I heard Gwen say...
"Have you tried emailing her?" I spoke confidently...
The three spun their heads and looked at me...I felt like crawling away and hiding...Even Britain's Got Talent tour wasn't as scary as these three looking at me...!
I thought I told you to stay where I put you?" Jack said, talking to me as if he was my dad...
"Yeah well...I'm not some dog you can order around, and I'm not just sitting and waiting." I replied arrogantly. "That is NOT how I get through things like this!"
"Well in this Torchwood...I am the boss and you do what I tell you to do!"
"I Know, I understand but I want to help you!" I said loudly.
"Look...The only reason you are not locked up in that Cell and is getting in my way is because Carys said you could be trusted." Jack said harshly.
"Yeah and Carys took a bullet for me, which actually something I thought Carys would never do...I, want to help bring her back...I just...I want...Just let me help...Please..."I begged
"Jack...I've just gotten into contact with her, she said she can't get here and that she's stuck in the centre of Dubai and U.N.I.T won't let her come back... " Ianto interrupted.
"How'd you get in touch...?" Gwen asked she hadn't let go of Carys' hand yet.
"Email..." Ianto glanced at me slightly...A smile began to twitch upon my face...I was dying to say I told you so...But this wasn't the right time, Carys is my sister in some Wibbly Wobbly Time-y Wime-y way...And I have this sort of gut instinct that it's me that should be saving her...
"So Can I help...?" I muttered, I think Gwen was the only one that heard me...
"Jack, let her help" Gwen said in a fed-up way.
"And since WHEN did I take orders from you Gwen...When?" Jack argued.
"Okay, you're upset...We all are, but don't you understand...Hating somebody that you don't know isn't going to help...She might be able to bring her back..." Gwen said sharply.
Ianto Interrupted. "OH FOR GOD'S SAKE!" He shouted. "Just let the girl help Jack!"
Jack raised both his hands to his hips and looked me up and down. "Fine, and I still want some answers from you Miley, you've not said anything."
"Like somebody else I know..."I muttered under my breath.
"It was only Carys that believed everything you said...Even if your DNA assumes you're identical to Carys...That was only one test!" Jack spat the words out at me...Each one of them felt like he was punching me in the stomach...
"If you want to be of some help...Pass me that blue liquid...Start mixing the green and purple ones together, add two drops of the clear one and 6 drops of the antidote beside it..." Jack spoke really fast as if I would not understand anything but I did...
"Right...Okay...!" I looked at the lifeless Carys on the medical bed, she looked so serene...
Two thirty AM...That was the time...Jack hadn't looked at me for...Three hours fifty one minutes and eight point two seconds...I borrowed Ianto's stopwatch...Ianto from my world anyway, I had it in my handbag...I don't know why...
"Gwen I said Blue...Not red!" Jack shouted throwing a bag full of red liquid at me making sure I'd catch it...I dropped one before...Jack went mad at me...
"Right, Sorry...!" Gwen said, she had managed to let go of Carys and was now helping me mix some liquids.
"Jack...I need the keys to the SUV!" Ianto said.
"Well you're not going to get them...!" Jack spat out at Ianto. He'd been in a foul mood...It was just about getting on everybody's nerves but they were just ignoring it...
I couldn't take this any longer and I think Gwen picked up on my feelings.
"Okay...You'd better call it a night Gwen" Ianto said softly, not taking any notice of Jack. "You as well Carys, you're better off going to your room now."
"No." I said, cutting the end of Ianto's words off. "I'm not staying here with him. I need to get away from him before I do something I honestly will regret!" I pointed at Jack as I saw the anger rise up within him.
"I'll take her back with me. I have some spare pyjamas and stuff. She'll be okay for a night or two." Gwen said softly.
"What about Rhys?" Jack said sharply. "Don't want your boyfriend getting all upset now do we...?" He said in a patronizing way.
"Okay I'll see you later Ianto!" Gwen said, deliberately ignoring Jack.
"Be Ianto." I said, smiling softly. He waved us off as I and Gwen grabbed our coats and left the hub.
"I BLOODY hate that man!" Gwen squealed in a stressed out way.
I felt tears pricking my eyes as I thought about how many people Carys had me meeting...And if we don't get her back...I'm going to have to tell them all she's dead...
"I mean...Ugh, he's so patronizing!" She said. We walked fast-paced across the plass and through the streets. I stayed silent, sniffling a few times.
Gwen unlocked her flat door, as she opened the door I immediately recognised the smell of Rhys' cooking, he liked to do his chillies.
We walked in. I followed Gwen even though I knew my way around the flat...she didn't know me though so I was better off staying quiet.
"I'm in the kitchen lovely!" I heard a familiar male voice say.
Gwen's tears got the better of her. She ran into the kitchen and hugged Rhys.
I'm not sure if they were married, not all parallel universes are parallel...
"Gwen...I thought Carys was staying with us tonight..." Rhys said. I stayed behind the wall of the kitchen so Rhys couldn't see me.
"No..." Gwen sobbed.... "She..." Gwen stopped.
I felt the tears overtake me again. I slid down the wall and sat on the floor, silently sniffling.
"We went to chase down some rift activity today, down in Slough, Carys and Miley came with us...The guy who killed Tosh..." Gwen sobbed some more.
"Gray...But you said Gray was in the morgue, you said he was dead...Who's Miley...What's going on Gwen?" Rhys began to get more and more alarmed.
"Miley came through the rift...I don't know how, I don't know why but she's here in Cardiff..." Gwen said. I wiped away my tears and walked into the kitchen.
"Carys jumped a bullet to save me..." I stuttered.
"What so Carys jumped a bullet for someone she doesn't know...?" Rhys said angrily.
I nodded and watched as Gwen looked down. "She died Rhys...But Jack and Ianto are trying to bring her back...!"
"And what...Why isn't Miley in a cell...why isn't she in the safe house...what if she's like that Emma?"
"She's...Carys' sister..." Gwen said.
"And why have I never heard of Miley, or Carys having a sister...Miley's not Rose's child then...Because I know my own cousin well...Knew my own cousin well...Rose didn't have any more kids!"
"Anymore kids in this world and knew about them..." Gwen stuttered, "Miley is from a parallel universe..."
"What and now you're going to tell me she won Brittan's Got Talent..." Rhys said, laughing unbelievably.
"Actually..." Gwen paused. A smile began to twitch upon her face.
"Take it she's staying here tonight then...?" Rhys said calmly. Obviously he was taking in everything about Carys.
Gwen wiped away her tears and took a deep breath in. "Anyway...What are you doing up so late...?"
"It's new-girl Lauren's birthday at the office tomorrow, they wanted me to cook up some chilly." Rhys smiled and held up his wooden spoon.
"Ooh, well, I'll go and get the sofa bed sorted!" Gwen smiled and left me with Rhys.
"So...My cousin's daughter jumped a bullet for a sister she didn't even know...it's...new to me..."
"Well...at least your cousin is alive in a way in this world..." I said, looking at the floor.
"What do you mean?" Rhys asked, slightly on guard.
"We have the same mum and dad...Torchwood in my world practically buried my mum alive even though she was dead...And my dad...goes and disappears...to travel..."
"But..." Rhys looked at me as if I was crazy and walked off towards where he was making his chilly.
I left the kitchen to help Gwen. She had already made the bed though and was sorting out the curtains in the living room.
I slipped into a set of pyjamas Gwen gave me and sat on the bed where Gwen was sat
"So, Miley, I want to know more about you, your life, where you grew up, how you got here as well...?" Gwen asked softly.
"Well, really, I've almost grown up in a similar way to Carys although her life seemed a lot calmer than mine..." I laughed.
"You'd be surprised!"
"Well I grew up in a few places, the TARDIS, the hub, Grandma Jackie's..." I smiled. "Here...Ianto's, Owen and Toshiko's, although, they'll be sharing now, I was supposed to help move their stuff into their new flat...
Gwen paused before smiling softly. "Owen and Tosh...?" She stuck her tongue out through her gap in her teeth. "Sweet"
"Oh yeah, they where madly in love...!" I paused and giggled.
"I won Brittan's Got Talent on my Birthday, I was on tour, crazy fans chased me, I hid in a closet, Jack found me, he got me out, we walked down the corridor...next thing I knew...boom, I'm in the streets of Cardiff!"
I told her about my life with Jon and how he abused me, which I could never even come across to thinking about, but it's like...now I know Gray is dead I can let loose...
"OH...MY...GOD!" I looked towards the television. The UK Top 40 was on the music channels...I was Gob smacked!
"Why, what...?" Gwen asked, she turned it up a touch...I recognised the song immediately.
"Who's that...?" I pointed at the girl singing.
"That's...Miley Cyrus..."
"And the song...Is the climb..."
"Is there a Miley Cyrus in your world?" Gwen asked
"Nope...In my universe...I wrote the climb..." I said, smiling softly.
"What...You sing...?" Gwen smiled.
"Yeah...!" I bit my lip shyly.
"Cool!" Gwen smiled. She snuggled under the quilts and we talked some more about life in my world…
"Miley...Miley...Miley wake up!" Gwen woke me. She had a large smile across her face.
"What time is it...How long have I been asleep...?" I croaked.
"You fell asleep at four, its half four now!" Gwen smiled. "Jacks found something. He wants you to come into Torchwood now."
"Half an hour's sleep and we get called back to work. Oh the joys!" for a moment I forgot where I was, but I suppose I'll be here for a bit...I might as well start treating it as home...Gwen smiled when I spoke like that anyway.
"Just like the good old days!" Gwen joked in an old fashioned sort of voice. We were interrupted by a ringing of Gwen's mobile.
"Gwen Cooper." Gwen answered her phone.
"Torchwood" I heard a certain muffled, American voice say before hanging up.
"Don't bother getting changed, Ianto's picking us up." Gwen smiled. I love leaving places in my pyjamas.
I heard a knock at the door, a quiet knock. I knew that it would be Ianto...
"Miley, will you get that please." Gwen said, loud enough for me to hear, but not too loud to wake up Rhys.
"Kay'"
"Hello Ianto." I smiled as I greeted him and let the young Welshman in.
"Miley, we need to talk." Ianto said as he walked into Gwen's flat.
Gwen came out of her room, pulling her black silk dressing gown over her small shoulders.
"Hi Ianto..." Gwen smiled.
"I need a few words with Miley before we leave." Ianto smiled.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be in my room if you need me!" Gwen said, she winked at me and closed her door. I turned the television off and sat crossed legged on my bed as Ianto sat in front of me.
"You know how you said you'd help Carys anyway...?" Ianto asked as soft as possible.
I nodded as a reply.
"Carys has been dead too long, we have just done a scan, she has the teeniest bit of energy left within her to regenerate and we're going to bring her back, but...we need you and Jack to help, Jack will, and I know you will...Won't you...?"
"Of course...!" I smiled softly.
"Carys can't regenerate without your help, it will drain plenty of your energy but Jack will jump in just at the right time to save you, he knows what he's doing and he will save you." Ianto smiled but I couldn't help but think...Will he save me...?"
I nodded and smiled. "Okay, let's get to Torchwood then!" I smiled. "Better now than never!" I tied my laces on my lilac converse and followed as Gwen came out of her room and down the stairs to the SUV waiting outside in the morning mist.
I started to go really queasy as we walked down the corridor, my legs began to feel like jelly...The next thing I knew...The floor hit me...
"She's coming to."
"Good, we can get her linked up to Carys."
"Jack, stop being so arrogant, she's just collapsed, you have to let her come round!"
"We can't afford to waste any time...Ianto, wire her up please!"
"Done, I did it within the first signs of her heart rate rising, so that's done, we need to get you linked up later on. Gwen gets the singularity scalp." My eyes snapped open. I sat up and looked at Ianto.
"What...Do...You...Need...That...For...?" I said sharply glaring at Ianto.
"Thought that would wake you, worked every time with Carys!" Ianto laughed. I smiled before lying down again.
"So...when does this energy thing start...?"
"Right now..." Jack said sharply, he snapped his fingers shut and I felt a massive shock-like pain run throughout my body, it began to calm as I took deep breaths in.
"It could take days..." Jack said.
"Do you have to be such an arse about everything...?" Gwen and Ianto both said in unison.
Jack looked at them before blinking once and walking away, I wanted to scream at him to remember me...but it wouldn't work...
I began to feel the energy slowly draining out of my body. I felt so weak... I closed my eyes and began to dose off to sleep.
I watched as Miley began to breath slowly, You could see the energy leaving her...but nothing was helping Carys...I can't lose Carys now...She's risked death so many times...I just can't believe she's gone...
Miley and Carys were beginning to become great friends, and then Gray turned up...
The same Gray that killed my best friend...Miley got him though...She did what I was about to do...He's dead now...Thank God...Tosh will rest better now...
Carys wrote this song, unbelievably James Blunt sung it soon after she wrote it, I was a bit surprised...Carys was squealing to how much she was like a singer!
"Bloody girls...kill your ears when they squeal...!" I laughed to myself.
Jack and Gwen left the room, I paused before pulling a chair up to Carys, and I'm not sure how really but we managed to fit in another medical bed...Anyway...
I stoked Carys' head and hand.
"People say it's comforting to speak to a loved relative...and hopefully you won't hear some of the things I will say..." I smiled as remembered that little four-year-old Carys pretending to be asleep.
"It's stupid really...but I just need you...You're always listening to me...And it should be me listening to you!" "I never gave you a chance...I was always too busy...Too busy to listen to his own niece..." I sighed...
"Well, I just...Just...Come back Carys...Please..." I said softly...I couldn't lose Carys now...she was supposed to be coming to David's party on Friday. We were going to get him a present for his birthday...
What will they think...Mica and David...My nephews...What about Rhiannon. She will be devastated...Rhiannon Davies is my sister, David and Mica is my nephews.
"You'll be missing David's party at this rate...He couldn't wait to see you!" I looked at her...Waiting for an answer...I'm so daft!
"What about Patryk's birthday, he had something planned for you!" I said.
"Well...I suppose Patience will be our only medicine for now..." I stood up and kissed her on the forehead.
"We're helping you Carys...Where helping you..." I said before walking off.
I ran up towards Jacks office, he was laying on the love seat with his back to me. I don't think he noticed me anyway.
I coughed and he turned over, his cheeks pale and his eyes, bloodshot.
"What do you want Ianto...?" Jack said in a fed up voice.
"What do you want Ianto...?" Jack said in a fed-up sigh.
"Remember when Carys wrote Carry You Home and James Blunt sung it soon after...?" Ianto smiled. Jack nodded and sat up.
"She couldn't stop squealing...I remember"
"Then she saw her dad...She was so excited about telling him the song she wrote...That song was beautiful, She was going to sing it at David's party..."Ianto said, he looked at the floor.
Jack watched as two or three tears dropped from his beautiful Welshman's head onto the floor. He stood up and walked up to him.
"And I...I just...What if it doesn't work Jack...What if it kills Miley as well...?" Ianto sniffed. Jack smiled softly and raised a hand to Ianto's cheek.
"She will get better..." Jack whispered into Ianto's ear, Ianto sniffled and looked into Jack's deep blue eyes.
Ianto was about to speak but was shushed by a kiss off Jack.
"Jack...Ianto...!" Gwen shouted up the steps, her voice stern. Jack and Ianto came out of Jack's office, Ianto sorting out his hair. Jack just has his hands in his pockets.
"It's starting..." Gwen said before leading Ianto and Jack down the hall to the medical bay. Miley's hearts rate had increased, and every time she exhaled there was regeneration energy flowing from Miley and into Carys...
Ianto ran over to his computer, tapping it fast.
"Ianto what are you doing?" Jack asked and watched as Ianto typed fast.
"connecting Carys' heart monitor to my phone... and I'll know when something happens, at the minute there's no heart rate but there will be one...Just you watch!" Ianto said. He held his mobile phone up to the monitor as he watched the programme send.
"Okay..." Gwen looked. Ianto had an eager face on him.
Jack and Gwen stood at the top of the medical bay steps, Ianto was sat next to Carys, he was staring at her...
"Three days..." Ianto said, taking Jack and Gwen by surprise... "Three days...and there's been no change..."
"Ianto...I think you should go home... Go and rest..." Jack said softly. Ianto shook his head.
"No." Ianto answered.
"Ianto...Go home...That's an order, we'll stay with Miley and Carys..." Jack said in his 'boss' voice.
Ianto nodded, he was too upset to argue...
Ianto walked across the plass, he jumped into the SUV and turned on the ignition...
Ianto stopped. He slowly climbed out of the SUV and walked across the road, down the streets and across the grass. He stopped outside of a door that had a banner pinned across it saying birthday boy. Before he could knock the door flew open.
"UNCLE IANTO!" The small boy shouted it was David, "Where's Carys...?" He asked. Ianto tried not to get upset.
Rhiannon stopped at the door placing a hand on David's shoulder. "He didn't move from that windowsill once until you came!" Rhiannon smiled. "Where's our Carys then...?"Rhiannon squeezed David's shoulder and smiled at Ianto, although, her smile soon dropped as she saw Ianto's eyes well up. She whispered into David's ear, telling him to go and play with daddy.
"Ianto...what's wrong...?" Rhiannon took Ianto by the shoulder and hugged him tight. "What's happened...Where's Carys...?" She asked, getting a bit panicked.
"She's...A few days ago...Some man shot her...She's in a coma Rhiannon...She's been in a coma for days..."Ianto cried.
Rhiannon shook her head. "You're joking, where did he shoot her...?" Rhiannon asked.
"The stomach, if it wasn't for Miley...she would be dead..." Ianto said...not realising.
"Who's Miley...?" Rhiannon asked. She was too choked up to say anything more.
"Miley's her friend...somehow she's saving Carys right now...I can't lose her now Rhiannon..."Rhiannon nodded and wiped a tear from Ianto's face.
"Come on love they're starting pass the parcel know...."Johnny tailed off his sentence as he saw Rhiannon and Ianto.
"Ianto...Hello..."Johnny said softly, he knew there was bad news.
"Hi..."Ianto replied quietly. Rhiannon invited Ianto into the kitchen. They sat and talked for a while, Ianto told Johnny about Carys.
There was a knock at the door. Johnny answered it.
"Where's Ianto..." The boy shouted
"I'm sorry but who are you, you weren't invited...Or are you picking up a child...?" Johnny said.
"I'm here to speak to Ianto...NOW!" The boy shouted, he barged past Johnny and ran towards the living room. David looked at the boy and recognised him straight away. The boy passed David a present and a card before storming off into the kitchen.
"IANTO...!" The boy shouted. His face was red with anger and tears where running down his cheeks...
"Patryk...!" Rhiannon shouted. Patryk swung a punch at Ianto. Rhiannon caught his hand and held the angry teenager back.
"YOU SAID YOU'D LOOK AFTER HER...YOU SAID YOU'D KEEP HER SAFE...!" He screamed, trying to get Rhiannon off him.
"And I failed...Don't you think I know that...?" Ianto said quietly. Johnny left the kitchen and turned the music up in the living room where the children were playing.
"Now she's fighting for her life with someone that's supposed to be her sister...!" Patryk calmed himself but his tears wouldn't stop.
"It's not like I can help her...I'm doing everything I can...!"
"How did she do it...Why did you let her...?" Patryk said. He sat heavily in a chair.
"He was going to shoot Miley...Then me...Carys went to grab the gun...two pumps to the stomach...That's all it took...Miley grabbed the gun...She shot him...But Miley...she wouldn't hold on...Now Miley's saving her..."
"You sound like you're saying Carys had a chance to survive..." Patryk looked at Ianto as if he was crazy.
"Who's saying she didn't have a chance..." Ianto said before wiping a tear from his cheek.
"Mummy...?" David shouted from the living room.
"Coming now sweet..." Rhiannon crept out of the kitchen and into the living room.
"She did have a chance..." Ianto said quickly.
"What do you mean...?" Patryk said anxiously...He had an Idea to what he meant...but surely she wasn't...
"She's...She's not fully human Patryk...She wanted to tell you...but Carys being Carys, she wasn't strong enough she's scared of losing you..." Ianto went silent.
"S...So...Carys chose to die...?" Patryk asked.
"Carys was scared of regenerating...because her dad regenerates and he changes...that's what she learnt. Well she said to me a few years ago. Understand why she doesn't want to regenerate, she doesn't want to change...for nobody to know who she is...I did some research the other night and found out that for some twisted reason...Carys will not change..." Ianto said...
"But because she was dead she didn't have enough energy to regenerate, Miley and Jack are helping Carys now...But...it will take time and Jack can't help until he knows when the time is right...But it will take time..."Ianto said.
"What do I tell her friends...Claire and Elizabeth especially...?"Patryk asked.
"You tell them what you like...Don't lie...but you'll be called crazy..." Ianto looked at Patryk.
Ianto was disturbed by a bleeping of his mobile. It was a text, off Jack. It read:
Come back to Torchwood,
Bring Patryk with you
Gwen x
Ianto closed his phone and looked at Patryk.
"We need to get to Torchwood..." Ianto said, beckoned Patryk to follow.
"Where are you going?" Rhiannon asked.
"Jack's asked to see me. I'll keep you updated on Carys though." Ianto said. He hugged Rhiannon before unlocking the SUV and getting in.
"Take it you saw her in the hub then...in the medical bay?" Ianto asked, looking at Patryk, he was flicking through the pictures of him and Carys on his cell.
"Yeah, I went through the tourist room...It hurt me so much...Gwen saw me...She couldn't stop me though, I went up to her." Patryk looked at Ianto. "She doesn't stop going on about you, you know..."
"Really...?" Ianto smiled.
"Yeah, she said to me...The night you bought Miley back that you where so nice with Miley, and the way you had a go at Jack." Patryk didn't know if he should smile or not. "She said that you where a better dad than him...She said you're always treating her like your own, Carys loved that..." Patryk smiled a little.
"Wow..." Ianto said.
"She slipped up once and called you Dad, she didn't know where to put her face because Gwen was there...She did it when she stayed at Owen's we where sat over the balcony and was talking about everything, she was thinking about you and said Dad, Owen was there he was pretty much surprised." Patryk laughed.
"Gosh...She's never spoken to me about that..." Ianto smiled as he pulled into the car park, Gwen was stood waiting for Ianto.
"Hello Gwen..." Ianto said, smiling at Gwen, Gwen just nodded. "How is she...?" Ianto asked.
"No change..." Gwen replied. she had a break in her voice. "There are HUGE amounts of energy going into her...but there's no record of change..."
"Jacks also there, he's mentally connected to the girls. He can feel the change in Miley but not Carys. I've just come for air..." Gwen pulled her black dressing gown over her shoulders, she hadn't changed since she got to Torchwood...She hadn't even been home to Rhys for days...
Patryk's phone vibrated, his dad was on the other end. "I need to go..." Patryk smiled, he waved at Gwen and Ianto before running off.
Gwen smiled at Ianto. "Guess it's just us two then..." Gwen smiled.
"Yep..." Ianto said, whilst popping the 'P'
Gwen linked Ianto as they walked into the hub. "She called me dad..." Ianto said softly, he'd been waiting to say that for ages now...
"Yeah...She didn't know how to take it...How you'd take it..." Gwen sighed. "Carys just had enough of waiting for her dad to come swanning back into her life she wanted to feel like she had a dad, something she said she didn't feel..." Gwen paused. "She still loves her dad...She misses him...She just seems to think about you a lot..."
Two thirty A.M.
Ianto woke to a vibrating and a bleeping noise. He shot up immediately, grabbing hold of the mobile.
"YES!" Ianto shouted, he quickly pulled on his suit and raced out of the house. He jumped into the SUV and sped off down the street.
Gwen woke, startled with the loud beeping noises coming from the hearts rate monitor. She squealed and jumped up from her computer, running over to the machine and watched as the heart rate on Carys. Carys was still very pale but her heart rate was bleeping!
The cog door opened, the signals went off. Gwen zoomed over straight away, jumping on Ianto like a child.
"SHE'S OKAY IANTO, SHE'S ALIVE!" Gwen squealed as Ianto grinned as wide as he could. He laughed as he ran over to where Miley and Carys were laying. Jack was sat in between them with his eyes closed, he was concentrating.
Ianto watched as Carys' heart rates jumped up and down. He smiled brightly and pulled a chair up. "It's starting...!" He smiled at Gwen who sat beside Miley and watched.
"Ianto, we need to get Miley off...NOW!" Gwen ran to Ianto and woke him. "IANTO... I need your help...Get Jack up, Miley's hearts are fading...we need to get her off now!" Gwen shouted. Ianto stood up and helped unhook Miley from Carys...There was no change.
"She's still connected to Carys!" Ianto said. He ran to Jack as Gwen began to tap Miley's cheeks.
"Jack...!" Ianto said as Jack was bought out of his concentration. "Jack...we need you know...now's the time...!"
"No...Not yet!" Jack said. He closed his eyes again.
'Miley...?" Jack walked gently across the blackness towards Miley, she was sat on the floor in the corner, she was shaking and cold, she also looked upset and distressed. Jack knelt down to Miley and examined her face, she had tears rolling down her cheeks.
"He's been here ever since I've fallen asleep in the hub...Days I guess...constantly staring at me...He has me again...in the palms of his hands...Jack I can't come back...He won't let me...If I do come back...Carys is more at risk...He kept looking at Carys... He came towards us...I wouldn't let him take a step closer...He pushed me, tried to get past, he's hurt me again..." Miley whispered into Jack's ear, she held up an arm and showed Jack the cuts and bruises on her arms.
Anger rose within Jack, he stood up and faced Jon, but it was as if Jon couldn't see Jack...He looked straight through Jack at Carys.
"He won't move anymore...If I stay still he won't move, he'll just stare at me...I'm too weak to move anyway...He's waiting for me to die...So he can get to her...I don't want to die Jack...!"Carys cried softly. Jack spun round and took Miley by the arms.
"And you think I'll let you die...There's been too much death...You need to get out of here...Stand up!" Jack ordered. Miley obeyed...Now she wished she didn't.
Before Jack could turn round, the man had hold of Miley by the hair. He hit her multiple times on her back before pushing her to the floor. Jack shot up and ran over to Miley. He squared up to the man, but again he just looked straight through him at Carys.
"The Big Bad Wolf will huff and puff and blow your life down..." The man spoke as he finally looked at Jack. He walked up to Miley who was managing to stand up. The man kicked Miley. She hit the floor again...
Jack ran over to the man. "DO YOU FEEL LIKE A MAN WHEN YOU PUSH HER AROUND...DO YOU FEEL BETTER NOW...WHEN SHE FALLS TO THE GROUND...?" Jack screamed...his anger had taken over him He pulled out his revolver and pushed it as hard as he could against the man's head.
"JACK!" Miley screamed. She crawled across the floor to where Carys was laying. Jack punched the man and ran over to Miley and Carys. He pulled two fingers up to each side of Carys head.
"Miley...I want you to let go of your thoughts...Imagine you can't see..."
"Jon...?" Miley said shakily.
"Imagine you can't see Jon and let go of Carys...I've got you don't worry..." Jack said, he closed his eyes tight and concentrated on Carys and Miley.
Miley let out a breath and slowly lay on the floor. Jack slowly connected himself with both of the girls...He could see all of Miley's past...everything from Jon...Carys and Miley disappeared from in front of him, Jon had started shouting no repeatedly when Jack stood up and smiled.
"You...WHAT'VE YOU DONE...?" Jon leapt at Jack and tried to strangle him.
"Hey Jon..." Jack said. He held his revolver up at Jon. "Go to hell...!" Jack said, he shot Jon in the head and walked off...
"WHOA!" Ianto shouted as both girls woke up, coughing and spluttering, Gwen stood in front of Miley and Ianto with Carys.
"Hello..." Ianto said softly to Carys who was staring at Ianto.
"IANTO...!" Carys threw her arms around him tightly. She began to sob. "Promise me..." Carys paused. "Promise you will never let go of me...ever again...!" Carys said softly. Ianto raised a hand to Carys' warm cheek. "I promise..." Ianto sniffled and smiled, pulling Carys into a hug again. Miley laughed gratefully. Ianto walked over to Miley.
"And you...Thank-you so much!" Ianto said, he pulled Miley into a hug and smiled.
"But...Jack...!" Miley said... "He was left with Jon..." She pointed at Jack, who was empty inside. "Just a shell..." Miley said. She looked at Carys before everyone was disturbed by a very large gasping sounds and a scream. "Or maybe not..."
Carys laughed gently. Jack opened his eyes and saw the two girls, they where both wide awake.
"And if it wasn't for Jack...Jon would have had me...or Carys..." Miley shuddered off the thought and looked at Jack.
"It's over now..." Jack said. Miley smiled softly as Ianto helped the girls off their beds.
"Group hug...!" Gwen said cheerfully as everybody crowded round Jack...
You'd think there'd be a 'we all lived happily ever after'...But what I and Carys figured three week after the incident...
So...What do you think...?
