Well here's the next chapter people and this time Jack features in it (well he was in the prologue but technically only someone clever would have figured that one out XD sorry!) sorry its short the next one will be longer i promise xxxx
Chapter 1
When Jack woke from his dream he was trembling all over. Sweat poured down his face in rivers and covered his bare chest. He closed his eyes and tried not to think about it… but how could he forget?
Easily it seemed because as soon as he started to think about it the dream began to fade and all that was left was a fuzzy memory of anger, pain and hatred. Jack smiled grimly; of course he wouldn't be able to remember. When a Time Lord wiped someone's memory they were effective, very effective. It seemed this was the result, a faint recollection of the past, nothing more.
"Jack, are you alright?" he sat up abruptly at the sound of Gwen's voice as she stood in the doorway to the area where Jack slept.
"Uh, yeah, sure…" he stammered then paused, "What are you doing here? It's 3 in the morning!"
"I guess I was worried about you." She admitted, "You seemed pretty hit up yesterday."
"I was? Oooooo, I was." He agreed sheepishly, man that dream really shook me, he thought. "Anyway, I'm fine so you can go now… unless you're looking for some action…" he grinned at her feeling some of the real Jack coming back,
"I'm engaged Jack!" snapped Gwen, adopting the voice she always ended up with when discussing her engagement or fiancé.
"Sorry, sorry." He muttered and then laughed, "I was only joking anyway."
"Really? I don't think so, Jack." She laughed, "But whatever, I needed to talk to you anyway."
"Ok then, talk." Jack pulled on his shirt, his dream forgotten.
"Well… I've been thinking about your friend, Captain John…"
"Oh you really shouldn't," put in Jack with a grim smile, "that guy is more trouble than he looks."
"Seriously." She frowned at him, "I'm being serious here. So I was thinking about all the stuff he said and well… I want you to tell me, Jack, please?"
Jack smiled,
"I told you not to trust him, remember?"
"Well I know but you're no better than him by not telling us anything." Gwen said, "You know I wont tell anyone, no matter how bad it is."
Jack considered throwing himself at her innocent face and teaching her the meaning of 'being sexually active'… but he changed his mind. Gwen was, after all, a trusted friend and like it or not she was engaged.
"I'm sorry Gwen, but the truth is I'd rather forget my past and some of it is forgotten."
"How come?"
"I… had my memory wiped." He said softly, "It was a long time ago and for a crime I cannot remember, do not feel pity for me Gwen. I did not ask for it."
Her eyes widened as he spoke but she said nothing, when Jack finished Gwen looked at her feet.
"I guess I shouldn't force you to tell me." She sighed, "but I thought we were friends."
"We are friends, now leave me in peace to finish sleeping."
Shrugging, Gwen exited the room through the door and didn't look back.
