Sorry for the delayish. I was expecting to get it up quicker but I lost my muse. Found it again! Thank you for the reviews, much appreciated (that means I love you) and thank you Megan especially x

So here is chapter 2 (sorry but it's shorter I'm afraid.)


"Mornin' sleepyhead."

There was a groan as Rose rolled over onto her back and blinked her eyes open, to see a large, brown dog staring down at her. She nearly forgot about the events of yesterday and was about to scream at a talking animal. Of course, she suddenly remembered and giggled, raised her head and licking his muzzle tenderly. "Mornin'." She replied lazily, standing up and stretching her back. The Doctor watched her, amused and then started to walk through the grass.

"We slept all night… surprising really. I hardly ever sleep y'know." The Doctor grinned, getting a waft of her when a gently breeze came. Rose trotted after him and sidled next to his body. She wasn't sure why she felt so close to him ever since she turned into this wolf creature, it was weird, but it felt right, and the Doctor didn't seem to be complaining that much.

Rose suddenly felt her stomach rumble fiercely and groaned, looking up at the Doctor pleadingly. "I am starving! Can we get some chips?" She asked, sniffing the air, trying to find the best source of food. The Doctor laughed in reply and walked off the pathway from the park and into the woodland, which Rose had never ventured before.

"Dogs don't eat chips. That's human food. No, why don't we try and hunt for ourselves? That could be fun!" The Doctor jumped up and down excitedly and started to run into the trees, Rose in tow. She was laughing and started to shout.

"Doctor! I can't imagine you hurting a fly! You didn't have the heart to take the spider out of the bath!" She giggled and saw the Doctor stop and look back at her.

"I was in a Time Lord form then. No, hunting is instinct as a wolf, and I will not eat any of the crappy dog food tins that your mother will probably buy us. Fresh meat! That's what we need. Come on Rose, I know you can feel it as well. The pulsing in your head, ready to pounce, the need for meat. Hunt with me, Rose, like a pack member." The Doctor coaxed her, rubbing his head along her body, making her knees weak.

Rose's eyes glinted and she produced a grin, her trademark smile forming, with her tongue slipping between her pearly fangs. "Okay Doctor. But this is the middle of London, what animal can we hunt here?" She asked,

"Rabbits, foxes, birds. All sorts! Smell the air and tell me what you feel." The Doctor started to walk again, but this time it wasn't a puppyish bound all loud and clumsy, instead it was a light pad, careful not to disturb any other animal.

Rose followed him but closed her eyes and smelt. "Fox." She breathed, letting out a sigh. "Follow me." She whispers, her senses beginning to take hold. The smells around her started to push her in every direction. There were rabbits nesting by the large oak, ducks sleeping by the pond, and a fox and her cubs in a hideout underneath the rose bush. She started to pad across to it but froze as she heard a squeak and saw a small cub push its nose out into the fresh air.

She turned back to the Doctor who was ready to pounce on one of the cubs that was straying too far from home. She blocked his way and he looked up warily, wondering why she had suddenly stopped. "Come on Rose, we're hungry and they have nowhere to run." He began to advance on the cub when he noticed the sadness in her eyes.

"Look at them." She whispers. "Look!" The Doctor obeyed and looked down at the three cubs that were curiously looking around and sniffing the grass and the trees. Their eyes were bright and wide with fascination of this whole new world. "How could you even think about killing such beautiful creatures?"

The Doctor looked up at Rose. "It's the food chain, Rose. You have eaten lamb before?" He watched her nod slowly but before she could reply he cut in. "They were slaughtered before they even got to adulthood. What makes this different? In fact it was better, at least these animals were brought up in the wild, unlike most livestock which never live to become old."

"But it isn't me responsible for killing them!" She shot back.

The Doctor sighed and sat down, making sure he wouldn't raise his voice to startle the cubs. "No, but you buy the meat? If you watch someone being bullied and not tell anyone, that doesn't make you the responsible one. You are just as bad as them. This is nature; every animal has to fight for survival." He looked across at the three cubs again. "We don't have to kill all of them. How about we kill just one of them for now, so the mother still has two to look after?"

Rose nodded slowly and he licked her nose happily. They started to advance on one of the cubs that were playing happily until finally they were noticed and the cubs scattered. Both Rose and the Doctor were focusing on the same cub and they were much faster than the fox and could easily out run it. The Doctor managed to pounce first and pin it down, making Rose skid to a halt. She stood back and watched as the Doctor applied pressure onto its neck and the small animal fell limp in his mouth.

The Doctor dropped the dead animal and looked up at her. She opened her mouth but no words came out. "For once in your life, you're speechless!" The Doctor joked, lowering his head to feast.

"It's just…" Rose stared at him as he bit into the flesh. "I never expected you to… do that." She nodded at the carcass.

He stopped eating and went over to her, licking her face, she winced as she caught a whiff of the fresh blood in his breath. "It's nature, Rose, you have to face that. Wolves are carnivores. I mean, it wasn't exactly like we were vegetarian before."

She stared at him. "I have never seen you kill anything before in my life. I'm sorry, I sound stupid-"

"You never sound stupid."

"-but I guess you're right. Wolves kill for meat, not for pleasure. I am getting worked up over nothing!" She laughed, nuzzling him. "It's just hard to get used to it, that's all."

The Doctor smiled. "I understand, come on! I'm starving."

Together they walked towards the dead cub and began to have breakfast.


"There I was thinking you had been dognapped or something! I was worried sick when you didn't come back. The TARDIS was still there, but you had completely vanished. Mickey rung up the RSPCA but they hadn't taken you in. We checked all the kennels around the area and you weren't there. You could've-" Jackie was stopped mid sentence as Rose gave an exasperated groan.

"MUM! Shut up will ya? You don't need to worry about me; I'm a big girl now." Rose nearly shouted, making the Doctor flatten his ears and tread backwards.

"Yes but-"

"Nothing! I don't want you poking your nose in! All we did was have a sleep in the park, what was wrong with that?" She asked angrily. "Didn't you or Mickey think to look there?!"

"Mickey the Idiot…" The Doctor sung.

"Shut up." Rose snapped, glaring at the dog which was cowering in the corner.

"Fine! Go with your Doctor on all these fancy trips, turning into wolves and dogs, see if I care!" Jackie stalked into the living room.

"Fine." Rose shouted, grabbing the Doctor by the Sonic Screwdriver collar and dragging him out of the front door, slamming it behind them.

The Doctor ran half heartily after Rose as she headed towards the park and towards the TARDIS. He watched as she reached the door and opened it, causing it to creak. She didn't wait for the Doctor to catch up and she just slammed the door, not wanting to be disturbed. He sat in front of the blue door and sighed, biting his lip.

It had all gone a bit wrong after they had finished with the fox. Rose decided to change back to her human form to talk to her mum, but by the time they had got back to her house, they had been gone for over twelve hours and both Jackie and Mickey had been going mad thinking they had been taken by the local kennels. Of course, the Doctor had just cowered back as they fought, watching them both scream at each other angrily, guilt flying through him. It wasn't Rose's fault, it was his. If only the Doctor had been more careful and knew how Jackie would reach to her daughter disappearing for the night. He sighed and walked away from the TARDIS, back onto the grass where he would wait for her to let him in. It would be no use scratching at the door if Rose was sulking in her room (which she did a lot when she was in a mood).

The Doctor blamed it on hormones. It was always hormones with women. Every companion he traveled with got moody and shouted sometimes, but then there were times when they could be lovely. He just had to see past that annoyed girl and see the beautiful woman behind the sulking face.

The park was unusually quiet and he perked his ears up, looking around. Where had everyone gone? There were nothing, humans, dogs or any other animal for that matter. Was it just him or had it got colder? The Doctor spun around as he suddenly heard a crunch of dead leaves, hackles high and fur rising across his body. There was no one there…

He snarled and turned around gradually, breathing heavily with his teeth bared, ready to pounce at anything that would come out of the shadows.

It all happened so quickly that there was no way of escaping. A dart was shot and it had been so unexpected that the Doctor couldn't manage to dodge it. It embedded itself perfectly in the main vein in his neck and within thirty seconds he was out cold.

Rose was just being like a stroppy teenager, and she wasn't being fair on the Doctor. She had slammed the door on him and felt a pang of guilt. She rolled off her bed and wondered whether she should change back into a wolf. Maybe later… she thought, walking into the console room and towards the door.

As soon as she opened the doors, she knew something was wrong. The Doctor wouldn't wander off far from the TARDIS or her, so when she couldn't see him, she knew it was serious. The park was very quiet, which was unusual. There was an old man sitting by the pond with a bored looking Jack Russell. He threw lumps of bread into the murky water, not even noticing that there were no ducks there. The bread just became soggy and broke apart.

The sight was amusing, but she needed to find the Doctor. Maybe he went back to mum's, she thought, but knew he would never go into the residence of Jackie Tyler unsupervised. He was too terrified to do that. A smile crept over her face as she thought of the Doctor cowering from Jackie's slapping hand. The grin didn't meet her eyes though and she decided that becoming a wolf would give her more senses than the puny human would.

Rose walked back into the TARDIS and she came back out five minutes later with her collar round her neck and her salmon pink tongue rolled out the corner of her mouth. She sniffed the air but was surprised to only find a small trace of the Doctor. She padded over to a piece of grassland near the pond and sniffed it, sensing that he had sat that recently. She gulped and tried to follow where he had gone after that, but it just took her round in circles. Panic began to rise, as well as fear, and she had no idea what to do. He would be easy to find if he had just gone for a walk, but there was no scent of him past the grassland. It was as if he vanished…


The lights, such bright lights beaming down on him. They forced him to open his eyes, only to blind him in such brightness. The Doctor groaned and rolled over onto his side, squeezing his eyes shut before blinking them open, hopefully getting used to such the bright light. All he could see was white. White floors, white ceilings, white walls, white door. He got up onto his shaky legs and whined slightly, trying to remember what happened.

"Okay so I was shot by a dart." He murmured, walking up and down the short room, the light on the ceiling swinging each time he went near it. "And I wake up here." He stopped and stared down at his feet. "Well that concluded nothing Doctor, well done!" He said sarcastically.

He snorted and sat down on his rump.

"Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness."

The Doctor spun around and saw something standing in the doorway, staring at the Doctor intently. His instinct made him take a step back but he could only make out the outline of the figure because his body was shadowed. A ghostly smile traced the Doctor's lips and he shrugged. "Yeah well, I am mad, y'know. Always have been, funny story really-"

"SILENCE!" The voice shrieked, making him flatten his ears.

"Well I was just going to-"

"I said SILENCE!" He yelled even louder. This time the Doctor shut up and watched with beady eyes as the man (human? Alien?) stepped forward. "Tell me, Time Lord." He said his race with scorn. "Show us the magic of shape shifting."

"You expect me to tell you how I became this form gently? To a creature I don't even know what race you are? To someone who says my race so disrespectfully?"

"Yes."

"Oh." The Doctor didn't really expect such a straight forward answer. "Well sorry but no can do, mate. Besides who would want to be a werewolf anyway?"

A smile crept over his shadowed face, revealing mustard yellow fangs. "We can track your blonde companion and maybe she can be a little more… helpful. If not we can put her to death. Your decision Doctor."

Before the Doctor could answer, the creature left the room, slamming the door shut and locking it tightly. He ran towards the door, his form growing to his usual werewolf size and he bashed against the hinged angrily, but they wouldn't budge.

"DON'T HURT HER! DON'T YOU DARE!" He yelled, clawing desperately at the metal door.

All he could hear on the other side of the door was the throaty cackling which made his blood run cold…


Rose padded around in circles, trying to catch a waft of his scent, but she found nothing, absolutely nothing! She cried out in anguish, kicking a stray stone. She looked over at the pond and noticed that now the old man had left, leafing the soggy bread drifting in the pond. Where had all the ducks gone? She sighed and sat down; pricking her ears as she suddenly heard a crack of a twig. She felt a tingling sensation run down her spine and it suddenly went cold.

She had a bad feeling about this and she started to run towards the TARDIS, but already she heard the shot of a gun and Rose fell to the ground as something hit her neck. Already she felt the tranquilizer run through her blood and her eyes drooped, her heart racing as she saw figures begin to walk towards her. Rose could do nothing but let herself succumb to sleep as they began to come closer.

All she remembered was a monster staring down at her with a sickly smile…
