Chapter 28 Dead
AN: This chapter contains spoilers for Children of Earth. Also I have noticed all the little spelling errors and such in previous chapters and in a few weeks will go back and fix them all, but for now, we shall just have to make do.
The sound of the TARDIS filled the bay as the Doctor hummed to herself, pulling down the handbrake and checking her reflection in the monitor with a smirk. The TARDIS had been stabilised, she just needed to pick up Jack before she headed back to little Amelia and set off on the next adventure. She skipped towards the doors and flung them open, leaning against the frame and calling out.
"Captain my Captain!" There was a moment of silence before she looked across the bay. It was destroyed. Torchwood was gone. "No..." she hurried to the crater where the base once stood. Surrounded by tape there was an eerie silence, before a roaring filled her ears and she pushed back the waves of nausea hitting her body as her knees buckled as she sank to the ground. Gone. He was gone. They were all gone. No Gwen, Ianto...Jack. Her sweet precious Captain. A dry sob escaped her as she stared at the remain of her friends, her only family. She felt deep inside, trying to find that sense of wrongness that filled her when he was near, but she was met by nothing. He was gone. Dead at last... she watched, waiting for any sign of movement. Nothing. There was nothing. There never would be again.
"Rest now, my warrior..." she sang under her breath. A simple song, from far and long away.
She pushed herself up of the ground and stumbled towards the TARDIS, falling into her doors and collapsing into the jump seat.
"Get me out of here." She whispered, knowing the TARDIS was listening; a sense of loss was pulsating through the walls as the Doctor bowed her head and a tear rolled down her cheek.
