"Now is the time for me to rise to my feet
Wipe your spit from my face,
Wipe these tears from my eyes!
I got to take my life back,
One chance to make it right!
I've gotta have my voice be heard
And bring meaning to this life!"
It was around two thirty in the morning and the music was so loud through her earphones that she didn't hear the footsteps coming close behind her. They weren't clear and definite footsteps, more like someone who wasn't quite used to walking and had very heavy feet. She did however feel the breath on her neck and she did see the monstrous face as she spun round to face her attacker.
She fought, my goodness how she fought but it wasn't working. She had no other alternative than to do what she had always been told not to. It knocked her off her feet and she blacked out as it tore into her skin.
"And it's time to reverse the roles,
I just wanna make good on all the promises I have made!
I will be,
I…Will…Be,
I will be heard!"
The music was so loud on the ground but it couldn't be heard above her screams.

Captain Jack looked into the middle of the Hub and couldn't believe his eyes. He began to think about how much he had actually drunk that night and it was nowhere near enough to make him see things like that.
Right in the middle of the Torchwood Hub was a huge, medieval style, four-poster bed!
"What the…? Where the hell did that come from?" Jack had sobered himself up in a matter of minutes.
"Ianto, Gwen you guys ok?" Jack called out to his team members.
"Ianto? Gwen?" a worried Jack ran around the Hub looking for Ianto and Gwen but found no sign of them. He started thinking that maybe they got out but he hadn't seen them or heard them. Maybe they are knocked out somewhere in the Hub but then again he had looked everywhere.
Where were they?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merlin didn't want to open his eyes. He wasn't sure what had happened but he wasn't sure if he wanted to know. The back of Merlin's head hurt like nothing had ever hurt him before. Slowly, Merlin sat himself up and reached around to the back his head like he had done seconds earlier. Luckily the bleeding had stopped but the pain hadn't.
At least the ground had stopped shaking although these bricks seem strange, Merlin thought. Finally he got the courage to open his eyes and try to stand up. Arthur was going to be really mad if he didn't get back soon. Merlin stood up, looked around and fell off his feet again. This was definitely not Camelot!
Merlin took it all in. He could see strangely dressed people rushing past him, some went into the buildings and others carried on rushing. Oh and the buildings! They weren't the stone or wooden structures he was used to. These were tall, very tall, and the one in front of him was shiny, really shiny. There were words all over it but he couldn't make out what they said.
"I'm definitely not in Camelot anymore!" remarked Merlin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack was beginning to panic. With everything that had happened and everything he had lost, something else had happened and he had managed to lose more. He decided it would be best to sit down and compose himself. Jack went to sit on the sofa but fell straight onto his backside. "When did that go? What the hell is going on here?" Jack was perplexed.
Jack got up and walked over to the computers to check where there had been rift activity. It occurred to him that maybe the rift had something to do with the disappearance of his team. The map on the screen showed that there had also been two other areas of rift activity. One was right outside the Hub and the other…Gwen's flat!
Jack was torn. If Gwen was in one place and Ianto was in the other then who would he go to first? The computer beeped at him. The signal outside the Hub was the strongest, he would have to deal with that one first no matter who it was.

Although she could tell the ground had stopped moving, Guinevere could tell that something was wrong. Now she could open her eyes after that bright light, she realised what was wrong. She wasn't in Morgana's chamber and from what she could tell she wasn't even in Camelot. The room she was in was… well was strange.
There was a large piece of furniture in front of her which could have been for sitting on as it was soft and bouncy (she couldn't help but try out her theory plus she needed to sit down before she fell down). In front of it was a large black and slightly shiny box. Guinevere couldn't even imagine what it was for and just being here, wherever here was, made her mind spin.
"Merlin's not going to believe this!" Guinevere was amazed at herself. Merlin? Why had she said Merlin? Obviously she had meant Morgana… well she meant Morgana as well.
Guinevere heard a door opening and closing so she automatically shot up and stood behind the big seat. In walked a man with only a towel wrapped around him, singing a strange but very upbeat song that Guinevere didn't recognise. It wasn't until he had almost reached her, that he looked up and realised she was there.
"Who the hell are you? How did you get in here?" Rhys wasn't sure what to do. What if Gwen walked in right now and saw this? What would she think of him being half naked in front of a strange woman?
"I'm sorry sir I…I…" Guinevere trailed off. She had no idea what to say to this man, this man who was almost naked in front of her. Rhys was growing impatient,
"Look whoever you are, I'm calling the Police and they can handle it!" Rhys backed out of his living room and into the bedroom he shares with Gwen. Meanwhile Guinevere was thinking of something to say that would make him change his mind. She had never heard of this thing called the Police but she didn't like the sound of it. Then it hit her. Guinevere rushed towards the room the man had walked into.
"Excuse me sir. Maybe I can explain this. Um… well I was in Morgana's chambers and then I… I guess I then was here. I don't know how and I don't know why but that's what happened." Guinevere couldn't believe how easy it had been to tell him what she thought was impossible. The man's head poked around the door and had a look on his face which said that he may know what was going on,
"Do by any chance know a man named Jack? This has him written all over it!"

Merlin ran a hand over his hair, down his neck and around to the front where he could rest it on his… where had his scarf gone? He knew he had been wearing it earlier when he was in Camelot.
He began to recount what he did in Camelot thinking that maybe he left it somewhere when he was doing jobs for Arthur. Arthur. That was the first time Merlin had thought about the prince. Arthur must be getting ready for the feast and Merlin almost laughed out loud at the thought of Arthur trying to figure out how to do up his shirt.
Just then Merlin noticed rather good looking man, with a floppy hair cut, running towards him with something in his hand aimed at Merlin. The man was shouting at him to stay where he was and he won't shoot.
"Shoot what?" Merlin asked this strange man.
"Who are you and what have you done with Gwen and Ianto?" The man looked serious and angry.
"I'm sorry who? Look I'm not from around here…"
"Well I figured that from the rift activity around you!" This man was very strange. What was a rift activity? The only thing Merlin could see around him was these strange buildings with the strangely dressed people.
"My name is Merlin. I'm from Camelot. I don't mean any harm and I just want to get back." Merlin hoped this man knew the way home because if it was left to Merlin then he may never get home. Then what would Arthur do.
"Wait." The man lowered his arm that had the grey dangerous looking thing aimed at Merlin.
"You're Merlin from Camelot? Wow if I was a normal human I'd think you were crazy, but seeing as though I'm nowhere near being a normal human then I say… I think we can help each other. My name I Captain Jack Harkness and you Merlin, well you can call me Jack." The man's angry look had been replaced by what seemed to be a sneaky little smile.

"Poor thing. Apparently she didn't even see it coming. She's lucky to be alive, injuries like that… well I can't stand to think about it! You know the guy who did it was nowhere to be seen!" It sounded like a woman's voice but she couldn't be seen.
"I'll try and get hold of her parents. What's her name?" this time it was a man, maybe a young one.
"Well the driver's licence in her wallet said Conna McAuley so I'd start with that." This was the woman.
Conna remembered now. Walking home in the dark. Loud music. Strength leaving her. Pain. She hoped that what she did had worked. He was her only hope. Sleep washed over her like a wave on the beach. It wasn't long before she was unconscious once again.
Conna had no idea the damage her gift had caused.
