Chapter 2: Waking up

It was dark. That's all Jack knew. He started to hear voices. Very faint ones. Puzzled, he tried desperately to figure out who's they were when he suddenly plunged back into reality. His eyes fluttered open. His vision was blurred at the edges but he didn't care. He was to focused on the figures talking in front of him. One was pacing the other had a face full of panic and he could ony just make out who they were...

"Gwen" he whispered.

Quicker than a flash they both shot to his side - Owen and Gwen.

"Jack," She said, " are you fee-" She Stopped talking due to shock. Her shock.

"Bloody hell" Owen exclaimed before Gwen could. Both the medic and his friend were Stunned and horrified at the same time as Jack tilted his head and fell unconscious but Owen and Gwen were more concerned about the great, big, purple lines running along his veins and stamping themselves in to his skin ; but that wasn't the only thing - there was something else. On his neck was a bite mark - 3 punctures 3 teeth - with a rim covered in a sticky, yellow, thick substance. Gwen felt revolted so did Owen on the other hand, he was already on the case of finding out what it was : Hopefully not an infection he thought.

Jack wasn't in the darkness again. He was in the past. Hey could see old memories. When his mind finally stopped at the time he fell ill in the TARDIS. He caught a similar thing to what he was suffering through now except he wasn't in as much pain. The TARDIS was clever he recalled she helped him to heal and also blocked out the pain. He also remembered the doctor's not so comforting voice "Nice to know your not as big a girl as we thought you were then. Ey Jack?!" the doctor chuckled then he remembered a nice memory - Rose smacking him in the arm for that remark. He laughed in his head as well as reality without knowing. He tried to reach out and smack him but you can't change the past but you can act in the present...

"Oww!"

"What is it?"

"Jack, Slapped me!"

Gwen just laughed and whispered in her head Good old, Jack.

Jack woke up with surprised face. In fact, they almost all jumped out of their skins when the alarm gone off and two pairs of footsteps coud be heard accompanied by voices : one female and one male : Tosh and Ianto had arrived.

Gwen rushed down to greet as-well as explain what happened to them and gave a simple command to none other than Ianto :

"Ianto, I need water Now" He was Gone quicker than you could say 'Ianto, I need water Now'

Meanwhile Gwen and Tosh were on the way to Jack office when... SMASH! BANG! CLATTER! A growling noise came from the holding cells...
