The Sound of Drums part 2
Her skin was itching. Her hands rubbing and clawing at her wrist. The familiar feeling of electricity and an electrical implant placed into her skin was evident in her body. Her hand had been bleeding for some time now. Her hand cold and pale, her skin blue and red raw from her constant scratching. Rose had no idea what the device was until she had time to properly study it. Her improved mind and intense knowledge of history, time... and even technology had made her come to the conclusion of what the small metal object was. The Master had found out about her emotional and incomprehensible bond between her and the Doctor and the way to stop her from finding the man she loved, and the man she wanted too see more than anything in the whole universe was to place this small object into her skin. It was simply lying their embedded into several layers of her skin. This object was to stop her from telepathically calling out to her husband. To mask her advanced life force. To make her undetectable to the Time Lord she knew so well.
But Rose was struggling to keep her eyes open. The loss of blood, and the freezing temperatures of the cold basement she had called her home for the last few days was not helping her forever healing body. The number of bruises and large knife wounds had increased. Her mind tired from the constant feeling of the Master in her mind. The excruciating amount of concentration she had to endure to push the intelligent Time Lord from her mind had caused her to become exhausted. Rose found herself lying down on the ground in a tight ball to keep herself warm. Her head resting on her outstretched arm, her wrist facing upwards to prevent the metal object to push deeper into her skin. Her eyes dropping heavily as she succumbed to the feeling of exhaustion.
Rose found herself transported into a world of never ending beach. The wind was blowing her long hair around her face, the salty sea was lapping on the shore and the smell hit her nose. There was no sound. It was deathly quite. To quite. Just the sound of the sea. But Rose was standing on her own. She moved her head so she was looking to the left to be greeted with more sand. The sky grey as it threatened rainfall. She moved her head to the right to be greeted with the same sight. She was alone, oh so very alone and for once in her life that scared her. She had travelled around the universe for ten years on her own and never once was she terrified of moving along. But being placed on this beach, with no sound and no people petrified her.
Rose brought in a huge lungful of air and looked around her before stepping forward into the sand in front of her and walked to her left. She must have been walking for hours. Her feet aching, her chest heaving as her lungs burned as she tried to bring in the necessary air. The wind whipping at her clothing which she had pulled closer to her. The unnerving silence constantly bothering her. But the beach looked like it did when she started off. Sand, cliffs and the sea. Looking like they would go on forever. But as Rose looked up as could see a figure coming into her sight. She stood their squinting, her eyes straining through the wind to try and get a better look at the person coming towards her. Her heartbeat thumping in her chest, her breathing rapid as she waited in anticipation for the being to come closer to her.
But she could not believe what her eyes were retrieving as she took in the being in front of her. A man with a thick mob of brown hair. A pale complexion but beautiful features. Large brown eyes which you could get lost in; eyes which showed exactly how beautiful the man's soul was. A large strong nose and jaw and beautiful side burns. A deathly skinny man whose suit clutched to his sides, his tie tucked into his blazer, his trench coat bellowing in the wind. Theta. This man was Theta... otherwise and more commonly known as the Doctor. The Last of the Time Lords, the last remaining survivor of Gallifrey. A man who travelled around the universe in a blue wooden police box called the TARDIS. This man walking towards her was her husband. The one man she had been looking for for the last 10 years. The man who had taught her, shown her and believed in her so much her heart exploded with such love and devotion she couldn't help the huge smile which formed onto her lips.
But as she took steps towards him, nervousness formed into the pit of her stomach. The Doctor was looking down at the ground, his hands in his pockets, not having taken even a single glance at Rose. But just as he was about to walk past her he looked up at her. He seemed shocked and taken back to see her... confusion evident in his large brown orbs.
"Doctor?" Rose cried happily, a smile once again spreading across her features. She laughed slightly as she pulled her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. But her heart was shattered when the Doctor pulled away from her.
"What are you doing?" He asked in horror. "Who the hell are you?" He shouted down at Rose "And how the hell do you know my name?" He asked her. His eyes boring straight in to hers, and once in her life she had to move her gaze as she was devastated at what she saw in his eyes.
"It's me Rose" Rose managed to say as she looked back up at the Doctor but he simply looked down at her with a frown. Rose didn't know how to feel. All her insecurities were peaking to the surface. The feeling of loss from loosing the man she loved. For feeling rejected as the Doctor refused to accept the women she had become. The way the Doctor reacted as he saw her again. The way he reacted to the confident and intelligent person she was... would the Doctor not recognise her again? Would he not accept her for who she was and abandon her? She could feel her eyes watering as she looked up at him.
"I'm your wife" She cried up to him. But the Doctor was horrified. Shocked. And he took steps back, shaking his head as he tried to get away from her.
"No... no your not... My wife died long ago... burned with the rest of my people" He cried at her, angry, shouting right into her face as he took steps towards Rose. "Don't ever see me again" He snarled before pushing past her roughly and striding from the spot they had met. Rose simply cried after him, yelling his name, begging him to listen to her but he refused. He simply got smaller and smaller until he disappeared. Rose didn't know what to do. She couldn't control her emotions anymore and she collapsed to her knees. Her hand going to her mouth as she tried to control the uncontrollable sobs which were escaping her mouth, her tears flowing freely down her cheeks.
But suddenly Rose jumped. Her eyes snapping open, her body shaking as she was shoved back into reality. Adrenaline was coursing around her body. Her eyes adjusting to her surroundings once again. It had all been a dream. The rejection from the Doctor had been a dream. She just hoped that he would not abandon her. He would love her for who she was and what she had become. Rose slowly lowered her head back to her arm again and ignored the single tear that was flowing from her eye as she thought back to her dream.
"All right?" The Doctor yelled as he frowned up towards the building which had once been Martha's flat. Shards of glass were littering the ground. Small fires were burning as he spoke to everyone.
"Fine, yeah, fine." Jack muttered as he too took in his surroundings. His foot moving as he tried to protect his shoes from the large shards of glass.
"Martha?" The Doctor questioned as he turned to look at her, his arms hanging at his sides. He noticed she had her hand up to her ear. She was using her mobile. "What are you doing?" The Doctor panicked as he took a few steps towards her. Jack was simply looking down at her, his eyebrows in a frown.
"He knows about me. What about my family?" Martha fixed as she walked passed Jack.
"Don't tell them anything!" The Doctor defended. His glasses present on his nose still, his coat hanging over his arm as he turned to look at her. His face held in a frown.
"I'll do what I like!" Martha snapped angry as she held out her free hand and pointed it towards the Doctor. "Mum? Oh my God, you're there." Martha breathed with relief. Jack looked over to the Doctor who was frowning as he placed on his coat. Martha had her other hand cradled over the bottom of her phone.
"Course I'm here, sweetheart. You all right?" Francine, Martha's mother sounded over the phone
"I'm fine. I'm fine. Mum, has there been anyone asking about me?" Martha asked quickly, her face holding a frown, her eyebrows raised.
"Martha, I think perhaps you should come 'round." Francine stated
"I can't! Not now!" Martha cried, her heartbeat racing, her hands shaking, her breathing hitching with nerves.
"No, but it's your father. We've been talking and we thought we might give it another go." Francine replied. Martha could see the Doctor taking his glasses off his nose and placing them back into his pocket while he held the laptop in his other arm.
"Don't be so daft! Since when?"Martha cried
"Just come 'round. Come to the house, we can celebrate." Francine urged
"You said you'd never get back with him in a million years." Martha stated, finally understand what was going on.
"Ask him yourself." She stated and Martha was shocked when she heard her father on the other end of the line.
"Martha, it's me."
"Dad? What are you doing there?" Martha stated as she turned around to look at the Doctor. Her eyebrows raised as she tried to reign in her emotions. The Doctor took a few steps towards her, one of his eyebrows raised while his eyes were squinting slightly. The Doctor knew about her parents and her family, knowing the implications of this.
"Like your mother said, come 'round. We can explain everything." Clive sounded over the phone
"Dad? Just say yes or now. Is there someone else there?"Martha asked as she never moved her eyes from the Doctor.
"Yes! Just run!" Clive yelled over the phone.
"Clive!" Martha heard her mother crying over the phone.
"Listen to me! Just run! I don't know who they are!"
"We're trying to help her! Martha, don't listen to him!"
"Dad! What's going on? Dad?" Martha yelled as she held her mouth open in panic.
"I gotta help them!" Martha cried as she shut her phone and ran to her car.
"That's exactly what they want! It's a trap!" The Doctor yelled; his eyebrows frowned as he shouted over at her.
"I don't care!" snapped frustrated as she opened her car. The Doctor simply looked over to Jack. One of his eyebrows was now raised before he let out a lungful of air, which he could see in the cold air before running over to her car. He climbed into the passenger seat while Jack climbed into the back. His wide form taking up most of the room.
Martha was driving recklessly. Scooting around cars, her tyres squealing under the speed of the car. Cars were sounding their horns but suddenly the Doctor yelled something at her.
"Corner!" He shouted, his eyebrows down, his face scrunched up slightly. Martha took the corner tightly, her tyres squealing once again. Each one of them was flung to the left side of the car. Both the Doctor and Jack pressed tightly to the windows of the car.
Martha had he phone hooked up to the Bluetooth in her car. The Doctor could hear the ringing of the other phone over the speakers while Martha tapped her steering wheel impatiently as she waited for the call to connect to her mobile.
"C'mon, Tish. Pick up." Martha muttered while both of her friends were looking around through the windows of her car.
"Martha, I can't talk right now. We just made first contact. Did you see- What are you doing? Get off! Linda, tell them!" Tish cried, all the while Martha, Jack and the Doctor could hear everything that was happening.
"What's happening? Tish!" Martha cried and she glanced back over to the Doctor who was looking at her sadly. "It's your fault! It's all your fault!" Martha yelled. The Doctor simply had his lips pressed together, his eyebrows meeting together in a frown, his eyes hard as he tried to push the hurt from being blamed from his features and heart. All the while Jack was looking on sadly, feeling empathy for the Doctor being blamed for everything once again. He just wished Rose was there to one make the Time Lord happier, and to also put Martha back into her place.
Martha rounded the corner to her mother's house to see both her mother and father being shoved into a police car. Cars were littering the street, armed men suited up and ready to strike filled her eyes.
"Martha, reverse." The Doctor said his breathing coming out harshly, his eyebrows still in a frown. But the police suddenly aimed their weapons at the car, taking aim at them.
"Get out, now!" The Doctor yelled when Martha took no notice of him. Suddenly Martha snapped into action reversing into a 3-point turn. But suddenly the police started to open fire. The back window was shattered causing Jack and The Doctor to lean forward in case they were shot.
"The only place we can go…planet Earth. Great." Martha cried upset and sarcastic.
"Careful!" The Doctor yelled angrily, finally having enough and fed up of Martha taking out all her emotions on him. The Doctor was clinging onto the side of the car, wishing to be in the comfort of his TARDIS than in the car with Martha. Jack was holding onto the headrests of the back of the front seats as he spoke over to Martha who was still peed of with the Doctor.
"Now, Martha, listen to me. Do as I say. We've gotta ditch this car. Pull over. Right now!" Jack stated as he shouted over at Martha who was constricted about what to do. Help her family or go with the Doctor. She nodded before heading over to a side road, leaving the car and following them on foot, her eyes constantly filling up with tears in her eyes.
Rose was pulled from her dreamless sleep when she felt large hands gripping her tightly and dragging her from the room. Her feet rendering as the guards continued to drag her towards the only other room she knew. She was still exhausted, her body aching with pain due to the hundreds of different wounds which she had sustained due to the Master. Her wrist still itching profusely.
But when she was moved into the room it wasn't just the Master in the room. She could see three other people in the room. A young women in a suit, someone she recognised. Did she work here? And the other two must have been the parents to the younger one. Each one of them cowering under the glare from the Master. The Guards left Rose standing in the middle of the room. The Master leaning his hips on his desk, his arms crossed over his chest and his face held to the ground, his face dark and angry. Rose looked up in confusion towards the Master and the group standing in the corner. She looked at them questioning before turning back to the Master, confused at the fact she hadn't been pushing into the chair like she normally was.
"Sit down Rosie" The Master stated as he moved his eyes to look at her. His voice dark and menacing. A tone of voice which would have anyone quivering with fear, like the 3 in the corner but Rose simply looked at him.
"I think ill stand" Rose said confidently. Rose looked at the group in the corner and smirked slightly as they looked shocked at her confidence unable to believe that someone like Rose was standing up to him.
"Sit down or ill make you sit down!" The Master said darkly again, this time taking a few steps towards Rose so he was standing right in front of her. The Master looked down at her while Rose looked right up to him defiantly. Rose said nothing, she simply looked up at him as he tried to make her sit down. But suddenly the Master's fist contacted with Rose's ribs, a huge sickening crack exploded over her body, pain shooting up to her brain from her chest causing her to fall to her knees in agony. Ribs broken, the Master smiling while the group standing in the corner of the room were looking horrified.
"That's better isn't it now Rose" The Master muttered to her as he sat on his knees in front of her. Rose clutched at her chest, looking up at the Master through her fringe. "Now then, I have the unfortunate opportunity to tell you that the Doctor is back" The Master said as he stood up slowly and looked down at Rose and then to the group. Rose had sat up on her knees now, her torso holding her up painfully.
"You leave him alone" Rose said through gritted teeth. Preventing her anger to boil and trying to see and understand what he was saying to her while she sat there in pain.
"Couldn't you sense him?" The Master stated a huge smile on his face. "Oh wait, you can't" He laughed, taunting her "I made sure you couldn't. DO you want to know how I found out?" He asked her.
"Well you're going to tell me anyway... what's the point of asking" Rose sighed heavily. The Master simply beamed excitedly.
"Because of that woman there" He yelled, shoving a hand straight towards the older woman. "She thought your husband was dangerous... a man who is unable to feel anything, destruction evident in his wake, and she told me all about him" The Master cried happily. The woman simply looked at Rose sadly, while Rose looked at her slightly frustrated.
"Your Martha's family" Rose managed to say. They all simply nodded expecting to tell them everything she knew about her. Hoping to find out about there daughter.
"He's a monster... he's corrupted her" Francine settled angrily. Rose simply shook her head.
"You're the one who got yourselves in this mess..." Rose stated "You just wait... he'll be the one to get you out if it" Rose struggled to say, her ribs poking into her lungs making it difficult for her to breath. The Master simply smiled slightly
"Still the faithful companion even to the end" The Master smiled, Rose just flicked her eyes to look at him. "I must admire you Rose. Devotion, loyalty and the most unwavering love for the man. A very fine specimen of human... I can see why he likes you" The Master commended. But he suddenly clicked his fingers, guards walked into the room. Grabbed hold of Martha's family and dragged them from the room. All the while they struggled, shouted demanded to be let go, but Rose was simply shackled to the table. The Master smiling evilly over at her as he pressed a kiss to her cheek.
"Martha, come on!" The Doctor instructed over his shoulder while he walked under the bridge, his hair damp from the fall of the rain. Both Jack and the Doctor looked over their shoulders over to Martha, both slightly frustrated with the fact she was trying to protect her family. Phoning them was probably making it worse.
"Leo! Oh, thank God! Leo, you gotta listen to me. Where are you?" Martha cried relieved as she spoke to her brother over the phone.
"I'm in Brighton. We came down with Boxer. Did you see that Saxon thing on telly?"
"Leo, just listen to me. Don't go home, I'm telling you. Don't phone Mum or Dad or Tish. You've gotta hide." Martha cried as she followed after the Doctor. Both of them turning to look at her as she spoke to her brother.
"Shut up." Leo muttered unbelieving.
"On my life. You've gotta trust me. Go to Boxer's. Stay with him. Don't tell anyone! Just hide!"Martha yelled, her face holding so much panic as the events from the last 20 minuites really sunk in.
"Ooh, a nice little game of hide-and-seek. I love that. But I'll find you, Martha Jones. Been a long time since we saw each other. Must be, what, one hundred trillion years?" Martha heard. Her body going cold, her mouth hanging open, rage boiling in her body as she listened to the voice of the Master.
"Let them go, Saxon." Martha bellowed, but the Doctor suddenly wheeled around at the same time as Jack "Do you hear me? Let them go!" Martha yelled before the Doctor strode over to her and took the phone from Martha's hand.
"I'm here." The Doctor said in all seriousness. His face hard, his eyes cold, his hand in his pocket as he walked away from his friends as he wanted to be alone as he spoke to the other man who was a link
"Doctor." Saxon whispered in complete seriousness
"Master." The Doctor replied, his eyes staring at a single place on the pavement, his eyebrows frowned
"I like it when you use my name." The Master said softly
"You chose it. Psychiatrist's field day." The Doctor stated, his fingertips holding the phone to his ear, while he moved his torso slightly to look around him.
"As you chose yours. The man who makes people better. How sanctimonious is that?" The Master said with a smile on his face as he began to wander around the room. His study.
"So… Prime Minister." The Doctor questioned, now moving around slightly, moving around the square he had now occupied.
"I know. It's good, isn't it?" The Master said to him cheekily and happily, swinging around in his chair.
"Who are those creatures? 'Cause there's no such thing as the Toclafane. It's just a made-up name like the Bogeyman." The Doctor said snapping slightly. His hand still in his pocket while his trench coat was swaying behind him. His eyebrows forever in a frown.
"Do you remember all those fairy tales about the Toclafane when we were kids? Back home. Where is it, Doctor?" The Master whispered, the Doctor's face held sadness and grief as he thought back to the time when he was living on Gallifrey... when everything was peaceful.
"Gone." The Doctor answered
"How can Gallifrey be gone?" The Master snapped. The Doctor simply stopped walking and looked down at the ground sadly. After a slight pause he answered the Master question.
"It burnt."
"And the Time Lords?"
"Dead. And the Daleks… more or less. " The Doctor chimed as he sat down, one of his eyebrows raising as he asked the next question. His eyes constantly moving around as he looked at the surroundings he found himself in "What happened to you?"
"The Time Lords only resurrected me because they knew I'd be the perfect warrior for a Time War. I was there when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. I saw it. I ran. I ran so far. Made myself human so they would never find me because…I was so scared." The Master informed. All the while the Doctor simply listened, his own mind plagued with images he wished he could forget. To push back into the far reached of his mind.
"I know." The Doctor said gently, trying to comfort him somehow.
"All of them?" The Master chimed, ignoring the sombre atmosphere "But now you, which must mean…" The Master said, trailing off
"I was the only one who could end it." The Doctor said sadly. His eyebrows raised, his bottom lip curling over his teeth as he stared into space, the rain falling onto his clothing "And I tried. I did. I tried everything." The Doctor said sadly, his breathing coming out heavily as he tried to remove the lump in his throat and the tears in his eyes.
"What did it feel like, though? Two almighty civilizations burning. Oh, tell me, how did it feel?"The Master stated
"Stop it!" The Doctor snapped, his face once again in a frown while he looked behind him
"You must have been like God." The Master taunted
"I've been alone ever since." The Doctor said sadly, his eyebrows raised, his mouth hanging open. Trying to protect Rose from the Master.
"That's not what I've heard Doctor" The Master said with a smile on his face. The Doctor simply frowned.
"What are you talking about?" The Doctor questioned, confusion and panic evident in his voice
"Hear for yourself" The Master said before he handed the phone to someone. "Say hello" The Doctor heard the Master say before the phone portrayed a beautiful young woman's voice he knew oh so well.
"Doctor?"
"Rose?" The Doctor managed to say once he had pushed passed the shock. "Oh it's good to hear your voice again" The Doctor breathed. He moved his elbow so it was leaning on his elbow as he spoke to his wife. His hand moving to his mouth as he stretched his cheeks and his mouth was open. His heart breathing with so much love.
"I know hunny" Rose said softly
"Is it you though?" The Doctor asked not wanting his hearts broken again to find out that this Rose was not HIS Rose. Rose simply smiled slightly.
"It's me Doctor. I'm in the right time and I'm waiting" She chuckled slightly, so glad to be so close to the Doctor. Just wanting to be at his side once again. The Doctor just let out a sigh of relief.
"He hasn't hurt you has he?" The Doctor asked, never once leaving his crouched position. Rose paused slightly wondering what to say, how to answer him without him worrying to much. But she knew pausing would arouse his suspicions.
"No... he's not hurt me...I'm just tied to a table" Rose said quietly. Her eyes forever on the Master as he watched her talk to her husband. There was a short pause between the Doctor and Rose before she broke it
"I'm sorry Doctor" Rose stated. The Doctor simply frowned
"What for?" The Doctor asked, his eyes holding worry and pain. What had the Master done to her? Why was she so upset? All these thoughts and images were popping into his head and they made him want to help her more than anything.
"I couldn't stop him" Rose said, her voice quivering as all the pain and sadness was etched into her voice. "He knows everything" Rose said distressed. Rose had said she was alright but now the Doctor knew exactly what she had been through. The Master had tortured her into telling him everything. Invaded her mind, made her relive horrific memories she held in her mind. Show Rose images from the Masters memories. Images of Daleks... The Time War anything. Rose must have lived through something that he wished she never had too.
"He knows about the Time Vortex... to BAD WOLF. Everything he's about to do is my fault!" Rose said, her voice cracking due to the raw emotions she was feeling. The Doctors heart leapt to her. To what she was saying and he immediately cut her off. Trying to provide some comfort to her.
"Rose... this is not your fault" The Doctor said strongly. "Do you hear me... this could never be your fault" The Doctor repeated. Rose simply sighed upset. Wanting to see the Doctor again, wanting to feel his arms wrapped around her small form. To see his gorgeous thick brown hair sticking out in every direction. To place her lips to his but she was miles away from him. She would be ecstatic when the Doctor didn't push her away. Glad that her dream was not coming true, but hoping with the whole of her heart that he wouldn't abandon her when he next saw her.
"Alright Doctor" Rose said quietly.
"Rose, sweetheart. Stay strong. Keep believing in yourself and ill find you I promise" The Doctor said passionately, his own eyes watering slightly.
"I know you will Doctor" Rose said with a smile on her lips.
"I love you" The Doctor stated. Rose simply moved her head to the side. Her chest heaving as her heart filled with so much loyalty and devotion.
"And I love you" Rose stated before the Doctor heard the phone being moved and he was once again talking to the Master.
"Master please don't hurt her!" The Doctor begged the Master simply chuckled. "Don't you see, all we've got is each other."
"Are you asking me out on a date?" The Master chuckled
"You could stop this right now. We could leave this planet. We could fight across the constellations if that's what you want. But not on Earth." The Doctor said quickly, spittle flying from his mouth slightly as his mouth moved fast.
"Too late." The Master said after a slight pause
"Why do you say that?" The Doctor said softly and quietly.
"The drumming." The Master muttered his fingers drumming the same rhythm from earlier "I thought it would stop but it never does. Never ever stops. Inside my head, the drumming, Doctor. The constant drumming." The Master finished walking around the table and looking down at Rose who was looking up at him sadly.
"I could help you. Please, let me help." The Doctor begged
"It's everywhere. Listen, listen, listen. Here come the drums. Here come the drums." The Master stated and almost immediately the man leaning on a building by the Doctor started to tap his hands against his legs. The Doctor simply looked on horrified. His eyes wide as he took a few steps towards the man.
"What have you done? Tell me how you've done this. What are those creatures? Tell me!" The Doctor asked getting frustrated. His face in a frown again. His coat blowing in the wind behind him while his other hand was falling limply at his side. The Master was now sitting in front of his laptop before he spoke to the Doctor again
"Ooh, look. You're on TV."
"Stop it! Answer me!" The Doctor snapped
"No, really. You're on telly!" The Master chimed as he clicked on the BBC newscast. The Doctor had walked over to one of the shop windows. "You and your little band, which, by the way, is ticking every demographic box. So, congratulations on that. Look, there you are! Ha!" The Master laughed slightly as the Doctor looked at the TV in the shop window. His face in a frown.
"You're public enemies number one, two and three. Oh, and you can tell handsome Jack that I've sent his little gang off on a wild goose chase to the Himalayas so he won't be getting any help from them." The Master continued. The Doctor could see Martha and Jack and he cocked his head and motioned them forward to look at the TV, his eyes sad and heavy, his eyebrows raised. Jack motioned Martha forward and they came to join him. "Now, go on, off you go. Why not start by turning to the right?" The Master instructed and the Doctor turned to notice a CCTV camera pointing towards them.
"He can see us." The Doctor snarled before pulling out his sonic screwdriver from his coat pocket and used it on the camera which sparked and flared rendering it useless.
"Ooh, you public menace. Better start running. Go on. Run!" The Master instructed. His voice getting louder and louder. A huge smile in his face as he took in the facial expression of the Doctor's wife. Her features held so much pain, so much sadness as she realised what this meant. The first stage in his plan. She had spoken to her husband for only a short time and that could be the last time she would hear his beautiful voice again.
"He's got control of everything." The Doctor said sadly as he spoke to his friends. His hearts heavy as he looked at them with his eyebrows frowned.
"What do we do?" Martha asked as she stared at the TV her arms folded across her chest.
"We've got nowhere to go." Jack said, stating the obvious
"Doctor, what do we do?" Martha asked, taking hold of his hand. One to comfort him, but to also comfort herself.
"We run." The Doctor whispered. Before looking down at Martha and ran though the shipping arcade.
To be continued
