Why, hello again! So, on the last day of 2012 I have decided to post two chapters. Again. Don't get used to this though! This only happens because I don't have access to my laptop over a period of time, but continue to write on my iPod. So yeah - not advisory for me. Also, my school starts up again next week, so things might get a little slower. I will continue to write, however - following my strict schedule of at least one sentence every day. Sounds stupid, but this actually works!

This is another short-butt chapter. Don't worry, the next two are both big'ns!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and the next. More to come as soon as I finish Chapter 17. Enjoy and review~

Chapter 14: Endless

Jack turned a corner and was confronted by another maze of passageways. "Great..."

He put his hand to the wall of the TARDIS, which shuddered in mild disgust. Ever since he had become a fixed point the TARDIS had shown a kind of foreboding around him. Quite ironic really; the only girl in the Universe that Jack could really do with liking him shuddered with disgust at his touch.

"Can't you just help me find her? She tried to kill the Doctor after all!" He moaned at the machine. In response, the TARDIS hummed in a noncommittal manner. "What d'ya mean by that then? She didn't try to kill him? Or is there something I'm not-"

Jack broke off as he saw a flash of ginger turn round a corner ahead of him. "Thanks girl." He called to the TARDIS as he chased Eyphah through a labyrinth of corridors. The girl had extraordinary stamina.

A short while later, he was still chasing her at full pelt. He was sweating heavily and felt himself beginning to slow and tire. "Oh, come on! No human should be able to run like that." The TARDIS hummed at him in confirmation.

"No... Human!"

Jack skidded to a halt suddenly, stopping in his tracks. Sure enough, as if satisfied by this revelation, the TARDIS has moved the corridor Eyphah was hurtling down - moved it so it led straight to Jack.

Before the teen could turn around Jack grabbed her and held her still. Fishing in his pocket with one hand whilst she struggled, he withdrew a small needle. Quickly, he inserted it into her arm and Eyphah went limp.

Jack sighed in relief and picked her up. "Thank you." He said to the TARDIS. She hummed merrily. Looking ahead, Jack saw the control room less than 10 feet away. "Really thank you!" He amended, carrying Eyphah through to the control room.

He placed her unconscious body on the chair within and started pacing, impatiently waiting for the Doctor to return.

River stared into the Time Vortex. It was a never ending tube of whirling colour and light. It was bewildering to say the least - the whole structure seemed chaotic and random, yet at the same time felt ordered and understandable. It was perhaps the oddest sensation River had ever experienced. Well, one of the oddest anyway.

And deep within her mind, some unfinished part of her Time Lord DNA suddenly clicked together. Her true name was revealed to her in a flash of stars behind her eyelids. And she knew then what she had always known to be true - she knew herself.

Opening her eyes once more, she looked out at Time. And a small voice in the back of her head began to whisper, a voice which quickly grew into a deafening roar.

"Run!"

So River Song turned from the Doctor, and ran.

Okay, I've a request for you all. Now that you've read this chapter, can I ask you to help me by checking this fic for any spelling/grammar issues? I've no Beta reader, so any mistakes are due to me typing this late at night on my iPod. I'll fix any if you can find them! Just send me a PM telling me which chapter the error is in and what it is. Thanks a whole bunch!
