The void, Time Lords and saving people.

Chapter eleven:

Disclaimer sadly

Oh and thank you to all that have followed, faved and reviewed, it is much loved and much appreciated, here, have a virtual TARDIS.

Once the console exploded in a large shower of sparks, the whole ship started to shake and lurch violently, throwing Rose away from the main console and smashing her back against one of the outer control panels with yell on pain from her. Around her all sorts of alarms started blaring and the time rotor started to make loud stuttering noises, the entire ship was going mad. She could feel her TARDIS panicking through their bond, she could just make out that something was forcefully and quite violently dragging them across time and space, something that should of never been and something that shouldn't exist any more, and a choice that must be made only by her. That was all she was able to get out of the panicked time ship before it was too muddle to understand. As soon as she finally manger to stand up, she somehow made it to the main console and started furiously flipping switches, pressing buttons and throwing levers all in vain to get some control over her ship.

Only seconds after the TARDIS warned her that the were about to crash did the impact happen, it was so strong that she was flung at an insane speed towards the doors that were for some reason open. She only had her eyes open for a fraction of a second after she unintentionally exited her TARDIS but it was enough to see it was mostly dark green and brown and grey. When she snapped her eyes closed, she curled into a ball in mid-air as best and fast as she could and prepared for impact.

When Rose did hit the ground, she went down right shoulder first and rolled, yelling out in pain as she went when she bashed her head on something and several bones probably broke. When she did finally come to a stop, she slowly uncurled, basically every thing hurt especially her head the shoulder she landed on, she suspected it was defiantly dislocated, most likely a break or fracture, bad wolf also had made her harder to break so she wasn't to sure of the damage done. She attempted to get up off the ground but failed about half way up when she opened her eyes, the world was a spinning grey, green and brown mess with black spots swimming around in it, and about five seconds after she opened her eyes, the world went black and she crashed back to the ground.

When Rose finally started to regain consciousness, her head and shoulder was throbbing and she was face first in the dirt. She let out a long groan and slowly move herself so she was sitting up, placing her hands ether side of her self, and slowly opened her eyes. The world had stopped spinning thankfully and it was wasn't very bright, twilight-ish time, morning or night though, she couldn't tell, head still to muddled.

Thought the fear-filled, ear piercing scream did help to clear it a bit.

Almost falling over several times in the process, Rose managed to get to her feet and run towards where she heard the sound from, also almost falling over a few time and completely missing the two meter long, slightly glowing crack in the ground that she landed about four meters from. After a minuet of clumsy running where she had somehow managed to slip on her gas mask, that she had thankfully put in her pocket, and turn it on, she started to hear growls that were accompanied by smaller shrieks, from three different people at once and the sounded like they were from small children. Finally, she came to a small clearing where the noises were coming from and saw three little kids, two girls and a boy, and one of the weirdest looking aliens she had ever seen backing them up against a wall.

First off the thing was bright red and about a meter and a half long, she couldn't see it's face but the body looked like one of those giant prehistoric centipede but with thick hairs coming out at each section of the shell, each of the legs along its body split into three quite long and sharp-looking talons and it would have come just above her knee in height when it wasn't rearing up, where it came up around her hips.

Much taller than the children, she actually had to do a double take on them. She could remember something, almost remember something from when she was little, some where around when she was nine years old. A news report, two little six-year old's from Leadworth got lost in a forest near there town and there remains were found a few days later, after watching that she had felt betrayal, sadness and anger and didn't talk to any one for a solid three days, she never did figure out why.

But now she knew that it was because of this moment, echoing back through time, she must of let them die last time, but she wouldn't this time, this moment was in flux, a very large tipping point, like a Saturday when she was a teen, what she did then chose the rest of the coming week. This time thought, she was going to save them, the adorable ginger girl, the scrawny blond boy in front holding a large stick like sword, telling them to run as if he had a chance against the thing and the dark-skinned girl who wasn't in there last time, which was very interesting actually.

All this ran through Rose's head in seconds and as the thing dived for the three and before she really knew what she was doing, she was running at them and jumped on top of the red monster, bringing it to the ground before it had reached the kids. Of course it couldn't just come nicely with no fight, nah, not much of a story if it just did that.

So the thing reared up, forcing Rose to wrap her arms around it and hold on for dear life. It toppled backwards on to Rose, landing on her bad shoulder and making her cry-out in pain but she still hung on, wrapping her legs around it as well for good measure. It was certainly a strong little sod cause it managed to get itself back onto its long claw-legs with her still on its back and started scuttling away with her to the nearest tree, rearing up again, it started bashing her up against it to shake her off.

Each collision with the tree sent a new wave of pain through Rose's body until she finally yielded to it and the pain and let go, falling on her back. She watched as the thing turned round and and leaned down so it's face was a few centre meters from hers and she had to say, it was absolutely beautiful, well, in a 'oh my god Doctor, it's a big bloody ugly alien that's try to kill us, why the heck are you complimenting it' sort of way, but all the same, gorgeous. It had one large eye that was all black in the middle of its small head and a mouth that sort of looked like a cartoon piranha that was leaking bright green goo.

Rose was powerless to do any thing to save her self, the pain was just to great, so she closed her eyes, whispered an apology to the Doctor along with an 'I love you' and waited for the blow that would end this incarnation, well, that was the plan but before the thing could actually do any thing though.

Thwack!

Something hit it and she heard in crash to the ground to her left with a surprised, pain-filled, high-pitched shriek. Rose's eyes snapped open and she quickly looked to her left to see the little blond boy break the large stick over the things head, silencing its continues squawks and stopping the many flailing claws.

She laid there stunned for a few seconds before she slowly and painfully getting to her feet, breathing out strings of curses in Gallifreyan as she did. Once up, she brought out her sonic screwdriver and scanned the thing finding out that it was not dead, just unconscious, this was good, this meant she could find out what the heck it was.

"Nice one kid," she said to the boy who still looked like couldn't believe what just happened.

Around half an hour later, the thing was in an isolation room being monitored by Brainy and Nurse with Gun-slinger guarding the room incase it woke up and tried to escape. Nurse, ever the over caring one, forced her to have a check up, and she did in fact have a dislocated right shoulder, which was easily and painfully fixed, a few hair-line fractures all over it and a minor concussion, a part from that, she had some nasty bruising all over her body, not to bad she guessed.

The three children, Amelia Pond the ginger, Rory Williams the blond boy and Melody or 'Mels' with no last the dark skinned girl, she had jumped them to the day before the were to be found, the memories had already changed in Rose's head by the end of the fight so she went off that.

Now she standing over the main console after about two hours of sleep felling rubbish but pretty good about her self.

"You know what?" She asked to know one "Agatha Christie, let's go visit Agatha Christie," she said, thinking out loud and started moving around the console.

Like? Love? Hate? ... Are you in need of OPT death or break up strength brain bleach? Any way, please review.
