~.A.N.~ HEY! NEXT CHAPTER IS THE FINALE CHAPTER! THEN WE MOVE TO BOOK 2

Angel's Cry Compound

Doctor POV

" WHO ARE YOU! Where is Brawnson!" The small girl screeched, Alexandra seemed to move faster than sound, she disappeared then reappeared in front of the girl.

My gut knotted, the gleam in those violet eyes that I loved seemed to hold the malice of murder within them, she couldn't, she wouldn't! I was going to yell out to her to stop, to not hurt the girl, but all Alexandra did was simply put her thumb on the girl's forehead.

"Sofa barn, ekki hreyfa ekki," Alexandra's voice was like the gentle touch of the wind on my cheek, mothering and soft.

The girl went limp in Alexandra's, laying her gently on the floor she turned to me pulling the survival knife from the sheath and sliced away the ties that bound me. Her face was dirty and smudged, her hair was speckled with some black dirt of ash of some sort, she gingerly twisted her wrist as though it was hurt. It was obvious that she had taken a beating she never would be the same again, she wouldn't be able to see the world in the same way ever again. But maybe that was a good thing, traveling with me or even staying with Jack in Cardiff she would see and experience things that were far worse than what she just went through. She might even get some sense into her head that traveling with me or even being a timelord wasn't just a walk in the park, Alexandra would be haunted by what she sees or what other people have to see.

" Doctor! We have to go! We don't have time to waste!" she was pulling on my sleeve and I could tell from her voice that she had been talking to me for a while and I was just lost in thought.

We were running, which through all my adventures with my friends it wasn't so strange for me to be running but why did she come after me? Why try to come and rescue me from these people, why couldn't she just live in Chiswick with her family and forget about me. We busted out of this hell hole of a compound and I saw Jack and then Ianto by the Torchwood jeep.

Alexandra POV

I didn't care how angry he was at me or what he was going to do to me once we got back to the TARDIS, hopefully he wasn't going to leave me in Chiswick... I whimpered making the Doctor look down at me. I could feel his powerful glare boring into me angry coming off of him in thick waves making me shiver in fear, Jack was staring down the Doctor at the same time, the angry electricity that flowed between the two of the them made me flinch.

" Ok guys we can't keep having a pissing contest! We have to get going," Ianto growled tugging Jack into the car then I shoved the Doctor in as well wincing.

At some point during the raid I had my calf cut, it was rather deep and hurt a lot, I limped into the car sitting beside Ianto who saw the blood making the outfit cling to my leg, he let a low almost silent hiss. He lifted up my leg to his lap, again I winced because my muscles weren't too happy to bend that way, he took the black fabric of my pant leg and began to roll it up my leg. Since the blood had already started to dry it ripped away my partial scab, I felt the air hit my open cut and I almost screamed, it was a sharp burning that attacked my nerves and took the fast track straight to my brain. Ianto frowned deeply as Jack and the Doctor started to argue and he started to treat it by pulling out some water and rinsing the wound with water which again caused the itching burning feeling, tears pooled in my eyes threatening to spill over.

" Shhh... I know it hurts Alexandra, it'll go away soon," Ianto said calmly as he dabbed my cut with a clean rag, the Doctor turned and saw my injury.

His eyes got wide and I looked at him then hung my head down, " Alex...no..."

I whimpered as Ianto pressed down harder and I felt ashamed, " I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Ianto kept tending to my cut and at some point we got to the Torchwood base, I turned about to slide out of the car but the Doctor caught me picking me up. I yelped surprised as he carried me bridal style keeping me snug to his chest, I immediately felt much more relaxed as I started to drift off being in his warm embrace.

Two hours later

A gentle numbness was in my hurt leg, it was such a strange feeling and I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, my mind was cloudy from some sort of drug, I opened my eyes and could see a foggy outline or Rory bent over the my legs. He was wearing what seemed to be a soft sea foam green scrubs with a surgical mask on, I tried to tilt my head to the side in confusion but I wasn't able too, my heart rate began to pick up, I was restrained and I didn't like it. There was a loud beeping that seemed to be tracking my heart rate as it climbed and fell, it quickened dramatically quick making Rory look up at the monitor his voice suddenly called out to some unseen people.

" She's going into cardiac arrest!" Rory said to someone.

Then there was a hand wrapped in mine and the soothing voice of my beloved Doctor, I tried to smile, " Relax Alexandra, deep breaths, you'll be just fine."

The beeping from the monitor returned to a normal level even if it was slightly fast, whatever they were doing to me it was obviously very important to the Doctor and Rory, where was Amy? It was very unlike her to leave Rory alone to do anything that involved the Doctor, soon the drug induced fogginess was gone and pain came to me, Rory came up towards my face and started to undo leather straps that bound me down to a cold surgical table.

"Wha' 'appened?" I asked groggily as the Doctor helped me sit up slowly.

" We had to stitch up your leg from that cut you got, I'm amazed that you stayed under as long as you did," Rory said washing his hands and putting his wedding ring back on.

"oh... where's Amy?" I said still groggy, all this talking was giving me a headache, then I noticed that the Doctor wouldn't look at me, " Doctor?"

He turned away more so that his whole face from hidden from me, I heard Rory sigh behind me as he slipped out of the room and I grabbed the Doctors arm gently tugging on the cuff of his coat. He turned, sorrow and pain filled his eyes making my heart drop.

"Doctor...No..." I shook my head, he was blaming himself, " Don't you dare, don't you dare blame yourself! I went there after you knowing that I could get hurt."

" Alexandra! I'm not worth it! I'm not worth dying for! The world, no the universe wouldn't miss me if I was gone. There would be no change!" The Doctor said shaking my shoulders.

" Doctor I have seen everything you've done, the people you've helped, the universe certainly doesn't agree that you can die. The stars are screaming, 'Doctor don't go, you can't die.' You put balance to his insanity with your own, I have never seen him as happy as he is with you."

I smiled more as I made the Doctor put me down, I wrapped my arms around him hugging him tightly, I would never ever let him go. He was stunned at first but then he gently hugged me back resting his chin on the top of my head, when he let me go I go on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek. Maybe there is some hope for me and the Doctor, just maybe...Frankly I agree, there was no way that I would leave you there, I would pay whatever price to keep you safe because I know that you would do the same," I used your arms to pull me up to a standing position testing out my leg.

It hurt and I tried to hide it but then I was pleased flush against the Doctors body as he made me hold on to his back giving me a piggyback ride. I blushed furiously as we soon left the scary surgical room stepping out into the hallways of the TARDIS, I felt completely at home, there was no way I belonged anywhere but in here. The Doctor carried me to the main room and I hid my face in the Doctors back not wanting anyone to see him carrying me around like I was a child. Because I wasn't a child!

" Oh little one, it pleases me that you are back, and that you brought the Doctor back with you, I don't know what would happen if he didn't come back," I felt the TARDIS's soft voice in my head, " Also I assure you that he doesn't think that you are a child, you are like his queen, he his king and the universe is your kingdom."
