So so sorry, I know it has been nearly 2 weeks since I've last updated, but life has been way to busy for my liking, and when I did find the time to write, I've had writers block. I feel terrible for keeping you waiting. I'll try to write another chapter today, but I don't know if I can finish it because I have school tomorrow. I really hate Mondays.
Since I was having trouble on this chapter, I wrote two one-shots, which I've posted. They're both completed. I'm gonna write about them in the author's note at the end of this chapter, alright? If you're interested, the chapter summaries of the one-shots are at the bottom.
Reviews are appreciated! Please review!
And without further ado, here is chapter 12 of Companion Pains. Enjoy!


The Doctor practically danced around the console as he flicked switched, singing how Rose alive. Amy watched, happy for him. Her eyes followed him as he moved
"Well, you sure are happy about this," Amy smiled. The Doctor grinned.
"Of course I'm happy!" He practically yelled. "Rose is alive! I l-" he stopped, smile fading a little.
Amy was taken back in surprise. Was he just about to say that he loved Rose? The Doctor, the Doctor she knew, had spoken of Rose Tyler before with great fondness, but she never realized that she was this important to him. She never knew he loved her.
"You love her?" Amy asked. The Doctor looked up at her, an unreadable expression on his face. Amy glanced at the floor. "Ok," she murmured.
"Wait," the Doctor said. "Do you-"
"No!" Amy shouted. "I'm a married woman!"
A strange look appeared on the Doctor's face.
"You're not married to-"
"No!" Amy shouted again. "His name's Rory." There was silence, and Amy scoffed. "G-d, does everything have to be awkward with you?" she demanded. The Doctor shrugged.
"Depends on the day."
Amy rolled her eyes. "Shut up."
Suddenly, something on the screen showing the security video caught her eye. The sound was on mute, otherwise she would have heard it already.
In several images, the Daleks bustled around in large groups. One group stood a strange device, slightly larger than a Dalek.
"Doctor?" Amy called. "The Daleks-"
He stood next to her and flicked a switch. The sound came on.
"-Protect the Genesis Ark!" The Daleks shouted.
"The Genesis Ark?" The Doctor repeated. "What's the Genesis Ark?"
"Doctor?" Amy whispered pointing to another image on the screen. "Look."
The Doctor pressed a button and that image filled the screen.
Some Daleks seemed to be constructing a huge black orb, larger than any object she'd ever seen. And in the area away from the orb, stood the Cult of Skaro, shouting instructions.
"No way," the Doctor whispered.
"What?" Amy asked as she tugged her hair out of the bun, letting it fall over her shoulders.
"They can't be."
"Enough suspense, Doctor!" Amy exclaimed. "This isn't a TV show! What is going on?"
"They're building a Void Ship." The Doctor breathed. "The Daleks are building a Void Ship."


"What did you say?" Rose demanded, fear seeping into her eyes.
"My name's the Doctor," John said calmly.
"You aren't the Doctor," Rose exclaimed. "You can't be!"
"Look, Rose, it's me." John insisted. "Timelords have this trick, as a way of cheating death. When a Timelord is dying, all the cells in their body are changed and healed. But it changes their face and personality."
"You're full of bull-" Rose started to say, but John interrupted her swear
"Rose, some time in your future, I-the Doctor is going to be hurt to the point where he needs to Regenerate." John tugged on his earlobe. "He's going to turn into me."
"You're insane," Rose cried. "Get away from me."
John stepped forwards, and Rose stepped back.
"Rose," he said. "If I wasn't the Doctor, how could I remember this?" He took a deep breath. "The first word I ever said to you. Oh such a long time ago." He was quiet for a moment, as if reminiscing. Then John continued. "I took your hand," he grasped her hand for emphasis. Rose would have pulled away, but she was too scared to. "And I whispered one word. Just one little word." Their eyes met, and Rose saw love in John's eyes. "I said, run."
Rose eyes widened in fear as she yanked her hand out of John's grasp.
"Have you been following us?"
"Rose, if I was some creep following you, how do you think I would have followed you to Christmas of 1869 where you met Charles Dickens as he was surrounded by ghost who weren't actually ghosts? Or when Slitheen took over Downing Street? You met Harriet Jones there. Also, the Prime Minister fell out of a cupboard, dead."
Rose stared at John, completely bewildered.
"Who the hell are you?" Rose demanded.
"I'm the Doctor."
Rose shook her head. "I don't believe you."
John closed his eyes. "I didn't want to do this, but I want you to see me."
Rose stepped back as John approached her.
"What are you doing?"
She was against the wall. John raised his hands and put his fingers to her temples. "What are you doing?" She asked as he closed his eyes.
Her mind was flooded with images of the Doctor as she knew him and John himself. She saw everything. Her eyes widened as an image of the Doctor exploding into golden fire played in her head. After a moment, the fire was gone, leaving John-No, the Doctor-in his place. She let out a little gasp. John took his hands away and opened his eyes. Rose stared at him.
"Doctor?"
He smiled. "Hello, Rose." The Doctor whispered.
The next thing she knew, she had enveloped the Doctor in a hug, tears streaming down her face. She had saw herself being separated from him, and how long its been since he had seen her.
"I love you," Rose whispered her secret, the one she has had for a long, long time.
"I-" He tried to choke it out, but it got caught in his throat.
They hugged for a long time.
Rose pulled away and glanced at the door in surprise as Jack stepped through. She knew who he was too.
"Woah," he cried as Rose wrapped him in a hug. He put his hand on her back and glanced at the Doctor in surprise.
"Did I miss something?"


Donna was still unconscious. Rory attended to her, elevating her legs using his thick jacket like he was taught in medical school. River stood, pacing the cell, watching the guard standing outside the cell.
He was too far away for River to steal his gun, which was attached to his belt.
She glanced at Clara, who watched her intently.
"What?" River asked, speaking softly so the guard couldn't hear her.
"I saw you get away from those guards earlier," Clara told her, quietly also. "I was in that cupboard. You're pretty handy with a gun."
River smiled a bit.
"Thank you," she replied softly. She sat down next to Clara, who murmured under he breath, "Do you have a plan?"
"Not really."
"Maybe I do," Rory whispered quietly. River's eyes widened.
"What is it, father?"
"Father?" Clara asked, glancing back in forth from the young man and River, who looked much older.
"Time travel. It's complicated."
"Yep, since her mother's best friend is her husband."
Clara stared at them strangely.
"Ok, what's the plan?" River asked in an undertone.
Rory pointed to the wall and River and Clara followed with their eyes.
There was a vent in the wall that looked as if Clara could reach.
"Maybe one of us could climb through there."
"Are you joking?" Clara demanded in a hushed tone. "Whoever goes up there could get lost!"
"Well it's better than being trapped in here," Rory battled.
"He's right," River responded quietly. "But it's a small vent. Who'd fit in there?"
River's eyes immediately went to Clara, who's mouth fell open.
"No way," she objected softly before they even asked. "I'm not going in there!"
"You could find the Doctor, and a way out of here," Rory said.
"And you could find away to stop the Silurian from invading the surface," River put in in a hushed tone.
Clara shook her head. "No!"
"Please!" River begged. "I don't see how else we're getting out of this." Clara rolled her eyes.
"I don't have a choice do I?"
"No," Rory replied.
"Not really," said River.
"Fine," Clara said. "What do we do?"
"Ok, I'm going to pull the vent off, but we're going to have to be quick because the guard will notice."
"Not if we use this," River said, pulling a device out of her pocket.
"What is that?"
River smiled. "It's a bomb."
It slowly dawned on Clara. "You're going to distract the guard."
"Yep," River nodded. "Now go."
Rory pulled Donna's unconscious body away from the wall with the vent and got into position to pull it off. Clara got ready to be boosted up. Rory gave a thumbs up to River, who pressed the button on the front, and rolled it through the bars, and down the hall.
Clara tried not to flinch as the bomb exploded. It wasn't a bomb that could collapse a building, just one that makes a lot of noise.
The guard outside their cell ran down the hall. They heard more Silurians coming to the site.
"Now!" Exclaimed River softly. Rory ripped the vent off, the noise hidden by the pounding of feet. The vent cover fell to the floor with a small clatter as River and Rory boosted Clara upward. She grasped the edge of the hole and crawled in and out of sight.
"Good luck," Rory whispered before going to attend to Donna again.
"My g-d, I hope the Doctor is ok," River murmured.


The Doctor was far from ok.
By the time he regained consciousness, Calcon had gone, and two guards were posted outside the room, both holding guns. He was in the same room Calcon tortured him in.
He ached all over. Every place Calcon had shot him burned with pain.
The shackles were still locked around his wrists. He easily could have grabbed something with his feet had he had the energy, but he felt like Calcon had taken it all from him. Just opening his eyes was pure labor.
He let out a shaking breath as he weakly pulled on the chains that held him in place. His entire body ached with the effort of moving, and he fell limp once more.
What was he going to do?
