He could hear The Doctor's heartbeat although it sounded strange, a probable sign that he was definitely dreaming./p

He grabbed her arms and looked at her pale face. "Rose what's wrong?!" He didn't know if it was the rain or tears causing the mascara to run down her cheeks./p

"Doctor there the Elf, Drannor! They're killing him!."/p

His eyes went wide and he immediately rushed into action trying to make his way through the crowd whilst trying to shout over them to stop./p

He continued to make his way over but panic filled him again as he saw the guards pull Drannor up and the Executioner heating up a large metal hook over the flames. The Doctor then pieced together what they were planning to do to the elf./p

Anger filled him, no one should have to die like this and he very much doubted that the punishment fitted the crime. He finally made it to the scaffolding and guards came to stop him. He quickly flashed his psychic paper at the guards. "I come on orders from the king! This Elf has been pardoned! This has to stop! Now!" The Doctor pushed past them now as the executioner finally turned around taking notice of him./p

"What's the meaning of this?! Who are you?!" The Doctor glared at the Captain, he was growing impatient now and wanted to get to Drannor. "The King has ordered for this to stop!" He flashed the psychic paper at the Captain and pushed past him marching towards Drannor now. /p

Hadir roared at The Doctor. The Doctor merely continued walking. "I can and I will!" He looked at the guards. "In the name of the king let go!" he barked and immediately caught Drannor as his legs gave away./p

It never failed to stun him how cruel beings could be to others and their own kind. He quickly took off his jacket and wrapped the Elf in it before picking him up and walking away from the scaffolding. The captain tried to stop him but he merely glared at him in warning. The oncoming storm was here and they had better tread lightly./p

Rose rushed about helping the doctor to get Drannor to the medical bay. She stayed by Drannor's side once the doctor left to put the tardis into orbit around the planet. "God how could anyone do this to someone." She mumbled as she tucked the sheets around the elf and moved the hair that was stuck to his face away./p

"He'll be alright, won't he? He'll live?" He nodded. "He'll live, he'll be healed soon enough physically anyway...It's his mind we have to worry about Rose. I'm not sure if mentally he'll manage to recover."/p

"He will Doctor, I know it. You'll see, you an me we'll help him." The Doctor smiled sadly at Rose and walked over hugging her tightly. "Maybe just, Maybe with you and me Rose Tyler, he'll Recover." He kissed her head and then pulled back gently, patting her arms. "Go get some rest, I'll keep an eye on him."/p

"You'll come an get me if he wakes up, Yeah?." The Doctor nodded and crossed both hearts on his chest with his finger./p
