A/N: Haven't updated in donkeys have I? Oh well thought I would for those of you who want to know where I left Rose which seems like an eternity since she decided to move against the bustling people isn't it.
Ah well let's continue shall
Disclaimer: I own nothing although one can dare to dream can't one…
Pushing slowly past the bustling people Rose squeezed hastily through the milling crowd. Why hadn't she grabbed the doctor before leaving the TARDIS or better yet why hadn't she stood still. There was too much adventure inside of her bursting to be free. There was too much of him trapped inside her.
Although the people weren't paying the slightest bit of attention she couldn't help mutter apologies as she brushed past and sidled through the crushing throng of people. Quietly nodding and stumbling over the feet beneath her own as they walked the opposite way many a time Rose nearly losing her balance and being pushed back the direction she was desperately trying to avoid. She kept feeling her feet being pulled up from beneath her.
This was harder than she had imagined. She had to be near the end soon.
Stumbling again she apologised to a expressionless woman in a suit who rose to her feet and continued walking as if Rose wasn't there.
"Sorry!" Rose, rising to her tiptoes she shouted over the milling heads the crowd continued moving. Manners never hurt anyone.
She continued shuffling through the crowd trying to prevent her from walking the way the Doctor had told her. Taking a heavy breathe she continued. A barest hint of slowing as she continued. She was becoming tired from the continuous pushing against the onslaught of bodies coming against her.
"Ok big fella, tell me where she is…" The Doctor muttered twisting a handle slowly, "Now." The main column twitched feebly but the TARDIS remained silent.
Verging on kicking the contraption he contained his anger and swung away from the control panel to take a deep breathe. Instead he walked over to the door.
"One more time." He sighed heavily.
He wrenched the door open wishing with everything he could muster she would be standing behind it smiling safe and happy.
A wall of black obstructed his view. Nothing beyond the door just a blackness, a deep pulsing somewhere from within it, the want for Rose to be somewhere nearby controlled his need to be careful. He cautiously reached out his hand dipping into the abyss in front of him. A thick smoke engulfed his fingers, he felt a strong force begin to tighten around his fingers. The smoke began to creep up his palm tightening more and more as it moved slowly up to his wrist.
The darkness began to move around the door.
"No!" He gasped fumbling with his pocket with his free hand stumbling to catch his breathe. The smokey matter was invading the TARDIS. "Come on!" He hissed as he continued to fumble futilely.
An image of Rose flashed through his mind… what if she was walking towards that, what if the next plane was like this.
She'd be crushed with no escape.
Although the sudden fear that made his stomach fill with an icy tingle he realised he couldn't save her if the TARDIS was taken over by this dark matter. His finger were tightened so much he felt his temples throb.
"Come on!" He shouted as he produced his sonic screwdriver. He shone the light on the dark smoke that had now reached his elbow it shrank but only slightly.
He needed the TARDIS, the light from the TARDIS would drive the matter away. But if only he could shut the door to prevent the matter invading further. The weight of the black smoke forced the doctor to crash to his knees. "Be safe Rose." He muttered.
Fatigue wore heavily on her as she continued to twist and push between the bodies anxiously pent up ball of fear trapped in her chest preventing her inhaling as well as she could.
Then, Rose saw a misty white light ahead of her between the shuffling bodies. The exit… she raised her arms in front of her battling against the people, they were coming from that light… it might take her back to the Doctor somehow…
With a last burst of energy she propelled herself through the last barrage of people into the white light not thinking of anything else but doing as the doctor had told her. So she could right her wrong and find him.
The white smoking light engulfed her and she felt herself become light headed and her body swelled as she moved weightlessly through the light. Her body became lighter and she almost floated through the vaporous atmosphere.
Then she snapped back feeling hard ground beneath her feet her legs so used to being weightless buckled and she collapsed onto a leafy floor.
Heat engulfed her body.
She vaguely remembered the sensation from opening the TARDIS doors to this rainforest plane… was she closer to the doctor… she jammed her hands into her pocket and produced her mobile phone and punched the number she had memorised.
After managed to undo his shoe lace right-handedly while hopping to trying to ignore the crushing feeling around his left arm and shoulder he lifted his shoe feebly and brought it back careful not to touch the dark matter near the door.
Throwing with all the strength he could muster and putting as much weight behind it as he could the shoe clattered off the control panel of the TARDIS.
"OI!" He yelled. "Fancy doing something about this?" He asked raising his arm at the smoke that had now crept across the TARDIS ceiling moving dangerously close the main column and TARDIS centre.
A blue light flashed angrily.
"It's going to crush you!" He cried helplessly knowing that what he said didn't matter it would register the panic, the impending danger. "PLEASE!" he yelled all feeling lost in his fingers and arm now.
The main column sprung to life and a white incandescent light filling the room with a blindingly hot blast.
Wow that was a load of twaddle wasn't it. Let me know what you think.
