Back to Our Reality

ONE

OKay guys, new story coming your way. The concept of this has been in my head for a couple of days now, but because I was completing my A-Levels I couldn't write anything down. But here we are, exams now complete, and a brand new story to mark off the occasion. Hopefully, now that it's summer, updates will be a bit more regular (that goes for my other fics as well). But I've always been a bit rubbish with updates, so I can't promise anything.

Anyway, I hope you like this. Please let me know what you think. I love hearing from you.

Bye for now

Emma :)

"ROSE, HOLD ON!"

The Doctor watched as Rose began to pull away from the mangaclamp, reaching out for her lever which was quickly falling back to the 'offline' position. Daleks and Cybermen, once hurtling into the Void in a blur, were now slowing down. There was no telling what would happen if their plan failed and one of either species was able to escape.

"I'VE GOTTA GET IT UP RIGHT!"

He knew she was right, but he didn't like what he was seeing. His hearts were beating faster than he could ever remember. If she slipped then she would follow the Daleks and the Cybermen into the Void: into hell.

The Doctor watched, unable to do anything without slipping himself, as Rose pushed as hard as she could against the pull of the Void, eventually managing to get the lever into its rightful position. The strength of the pull began to increase again and the Doctor could do nothing but scream at Rose to hold on as she started to be pulled towards the opening.

In a heartbeat, she was horizontal, holding on to the lever with everything she had. But it wasn't enough; she was being pulled towards the opening, her fingers slipping until she was holding on by just the tips of her fingers.

It was only a matter of time until she couldn't hold on any longer and with one last look across at the Doctor, looking at her with panic in his eyes, her fingers slipped and she found herself hurtling towards the Void, the Daleks and Cybermen now long gone.

The Doctor screamed her name. There was nothing he could do. Rose; his Rose, was falling into the Void; towards her death and there wasn't a thing in the universe he could do to save her.

The Doctor wasn't one for believing in miracles, but just this once, he let himself believe he had been witness to one. Out of nowhere, Pete Tyler arrived, grabbing Rose before she fell.

She turned around one last time and the Doctor could do nothing other than look back at her before Pete disappeared as quickly as he had arrived, only this time, taking Rose with him.

She was gone and the Doctor knew that he only had seconds before the Void closed forever; seconds before he knew he could never see her again.

His hand had already made it to the pocket of his suit jacket, it had moved there just before Pete had taken Rose back with him; his reflexes being slightly ahead of his brain.

With only seconds before the Void would be closing, the Doctor's fingers touched the round disc of the dimension jump. After Rose had taken it off when she returned from safety, the Doctor had picked it up again, thinking he might need it had the opportunity to save Rose had come round again.

Everything from then on seemed to be automatic. The Doctor's fingers suddenly applied presser to the yellow button in the middle of the disc and, before his brain could even register what had happened, the Doctor found himself falling to the ground in a heap on the floor.
