Fun fact Doctor Nine is my favorite doctor. (: ok now on to the story <3

Rachelle's POV

Tino claimed a room which left one room for both of Danny And I to decide what would it be. I wanted the bed but I didn't want to lay next to a hairy British man. It was drafty in the room and I was shivering quite a bit as I sat in the corner giving him the cold glare."

"Just lay in bed with me Shelle, I need something to hold."

"Hold the pillow."

"Why won't you just accept it? You're shivering and there is enough room.."

"I promised myself I would never sleep in a bed with another man,"

This caused him to roll his eyes. "So where are you going to sleep."

I looked down at the ground, "I guess the back seat if the car."

"Alan's heater broke though,"

"I'll be fine."

I stood up and began to walk to the front door when I heard Danny sigh and follow me. He softly grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"It's snowing Rachelle, you're going to get frost bite. The cold might kill you.

Tears threatened to spill once again but I kept a straight face. "Then so be it."

I grabbed a few blankets and ran out to the car.

I opened the car door and laid blankets down the cuddled up into them. My eyes were wide open as I heard the howls of the wind and wolves. A familiar scent came to me and a few tears began to shed. I looked around and looked for him but he wasn't there. He wouldn't be there.

I sighed as I rolled over. I drifted off to sleep and let dreams take over.

"Shelle, Shelle, Shellie!"

I opened my eyes and saw his beautiful face look at me.

"Austin?"

"Hey beautiful, I miss you."

I began to choke on my words.. "You're here? You're alive?"

He shook his head. "I'm still dead and this is sadly a dream but I want you to know something... I am always there, I'm there when you pray, I'm there when you want to murder a tiger, I'm there when you cry. I will always be here."

I felt my body jolt into a sob, "baby, why can't you be physically here? I need you so much."

"Shh, Shellie babe it was my time to go, the Riganda found me worthy. I'll be waiting for you when it is your turn to go, it's not yet though."

I sighed. He held both of my hands. "Why are you in the car, go sleep in Worsnops arms, you need to be protected. He has been doing a good job so far."

"He's not you."

"He doesn't have to be. You both lost someone. Go to him."

"But Austin..."

"Go, You are not going to be stubborn and freeze to death, I don't want you to die like that."

I nodded. A tear fell down my face and he wiped it away.

"Stay strong for me."

"I always will."

"I love you."

"I love you too Austin."

"Now wake up."

My body jumped up in a jolt. I grabbed the blanket and sprinted inside the house. It was warmer inside. I looked at the clock and saw I had been out there for five hours. I walked into the room Danny slept in and heard soft snores come from him. I crawled in on the other side of the bed. Danny woke up slightly and gasped.

"Just me Danny,"

He rubbed his face then pulled me in and held me forcing my head into his chest. He rubbed my arms to keep me warm."

"Go to sleep love."

"I'm not you're love," I retorted with a yawn. This caused him to chuckle as we both fell asleep.

--

The next morning I woke up in nobody's arms. I sat up and rubbed my eye. I slowly stretched and got out, I found a note from Danny saying he went to go find pop tarts.

I dropped the note then walked into the kitchen. I stole a few boxes of apple cider mix so that would be ok.

As I walked into the kitchen I saw a magazine held up in the air with a steaming cup of coffee in front of him.

"Morning Tino," I said cherry.

"Guess again sweetheart," A familiar voice teased.

I dropped a mug and it broke.

"MATT!!"

He laughed and held open his arms. I hugged him so tight. He held me back. "I'm so fucking happy you're alive Shelle," he whispered.

"Same to you."

"Seen any Riganda up here?"

"How do you know there names?"

"The news, and one landed on me a few months ago.."

"Not many-- wait a minute, shouldn't you be dead if a Riganda landed on you."

"For awhile I was I guess, I remember dropping dead in front of Oli but then I wound up alive in the middle of Wyoming. I "died" in Sheffield. Makes no bloody sense to me."

My eyebrows crunched together.

"Can I do a bloody test and x-ray on you later today?"

"Sure why not."

--

As we caught up and Tino and Dan came back with a lot of shit, we all prepared to go the hospital. I was going to conduct an experiment on all our blood and the latex/rubber.

"Since when were you educated in sciences?" Danny asked as I drove I the hospital, "I got a masters in Forensics and medical."

"And you became an actress because?"

"I didn't want to do my parents dream for me, I wanted to do what I wanted to do. "

"Awesome."

I pulled up to the hospital and I clutched on the breaks. We all made it out and Danny handed everyone windshield wipers. Matt looked at us all like we were clinically insane and Tino just pierced his lips and nodded.

We made it into the hospital and slowly made it to a blood testing room. I opened up a package of a needle and plucked me first.

"Who's next?"

They all looked back and forth at eachother, none of them were thrilled about what was going on.

"Are you kidding me? You're all covered in tattoos and none of you will take a blood sample?"

"I'll go," Danny said finally.

He sat in a chair as I washed him up. I jabbed the needle and gathered enough blood, then I put latex bandages on him. I took Tinos blood next, then Matt's.

I pored all of our blood into test tubes and stared as the computer monitor began to show each blood sample.

I then found something strange in Matt's blood stream that wasn't in any of of ours.

"Eureka..."
