What Time Will Tell Chapter 1, a doctor who fanfic

Hiya!

Welcome to my newest ( also first.. shh) fanfic! Now a lot of people do S3 rewrites with Rose, but I'm hoping that I can add a new twist to it, but I'm probably kidding myself and it'll probably turn out to be a mish mash of a million different fanfics... I read a lot okay? And if I do seem to use someone else's lines and/or ideas it's just because I find them brilliant and a total strike of genius! And I promise I won't use loads of it, just a bits and pieces around my own (or at least my own as far as I know, I haven't read all the fanfics in the world.. Yet)

"I'm not leaving you."

"Once the breach collapses, that's it. You will never be able to see her again, your own mother!"

"I already told you, I made my choice a long time ago, I'm never gonna leave you." Rose replied simply, although her voice trembled as she said it.

Knowing he couldn't convince her otherwise The Doctor sighed, digging into his pockets and handed her some rope. "What's this for?" She asked.

"in case it gets too hard to keep holding on." He replied in defeat.

"Sounds good, what can I do to help?"

"Those co-ordinates over there, set them all at six." He pointed to a computer a few feet away. "And hurry up."

Rose ran over to the computer and did as she was told, glancing back at the Doctor, her stomach churning as she saw footage from one of the security cameras. "We've got Cybermen on the way up." She told the Doctor as he ran over to look at the screen. "How many floors down?" "Just one." She replied as they watched the screen showing them Cybermen marching up the stairs. "Then we have to move fast!" He said, handing her a Magnaclamp as he typed in a command on the laptop.

"Levers operational."

The Doctor looked up at Rose and grinned when he saw her tying the rope on to her magnaclamp and around her waist and failing miserably. With a chuckle, he went over to help, stopping when he noticed the reason she was having trouble was that her hands kept shaking so she couldn't tie the rope.

"You don't have to stay." He told her as he wrapped her hands in his, "I mean, it'd be brilliant if you did but you don't have to... He trailed off as Rose maneuvered their hands so she was holding on to his instead.

"Doctor, I promise you, I have thought this through already and I know this is the right choice, the only thing I'm worried about is the fact that you want to talk about this now when we have way more important problems at the moment." She replied as she tried to knot the rope again.

With a sigh the Doctor fixed the knot and attaches her magnaclamp to the wall before placing a kiss to her forehead and running to the opposite wall to place his clamp.

"Okay now press the red button." He called over.

"They're always red aren't they, it's like they want you to press it." She muttered as she pressed the button.

"When it starts, just hold on tight. Shouldn't be too bad for us but the Daleks and the Cybermen are steeped in void stuff. Are you ready?"

Rose nodded, "So are they." She looked pointedly and the window where Daleks had started to gather.

"Let's do it!" The Doctor yelled as they pushed the levers upwards and grab on to the magnaclamps.

"Online"

The area fills with bright, white light and the sound of a strong wind fills the room. The Daleks are sucked through the window, smashing the glass as they are pulled in to the void.

"The breach is open! Into the Void! Ha!" The Doctor yells over the wind.

Rose smiles across at the Doctor as they are billowed by the wind. Suddenly, there is a small explosion of sparks and the lever on Rose's side moves back into the off position. The smiles fade from their faces.

"Turn it on!"

The suction starts to ease. Rose reaches for the lever whilst trying to maintain her grip on the clamp, but it is just slightly too far away. She strains to reach it, to no avail, so she passes her weight onto the lever instead. The Doctor watches, full of dread. Rose whimpers as she struggles with the lever.

"I've gotta get it upright!" Rose says, more to herself than to him.

Rose pushes the lever upwards, groaning with the effort. Finally, she manages to push the lever upright. The Doctor watches with his hearts in his mouth.

"Online and locked."

The suction starts to increase, but now Rose is only holding on to the lever.

"Rose hold on!" The Doctor yells in desperation.

The suction increases even more, making it near impossible for her to keep her grip. She winces and cries out with the effort.

"Hold on!" The Doctor screams.

Rose moans, her strength almost spent, the Doctor stares at her in absolute terror, horribly powerless, reaching out to her in vain. With one last cry, Rose's grip finally slips. She is pulled towards the Void, crying out. The Doctor screams her name as she is pulled away from him. Then the rope pulls tight, stopping her from going any further. They share a moment of pure and utter relief before the rope starts to unravel from the sloppily done knot.

A look of sheer panic passes across the Doctor's face as the rope unravels completely and Rose is once again falling into the Void.

Then there's silence, the breach has closed, and Rose collapses on the floor as the suction is gone and she Is safe.

The Doctor runs over to her, cradling her in his arms while chanting "my Rose, you're safe." Over and over while he crushes her body to his.

Rose wraps her arms around his neck and they stay like that, completely in their own bubble of relief for some time before Rose whispers "let's go home."

Soooo, whaddya think? I know I didn't end off this chapter the way everyone does, as in having something after, like a funeral or having the big goodbye or... something... then having Donna come in but... I liked my ending line and I couldn't have that later. So I think I'm gonna do a inbetween chapter, where it covers the goodbye and Donna arriving so I don't have to have a really long beginning to "The Runaway Bride." Anyway, please review! It would mean so much and I would love to hear your thoughts on my fanfic so far! Love you guys 3
