Summary: What would have happened if Rose had fallen into the Void at the end of Doomsday? This is my take on it!
A/N: First I would like to say that this is my first fanfic and I am very excited about it, I have quite a bit written already so updates should come steady. I would also like to note that I am not great with some of the British stuff but I am working on it. I live in Oklahoma so it is a bit of a challenge to fit that into writing. I would love reviews and suggestions or constructive criticism. I have no beta on this yet so be kind if there are grammar issues, but please let me know about it! Anywho enough of this and on the the good stuff! Read on and I hope that you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who in any way shape or form, that honor goes to the BBC. :-(
The Void
Prologue
Rose and the Doctor were hanging on to the magnaclamps at Canary Wharf, watching as Cybermen and Daleks went flying past them into the breach. Both were slightly struggling to hold on. Rose turned to smile at the Doctor across from her. She had chosen this life, her mum would be happy with Pete and would be safe. That was all she needed to know. Sparks from the lever behind her got her attention and she turned just in time to see the lever slowly go to the "off" position. She stopped smiling and her and the Doctors faces locked. She watched as the Cybermen and Daleks slowed down half of the speed they were originally going.
"Offline." The computers monotone voice informed them.
"Turn it on!" She hardly heard the Doctor yell to her over the noise.
Rose nodded and tried to reach for the lever. Grunting it was just out of her reach. Letting out a frustrated sigh she reached a little further, losing hold of her grip on the magnaclamp and falling on the lever, grabbing hold to it with all she had.
The Doctor had watched with a horrified expression the entire time. Once she had a hold of the lever the Doctor let out a small sigh of relief. He watched as his brave companion struggled to push the lever up to the proper position. Once Rose locked the lever back into place he thought that his heart was going to stop right there. The speed suddenly picked back up to its full strength.
"Online and locked." The computer informed them, its calm voice reflecting the complete opposite of how the Doctor and Rose felt at that moment.
The Doctor watched, feeling completely useless as he watched Rose desperately hang on to the lever.
"Hold on!" He yelled to her. Feeling both his hearts leap into his throat.
Rose could feel herself slipping. She glanced at the Doctor and tried not to cry when she locked eyes with him. Her Doctor. Another finger slipped, and she held her breath and squeezed her eyes shut. She could feel herself slowly being pulled to the void. She felt everything move in slow motion, and she knew that this was it. Somehow she knew that the Doctor wasn't going to be able to save her this time. Rose could feel tears streak down her face. She could see him trying to tell her something but she couldn't hear it over the pounding of her heart. There were only a few fingers hanging on and the grip wasn't very strong. Another second later and her grip was gone.
"Rose!" The Doctor yelled. Both hearts now feeling like they had come to a complete stop. He watched her getting sucked into the breach. Watched her grasp trying in vain to hold onto something. All he could do was watch while his beautiful Rose Tyler fell into the void.
Rose had her eyes on the Doctor. Now that she was about to die she could feel a change with in her. She looked back at the breach. She was almost there. She didn't want it to end like this. She was supposed to be with the Doctor. Now she was ending her song in time with the Cybermen and Daleks. It wasn't fair, she gave up everything to be with him, and this is what she got in return. It was amazing how much of her life was able to flash before her eyes in a second, and she smiled. The Doctor had made her life absolutely fantastic. Glancing back up at the Doctor she saw him now trying to reach for her.
"Doctor I lo – " Was all she was able to get out before the breach sucked her into the void.
"No!" The Doctor howled.
He was just about to let go of the magnaclamp to try and rescue her, having reasoned with himself that if there was anyone in any universe that could rescue her from the breach it was him. Right before he was about to let go the breach began to close in on its self. There was a white flash, and then the breach crinkled up before it too was sucked into the void.
After the wind stopped, everything went back to normal. Like nothing had ever happened. But something had. He. Lost. Rose. His brain had started to shut down. He wasn't able to register what had happened. Finally he realized that there was someone else in the room with him. He glanced to his right, and was somewhat shocked to see Pete Tyler standing there just staring at the Doctor, like he knew what had just happened.
"Where is Rose?" The Doctor heard him ask.
All the Doctor could do was walk past him to the large looming white wall in front of him.
"Doctor?"
The Doctor laid his hands against the wall and leaned his body against the wall. Looking like he was listening.
Pete took in the Doctors pained features. He sighed. Jackie was not going to like this. He tried hitting his dimension jumper. Taking another sigh when it wouldn't work.
"Doctor I can't get back." Pete told him.
The Doctor stood in the same spot motionless. Pete walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. The Doctor didn't move.
"Doctor?"
