Tooth and Claw - Two

"Come on!" Rose shouted at the pair while running down the hallway the Doctor watching the wolf in awe Rita standing waiting for him.

"Doctor!" she shouted just before the wolf threw part of its cage at the man who ducked under it grabbing Rita's hand and rushed out the room locking the door with the sonic screwdriver after him, The Doctor and Rita raised down the hall after Rose. They both catch up to Rose who was with the rest of the people from the cellar in a room as Sir Robert handed out guns and orders to the men.

"Arms, and you five. Ready, everyone?" he asked the men, the Doctor and Rita ran up to Rose. "I thought you both died!" she hit Rita and the Doctors arms

"Not today Rose" Rita smiled "Had to make sure he got out with his head" Rita pointed her thumb at the Doctor. "You may like your thumb but you look better with your head attached to your body" Rita shook her own head.

"What is it though Doctor?" Rose asked while he used the sonic screwdriver to remove the shackles off the girls.

"It could be any form of light modulated species triggered by specific wavelengths." he shook his head still unsure.

'Think Doctor' Rita thought

"Did it say what it wanted?" He looked at them both.

"The Queen, the Crown, the throne - you name it." she shook her head confused as to why.

the three heard a crash, the Doctor ran back to the hall to see what it was guessing most likely the wolf Rita sighed shaking her head before following staying behind the corner and peeking out to see the Doctor standing there still watching the wolf what was growling and sending daggers at him with its eyes. The wolf then began to ran the Doctor didn't move What are you doing?! She thought to widen her eyes as the wolf came closer not thinking she ran out and grabbed his hand jolting him back and pulling him with her "Come on!" She shouted rolling her eyes and running as fast as she could. "One day you're going to get yourself killed because you think something looks pretty!" They ran back to where a line of men was pointing guns in there direction, not at them, though. The Doctor pulled Rose back behind him along with Rita keeping them both behind him while he stood behind them, men.

"Fire!" the man in the middle shouted as the wolf came into sight. "Fire!" he repeated while they shot at the wolf. The wolf then dived the corner escaping some of the bullets, Rita knew it wasn't over and she could see that the Doctor and possibly Rose also realised just that.

The Doctor ordered the men lined up: "All right, you men. We should retreat upstairs. Come with me." he told them.

"I'll not retreat." the man in the middle told the Doctor, Rita gritted her teeth knowing what was to happen next. "The battle's done. There's no creature on God's Earth that could survive such an assault."

"How do you know that?" Rita said through her gritted teeth.

"It's impossible," he told her.

"Nothing is impossible, the Doctor is trying to save your life!" she shouted her eyes blazing at the man.

"You girl" he pointed right in her face. "You do not have the authority to tell me what to do!"

"authority my a-"

"I'm telling you" the Doctor spoke calmly, much calmer than he did in the episode. "Come upstairs"

"And I'm telling you, sir," he started to walk away from the group towards the corridor, Rita went to try and stop him only to be pulled back by the Doctor, she looked up and could see the sadness in his eyes. Is this what it's like? she thought.
