I'm so sorry there has been a massive pause between the last two chapters of 'Cold Blood' and this one. I have once again been incredibly busy... Theres just no other excuse apart from that. *shrug* with that out of the way, lets get into it!

Hollie groaned, head on the table as Eldane and Nasreen continued to talk about their differences rather than how both species could live on Earth. "We lived on the surface of the planet long before you did," Eldane told them. "Our sole purpose has been to return to our rightful place."

"And we've got a planet that can't already sustain the people who live there. And you want to add a whole other species to drain resources." "So, what about the areas that aren't habitable to us?" Amy asked, standing up as Eldane pressed a button and a hologram of the Earth appeared in the middle of the table between them. "Australian outback," she pointed at it and then to another location. "Sahara desert, Nevada plains. They're all deserted."

"Yes, fine, but what happens when their population grows and breeds and spreads?" She replied. "And anyway, what benefit does humanity get, and how will we ever sell this to people on the surface?"

Hollie loudly groaned in annoyance as Eldane huffed slightly. "If I could get a word in, maybe I could tell you." Nasreen and Amy both kept their mouths shut and looked at the Silurian. "You give us space, we can bring new sources of energy, new methods of water supply, new medicines, scientific advances." Hollie slowly began to raise her head off the table and watched as Eldane spoke and Nasreen actually kept quiet. "We were a great civilisation. You provide a place for us on the surface, we'll give you knowledge and technology beyond humanity's dreams. If we work together, this planet could achieve greatness."

"Okay." Nasreen slowly nodded, and Hollie let out a large sigh of relief. "Now I'm starting to see it."

"Oh yeah." Amy grinned just as the sound of clapping echoed in the room, the four looked across the table and to the entrance of the courtroom as the Doctor walked in, clapping his hands, a large grin on his face. Mo and Elliot followed a short distance behind them.

'Not bad for a first session." He grinned. "More similarities than differences." He looked between both groups as he walked up to stand behind Hollie and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Eldane looked up as a noise echoed in the courthouse. "The transport has returned." He looked at the humans.  "Your friends are here."

A few minutes later the group at the long table turned and watched as Rory appeared in the doorway, the Doctor raised a hand at him, a grin on his face as the man awkwardly waved back. Ambrose walked in behind him and Elliot smiled widely as he ran to her. "Mum!"

Orion frowned swallowed hard as the Doctor frowned. "Something's wrong."

"Doctor," Hollie turned to look at the Time Lord as Tony walked in carrying a body-shaped blanket under his arms. She took his hand in her fear. What had happened? "What's he carrying?"

"No." The Doctor breathed and tightened his hold on Hollie, if they were anything like Silurians he had met in the past, this wouldn't end well now. "Don't do this. Tell me you didn't do this."

Tony walked towards the long table and gently lowered the blanket-shaped body to the ground. Orion stepped forward and leaned down, moving the blanket away, revealing Alaya, eyes closed almost as if she was peacefully sleeping. He stood back up and shook his head slowly.

The Doctor looked at Tony. "What did you do?"

"It was me," Ambrose spoke up. "I did it."

"Mum?" Elliot slowly turned around and faced her, stepping backwards away from her.

"I just wanted you back." She moved towards him but he just moved further away.

The Doctor turned around to Eldane. "I'm sorry." The Silurian turned his face away from the Time Lord. "I didn't know. You have to believe me," He begged for Eldane to listen, "they're better than this."

"This is our planet!" Ambrose shouted.

Cassiopeia and Nova whipped their heads around, eyes narrowed at the woman. "There was a chance Ambrose," Nova warned, shaking her head. "You may have ruined that."

"We didn't want a chance!" She snapped back. "Leave us alone."

"In future," the Doctor began, letting go of Hollie's hand before she marched up to the woman, "when you talk about this, you tell people there was a chance but you were so much less than the best of humanity." Ambrose just stared at the Doctor, not even knowing what to say in reply as her eyes filled with tears.

Hollie looked up with everyone else as a Silurian army, walked into the courtroom from all angles. They pointed their weapons at the Doctor and the humans...

"My sister," Restac announced, walking in with some more troops behind her.

The Doctor swallowed hard, he turned his head around, surveying the room for a second before looking back at Restac as her expression changed from determination to heartbreak.

This wasn't going to end pretty for anyone.

Restac slowly kneeled down after making her way over to where Alaya lay, she moved the blanket and a sad cry escaped her lips.

Her eyes turned to the Doctor after she mourned her sister's death. "And you want us to trust these apes, Doctor?"

"One woman." The Doctor shook his head. "She was scared for her family. She is not typical."

Restac stood up, her eyes now fixed on Ambrose who stood still, her breathing shaky as she stared back at the Silurian watching her. "I think she is."

"One person let us down, but there is a whole race of dazzling, peaceful human beings up there." He pleaded with her. "You were building something here." He looked to Ambrose. "Come on. An alliance could work."

"It's too late for that, Doctor." Ambrose calmly replied.

Cassiopeia frowned. "Why?" She asked before the Doctor had a chance.

"Our drill is set to start burrowing again in fifteen minutes," Ambrose replied, looking at the blonde.

"What?" Nasreen frowned.

Tony shrugged slightly. "What choice did I have? They had Elliot."

"Don't do this." The Doctor shook his head. "Don't call their bluff."

"Let us go back. And you promise to never come to the surface ever again. We'll walk away, leave you alone."

"Execute her!" Restac exclaimed. "No!" The Doctor shouted, ducking before grabbing Ambrose. "Everybody, back to the lab." He ordered. "Run."

Orion grabbed both of his sister's hands as they ducked under the fire. Amy and Rory both ducked too as they followed Ambrose, Mo, Elliot and Tony. Nasreen was behind them with the Trio.

"Execute all the apes," Restac shouted.

The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver, holding it up and activating it as Hollie ran towards him. "This is a deadly weapon!" He shouted, backing up with Hollie, his hand holding hers as tight as possibly without physically hurting her. "Stay back."

"Doctor!"

The Doctor ducked his head as a Silurian whipped out their tongue at him. The Doctor stared at Hollie his eyes almost popping out of his head as their backs were pressed up against the wall that connected to the rows of seats in the courthouse. "How..."

"Come on!" Orion Shouted while Nova held up her sonic, causing the Silurian's weapons to spark. Cassiopeia nowhere in sight.

The Doctor shook his head, snapping himself out of his shock before him. Hollie took off and ran out into the tunnel.

How was Hollie, his Hollie hurt by the decontamination and telepathic? What the hell was she? He was sure she was human. Why wouldn't she be? The Doctor, Hollie, Orion and Nova caught up with the others, the Doctor ducked, barely missing being shot.

"Take everyone to the lab." He ordered. "Go. I'll cover you."

"You mean we will," Cassiopeia said, nodding at her sister.

The Doctor groaned. He didn't have time to argue with them as Orion ran past the others, leading them all towards the laboratory.

"Ah, ah." The Doctor warned Restac as Cassiopeia and Nova pulled out their almost identical sonics, activating them and exploded the soldiers in front of Restac. The Doctor stood between both girls. "Stop right there or my friends here will use their very deadly weapons. He gestured to them both. "One warning, that's all you get. If there can be no deal, you go back into hibernation. All of you, now. This ends here."

"No." Restac hissed. "It only ends with our victory!"

"Like I said," the Doctor replied as both girls activated their sonics at the same time, exploding the weapons of the two Silurians that just caught up to them, "one warning." He darted down the corridor with Cassiopeia and Nova, the three of them running through a door. The Doctor soniced the controls after they ran through. The doors shut and locked behind them.

"Elliot, you and your dad keep your eyes on that screen." The Doctor pointed at a screen across the room. "Let me know if we get company. Amy," the Doctor chucked the stopwatch over to her, "keep reminding me how much time I haven't got."

"Okay. Um, er, twelve minutes till drill impact." She read off the clock.

"Tony Mack." The Doctor walked up to the man who sat in a chair, panting heavily. "Sweaty forehead, dilated pupils. What are you hiding?"

He opened up his shirt revealing green veins had spread all across his chest. "Tony," Nasreen gasped, "what happened?"

"Alaya's sting." He panted. "She said there's no cure." He slowly shook his head and looked at the Doctor. "I'm dying, aren't I?"

The Doctor scanned him with his sonic and shook his head. "You're not dying, you're mutating."

"How can I stop it?"

"Decontamination program. Might work. Don't know." He turned to the Silurian in the room. "Eldane, can you run the program on Tony?"

The Silurian nodded and Mo looked up. "Doctor, shedload of those creatures coming our way. We're surrounded in here."

"So, question is, how we do stop the drill given we can't get there in time?" The Doctor spoke aloud. "Plus, also, how do we get out, given that we're surrounded?" He looked to the Time Trio who all had their arms crossed, watching him. "Nasreen, how do you feel about an energy pulse channelled up through the tunnels to the base of the drill?"

"To blow up my life's work?" She stared at him.

"Yes." He winced slightly. "Sorry. No nice way of putting that."

"Right," She sighed, "well, you're going to have to do it before the drill hits the city, in er..." She looked at Amy.

"Eleven minutes forty seconds." The ginger supplied.

"Yes." The Doctor nodded. Squeaky bum time.

Yes, but the explosion is going to cave in all the surrounding tunnels. So we have to be out and on the surface by then.

"But we can't get past Restacs troops." Rory added.

"I can help with that." Eldane cut in making them all look at him.

"Toxic fumigation. An emergency failsafe meant to protect my species from infection." He explained. "A warning signal to occupy cryo-chambers. After that city-wide fumigation by toxic gas and then the city shuts down.

"But Eldane." Hollie slowly walked up to the Silurian. "Your own people will die."

Eldane shook his head. "Only those foolish enough to follow Restac."

"Are you sure about this?" Orion asked. "Are you one hundred percent sure?"

"My priority is my race's survival." The Silurian explained. "The Earth isn't ready for us to return yet."

The man nodded in understanding as the Doctor cut in. "Maybe it should be."

"Ten minutes, Doctor." Amy read the time.

"So," the Doctor began, "here's a deal. Everybody listening. Eldane, you activate shutdown." He pointed to the Silurian. "I'll amend the system, set your alarm for a thousand years' time. A thousand years to sort the planet out. To be ready." He looked at the humans. "Pass it on. As legend, or prophesy, or religion, but somehow make it known. This planet is to be shared."

"Yeah.' Elliot nodded. "I get you."

"Nine minutes," Nova said, looking over Amy's shoulder, "seven seconds."

"Yes." The Doctor grinned, moving over to a large console. "Fluid controls, my favourite." He started to press buttons and do different things to the console. "Energy pulse. Timed, primed and set." Before we go, energy barricade. Need to cancel it out quickly." He pulled out his sonic and activated it at a scanner.

"Fumigation pre-launching," Eldane informed.

"There's not much time for us to get from here to the surface, Doctor." Rory frowned.

"Ah ha, super-squeaky bum time." The Doctor replied, winking at Hollie who chuckled at him while shaking her head. "Get ready to run for your lives. Now..."

Eldane looked to the Doctor as he cut him off. "But the decontamination program on your friend hasn't started yet."

"Well, go," Tony ordered. "All of you, go."

"No," Ambrose began to sob, "we're not leaving you here."

"Granddad." Elliot also sobbed, running up to Tony and tightly hugging him.

"Eight minutes ten seconds," Amy said, eyes flickering down to the stopwatch that was very quickly going down.

"Now you look after your mum." Tony knelt down slightly to be at eye level with the young boy. "You mustn't blame her. She only did what she thought was right."

"I'm not going to see you again, am I?"

Tony sadly shook his head before he lightly pointed his finger to Elliot's chest and tapped at it. "I'll be here, always." He smiled hugging him again. "I love you, boy." He looked at his daughter. "You be sure he gets home safe."

"This is my fault." Ambrose shook her head as she went over and hugged her dad.

"No," Tony shook his head. "I can't go back up there. I'd be a freak show. The technology down here's my only hope."

"I love you, Dad."

"Go," Tony ordered after letting go of her. "Go."

"Come on." Mo pulled his wife away.

Eldane looked at the Doctor who nodded a moment before Eldane placed his hand onto the console screen. 'Toxic fumigation initiated.' An alarm blared. 'Return to cryo-chambers.'

The alarms continued to repeat the same two sentences over and over as Cassiopeia looked at the screen showing all the Silurians now retreating.

"They're all going back." She looked to the group.

"Okay," the Doctor nodded. "Everyone following Orion and his sisters." He glanced to the trio who wordlessly nodded in agreement and watched as Nova headed to the doors, unlocking them with her sonic before heading out. "Look for a blue box. Get ready to run."

"I'm sorry." The Doctor apologised to Eldane.

"I thought for a moment, our race and the humans-" He stopped talking and sighed sadly.

"Yeah, me too." He nodded.

"Doctor," Amy ran back and up to him. "We've got less than six minutes."

"Go." He ordered, turning around to see the ginger was stood there with Rory and also Hollie. "Go! I'm right behind you." Hollie shook her head and ran off after Amy. "Let's go." The Time Lord looked to Nasreen.

"I'm not coming either." She stated.

The Doctor blinked. "What?"

As Hollie ran she frowned, the Doctor wasn't behind her like he said he'd be. She stopped running as she was about to turn a corner. "Hollie?" Amy questioned, turning around to her friend as Hollie looked back in the direction they had just come from, almost doubting if she should go back for him.

But there was no doubt about it, she wasn't going to leave without him. "Hollie!" Amy shouted as the blonde suddenly turned back. "Where are you going!"

"To get the Doctor!" Was all she shouted back, not even stopping her sprint as she disappeared around the corner.

"Doctor!" She shouted, running into the laboratory just as the Doctor hugged Nasreen.

"Thank you, Doctor." She whispered to the Time Lord.

"The pleasure was all mine." He replied and pulled away before frowning deeply as he turned to Hollie, the woman panting for breath. "I thought I told you to go?"

"Not leaving without you, idiot." She rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand. The Doctor blinked before letting out an annoyed huff.

Nasreen shook her head at the two of them as they ran out while calling out to them: "Come and look for us." The Doctor and Hollie blinked as both Amy and Rory were running towards them.

"Not you two?!" The Doctor huffed. "Do none of you listen?" He asked as they ran.

"We weren't going to leave without you." Amy told him.

The Doctor shook his head as they ran towards a large bridge. "Come on."

The Doctor, Hollie, Amy and Rory soon caught up with the time trio, Ambrose and Mo as they got towards the TARDIS.

"No questions, just get in." The Doctor ordered, unlocking the door. "And yes, I know, it's big." He held the door open as Mo and Elliot ran inside. "Ambrose, sickbay up the stairs, left, then left again, Get yourself fixed up. Come on." He looked at his watch. "Five minutes and counting."

"Doctor..." Cassiopeia quietly said, her eyes fixated on the large crack almost identical to the one in Amy's bedroom. Not that she knew that at least.

"Not here." The Doctor muttered. "Not now. It's getting wider."

"The crack on my bedroom wall." Amy said.

"Two parts of space and time that should never have touched, right here." The Doctor repeated, what he said when first meeting Hollie and Amy. "And the Byzantium." He frowned. "All through the universe, rips in the continuum."

"But how it is here?" Hollie asked, looking to the Time Lord who stepped forward ever so slightly, almost as if he was itching to touch it.

"Some sort of space-time cataclysm." He explained, now moving towards it, Hollie tightly held his hand and stood still, the Doctor turned back to her and softly smiled, trying to give her a reassuring look before smiling as she sighed and reluctantly let go. "An explosion, maybe." He frowned, crouching next to it. "Big enough to put cracks in the universe. But what?"

"Four minutes fifty." Amy read off the watch. "We have to go."

"The Angels laughed when I didn't know. Prisoner Zero knew." He turned to the time trio and frowned. "I bet even you three knows... Everybody knows except me."

"Doctor, just leave it." Amy told him.

"But where there's an explosion, there's shrapnel."

Orion winced knowing what was happening next as Rory frowned. "Doctor, you can't put your hand in there."

The Doctor pulled out a red handkerchief from his breast pocket. "Why not?" He turned back, grinning before sticking his hand with the handkerchief on it in the crack.

The Doctor cried out in pain, Hollie held her hands to her mouth as Nova placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it slightly.

"What is it?" Amy asked.

The Doctor pulled his arm out, something hiding beneath the cloth "I don't know."

"Doctor?" Rory said, eyes on the only entrance and exit as Restac crawled in

"She was there when the gas started. She must have been poisoned." Amy stated, her eyes wide.

"You." The Silurian hissed, her eyes locked on the Doctor as she snarled at him.

"Okay," the Doctor swallowed hard, "get in the TARDIS," his eyes flickered to Hollie who didn't move, in fact none of them did. "All of you."

"You did this." She raised her weapon up at the Time Lord

"Doctor!" Without even thinking Rory launched himself at the Doctor who practically fell into Hollie who stood beside him, her eyes wide and mouth agape as Restac shot her weapon in the Time Lords, now Rory's direction, hitting him square in the chest.

Rory gasped, instantly falling to the floor.

"Rory!"

Cassiopeia quickly pulled out her sonic, activating it and causing the weapon in Restacs hand to spark a moment before the Silurian wheezed and then slumped to the ground, the poisonous gas killing her.

The Doctor knelt on the floor beside Rory, the Time Trio slowly made their way over to the man lying on the ground as Amy sobbed. "Rory, can you hear me?" The Time Lord asked.

"I don't understand." Rory wheezed out, his eyes wide as they darted around, unable to really focus on anything.

"Shush," Amy told him, her hand cupping his cheek as the Doctor quickly scanned the man. "Don't talk. Doctor, is he okay?" She looked at him. Eyes full of worry. "We have to get him onto the TARDIS."

"We were on the hill." Rory sobbed. "I can't die here."

"Don't say that," Amy told him, shaking her head and sniffing.

Rory swallowed hard and finally found Amy's face. "You're so beautiful." He breathed out in one breath. "I'm sorry." Was all he said in the next before his eyes shut and his body lay limp. "Doctor, help him," Amy begged.

The Doctor's eyes widened as he looked down at the bottom of Rory's body, the light already starting to engulf him. "Amy, move away from the light." He ordered while pulling Hollie away, the blonde sniffing and wiping tears from her eyes as Amy cried for her fiancé. "If it touches you, you'll be wiped from history." He went to pull at her. "Amy, move away now."

"No." Amy frantically shook her head, refusing to go anywhere while Hollie swallowed hard and turned into Orion, sobbing into his chest. The man wrapped his arms around her as tears streamed down her face. "I am not leaving him. We have to help him."

"The light's already around him." The Doctor replied. "We can't help him."

"I am not leaving him." Amy snapped.

"We have to."

"No!" She screamed.

The Doctor swallowed hard, eyes glancing up to the twin girls who nodded in understanding and walked towards the TARDIS, opening the doors. "I'm sorry." The Doctor apologised to Amy as he picked her up and dragged her towards the TARDIS. Orion guided Hollie inside, the blonde much more compliant than her ginger friend. "Get off me!" She screamed. "Get off me. No."

With Amy in the TARDIS and the doors shut Nova used her sonic to lock the doors, Orion and Hollie walked to the console, his arm around her shoulder, holding her close as she wiped her eyes.

Hollie then swallowed hard and let out a shaky breath while Amy continued screaming and shouting, the palms of her hands hitting against the glass of the TARDIS door after the Doctor, satisfied the doors were locked let her go and sadly watched her run to it. "No! No!" She cried out. "No! No! Let me out." She looked at the Doctor for a moment, tears still streaming down her face. "Please let me out. I need to get to Rory." She noticed the monitor showing Rory's body and the light engulfing him further. "That light. If his body's absorbed, I'll forget him. He'll never have existed." She cried as the Doctor slowly moved around the TARDIS. "You can't let that happen." She stared at the Doctor, watching him move around the ship. "What are you doing?"

The Doctor pulled a lever and the TARDIS began to dematerialise.

"No!" Amy shouted again as she realised what he had done. He was actually doing it, he was leaving Rory here and she was about to forget he even existed let alone remember he was the love of her life. "No! No! No!"

"Doctor, please, we can't just leave him there," Amy begged, tears rolling down her eyes, Cassiopeia and Nova joined their brother and Hollie, the two of them standing on Hollie's other side, Cassiopeia placed an arm around Hollie while Nova placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Keep him in your mind." The Doctor looked from Amy and over to Hollie. "Don't forget him. If you forget him, you'll lose him forever."

"When we were on the Byzantium," Amy swallowed hard. "I still remembered the Clerics because I am a time traveller now, you said."

"They weren't part of your world." The Doctor replied. "This is different. This is your own history changing."

"Don't tell me it's going to be okay." Amy snapped angrily at him. "You have to make it okay."

"It's going to be hard, but you can do it, Amy. Tell me about Rory, eh? Fantastic Rory. Funny Rory. Gorgeous Rory. Amy, listen to me. Do exactly as I say. Amy, please. Keep concentrating. You can do this."

"I can't." She sobbed.

"You can. You can do it. I can't help you unless you do. Come on. We can still save his memory. Come on, Amy. Please. Come on, Amy, come on." He begged as a small amount of confusion began to cross Amy's face. "Amy, please." He continued, now kneeling right in front of her. "Don't let anything distract you. Remember Rory."

Nova turned to the TARDIS console and frowned before she began to move around it. "Keep remembering. Rory's only alive in your memory. You must keep hold of him. Don't let anything distract you. Rory still lives in your mind."

"Brace yourselves!" Nova shouted a moment before the TARDIS suddenly shook, and everyone was thrown to the floor.

"What were you saying?" Amy looked up, staring at the Doctor, the Time Lord stared back at her.

Hollie swallowed hard, Amy had forgotten Rory.

Wait... Amy had forgotten Rory, but she hadn't.

Hollie's eyes met the Doctor for a brief second as Amy jumped up, frowning slightly as she wiped liquid, no tears from her eyes. "I was crying?"

"I have seen some things today, but this is beyond mad," Mo exclaimed as he walked into the console room with Elliot and Ambrose.

Amy's watch beeped. "Doctor. Five seconds till it all goes up."

The Doctor ran outside with Amy, Mo, Elliot and Ambrose as the drilling derrick exploded in a ball of fire.

Hollie stood still by the TARDIS, the trio all glanced at each other for a brief moment before nodding in some sort of agreement. "We know you remember Rory," Orion spoke softly before cringing at his own words as Hollie flinched at the mention of her friend.

"How can I?" Hollie looked up, tears threatening to fall from her eyes again. It was bad enough she just witnessed one of her best friends die, what didn't help was her other best friend forgetting he existed and said man getting practically deleted from the universe. She couldn't even go home and morn his loss because no one knew he had even existed in the first place.

If Hollie was going to rank every single day of her life, this would have been one of the worst.

"I'm afraid as River says: spoilers." Cassiopeia sadly smiled. "I wish we could but if we did the whole of the universe might suffer."

Hollie slowly nodded sadly in understanding, she wasn't going to push them for answers, she was already far too tired and upset. "Talk to the Doctor." Nova suggested. "He'll try to help you figure it out."

Hollie nodded and actually managed to form a small, rather pathetic smile on her lips. "Thank you." She looked between the three of them. "All of you."

"It's what we're here for." Orion shrugged and stepped away from Hollie's side, Nova following him.  "We have to go now." He gestured to himself and his sister beside him.

"But..." Cassiopeia slowly cut in, slightly nudging Hollie, "I'm going to stick around for a bit if that's alright?"

"Yeah." Hollie nodded with a smile. "That would be nice."

"Good." She softly smiled back before turning her head towards the door as it opened and Amy stepped inside. Hollie winced quietly at the skip in Amy's step and quiet happy humming.

Cassiopeia looked at her siblings and nodded a moment before they both disappeared in a flash. "Oh!" Amy blinked. "They're gone?"

Cassiopeia nodded, forcing a smile while Hollie turned away from her friend and wiped any remains of tears. "They both have places to be now, but I don't need to be anywhere desperately so I'm going to hang around for a bit."

"Are you?" The Doctor cut in, raising a brow and a rather serious look on his face as he entered the TARDIS and walked up to the console. Cassiopeia looked over at him, trying and failing miserably to look unphased by the deathly serious look on his face. The Doctor's face suddenly changed into a warm smile as he walked up to her. "Of course, you can stay for a while." He said before mouthing a thank you to her out of Amy's view, he moved around the console and pulled a red cloth out of his pocket, the fabric hiding something underneath.

Hollie frowned, not seeing what was under the fabric but decided to not press further, she was incredibly drained from the day and just wanted to curl up in her bed and cry about it all.

---

Next up we have an interlude which I will have out pretty soon! It's probably one of my favourite interludes because it's just such a sweet moment between the Doctor and Hollie.
