Chapter 3

What's next?

Lost on the battlefield

"Rose! Just keep heading south! I'll meet you at the top of the hill!"

Those were the last words the Doctor had shouted at Rose before they had become separated. They had landed on the world of Uklon III, which unknown to them was currently in a state of perpetual war. They had gone some way from the TARDIS before they had realised this fact, and a bombing raid **** them to head in different directions.

Rose stumbled through the mud, keeping one eye on the sun so that she knew she was heading in the right direction. Rose had come wearing trainers and blue jeans. On her upper half she was wearing a white tank top, then a pink shirt, completed with a blue denim jacket. Rose felt like she had been walking for ages, when she came across an abandoned trench.

Rose clambered down into the trench and started making her way along. She was careful to step along the planks, avoiding the quagmire which covered most of the ground inside the trench. She was making good progress, until halfway along disaster struck.

Rose put her foot on a plank that wasn't as solid as it appeared, and her foot went right through.
