Four dozen armed guards in full-plate armor are on her heels in hot pursuit, and soon the winged riders will be catching up as well, but Rose isn't thinking overmuch about them - she's concentrating on the Doctor's voice in the cell phone at her ear, calling directions: "Left at the next corner! Now jump that low fence and run along the length of the stream until you come to the footbridge... okay, now cross, and cut through the trees..."
Her free arm is pumping hard, and so is her heart, as her feet fly over the dusty gray earth, kicking up plumes behind her. She can hear the guards closing in on her, but she crests the next hill and hears the Doctor's whoop in both her ears; she sprints down the path as shots begin to crack the air around her, keeping low, and tumbles through the door of the TARDIS - the Doctor yanks it shut behind her, leaps over to slam a button on the central console, and just in time they're in the air - she's home safe.

I'm pleased you liked this fill! I have really grown to enjoy writing Rose, mostly because of this meme.

Pretend it's an en dash instead of an exclamation point, please. *headdesk*
