So I decided to start a new fan-fic since my last one was a bit intense and to be honest I just got a bit bored of it,

Clara ran away from the Daleks that were chasing her and the Doctor, rushing past the corner he pulled out the key and the TARDIS materialized around them. Clara hung onto one of the supporting pillars as the Doctor tried to get the TARDIS to fly straight, she felt a lump in the pocket of her jacket, fumbling with it she pulled out a worn pocket watch, the casing brass and gold with intricate designs of swirls and circles across the surface. Thinking nothing of it she put it back in the pocket.
"so, where are we going now Doctor?" the trip to star-system-beta2332 had proven a very exciting day, "home Clara, if you hadn't noticed you almost died, on a happier note the day is done and next Wednesday is another, until then, goodbye." and Clara was left in the comfort of her own home. The watch still in her pocket.
Clara was making dinner when Angie walked into the kitchen, "Clara, can you show me how to make a soufflé?" she could hardly believe what she was hearing, someone wanted her to make a soufflé, "sure, come here then" with that the soufflé making commenced. One hours later the perfect soufflé stood at the table ready to be eaten, "now then guys, Angie made this so it's going to be awesome, enjoy" and they dug in.
-open the watch Clara-
a voice started in her head, Clara was scared even more than she was when they bumped into the Daleks earlier that day, who are you, she questioned,
-i am you, now, open the watch-
what watch?, she tried to play dumb so that maybe the voice would go away, after all, voices in your head were the first signs of being crazy,
-now, now, Clara, I know you know what i'm talking about, it's in your pocket-
"guys, I need to go upstairs for a bit, I don't feel to well" and with that she made her way to her room, now, why should I open this? She asked taking the said object out of her pocket and playing with it,
-it is you, or a part of you that was forgotten-
she tried to open it but it wouldn't budge, wrenched thing won't ever open, so how and I meant to open something that won't? She tried and tried to open it but it wouldn't give.
-now that you want to I can open it for you-
and the watch swung open. A gold light shone from the watch and covered Clara, all her memories, feelings and thoughts came back,
-hello Clara, or should I say Cathina-
Clara ran to the bathroom, "i'm a Time-Lady" she said to her refection, then taking a razor-blade she cut a small scratch onto her palm, sure enough the gold energy fixed it up until there was no trace, then she put her palm to her heart, thump, thump, thump, thump, four beats, she moved it to the other side, thump, thump, thump, thump, again four beats. She ran back to her bedroom and fell into the soft covers, falling into a deep, deep sleep.
Gallifrey, centuries previously
"Theta, hurry up, Koschei, slow down!" Cathina ran with her two best friends through the gold fields of Gallifrey, they were chasing Koschei as he ran after a Time-Lord who stole his sonic-laser, "i wouldn't need to slow down if you and screwdriver could run faster!" he shouted from in-front, "guys...stop...arguing, lets just stay here" Theta panted, "i'll get you a new sonic-laser, and don't call me screwdriver, I have a name" after that they all fell into the grass and broke out in laughter, all but Cathina. "guys, I have to tell you something" now both of the teenage Time-Lords were silently watching her, "i need to become human, I need to go to earth" now all three were silent.
The next day Cathina departed to Earth and forgot all about Gallifrey and her best friends, but they never forgot her
Clara woke in a cold sweat, she had been having dreams like this one for the past week, it was Wednesday again and she was dreading seeing the Doctor again, but she had a plan, instead of hiding the truth she would embrace it.
"Clara, are you ready?" she heard the Doctor call from downstairs, she hurried down and locked him in a hug, "i've missed you Theta, you've grown up" the Doctor just stared at her in disbelief, he sat down next to her on the sofa, "you mean that you're..."
"i'm Cathina, yes, I found this in my pocket after the whole Dalek thing" she took out the watch and fumbled with it, "so you remember everything"
"yes, in dreams it has come back to me" they then locked in another embrace, but that was interrupted by a cough, they spun around to see the Master staring at them.
"the Master" the Doctor spat, "nice to see you here, now go!" Clara had never seen them be so hostile, "whoa, calm down boys, Koschei, why are you here?" she asked calmly, she stood to rest against the wall with her arms crossed, "i'm here because of you Cathina, may I say how nice it is to see you again, can't say the same for screwdriver there" the Doctor's face went red as he mumbled, "i said don't call me that" and then the Master dragged Clara into a huge hug, not hiding the grin that fell on his face once he saw his childhood friend again,
"now then, Doctor, I thought you and the Master were friends?" Clara said pulling from the embrace and returning to her position, "not anymore" he glanced at the Master for answers, so did Clara, "erm, Cathina, you see, I may have done a few bad things after you left" with that the Master retreated into the corner and the Doctor stood up with rage, "A few things, do you call trying to murder everyone on Earth a few things? Do you call trying to murder all the Time-Lords a few things? Do you call trying to murder me a few things?!" he shouted across the room, Clara just stared at her friends in disbelief, "yes?" the Master said in a quiet voice, the Doctor started to charge at the Master. Clara stood between them, "sorry, I couldn't hear you" the Doctor spat, Clara had enough.
"alright that's it, boys, behave!" two red spots of anger showing on her cheeks, "Koschei, did you really do all those things?"
"he did" the Doctor interrupted,
"i asked Koschei, not you Theta!"
"yes, I did, but it wasn't my fault, the drums drove me mad, only you stopped the endless beating, only you" he added the last part as a whisper.
"well then, I understand now why you hate each-other but still, come-on, you're still my friends and therefore you have to play nice, and what did you mean 'only you'?" the Master cursed himself for saying it now,
"when i'm around you the drums stop, I don't know why" he said truthfully,
"i do" the Doctor said gleefully, "you looove her" he sounded like a child, the Master tried to hide his blush as he said "i do not" and they sat down on the floor exchanging memories, experiences and ideas, by the end of the day they found a solution to global-warming and the Doctor and Clara decided that the Master did indeed fancy Clara.
Oh yeah, first chapter awesomeness, till next time,
