Hey guys, sorry for not updating in a while, I have been dealing with a family passing so it's kind of hard but her is a new long chapter. I suggest listening to The Long Song while reading the first bit of this, anyway kind of a sad story but you will cope I promise. This story is about…I can't even say anything or I'll spoil it. I hope you like it. BTW, this was supposed be the first chapter but since I was being stupid I posted the 2nd chapter first so. God, help me!
Third Person's POV
He was freaking out, he didn't know what to do and that bothered him, he tried everything, he didn't want to sacrifice Clara, his best friend, his savior. Clara sat there paralyzed from ear while the Doctor pressed random buttons, like he did in the TARDIS. The chamber was keeping them safe from the Daleks. What scared Clara was the Daleks' prophecy
'The only way to tear us apart, is to sacrifice the human heart'
Clara was obviously the human heart. The Doctor was nowhere near human. The Doctor was trying to deny that this was the day Clara Oswald dies.
"Doctor…" Clara's breath hitched in her throat.
Rest Now. My Warrior…
The Doctor turned around; he knew what was going to happen.
"No Clara, you can't"
Clara sat up shakily. "Doctor, I'm your Impossible Girl, I have to do this."
"No…"
Clara slapped him across the face. "Shut up, I'm going" Clara turned around.
The Doctor grabbed her wrist. "No…" He kept saying that word.
Clara smiled ever so slightly. "You're right, I forgot to say goodbye." She kissed him on the forehead.
"Goodbye, my clever man"
She pressed the button to open the door and shut it behind her.
"CLARA!" The Doctor kept yelling her name over and over again. She turned away from the door and tears started falling from her eyes. She remembered all the memories with him. She looked down at her feet. They were slowly shuffling towards the Dalek chamber.
She lifted her head up and saw the most beautiful thing ever. The man she loved. The Doctor. Not the Scottish Doctor, which she loved equally but she didn't fall in love with him. Instead, she saw the Doctor that found her. The one who nicknamed her the Impossible Girl. His Impossible Girl.
Rest Now, Your Hardship is Over
She ran up to him, she knew he wasn't real, but she didn't care, she stopped right in front of his face and looked into his old hazel eyes.
"You didn't let me go" He said
"I didn't listen"
He smiled "You do that a lot"
She smirked "Explains why you like me"
He looked confused then smiled "Who said I liked you ?"
They looked into each other's eyes one more time.
Live, Wake Up, Wake Up
They kissed
It was fake, but it felt so real. The minute they broke apart, he was gone. At least Clara had done what she wanted to her whole life. Now she could die happy. Clara took steps toward the chamber, opened the door and stepped inside.
"DALEKS!" She yelled. The Daleks backed away
"I know you kill for a living, but if you have any kind of heart left in you. Let. Me. Die. In. Peace! But I'm not even sure if you know what that word means…" Clara whispered that last part. She turned to face the Doctor in the other chamber. His hand was shaking over the button that would end her life. He was waiting for some kind of signal. She knew exactly what to do.
"Run. Run you clever boy, and remember. Remember Clara Oswald"
She closed her eyes and took her last breath.
I SO EVIL!
The chamber had lifted and would find its way to the TARDIS. The Doctor took a shaky breath…he did the last thing he ever wanted to do, he had pushed that button. He saw scattered Dalek parts…and Clara. The explosion didn't fully hit Clara. She was floating in deep space. There were cuts and bruises al over her body, her hair was floating above her head and her arms were flailed about. Just like he used to do. The Doctor sighed. How was he going to tell Dave, Angie, Artie and George? Her former students? It would be hard. The Doctor saw the TARDIS from afar, the doors opened and the chamber flew inside. The chamber then flattened out and disappeared.
The Doctor groaned "Ugh! My back!"
He managed to get up and fly the TARDIS. Alone. He landed right in front of the Maitland's house. He knocked on the door and jumped straight into the topic.
He said that Clara had died in a building explosion, somewhere in the States (sorry not to be offensive, just the first place that came to mind!) where he had taken her. Mr. Maitland could not believe his ears. Angie could not contain her tears. Artie was not supposed to be there, but was standing at the top of the stairs, listening to their conversation, paralyzed with sadness. The Doctor couldn't stand it anymore; he left the Maitland's on the brim of tears.
The Doctor then went to Coal High School (that's the name? right?) and told the principle the news before her students walked in. The principle decided it would be better if The Doctor told the class. As her students walked in he wrote LISTEN on the board. He smiled at the thought. Oh, Clara.
"Are you our supply teacher?" A boy asked (do they say supply teacher? I'm English, but don't have an accent. BORN AND RAISED IN CANADA!).
"No." The Doctor replied. "I'm here to tell you some very bad news." The Doctor turned around and clasped his hands on the desk. "I'm sorry to inform you, but Miss Oswald is dead. She died in an explosion."
Students covered their mouths in shock; some had tears in their eyes.
"Class dismissed" The Doctor wiped everything off the desk and stormed out of the room.
At the funeral were the Maitland's, her dad, stepmum, grandmother, some former students, and a bunch of other friends. Including Nina. Didn't know she was real. Everyone was in tears, except for the Doctor; he kept his emotions intact for Clara. Once the funeral was over the Doctor added something to her grave
'Clara Oswald, the Impossible Girl. November23rd 1991-April 25th.An mystery wrapped into a skirt that's just a bit too tight. '
The Doctor smiled slightly and walked back towards the TARDIS that is until he heard a voice
"Doctor…Doctor…"
He turned and saw her. Saw Clara. She was faded, but she looked alive. "You look like a ghost" Said the Doctor. She pressed a button and she didn't look faded anymore.
"Can I-"She interrupted
"It's a hologram, no touch" She said
"How are you-it's not possible." He gasped
"You still don't get it? Do you?" She mused. The Doctor shook his head dumbly. "The girl who dies was an echo of me." The Doctor looked shocked and tried to interrupt, but Clara put finger over his lips. "Let me explain. My echoes spread out so far that they reached parallel universes. The Dalek Asylum was a parallel universe, which means parallel Oswin. She's the one who died." Clara said.
"But when! You were with me the whole time. A-and, OSWIN was turned into a DALEK!" The Doctor exclaimed.
"Oi, things are parallel! She didn't necessarily get turned into a Dalek!" She explained "Oswin was supposed to die, but since there is no Doctor in a parallel universe she didn't, so she sacrificed herself for me. She had my memories temporarily, so you wouldn't expect anything. I'm still alive in our universe; you have to go through multiple parallel universes to find me. Since their echoes they have to save your life and die. Don't worry you'll know when you're in the proper universe. You'll have a gut feeling. So really, I'm not dead." She laughed and faded away." The Doctor ran into the TARDIS and…
The Doctor had watched Clara die over and over again, some things were even repeated. Crashing into Earth (Adric) Falling into the void (Rose) being shot by the Master (Martha), sacrificing herself to a Weeping Angel (Amy and Rory) and many other ways. Then he eventually was in the right universe, like Clara said, he had a gut feeling.
Clara and the Doctor burst through the TARDIS doors, panting heavily
"Sontaran?" Clara questioned.
"Sontaran." The Doctor replied
YASS, finished it! Yeah I know some of the companions' deaths I had to change so she saved the Doctors life. Also I referenced Doomsday and the Snowmen, but I had to! =) I hope you enjoyed this 2nd chapter which is really the first. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff! Goodbye!
