The woman in red sprints down the dark corridor, her heels crashing loudly against the hard ground. She glances down briefly at her gold pocket watch. She's running out of time to stop him and the consequences are too great if she doesn't. In the far distance, she can hear an alarm going off. The guards will be on their way. Her legs move faster, pausing only to open the doorways with her sonic probe.
Finally, she reaches the end of her journey, just in time to see two figures standing beside four large silver cylinders. Each cylinder has a white door with instructions imprinted upon the centre. As the woman gets closer she observes that the figures are a man in a dark blue suit and a woman. The latter pushes open the door and steps inside the second machine. The man is about to follow when finally, the woman in red reaches him.
"Doctor." She says, standing beside the third machine. "Doctor."
"Yes? What is it? What do you want?" He asks, glancing around him in case there are others.
"Sorry, but you're about to make a very big mistake." The Doctor frowns. Surely this woman can't be trying to stop him. "Don't steal that one, steal this one." She leans against the third machine. "The navigation system is knackered but you'll have much more fun." The Doctor looks at her with a questionably, the lines on his forehead becoming crowded.
"How do you know all this? These TARDIS' belong in a museum; no one is supposed to be aware that they can work." He has his arms crossed and is glaring at her with open distrust. His female companion steps out of the second TARDIS and gives the Red Woman a suspicious glance.
"Doctor, you haven't got much time. I only want to help." The red woman is cut off by the sound of footsteps outside of the room. "Please Doctor. I know you don't know but for the love of Gallifrey, take this TARDIS and run!" The red woman pushes the companion into the TARDIS, the Doctor following closely just as the guards burst into the room. Their guns are raised, the double barrels aimed at the Doctor's and Red Woman's two hearts.
"Get in Doctor, I'll be fine" she whispers to the man. He shakes his head, his eyes never straying from the guns. "I'll distract them while you hop inside and fly away." He shakes his head more vigorously.
"I'll come back and get you." He tells her, finally facing her. Now it's her time to shake her head.
"I told you, the navigation's knackered. Now go in! And spare me a thought now and then, will you." She pulls out her own gun, shoots at the guards and runs towards the exit. The guards all but forget the Doctor and race after her.
The Doctor throws himself into the TARDIS, heading straight for the magnificent control room. He vows to rescue the unnamed woman and sets the TARDIS for 2 minutes into the future. The ship shakes violently, tossing him and his companion to the floor before sounding off three long wails. He picks himself up, running for the door and stepping out onto a patch of purple grass. He frowns and checks his pocket watch. He observes that the TARDIS has taken him 2 minutes into the future, however this isn't Gallifrey.
Meanwhile, the Red Woman is running through corridors towards the landing strip where her own ship lies. Guns are flying in the air around her yet she smiles. She passes a window and can't help but glance out at the burnt orange sky. There it is, the Doctor and his TARDIS flying past into the universe.
"Run you clever boy, and remember." She whispers to herself. Bracing herself, she turns to run when a loud bang stops her in her tracks. A surge of pain stems from her left heart. Bang! A second surge of agony emanates from her other heart. She brings her hands to her chest, feeling the hot liquid spill through her fingers. Her body crumples and she hits the floor with a soft thud. Breathing becomes excruciating, coming out as quick shallow breaths. She stares out into the window, inviting the orange light to bring her death with open arms.
My name is Clara Oswald and I was born to save the Doctor. The Doctor is safe now, and my story is done.
