A/N: wanted to post the first chapter of this fanfic today, due to 4 months since the appearance of Clara Oswald in Twice Upon a Time.
The sound of the TARDIS was heard echoing outside the Citadel.
Soon after, the Doctor went out, clad with red velvet coat and locked the TARDIS. His look was menacing as he looked up to the female general, looking outward from the window.
The Doctor was soon in the conference room, sitting in the president's place. After all, he was still the President of Gallifrey.
"I see you want something from us, since you came back." Said Ohila.
"You know what I want." Growled the Doctor. He was still very very angry for the 4 and a half billion years worth of pain the Time Lords had given him.
The Time Lords.
His people!
This is the thanks he gets for saving Gallifrey?
And after all, it still hurt him that they had also caused such pain not only to him. But to her, too.
The agony felt so long ago by the person he barely remembered but yet, held close to his heart.
The first face his face saw.
"I want Clara Oswald back."
"We can't tell you were she is." Ohila answered.
"And why is that?"
Ohila and the general exchanged looks. There was nothing but silence.
"So?" The Doctor's irritated voice boomed across the room.
Ohila whispered. "She has already come to us Doctor. We placed her back in her timeline, just as she wanted." The Doctor kept staring at Ohila, his eyes boring into her soul, so much so she was very uncomfortable. He felt his hearts shatter into many uncountable fragments.
The Doctor suddenly woke up and headed towards the door, jaws and fists tightly clenched when Ohila stood up and blocked his path.
She grabbed his arms. "You know what would happen! Paradoxes that would destroy everything."
"I've already saved Clara and nothing happened. No Universe crumbled like you said it would." He was determined, and no one could stop him.
"But this time it's definite, Doctor. I watched over her from when she came here till when she stepped in her place on Trap Street. Doctor, she never wanted you to know, but she knows you too well. The girl knew you would come and do everything to stop her. And you didn't appear. If you go back in time now, the destruction would be terrible. Just to try and save her when the Universe she lives in would crumble, and her with it. You both, and everyone would die. All because of your egoism Doctor. And you would have gained nothing but pain and destruction."
The Doctor was on the verge of crying. Ohila kept on talking to him, this time with a calmer voice.
"I know she means a lot to you Doctor, but you can do nothing." The Doctor broke down in sobs as he collapsed to his knees, his face in his hands.
He calmed down and looked up. This time, there was the general too behind Ohila.
"Extract her again."
"You know we can't Sir." Said the General.
"I've done it before, it can happen again. Extract her!" Anger replaced his sadness which filled his heart.
"It'll cost her too much. Not just the Universe, but her." Ohila said. "She wanted to die in peace, Doctor. If you really love her, just let her be. Make her happy by giving her a dignified death."
"She told you everything, didn't she?" The Doctor breathed a laugh. He could remember that she was a control freak. But that didn't matter.
She was his control freak.
The woman nodded. "But she made me promise something."
The Doctor's eyes were pleading Ohila to tell him everything they knew about Clara. The only thing he knew was the things they had done, how he had saved her... But he didn't remember the most important person in all of those memories.
Clara herself.
"She left you a message and has accepted that we would return your memories back by a reverse neuroblock memory resurface. She didn't want you to suffer not knowing who she was in your life. Clara knew you would never forgive yourself if she didn't let you."
A/N: First chapter of 2 ;) Hope you enjoyed it :D Hopefull, posting the next chapter on Friday
