This story is based off the adventures of the many versions of Clara Oswald. It takes place in the classic and new series, though most chapters will be in the new one. Most, if not all, of the stories will be based off an episode from Doctor Who. All (or most) of these are told from third person limited POV, from Clara's perspective. Please review! Constructive criticism is welcome!
Series Five, Episode Two: The Beast Below
Clara Oswin chose to forget.
Tears streaming down her face, Clara looked at the three buttons: Forget, Record, and Protest.
The Forget button on the far right seemed to be mocking Clara. The black writing had almost faded from the white plastic. Clara knew she couldn't press that. She couldn't let the star whale stay in misery without anyone knowing about its pain.
The Record button seemed useless. If you were going to forget, what are you going to tell yourself? The information she just learned couldn't be told in the five-minute limit, and if you protest, you wouldn't need it. Clara looked past the white, rectangular button to the one on her far left.
The Protest button looked like it had never been touched by a human hand. It looked brand new, yet had a thick layer of dust on it. Clara heard a voice ringing in her head "If only one percent of the population protests..." If she pressed Protest, she wouldn't be hurting anyone. The star whale might be let free if enough people agree with her, and it wouldn't really hurt the people of England. All it would do is stop the ship from moving. They would be stranded in deep space, but they could still survive for millions of years.
It was the hardest decision Clara had or ever will make in her entire life. A poor, helpless animal, or her friends and family. She dragged her right hand from her side, to the other end of the table, and was the very first person to touch that dusty, round, plastic button, and contribute to Letting the star whale live free. If nothing else, even if this didn't do a thing, Clara knew there had to be at least one person in all of Starship UK who knew of this suffering. She watched the white button turn red as she pushed it down.
Miles away, on the same ship, a man stood connecting wires to give an electric shock that would kill the last of the star whales. The Doctor couldn't help thinking of the last last time he wanted the wipe out an entire species. Two entire species. He continued fiddling with the wires, knowing he had no other choice.
Amy stood in the corner, the pieces slowly fitting together. She knew what would happen if they let the star whale go.
The Doctor found the two wires that would fit together to kill the star whale. He was about to do it, when there was a blip in the system. Something had happened, someone had protested. One person wasn't even close to the one percent that would free the star whale, but it made the Doctor have to rewire a few things to make the shock strong enough, giving Amelia Pond just enough time to work up her courage to tell the Doctor to stop.
"Doctor stop! Whatever you're doing, stop it now!" Amy screamed before it was too late. She grabbed Liz 10, the queen, and dragged her over to the control panel. "Sorry your majesty, I need a hand."
"Wait! No! No!" the Doctor screamed, but it was too late. Amy pressed Liz 10's hand on the protest button, and saved the star whale and all the people of Starship UK.
This chapter is not by far the best one, so please keep reading. Most of these won't have that bottom part, where the POV goes all third person omniscient. It would mean a lot if you reviewed, please.
