The Horrors of Parallax
Chapter 1: Parallax
A/N A whouffle fanfic, Doc and Clara go to an alien planet, stuff happens. Enjoy! I don't own anything, btw.
"The planet Parallax!" the Doctor shouted in glee. He and Clara had just emerged from the TARDIS, which was currently parked in a cave. The landscape was a dark purple, murky and miserable, the sky mottled blue.
A hour later, they were on the flatlands, amongst trees that were
thin and brittle.
"Ah yes, the Pont trees. No fruit, no life, just a bit of wood,".
"Fascinating. What's that?" Clara asked, pointing to a figure on the landscape.
"That, Clara, is a Fafu. A primitive creature, barely humanoid. Bites a bit," he warned, pulling her slightly. The Fafu was black and grey, with rough, coarse skin covering it's hunched body, leading to it's enormous, snapping jaw, line sith fangs. Minuscule yellow eyes looked out onto the horizon.
However, it walked upto Clara, sniffing slightly. "Hang on, I think he likes you!" the Doctor said with a laugh. Suddenly, it bit her arm viciously, retracting within an instant. "Oi, shoo!" the Doctor shouted, buzzing his sonic at it. Amazed by the light and sound, it vanished onto the horizon.
"Doctor, is it safe?" Clara asked, her voice trembling.
"Yeah, as long as you've got your Immuno-58 shot," he replied, putting away the sonic.
"Immuno what?" she asked desperately.
"Oh, that's the twenty SECOND century," he said, his eyes widening in panic. "Oh dear..." he said, looking at his friend in dread.
"Doctor, what?" she asked, tears coming to her eyes in fear.
"We have to get you to the Nefu city. Now!" he said, picking her up. Fortunately, her small body allowed him to sprint over the dead world
