Sanity Long Gone
CHAPTER II
Kill Him
Looking up again, he saw the branches of a tree that saved him from further injuries and caused a few rips in his velvet coat.
Clara. My Clara. Hopefully, she's escaped.
"Clara?" he whispered at the window above.
Then a little louder.
No reply.
Probably she'd been long gone from that place where the primitive kept his watch.
The Doctor drew his sonic sunglasses from his pocket and used them as night vision goggles. At least he had one advantage unlike the gang in the asylum.
Seeing properly in the dark, he saw a crumpled piece of paper on the ground.
He picked it up and read.
I'm fine for now. Big guy didn't get me. If you are reading this and I'm not with you, then I'm still inside. I'll try to get down to the ground floor, so I can get out somehow.
We'll meet soon, I hope.
Clara

Suddenly the Doctor felt all his energy sparkle inside him. He quietly scuttled along the villa, having high hopes he would find a way inside again. Windows were his thing - but he couldn't use these because the ones on the ground floor had bars on them. Bad luck. Behind the asylum, he found some kind of illuminated playground surrounded by a fence - just like the rest of the estate. He put the glasses down, so he wouldn't get blinded.
"Look there's a new one," said a calm voice coming from inside the playground.
"Oh yeah... Can you feel how nervous he is?" replied another voice.
"I'd like to kill him," responded the first again.
Two men came slowly to towards the Doctor. Only when they stood right at the fence, the Doctor could see them properly. Both were bald and had a scar on their heads, their eyes were empty, yet full of madness... Their bodies were covered with goose bumps and a few bruises, their members were shrunk due to the cold.
The Doctor looked towards the gate - a padlock was on it. Thankfully.
"Oh, tough cheese, boys. Maybe another time," the Doctor said cheekily because he knew they couldn't harm him.
Not wasting his time, he continued to the middle of the overgrown garden where he saw a fountain that was partly lit by the tall lights from the playground. The water had a darker shade than it should have, so he came closer to take a better look at it. At first he thought that it was just dirty, but it was coloured in dark red by the murdered men and women that were inside it. Bodies waterlogged, bloating, smelling... Increasing his worries about Clara.
Behind it, further away on his left he saw a rectangular building of bricks… Smaller than the main one. Opposite was another building that looked almost the same and a passageway connected it to the main building. The asylum was quite a complex.
He turned around and marched back, seeing there was a door on the back side of the building, which he had not noticed before. Unfortunately, the door led straight into the playground... So he could forget it.
The Time Lord kept on walking around till he came across an open basement window. When he stuck his nose inside, he knew why. His nostrils were hit by the same revolting smell that he had encountered in the room with the impaled man. Only that this was even stronger and almost made him sick.
Doctor had to put his glasses back on in order to see a thing before he squeezing through the window into the dark cellar.
