NOTE: Aggg! Why are you all so lovely? I am getting quite a few followers! Please feel free to review my chapters! Much appreciated! Now, back to the story.

The Doctor shook awake at the sound of another explosion. He groggily opened his eyes to see a piece of flying wood aimed right to his head. A second before it landed, he rolled quickly out of it's way. He stood up and balanced himself out. After remembering what happened, he looked around him.

"CLARA!" he screamed, but received no reply. He started to run towards an opening in the forest of burning trees. He emerged into the field of rose bushes that he was going to show Clara. "CLARA! WHERE ARE YOU, CLARA?" he repeated as he started running through the field before the forest fire caught up with him.

"WOULD YOU STOP STRUGGLING?" demanded the man. Clara wiggled atop the man's shoulder. She was making noises indicating that she was having trouble freeing herself.

"Not until you let me go! DOCTOR! HELP!" she pleaded. She stopped wiggling as the man carried her inside a building. The building was dark and made entirely of metal. She stared at it in awe, wondering how a building so unusual was in a forest... of trees! She resumed struggling as the man brought her to a wall with straps for her hands and feet, a belt to keep her from moving, and a helmet for her head. The helmet was not normal, though. There were cords and wires connected to it.

The man set her down, and pushed her against the wall.

"Bring it in," said the man. Immediately following his proclamation, another person stepped out from the shadows; a woman. She carried a syringe filled with a white liquid. The woman walked up to Clara intimidatingly and the man continued to pin her against the wall using his forearm. The woman held the needle up to Clara's neck. Clara struggled under the man's arm to free herself, screaming in the process. The woman injected the syringe into Clara's neck and pumped the liquid into Clara.

"No..." said Clara weakly as she attempted to keep her eyes open. "Please..." Clara asked as her head dropped and she fell asleep. The man strapped Clara's limp body to the walls. First her hands, then her legs, thirdly the belt, and finally the helmet. He placed the helmet on top of her head and strapped it under her jaw. As an addition to the already torturous endeavor, the woman grabbed a piece of metal and clasped it to the helmet. She wrapped the piece around Clara mouth, preventing all future screaming. The man hit something on the wall near the door, turning the lights on. The man and the woman look at each other, grinning sinisterly.

"CLARA! Please, Clara. Answer me," cried the Doctor as he began to break down. He fell onto his knees grasping at the ground beneath him. "Help... me..."

"Gladly," said a voice to his left,

"raggedy man."
