We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.
- Oscar Wilde
Honey brown eyes stared at her, they were red and puffy. Dark rings under her eyes as she stared at herself in her mirror. Rubbing her eyes a bit and shaking her head as she tried to rid herself of that horrible night. Taking some concealer she rid herself a bit of the dark rings under her eyes. Clara couldn't rest to much, a bad nights sleep as she was a bit anxious for the next day. She knew that she would have to return to work but didn't realize it was so soon. Taking a deep breath she let it out as she tried to take it in stride. Knowing that soon she would have to face off with Danny Pink, the reason behind her fear and sleepless nights. And having this knowledge frightened her to no end but she had to be brave and face her fears head on. She knew the doctor was always there to protect her but this time she didn't want him to be the one to do so. He was always protecting her it was her turn to be able to protect herself and not always rely on the doctor. Praying as she hoped that she would come out alright from this. Quickly getting dressed and putting on her black pea coat Clara would walk out of her flat and lock the door behind her.
The doctor was in the tardis thinking deeply, there had to be a way to protect Clara without her finding out, he couldn't live with himself if something happened to Clara and he wasn't able to do something about it. Getting up from the captains chair he quickly went over to the console and began pressing buttons and lifting levers as the tardis began to moan and groan as it flew into the time vortex. Finally with a thud the tardis landed. Quickly running to the door he opened it and searched outside and seen it was night as the tardis landed right next to Claras flat. It was that fateful night he found Clara as he looked more he seen the crumpled form of Danny Pink who was trying to stand up from where the doctor had attacked him when he was trying to take Clara and hurt her.
With quick strides the doctor exited the tardis and walked quickly to his form, with inhuman strength only a timelord possessed he grabbed Danny up and pinned him against the wall as he looked at him with his steely blue grey eyes that seemed to glow in the light of the moon. "PE, i never thought i could hate somebody as much as I hate you. You hurt somebody I care for tonight and I am going to give you a warning. I don't give idle threats" He took a deep breath as he spoke to him in a calm but icy tone. "I'll explain this so your small human brain can comprehend the intellect of what I have to say and don't take this lightly PE" "You touch a hair on Clara Oswald and I will show you why I am called the on coming storm and why I am feared by many of my enemies that they go running just by the sound of my name. Mark my words you pathetic excuse for a human" He glared deeply "Some great soldier you are, the great soldier Danny pink reduced to a man, wait no let me change that, a boy who attacks women and tries to take them against their will, a poor excuse for a soldier"
The doctor stated with extreme sarcasm. Danny looked at him with anger in his eyes, wanting to punch and lash out at the doctor but thought better of it as he hadn't the strength at the moment. Soon he will have his chance. Danny will take what was his and the doctor will soon suffer. The doctor then proceeded to push him more into the wall of the building as he let the poor excuse of Danny fall to the ground. The doctor cleaned the imaginary dust from his coat as he turned around and began to walk back to the tardis but threw his voice back to the Danny. "Heed my warning soldier boy" And with that the doctor disappeared back into the tardis closing the door behind him. Walking to the console he flipped a couple of switches and levers and disappeared into the time vortex as he floated there for awhile as he sat back in his seat as he began to think. Hopefully this would not backfire and that his Clara would be safe. He quickly froze as he realized what he just thought. Where did that thought just come from and since when was Clara his. Shaking his head from such thoughts he stood up as he disappeared into the corridors of the tardis.
Coal Hill High School
She read the sign on the school, the school she has taught at for a long time now. Thanks to the doctors connections she was able to obtain a job as an English teacher and she has loved this job. She had always had a knack working with children. Clara used to babysit the Maitlands Angie and Artie had gotten older and therefore not needing a sitter anymore, even though she still keeps in contact with the family. This school was presently her life as was the doctor both were fun and taught her plenty. Now at this precise moment she had a problem and it's name was Danny Pink, frightened that he may be brave enough to try something at the school but would he be so bold and stupid to do so, that was the question of the day. Walking into the building, Clara walked the hallway, being on guard at all times as she entered the teachers lounge she placed her lunch inside of the refrigerator. Walking back out she went into her classroom and she went about setting up for the day. Sitting at her desk she took out a book as she began to read it as class wouldn't start for another half hour. After awhile children began to file inside of the classroom. Taking her book Clara placed it inside of her desk as she stood up and stood in front of it as she waited for all of her students to file in so she could begin the school day.
It was the middle of the day as it was finally her lunch break, one of the other teachers invited her to eat lunch with them and Clara happily obliged as they had stated to her that they were invited on a lunch date with another teacher but didn't want to go alone. Wanting to help out a fellow teacher knowing how awkward it could be to sit alone with somebody you never really spoken to before. Grabbing their lunches Clara and her teacher friend Ana went into the cafeteria to sit down at one of the tables as they both waited for the other teacher that was to join them. She hadn't a clue who the other teacher was but Ana did say that she knew him. This caused her heart to do a flip hoping it wasn't who she thought it was. So they sat down and chatted for a bit. Suddenly Clara felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end as she felt a finger sliding intimately against her skin shivering involuntarily. Turning around quickly her eyes widened in fear as her heart began to pound within her chest cavity as she stared into the face of Danny Pink. Her heart did a flip, feeling sick that he touched her.
'no, no, no, NO, this can't be happening!' Clara thought in her mind. What in the world was ana doing going on a lunch date with him out of all people. She seen the sinister look that he gave her once her eyes made contact with his and it frightened her but she couldn't show that fear on her face Danny could use that to his advantage and she didn't want that and she also didn't want him to know that she was scared of him. Swallowing her fear, she smiled to Ana as she watched as Danny Pink sat down on the right side of Clara. He sat in the middle of the two girls. Clara didn't like this not one bit as she silently ate her lunch. Ana and Danny spoke animately and ate their lunch. She stiffened when she felt a hand on her thigh she closed her eyes as she swallowed roughly. Opening her eyes she looked down to her lap and behold his disgusting hand was on her thigh. This made her feel sick as she felt as his hand was rubbing against her thigh as his attention was on Ana. Feeling as his hand began to travel up the skirt of her dress as it was now at the junction of her thigh and womanhood.
This made her sick, this man was no longer the Danny Pink she once knew, he was something far worst. With a glare she lifted her hand and scratched the hell out of his hand making a gash as she also bent back his fingers with inflicted pain upon Danny.. He flinched as he quickly removed his hand as he gave her a chilling smile as he glared at her. As quick as she could Clara stood up from her seat and she excused herself quickly from the table leaving the cafeteria as fast as she could. Without room for ana or Danny to say anything. Danny smirked to himself, loving the feel of Claras creamy legs against his hand even though they were covered up with her leggings but they felt right in his hands. He couldn't wait she would be his yet.
Clara had quickly went into the womans bathroom as she locked herself behind the stall as she sat on the loo bringing her legs up to her chest hugging them to her as silent tears ran down her face. How in the world was she going to handle this. Danny seems like he has gotten dangerous the last few days since the incident, maybe she should take the doctors help. Clara began to think what her life was now, she hasn't really achieved much here it seems to her. Sure she was a brilliant English teacher, she made enough to make a living but she just felt bored nothing seemed to excite her anymore. The only excitement she had in her life is when she went traveling through time and space with the doctor. That is something that she loved to do with the him and she knew it was something that the doctor enjoyed as much as she because they kept each other sane and were there for one another. The only thing keeping her here were the memories of her mother and her father who lived on the other side of town. She sighed, Clara had to see how much longer of this she could take, she had to eventually confront Danny and take it to the authorities. Calming herself down she wiped her eyes, Clara exited the stall as she went to the sink as she washed her face to clean up a bit, looking up as she was satisfied that her face didn't look tear stained anymore she left the loo. Walking out as she made it back in the hallway walking until she made it back to her classroom.
It was finally the end of the day as the last of her students left her classroom. She was really glad as she really had to use the loo. Quickly following behind her students as she power walked towards the door. Entering the bathroom as she went inside of the stall and did her business. Few minutes later she exited the loo and washed her hands. she walked back into the hallway as she dried her hands on her dress. She wondered where the doctor was, she hadn't seen him since he dropped her off at home the night before. She really hope he isn't getting to much into trouble without her by his side. He really needs a voice of reason in his ear and she is that voice. As he once said Clara is his carer so he doesn't have to. That day when he said that, it made her feel special. Sighing she smiled as she entered her classroom so she could collect her belongings and go back home. Happy that since lunch there was no signs of Danny Pink at all, so she could go back home and relax to not think about him for the rest of the day. Grabbing her peacoat, she began to slip it on as she hummed a tune, hopefully the doctor would appear and take her on an adventure so she could take her mind off of things for awhile and maybe this whole thing could blow over. She hated having to always look over her shoulder now.
Suddenly the door opened to her classroom as it was closed behind the person as the shade was pulled down and locked. Walking to the middle of the room Clara had her back turned as she got her belongings together. The person chuckled darkly "Well hello Miss Clara Oswald, You can't hide from me forever now, you do belong to me"
Clara gasped as she turned around, frozen to where she was standing when she saw him. "D-Danny!?"
Author Note: There you have it chapter 3 to Dark Savior. Made it again to 2,000 words. Hope everybody likes this chapter and sorry for leaving you all on a cliffhanger but I thought it would be best to leave off there. I apologize for not putting this up sooner. This should have been typed and published on Sunday but I was at wizard world comic con in Philadelphia. Had so much fun and I met David Tennant! He is so amazing and so very nice, this is why I love that man! Hopefully soon I will type up my 4th chapter for this story. As always read and review if you want. No matter what I will still type up my story and not hold it for ransom like some authors do.
Fabercastel: Thank you very much. And yes Danny in the show ugh I hated him as well from day one. He is the worst ever and makes Clara behave horribly to the doctor. The doctor needs some love to more so then Danny. I will always try to update as fast as I am able to. I do try to make times for my fics when I am not working. And I agree that to much stories in the whouffaldi section so I am glad i am adding to it.
bgeiner: You are quite welcome and I do hope that you enjoy this latest chapter!
Angel Capaldi: I agree with you there the doctor definitely needs to do that but if he does then I wouldn't have a story and having Danny makes it interesting and I wouldn't have a villain for you all to dislike lol Hope you enjoy my latest chapter
