Author's Note:

Sorry for the wait here's the next chapter. Promise the next one won't take as long. Thanks for the reviews they really made my day :) I'm still happy for more reviews on ideas, theories or what you think so far.

Samantha looked up at him puzzled as to why the death of Clara in her dream was so important. The Doctor stared at Samantha, memories flooding back.
"Doctor?" Clara asked confused at his sudden dazed look. Clara's voice brought him back, he shook his head briefly. He looked at Samantha again his face sown with sympathy. "I hope you're ok now." He turned to leave the room but Clara grabbed his hand, he turned to look at her. She didn't need to say anything The Doctor could see the concern plastered across her face. He let her hand slip and he walked out of the room. He made his way back to room and lay on his bed encased in his thoughts. After watching him leave Clara turned to Samantha and asked. "Are you alright?"
Samantha nodded and looked up at Clara seeing her with a small smile. "Yeah I'm alright, it was just a bad dream." She replied. Clara knew she was lying so she leaned over and wrapped her arms around Samantha. Samantha sighed on Clara's shoulder gladly accepting the hug. Clara slowly pulled back and smiled. "Try and get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning." Samantha nodded again. "I'll be right next door if you need me." Clara added as she stood up. "Thanks." Samantha said quietly, she watched Clara leave and shut the door behind her. Samantha knew she wouldn't be getting back to sleep anytime soon so she lay back on the pillow and stared up at the ceiling millions of thoughts flying through her head. Some hours later Samantha heard noises from next door and she presumed Clara was awake. She noticed that the door to her room was beginning to open she shut her eyes quickly pretending to be asleep. Clara opened the door to see Samantha 'sleeping', she smiled glad that she got back to sleep. Clara walked over and knelt down beside the bed and lightly shook Samantha to get her to wake up. Samantha opened her eyes and sat up slowly seeing Clara there.
"Thought I'd wake you up to see if you wanna have some breakfast." Clara stated.
Samantha nodded and smiled. "That would be nice." Clara left the room to let her get changed and told her that she would meet her in the control room.

As Clara made her way to the Control room she saw The Doctor sitting in the chair looking at the control panel. "Hey." She said as she walked up the steps towards him.
"Good morning." He replied in oddly cheery voice. Clara thought back to the middle of the night where he looked as if he had seen something horrid. "Morning." She replied uncertainly.
"What's wrong?" He asked looking up at her as she stopped by the side of the control panel carefully making sure she didn't lean on anything.
"Nothing." She said shaking her head. "Well actually yeah, when we were in Samantha's room last night and she told you how I died in her dream it was like you froze and then you just left, what was that all about?" Clara questioned looking at him for an answer.
"Ah, well I think I was just really tired that's all. "The Doctor replied. Clara wasn't fooled.
"Sure, Doctor I know you're lying." Clara alleged. The Doctor was about to reply but Samantha was making her way up the stairs towards them. He dodged Clara's accusation. "Good morning Samantha." He said just as cheery.
"Morning Doctor." Samantha replied smiling. Clara turned around and smiled.
"Ready to grab a bite to eat?" She asked. Samantha nodded and followed Clara as she started making her way to the kitchen, without turning back Clara said "We'll be back soon Doctor." She heard a muffled response. They finally reached the kitchen. Clara was glad the TARDIS must be in a good mood, she remembered one time it took her nearly an hour to find the kitchen because the TARDIS kept moving it. "We've got some cereal or toast sorry not a very wide selection." Clara said as they stopped in the kitchen.
"That's alright." Samantha laughed. "Could I please have some toast?" She added.
"Sure." Clara nodded and passed her the bread and pointed towards the toaster. Clara got some cereal and milk out for herself and began to eat. While Samantha was waiting for her toast to pop back up she noticed a cook book to the left of the toaster and it was open on a page. She peered over and the page was open on a type of pudding; Soufflés.
"Do you bake?" Samantha turned around to ask Clara who was busy eating with her mouth full.
"She tries." The Doctor answered smirking as he walked into the kitchen. Clara glared at him as she continued chewing; Samantha giggled at Clara's reaction. The toast popped and Samantha flinched, shook her head took the toast out then spread some butter on it then jam and sat down to eat. The Doctor joined Clara and Samantha at the table with a small bowl of cereal.

Once they had all finished they made their way to the control room. "So where are we going today?" Clara asked looking over at The Doctor.
"Well Samantha wanted to talk to her friend was that right?" He replied with a question.
"Yes, please if that's alright." Samantha confirmed.
"Of course so do you want to go back to the afternoon we left?" The Doctor asked. Samantha nodded. The Doctor flew the TARDIS back to the afternoon they pick Samantha but he skipped a few more hours than he should have. Samantha walked over to the door of the TARDIS once it had landed and opened the door. He had got the right place she thought they were right outside Rhiann's house but it was night time the crisp air made Samantha shiver. "Doctor?" She asked. He walked up behind her closely followed by Clara.
"Yes?" He said confused at what the problem was.
"What time is it here?" Samantha asked knowing it was well past afternoon.
"Umm around 11pm ish." The Doctor said realising it really was well past afternoon. "Sorry about that." He added.
"It's alright." Samantha smiled. She turned around and looked at The Doctor and Clara who were standing at the entrance to the TARDIS and said "I'll be back soon I'm just going into that house over there." She pointed towards the house she was heading to.
"Okay see you soon, we'll be right here." The Doctor said then looked at Clara. Samantha began to walk towards Rhiann's house when she heard Clara's voice from behind her "Be careful." Samantha turned around to look at Clara she rolled her eyes and smiled, Clara rolled her eyes and smiled back just before she and The Doctor turned and walked back into the TARDIS. As The Doctor closed the TARDIS door he asked "Would you like a hot drink?"
"Yes please that'd be lovely." Clara replied. The Doctor wandered off to the kitchen as Clara walked over to the couch to sit down.

Samantha didn't know why she felt nervous all of a sudden; If she wasn't at home or at school there was a high chance that she was at Rhiann's house. As she approached the door her hand hovered over it for a while before she finally knocked. A light went on in the hallway, she heard footsteps coming down the stairs towards the door, she was hoping it was Rhiann and not her parents they would surely be suspicious as to why she was there at such a late hour. With luck it was Rhiann who answered the door; "Hey." Samantha said quietly as it was clear to her that Rhiann wasn't fully awake.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Rhiann asked sounding groggy.
"I came to talk about what happen...today in maths." Samantha replied. The moment she mentioned maths Rhiann's eyes widened it was as if she had just had a bucket of icy water thrown at her.
"You gotta get outta here." Rhiann said hastily a worried look came over her face as she gripped the side of the door with her right hand.
"What?" Samantha asked confused.
"He's here!" Rhiann exclaimed in a frustrated whisper the worried look turning frightened.
"Who's here?" Samantha asked raising her voice just as frustrated. They both heard a stair creak and stopped arguing; A shadow was looming at the base of the stairs. It was a tall shadow, as it moved into the light Samantha's look got more confused; It was her male caregiver Mitchell. Mitchell shoved past Rhiann, his arm darted out and caught Samantha by her wrist. "Ouch! What are you doing, Let go!" Samantha said sternly.
"You're coming with me." Mitchells gruff voice mumbled angrily as he attempted to walk off dragging Samantha behind him. Samantha planted her feet on the ground stopping them both in their tracks.
"Cut it out! Why are you doing this? Let me go!" Samantha said raising her voice slightly. Rhiann didn't know what to do, she was scared and the best thing she could think of to do would probably end up being the worst. Rhiann shut the door and locked it. She stood behind it and sunk to her knees, afraid for Samantha's safety and her own. Mitchell glared at Samantha as she pulled back. "I was informed of what happened in maths today." He snarled.
"Nothing happened! What are you on about?" She shot back.
"That's not what Rhiann told me!" He spat out. What Mitchell just said stunned her into silence, her heart wrenched. She felt hurt, betrayed and it was sickening. Mitchell jerked her arm harder this time dragging her towards his car which was parked further down the road. "Stop!" She yelled.
"Quiet you!" He snapped. That's when Samantha got a full understanding of her situation and she yelled for help.
"Doctor!" She yelled and started struggling against his grip. He was grabbing something out of his pocket. "Clara!" She screamed as something strange covered her mouth, and that's the last thing she remembered.
