Hello! Here is chapter 4! I know it has been a while but I have been busy. Just as a reminder that whenever it says The Doctor, it means The Doctors consciousness in Clara's body, and vice versa. So when it says "the Doctors hand" it technically means Clara's hand physically, but the Doctor is the one that it is affecting. Reviews are greatly appreciated. :)
The lift shook again, but this time with more force, causing the pair to fall to the floor. The elevator stilled again and the pair shifted so they were huddled in the corner next to each other. A hissing noise filled the small space before a loud bang took its place.
And they appeared.
Chapter 4
The Doctor and Clara looked at each other in terror. The same two black figures stood before them. The creatures stood like two statues, not moving a single muscle. The same hissing sound from seconds before began again. A few short moments past before one of the Dark Men spoke.
"You are so strong. We are weak. Help us," it said weakly. It reached out with long, frail fingers and touched the Doctor's hand lightly before disappearing.
The doctor looked down at his hand. One of the rings that Clara always wore had transformed from a shining gold, to a dark, striking black. All of her other rings, like the one that The Doctor had returned to her after the events that took place on the Rings of Akatan, had remained the same beautiful gold. Just single ring stood out a cold black. He pulled it off and examined it with his Sonic Screwdriver before handing it to Clara. She looked it over before handing it back.
"At least it was not expensive," she stated in a light-hearted tone with an exasperated laugh. The Doctor smiled at her before replacing the ring on his finger. "What do you think that they meant?" she inquired.
He thought for a few seconds before responding, "what if they need to souls for energy? Maybe they use them as a power source or food or something."
Clara nodded. "Well, whatever it is, I would prefer to get out of here," she stated looking around at the lift, which was flickering between the eerie red lights and the traditional white lighting. The Doctor nodded in agreement before the couple stood. He pressed the button designated for the lobby and the elevator shot down.
As soon as the doors opened, the pair rushed out, eager to escape the closed-in area.
"Where to now?' Clara questioned The Doctor.
"Back to the TARDIS. I want to get as much on the Glagoromians as I can. I feel like there is something big that we have overlooked," The Doctor concluded before grabbing Clara by the hand and pulling her behind him.
When they entered the TARDIS, The Doctor headed immediately to the library. Clara followed close at his heels. The Doctor flipped through books quickly, examining the pages, looking for anything related to the Glagoromians and their history. Clara did the same, but at a much slower pace, checking indexes of books before placing them on the shelves neatly, unlike The Doctor who just threw them behind his back.
A few hours later, they were sitting on the ground surrounded by books. The Doctor threw one to the ground with a huff before putting his face in his hands. Clara put the book she was looking through down on the ground calmly, looking over to The Doctor in concern.
"Nothing. We have found nothing. How can there not be a single clue in all of these bloody books?" he said in an angry tone, "I am so tired of being a woman! God why am I so damn emotional?" he huffed as he shook his head.
Clara moved so she was next to him. She pulled him into a caring hug, rubbing his back in a soothing gesture. "Doctor, we will fix it. It's what we do, remember? We don't walk away. We will fix this," she reassured him.
And she hoped it was true.
So, what do you think? I know that it is a shorter than past chapters, but i felt that this was a good place to end this chapter. Review? Please?
