Triple Threat
Chapter 7
They stood there in that silence and Martha couldn't believe what she'd just walked in on. She heard that and saw the pain lacing the sisters' faces.
"What the hell is she thinking?" Katti demanded angrily.
"She's protecting us," Bella whispered before sitting down. "She's keeping us out of the danger zone, just like when we were kids."
"Not fair," Katti yelled. "She may not be as smart as us but she's smart enough to know better than to run off half-cocked like this."
"Katherine Smith," Isabella yelled standing up. They all jumped. Isabella Johnson never spoke to Katti like that. Yeah, she'd yell at Elizabeth in that tone but not Katti. "This is not the time to be comparing IQ's which I might remind you were last tested when we were twelve and we all broke the test so don't go there. For all we know she's smarter than us at this point."
Katti didn't respond to it.
"I'm not about to stand here and do nothing," Martha said frowning. "So, what should we do?"
"My vote, run to the danger zone, grab her by the ear, drag her back kicking and screaming, then scream and yell at her for doing something so stupid while hugging her because we are thankful she's safe," Katti said standing up.
They nodded.

Elizabeth felt the heat of the flames licking at her. She coughed as the smoke filled her lungs. She held the cold metal in her hands.
"Maybe this wasn't that bright," she muttered as she sprayed the white foam at the fire and the spray quickly began to dilute the Corvoline thanks to the little added something she'd mixed into that fire extinguisher.
She began coughing and she sprayed it. The fire quickly was out and she stood there proud.
Apparently no one had been injured which she was thankful for. That happiness was quickly lost as the world began to spin around her as everything grew silent. She placed on hand to her forehead as the other reached out searching for something to sturdy her.
Her vision began to swim. That hand made contact with something covered by fabric. She turned to look at them but she couldn't see what it was. She felt her vision completely go black.

"Elizabeth, look at me," he yelled but she didn't seem to hear him. In fact, her green eyes didn't seem to see him either. This was bad. These were dangerous signs of Corvoline poisoning, advanced stages.
His hands held her shoulders but she didn't even register the pressure. Then her eyes rolled back into her head and in a split second he was catching her.
"What's wrong with her?" Katti asked.
"She's dying," The Doctor said picking her up. "We need to get her to the TARDIS. There may be a chance but not if we don't hurry."
His hearts were beating his chest, panicking. He just hoped it wasn't too late.
