AN: I'm back... Sorry for the cliffy but I wanted to see that people were actually still interested in my stories are not. Thanks so much for sticking with me despite the pause it updates I appreciate it so much. I will try to update more frequently but considering that I have school, another fanfiction that I work on, AND my own original story that I'm working on writing I don't know how it's going to go. Please please please review to tell me what you think so thatI have some approval that the plot is still okay. I love the Captain Impossible ship and I want you guys to love it too. Thanks PM me with story line ideas because I have absolutely none, I know how to get rid of the Rani and what will happen in the end but between that I have no bloody idea what I'm going to do. ANYWAYS, enjoy I hope you like it.
Chapter Ten - Mad Eye Moody and the Imperious Curse
Clara Oswin Oswald
I touch Jack on the shoulder jolting him out of his dormant state. He looks at me panicked, "How did you escape?"
I smile at him, "The Rani let me out."
As I speak her name she bustles by me juggling a massive stack of papers to be read. "I need more blood samples."
"Happy to comply." I smile and move to get the needles of the counter. Unconsciously I am aware I have no idea how to draw blood but I follow the Rani's orders.
I set the kit down beside Jack and roll up his sleeve gently. He snatches my wrist and searches my eyes desperately. "What did she do to you?"
"Nothing, I just realized that my compliance would be rewarded." I reply tying the rubber tube around his arm like I had seen my doctors do several times.
"Oh my god you've been brainwashed. When I get out of this chair she will regret ever laying a finger on you." He says spitefully, struggling valiantly against his restraints. I put my hand left hand on his shoulder and he immediately stops moving. His eyes are full of catharus, he desperately wants to help me but can't do anything. "Have your feelings been changed at all? Has she manipulated your love for me and turned it into hate."
I swab the area with some rubbing alcohol, smiling unconsciously. "Why would she have reason to do that?"
"So that if you had to kill me you wouldn't feel anything."
"If I killed you, it's not like you would come back to life." I answer with a sarcastically.
"Ah see there you are, your normal sarcastic self." I glare at him and shove the needle into his arm. He winces in pain, "You can fight it off Clars, I believe in you. You can see the Doctor, in a world full of Earth citizens you are the only one who can see him. You are special. It can't be too difficult to fight off a brainwashing."
I don't reply, I wait until the test tubes are full and pull the needle out gently a subliminal apology for my jabbing prior. I apply a cotton ball to the little spot that had held the needle and hold it down, averting my eyes.
With his other hand he taps me on the chin, "I believe in you. We'll get you through this together."
The Rani waltzes back in and I stand up immediately and hand her the blood samples. "Thank you my dear."
"Happy to comply." I answer with a slight smile.
She leaves, I sit back down beside Jack. "Do you mind setting me free?" He questions.
"Ha no." I answer, "I am not permitted to do that."
"Clara, you can fight this." Jack begins, "It's just like in Harry Potter when he was being controlled by Moody with the Imperious curse. He fought it and so can you."
"You read Harry Potter?"
"Duh. It's a classic…"
I shake my head, fifty first century jackass.
Falling, falling, I can't stop falling. The Doctor is safe now. That's all that matters.
"Clara…" A sing song voice chants in my ear. I groan and sit up to see an overly excited Jack leaning towards me.
"You should be in your chair." I grumble and make to tow him back but my attempts are pointless against his strength.
"Now, now Clara we are going to get you out of this brain washed thing. Okay."
I struggle to formulate an answer while the world spins around me. I feel nauseated but manage to reply without vomiting. "OK."
"You know that the Rani is a bad person. Doll you are are green, what's wrong?"
"I think that I'm going to vomit on you." I mumble and concentrate on not doing so.
"Side effects of brain washing. Funny story, I got brainwashed once. Ended up in bed with twelve men and twelve ladies of a terrorist group. Al Qaeda maybe? Anyways I was spewing for days, it wasn't fun." He pauses and takes in my evidently sick state. "This coat costed twenty hundred dollars. Don't vomit on it or I will break up with you."
"You wouldn't break up with me." I giggle. "You love me…" I feel like I am on laughing gas at the dentist getting my wisdom teeth extracted all over again.
He shakes his head and leans towards me to press his forehead against my own, "You know the Rani is a bad person right?"
I nod my head and mess up his hair in the process.
"And what happens to bad people? They get conquered by the heros. Clara you are my hero you are the most amazing girl I have ever met. Don't let some heartless hag ruin that. Be brave and defy her."
He gently presses a kiss to my lips and smiles as he pulls away. "I love you my clever girl."
"I love you too." I admit. He does a victorious jig at my confession before letting me continue. "How did you even get out of your chair?"
"I didn't. This is all happening up here Clara." he taps my forehead lovingly. "Now come and rescue me."
