As the creature stumbled towards Clara, a sense of self preservation caused her to run. She slammed the library door behind her and went straight into the room opposite. Without looking, she closed the door and pressed her ear against it. She couldn't hear anything on the other side. When she finally felt she was safe, she turned from the door. She had found her way into a bedroom. There were posters on the walls and a small desk was covered in paper. There was a notice board on the wall next to the bed. She walked over to it. There was an array of photos pinned on it. And almost every photo had a smiling Aderyn. One of them even looked like a wedding photo. She had got the impression that Aderyn hadn't taken a liking to her, so she thought it would be a good idea to get out of here quickly. This was definitely Aderyn's room. She turned back to the door. But her attention was grabbed by a stand on a chest of drawers. She walked over to it. Like the desk, the chest was also littered with scraps of paper. She picked one up. It looked like a tattoo design. It was a simple drawing of a sonic screwdriver with two crossed swords through the middle. The small banners above and below it had, what looked like, names. But that hadn't been what caught her attention. She dropped the paper and looked at the sword. She picked it up and began to slid the sword from it's sheath.
"Don't do that!"
Clara dropped the sword in fright and turned to see Aderyn stood in the doorway. She had been so engrossed in what she'd been doing that she hadn't heard the door open.
Aderyn strode across the room and picked up the sword. She fastened it around her waist and pushed the sword back into it's covering.
"Once a sword has been drawn then blood must be spilt." Aderyn said quietly.
"I'm sorry," Clara blurted "There was something chasing me and I ran in here to get away."
Aderyn raised her hand and Clara immediately fell silent. "Don't worry. Let's just find the Doctor and get out of here. I don't know how much damage the TARDIS has taken." But the icy chill to Aderyn's tone told Clara that she really should be worried.
The TARDIS whined and the cloister bell tolled.
"What was that?" Clara panicked.
"That was a warning." Aderyn said. She pulled open the door and strode down the corridor.
Clara ran to catch up "A warning about what?"
"Ever seen a spaceship throw a tantrum?" Aderyn asked. Clara shook her head. Aderyn sighed "Well, you're about to. And no ship throws a tantrum quite like a Type 40 TARDIS."
