'The doors require a key. The key is a word, and the word is the Doctor's' Simeon didn't get to finish his sentence before The Doctor jumped out. 'Here I am, late to my own funeral. Glad you could make it. Jenny' The Doctor nodded in Jenny's direction making Vastra feel jealousy flare when Jenny smiled back.
'Open the door Doctor, speak and open your tomb'
'No'
'Because you know what's in there?'
'I will not open those doors'
'The key is a word lost to time. A secret hidden in the deepest shadow and known to you alone. The answer to a question'
'I will not open my tomb' Vastra could see the Doctor's patience wearing thin now as Simeon continued to bate him to open the doors to his tomb.
'Doctor, what is your name?' Simeon could see he was getting nowhere so turned to the Whisper Men 'The Doctor's friends, stop their hearts' Vastra could hear the hiss getting louder as the Whisper Men loomed nearer.
'Madame, boys, combat formation. They are unarmed' Vastra could hear the confidence in Strax's voice although she wasn't feeling so confident hearing Jenny respond to Strax from her side holding her hand tighter 'So are we!' Strax turned slightly to give Jenny and angry glance before turning back to the Whisper Men 'Do not divulge our military secrets'
'Stop this, leave them alone' The Doctor's voice angrier could be heard just above the Whisper Men
'Your name, Doctor, answer me'
'Doctor' for the first time Vastra noticed that Clara was with the Doctor, she was looking just as frightened as the rest of them as the Whisper Men got closer. She could see Strax was starting to feel cornered as he picked up a stick which was near him hitting the Whisper Man, cutting through the body in one swoop.
'Do you want me to do that again?' before Vastra could answer Strax they watched as the hole where Strax had cut through him closed up.
'Doctor Who?' Vastra watched in horror as the Whisper Man that Strax had attacked reaches forward and straight into Strax's chest, from Strax's response Vastra could tell that the Whisper Man had closed his hand around his heart, she started to panic looking towards Jenny feeling powerless she had already lost her once she didn't want to lose her again. She hissed protectively moving Jenny behind her slightly keeping hold of Jenny's hand tightly. She can hear the conversations continuing around her, between Simeon taunting The Doctor trying to get his name, The Doctor trying to get Simeon to stop his attack and Strax and Clara's voices mixing together all Vastra could focus on was protecting Jenny. Until everything suddenly goes quiet and the sound of the tomb door opening, Vastra looks towards Strax seeing the Whisper Man that had hold of him release him, removing his hand from his chest.
'Why did you open the door, sir? I had them on the run'
'I didn't do it, I didn't say my name' the Doctor seemed to freeze before looking around them all 'is everyone alright? Is everyone okay? Clara? Clara? Clara? are you okay' She watched as the Doctor checked Clara over, taking the chance to have a quick look at Jenny before focusing back on the Doctor who was now talking to Simeon again 'Now then, Doctor Simeon, or Mister G Intelligence, whatever I call you, do you know what's in there?'
'For me, peace at last, for you, pain everlasting. Won't you invite us in?' Vastra felt Jenny shiver next to her, realising the young maid was getting the same bad feeling as she was, she didn't think anything good could come from any of them crossing the threshold of the tomb. But she watched as the Doctor walked forward and forced the doors open further.
