A.N- Sorry about cutting you guys off this morning... it was Mother Day. Anyways, here's the other part of this morning's chapter, I hope you enjoy:)And hey! It's the 20th chapter! R&R.

Clara and Scarlet stepped out of the TARDIS and into the 1600's.

"Looks like it's the late 1600's." Scarlet said looking around.

"Now your sounding like The Doctor, knowing exactly where and when we are just by smelling the air." Clara said.

"Don't you smell it?" Scarlet asked. Clara gave her a weird look before they both bursted out laughing.

"Hey I've been meaning to ask you," Clara said while they were waiting for The Doctor, "What are you holding in that bag?"

"Oh this," Scarlet pulled out a sonic blaster. The shining metal stood out against the dull brown of the 1600's "I used it when we were refueling. When I got changed this morning, I found it on my bed. I guess Jack wanted me to have it."

"Who's Jack?"

"Oh another story for another day." Scarlet flipped the blaster in her hand, accidentally hitting the trigger. A yellow light shot out of it, lighting a nearby bush on fire. "oops." A group of men walking on the dirt path walked towards them.

"WITCHES!" A couple of the men yelled.

"We're not witches!" Clara yelled.

"Look at their clothing, how unearthly!" One yelled.

"They must be burned!" Shouted another.

"Stop, we're not witches!" Yelled Scarlet, trying to keep her cool as the filthy men grabbed her and Clara.

"Stop trying to put an incantation on us!" One of the men yelled. The men dragged them away. They were both yelling "DOCTOR!" until the TARDIS was out of sight.


The Doctor walked out of the TARDIS to see the girls were no where to be found.

"SCARLETTTT, CLARAAAAA," He yelled dozens of times, getting no response. He walked around the town, finding nothing. He started to get worried. They are young girls and under my protection and if ANYBODY hurts them they will have to deal with me.

The Doctor was extremely worried now. The Doctor had passed that bush probably 30 times now and that house about 40. He had walked around the town dozens of times. An idea suddenly came to his head. Ask the locals. He walked over to a moderately friendly looking man.

"Excuse me sir, have you seen a girl in a short dress and another in bright yellow pants?" He asked the man politely.

"No, but short dresses and bright colors? They sound like them witches to me, they had a hunt earlier today."

"Were is the burning happening?"

"Just n' the center o' town." The Doctor ran, and ran as fast as he could, until he bumped into a crowd of people. They were yelling and screaming.

"BURN THE WITCHES!"

"LET EM SUFFER!" He looked up to the stage. Tied to stakes were Scarlet and Clara.


Clara and Scarlet were being dragged. They didn't know where they were going but it didn't seem good. Clara was kicking and screaming, while Scarlet was trying to punch anything that got near her. It was no use, these men had been doing this their whole lives. Some of them had muscles bigger than Scarlet's head.

Scarlet looked over to the man next to her, he was carrying the bag that held the blaster in it. If I could only reach it. Scarlet reached over to grab the bag. The man noticed her though, moving it father away from her. He gave a signal to the man holding Clara, who nodded in response. They both punched Clara and Scarlet in the head. Clara was knocked out instantly, but it took a few more times with Scarlet, her being a Time Lord.

Scarlet woke up, instantly taking in her surroundings. They were in an barn with no animals in it, although it smelt of them. There were two other people with her, Clara, who was still unconscious, and a woman who looked in her thirties. She had blood stains on the back of her dress, probably from a whip.

Scarlet leaned over to Clara, and slapped her as hard as she could. It was no use, she wouldn't wake up. She had to think of something quick. She looked around the barn to find a bucket of dirty water. She picked it up and dumped it on Clara. Clara got up in an instant, gasping for air.

"Sorry, sorry, it had to be done." Scarlet said, backing away from the enraged Clara.

"What was that?"

"Dirty water."

"It got in my mouth!"

"Now is not the time! We need to figure out a way to get out of here!" But it was too late, for two men slammed the door open. One grabbed Scarlet while the other grabbed the woman and Clara. There was no escape, they were going to burn.


The Doctor pushed people out of the way, trying to get as close to the front as possible. He got to the front row looking up at Clara and Scarlet.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!" Scarlet yelled.

"Hey, you were the ones that ran off in the first place!"

"Ran off?! We got attacked by angry body builders!" Clara called.

"Can you hurry up and get us out of here! Scarlet said, trying not to sound worried. But the men with the torches were coming close. The Doctor pointed his sonic at Scarlet's stake but it was no use, Sonic's don't work on wood. Oh the ropes! The men were right next to them taunting them with the fire. He would only have time to save one of them. He pointed his sonic towards one of the girls.


Scarlet looked over, Clara's ropes were undone, her jumping into The Doctor's arms. He chose her. I don't blame him, he's known her for way longer and they seem to have an unbreakable friendship. The Doctor placed Clara safely on the ground, them whizzed the screwdriver at Scarlet's ropes, but it was too late. By the time she was free, her arms were already one fire.

She felt the fire dancing upon her arms, but it didn't burn like she expected it to. It was more like a warm, sitting a little too close to the fireplace heat. As soon as the ropes finished untying, She dove into the dirt next to them, rolling onto the ground. As soon as the fire went out. She got up quickly, knowing some burly men were after her. Quickly accompanying her side were The Doctor and Clara, The Doctor smiling and Clara surprised she was still alive.

"What the HELL was that?" Scarlet yelled.

"Time Lord skin, not as delicate as humans." He said between breaths.

"Where is the TARDIS?" Clara called out from behind them. Just out of the corner of her eye, Scarlet saw the blue box.

"This way." She ran towards it, snapping right before impact with the doors. They all ran in, breathing heavily. Clara slammed the doors behind them.

"I think we're safe." The Doctor said.

"Wait so you're telling me that Time Lords are fire resistant?" Clara asked.

"Well, yes, I wouldn't call human skin delicate if Time Lord skin was the same, and not exactly fire resistant, just doesn't burn as much." Scarlet looked at her arms. Thankfully the fire never reached her clothing but her arms were covered in mild burns.

The Doctor walked over to her. "Let me heal that." He placed his hands on her arms.

"How much will it take away?" Scarlet asked.

"They're pretty mild, so about, 8 months 4 days." Scarlet took a step back.

"That's not too much, let me do it." She placed her hands on the opposite arms. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A cool sensation spread through her arms. It took over the burning sensation in her arms, until she felt nothing. She opened her eyes, seeing The Doctor and Clara smiling at her. She looked at her arms, there were no more burn marks, and no scarring.

"That was so cool!" Clara shouted.

"Yeah," Scarlet looked down at her now filthy clothing, "I'm gonna go change."
