Hello beautiful people!

So here come a shorty chapter with not much changing but I promise that next chapter will have more changes and it'll be where the action starts! Why didn't I put it in this one? Well that's what's come next...

This morning, I suddenly felt inspired by the music, so I wrote a one shot (well for now it's a one shot). I suggest that all of you go have a look, it's only about 500 words long, no big deal. I hope you will like it :) Just go to my profile, it's called The Shining World Of The Seven Systems :) And please do read the author note introducing it ;)

I still hope you'll like this chapter :) Oh and I didn't get to make this one proof read, as it's mostly just rewriting I think there won't be many mistakes but well, as I'm tired I can't say so anyway, I apologize for any typo/mistakes that will be found in this chapter.

Turtle: You are the best ! You girl surely know how to make me giddy with one review!

Enjoy!

Chapter 38

"Clara Oswald. We've got a positive lock on her, but I think she's borderline. Very clever but no computer skills."

"Upload her anyway." said the woman in her fifties that seemed to be in charge. "Splice her a computer skills package."

"I'll activate the spoonheads, Miss Kizlet." the asian man working for her following her between the black and shiny desks of his co-workers.

"Alexi, we call them servers, not spoonheads." corrected Miss Kizlet without even looking at him.

"Yes, excuse me." he said before returning to his desk.

Looking around the office where all was in shades of black and grey, Miss Kizlet said to her blonde second in command who was holding the door for her:

"I'm ever so fond of Alexi, but my conscience says we should probably kill him."

"I'll inform HR." he said, following her to her office where a bay window was overlooking the City of London.

"Actually, he's about to go on holiday, kill him when he gets back. Let's not be unreasonable." she said. "Didn't you want to speak to me?"

"We're uploading too many people too quickly, we're going to get noticed."

For a second, she looked at him.

"If your conscience is bothering you, think of it like this: we're preserving living minds in permanent form in the data cloud. It's like immortality. Only fatal." she said, sitting at her desk.

She took a tablet and surfed through the company software listing all the employees. She stopped to his page, displaying four sliders: conscience, paranoia, obedience and IQ. His name was Mahler.

"My conscience is perfectly fine." he said.

"Good." she said as she lowered his conscience, making his paranoia rise. "Because our client has his needs."

He was about to leave when suddenly his face became more suspicious and he asked:

"Did you just hack me?"

"Because you changed your mind?" she asked innocently.

"I hope I did." he said before leaving the office.

Miss Kizlet lowered his paranoia level before bringing it up back to a medium level, a sly smile coming across her lips.

"Clara pleaaase! I just need to talk to you! Please!"

Clara, still sitting on the stairs, smiled and decided to get up and turn on the intercom.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oi! You phoned me, you were looking for the Internet!" said the Doctor.

"That was you?" she said with a smirk.

"Of course it was me!"

"How did you come here so fast?"

"I just happened to be in the neighbourhood. On my mobile phone!" he answered, waving to the big blue police box behind him.

"That blue box?"

"Yes and it's a surprisingly accurate description!" he exclaimed. He suddenly sounded like a grumpy old man.

"Okay we're finished now!" she said, turning off the intercom. In fact she didn't really want to stop talking to him, she was just teasing him. Plus that monk robe was not looking really nice on him.

"Oi! No!" she heard him mumble before his voice faded, meaning he left. But she was sure he would be back soon.

Suddenly, the noise of a door slamming came from upstairs, making Clara look up.

"Angie?" she called. "Angie are you upstairs? Are you still here?"

Soon, a girl walked down the stairs, dressed in a very vintage look that reminded Clara of someone she had already seen somewhere.

"Hello."

"Hello." answered the little girl.

"Are you a friend of Angie's?" asked Clara.

"I'm a friend of Angie's."

"What were you doing upstairs?"

"I was upstairs." she answered after a few seconds.

"I know you, don't I?"

"You know me, don't you?"

Clara gasped when she realised this girl was looking exactly like that girl on the cover of the book Arty - Angie's brother - was reading earlier in the day. A book she read herself, 'Summer Falls' written by Amelia Williams. A book she knew very well.

Suddenly, the little girl's head started to turn towards the right, but instead of stopping at one point, it kept on turning, revealing the back of her head in the creepiest way possible. There was no back of her head, it was carved like a spoon, code glitching on a holographic screen.

Clara's eyes opened wide, stunned by how weird it looked. She started to slowly walk backwards, towards the door in an attempt to escape, but a blue ray came from the holographic screen and hit her face.

After a few seconds, tired of resisting, she fell to the ground.

Lifeless.

Let me know what you think :)
