At first I thought the TARDIS was playing tricks on me again. I was amazed at the vast rooms and seemingly endless corridors though amongst the danger. I was relieved when the Doctor found me. He explained. The past was re=peating back on itself, bleeding through.
As we were running from our lives from the Zombie monsters, (good guys don't have zombie monsters.) I had a million questions in my head. What were those things? Why was he hiding? They don't keep secrets either. I confronted him about it, what I read in the library. The things he did to his people, it didn't seem to matter.
That 'Zombie monster" was me. I was going to die. I was going to burn. Had he known? "It isn't just the past leaking out, it's the future." I had my answer.
I brought her with me to keep her safe. How neive I was. No one was ever safe with me. "But you died again." I had no time to try to hide my emotions, but I didn't have to as I realized something. This didn't have to happen. I could still save her. And that's what I did.
He was shouting at me. I was scared. More than his weird ship, with it's taunting and never ending corridors. I was glimpsing the silver of ice again. "What are you. eh? A trick? A trap?" "I don't know what you're talking about?" I shouted at him. I took a step back from him, slipping on the rocks. I was loosing my balance. He grabbed me, stopping me from falling.
"You really don't know do you?"
I didn't know what she was. My impatience, trying to find out who or what she was, was driving me on edge.
She was just Clara. But what did that still mean? I was just glad she was there, that I could actually touch someone. To get my mind off things. I didn't know if I'd be ok again. But right now I had Clara, just plain old Clara.
"That hug is really nice." She sighed.
It was.
When he told me,he kept running into me,seen different versions, it was like he was talking about reincarnation. There wasn't such things, were there? He truley was a mad man. But then I saw him vaulnerable. A part of me felt safe. When he asked me, I told him I did. It was half a lie. But despite what I saw today, all the secrets he kept, I wanted to stay. Normal life. Who would want normal?
AN: It's hard to write from a character's point of view. During the show I just watch the actors/actress' emotions/facial epressions and fuel from that.
I got to say this was the most fun to write. I had been looking forward to it.
This Episode was the BEST of Series 7 Part 2 so far. They showed enough of the TARDIS that needed to be shown, yes they could have shown more but that's my personal opinion. I'm finally starting to like this Clara. Last three episodes she was starting to bore me. But since The Bells of St. John, her character's got me hooked again. The salvage crew, I felt were sort of just there, but hey what can you do, that's pretty much the same with any show. And you can see the Doctor's patience for finding out who or what Clara is in this episode was wearing thin. I think what makes her impossible hasn't happened yet. Maybe sometime in the future her DNA was somehow scattered in the time vortex? The answer to the mystery is coming soon.
Alright Clara Oswin Oswald, time to find out who you are.
We might find out in the Series Finale!
And as far as Journey to the Center of the TARDIS goes, and as ratings go, out of 10, I give this ELEVEN!
