CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Ten
They had snuck back to get Jack and Clara, but they were too late. They were peaking around the corner when they saw it. Clara and Jack were being led away. Jack was dead and Clara was barely conscious. He swore Clara had seen them but her head slumped forward and Eleven almost ran out.
As soon as the nurses were far enough away, Eleven lost it. "They took Clara! My Clara! We have to go after them!" He stormed around, flailing his arms about. Ok, Jack and Clara are in extreme danger, Eleven is really angered and they are dealing with three Doctors. We can handle this, Ten thought.
"Don't worry, of course we will go after them. I might be a younger you but I can still tell when I...me...you like someone. Same thing happened with Rose and I will not let it happen again." Ten quickly reassured him.
Eleven turned to him and whispered angrily, "How can you be so sure?!" Ten shrugged and turned toward where the scene that just took place was. Nine started to walk down the hall with a confidence that seemed to radiate off him. Never really liked that version of myself. Ten shook the thought off. That version of him had just come out of the Time War and was still bitter.
"Just gotta secretly follow them and we will find Clara and Jack." Nine said over his shoulder. The three of them walked swiftly down the hall, following the trail that Jack had left from his...attack.
The three Doctors arrived at the room where Clara and Jack were being held and snuck in behind two nurses. Eleven accidentally knocked over a box with his gangly limbs and they were busted.
"Well, guess I need to surrender then! Just me, nobody else. Except for my people you have. Them too!" Eleven quickly lied, hiding the fact that the other Doctors were there.
"Doctor, you are never alone. Others, you might as well come out or be shot." the nurse announced. Ten looked behind him and saw a nurse with a gun aimed at him. He cursed under his breath and stood up.
"Well, congratz you caught us. But you can't exactly contain us." Nine retorted coolly, trying to cover the fact that Jack had came back to life. "And anyway, what do you need us for?"
The nurse smiled and turned just in time for Jack's fist to collide with her face. "Learned that right hook from Clara. One hell of a hit if you ask me." Jack smiled and started untying Clara.
"Let's just go before we accidentally run into a past self or something." Nine grumbled, starting to walk back in the direction of his TARDIS. Soon, the whole group was walking down the hall. Except for Clara, she was being carried by the Eleventh Doctor.
*Author's Note* - so sorry for not updating. The next chapter they will be in the TARDIS and another Doctor will be joining us. Just not a permanent character.
