When We Travel | Whouffaldi

Can't bare to lose you...

Clara's POV

Missy, Jack and Jenny won't stop talking about what happened. ESPECIALLY Missy...

The Mire were going to arrive soon and we had all maid our way to the main viking hall, in preparation for the attack, there were people dancing and playing games. All part of the complex plan that The Doctor had composed. Jack and Jenny refused to dance so they just stood to the side and talked away. Missy was obviously apart of the dancing, 'teaching' others and Ashildr was sitting in a chair preparing for her part of the plan.

Suddenly, The Doctor walked towards me and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards everyone who was dancing, "Come on, Clara Oswald!" He said as he encouraged me to dance with me. (They are dancing like they did in The Girl Who Died) I didn't particularly want to, but the look he gave me made me.

"Fine!" I laughed. Suddenly, there were heavy footsteps outside. The doors then flung open and in came a few Mire and of course their cruel leader: 'False Odin'.

The Doctor and I stopped dancing as he went over to the Mire and said, "Ah! Glad you could make it! Just a small village party!"

"You declared war on us, so you WILL fight us, or I will have my Mire shoot everyone right now!" Odin exclaimed. The village weren't phased by his words as some of them tossed horseshoes onto the Mire. The horseshoes were connected by wires that were attached to something on the ceiling, obviously the Mire were unaware of what was really going on.

"Oh really? Would you really shoot all of these innocent people even though there are no weapons in the room?" The Doctor asked. Odin glared at him before saying,

"If we have to we will!" Then all that could be heard were the village's cheering as they continued to dance and chat.

"Chuckles, now!" The Doctor shouted as he looked up, The Mire followed his line of sight and noticed 'Chuckles' standing above them. He hit a barrel of electric eels and almost instantly a wave of electricity passed through the wires down to the horseshoes which literally destroyed the Mire. "Four down, six left!" The Doctor announced to the villagers/newly formed vikings.

(TIMEEE SKIP - all that happened was LITERALLY what happened in the episode. It is now set after the part where Ashildr dies and the Doctor walks off.)

I looked over towards Ashildr who was in the arms of her father. Lifeless... I saw The Doctor walk out of the building.

"Oh dear..." Missy said as she walked towards me. "The Doctor feels like it's his fault." Missy stated.

"B-but it wasn't. He was trying to save the village." I said.

"He's just sick of people dying, Clara. He always hates to lose people, even if it's people he's just met." Jack explained.

"He didn't just walk off when I... y'know... 'died'." Jenny said.

"He has changed a lot since then." Missy said, as she looked over to the crying vikings/villagers, mourning over Ashildr. I sighed slowly before walking out of the building. I went to the place where I knew The Doctor would be. The TARDIS. I slowly opened the doors, stepped in, then closed them behind me. I scanned the console room to find him sitting on one of the steps on the far side of the TARDIS.

"Doctor?" I asked slowly as I approached him. He had his now repaired Sonic glasses in his hands. I sat next to him on the step. "Doctor, it wasn't your fault. You helped them. You saved them from the Mire." I told him.

"Yeah. Well me saving them caused them to lose someone." He said as he stood up and walked to the console, facing away from me. "I'm tired of losing people. I know I haven't even known her for more than a few days but... It's my fault. I put her in that stupid helmet." I stood up from the step and walked towards him. I put my hand on his arm and turned him around so he was facing me. I then pulled him into a hug, obviously he was used to the hugging by now... kind of.

"You save people, Doctor. It's not your fault." I said into his chest.

"But it is my fa-" he started.

I cut him off, "No. It's not." I said as I pulled away slightly so I could look at him. "You can't keep everyone alive. You will... lose people along the way. You might even-" I paused, "You might even... Lose me. But that's not important right now. What's important is... is that I believe that you can save anyone. Because you are The Doctor. And The Doctor saves people." I said.

"I can." he said.

"Y-you can? You can what?" I questioned. He then leant down gave me a quick kiss before pulling away and saying,

"I can save her. I know how..." He said, quietly. "You have shown me that I can." I raised my eyebrow at him, he pulled out of the hug and said, "Come along, Miss Oswald!" He walked quickly out of the TARDIS. I followed quickly behind, closing the TARDIS doors on my way out. Well he changed his mood very quickly.

Missy's POV

"God. What are they even doing?" Jenny asked. I was about to say something about The Doctor and Clara making out but Jenny quickly said, "On second thought. Don't answer that." I smirked, as did Jack. Suddenly, The Doctor walked in, followed by Clara. The Doctor then headed over towards one of the Mire's helmets.

"Place Ashildr on the table." He demanded. Ashildr's father quickly wiped a tear from his eye as he picked her up, placing her on one of the nearby tables. "I am Doctor Idiot." I heard him say quietly.

"Aren't you always 'Doctor Idiot'?" Clara said with a smile.

"That's no way to talk to your boyfriend, Clara." The Doctor replied, trying to hide his own smile. He continued to rummage through a Mire helmet. Clara's face started to turn red as she looked down at the ground with a small smile.

"Ooooh. Drama." I said.

"Is it actually official?" Jack teased. The Doctor finally pulled some mechanism out of the helmet and then walked over towards Ashildr. He then used his sonic glasses on the mechanism.

"There. This is a medical kit. I have reprogrammed it for humans. He then placed the device onto Ashildr's forehead. It was then 'absorbed' into her. "It's repairing her. It will never stop repairing her." He told Ashildr's father. Ashildr then breathed heavily, briefly opening her eyes and then quickly shutting them again. "It worked. She'll be concious in a day, and up and about in maybe two or three days. Give her this when she wakes up." He said as he threw the exact same type of mechanism to her father.

"Will she need to take this?" He asked.

"Oh no no no. Give it to her. She might meet someone one day... that she can't bare to lose." The Doctor said, softly. Briefly glancing at Clara. "And tell her that we will meet again."

5 minutes later

Clara's POV

Jenny, Jack, Missy, The Doctor and I all headed back to the TARDIS. Once inside, everyone headed of to their rooms. I started to leave the console room when The Doctor said,

"Thank you, Clara." I turned back around and walked back over to him, standing next to the console.

"For what?" I asked, leaning on the console.

"Just... for being here. I don't know what I would do without you, Miss Oswald." He said. I moved so that I stood in front of him, placing my hand on his cheek,

"Doctor. I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon." I smiled before putting my other hand on the back of his neck, pulling him down so that our lips could meet.

The Doctor's POV

She pulled, "I love you," she whispered. She then started to walk out of the console room, and headed towards her own. I looked down, putting my hand in my pocket, fumbling with the one thing that I took from this viking place.

Another Immortality repair kit. One from the Mire.

No-one's POV

Maybe one day there will be someone he can give it to.

The thing is... he's already found that someone.

The one person he can't bare to lose. Only she would never accept it.

His Impossible Girl.

Clara Oswald.
