Daleks have no Mercy

Clara's POV

"Doctor, you can't do this." I said, "Won't it reduce the amount of regenerations you have?"

"Might do." he sighed.

"Well then, stop." I said with no emotion as regeneration energy continued to flood from his hands into mine, "If you restart my heart, Doctor. I will have the lifespan of a human again, and I don't want that anymore!"

"I want to feel and hear your heartbeat again, Clara." he replied. I then felt it... my heart started beating fast. I let out a breath that I felt like I had been holding for years.

"Why? I want to live as long as you?"

"What would you do when I finally die then?" he questioned.

I looked down, "I don't know. Go back to the Raven maybe?" I paused, "We'll have more time together if my heart ISN'T beating, Doctor."

"Doctor!" I heard Jack call. We must be back at my flat. The regeneration energy finally started to die down. My heart beat started to slow down too. As all the regeneration energy stopped, so did my heart beat.

The Doctor sighed as he stood up, I stood up soon after, "It's my fault that your heart stopped beating in the first place."

"No it wasn't, Doctor." I assured, "You were only trying to save me."

He nodded, "Yeah."

"Doctor!" This time is was Jenny who called.

"Let's go and see what they want." I suggested. The Doctor started to walk out of the room. I pouted before quickly catching up to him and putting my hand in his, "It's not your fault." I said once again, "And even if it was I would forgive you! You don't have to restart my heart, Doctor. I don't particularly want you to. I want to live to see Oswin and Ollie grow up."

He nodded in understanding, "Okay. I did use a bit of regeneration energy on you though... I might be a bit shorter in a future regeneration."

I smiled as we continued to walk towards the console room, "Good. I might be able to reach you a lot more easily then."

"Doctor, I swear! I will come in there and drag you out!" Ashildr exclaimed as we reached the console room.

"I'm here! Calm down!" the Doctor shouted. I pulled him towards the door and we exited the TARDIS.

"What's wrong?" I asked as we made our way into the sitting room. Everyone was there except for Missy.

"Oh, nothing." Jack stated.

The Doctor raised his eyebrow at the group who were sitting on the sofa watching Take Me Out, "Well then why did you want me?!"

"We want food!" Ashildr complained.

"Can't you get it yourself from the kitchen?" I asked as I looked at Ollie who was trying to fix K-9.

"I exterminated the fridge! I thought it was a bad influence!" Rusty exclaimed.

"Of course you did." I groaned.

I released the Doctor's hand as I went into the kitchen. I looked at the space where my fridge used to be before reaching down into a nearby cupboard, I pulled out a box and took out some money. I returned the box back into the cupboard before heading back into the sitting room, "Here." I handed Ashildr a £50 note, "Buy whatever food you want!"

Jenny then reached for a takeaway leaflet from the coffee table, "Okay." She handed the leaflet to Ashildr.

"Erm. Where's Missy?" the Doctor asked.
