When We Travel Book 2 | Whouffaldi

Chapter 11: Thirty Years

Clara's POV

A couple of weeks had passed and Leopold was still missing. Rey and Ollie had decided to travel through time to try and find him and eventually we let everyone else leave, but not before Missy got to poke Davros in the eye one more time.

Missy then ushered me and the Doctor into the TARDIS, "Go go go! Clear your heads! I'll watch Oswin and Orion whilst you two have some alone time, okay?"

"B-But what about Leopold?" I asked with worry.

"Dear, I assure you that Rey and Ollie will find him. Just go." she replied. I sighed before the Doctor and I went over to the console, Missy closed the door for us.

The Doctor pulled me into a hug, "They will find Leo for us, Clara. I assure you."

I nodded, "Yeah. Come on then... Let's just go on an adventure."

"Where to?" he asked before pulling away.

"Just set it to random, I guess." I muttered as he obliged. Seconds later we landed, "Let's see where we are." I said before heading over to the doors. We were in a forest... next to a river. It looked very familiar. As soon as I stepped out the TARDIS doors slammed shut, "Doctor?!" I called as I tried to open the doors, "Doctor?!" the TARDIS suddenly started to dematerialise.

The Doctor's POV

"What are you doing old girl!? We can't just leave Clara!" I exclaimed, trying to make the TARDIS go back. Something or someone was making me leave Clara behind. Making me leave her alone.

Clara's POV

"Greeaat... Left in the middle of the woods." I groaned, "The Doctor will come back. He always comes back." I reassured myself.

"Clara? Is that you?" someone said, causing me to turn around to face them.

My eyes widened as I realised where I was, "R-Robin?" I questioned.

"Haven't seen you in almost two years!"

"It's been longer for me." I smiled, "How have you been?"

He sighed, "I've been better."

"Oh?" I wondered, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." He paused, "Marian she... she passed away a few months ago and I guess I'm not over it. These dreaded illnesses still plague this land."

"I'm sorry to hear that." I said.

He nodded, "I still try to keep my spirits up! With the help of my merry men that is. Enough about me! How have you been?"

I sighed, "Well... The Doctor just left me alone here, I think the TARDIS malfunctioned... And erm... someone's kidnapped my child: Leopold. So... Not good if be honest."

"Sounds like you're having a rougher time than me." he stated, "You can stay with me and my merry men until your Doctor returns if that would suffice."

"Yeah." I nodded, "That would be good, thanks." I reached into to my pocket to find my phone... Annnd I left it in my flat. Great.

The Doctor's POV

Missy slapped me in the face, "Where's my daughter, Doctor?!"

"I-I'm sorry! It won't let me go back to that time zone!" I exclaimed.

"This is ridiculous." Jack said.

"Someone obviously wants you and Clara separated." Jenny stated.

Ashildr nodded, "But who?" (A/N: Guess who you think kidnapped Leo and who wants Clara and the Doctor separated :3 I want to see if anyone gets it right!)
