Lose You Again - The Doctor {3}

The Family of Blood - Part 1

"Make your decision, Mr. Smith," Jenny said. "Perhaps if that human heart breaks, the Time Lord will emerge," Baines said but then suddenly, the family turned their heads quickly. "Time Lord."

Martha grabbed the gun off Jenny and used her as a shield while she aimed it at Baines. "All right! One more move and I shoot," She warned. "Oh, the maid is full of fire," Baines said. "And you can shut up!" Martha said and fired the gun at the ceiling.

"Careful, Son of Mine. This is all for you so that you can live forever," Clark said. "Shoot you down," Baines said. "Try it. We'll die together," Martha said. "Would you really pull the trigger?" Baines asked. "Looks too scared."

"Scared and holding a gun's a good combination. Do you want to risk it?" She asked. The family lowered their guns and Jennifer walked over to John. "Doctor, get everyone out. There's a door at the side. It's over there. Go on. Do it, Mr. Smith. I mean you."

"Do what she said. Everybody out, now, outside, all of you," Jennifer said and the villagers run out, screaming. "Move yourself, boy. Back to the school, quickly," John told Latimer.

"And you. Go on. Just shift," Martha said. "Martha, come on," Jennifer said. "I'll be right there, go," Martha said. Jennifer grabbed John's hand and they rushed out.

"Mr. Hicks, warn the village. Get everyone out," John said and went towards Latimer. "Latimer, get back to the school. Tell the headmaster --"

"Don't touch me. You're as bad as them." With that the boy ran away.

Martha ran out, "Don't just stand there, move! God, you're rubbish as a human. Come on!" The three of them ran away, right towards the Farringham School. John closed the main doors behind them, grabbing the bell and started ringing it.

"What are you doing?" Martha asked. "Maybe one man can't fight them, but this school teaches us to stand together. Take arms! Take arms!" John said.

"You can't do that!" Martha said. "You want me to fight, don't you? Take arms! Take arms!" John said. Hutchinson ran down the stairs, "I say sir, what's the matter?" Jennifer and Martha exchanged a glance. "Enemy at the door, Hutchinson. Enemy at the door. Take arms!" John said.

The guns were being passed out to everyone at school. "You can't do this, Doctor. Mr. Smith!" Martha said but he ignored her. "Redfern, maintain position over the stable yard. Faster now. That's it."

"They're just boys. You can't ask them to fight. They don't stand a chance," Martha said. "They're cadets, Ms. Jones. They are trained to defend the King and all his citizens and properties," John said.

The Headmaster enters, "What in thunder's name is this? Before I devise an excellent and endless series of punishments for each and every one of you, could someone explain very simply and immediately exactly what is going on?"

"Headmaster, I have to report the school is under attack," John said. "Really? Is that so? Perhaps you and I should have a word in private," The headmaster said.

"No, I promise you, sir. I was in the village with Nurse Tyler. It's Baines, sir. Jeremy Baines and Mr. Clark from Oakham Farm. They've gone mad, sir. They've got guns. They've already murdered people in the village. I saw it happen," John said.

"Nurse Tyler, is that so?" The headmaster asked Jennifer. "I'm afraid it's true, sir," Martha said. "Murder on our own soil?" The headmaster asked. "Yes, I saw it," Jennifer confirmed.

"Perhaps you did well then, Mr. Smith. What makes you thing the danger's coming here?" The headmaster asked. "Baines threatened Mr. Smith, sir," Jennifer said. "Very well. You boys, remain on guard. Mr. Snell, telephone for the police. Mr. Philips, with me. We shall investigate," The headmaster said.

"No! But it's not safe out there," Martha said. "Mr. Smith, it seems your favourite servant is giving me advice. You will control her, sir," The headmaster said before he and Philips walked away.

Martha looked at Jennifer, "We've got to find that watch," She whispered and Jennifer nodded as Martha grabbed her hand and they ran out of the room.

They got to the Doctor's study and started searching together. "I can't find it," Jennifer spoke. "Me too. Where can it be?" Martha asked. Then there was a knock on the door, the girls turned around to see Joan, "Jennifer, I will need some help downstairs."

Jennifer looked at Martha and she nodded, telling her it's okay that she will go. "Okay, let's go," Jennifer said to Joan. They walked out of the room and went downstairs.
