Doctor Who: Whispers Of Gallifrey: Part 1 By Kevin Hall Clara Oswald looked out of the kitchen window and sighed. It had been several days since the doctor had returned her home to London, and her time at Coal Hill School had been dull and uneventful. She had missed travelling with him and missed all the adventures, even though they were dangerous. Exciting and fun... but dangerous. On the kitchen work surface she picked up a photo of her mum and dad. She sniffed. I miss you guys. She composed herself, brushed a hand through her long brown hair and started to make some lunch, turning on the radio. ...In other news, A man has been found on the Port Of London. The medical staff at the scene were amazed he was still breathing but they found something amazing while checking him. He seems to have two hearts... Clara almost dropped the sharp knife she was carrying. He was alive after all. The doorbell rang in the otherwise empty house. Clara wiped her hands on her apron and walked towards the front door. Doctor, I- She flung open the door and her words cut short. Standing there motionless was a large grey statue of an angel. It was pointing at her, its large oval eyes showing an eternal sadness. The radio flicked off. Clara turned at the sound and turned back again. The angels face had changed to a snarl showing sharp teeth, another hand outstretched. Luckily for Clara, she hadnt blinked once. She was too scared to do anything. Her mobile suddenly rang and, without taking her eyes off the statue, reached into her pocket to answer it. Clara? Its the doctor! I wasnt sure I had the right frequency having dipped in and out of the time vortex and had a surreal conversation with a chicken, but I am glad I found you before its too late! Claras throat was getting drA Weeping Angel - it must have fallen through one of the cracks in time or an unwanted present from an old adversary. Dont blink, Clara. Whatever you do, dont blink! I am locking onto your time stream... now! There was a flash of white light and the angel disappeared, the doctor jumping out of the light, swirling around in his long brown jacket. He took off his red fez and straightened his bow tie and hugged Clara tightly. I saw on the news... Clara began. It wasnt me, finished the doctor. And we are in a whole heap of trouble. The man who they discovered... hes a Time Lord like me. Clara smiled. Well thats great, isnt it? More of your people have survived... And what happened to that Weeping Angel? The doctor gave a wry smile. Oh... I sent it back to where it came. It wont be bothering you any more. As for who the other man is... Lets just say what he has planned is not going to be a ride in the gardens. I think you mean a walk in the park, doctor. Oh. Yes. That too. In Londons Royal Infirmary, the Master rested, recuperating from his journey through the vortex. He had sent the doctor ahead with a welcome gift, taken control of the TARDIS... but it seemed it didnt like him and spat him out here in a far less superior time. His eyes were closed and he had white spikey hair, a face cracked and worn with age. He had seen a lot and now he was ready to do a lot to make this the new Gallifrey. But as he dreamed, the whispering of what was to come entered his dark mind. The Mighty will fall before the Eleventh Hour ends... His eyes snapped open, revealing an evil fury behind them. He ripped off the tubes and walked out of the hospital, lights smashing, people screaming and the Master laughing manically... In Claras living room, the doctor was pacing about wildly, Clara wishing that he would sit down before he knocked something over. Doctor... The Master was once a good man. But he saw much terror on Gallifrey and the anger and hatred consumed him. He was once my friend but now my sworn enemy. I dont know what he has planned for Earth, but I do know I have to stop him. Well, thats good. All we have to do is get to the TARDIS... He stole it from me. I have no idea where its location is... Not yet anyway. Until I am totally healed I am weak... He held up a finger. It had been bloody before but was now pulsing and purple. Once I find the TARDIS she can heal me. That is our first priority... A noise from the doctors pocket startled them both. It was like a ringing but one Clara had never heard before. My Cyber Earpiece He took it out - a grey metallic circular object and placed it in his ear. Hello?... Out of the other end a familiar voice came back, one he had not heard in a long time. Doctor? Its Wilfred Mott! You told me to contact you if anything strange came up... Well, it has. Wilf my old friend! Have the jammy dodgers on stand by we shall be over in a jiffy! Are you in London now? We moved to Notting Hill after Donna won that lottery a while ago. Shes moved away with her husband so its just me and Sylvia now, living the good life! Anyway, its about your TARDIS. It seems it is here on our doorstep. Any reason why? The doctor smiled. Oh you great, great man! It must have latched onto some memory in its databanks and found you! Wait there - I will be right over! The doctor turned to Clara, a big grin on his face. Now that IS good news. Come along, Oswald, times awasting. Ready for another adventure? Clara smiled and took the doctors hand, as they ran out of the house and towards a future that cannot be changed... The Master watched the new face of the doctor leave with a new companion, striding down the street without a care in the world. He stroked his grey goatee, hugging the black cloak around him tighter. He chuckled to himself as he flicked open the space jump device on his arm. He touched a few of the buttons and a creepy clown-like figure apperead next to him. Go after them. I want to watch him squirm. The creepy clown was being controlled by a Vashta Nerada. It had sucked the life out of the once harmless childrens performer, and now slouched drunkenly after the doctor and Clara...
