The Crimson Horror [Part 4]

Outside, Street, Night...

"Horse!" Strax exclaimed as he halted the horse pulling the carriage. "You have failed in your mission. We are lost, with no sign of Sweetville. Do you have any final words, before your summary execution?" He questioned the horse, said horse letting out a neigh. "The usual story." He grumbled before raising his weapon. "Fourth one this week, and I'm not even hungry." He stated as he charged the gun.

"Sweetville, sir?" A little voice questioned.

Strap glanced to the side and saw a young boy standing at the side of the road. "Do you know it?"

The boy nodded. "Turn around when possible. Then, at the end of the road, turn right."

"What?"

"Bear left for a quarter of a mile and you will have reached your destination." The boy told him, Strax then putting the gun down and holding his hand out to the to help the boy climb onto the seat beside him.

"Thank you." Strax told the young boy. "What is your name?"

"Thomas, sir." The boy replied. "Thomas Thomas."

"I think you will do well, Thomas Thomas." Strax nodded once before starting the carriage again, the horse moving along once more.

Outside, Sweetville, Courtyard...

"Are we talking about the same people?" Jenny questioned as she and Marguerite walked along on either side of the Doctor and Lexi as they searched for Lucas and Clara. "You know, about that Clara and that Lucas?"

Ignoring her, the Couple of Time both ran off to check one of the doors of one of the houses.

"Doctor! Glorious!" Jenny huffed, putting her hands on her hips as the Doctor and Lexi turned back around and walked back over to them.

"I couldn't see much from where I was, but I think they both survived the process." The Doctor informed, Lexi sighing internally in relief.

"Well, they have to be around here somewhere." Lexi mumbled before turning back around and rushing to check another house, the Doctor following after her.

"But didn't you say that these two people died?" Marguerite questioned, glancing at Jenny.

"They did." Jenny stated surely before walking a few paces ahead. "Doctor, Glorious, do neither of you remember the ice lady and the ice man?"

"Like we said, it's complicated." The Doctor waved her off before he and Lexi ran off in another direction.

Inside, Sweetville house, Parlor...

Eager to find their companions, Lexi quickly opened a door to one of the houses only to see said companions both primly in place under a bell jar. Lucas was standing at Clara's side, with Clara herself sitting straight in a chair.

With wide eyes, Lexi hurried inside with the Doctor right behind her, both of them pounding against the glass as they slid to the floor.

"Okay, okay, okay." Lexi mumbled, looking around wildly as she tried to think of a solution before spotting a chair just as Jenny and Marguerite rushed in, both stopping when they saw Clara and Lucas. "Doctor, chair!"

"Chair?" He questioned before looking to where his wife was pointing. "Oh, chair!"

The Doctor quickly stood, as did Lexi, before he went and grabbed the chair and threw it against the jar with a shout, making the glass shatter.

Inside, Sweetville, Main Building, Attic room...

Ada was crying as she was knelt on the floor of the room with the chains in her hands as Mrs. Gillyflower found her.
