Pairing: Ashildr | Me/Clara
Rating: General Audiences
Word count: 250
Ashildr and Clara weren't sure what was following them. They looked like demons that had escaped from an illustrated copy of Dante's Inferno. But they knew they couldn't keep running from them.
"Do you see some sort of container near us, Clara?"
"I think I do," Clara said.
"There's a mirror up ahead. I'm going to break it while you get the container."
Ashildr did what she promised to do and Clara obeyed her. Using a nearby cane, Ashildr broke the mirror while Clara brought her a glass jar.
"Help me pick up the shards and put it in the glass," Ashildr said. "Let's see if they really are demons."
Ashildr and Clara picked up the shards. Clara could pick them out faster without any fear of bleeding, so she managed to get more shards in the jar than Ashildr. But once the jar was filled and most of the bigger pieces of the mirror were in the jar, Ashildr grabbed Clara's hand and ran, hiding around a corner of the building they were in. Once they were both hidden, Ashildr peeked around the corner. She saw the demons going for the shards of the mirror.
"Did they fall for our trap?" Clara asked.
Ashildr turned to Clara. "They did. I've always heard that demons are so vain they like to look at their reflections in mirror shards. Maybe they're not real demons of legend, but these creatures certainly function like them."
Satisfied, the two ran away from the demons.
