He'd taken a mighty good guess.
Clever man he was...
Holen sank down beside the building. She was still determined he wouldn't find her. She would't let him.
He was so clever and yet so stupid! What was he thinking following her when she was in this state?...
She didn't want to hurt him. She didn't want to hurt anyone.
But especially him...
She stood up again, She needed to stay mobile just in case he spotted her.

"Found you," he said simply, his face a frown, and his voice filled with worry.

She toppled over, cringing as she hit the earth.
Why was everything against her?!
She didn't need this!
She didn't want to hurt him and every inch he came continued to sign his death warrent, irevokabe once completed, she knew.
" Doctor, you NEED to stay away from me... I.. gotta keep this under controle myself an..."
Two hearts.... The noise drummed into her ears sharply..

He sat down beside her, pulling the tablets out of his pocket, rolling one over to where she had collapsed. He was wise enough to know that any close would probably mean intiment death.
"Take it. And if you don't, I'm coming over there and making you take it," he said, his voice half warning. "... yes, it's a blood tablet. I know you don't want to, but it'll help, so just... take it. You can kick and scream and hit me all you want later. But please," he paused, his voice lowering. "Take it."

She really didn't want to..
But she could hear his hearts and it was deafening. Brutally deafening.
Looking down on the tablet, she saw no other way out. It was either this or she'd do something she regretted so terribly and then where would she be?
Holen'd do some kicking and screaming and hitting later... But not on him...
With her reflexes, any human eye couldv'e sworn she hadn't moved. Despite this perception, she brought the pill to her face after scooping it up from where it had previously lain..
One swallow, and it was all done.
In it went, gulping it down as if it was dreadful medicine a child needed to take for a cough.. Or something less lethal than a kitten like that.
Holen was shaking, her hands unsteady as she looked desperatly towards The doctor. Was he pleased? Had she done right?
Badum.... Badum...
Her expression was stirred once again. A look of pure shock and horror snapped across her face like an exploded firework as she clutched her chest. She gasped sharply.
A heart beat?
Inside...

All he had to hope that it would work... eighty-five percent sure was enough, right? Even though he would have liked to have been more sure before giving it to her, but that had been impossible given the circumstances.
As for what happened then, as relief seemed to wash over him for a moment, was the look of horror on her face. He didn't have to be a doctor, a timelord, just nothing but a normal man to recognize that she was clutching at a heart she wasn't supposed to have beating.
The Doctor was at her side in an instant, the stephoscope previously shoved in his pockets in his hands again, close to her to make sure she wouldn't fall and that she could clearly see what he was doing.
Badum, badum, ba- pause. Nothing but hollow echoing for a second or two. -dum ( ... )

In confusion and panic, she clung to him, latching a hand meekly onto his shirt as she struggled to cope with the sudden, unexpected re-appearance of her pulse.
What was going on?
Breath, Holen, Breath...
Doing as instructed was the only thing she could do; as it was, at the moment, the only thing she knew how.
The hammering was painful as she executed the proceedures of breathing. She made quiet gasps, her eyes filling with paniked, bloody tears. They tinged her face scarlet as they rolled down her cheeks.
It'd slowed, thumping even harder in it's last beats before it was silent.
And suddenly, the heart which was -just for a muinet- so full of life, lay once again dead in her chest.
She was dead again...

"Breathe," he repeated, quietly, stephoscope still in his ears. "That's it... breathe..." absently, he wiped a tear from her face. He had to be the calm one here.
He was lost in his thoughts for a moment, listening to the beats of the heart seeming to even out, like any normal human's heart would. Maybe he'd been listening too hard before when it had sounded like one trying to kickstart another? Of course he was, that was ridiculous--
And then he was brought back to the small patch of grass outside Lebenfried when the beating suddenly stopped banging against his eardrums. Gone, silent... like a vampire.
