Forgotten ~ Ben Pincus x OC

Season 1: Prologue.

I stare at the white walls of Mr Masrani's office. Tapping with my heel on the ground, waiting impatiently about whatever this meeting my father is having by with Mr Masrani. I know it is something about me, but my father refused to say anything to me about it.

I remember his reasoning clearly. 'If i tell you, you will protest so badly I can't even lay the idea with Mr Masrani.'

It made me think about whatever this had to be, not in my favour though, if he doesn't tell me things because i would protest too much, is clear that it's not in my favour. From my perspective because my father would end up reasoning with me after that, with the words of 'it's for your own good, Daphne.'

I wonder if it ever is.

The door opens, i look up at the exit of the office. I find it odd that Mr Masrani has a waiting room in his office. As if he especially build it for me to wait in. I have never seem anyone else wait in this room.

I see a familiar red head walk into the room, her serious expression quickly turns into amusement. She looks as powerful as ever, her hair neatly trimmed like she had seen the barber this morning. For a woman that is that busy, she looks not tired at all or overworked. She's always been calm and collected and i admire her for that.

"You can't be parted from Nibble and Nugget, can you?" Claire asks me, her voice full of amusement.

I shrug my shoulders. "I tried, Nibble bit me in disagreement."

She laughs, stroking my hair. "That's not nice of Nibble."

"Nugget didn't agree either, he hid behind my back, so I couldn't reach him." I tell Claire.

She wanted to say something else but the door to the inner office of Mr Masrani opened, revealing my father and he raised an eyebrow at us. He's probably thinking that we're having some kind of girl talk.

Claire gets up from kneeling down in front of me and i follow her up onto my feet. My father mentions for us to follow into the room.

I follow Claire into the room, my father allowing us to pass him and grabs my shoulders to steer me to one of the two chairs on opposite side of Mr Masrani's.

Mr Masrani has always been a very nice man to me. He allowed me to have Nibble and Nugget on me at all times, i was allowed to carry them all over the park. I was allowed to take them into the labs and in public spaces, where there weren't that many people.

Mostly since Nugget and Nibble wouldn't leave my shoulders or pant pockets. But for some reason, they didn't like to be around their own species and rather with me at all times. Maybe because i fed them well and gave them a lot of affection. Or maybe because they were male compys and not female and weren't supposed to be alive since they were supposed to be engineered to be females. Dr Wu let me keep them if i raised them myself and my dad allowed me to since i was working with raptors.

"Daphne, you're aware of Camp Cretaceous, right?" Mr Masrani asks me.

I nod my head, looking up at my father, who was standing behind me with his hands on my shoulders. "Yes, a camp for kids to enjoy the park and get some vip experiences from behind the scenes."

Mr Masrani nods his head. "Good."

I feel my shoulders get squeezed by my father. "We were thinking of having you join the first group."

I shake my head, shocked at what my father suggested. "No, I don't want to." I say as i cross my arms over my chest.

I don't need to go to some kids camp, i have raptors and compys to care for. I don't want to do anything that i have already seen a hundred times. Besides, i know that the first group are just some vip kids. I don't know who, but I don't want to hang around with other kids.

I hear my father sigh, i look up at him. He looks down at me with his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. "You're a kid, Daphne. This will be good for you, to hang around someone of your own age."

"I know." I say to my father. "I just rather spend my time with dinosaurs."

Claire gently holds my hand, making me look at her. "It's not good for a girl your age to have no friends of your own and dinosaurs don't count, sweetie."

"You're a kid, who doesn't know how to be a kid." My father said, walking around me and kneeling down in front of me. "It's just two weeks, then you can be helping me train the raptors again. Besides, Kenji will be there too."

I sigh, i am not gonna win this with him. He's the raptor trainer not for nothing. I nod my head, what are two weeks on the rest of my life. So i guess i can make some friends and get the vip experience of the camp for a while.

"I will go." I tell my father, he sighs in relief. "On one condition, i get to take Nibble and Nugget with me."

"Deal." Claire says as i can see my father hesitate. "You won't be able to part those three from each other. So what is the harm in allowing her to tale the two compys with her, they never harmed anyone."

"I will allow it." Mr masrani tells us, i cheer and thank him.

My father nods his head reluctantly. "Fine, you get to take them with you." He tells me, standing up and mentions for me to follow him. He stops for a moment and looks at Claire. "I'll let you tell the camp head counsellor."

Claire agrees and the two of us walk out of the office. I follow him to the hallway, Nibble happily chirps in my ear and hops from one shoulder to the other, as if he understands that we're gonna go on some trip.

My father places a hand on my back, between my shoulder blades. "I'll drop you off tomorrow, when the other campers arrive."

"I guess i'll have to pack." I say, slightly unhappy with this arrangement but happy to see Kenji again. I hadn't seen him for a few weeks. I couldn't wait for that.

I couldn't have anticipated what would go wrong and that tomorrow would be the last time i would see my father in a very lo my time.
