Claire's POV

After a long, awful night in the sticky, wet cave- my morning was worse. I woke up with blood around me. I cried out in pain. Luckily Zach was out for food. The baby. I had lost the baby. My baby, Owen's baby, a little human being. I wrapped my arms around my stomach, still crying.

***
After a couple of hours of crying, I had managed to pull my act together. I couldn't let Zach know. I had cleaned the blood spill up a while after it happened.

"Claire?" Zach asked me.

"Mhmm?" I asked, staring into space. He sighed and sat next to me.

"I got some food, coconuts, fish, and meat," he smiled.

"That's good, but I'm not hungry."

"Well, I am," he said while prying open the coconut. I smiled, but then it quickly disappeared. It was hard to be happy when you know someone you love is gone.

Owen's POV

I was alone. Gray still wasn't waking up. I was beginning to worry for his health, and my own. I've talked to myself sometimes, and I've seen bright lights. But I know I'm just hallucinating. One night I had the weirdest dream, but I know it wasn't true.

"Owen!" Claire screamed. I looked back at her, her eyes red from crying. I reached out to comfort her, but she disappeared before I could reach her. But her voice still echoed through the white room where she once stood.

"Claire?" I called.

"I'm right here, Owen," she smirked, " I'm here."

Her voice became louder and louder, still echoing. I collapsed to the floor covering my ears, and I shut my eyes.

When I opened them again, I saw Claire and another person, who was just a black silhouette.

"Please, please don't do this," Claire begged. I looked back at the person and I saw a metallic gun, with his finger on the trigger. I heard Claire scream before I could help her. She fell to the ground, bleeding everywhere.

"Claire," I whimpered.

"The baby," she croaked. And then she was gone.

I woke up from the dream, right when Claire had 'died' in my arms. What did she mean by 'the baby'. Claire wasn't pregnant, she would've told me- besides it was just a dream. Right?
