The Take Back - A Chris Pratt Fanfic

Chapter 19

Author's Note: *IMPORTANT*
Okay guys, as you can see I really value all of your opinions. And for this I have had an idea for a while but I'm not sure if I should go through with it. The question is:

Should this sequel become a trilogy?

Let me know what you think! It would help a lot! :) Thanks!

Also this has Claire's POV but it's not going to happen often. Occasionally I'll put in someone's else's.

Enjoy!! :)

- Owen's POV -

I heard someone whisper my name but they seemed far away. Whoever the voice belonged too, I can't quite place it. What happened to me?

I did my best and to recall what happened in the past but all I remembered was some girl coming to help me shoot whatever attacked me. Then I fell off a cliff. That was all. I tried to move my body, so I am able to sit up but nothing happened.

I heard footsteps and I automatically thought that the creature that attacked me was coming back to finish me off. I was wrong. It wasn't the creature but a person.

"Owen." The voice whispered. It was that same voice that I heard moments ago. Still I could not place who it belonged too. I felt a soft touch on my wrist and then it went away.

"No. Owen, no you can't be dead. Please no." That voice. Who's was it? It was bothering me that I could not match it to anyone I knew.

The person took my hand and squeezed it tightly. As if they did not want to let go. And truthfully, I didn't want them to let go.

"I will marry you Owen. I will." The person said something one more time before everything was silent. The person was a girl. Was it perhaps the girl that was with me before I fell?

Then all was silent and whoever was next to me must have fallen asleep.

- Nicole's POV -

Owen was gone. Gone. I sat up and looked around me. He was no where to be seen.

"Owen!" I called his name and as I thought, no response. I got up and grabbed my gun. My eyes searched through the edges of the jungle and I saw nothing. Other than a few dragonflies.

I huffed and brushed a strand of hair out of my face.

'When I get back, I think I'll go for a different color.' I thought to myself and then I strapped my gun across my back and headed back into the jungle.

Truthfully, I wanted this all to be over. I wanted all the dinosaurs gone. Dr. Henry's Wu's head on a silver platter. Most importantly, I wanted Owen back. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

As I walked through the jungle and thought about Owen. What if I didn't actually find him and it was just my imagination. Or if I did but he was really dead and when I woke up, it was just a dream.

No, there was no possible way he was dead. He couldn't be because he was Owen Grady. I heard the sound of running water and I then broke out into a run.

There was a feeling inside me. A good one too. I ducked under tree branches and kept running. I can to a stop once I reached the edge of the river. I stopped dead in my tracks, for my eyes fell upon Owen.

"Owen!" I said, excitement sounding in my voice. I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around him. Embracing him in a hug.

"Oh god, Owen don't ever do that again. You gave me such a scare." I said and tears formed in my eyes but I blinked them away. I let go of him once I realized he didn't hug me back. Something was wrong.

"Not to be rude," he began to say. "but who are you?" he finished saying and I felt my heart break in two.

- Claire's POV -

Slowly I opened my eyes. The sun shone brightly and I squinted. After my eyes adjusted to the light I looked around me. Zach and Gray slept near each other. And Michael was sleeping close to me, which was slightly creepy.

Then my eyes landed on the spot where Nicole and Owen were. The problem was, they were both gone. I turned to Michael and shook him awake.

"Michael! Get up! Now!" I yelled and he sat up, startled.

"What the hell Claire." he said staring at me.

"Nikki and Owen are gone." I said and I got up and walked over to Gray.

"Gray, get up." I said nudging his shoulder.

"Ten more minutes." he mumbled back and I nudged him again.

"No ten more minutes. Nikki and Owen are gone. Wake up Zach." I said and then I walked back over to Michael.

"You need to learn how to wake up a person more nicely." Michael said to me. In response I rolled my eyes.

"What was with you sleeping close to me last night?" I questioned him, crossing my arms.

"I- I uh. I'm a restless sleeper Claire." Michael said and I just shook my head.

"Sure you are." I said and I looked over at Gray, who was still trying to get Zach up.

"Aunt Claire, he's refusing to get up." Gray said, annoyed. I walked over there and shook him.

"Zach, I don't care what kind of sexual fantasies you are having about Nikki. Get your ass up because she's gone and we have to go look for her. Owen too." I snapped and he sat up. I heard Gray laugh, which made me laugh too.

"Good, grab your gun and let's go." I walked back over to Michael.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I said and we all left, walking into the jungle.

"Gray! Could you shut up?" Zach yelled. The two have been nagging at each other for the past fifteen minutes and it was getting on my nerves. Finally I had enough.

"Both of you, shut up! Stop annoying each other. I don't want to hear any more of this." I yelled and both of them looked at me and nodded. They were quiet and we continued to walk through the jungle.

"Claire, I think, I know where Nikki and Owen went." Michael said and I looked over at him.

He was holding a shell casing and he gestured South. Gray ran ahead and we ran to catch up.

"Gray, don't do that. Again." I said stopping to catch my breath.

"You don't think they jumped, do you?" Gray said and I looked up, then realized we were standing on the edge of a cliff.

"I don't know. They could have. Especially if something was chasing them." I said answering Gray's question.

"Well whether they jumped or not, we still need to find them." Michael said.

"I just did," Zach said and he was looking off the edge off the cliff. We joined him and at the bottom near the edge of the river, both Nicole and Owen stood.

Relief flooded over me and I felt better but that good feeling didn't last long.

"Not to be rude, but who are you?" I heard Owen ask Nicole. She looked at him, and by the look on her face. Her heart was just broken in two.

"Owen, you really don't remember who I am?" Nicole said, now crying.

"I'm sorry. I honestly don't."

Wow. I am such an evil and mischievous person. Until next time.
