Claire's POV:
I feel awful about last night, not only had I made a fool of myself but I'd probably scared Maisie and maybe even Owen. Slowly I began to open my eyes and quickly realised that me and Owen we're intertwined. We don't wake up like this normally, we're not together. I don't think. We never talked about the little moment we shared after the indoraptor attack, Which I still haven't fully recovered from yet the wound likes to open up now and again. Anyway,here's the full story of that night. He had said that he didn't want to leave me but I knew that Maisie needed Owen more then I did. At the time I had put on the bravest face I could and pulled him In for a quick but passionate kiss and told him to leave and find Maisie.
I remember leaning on that fake tree really thinking that was it for me, my leg was bleeding a lot to the point where I thought that the Indoraptor could of hit a major artery. I panicked, trying to listen to Owen's words floating around in my head;
look at me. Apply pressure.
After calming myself down I dealt with my leg the best that I could and then I heard them. Maisie's deafening scream and the sound of gunshots sent tingles down my spine. Fear struck me, I knew I had to get up and moving to help them. I put as much of my weight on to my bad leg as I possibly could to try and stop myself from limping and from walking so slow. I finally made it up the stairs and outside of what looked like it could be Maisie's bedroom. It was trashed. I quickly looked around the room and noticed a smashed window with a hole big enough for a raptor, maybe even two. Then I saw Owen. He and Maisie were almost right to the edge of a glass building, my heart was in my throat, I noticed Maisie was still slightly moving backwards and holding on to Owen's arm for dear life.
She's gonna pull them both off.
I wanted to run to them but I knew I was to weak I'd never make it. Then I heard Maisie scream again, this time I did to. My eyes started to water, I thought I'd lost them until I saw Owen's grab onto some part of a statue sticking on the outside of the building. I breathed for a second until I realised that the Indoraptor was still advancing towards them and now they were at a disadvantage now. Double checking the room I found a gun lying on the floor in-between the chaos of Maisie's room.
Shit, no bullets.
Then I remembered the laser and the acoustic and instantly knew what I had to do. Being as careful as anyone can climbing through a broken window with a pretty deep cut on their thigh can I then slid down the roof tiles just seeing Owen pull Maisie back up to her feet but then watching as pure terror took over both of them. I didn't care anymore, I had to get up on to that glass roof. I tried running the best that I could instantly feeling my thigh burn and sting watching a new pool of red cover my jeans. I was in a crazy amount of pain but i didn't care. I got to the top and started screaming and hitting the metal with the bottom of the gun trying to get the monsters attention. It quickly turned it's head towards me, i could feel Owen glaring at me most likely thinking that I have a death wish. I took a quick glance at Owen after coming up with the stupidest idea but if anyone could make it work it was Owen Grady. I lifted the gun up to my eye level and shot the target on to Owen, once the Indoraptor had locked on I took a deep breath in hoping that this was gonna work other wise I wouldn't be able to live with myself. the gun was now lined up perfectly and the Indoraptor has locked on, I give myself a couple seconds before I press the acoustic;
okay, okay... three, two... one.
The dinosaur charged straight for Owen just as planned. Owen then slides down the glass with the Indoraptor close behind until it puts all of her pressure on to the glass and it starts to break right under her claws. I shoot Owen a look of disbelief not believing that it actually worked. well, with the help of blue of course. After all that we never spoke about what happened in the display case, we just got a little caught up in trying to stay alive.
If I'm honest that kiss is one of the only things I'd like to remember from those couple of days,but I don't think Owen would feel the same way however I can't really read him. I never have been able to. Finally I decide to untangle myself from Owen and head to the kitchen like I do every morning to get my daily cup of tea. I go to sit down on one of the stools and notice and thick line of red slowly making its way down my thigh. "Ugh, why now". I tried walking to bathroom without screaming out in pain trying not to wake anyone up but I failed miserably.
"Claire... are you okay?"
Owen came practically flying down the stairs
"Are you hurt what happened... It's your thigh again isn't it?"
Owen looked disappointed almost and I knew why, after Lockwood's estate he wanted me to get my leg looked at to check for any infection but me being me decided that I didn't need to and it was a waste of time. Owen was Definitely right, I should of listened but we needed to be there for Maisie my leg isn't an issue. Or wasn't until now.
"Look I'll be fine, just help me get to the bathroom and I'll clean it..."
Next thing I know I'm weightless as I'm lifted bridal style to the bathroom. My heart was skipping so many beats it had no rhythm. I wrapped my arms around his neck completely relaxing.
"I told you so"
"Huh"
I was in a complete day dream
"I told you that you needed to see a doctor"
"Really...You're bringing that up now"
"Sorry, I just like being right".
I rolled my eyes slightly agreeing with him. He sat me down on the side of the bath.
"Thank you" I sent a quick but shy smile his way and he left me to clean up my wound. God what is he doing to me.
