Raptor AU: Nightmare
Owen let out a shriek. He heard a scream, Claire's scream to be exact.
He sprung from a pile of pillow and blanket he'd been sleeping on and rushed to the direction of Claire's sleeping room.
Claire He chirped in specific tone that he used to call her as he headbutted the door open.
Claire was sitting in her bed, her mouth parting, panting heavily. His instinct told him to check her and the whole room for intruder.
"O-Owen" Her voiced was trembled as she called him when she snap out of what'd bothered her. Owen turned from the window he's looking. Claire held her shaking hand out.
Owen hopped down from the couch and headed to Claire's bed. His head met her hand and nuzzled it gently. He noticed tear stained on Claire's face.
"You're here Owen. You're here with me, right?" Owen chirped in confusion. He lifted his clawed hand up and tightened a grip around her wrist carefully.
No harm. No intruder. Claire just had a nightmare.
He clicked his tongue and tried to say her name. Claire burst down in tear. She had her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. She pressed her face against his neck and sobbed in his chest.
Owen moved his hand to squeeze her shoulder. He waited until she calm herself down.
Claire hugged Owen's neck tightly. He was warm.
Unlike in her dream that he was cold, breathless, had no heartbeat and lying dead in her arms. His blank eyes taunted her forever.
No, Owen's heartbeat's ringing in her ears and his breath was steady.
And he's here with her.
"I had a dream about that night" She stammered. "I hold you in my hands when you-you
Hissss Owen shushed her. Claire pressed her lips to force any sob back. Owen broke from Claire's hand and climbed up her bed. He laid his head on her shoulder. Claire wrapped her arm around under his arms and pulled him close, then slowly stroke under his long jaws.
"I'm glad you're back" She finally said. Owen half-opened his yellow eyes and open his mouth in an attempted smile.
I'm glad that I have this second chance too
Okay, so this is a part of small AU I have in mind. Owen died when he tried to protect Zach and Grey in the final battle. Claire remained her position as park manager of newly-opened Jurassic World. She had a raptor cloned to be Blue's companion. (In this AU all the three raptors die) Then it turned out that this raptor is Owen who had been granted a second chance.
This AU has nothing to do with Blue's days off.
