Just a heads up before we get started; I took the original chapter 8 down since things seemed to be get rather rushed when I was working on the next chapter. It will be reposted when I have beefed up the story a little more.

Chapter Ten: Angry Phone Calls.

"Clara? There's a phone call for you," Sunita called stepping out of their trailer, she offered a nervous smile to her friend knowing that this wasn't going to be easy; from what she had heard, the person wasn't very happy. Clara looked up from her work, a little confused about who could be calling her here; she had been very careful about who had her contact details while she was on the island.

Getting to her feet, Clara dusted herself off and moved towards the trailer that she shared with Sunita; she offered a smile to her friend knowing that things should be fine. Once inside the trailer, Clara headed for the phone curious about who could be calling her; she doubted it would be her friend calling her about her cat.

"Hello?" Clara said answering the phone, she rested against the counter as she thought about what might be happening back home; she was a little surprised that time had moved so quickly here. She had never thought that things would be so calm here and she surprised how busy her work kept her most days; she enjoyed the time that she got to spend with her new friends.

"Clara Alice Murphy… what the hell where you thinking?" Judith Murphy demanded furiously, she hadn't been able to believe what she had been told when she had decided to surprise her daughter with a visit. The fact that Clara had done this without telling her made her so upset, she had hoped to never have anything to do with those islands and the creatures that lived there ever again after what Alexis and Timothy had been through.

"Hi mum," Clara greeted nervously, she hadn't thought that this was how her mother would find out and she was dreading just what Judith might say over the phone. There was no denying that when her mother had something to say that there would be no getting her to stop; she could only imagine what had happened to the poor person who had told her.

"What the hell where you thinking? You know how dangerous that place is," Judith ranted unable to contain her rage, she had no idea who had approached Clara and talked her into going there but when she found out there would be trouble. There was just no way that she had thought this through before going there; the nightmares that her siblings had suffered from weren't enough to deter her at all. Clara sighed, she couldn't work out just how her mother had found out; not a lot of people truly knew where she was and she was sure that this wasn't going to end well.

"I came all the way to see you only to find out that you've gone to that island," Judith recounted, she very rarely got to see her eldest daughter and she hated that; she would never forgive her father for creating such a place. There had been a big fight after she had heard what had happened to her children, she had never forgiven him for the trauma that they had suffered and now Clara was there.

"I know you're upset and I am not going to say that I'm 100% safe but I am okay," Clara said trying to calm her down, she wasn't going to lie to her when things could go wrong and she wasn't going to jinx herself when she was still very much on the island. There was little that she could promise while she was here and she had hoped to have this conversation when the trip was over; she never would have considered her mother coming to visit her.

Closing her eyes, Clara could only imagine who else knew where she was and if her mother was this angry, she could guess what her sister was like right now. Alexis wouldn't be forgiving nor would she understand why Clara had come here; she would only take their mother's side in this.

Clara was silent as she listened to her mother rant, she didn't say anything and she doubted her mother wanted her to talk while she ranted about how stupid she was for coming here. It was going to be a long time before her family understood what had driver her to come to such a place; they wouldn't care that she was doing this to learn about the animals that their grandfather had created.

"I'll call you in a couple of days. Love you mum," Clara said before hanging up the phone, if she didn't do so now then she didn't know when she would get off the phone. The last thing that Clara wanted was for anyone to hear what was being said, it wasn't a pleasant conversation and she knew that it was something that she couldn't avoid forever.

Taking a deep breath, Clara tried to prepare herself to return to her friends; she didn't want to talk about this and Sunita would likely have questions considering she had been the one to answer the call. She could only imagine what had been said especially considering the ranting that Judith had done when she had spoken to her.

"Everything alright?" Daniel asked appearing behind Clara, he had heard Sunita say that Clara's mother had called and he was surprised that it had taken her this long to do so. He looked at Clara and frowned seeing the look on her face, he guessed that it hadn't gone well and he felt for her; he could only imagine how she had reacted.

"Fine… just wasn't ready for that," Clara admitted with a shake of her head, she moved away from the phone and turned to face Daniel; she still felt a little awkward around Daniel after what had happened. He offered her a smile and she knew that she would have to deal with her problems at some point; she wasn't going to be stuck on this island forever. Daniel nodded his head and moved aside to let Clara passed, he glanced at the phone knowing that her mother would probably call back especially if she was as upset as Sunita had hinted.

"You know you can talk to me about anything," Daniel offered sure that Clara could use someone to talk to, she was private about a lot of things and he wanted nothing more than to learn about her. It surprised him how guarded she was about her life before the island and he knew just what she was hiding; he just wanted to be prepared for whatever was sent their way.

"Thank you but I'm good," Clara replied continuing to walk away, she wanted to get back to her work and she was sure it would be a good distraction from what had just happened. She didn't want to think about her talk with her mother, it was something that would play on her mind for a while; she and her mother would never agree on what she wanted to do.

Daniel watched her walk away and frowned, he didn't know what had happened on that call but he doubted that it had gone well; he could only imagine what her mother had to say about all of this. He shook his head knowing that getting too attached to Clara wasn't a good idea, he had been sent here for a reason and he couldn't get distracted.

His employer would not be pleased if things didn't go as planned and there was so much at stake right now; he couldn't share his mission with anyone since he didn't know who to trust. Daniel had no idea what his employer expected to happen, everything seemed routine so far and the files that he had been stealing from George hadn't shown him much.

He felt like he was missing something and the last thing that he needed was anyone getting the drop on him; he was here to make sure that nothing happened. Heading back to where Clara had sat down with the others, Daniel wondered if any of them had any idea just how much danger they were really in by being here.

It was only a matter of time before his real reason for being here came to light and he doubted any of them would trust him then.
