"It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Nothing's wrong." Nick reassured Claudia as she woke up.

"Where am I?"

"In a hotel. Sit up." He whispered gently and began shining a light in her eye.

"What are you doing?"

"I have absolutely no idea," he admitted, "but I've seen them do it on ER, so there must be something in it. How are you feeling?"

"Okay, but there's just one thing, I can't see anything." She whispered.

"Oi!" Rose yelled as she saw Mickey approach, "where the hell have you been?" she asked.

"Just got ya message, only just got back," he explained.

"Back from where?"

"Holiday."

"When did you go on holiday?" she asked.

"About two weeks ago, you not notice?"

"Um..." she stuttered, "course I did." She smiled and cringed slightly.

"So, what have we got?" he asked.

"Dead bloke, pterodactyl, may not be the killer."

"Don't go in to too much detail or anything." He muttered and noticed everyone wasn't really doing anything.

"Yeah well, I'm bored."

"Wanna go for a walk?"

"Yeah, go on then." Rose smiled at him and jumped off the edge of the truck and began to walk away from the others, towards the woods.

"Where you two going?" they yelled after them.

"A walk." Rose yelled back simply.

"That's weird," Mickey muttered as he noticed something in the sky.

"What is?" Rose asked, not noticing Mickey had stopped.

"The birds," he pointed to the sky, and every bird in the sky, was flying away.

"what's scaring them off?" Rose whispered and she could hear branches moving behind them.

"do we dare turn round?" Mickey muttered under his breath.

"I think so." She whispered back, only to see a tree full of small pterosaurs, their beaky eyes staring at them.

"Um, do we run?" Mickey asked, but before Rose could even answer, they flew out of the trees as they seemed to have smelt something, luckily for Rose and Mickey, they flew right over them and they quickly dropped to the ground, waiting for them to fly over, and they sat there for a moment until they heard silence.

"We alive?"

"No, we're bloody dead." Rose spat sarcastically.

"Oh well, I'm clearly in hell then."

"Oh shut up."

"Stephen?" Cutter said as he answered his phone.

"Listen, you know that hunch of yours? You were right. Old leather face didn't kill the golfer. The beak, it's all wrong. The dung is the clincher."

"Yeah, let me guess, no human remains."

"No, just a few small reptiles and some fish bones. That's it."

"Yeah, Stephen, listen, I'm going to have to call you back. My phone's out of juice." Cutter quickly said as his phone beeped and hung up. "Did you catch any of that?"

"The pteranodon is innocent. What do you want me to do? Pay compensation? You have to admit it, you made a lucky guess."

"No you're missing my point. If the pteranodon didn't kill the golfer, then what did?"

X

"It's the blood, the can smell the blood." Cutter explained as they got away from the pterosaurs chasing them.

"Oh, God. Have I got much on me?"

"Um, a little bit, yeah. About the same as me. Give me your top." He said and this time without a thought or argument, Claudia took her top layer off, as did Cutter and they ran in to another room as they broke through the glass above them .

"There's got to be a phone around here somewhere. Okay, I think that there's one in the ambulance."

"You're going to go and get it?"

"Yeah. You're going to be safe here." He said and paused for a moment, and kissed Claudia on the lips, his hands cupping her cheeks. "I'll be back in a minute." He promised and quickly left to ambulance and raced there quickly and rang Ryan to get there quickly.

"Claudia Brown." Cutter whispered as he stared at the house that Claudia was in, which was now burning up in flames, nothing could survive if they were in the midst of that. "You scared the life out of me. You all right?" he asked as he sensed Claudia standing behind him, covered in soot and a scratch at the top of her head, blood faintly falling out of it.

"I'm fine. Helen saved me." She explained.

"Where is she?"

"I don't know. She's gone. Like a ghost."

"Yeah, no surprises there." Cutter muttered and Ryan ran over to them, along with his men, taking in the sight of the burning building, then back at Nick and Claudia, then he stared down at Nick's canister he was using to fire the pterosaurs.

"What? Yeah, it was me. It was me with a Zippo and a bottle of flammable gas." Cutter mumbled sarcastically.

"Guys, you'd better be quick. I don't think the anomaly's going to hold much longer." Connor yelled as he noticed the magnetic fade was fading and soon the anomaly wouldn't be there anymore.

"Here you go." Stephen said as he approached Cutter with a large red flag, ready for him to wave in the air as the pteranodon began to wake up.

"So, you're absolutely confident that this creature doesn't eat mammals?2

"Dung never lies. And if I'm wrong about that, at least you'll always have a special place in the history books."

"I always wanted to be famous. Let's do it." Nick yelled as they released the ropes that were holding the pteranodon down and lifted the sheet of it, releasing it and allowing it to fly up, only for it to go in the opposite direction of the anomaly and where Nick was waving the flag.

"Over here!" everyone yelled and waved their arms in the air, trying to attract as much attention to it as possible, trying to get it to turn back round. "Yeah! This way!" they continued to yelled and eventually the pteranodon turned round and began flying towards Nick, swopping over everyone, causing them to duck and flew right over to Nick, flying straight in to the anomaly.

"You reckon Helen'll come back?" Rose asked curiously that night as she lay in Stephen's arms.

"Don't know," he admitted and tried to shrug it off, "Like Claudia said, she's like a ghost, appears whenever she wants, and disappears again." He whispered and sighed slightly. Helen was a huge part of Cutter's life, and his life, but with Helen coming back now and then, he couldn't help feel doubt lying inside him, his relationship with Rose was growing strong, they enjoyed each other's company, they laughed together and they were around each other nearly all day, and it didn't feel like they were spending too much time with each other, it felt right, they didn't feel crowded by one another. But he knew that could all change, he had one secret, one secret with Helen, and he knew that could just change things with himself and Rose for good.
