Sooooooo sorry for not updating, tooth was killing me. Welp, ONWARD!

Owen was watching TV while Claire stood on the balcony, ignoring the strong winds and the rain. But she could not ignore the slow creak-creeeeak of the balcony. Claire was debating whether or not to trust how stable it was when suddenly it fell upon her. She was trapped in a free-fall with nothing to grab. She was thinking this was her end when something gripped her shoulders. Claire looked up and was suddenly thankful she couldn't go anywhere without dinosaurs. It flew up shakily, it's grip slipping. She screamed, but it was whipped away by the wind and Owen didn't hear her. Then it dropped her. Claire caught hold of part of the balcony, desperately attempting to get a foothold. Her grip was slipping with rain and sweat, and her footholds wouldn't last long. She yelled at the top of her lungs, but nothing heard her over the screaming wind.

Owen looked over, noticing Claire was gone and saw a hand slowly slipping down a bar. "CLAIRE!" He screamed, running over and leaning over the railing. She looked up at him with sad blue eyes, her expression one of horror. Owen grabbed her wrists and swung her up just as she began to fall. He carried her to the couch and simply held her. She was shaking uncontrollably and crying onto his shoulder. Then he realized the door was open and a Pterodactyl walked in. "Aero, is that you?" Owen asked the dinosaur as it tilted it's head. Claire shifted so she could see it. Immediately, it ran up to her and put it's beak under her hand. He looked guilty, and indeed he was. "That's the Pterodactyl t-t-t-t-t-hat tried t-t-t-to pick me up. I think it...tried to save me." Claire said between sobs, petting it's head. "He was trained to be friendly, and he knew you a long time ago, but I didn't think he'd assess you as very, very, important. This is Aero, remember?" Owen asked, joining Claire in petting the Pterodactyl. Claire nodded, recalling watching him hatch. He'd always been teased by the other Pterodons and Pterodactyls, hated for no reason. She hadn't really made a strong bond with him, but then it clicked. "He knew me when we...started dating." Claire said, still sobbing, but less now. At the mention of the last two words, they both stiffened. Aero clicked his tongue against his beak and looked toward the door, then tilted his head. Owen nodded and their new friend flew off. "You're right, he...did." Owen confirmed, remembering their unsteady relationship. She pressed closer to him and he laid a hand on her hair. The pair fell asleep comfortably.

The I-Rex was coming at them...Closer, closer...Before Claire could do anything, Owen lept in front of her and the kids, and the Indominus chomped. She screamed his name in horror as the boys were eaten, and she was next. The jaws were almost around her, and then..."Claire? CLAIRE?!" Owen shook her, she had been crying and mumbling in her sleep. Her eyes flew open wide and she started sobbing. He pulled her closer. "Bad dream?" Owen asked. She nodded. "Want to talk about it?" He asked softly, rubbing her back. She shook her head, sighed, and got up. It was morning. Owen helped Claire fix breakfast while asking her questions to calm her down. "What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you?" Owen asked. "Well, I was going to go and tell you that you had to start training the Raptors. As I was waking, I wondered what I was doing, because you'd been training them for years. I turned back, and my heel got caught on something. I fell flat onto my face." She laughed. This was easier than he'd thought. Next chapter will be a break, some fun. See ya!
