As everyone was leaving the island, Owen was going to move back to his hometown in Pacific Grove, California. Barry helped him pack and move things out of his bungalow. Sophie ran and played in the front yard.''Thanks again for helping me pack'' Owen said to him. ''No problem'' replied Barry, ''Are you sure she's going to be ok?''. ''Yeah, we'll be fine'' said Owen, ''She needs to be somewhere where she can be safe and get a fresh new start''.
''I think you're going to do good at this''
''I hope so''
Claire walked towards Owen and Barry. ''I'm going to leave you two alone'' Barry said to him before walking away. ''So you're leaving?'' Claire asked.
''Yep''
''Well, I hope Sophie has a great life with you''
''Thanks. You should come visit us sometime''
''You know, I'd like that''
''Daddy, are we leaving yet?'' Sophie walked up to Owen.
''Not yet, sweetie'' Owen replied, ''Do you want to say goodbye to Claire?''
Sophie nodded her head. ''I'm going to miss you'' Sophie walked to Claire and hugged her waist. Claire was touched by the girl's innocence and affectionately hugged her back. She looked at Owen and he smiled.
After Owen says goodbye to everyone else on the island, him and Sophie traveled to Pacific Grove. After they got there, Owen brought new clothes and toys for Sophie. Owen lived in a typical blue house that was two blocks from downtown. It was fascinating than it seemed as it had an upstairs deck, a pool in the backyard, and a fireplace in his living room. Owen ordered pizza for dinner and Sophie slipped into a new pink nightgown that he brought her.
Later that night, Owen woke up to a chilling scream coming from Sophie's bedroom. He got out of bed and rushed to bedroom. He found Sophie kicking and thrashing about in the bed. ''Daddy! Daddy help!'' she screamed. Owen rushed to her bed and took her in his arms. ''Sophie, wake up for me, sweetie'' he tried to calm her down. Then, she stopped kicking. As soon as Sophie opened her eyes, she looked up at Owen and started to cry.
''Daddy, the dinosaur was going to hurt me'' she sobbed.
''Shhhh, I'm here, sweetheart. You're ok. I got you'' he soothed. He kissed her forehead and rubbed her back in small circles.
''Daddy, please don't let me go'' Sophie said.
''I'll never let you go'' Owen replied.
Then, Owen held on to Sophie and slept in her bed.
A/N: I got kind of lazy with this because it was like 4 a.m. when I finally finished this. Please review and tell me what you think!
