Claire woke up on the ground, slightly disoriented. She felt a sharp pain in her head and reached up to feel her head and found it was messily bandaged and wet with blood. I must've hit my head when I fell.

She stood up and quickly looked around for her captor and found she was alone. She hastily pulled out her phone to see if Owen had responded to her message and felt new tears forming in her eyes when there were no updates on her phone and sunk to the ground.

She tilted her head back at stared at the ceiling. She caught a glimpse of the outline of the trapdoor and swiftly jumped to her feet while reaching up to push on it, it opened. She closed it and thought, I was probably in too much shock to realize that I could get out. As a fresh wave of adrenaline hit her she formed a plan to escape. She patiently waited for Dr. Wu to return which only took a few minutes before she violently threw her phone at the glass.

"You forgot to take my phone, come get it." She shouted at the radio. While Dr. Wu didn't really want to go into the room to get her phone from her and was wondering why she offering it to him in the first place, if he knocked her out to go get it, it might mess with her 'programming'. So, he reluctantly opened the door and walked in to retrieve her phone, carefully locking the door behind him, using a pass-code.

"Alright hand it over." Claire walked over and picked it up, surprisingly it was still in one peace, and then chucked it at Henry's face.

The jump scare had him distracted just long enough for Claire to run over to him and punch him in the face hard enough to bring him to the ground. She proceeded to kick him in the stomach and pull his body over to the space underneath the trapdoor; she punched him again hard enough to make her hand bleed and knock him unconscious.

Once she had him in a curled position she reached up and pushed the trapdoor open and climbed on top of the Dr.'s slumped body. It heightened her just enough so that she could pull herself out of the room. She then found a heavy cart with textbooks on it and slid it over the trap door and started running back to the hotel to find Owen.

Unfortunately for Dr. Henry Wu, Owen had just found the hidden room underneath the lab after reading over a few pages of blueprints that he'd found in the control room and he was still very angry.

He found Henry still unconscious in the glass room next to Claire's busted phone and from the look of the trapdoor, he figured Claire must have escaped and while he was extremely proud, turned on and worried, he was wishing that he could've knocked Dr. Wu out himself.

Figuring Henry would be out for a while; Owen decided to look into what the Doc was doing to Claire or at least trying to do to her.

On the computer, Owen found many files about Henry's previous experiments on dinosaurs. He was trying to create the perfect human- dinosaur hybrid and he had already successfully completed the first few steps of the procedure on Claire.

By the fifth step every other test subject had died but thankfully he had only completed the first four steps with Claire before she'd escaped.

There was a list of the adaptations that came with each step. Owen opened the one based on human test subjects,

1. Sense of smell improved by at least 40%.

2. Eyesight improved by 36%

3. Speed improved by 52%

4. Memory and strategic parts of brain improved by 63%

5. Skin transfer with selected dinosaur.

And step 6 was blank, probably for a good reason.

Owen was livid as he read how painful the process was for humans and dinosaurs alike, he turned back to the glass and saw that Dr. Wu was now awake and was desperately trying to get back out but was still obviously dazed from the beating he got from Claire.

Owen ran up to the door and pushed a few things in front of it to keep Henry from escaping, who by the way was very angry and confused and was shouting vulgar things through the radio.

Owen quickly ran back to the computer and scanned the screen until he found a button that read 'Subject Deceased' and clicked on it, he wasn't quite sure what it would do but he hoped it was painful. The glass room lit up in flames for a moment and when the fire stopped all there was in the room was a large pile of ashes that were swept away by an automatic cleaning system.

Owen was taken aback for a moment when he realized what had just happened but any feeling of doubt or remorse quickly left his body when he remembered that if Claire hadn't gotten out when she did, she may have died the same way. He quickly left to go find Claire.

~DO THE PAGE BREAK DANCE~

Claire had arrived at the hotel a few minutes before Owen left the lab and quickly ran up to the boys' room where she was greeted by Zach and Grays worried faces.

"Where's Owen?" She asked, knowing that he wouldn't just leave the boys. Zach spoke up first,

"He went to go find you after he got your text. We're really glad that you're okay, Gray and I were really worried." Claire felt slightly happy that the boys were actually worried about her well-being.

"Well I'm alright, I got out in time but I still don't know what Henry was trying to do to me. And my head hurts from when I hit it on the ground but I'll be fine." She put on a brave face but was actually really worried about Owen and hoped that he got back soon.

Luckily for her, he got back about ten minutes later and ran up to their room.

When he unlocked the door and stepped in the room he saw her sleeping on the bed. He smiled, until he saw the blood-soaked bandage on her head. He woke her up gently. She rolled over and opened her eyes, when she saw Owen she shot up in the bed and threw her arms around him in a hug bear hug which he gladly returned and nestled his face in her shoulder.

"I'm so glad you're okay." He mumbled, Claire once again felt tears forming in her eyes but at least this time they were tears of joy as she snuggled closer into him. A few minutes later he removed the bandaged and found a single cut which he cleaned and re-bandaged.

Later that night after they'd said goodnight to the boys they were snuggled up in the covers Claire looked at Owen and smiled, she kissed him gently and said,

"I think I love you." He smiled back at her and then replied with mock-disappointment,

"Well that's too bad because I know that I love you." She laughed and smiled back at him,

"Well then I guess that I love you too." They both laughed and snuggled into the covers and each other. Whatever problems they still had, they could deal with them in the morning.

This still isn't the end but I'm still totally lost on what to do next so any ideas that you guys have would be really helpful and I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to update. I've really missed writing and I hope to write a lot of chapters for you guys this week.
