To The Sky (An Owl City Fanfic)

Chapter X-Bird's eye view

I was in a room. A living room to be exact. My living room when I was younger. With it's green walls, brown carpet, a TV on the left wall and a sofa in front of that, and a bunch of little kid toys. Then I saw my younger self run in with just a tee shirt and underwear on. I laughed at myself. Then a man with brown hair walked in, scoped me up, and attacked my face with kisses. He was smiling and looking around like he was in trouble. Could that be Adam? I tried to speak but I couldn't. I tried to move but I couldn't. Oh my gosh! I can only watch and not interact! It's like I have a birds eye view of the place. Well I guess that is a good thing being this is from my past and it's a memory. Then a woman, a young version of my mom, walked in with another man who had curly dirty blonde hair. The curly haired man started yelling at the man with brown hair. The man with brown hair hugged my younger self close and backed up and moved toys out of the way. The younger version of mom didn't do anything. Instead she left. Way to go mom! I thought sarcastically. The brown haired man reluctantly handed me over to the curly haired man. I could tell he was about to cry. As the brown haired man walked away, dad, I guess I could call him dad, he brought out a knife and slashed at the brown haired man's left arm near his shoulder. He held his shoulder and cussed. Then he snatched the younger me out of dad's hands.

"I love you, Michelle," he whispered and kissed my forehead.

Michelle? My name isn't Michelle. My name is Sawyer. Or is it? Then dad took me from him and the brown haired man walked away sadly. My mind was swimming with questions. Is the curly haired man my father? Is Adam my father? Is my name really Sawyer Austin Woods? Was my memory erased at a young age and I got wrong memories in my head? Why am I having these strange black outs? Is my whole life one big lie?

Suddenly, my head pounded in my skull. A loud ringing noise filled my ears. Then my vision went white.

-----/-------/------/------

I yelled and sat up. I scanned my surroundings. I was back in my bedroom and Adam was beside me with a worried look on his face. He smiled and kissed my forehead. I stared at him with a weird expression. His face went bright red. I apologized. Then without knowing it, I rolled up Adam's left sleeve. My eyes grew wide at what I saw. I saw a scar. My feet moved me away from Adam and I started hyperventilating. It's him. But how?! I backed up against my desk and held on to it. My legs felt like jell-O. Adam stood up and advance to me. I moved to the right but ended up falling down with a loud crash. Mom rushed in and stood beside Adam. I got onto my backside and stared at them both with fear. I scooted back until I was up against the wall in a corner. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and collected my thoughts. Then I opened my eyes and stood up. I looked at both of them with a serious expression on my face. I clenched and in clenched my hands.

"What's my name?" I questioned even though it sounded utterly stupid

Adam and Mom looked at each other then back at me.

"Your name is Sawyer Austin Woods. Why would you ask that?" Adam asked

"What. Is. My. Real. Name?" I questioned again

Mom spoke, "Your real name is Sawyer Austin Woods. Is something wrong?"

I clenched my hands into a fist. Then I told them about my black out. When I finished, they stared at one another then whispered amongst each other and glanced over at me. Then they looked at me. Adam told me that what I saw didn't happen. I could tell he was lying because he couldn't look me in the eye. I punched him hard. Adam winced and looked at me with his big brown sad eyes.

"I....I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, Miche-I mean Sawyer. I'm a horrible person," Adam whispered as a man with curly hair walked in.

My hand slapped over my mouth to choke back a sob. Adam looked at the man then to mom then to me then back at the man. He stepped forward, smiled, and grabbed me. I started screaming and kicking as he dragged me away. Mom did nothing and Adam sat on my bed crying his eyes out. What is going on?! I yelled for Mom and Adam as I was taken downstairs and out of the house. Tears fell down my face like a waterfall as I was shoved into the back of a car. I'm going to die! I thought. I kicked and yelled. Then I looked out the window. We were moving fast. I had no idea where we were going but I knew I'm in trouble or I'm gonna get hurt. Then I thought about what Adam had said. He almost said 'Michelle.' Is that my real name? I pulled myself together and tried to relax. I started softly crying as we kept driving for another hour. I silently prayed:

Please don't let me die. Please don't let me die!
