To The Sky (An Owl City Fanfic)

Chapter XXIX-'Cause after all those wings will take you up so high

My eyes opened and I was blinded by the sun. I yelled and sat up. We were still in the car on the highway, but we were somewhere different. Are we in Rode Island? I wondered. Daniel looked in his mirror and smiled. I told him good morning. I asked him where we are and we said we were an hour away from Coventry, Rode Island. I smiled. Almost home. My stomach growled loudly. Daniel laughed and got off an exit. We turned left and saw McDonald's, Burger King, Applebee's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and Denny's. I chose Denny's. We drove a few miles then pulled in the parking lot. We parked and got out. When we reached the door, it was locked. I frowned then we went back to the car. Daniel looked at me. He offered McDonald's. I nodded my head. He started the car and we made our way to restaurant.

We reached McDonald's and decided to go through the drive thru. I got a egg and cheese biscuit with water and Daniel got the same. We went to the window. Daniel paid and we got our food. We drove and ate at the same time. By the time we got back onto the highway, we had finished eating. Daniel got lost twice. I stared out the window. Thirty minuets later, I got a phone call.

"Hello?" I said

"Michelle?! Oh thank goodness! Are you okay?" I heard Dad ask with a hint of fear in his voice

"I'm fine. What's the matter?"

I heard Dad suck in a breath and didn't answer. There was twenty minuets of silence. Then Dad said he was fine. The way he said it, I knew he was lying. I asked him to be honest with me. I asked if Austin had captured him. Over the phone, I heard a gun shot, a yell, and the phone cutting off. A wave of emotions swept over me: anger, sadness, fear, and others. Slowly, I put my phone on my lap and tried to steady my breathing. It didn't work. I ended up punching the dashboard with my right arm. Pain shot up it. Not from a broken bone but my arm was going numb. What? I shook it out and the numbness went away. I removed the bandage and the cut was gross. I felt nauseated. My head started pounding in my skull. I squeezed the seat until my hands hurt. Daniel pulled over a safe distance away and began shaking me. I didn't respond. Everything was getting blurry. Then, he brought out an epipen. He jabbed it in my thigh. A few minuets after he removed it my head stopped hurting and my vision returned to normal. I asked him if he knew what's happen into me. Daniel said he didn't know. I sighed and closed my eyes and we drove the rest of the way.

An hour later we reached Coventry, Rode Island. I smiled as I saw familiar buildings. Then I saw Austin's car parked outside of a rundown movie theater. I told Daniel to stop but he kept driving. I began yelling at him and he ignored me until we reached a hotel. I stopped yelling when I saw Mom, Jasper, Gabriel, and Breanne. Daniel stopped the car and we got out. I stood there in a daze as everyone hugged me and asked me questions. I couldn't speak. Tears formed in my eyes and I started sobbing. Everyone froze and stared at me.

"Michelle, we'll find-"

I glared at mom and cut her off, "no."

She crossed her arms over her chest. Daniel, Jasper, Breanne and Gabriel sucked in a breath. I took of running the other direction I got hallway down the road when Jasper caught me.

"you're not going anywhere just yet," he said as he dragged me back to the hotel.

I was kicking and screaming until I was dragged through the hotel, and thrown down onto the floor of the hotel room. I looked up at them. Mom told me to stay put and that Gabriel and Daniel are going to look after me while mom,Breanne, and Jasper go looking for Dad. I watched them close the door. I crossed my arms over my chest and stared out the window. I pretended to cry and they came over to console me. In one swift move, I kicked them both and they staggered backwards. I grabbed a stick and ran out of the room. Then they started running after me. I ran faster. I went outside and bolted. A smile spread across my face as the wind blew my hair back. Dad, I'm coming after you, I thought.
