True Serendipity (An Owl City Fanfic)

The Dare

"My daughter!"

"Our little girl!!"

Tears streaming down her face, the woman clung to a man who apperend to be her husband. "Oh, if only I had trusted my gut and kept her in my sight the entire time!!" She sobbed.

Every image and face was a blur, but without a doubt I knew that the distressed couple who stood in front of me, crying, were my parents.

Suddenly, a less familiar face approached them. But something about him felt suspicious...
"He's the man who kidnapped me all those months ago!! Agent C.... Agent C.T.-84, that's Him!" I shivered with fear.

I watched Agent C.T.-84 creep through my old living room space, when I still lived in New York with my family. He was hiding things under the sofa cushions and inside other weird places such as kitchen cupboards, but I couldn't tell what it was that he was hiding. Either way, I knew it wasn't good.

Agent C.T.-84 looked at me with a terrifying, evil gleam in his eye, then said, "didn't I warn you that we would find someone else to replace you for the job if you denied it?" He held up something in his hand as he spoke those words. Then, I realized what he had been stashing in my home. "Th-th- they are n-nucular filled.. diffusers!!" I screamed.

All of the suddden I had no clue where my parents were. "I need to warn them so they won't stay in this house and be poisoned to death from this toxic air!!"

"Momma!!! Daddy!!!" Tears filled my eyes and sweat drizzeled down my forehead. I felt so fatigue that I collapsed to my knees as if I were on the verge of passing out. I kept crying and screaming for my parents as the criminal went out of sight, but it seemed useless.

Suddenly, I heard three voices that I knew by heart.

"Ollie! What's wrong, honey??" The concerned girl sounded like my favorite redhead bestie.

I turned around and there stood Adam, Abbey and Katie, all asking what was wrong and trying to ensure me that I was okay. All I could do was yell at them to go away, because I didn't want them to be poisoned by the air either.

"No! Don't come any closer, Adam!" I shouted while sobbing as he began to approach me, begging that I'd relax. Abbey and Katie just stood afar, looking very worried.

I worked myself up so much and found that I was hyperventilating and lightheaded. I felt even more faint and then, everything went black...

———————————————————————

I felt a firm, manly hand press down on my shoulder. "Olivia, it's a dream. You're okay," a loving voice said.

Only half asleep now, I thought, "That's Adam."

Then, a gentle, dainty hand brushed over my brow line.

"That must be Abbey's touch"

My eyes fluttered open when I felt my hand being squeezed inside of Katie's, her big, blue concerned eyes starring into mine. "Ollie love, are you alright?"

I let out one last sob. "I-I- yes, I'm alright, thank you," I responded while wiping my eyes. "It was just a bad dream, I suppose." I felt so embarrassed when I realized that my face and pillow were both soaked in tears due to the crying I had done in my sleep. "It was about my parents," I added.

Abbey immediately pulled me into a hug and Katie combed through my long hair with her fingers.

Over the past three months -since July, when I arrived in here in Owatonna- it had almost become a custom to stay late at Adam's house every weekend night. But tonight, however, he had come over to us girls house instead, so that's where we all were when I woke up crying. It was only 5 'til midnight when I had been awakes from my nightmare.
