Adoption Day

First night

I got this idea from Jadeshade so enjoy!

Ryan's Pov-

        "Night Riv." I said climbing into the big bed. River sat at the end of the bed, looking out the window. "The Star Search, again huh?" River nodded slowly. Ever since we got sent to the adoption center, River had been looking up at the stars to see if there was sign of finding our real parents. I knew there wasn't, but I didn't tell River that. "Tell me if you find anything." I said, ending my sentence with a yawn. "Okay." She whispered. I threw my shades lightly to the ground. I snuggled under the blankets and closed my eyes.I quickly fell asleep to the sound of River humming.

River's Pov-

        I began humming a soft song that Madam Maryam taught me, when Ryan and I still lived in the adoption center. Ryan started to snore lightly. I stopped humming and looked over at Ryan. She was wrapped up into the blanket, clinging to it for dear life. I smiled and turned back to the window. "Stars, even though we have finally been adopted can I have a sign to my real parents." I whispered. None of the stars twinkled and shone. There were no falling stars. There was nothing. All I could see was a bunch of stars just sitting there in the sky. Dumb stars. I yawned. I covered my hand with my mouth. No, I was determined to stay up and continue the search. But I felt my eyes getting heavy. And Eventually I curled up at the end of the bed and fell asleep.

Dave's Pov-

        "Do you think they'll be alright?" John asked, pulling his shirt over his head. "You worry to much, babe. They'll be just fine. Now hurry up and come to bed. The right side is getting cold." He smiled. "Are you sure you won't end up cuddling the pillow again?" I smirked. "Shoosh. Can we not mention that anymore?" He climbed in the bed. "Maybe." He grabbed my shades and pulled them off. I kissed his nose. "I can work with that." He giggled and placed my shades and his glasses on the bedside table. "Night Dave." I turned off the lamp. "Night."

Twin's dream Pov-

        The smell of gasoline was in the air. Sparks flew in the dark nighttime sky. The fire spread around the cement wall. Ryan looked up from her perch on a tree branch. "Shit. Its happening again. River!" She called into the darkness. "Over here." Came the faint reply. Ryan turned to voice to see River a few feet away from her. "Are you alright?" Ryan asked jumping down from the branch and motioning for River to follow. River landed beside Ryan and smiled. "Never better." River looked around her. "Where are we?" Ryan frowned. "Its the dreams again." River shivered in fear. "These scare me." Ryan wrapped an arm around River's shoulders. "Don't worry. I'll protect you. C'mon." They started walking toward the fire. "What is this place?" River asked. Ryan unwrapped herself from River. She walked closer to the flames. "I think its the adoption center." She mumbled. A moment later there was a small shriek. It came from River. "What's wrong?" Ryan ran up to her. River was staring at the ground, with tears in her eyes. "It's Madam Maryam." Ryan gasped. "Fuck, this is bad. C'mon, lets's move." River looked over at her twin. "We can't just leave her here." Ryan frowned. She was doing a good job of hiding her fear, for River's sake. "She's dead." River shook her head. "I'm gonna leave her here!" Ryan slapped River on the cheek. "Snap out of it! That isn't her. This is isn't really. None of this is real!" Ryan yelled, as the everything faded to black.

        "Where are we now?" River asked. Ryan looked up at the building. It was covered in flames just like the adoption center. "I think this John and Dave's house." Ryan looked at the flames, watching them curl around the building and burn everything in sight. "Are you sure?" Ryan nodded. "Yep, cause there's Kurla's dog house." Ryan pointed to the back yard, that could be seen from where they were standing. "No, no. It can't be!" River shouted. "What are you talking about?" River pointed to the ground. "Its Dave and John. They're dead!" This time Ryan couldn't hide her fear. They screamed in horrified unison.

John's Pov-

        An ear-piercing scream woke me from my slumber. The girls. I shook Dave. "Dave, wake up. Somethings wrong." He groaned and sat up slowly. "What's the matter?" I quickly got out of bed. "The girls are screaming." I ran out of our open bedroom door. I had insisted on keeping the door open just in case the twins needed us. I ran down the hallway and into their room. I quickly turned on the light. I looked toward the bed. Both of them were thrashing around and screaming. I felt Dave flash-step behind me. "Holy fuck. What's going on?" I walked to the bed. "They're having a nightmare. By the looks of it the same one." Dave flash-stepped on the other side of the bed. "Like the ones you and Jade used to have?" I nodded. "C'mon. We have to wake them up before they hurt themselves." I climbed into the bed and Dave followed. I pulled Ryan into my lap and shook her shoulder. Dave did same to River. "Ryan, wake up. Hey!" Ryan's eyes snapped open. "River, hey!" River shot up in Dave's arms. "Dave? John?" They asked in unison. "We're here." Ryan launched herself at me, while still in my lap. She wrapped her arms around my neck. "I thought you were dead." She whispered. I patted her back. "I'm still here." I whispered back. River whimpered in Dave's lap. "I saw you guys. you were dead." River wailed. "Shh! Its okay." Dave ran his hand over River's hair. "It was just a dream. Everything's okay." Ryan looked at me. "Can you guys stay with us tonight?" I looked over at Dave. He shrugged. "Of course." Dave picked up River and carried her to the light switch. He flipped it off and walked back to the bed. He climbed into it, still carrying River. We climbed under the covers, and snuggled as close as we could. "Its alright. We're here. We aren't going anywhere." I closed my eyes and Ryan gripped onto my arm. I smiled as I drifted off to sleep.
