Break the ice (Mighty ducks x reader)

8. Unexpected

With worry, I stared at the display. It was my tenth message in five minutes. Why isn't he replying back? Outside, slowly, the darkness fades and fog has captured the bus, there was no point in staring out the window. However, I cannot hear any other sounds of other vehicles nearby, like a journey on a lonely planet.

Meanwhile, Wild wing was checking the messages I have send, "She is panicking. Tanya, where is the bus yet?"

"In ten minutes in Santa Ana."

"We can make it." Duke grinned wide, whispering into Grin's ear. This plan doesn't involve all ducks, just the captain, Duke and Grin. But what is the plan now? It was pretty simple. Buzz was full of doubts, hoping that this will work. The migratory went on full speed, arriving at the airport five minutes sooner.

I jumped at the feeling, as the bus came to a halt. It was finally over. The driver stood up and faced his passengers with a smile, "We arrived in Santa Ana. If you want to continue your journey by plane, please wait at platform three. By bus, wait at platform two. Thank you for your patience and have a nice trip." In a hurry, I pushed myself forward, ignoring the complaints. Grabbing my luggage quickly, I ran towards the airport. My only hope is to be in the plane, before the ducks could get their hands on me. Thankfully, I only had a backpack with me, in case I need to make a runner.

But I didn't expect that I would need my legs this soon.

There he was, the goalie of the team, his eyes are focused on me. His first step in my direction was the signal to run, but where to? I never been at the Santa Ana airport and I don't know where the exit is. There is no time to ask or to check on the walls for guidance; just running aimlessly around the place was the only option just now.

Wild wing stopped his move, informing Duke through his device, "She is on her way to you Duke."

"Got it."

The thief of Puckworld wasn't too fond of catching little girls, but with me, he had his difficulties. On one side, I know who is looking for me, on the other; I wasn't interested to get captured that easily. I made this very clear, by throwing small luggage into his direction. Duke was impressed at this, "For a little human being, she is quite strong." In this situation, using his sword was pointless, since he doesn't want to damage the items, lying around his feet. With his one eye, he couldn't believe it. I was gone, out of his sight.

"Wild wing, I lost her."

"Don't worry, we find her."

"We?"

Their team captain was secretly in contact with the bus driver. Not only that, the man has to report to the station, where the entire airport and bus station is covered with cameras. It won't take long, till he saw me, rushing from one camera to the next. Where I was? Heading towards the toilets. No male, either duck or human, is allowed to enter the toilets. I knew I cannot stay for long, but to rest for a minute, it was the perfect place. I wasn't aware, that no female ducks was involved in Wing's plan, next off, was the window. For my size, it was the perfect fit, unaware that someone was already on the other side, waiting for me.

Wild wing and the others came together, while I screamed around that they should let me go. Grin had me thrown over his wide shoulder, keeping me in place. People began to stare at the group, especially as the goalie held me by the wrist, pulling me along. Like a little kid, he dragged me with him. The ride back home was way too silent for my taste. The manager Phil didn't speak to me, his target was more the team captain, discussing the next moves. Buzz is the only one that sat beside me, apologizing for getting me into trouble. I shook my head at this, "You did nothing wrong. I choose to break in. I take full responsibility for what I done." The captain heard this, coming closer, "And this means, you take the consequences." I agreed with a nod. His eyes looked a little lower, "Is that my shirt?" I completely forget that, "Um...yes?" Expecting him to be angry, he just turned his back to me. Wild wing made sure that Buzz came home safely, before we returned back to the stadium.

It will take some time till I was able to see the boy again.

The ducks find it for the best, that my contact should be kept to a minimum. Their manager was just concerned about his money, ready to fight for his rights. Wild wing acted like a shield, protecting me from anyone who dares to get too close. The last thing he wanted is to cause any more trouble. Even his team was at the point of attacking me with words. The goalie decided, that it was not the time to discuss the issue any further, "We should let her rest before we let her know the consequences." At this point, he took full responsibility, letting me sleep in his room. Nosedive cleared his bed, staying in Dukes room for the time being. Wild wing grabbed my arm, looking very serious into my eyes, "Any attempt to escape and the punishments get a whole lot worse. Understood?"

I was glad, that he acted all calm and laid back; otherwise I wouldn't be this relaxed either.

Who knows, the consequences might not be so hard.
