I actually posted this on first then i decided to post it here.


Chapter 1:

Sometimes, leading a double life as a nightly crime fighter could cause problems. Like when an enemy figures out where you live and completely destroys your home with you close by. But, such was the life led by 24-year old Scot Chase Canvasback, also known as Twilight Drake, St, Canard's newest hero. She was honestly surprised no one had come out to see if she was okay. But her house getting destroyed wasn't the least of Chase's worries. It was the call she got immediately afterward.

Her cell had only rung a couple of times before Chase answered. "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Ms. Chase Canvasback?" A woman's voice asked.

Chase raised an eyebrow as she answered. "Yes, who is this?"

"This is the executor of the will of Mrs. Allysa Marblebeak, formerly Allysa Canvasback."

Chase's heart stopped for a moment, her beak dropping open. "Is Allysa alright?" She asked.

"I'm afraid she and her husband, Mr. Calvin Marblebeak, have been in an accident. They did not survive."

"What about Skye, their daughter?"

"Your niece is exactly what I'm calling about. In her will, Allysa named you Skye's legal guardian should anything happen to her and her husband."

Chase ran a hand over her face, brushing her black bangs out of her eyes, biting her tongue to keep from bursting into tears. "Where is Skye now?"

"Currently, she's being held in an orphanage here in Duckburg."

"I'll be there as soon as I can." Chase answered. "Thank you for calling." And she hung up. This was not turning out to be a good day. And to top it off, now was when her neighbors decided to come out.

Chase had been fourteen years old when her older sister, who was 19 at the time, had Skye. It didn't take long for the younger Canvasback to grow attached to her niece.

One of her neighbors walked over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Is everything alright, Chase?"

"Yes, everything is fine. I'm not sure what happened." As she spoke, the fire department and police arrived. She spent the next half hour talking to the police before she finally got the chance to leave.

As Chase went to walk back to her car, her phone rang again, which she quickly answered.

"Chase? It's Amelia. I just saw the news." Her best friend, Amelia Swallow, asked. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Mila." Chase answered. "I have a favor to ask."

"Anything."

"I'm heading to Duckburg to get my niece."

"Is everything okay?"

"No. I just found out that my sister and brother in law were in a car accident. They were killed and now, I'm Skye's legal guardian. Do you mind if we stay with you for a while until I find us a new home?" Chase wiped her bright blue eyes as tears started to fill them.

"Of course. Stay as long as you need."

"Thanks. I bet Jordan will enjoy having us around." She hung up the phone as she climbed into the driver's seat, starting the car and heading for Duckburg.

It took about four hours to get from St. Canard to Duckburg and an extra half hour looking for the orphanage. Chase had only been to Duckburg a few times and still got lost very easily. Soon enough, she pulled in front of the orphanage. Turning off her car, she got out and ran inside to the front desk.

"Hullo, my name is Chase Canvasback. I'm here to pick up my niece, Skye Marblebeak."

"Sure thing, but first can I see some ID? We can't just let the kids run off with just anybody." Chase nodded and took out her wallet, handing the woman her ID. After looking it over for several minutes, the woman nodded and handed it back to Chase. She stood up and led Chase to one of the rooms.

When she walked in, she found herself in a room with six beds on either side. Sitting on the bed closest to the window was her niece. She had the hood of her purple hoodie pulled over her head, her knees drawn up to her chest as she wrapped her arms around herself.

Chase walked slowly over to the bed and sat down next to Skye. Skye jumped and looked up, her green eyes filled with tears. She wiped her eyes as Chase pulled her hood off, revealing messy black hair. She held out her arms as the duckling jumped into Chase's arms, sobs wracking her tiny frame.

Chase wrapped her arms around her niece, running a hand through Skye's hair. They stayed like that for nearly an hour before Chase pulled Skye off of her, the younger duck looking up at her aunt. "What's going to happen to me now, Chase?" She asked.

"Well, you're going to come live with me." Chase replied. "Your mum made me your legal guardian, so you'll be living with me from now on."

"I have to leave Duckburg?"

"Well, since I live in St. Canard, yes."

"St. Canard does have the awesome Twilight Drake!" Skye exclaimed, wiping her eyes and giving Chase a small smile.

"Don't let Darkwing Duck and his ego hear you say that." Chase said, smiling, earning herself a chuckle from the ten-year old. "Grab your things and we'll get going." Skye nodded, grabbing the few possessions she had with her.

"Can we get some things from home?" Skye asked.

"We'll come back another day. For now, we need to get back to St. Canard." Chase replied.

"Okay."
