I don't own the Mighty Ducks, but I do own Gabrial
Duke's Pov
I will never forget that night. The night I found Mallory sitting alone in the kitchen, looking so sad. I never knew that would be the last time I ever saw her. Oh please! Forgive my manners! It is best to begin at the begining I suppose. I had woken up in the middle of the night, and I couldn't fall back to sleep. So I went for a little walk which led me to the kitchen. I will admitt that I was surprised to see Mallory sitting at the table, starring off into space. I had slowly approached her, and sat beside her. She knew that I was there, but I believe that she was afraid to notice my presence. Knowing what I know now, I should have held her in my arms then, but I didn't.
"Mallory, is everything alright?", I had asked.
"What would you do if something was to happen to me?", she asked in a sad tone.
"Like what? Nothing serious I hope", why didn't I take her seriously.
"Death. My death. Would you mourn me or forsake the memories of me all together?", she had asked in the most sad voice I have ever heard.
"I could never forget you Mallory. You are a soul that is hard to forget. What has brought this on?", I asked her softly.
"Do you love me?", she asked suddenly.
"Mal....I....ah.....", I had tried to put the words together in my head, but they came out all wrong, "Not in the way that you want me too".
"Then my passing will go un-noticed. Thats all I wanted to know.......Duke, I love you, and you will be the only one I'll ever love. This is my last chance to say this. I'm sorry you don't feel the same, but this is how I feel", she said to me, she got up out of her chair. Before she left, she turned to me one last time. A tear slipped from her eyes, those beautiful emerald eyes. She turned and left the room, where she had gone then, I don't really know.
That was the last time I ever had the chance to tell her how I felt. The very next day, Nosedive was captured in battle. Without even thinking about it, Mallory traded herself for Nosedive. She had looked at me one last time before her life was taken from her. Nosedive had been spared, but Mallory was not. I kept to myself for a long time after that. She knew that she was gonna die. I don't know how but she did. I love her. And I will never get to tell her.
-A Few Months Later-
I have never stoped thinking about Mallory. I miss her so much. Wildwing had called us to the control room one day. Nobody knew what it was about, untill we arrived. There was a man there, a human. He had long black hair, and piercing blue eyes. He said his name was Gabrial and he said he had news of the fallen.
"What do you mean by that?", I asked him.
"Your fallen teammate has sent me here to give you a message", he replied, handing Wing a scroll. Gabrial bowed, then disappeared. I watched Wing's expression change as he read the scroll. His eyes widened, and the scroll fell to the floor. I cautiously picked the scroll up, and began to read it. I couldn't believe it.
My old friends,
I am sure that you are shocked to hear from me, considering that I am dead.But not for long. I have been given another chance at my life. I am returning to you. Since I gave my life to save another, I have gotten my life back. I am excited to see you all again. We will see each other very very soon. Until then, keep living.
Love, Mallory
I read the scroll over and over again. She was coming home. This was my chance to tell her how much I really cared. Or maybe she already knew. I wanted her by my side. I couldn't believe what a blessing had been given to me. I want her back. Now there is only one more thing left to do.
Wait.......
