Chapter 4: Secrets
Peyton woke up at six thirty, got dressed and headed to the kitchen area. She entered only to see Duke and Wildwing up at this time.
"So how was your first night other than the nightmare?" inquired Wildwing putting down the paper.
"Fine Wildwing and Duke Thanks for coming to my room and calming me down enough to fall back asleep." responded Peyton.
Duke just looked at Peyton thinking what she could possible give her nightmares. He just smiled at her, nodded, and took a sip of his coffee. Peyton walked over to the coffee machine and poured herself a cup.
After half an hour the rest of the team walked into the room half alive. They started up on who they were going to choose from the draft. All during this period Peyton was just smirking knowing they could possible choose her. Then her father waltzed into the room with papers for the team's draft pick.
He then shot Peyton daggers making her smile drop from her face and he retorted ,"Why didn't you tell me you were in the NHL draft?"
"Never got time to tell you yesterday." responded Peyton shrugging her shoulders. He shook his head about to say something but didn't. Everyone in the room was looking at her as though she were an angel sent down from the heavens. She just shrugged off the looks and headed out the door as she grabbed her jacket.
Peyton was headed to the vehicle room feeling as though she was being follow which she was by Duke himself.
Once at the mall Peyton met up with Mookie to talk about Kris. Neither one of them notices Duke Get off a duckcycle but was noticed by Kris. Kris was pissed off from what Duke did to him the day before and wanted to show him that nobody got his girl, Peyton, even a duck.
After an hour of tracking them Duke laid off their trail and saw Kris come up to his table at the café he was at. "What do you want you little thief?" inquired Duke right off the bat.
"Oh just thought that you should know that Peyton is mine and no is allowed to touch her." informed Kris.
"Yeah right if you two were dating she wouldn't of turned you in" counter Duke smirking as he headed off for the Pond.
Once back there Duke walked past Phil's office seeing a picture in a dress on with skates over her shoulder on their bench. He sucked in there took the picture and headed to the kitchen.
Peyton was having fun with Mookie roller-skating like they used to when they were younger. They were talking about fun memories that were so hilarious that they were almost crying.
Duke showed the picture to the team when Phil walked in about to ask about it.
Duke then turned to him picture in hand and inquired, "When was this taken?"
"Elven years ago when Peyton just made it to Nationals for figuring skating." replied Phil taken a seat at the table.
"Why isn't she skating now or don't you have a recent skating picture of her?" inquired Wildwing staring at their coach.
"She doesn't figure skate anymore since the accident that happened." informed Phil rubbing his she did a perfect run of her performance in till the last minute of the song she went up for the spin , landed and landed wrong causing her left ankle to
"What accident?" insisted Grin calmly towards Phil.
"She kill me if I told you so don't say I told you guys. When she was thirteen she was at the regionals final round of skating. It was her turn to go up break leading to fall face first on the ice." explained Phil to the team.
They all gasped not skating for eleven years was a long time for a figure skater but she was still on the ice because of hockey.
Three hours later Peyton arrived back at the Pond not knowing that Draguanus was spying on her the whole time.
