995 Words
Brielle's POV :
The puck is placed between them and with the whistle from the referee the match starts .
Both starts off fast but Daniel grabs the puck and starts heading around Asher .
Asher doesn’t look hurried or tense at all as he leisurely goes after Daniel and somehow still manages to get the puck from him .
The match goes on for a good 15 minutes before the first round ends with our college winning.
Losing isn’t bad and Daniel isn’t someone who refuses to believe that he can’t lose.
He accepts defeat when he loses but not this time .
I look over at Dan’s team’s bench and I can tell from the expression on his face that he is pissed off .
And honestly? Even i am pissed off .
The whole match Daniel’s team were playing seriously while Elites were looking as unserious as possible .
They didn’t even bother grabbing the puck sometimes and directly snatched it from Dan’s team when they were about to score.
The whole match felt like the Elites were messing with Dan’s team and underestimating them too much .
“Don’t you think something feels wrong ? Why do i feel like our team is messing with them deliberately ?”Judy says with a frown and i bite my lower lip feeling worried suddenly .
I don’t have a good feeling about this second half somehow.
Just as i am busy watching Dan , goosebumps appear on my body and i freeze as i feel a cold and malicious gaze on me.
A shiver runs down my back and i whip my head to other side of the rink .
But unlike what i thought, no one is looking at me .
Or glaring.
I look over at the Elites bench and frown when i see Asher missing .
Strange..why did it felt exactly like how Asher’s gaze made me feel that night ?
Was i mistaken ?
“Who are you looking for? The second round is starting.”Judy say’s and i try to clear my head as i focus back to Dan .“I hope they win this round .”
“Can’t be sure about that . Elites haven’t even started playing yet . They were just messing around last round .”Judy say’s and i can’t disagree because it is true .
But why are they being like this suddenly ?
The second round starts in five minutes and Elites seem a bit serious this round as they fight for the puck .
The puck slides over from Elites and Daniel snatches it just in time before elites can grab it .
He rushes towards the opposite goal in full speed, passing the puck between his teammates.
Elites chase behind them aggressively,looking more serious than before now .
However, suddenly one player from the Elites shoves him from behind and puts his hand around dan’s neck from behind .
Dan struggles against him for a second before elbowing him hard enough to make him fall back .
But the player grabs dan’s helmet and in a hurry dan just takes it off and starts rushing forward , determined to win this round and get his pride back .
I hold my breath as he crosses the rink in a mere second.
He is close to the goal but just when he is about to shot, a large figure comes from the side crashing against him , pushing him off of balance .
They move so insanely fast that everyone is shocked . A gasp leaves my lips as i spring up from my seat and step forward .
They both crash against the boards with a loud bang but Daniel crashes head- first in it being squeezed against the large weight .
The crash is so brutal that the glass board smashes instantly, breaking into pieces as the elites player gets up and moves back .
Dan..
My heart thumps slowly as Dan’s figure comes into view and my eyes widen in shock as i see red coating his head and the rink below .
His head is placed in a weird angle from the crash as he lays on the ice with his eyes closed .
I grip the railing at the front as my heart races in worry and horror .
I am not the only one waiting for him to get up as the whole crowd has gone silent . Seconds pass by but he doesn’t get up .
Understanding that something is wrong, his team mates rush towards him and my heart tells me to quickly rush over to him too .
And i am just about to go downstairs when my eyes l slide down to beside the group checking on Daniel .
Where a certain large figure is standing, in his full hight without a hint of worry or guilt as he spins his hockey stick in his hand before his head snaps in my direction.
I instantly freeze when his gaze finds me in the sea of people instantly and a cruel and provoking smirk plays on his lips as if he knew all along where i was .
His shining blood red eyes look like a terrifying monster about to devour me as his lips slowly part and he mouths silent words .
‘You can’t run from me little mouse, the game has only begun .’
My heart trembles violently as my legs give out and i fall back on my seat , my hands trembling as i realise something .
I thought i was safe .
I thought i was doing a good job at running from him .
But it turns out i have been running around in his palm all along .
Johannas Asher is actually coming after me. And Daniel is just a start .
He hurt Daniel because of me .
