The Pucking Match gate return
The small clock above the kitchen stove clicked as it reached eleven in the morning. Thomas stood in front of the wall security monitor, watching the green perimeter lines. Outside the kitchen windows, the fog was beginning to lift beneath the bright morning sun, leaving damp patches across the gravel driveway.I had barely touched my coffee. The cup sat on the counter beside me, its contents already cold. Every few seconds, my eyes drifted toward the hallway leading to the back bedroom. Caspian had been playing quietly with his blue dinosaur when I left him. I could still hear the occasional sound of his little voice through the partially closed door.He had no idea how close we had come to losing the life we were trying to build for him."The Vipers team bus just cleared the campus gates," Thomas said, breaking the silence. "Christian finished his meeting with Dr. Sterling. The athletic board locked your tuition waiver into the registrar database ten minutes ago. The Vance family ac

The bronze gates of the south avenue block clicked shut behind the delivery van. Thomas kept the vehicle moving at a steady pace down the narrow stone driveway, the heavy tires rolling over the wet leaves without making a sound. The thick city fog swallowed the back bumper instantly, hiding our location from the main highway.I climbed out of the rear cargo hold the moment the brakes locked. My sneakers hit the damp stone steps with a fast thud. My arms held Caspian securely against my front fleece jacket. His small head rested flat against my shoulder as he let out a soft sigh. The cold morning breeze felt clean, completely free of the pine scent from the woods.Freya stepped out right behind my heels, her hands gripping the straps of our small diaper bags. Her face was completely pale under the yellow safety lamps of the entryway."Get inside the front room first, Olivia," Thomas said. His low voice was a flat, level rumble as he slid Christian’s plastic keycard through the digital
The Pucking Match split line
The root cellar door clicked open. Damp air filled the stone tunnel, carrying the smell of wet clay and gravel. Casper led the way, ducking beneath the low wooden beams with my heavy canvas backpack over his right arm.I followed close behind, holding Caspian against my fleece jacket. He stayed quiet, his small fingers hooked into my hoodie zipper. His silver-blue eyes moved through the darkness as a vehicle engine rumbled somewhere above us."Keep your head down, Olivia," Casper whispered. "The tunnel exits behind the old logging barn near the lower stream lane. Thomas has the van waiting in the brush.""What about your truck?" I asked.My boots slipped once on the muddy floor. I tightened my hold on Caspian and kept moving."Let them find it. The Vipers registration tags are still on the bumper. My father's legal team will need time to check the frame number through the city registry. That should give you enough time to cross the county line.""And what happens when they realize you
The Pucking Match junction stall
The rusty iron gears of the utility bicycle ground loudly against the wet gravel as Casper skated the tires to a halt behind the junction store. The small wooden building sat alone at the crossroads of the ridge road, its old neon sign flickering weakly against the heavy morning fog. He leaned the iron frame against the rotten wooden siding, his breath forming thick white clouds in the freezing air as he pulled the gray windbreaker tight around his chin.He pushed the front glass door open, the small bell above the latch jingling sharply in the quiet room.The store smelled like stale tobacco, kerosene heaters, and cheap motor oil. A single television set buzzed on a metal shelf behind the counter, displaying the local sports channel logo. The anchor's voice was a low murmur, reading out the morning status updates for the Crestview Wolves roster following the emergency campus lockdown."Morning," the old clerk muttered from behind the cash register, his eyes tracking the broad frame o
The Pucking Match first dawn
Auto SavedWord Count 106214/70The gray morning light broke through the high pine trees, hitting the dark log walls of the cabin. I opened my eyes fast. The room was warm now, the steady clank of the heating pipes keeping the cold mountain air outside the glass. Caspian was still fast asleep next to my hip on the leather couch, his small hand tucked under his cheek.I sat up slowly, my joints stiff from sleeping in my red practice uniform.Casper was not on the wooden bench. His gray training shirt and red pads were gone from the floorboards. I stood up, fixing the green blanket over Caspian’s shoulders, and walked quietly toward the small kitchen lane to check the perimeter.Casper was standing by the back window, looking out at the frozen grass near the lake. He had changed into a plain black hoodie with no team logos, his dark curls dry. His black smartphone sat on the counter, still completely dead. Near his elbow, three old tin cans of chicken soup and a box of saltine crackers
The Pucking Match wood haven
Casper opened the passenger door. Cold air hit the cab. He took my canvas backpack from the floorboards."Take the steps slow," Casper said.I climbed down with Caspian in my arms. The wind made my legs cold. Caspian sighed against my neck and looked around the dark yard.Casper walked ahead of us up the porch. He used a brass key to unlock the oak door. It clicked open fast. He pushed the door wide and stepped back so I could go inside first.I walked into the dark room. It smelled like old wood and cold stone. The space was freezing. I walked three steps forward, looking at the dark windows facing the black lake.The cabin was simple. There were no expensive pictures or gold frames. It just had log walls, a fireplace, and two leather couches covered in dust sheets.The front door clicked shut behind me. Casper walked in and threw my bag on a bench. He hit the light switches on the wall. A single chandelier came on, throwing a yellow glow over us."Mama," Caspian whispered against my
