In Their World Now {Ducktales Reader Insert}

(Y/n POV)

The pain was unbelievable. It hurt so much, I felt like I was on fire. I couldn't feel anything but the burning purple beam on my back burning a hole through me. I had screamed so loud that I lost my voice, and I couldn't move. Scrooge was still trying to pull me up, tears falling from his eyes. Magica laughed and stopped the beam, living a large burn gash on my back, smoke coming off of it. I felt so weak, so tired. But I knew I had to stay awake, or else I would die.

Scrooge was finally able to get me onto the board, trying to be careful not to touch my back. I was breathing heavily and shakily, trying to keep my eyes opened as I could. Scrooge held my hand, tears still falling from his eyes. "(Y/n), (Y/n) can you hear me??" He sounded panicked. I looked at him, trying to get my eyes to focus. "Mr.... Mr. McDuck ...?" He sighed in relief, then galred at magica. He gently laid me down, then stood up. "You're going to pay for this Magica. You've gone too far!"

I heard some running sounds, and turned my head towards the vault. There I saw the Duck family, their faces full of worry. I relaxed my body, the pain too much for me. I wanted to throw up, I wanted to scream. But my body wouldn't let me, it refused to. I wanted to close my eyes, and let all of my worries just fall out of my mind, but I knew I couldn't. I had to stay awake. Magica laughed.

"Oh look! The rest of the family has come to play with us, Scroogey!" Magica pointed her staff at the rest of the duck family. I looked at her in horror, not wanting the others to get hurt. Slowly and painfully, I tried to stand. Everyone looked at me, and they all looked surprised. I held myself and glared at Magica, my legs wobbly and my whole body shaking. "Leave.. Them... alone..." My voice was quiet, but I had to defend them.

Magica was taken back, and just looked at me for a moment. But then her shocked expression quickly changed to an amused one. "Look who didn't die. (Y/n) the human. Was that not enough for you?" I took a step towards her, keeping my balance. "Magica.. I don't know what happened to you in your past... But I do know you could forget it..." She looked at me confused, and I could see a bit of fear in her eyes. "But getting revenge and hurting others is not an option of coping that should enter your mind.. We can help you through this Magica.. Just stop this and calm down..."

By that time, I had reached Scrooge at the edge of the board, and he had to help keep me up. Magica looked scared, like she was thinking about my offer, but she turned mad, and pointed her staff at me. "How DARE you assume anything about me!" She shot me with another beam, but Scrooge pulled me away before it hit me. She aimed again. "I will tear you apart! Limb by limb!" Scrooge helped me dodge again. "You know nothing about how this world works! And now, you'll die!" She shot another beam, hitting my foot and the board. I yelled in pain and fear as Scrooge and I started to fall into all of the money.

Before I knew it, I felt Scrooge hug me and hold onto me tight. He had flipped onto his back so that I was on top, I hid my face in his chest as we landed in the money. I wasn't hurt, but I was scared for Scrooge. The money was so heavy on me though, I couldn't move, it was kind of like when you end up in an avalanche. I was crying, and I held onto Scrooge tighter. "Mr. McDuck.... I'm so sorry...." I felt his hand gently pet my hair, and I looked at him the best I could. "It's alright lass.. You didn't do this.... We'll be okay.."
