#Chapter 87: Human Skin

Nina

After Enzo revealed his true nature to the hockey team with Jason’s help, and once the hockey team had calmed down a bit, we started to pack up to head home.

Enzo and I headed upstairs to wake up Lisa, but as we opened his bedroom door, we were both shocked and terrified to find that the spot where Lisa had been sleeping…

Was empty

We checked everywhere: the closets, underneath all the beds, even the kitchen cabinets, but she was gone.

“She probably took off,” Enzo said as the bus driver impatiently honked the horn outside “Hopefully she won’t cause any more trouble”

Thankfully, as we drove home, she didn’t. There was no sign of Lisa, although I kept looking out the window afraid to see her running next to the bus in her wolf form, but she never appeared.

Enzo made his team swear that they wouldn’t tell a soul about werewolves. They all promised that they wouldn’t say a word, but there was one — Bryce – – who seemed a bit more pensive about the situation than the rest.

I chalked it up to his naturally introverted demeanor and didn’t think much of it. If Enzo trusted his team with this information, then I did, too. And Jason was right: if Enzo wanted to win the Half-Moon Tournament, he couldn’t keep his team in the dark about the true reasons for the tournament.

When we arrived back at the campus, our next move was to figure out whoever was giving people the Mad Wolf serum. We both had our suspicions that Edward had something to do with it, but we couldn’t prove it just yet — and, to make matters worse, neither of us exactly had the time at the moment to be stalking Edward.

So, we went to the one person who had all of the time in the world.
