My Hockey Alpha Chapter 157

Rescue Mission

Nina

The antidote shined up at me like a beacon of hope from Tiffany’s medical bag. Even just while looking at it, I felt a few tears of joy begin to well up in my eyes — but the mission still wasn’t over. I needed to find my friends and cure them, then get everyone to safety. Once I finished that, my priority would be to find a way to get back to Enzo and get him out of Selena’s grasp before it was too late. Without Enzo, I wouldn’t have a chance at saving our campus.

Enzo had mentioned that he saw Lori and Jessica as rogues… My best guess was that he saw them in the tunnels when he was fighting the rogues off. Even though the last thing I wanted to do was to go down into those dark tunnels again, I knew that I would have to go; and it was starting to get dark, which meant that there would be more rogues coming out soon. I would have to be quick, but thankfully the forest entrance to the tunnels was close by.

Checking to make sure that the coast was clear one last time, I quietly climbed to my feet — trying my best to ignore the shooting pain in my leg — and began to limp toward the tunnel entrance. Admittedly, I was a bit shocked that the Crescents didn’t seem to be looking for me after I stole the medical bag; maybe they just assumed that the rogues would get me since it was getting dark out.

Somehow, after limping through the rapidly darkening forest for what felt like hours, I made it to the hatch in the woods. I checked once more to make sure that I wasn’t being watched before I slowly opened the hatch and climbed down, swallowing my fear as I descended into the dark tunnels.

The last time I was in these tunnels, I had developed a sudden ability to see in the dark, but that ability seemed to have disappeared now that my wolf’s presence was gone. Thankfully, there was a small emergency flashlight in Tiffany’s medical bag, so I flicked it on and began to make my way down the tunnels.
