My Hockey Alpha Chapter 161

At the Last Moment

Nina

Somehow, I managed to sneak into the rogues’ den, creep past dozens of sleeping rogues, and pinpoint which rogues were my friends. And, thanks to Tiffany’s brilliance in creating the antidote, I was able to cure Lori and Jessica.

But now I had to get my friends to safety, and the rogues would be waking up at any minute.

We had to move quickly, but quietly. As a trio, Lori, Jessica and I all stood as slowly and quietly as possible. I grabbed Tiffany’s medical bag off of the floor with one hand, then took Jessica’s hand with the other. Jessica, in turn, held Lori’s hand with her other one. Together, we walked in a single-file line toward the exit.

Since I came through here before, I was at least a little more familiar with the layout. I knew where the larger piles of rogues were sleeping, as well as which route to take that had the least amount of rogues.

Quietly, Lori, Jessica and I stepped over the sleeping rogues with the utmost caution. We never let go of each other’s hands; I refused to run the risk of losing my friends again if anything went awry. I already felt guilty enough for leaving them on the night of the last hockey game, just minutes before the attack began. I couldn’t let anything happen to them ever again.

When we got out of here, I had to admit that I didn’t know what we would do. Night was falling, and we were stuck in the forest. The entire place would be completely crawling with rogues and Crescents, and we were just three defenseless girls. Lori and Jessica were still in a bit of a stupor from losing days of their memories due to being rogues for that entire time. Not only that, but my leg was bleeding more than ever now and each step was agony. A throbbing numbness was slowly working its way up my leg, making it hard to move, but I had to keep going. I couldn’t let my friends down again, and I had to get out of here safely so I could find a way to go back for Enzo in order to save the town together.
