My Hockey Alpha Chapter 199

One Wish

Nina

The next morning, after managing to get a few hours of sleep following my stint in the forest, I woke up with one goal in mind: to contact that witch that Lori found and see if she could offer any help.

I knew that it could be a scam, but I had to try. So, after finding the forum thread that Lori showed me, I finally found the witch’s profile and decided to send her an email.

Although it took me a long time to finally formulate my thoughts enough to get them out, I did eventually manage to write an at least semi-coherent email to the witch. I begged her to help me, and although I did keep the details vague just in case it was a scam, I told her that I needed someone to open a portal for me. When I was finished and finally hit send, I let out a sigh of relief and shut my laptop.

That afternoon, I went to work in the infirmary. Since no students came in, I was able to work more on Tiffany’s antidote. And I was pretty certain that I was coming extremely close to figuring out the formula.

Lori and Jessica, who tagged along to keep me company, sat on the other side of the lab table while I worked. I still hadn’t told them about how I sleepwalked out into the woods the night before, and I planned to keep it that way so as not to scare the hell out of them.

“How are you gonna test to see if this actually works?” Lori asked, her chin resting in her hand as she sleepily watched me while I worked.

“The only real way to find out is to just try it on a rogue,” I responded as I carefully dropped two drops of hydrochloric acid into the solution inside a glass flask.
