My Hockey Alpha Chapter 287

Nina

The Luna held her ghostly pale hand out to me with the promise of letting my friends and the town of Mountainview survive so long as I agreed to become her puppet. I reached out to take it despite the fact that everything in me was telling me not to do it; but I had to try to save my friends. I couldn’t bear the screaming and agony that surrounded me; I couldn’t live with myself knowing that I hadn’t at least tried.

But suddenly, I saw a flash of someone behind her. Dark hair, blue eyes, the silver glint of a knife in the moonlight. The Luna had forgotten someone when she cast her spell.

I heard the sound of the knife piercing flesh. The Luna shrieked and whipped around, clawing at her back where the knife protruded. She faced Selena, and in one swift movement, she thrust her hand out and made a motion that blasted Selena backward, against the stairs with a thud.

Everything that happened next happened all at once. The Luna ripped the knife out of her back with another shriek. Blood spurted everywhere and she fell to the ground. At the top of the stairs, Lori and Jessica fell, no longer suspended by the Luna’s magic. All around me, my friends started to move again. The rogues writhed in pain, in unison with the Luna as she died in agony at the base of the stairs.

I leaped to my feet.

“Selena!” I shouted. I ran to her; the Luna’s spell had bored a hole into her chest. It would only be a few moments before she bled out, and there was nothing that I could do. As I fell to my knees beside my twin sister and scooped her up into my arms, I could hear the sound of her chest squelching and a soft whimper escaping her lips.

“N-Nina…” she whimpered. Her trembling hand reached up and touched my face. I held it there with my hand, feeling the sensation of my own hot tears streaking down my face. “I-I…”

“Shh,” I whispered. “It’s okay.”

Selena shook her head. She swallowed hard, and as she did, blood bubbled out of her mouth. It stained her teeth and ran down her chin, and her eyes started to turn glassy. “I’m sorry,” she croaked. “For everything… I’m sorry.”
