I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 253

Lila’s POV

Hazel was in her hospital bed when we arrived at the Calypso Pack Hospital. It only took us about 25

minutes to get there from the city. We wasted no time. She was looking for a lot better than when I last

saw her. Hazel’s wounds were healing nicely, and she didn’t look as thin and wasted away. She was still

hooked up to a couple of different machines; one was monitoring her heart rate and the other was

pumping her with a liquid fluid. The heart monitor had a steady rhythm, which was definitely a good

sign. As we entered the hospital, her assigned doctor was the first to greet us. “She will be able to return

home in the morning, Alpha. She’s going to need plenty of rest and to keep up her hydration. But she’s

looking good,” he said, glancing at Hazel with a fond smile. “Thank you for caring for her, Doctor,” Enzo

said in return. “You look exhausted,” I pointed out, sitting by her bedside. She gave me a faint smile. “I

was given some medication yesterday that kept me asleep all evening last night and day today,” she

said. “I haven’t been sleeping much because I’ve been so worried about the village, and they thought it

would help me. I don’t think they anticipated I’d be asleep this long.” “You mentioned on the phone

that you can feel Jazzy’s magic,” Enzo said, stepping toward her. My eyes widened at his words. “What?”

I gasped. “It’s true… I can feel her dark magic at play. But it’s more than that,” she said, her eyes

darkening. “I can feel darkness.” “Darkness?” I asked, furrowing my brows together. “I’ve only felt this

once before,” she explained. “A long time ago. Jazzy has conjured it before.” “She conjured darkness?”

Enzo asked. “How is that possible?” “It takes a very dark heart and a sacrifice to do it,” Hazel explained;

her expression was grave. “I don’t know what she could want with darkness though. The first time it was

only to cause mayhem to let out the anger she felt when our parents died.” “Mayhem…” I breathed; it

wasn’t a question. I grabbed Enzo’s arm as the thoughts of the mayhem at school yesterday surfaced in

my mind. “Enzo, could it have something to do with what happened at the election yesterday? “What

happened?” Hazel asked us quickly, looking between us. “We were having an election for President of

the student committee, and during this election everybody who has magic became powerless,” he

explained; her face turned mortified as he explained the events that unfolded last night. I thought, for a

moment, that she was going to jump out of bed and run from the room. I had never seen anyone look

quite as terrified as Hazel felt and it made my stomach twist into a tight and unsettling knot. “That

sounds like the mayhem she would cause, yes….” She said, shaking her head with a worried expression.

“He has returned to our lands; but for what reason, I am unsure.” “He?” Enzo asked, furrowing his brows

together. “Darkness is a person?” “It takes the form of a man; though, it can take many different forms.

He goes by the name Zagreus. He’s a dark demon that if given a sacrifice will do her bidding.”

“Darkness acts as her slave?” Enzo asked. “She can control it?” “Nobody can truly control darkness; but if

they have a common goal, he will work with her and do as she please. Just as long as she does what he

pleases as well.” “A sacrifice?” I asked, finding it difficult to use my voice. “In order for him to form fully,

he needs a sacrifice. He feeds off the blood and beating heart of purity. But that one sacrifice won’t be

enough to keep him around. She will need to sacrifice again soon if she wishes to keep him even

longer. Like a payment for his deeds.” “Why would they make students at the school powerless?” Enzo

asked, shaking his head. “It’s not making sense.” Hazel was quiet for a moment as she thought about

how to answer that, but then her eyes widened. She didn’t have to say anything for me to understand

where her head had gone. This time, it was me who answered. “Darkness enjoys mayhem; so, if it

caused mayhem at your school, then that pleases him. However, I fear it’s more than that. Jazzy

wouldn’t conjure him again unless she truly needed something from him.” “Could it have been a test?” I

asked, looking up at Enzo. Enzo looked at me with a worried frown. “A test? Like she was trying to see if

the spell would work?” “Yes,” I answered. “But what could she be planning that requires everyone to lose

their magic and abilities?” We were quiet for a moment as that question weighed in the air. “How did

she even align herself with darkness in the first place?” Enzo asked and I could see he was growing

angry. “How did she discover this Zagreus?” We both looked at Hazel who had gone pale. “When we

were young, our parents died because of a Volana wolf…” Hazel began to explain, making me gasp in

horror. “It was difficult for us both, but Jazzy was much younger and took it even more difficult. She

grew angry and self-isolated despite my efforts to get her to open up and talk to me. She spent a lot of
