Chapter 0457
After receiving Bridget’s warning, I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t risk running into Nicholas, which meant avoiding the places we usually went together. Instead, I ended up in the library with Veronica.
Veronica didn’t seem surprised to see me when I joined her. She didn’t even really greet me.
As I sat down across from her at the table, the books piled high around her, she lifted her head, looked at me, and said, “I’ve made progress with teleportation.”
“You have?”
“I understand enough that I have been making attempts at it.”
She’d been researching so hard for so long, I was beginning to wonder if the secret to Hawk’s teleportation would never be uncovered. Yet here Veronica was, telling me that she had been trying it? I was stunned.
On top of the books stacked beside Veronica sat an apple. She reached for it now and then placed it on the desktop in front of her.
“Hold open your hands,” she said.
I lifted my hands and kept them palms up and close together.
Veronica put her own hands around the apple. She was concentrating hard. A line appeared between her brows. Her mouth was a hard line.
Then, without a sound or a warning, the apple disappeared from Veronica’s hands and reappeared on top of my own.
It had taken but a moment. In one blink, it had moved from there to here.
This distance was only a few inches. A foot or two, at most. Yet to see it even happen at all was a difficult thing to wrap my mind around. Objects didn’t move like this. Yet this one did.
Veronica exhaled, winded. She leaned back in the chair, clearly tired from the ordeal. But after a moment, she straightened once more and held out her hand for the apple. When I gave it to her, she placed it on the table again and sliced it in half with a knife. She sighed in relief when she saw the inside.
