Adrianna had been constantly battling with Shay for about twenty hours. She looked tired, disheveled and was totally consumed. Her tiredness had seeped into her bones. It had drained her emotionally. During her sleep she would often shudder as though she was waiting for the demons of tomorrow. She had tumultuous few hours of disaster fuelled dreaming.
This was the toughest she had ever faced, but the experience was rich. Dmitri slept beside her after removing her shoes. He covered her with the blanket. The academy had announced a day's holiday before the final competition. Adrianna had to face the final competition with Lile.
Dmitri brought her closer to him so that she rested her mind. She had to make sharp decision for the final round against Lile. He had heard from others that Lile had been giving very tough time to her opponents.
