Inside the house, Niiya had offered Keisha to stay in his basement room for the time being. After Niiya gave her a blanket and left, Keisha went to bed. 

She lied down and shuddered in anxiety. She had to make future plans to escape immediately, after all, who knew if the Blue Moon pack was close behind her trail.. 

​​

She cursed Adrianna for casting a spell that turned her into a small cat. The spell lasted a good two hours and she had to hide in order to escape from the street dogs. 

She already had her suspicion when she reached home the previous day. She noticed some movement around and caught glimpses of familiar faces at that point of time at night. Although she found it strange, she was too tired to care and just wanted to crash on her bed. But when she was changing, she noticed that her wardrobe had been tampered with.

Her entire body broke into a sweat. "Dmitri!" she spoke his name with contempt. That was when she realized that he was there not because he liked her, but because he was conducting searches. 

Being a person who had always been Dmitri's accomplice in the battles, she knew what he must have been doing. She went to the window and pulled the curtain slightly to see what was happening outside. Her calculations were correct. They were keeping a watch on her.

While her new house was being built, she had asked the architect to build a door that led to a room, which she told him would be her room for learning music. However, what the architect didn't know was that the room had a small tunnel that opened much farther away from the house. Keisha had used that tunnel to escape the house and ran away to the town. She had thought that she could easily thrown the people who were watching her off the track, but they managed to pick up her scent and chased her for a long time until she reached the outskirts of the town. It was there that she was able to slip away. 

Keisha finally dozed off without realizing what was happening outside. She was extremely tired from spending the whole night running away from her pursuers.

Dmitri and Nate left once the witch came to keep a watch outside Niiya's house.

Back in Dmitri's bedroom, Adrianna had woken up.Upon noticing that she only got fifteen minutes left, she dashed to the bathroom. When she came out, she found Dmitri waiting for her. He looked irritated. 

Reading his thoughts, she went to him and said, "Keisha knows that you are after her. She will spend three to four days with Niiya. If you like, I can help you."

Dmitri looked at her. "How?" 

"Just keep a watch on her for the whole day and I will come back in the evening. We will go back together to the town," said Adrianna as she walked through the portal.

When Adrianna reached the academy, she found that the class had already started. But instead of Professor Ziu, there was someone else teaching the class. To Adrianna's surprise, the new professor was a very young handsome boy with blue eyes and black hair. When Adrianna entered the class, he smiled at her and nodded. Adrianna wondered if she had seen him somewhere. She nodded and went to sit on the chair that was vacant in the far corner. 

She could see that most girls were hardly into hearing what he was saying, rather, they were looking at him with affections. 

Once the class was over, she asked the girl sitting next to her, "Where is professor Ziu?"

"I don't know," she replied with a shrug as she picked her bag to rush to the young professor's desk where other girls had gone. 

"Who is he?" Adrianna asked before she left. 

"That is Zola's brother, Zephyr."

Adrianna felt as though her entire body had been tied to a large boulder and was thrown into the deep sea. 

The girl looked at her with narrowed eyes and left. 

Adrianna lowered her head, feeling guilty. Slowly, she collected her books and got out of the class. She knew that her cousin was being seen as her rival for crowning. Other than that the fact that both Lia and Zola had been killed by her in a battle against her in the first stage of the competition, weighed her down. But why was he substituting for Professor Ziu? Adrianna wasn't able to understand what was going on. She thought that she would ask Ziu for clarification. 

Adrianna walked in the alleys that were leading her to Professor Lane's class. Suddenly, someone called her from behind, "Adrianna!" She turned to see that her cousin was following her. 

He went to her and said, "Can we talk?"
