nDmitri didn't reply. He headed down the cottage's stairs to get to his car that was parked right in front of the door. When Adrianna saw the car, her jaw dropped. He had driven over in a silver convertible Rolls Royce.

n

"That's a beautiful car,

" she couldn't help saying.

nHe nodded and asked,

"Do you think I will be safe in it?

"

nArianna giggled and nodded.

nJust as he was three meters away from the car, an electric field jolted him. He was shocked.

"Again?

" he wondered.

nAdrianna was also shocked. She went near him and spread her hand out to feel it. Dmitri immediately jerked her hand away.

"Are you mad? Can't you see it is a strong electric field?

" he reprimanded her.

nShe looked at him with surprise and then looked again at the still air in front of them.

"What is going on Dmitri? This had never been here before. How are we going to get out now? Are we trapped?

" she asked, anxious at this new development.

n

"I don't think so, because it won't be there in the morning,

" he replied.

n

"So you weren't lying…

" said Adrianna looking at him.

nWhat was happening around her lately? She needed answers badly, and was anxiously waiting for her grandfather's return.

nShe wanted to know up until where the field existed, so she took a walk around the house with a wooden stick, which she had picked up from the ground, in her hand. She poked at the area where she believed the field was while walking within a safe distance. By the time she had circled the house, half of the stick had been burnt away. She was bewildered as to who would have done this and wondered if she had any sort of magic to remove it. She wanted to experiment with her magic, but she had to contain her emotions as Dmitri was still there.

nWhile she was walking around the house, Dmitri had followed her, worried that she might injure herself. He told her,

"How can this probing help? It is dangerous and you shouldn't do it.

"

nBut she continued anyways.

nFinally, lowering her head, she said,

"It seems you have to spend your night here.

" Her face turned a bright tomato red.

nDmitri's face broke into a lopsided grin. Without a word, he walked back inside the cottage. Adrianna was again surprised at his shamelessness, but she meekly followed him inside.

nWhile he was climbing the steps of the portico, she said from behind,

"You should message your girlfriend to tell her that you are here because of this strange phenomenon…

"

nDmitri turned on the last step. With his hands in his pockets, he leaned forwards towards Adrianna who had to bring her hands onto his chest to prevent him from falling onto her as she was on a step below him.

nAs she held him up, his face was just a few inches away. He asked,

"Do you think Keisha will like it when she knows that I am at your place because of this strange phenomenon? Will she buy it?

"

nAdrianna bit her lower lip again. She felt like a third wheel. She was using all her energy to save herself from this devil, but he was hell-bent on making her lose control. She tried to push him back, but he was as heavy as a log. She had to get onto the step he was standing on, and in the process, she came so close to him that she was almost touching his body. Her breathing quickened. He gazed at her and whispered,

"You are thinking too much.

"

nComing back to reality, Adrianna kicked his ankle, pushed him aside slightly, and ran inside.

nDmitri laughed as he went in after her.

nFew minutes later, Adrianna emerged from the storeroom with a pillow and a comforter. She pointed to the sofa and said,

"You will sleep there tonight.

" She went to place the items on the sofa.

nDmitri narrowed his eyes and said,

"Sure?

"

n

"What do you mean?

" she asked before turning around, closing her door, and locking her bedroom door from the inside. Her heartbeat was already accelerating to the point that she could hear it. She felt as if her heart would jump out of her body and dance on the floor. She held her hand on her chest and panted as sweat beads formed on her forehead. Sleeping in the same house with Dmitri would be difficult for her wolf. But he wouldn't understand even if she told him that. And why does he keep coming here anyways? She decided that she would tell him to stop coming to her cottage. She had to concentrate on her exams, and didn't want to pick a fight with Keisha.

nDmitri shouted from outside,

"I am feeling cold.

"
