Struggles and Skirmishes

Adrianna directly went to her room. The servants had already prepared her bath. 

Dmitri knew that she wanted to be alone, so he didn't accompany her to the bathroom.

She bathed for a long time scrubbing every part of her body over and over again to remove the blood until her skin chaffed. Dmitri had to stop her. He picked her up from the bathtub, wrapped her in a towel and brought her out. He placed her on the bed. Adrianna curled in a fetal position and lay there until sleep hit her. 

The man was absolutely quiet when it arose from deep within the snow. His face was void of emotions. He stared at her with heavy deep blue eyes and a slack mouth. His cheekbones were slighted pointed with cheeks having sunk inside. He looked like a skeleton with long pointy fingers. Adrianna's breathing became ragged when he drifted above her and touched her forehead with his cold metal fingers. Her body became frigid with fear. "Who are you?" she whispered.
