292 First Task (1)

Dawn's mind hadn't recovered from the shock after seeing Pia. How could she even enter the contest knowing that Daryn was her mate? Had she forgotten about Caleb already? As Dawn stared at her with accelerated heartbeat, Pia turned her head and gave her a conceited look. This was beyond her imagination. Nothing made sense. And when Sedora announced Brenda's name, Dawn's mind froze. She couldn't believe that it was Brenda who was surrounded by the guards. She was looking like hell even though she was dressed in the black breeches and maroon tunic, which was the tournament dress. Her hair was in knots and she was looking dazed with heavy eyelids. It was as if she was trying to keep herself straight. 

Dawn rubbed the back of her neck. She could feel something wasn't right. Almost every Ixoviyan out there cheered for all the contestants except for Dawn.
