Ok so I was still stuck on how to continue with Everly and Drayton here, but I was not lacking as much in motivation as I was before. So I sat down to type this up. I am proud that I got this out as soon as I did and it was not a whole month or more later, like the chapters before. Though I am proud of that I am not so sure about the chapter. I find it decent but not my favorite. Let me know what yall think please!

Everly POV

Every muscle in my body protested as I tried to sit up. I could help the hiss of pain that escaped my lips as I felt metal bite into my sore wrists. I slowly turned my head to see that I was chained to my bed. I then noticed the mess of brown hair leaning against my bed beside me. I immediately got blushed and I knew I must have looked like a tomato.

"Well this does not look good. I wake up chained to a bed next to a messy hair Drayton. At least I can say I know nothing happened."

I could not help but laugh at my situation, which I instantly tried to stifle as Drayton started to move. I held my breath until he finally settled back down. His face was now turned to me and it looked like he had been through hell. I decided it would be best to let him sleep. So I busied myself with looking around my room. Everything seemed so much clearer, my vision sharper. Was that because of the darkness I was in so long or because I have welcomed my "Inner Mynx." God that sounded so cheesy.

I went to lean my head back on bed, but did not realize how close I was to the head board. There was a loud thunk and pain shot through my head.

"OW! Son of a -"

"What!"

Drayton's head shot up. Well so much for him getting some rest. He looked at me and his eyes widened. He even leaned away from me like he thought I might try to break my chains and attack him. What was his deal?

"Look I know I probably stink. Lord knows how long I have been lying in this bed, and I doubt any of you gave me a sponge bath. At least you or Kayd better not have, but you don't have to treat me like I have the plague. Geez"

If it were at all possible I think his eyes actually got wider. He opened his mouth as if to say something but no words came out.

"Oh come on! I know you can speak. What is wrong Mynx got your tongue?"

Still silence.

"Good lord, really? Not even my ridiculous cheesy joke got words out of you? Maybe I need to explain it. You know the saying cat got your tongue. Well you're a vampire so would it not be Mynx got your tongue? You know ha ha ha funny."

His eyebrows furrowed together, "Everly but, you….Mynx…"

"Just spit it out already, or at least unchain me. My wrists are really starting to hurt."

I was not lying either my wrists were killing me as was my head. He stood up and I mentally shouted for joy as I though he was going to undo the chains but no of course not. What does my prince charming do?

"Kayd!"

Yep he screamed for his brother. Kayd and Leila burst through the bed room door mere seconds later. They both stopped just short of the bed and stared at me. Leila looked like she was about to start crying, again that is from what I could tell from the tear streaks on her face. She grabbed Kayd's arm and whispered, "No, not again."

I could not stand it anymore, "What! Do I have something on my face? Is there a booger hanging out of my nose? Do I really just smell that bad? Would someone just please tell me what is going on and why yall wont stop staring at me?"

Kayd reacted just like Drayton. His eyes got bigger, some how, and he turned to look at Drayton. Leila just stared at me.

"Hel-lo? Am I talking to myself? I know yall can hear me."

No one moved. Maybe I am still dreaming or something. Only one way to tell I got to pinch myself. I looked at the chains holding my arms back. Well so much for that plan. Well only one other way. Seeing as how Leila was the only one looking at me I chose her.

"Leila will you pinch me please? I need to know whether or not I am still dreaming."

Kayd and Drayton turned and looked back at me with serious faces. I thought my plan had failed until Leila busted out laughing. She walked around the bed to me. Kayd tried to grab her arm but she evaded him. She reached out for my arm and gave me a pinch.

"Ow! You could have been a bit easier. That really hurt. Thank you though. Now that I know I am not dreaming and I cant seem to get a reply from either one of them maybe you can answer my question. What is wrong?"

"Hold on just a second." She walked over to the vanity and grabbed a hand mirror. She walked back over and held it out in front of me.

My mouth dropped at what I saw. My hair had slightly lightened with an almost luminescence look and was similar to before when the Mynx had taking over. My scar as well seemed lighter just not glowing. Yet what got me the most were my eyes. It was like my human features had fused with my Mynx features. The iris and pupil of my eyes had got larger like when I was Mynx but I still retained the whites of my eyes.

I rolled my eyes, "God my eyes make me look like an anime character!"

This earned me not just laughter from Leila but a snort from Kayd as he tried to contain his laughter. Leave it to Mr. Serious, Drayton to keep just staring at me. I had to get some reaction out of him.

"You know it is rude to stare," and with that I stuck my tongue out at him and crossed my eyes. Leila and Kayd laughed but he just rolled his eyes.

He ran his hand down his face, "God Everly. Can you be serious for one minute? We need to figure out what happened. You know you put us through a lot."

I bit my lip and looked down. He was right I had no idea what they had to go through. I went through my own personal hell, but I guess I was just so happy when I made it through and I was "complete" I figured everything would be fine when I woke up. I did not give one thought to what they may have gone through. I could not help the tears that welled up in my eyes as I thought about my changes. It seemed that not only my physical appearance but my personality had changed as well. I was mostly the same, but there were some differences.

If I had still been just my human self I would have woke up and been serious not playful. What else was going to be different? I felt the tears fall down my cheeks and was glad my hair had fallen over in my face. I could not help the small smile that came across my face as I felt Leila's hand on my arm and her whisper, "What an ass."

Of course Drayton heard her and I am quite certain that, though she whispered it, she meant for him to hear it. Though Drayton was right. They needed to know what happened.

"I became one with the Mynx. I know it sounds cheesy, but it is true."

Kayd perked up, "How did you do that?"

I smiled of course that would perk Kayd up he loved learning about stuff, "Well I just sat in the darkness for a while with most of my recent memories gone. The Mynx talked to me about having to go through a trial of sorts to get out of the situation we were in. She told me to be careful though cause she could sense another presence and then she walked off leaving me alone."

"I went through my trial of finding my memories along with the emotions involved with them. I also saw a few false memories along the way. When I got to the end of my trial I was surrounded by the people of my false memories. It was hard and I kept wondering where the Mynx was to help me. I only made it through and woke up when I realized that I did not need to the Mynx to come help me cause I am the Mynx. Now here I am."

Kayd let out a low whistle, "You are so going to have to meet me in my office later and give me every detail."

He smiled real big and Leila scowled at him, "Good lord Kayd."

He laughed at her, "What? I can not help it. The knowledge calls me."

Leila just rolled her eyes and turned back to me.

"So is that why yall were wary of me at first? Yall thought that I had woken up as the Mynx?"

Leila looked sad for a moment before smiling, "Yeah, but that is all cleared up now. I am sure you want to take a nice long bath so we will get out of here and let you get refreshed. Come on boys."

I could not help but laugh as Kayd snorted, "I am not a boy, woman. I am a man." He even made his voice deeper as he ended the sentence.

"Yeah, Yeah what ever you say sweet heart," Leila smiled back at me as she started to follow Drayton and Kayd out of the room.

"Umm guys. A little help here."

They all turned back to look at me trying to figure out what I was talking about.

Drayton spoke, "With what?"

"Are you serious? You can not see what my problem is?" as if to emphasize it I shook my hands and feet causing the chains to rattle. Leila started laughing, but abruptly stopped as a mischievous smile crossed her face, "Drayton has the key," and with that her and Kayd continued out the door.

I was so embarrassed as Drayton walked over and started unlocking the chains. As he leaned over to unlock my other hand our faces came close together. I felt the electric current jolt through my body as I stared into his eyes. I noticed his eyes kept lingering down to my lips before snapping back up to look in my eyes. I wanted him to kiss me so bad. We both started leaning our heads in, but just before our lips could meet he grimaced and turned his head away.

I just sat there in shock as he finished unlocking the chain. He would not even look at me. What was wrong? What had happened while I was out? I bit my lip as he turned to walk out of the room. Should I say something now, should I wait, or say nothing at all? He turned back with one quick glance at me as he shut the door behind him. I did not miss the sad look on his face during that brief moment. What is happening?

I just sat there I did not want to move. My thoughts were swirling in my head. I finally came to the conclusion that maybe a nice long hot bath would help me feel better and maybe even help me with my thoughts. I slowly stood up on shaky legs and made my way to the bathroom.

As I waited for the tub to fill up I just stared at my reflection in the mirror. What other changes was I going to find? Why was Drayton acting like he was? Did it have to do with something that happened when I was going through my memories? Or maybe it was me? Was it because of how I had changed? I honestly did not think I looked that different. It was just my eyes and my hair, which was not even that different. It was the same color just a bit lighter. What was it? I actually thought we were getting close. Was I the only one that felt the chemistry between us?

I slowly lowered my self, stiff muscles and all, into the tub. I sighed as I laid my head back and closed my eyes. My thoughts still swirling every where. Then it all came to stop as one name popped in my head.

Nera.

Was it because of her? What happened with her or how he felt about her? It had to be. I could feel the tears start to well up as one question kept going through my mind.

Does he wish I was her?

Though not very proud of the chapter I like how I ended it. Giving it a throw back to how Seph's chapter ended. Let me know if yall liked it or hated it please. Now to give recognition to all my amazing, wonderful, awesome reviewers! Sadly I had no reviews from any of my fiction press or quizilla readers. But all my fan fiction reviewers made me smile and helped get this chapter out sooner! Way to go you awesome readers you! : )

Oh by the way I meant to mention it last chapter and I believe I forgot. Along with the links on my page that go to pictures of Everly, Leila, Drayton, Kayd, and Allard I have added a link for Seph/Nera. They share just the one link since they are suppose to look practically the exact same. So if you want to check it out and let me know what ya think that would be awesome! Also it is late, I am tired, and I really want to get this chapter up so I did the Microsoft spell/grammar check but it does not always pick up all mistakes such as if I accidentally typed not instead of no. Which I realize has become a habit of mine for some odd reason. But I want to get this up ASAP so I am not going to read over it just yet. I will do it later and if there are mistakes I will correct and repost. If you notice anything as well please let me know.

Lots of love,

p.s. I am getting an amazing response in reviews and traffic from fan fiction and some what so from fiction press, but not so much quizilla. I will give it a few more chapters but if I do not get any messages from readers, seeing as how they don't let you review, letting me know that yall are actually enjoying the story and not just pulling it up reading a few words and think what kind of crap is this. Then I am more than likely going to stop updating the story on there and will instead remove it. So if you are one of my quizilla readers out there reading this send me a message if you want to keep reading my story on the quizilla site.
