Disclaimer- See chapter 1

AN- Well folks, we're getting down to the last five chapters. Lots of action, more romance, and do I see some shirtless hot young guys in the future? Lol, please R&R!

She'd fainted yet again. Once she'd seen her parent's reflections in the water, it had been too much for her. They had placed the limp girl in their bed, and had sent everyone else to their rooms to sleep.

However, Mythriel wasn't asleep. She was at her desk, devising a plan that would convince Rex that he needed to get to know her better.

In other words, the girl was head over heels in love with the dude and didn't know how he felt; therefore she would try anything to get those feeling out of him. Including torture.

She tucked some red gold hair behind her ear before surveying her latest plan, which would happen tonight. And that was only if she could get past the sleeping guards stationed outside her door and to his room before anyone noticed. She knew that Aly, or Ann, well whatever her name was had just been found out to be Erin and Joseph's lost child, and that Rex had been telling the adults everything he knew about Michelle, and about the kidnapping that had happened so many years ago.

She knew of the secret passages that were hidden in the mansion. Her father had shown her one day when she wouldn't get out of his hair.

Using the one that linked her room to the library, she slipped noiselessly through it. Then using the one from the library to the hunting room, and then the hunting room to finally Rex's room. She pressed her ear against the secret door before slowly opening it.

Her jaw dropped when she caught sight of him.

He was obviously sleeping without anything on, and the sheets barely covered his modesty. But he was also talking in his sleep, and somewhat tossing and turning, like he was having a nightmare.

She caught a few words that didn't make any sense. And then he rolled out of bed, and hit his head on the floor.

Mythriel dodged into the closet, barely keeping the door open. Her throat was so dry, and her heart was thudding out of her chest.

He unknowingly stood in front of her naked as a jaybird.

He shook his head, and crawled back into the sheets, much to her disappointment.

Finally she just left, the plan a fail but the sight the best thing she'd ever seen.
