I'm just some crazy reclusive girl. If you really want to know more about me, just ask. ^.~

Hide and seek time~
Eva darted through alleyways, avoiding light as much as possible, until even she forgot the way back to the bus.
The DMA would be coming for her - there was no question of that. What mattered was where she would hide. Her first instinct was the sewers, but she quickly realized how bad a choice of hiding place that would be. Aside from being disgusting, she would have to reveal herself lifting one of those heavy lids in the sun in order to even enter in the first place. No, she needed to find somewhere else to hide.
She had to assume the worst case scenario - that the DMA had not only been told about her, but had learned all about her abilities. That meant they would come equipped with flashlights. They would scour through the darkness methodically, leaving nowhere for her to blend in with the shadows.
Her best bet would be to betray those expectations without placing herself in a situation where she would be at risk if they didn't know about her powers. She needed to find a shadow in the sunny place.
Biting her lip, she walked out of the alleyway, her pace casual. She waited until no one was nearby, then approached the a vehicle parked along the side of the road.
Kneeling as if to tie her shoe, Eva used the car as a shield to protect herself from the sun. As her fingers toys with her shoelaces, a thin, feeble strand of shadow rose from her feet, crawling along the side of the vehicle until it reached the keyhole. The faint click announced its completion of its mission.
Eva pulled open the back door of the car and laid down on the seat. A few pedestrians passed, but before long, no one was standing directly adjacent to the car. Eva rolled onto the floor, blending into the shadows. Despite her invisibility, the heat threatened to overwhelm her; she might die of it even if the DMA didn't catch up to her.

Nothing Vivian was saying made any sense!
Why had the Team leader, who had threatened to shoot me in the face, defended me? Was he simply trying to maintain a facade? There was no way it would work, not after what he had said. There was no going back - I needed him to die!
Yet he was still alive. I had begged the necklace to kill him, even paid the price in excruciating pain, but my wish had not been granted. I had been promised more power in return for my suffering! Where was it?
Concealing my emotions, I gave Vivian my best approximation of an indulgent smile. "Thank you, Vivian," I said. "I still need to get out of here, though - no matter how my guards feel about me, they threatened me, and that cannot be forgiven. It seems to me that the best time to escape is during the day - I believe they have only two guards on duty while the sun is up. I must act soon, before the guards' reinforcements arrive. Do you want to come?"
In truth, I didn't know why I was confiding in Vivian, making her this offer. Perhaps I saw something of myself in more. If so, I was a pathetic, sentimental fool who deserved every once of pain given to her. Maybe it was just that I didn't believe I could get by on my own. After all, in the past, I had been nothing but helpless. Even now that I was disgustingly rich, all I could do was run from my problems...

As soon as I spotted Vivian sitting at the table, apparently ignoring a bowl of soup, I sat down opposite her, the pain in my stomach lessening as if in thanks for the respite. No one else was nearby; I needed to convince Vivian to help me right now, while I had the chance. "Listen," I said, my voice low, inaudible to all but the two of us, "My guards are not really on our side. In fact, they have already threatened to kill me. To make matters worse, 11 more of them are on the way. I... I need your help." I felt my cheeks heating as I spoke; it had been a long time since I had consciously chosen to make myself so vulnerable.
"If I do anything unusual at all, it will seem suspicious to them," I said, "So could you please go check and see what any of them is up to? They shouldn't have any desire to hurt you. All I need to know is whether they're arguing amongst each other or anything like that. Then, I can plan accordingly. I am hoping to escape from this place soon, you see..." As my words died down, my eyes linger on the table, as if in shame; I was truly not fit to run a family. I was too weak, too reliant on others, and I doubted I could ever change that. But maybe I could limit my need to a select few...

Oh my! o.o
Aw, you're trying to kill me? That's no fun!
I see! XD
I need to get rid of these pesky guards!
I need to get rid of these pesky guards!
I frowned at the door as Vivian departed the room.
In truth, I could relate to the girl. For a long time, I had wanted to escape from this family no matter the cost. However, I had always stayed my hand - Father had more than enough resources to track me down and make me pay. Now that Father was dead and I was independently rich, one might think I could at last be free, yet now I felt like I was observed more fully than ever.
A part of me wanted to reach out to Vivian. If she had cared enough about me to visit my bedside, perhaps I could, in time, grow close to her. Unfortunately, distrust was a seed that had been rooted in my heart long ago. I could not escape the fear that she was just acting, that she planned to betray me.
I sighed, beginning to stand but stopping as pain shot through my chest in protest. I needed to figure out of anything had happened to my guards without letting them know that I had an unusual experience. I forced myself to my feet and to stand up straight despite the pain that was wracking me. Maybe I could get Vivian to help... a test of whether she was at all trustworthy. I made my way down the hall, each step an agony, searching for the room she was staying in.

I find it pretty hard to stay in the third person... I'm so used to writing in the first!
