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

I clenched my fists in anger at Amanda's reaction, but I held my tongue. If we actually did manage to get the necklace back, she might have the chance to see firsthand why someone would want to get rid of it. But, for the moment, I was marching toward my room, preparing to dress like a slut to interrogate police officers.
I had never been a fan of revealing clothing - after what I had been through, the last thing I wanted was the eyes of lustful men to be on me - but I did have a few dresses that would fit the bill, most of them never worn before. When I arrived in my room, I tore through my closet until I found one of them, a black dress with a low neck and opened slits at the waist, revealing my legs. Just the thought of wearing it made me blush. But I had no choice. So, hating my life, I put on the dress and chose a pair of high heeled sandals to go with it.
By the time I had done my makeup and tidied up my outfit, I only had a couple of minutes to make it to the front door. I picked up my sandals and dashed through the hallways in an undignified manner. By the time I arrived, I was probably going to be late anyway.

I bit my lip as I tried to determine the best way to tell Amanda what had happened. Eventually, I decided there just wasn't a good way, so I said, "Well, um, Vivian and I began to think it was haunted or something, so we kind of sold it to a pawn shop. Then it got stolen, and the owner died, and the police auctioned the necklace off to some unknown person." I cringed as I spoke. From Amanda's perspective, I was certain the pair of us sounded like complete idiots. She hadn't seen what the necklace could do to those who came to close to it...
I edited my post.
I hesitated before leaving the guards behind. I needed them on my side, now more than ever since I was being shot at. In a whisper, I said, "Frank is trying to kill me - I just know he is! Please don't let him hurt me," I said, allowing a bit of my fear and vulnerability to show. I needed this man on my side, and for his type, that meant showing him how badly he was needed. A little acting could go a long way toward earning his trust!
I followed Amanda. I wasn't sure how much I could trust her - she might think me crazy if I tell her the truth, or, worse, she might turn against me. "The necklace... grandmother passed it on to me. It's a symbol of my position in the family, so, naturally, Frank wants to take it away to make me look weak. Also... this may sound silly, but it's a good luck charm. I need to get it back before Frank can find it!"
I knew my lies were bordering on the unbelievable - why would I get rid of the necklace if it wasn't harming me? I needed to come up with an excuse, and quickly. I could use my paranoia to my advantage; if I believed something to be wrong with the necklace for a while, it was conceivable that I would try to ditch it!

Eva's eyes darted between the three people confronting her, her fists clenched and cheeks growing red. Why did they all look down on her so much? Couldn't they see there was no place for her here? She served only as a sack of meat that needed protecting! Why did they want to take on that burden so badly?
"Fine," she said, "I'll stay... but only if you let me do something. I'm sick of sitting around here and doing nothing! Take me on a mission or something - my abilities are really good for sneaking. I won't be useless, I promise!" As she spoke, her blush only deepened; those last words made her realize that what was really at stake here was her own sense of worth. She wanted to leave because staying made her feel like nothing but a burden, yet these people were all making it worse, acting like it didn't really matter if she went out and died! What was she supposed to do?

I frantically looked from Amanda's face to that of each of my guards. There was only one way to proceed here: i would have to tell them what was going on.
"Frank has been trying to steal my necklace," I said, opening up the email on my phone. "So I decided to try to lure him into a trap - I sent out an email suggesting I was keeping the necklace at the mall and I was going to try to get him to reveal himself there, in public. But, instead, it seems like he tried to have me killed."
I bit my lip, eyes pleading to be believed. Now that people were shooting at it, it was abundantly clear that I needed my guards. I couldn't let them retreat from the situation, even if some of them had been shot, because if they left, I was bound to be next!
It had been foolish of me to leave the house, to leave the one place that was protecting me. But what choice did I have? My necklace was somewhere out there - I would have to chase after it before long. How could I do that without leaving my home?
"Please," I muttered, just loud enough for the people around me to hear, "I need your help. Frank is going to try to kill me again - please, stop him!"

Thanks. =p
Was Amanda on some sort of drugs?
She had given me money, but not nearly enough to bribe a cop with. For such a small amount, he would probably end up just arresting me instead. But where the hell had she gotten the idea that I was going to the mall? There was no point in me going there, nothing I needed to buy, and I was in the middle of something.
Unless...
I pulled out my cell phone and added a bunch of contacts to the list of recipients for a message, one of whom was Vivian. The address I now knew belonged to Frank was added, too. If Frank wanted the necklace so badly, he was bound to fall for my bait. "Going to the mall to pick up my shiny," I wrote, not wanting the trap to seem too obvious, "Once I have it back, we can proceed as planned." Vivian, and most others who read the message, would find it to be utter nonsense, of course. But Frank... he was bound to be paranoid. He would follow me, and my guards would be there when he did. If everyone worked out, maybe I could trick him into getting himself arrested!

"Why do you even care what happens to me?" Eva asked Cole, not quite meeting his eyes. There was no reason for him to concern himself in her affairs. He wasn't wrong to claim that she'd been caught because she was alone - it was true - but staying free was her problem to worry about. "Up until now, no one has shown a whole lot of interest in me... not that I expected them to. But being all cooped up in this place is so boring, and it's making me feel useless! For a long time before getting caught I lived on my own... I could do it again. As long as I only travel after dark, I'll be fine."
She wasn't truly certain that she wanted to leave, of course. Despite her confident words, she was quite worried about being imprisoned again. No - killed. She wouldn't allow herself to be captured alive again, not after what she had seen. But there was no guarantee that staying here would keep her safe. Someone could easily betray the entire group of them, and then the DMA would arrive in numbers. "Well?" she asked, "Give me a reason to stay, something aside from worrying about saving myself!"
