<span style="font-family:Amaranth">Perhaps it was a touch naive of her not to have seen this particular dare coming. She'd heard and read plenty of horror stories about Nerve and the dares people sent out. After all, who would pay good money just to see someone try on a 1500 dollar dress? Not wanting to humor that thought with an answer, she looked around the dressing room, deserted save for the two of them. They were about to do something super illegal, something that could land them in jail if they were caught and detained. She didn't want to think about the phone call she'd have to make to Nikki if she landed herself in jail for stealing, nor did she want to think about the demeaning tone her sisters voice would take on once she found out.<br/>
<br/>
Of course, she had very little time to process these thoughts at all. <i>"Run, run, run, run."</i> Rowan's hand clasped her own and she felt her heart skip a few beats, her head jerking down to look at their hands. He started to walk backwards, and she had no choice but to follow along. It was like the calm before the storm. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears, could feel the blood rushing through her veins as she thought about what they were about to do. With one last glance at him, she gave his hand a squeeze and turned to bolt almost at the same time he did.<br/>

Security went for him, to her surprise. She figured she would have been the easier target. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Rowan feign this way and that, confusing the security staff and distracting them enough for her to slip by. She ducked behind a mannequin, poking her head up above the neck of the thing. There was a crowd gathering, people with phones and whatnot, and some of them were trained on her but most were trained on Rowan.<br/>

With a gentle shake of her head, Annie knew she had to move now before she got caught. Just as she turned around, she spotted one of the female employees, making a beeline for her, looking pissed. With a tiny squeal, she pushed off from her spot behind the mannequin and shot towards the stairs. Rowan wasn't far behind her, she could hear his steps.<br/>
<br/>
When they reached the parking garage, Annie burst out of the door and breathed in the night air. It was quiet now, but it wouldn't be for long. She spun on her bare heel to look at him, blinking a few times, her cheeks flushed from the excitement. "That was insane." She told him as they headed for a car, one she assumed was his. Unless he'd been dared to steal it. <br/>
<br/>
Glancing at him again, she wondered just how smart she'd be to go with him. Just as the thought entered her mind, her phone dinged, and she glanced down at it. Five hundred dollars, deposited into her bank account. "Oh, shit!"</span>
