Beguiled by Irina Paniot

 -Come on, don't be such a wimp!"

the girl said.

-"I‘m trying not to get arrested!" the guy replied. "Have a little fun! Live man!"

-"Why do you want to go to the Lightman's party anyway? It's just a bunch of rich people drinking wine and trying to get some."

-"Ugh, that's exactly why we have to go! We can shake it up a bit. Be a party crasher for once in your life."

-"If you shut up, then fine."

They headed to the mansion, and the moment they gained entrance, the girl started heading away.

-" Where are you going?" the boy asked.

- “Upstairs. Got to make some racket."

-"Then what do I do?"

-"Just wait here." She bounded up the stairs.

The boy walked into the ballroom, and barely five seconds later, a crash sounded from upstairs. The girl leaned over one of the rails.

-"Catch!" she shouted, throwing a large object down to the boy. Out of impulse, he caught it, then stood there, unsure of what to do.

She laughed.

-"Run!"

Suddenly, he realized what he was holding: the Lightman's family heirloom; a sapphire necklace, easily worth millions on the black market. He watched as security guards ran towards him. He sped away, but then the necklace was taken from him. He looked and saw the girl already half a block away. The guards caught him in his shocked state.

-"She beguiled me," he whispered.
