i pulled it. just once and they hunted me down. but — i didn't die, and i think it's the necklace that saved me. like jackie saved me, even though she was already dead, or something travis' little brother javi died instead of me. and then they all acted like the wilderness chose me somehow. like that necklace was a crown, or something. like i got chosen and not dying was all part of it. some ritual i passed they started calling me queen like i wasn't just at the sharp end of the knife they all loved me for a little while
( then, like everyone invariably does — they stopped. )
