Lost the key to my heart

I feel my necklace as I jump into bed. Yup, it's still there, just like it should be. I pull it out of my shirt and stare at the key. Such a pretty thing, to hold so much power. The intricate design on this thing is amazing, all done in green and gold gems, it looks almost like a sunshine with vines growing on it. Reluctantly I take it off, and bring the pendant to the small hole between my ribs. I push it until it clicks, then begin to rotate the pendant using the chain. I count out the turns, each one gives me an hour of time. When I get to twenty four, I stop. Any further and you can't sleep until your heart runs low on time again. I've seen that kill people. I've also seen people who forget to wined it up in time. They die too.

I take the pendant out of the hole in my chest, put the chain back around my neck, and get ready for bed. It doesn't take long, all I have to do is brush my teeth and change my clothing.  I fall asleep almost instantly.

----------------------------------------------

"She's asleep. You can do whatever you want to now."  I hear a voice, a man's voice.

"That's disturbing, how they get them to do that willingly." This voice is different. It is also a guy's voice.

"Yah well, that's the problem isn't it. Come on. You need to take it." It's the first voice again.

I feel warm hands on my neck, and something being pulled up and away from me. I know it's important, but I don't know why.

"Sorry." The second voice whispers,  then the presence pulls away, and I fall deeper into sleep.

----------------------------------------------

I wake up to sun falling through the cracks in my curtain. Automatically I reach up to feel my necklace. Nothing's there.

I yank my shirt off, then go right up to my throat, feeling just to make sure that it didn't turn around in the night. No necklace.

"SHIT! Oh this is bad. This is really really bad! Could it have fallen off?" I ask myself, hoping down and searching the floor. "If only I wasn't so messy! Where is it?! Hold up, what's this?" I pick up a sealed envelope, it was sitting on top of the laundry basket.

I rip it open, and several pages of paper covered in hand writing fall out. Snatching them eagerly, And begin to read:

"To a lovely girl who is now reading this:

First and foremost I would like to apologize, I know you feel quite panicked about the sudden loss of your necklace. I also need to tell you an important truth. That necklace is poisonous. 

Hahah no way. I've been using t my whole life!

Now you are most likely like, what? I've had this thing my whole life, it's all that keeps me alive. See, that is where you are wrong. You don't have parents, and were raised at a foster home with children just like you, right.

How does he know so much about me? This is beyond creepy.

So to you this is normal. But to anyone else, this is the absolute worst thing ever. You live inside an experement on human behaviour, one that has been going wrong. In the case that an experiment goes wrong, your heart key can be used to kill you. That what the extra twist of the key does. Sick, right? Impossible right?

Well yah! That's not right!

Wrong  again! To prove just how wrong it is, we've invented a game. The game is simple.  The objective? To get your heart key back.

Good. I need that necklace.

The challenge? That depends on the day and how far along you are. Our first job is to get to the were-house. There you will find your necklace, and a hopefully much shorter note.  Here are some directions, I wish you the best of luck.

PS, if you don't believe me, then you don't have to participate. You can just sit there until your timer runs out, but I would suggest you hurry. Time is a waist ing, and it is a long trip.
