She is from a far away place (she had to flee from the law), so she’s going it alone

STOP FOLLOWING ME

YOU SAY YOURE NOT BUT I DONT TRUST YOU

I'm literally not but okay

Nothing happened; an occasional guard patrol came by, but none were headed by the bribed officer, and none were more frequent than was usual

He froze for a few seconds, "No." He said, Still standing.

There was nothing, it appeared she had gotten away clean

She looked very confused.

Keir was walking through the hallways, inconspicuously holding the satchel the criminal had given him. He had already counted 3873. A fine addition to my sizable stash. 

"Hello." Said a voice, low and smooth. "I need someth-" The voice cut off abruptly. "Are you..." A shiver ran down my spine. How could this voice in my head know? No, I responded firmly.

"You're... like me. At least your true self is." No. I repeated. "There was a time when you wouldn't have to hide yourself." I am not anything special! "I know what you are, and why you don't want to be found. You would be hunted, driven from place to place, never able to find rest. Until you gave up."

I sighed. Yes, I am a monster. "You don't have to hide with me."

An aide rushed up to him. "There is someone here to see you." I blinked. "See... me? I don't have any connections." "Well, there is someone here for you." "Her name is Keltie. I sent her." "Lead the way," I told the aide

Keir entered the room a minute later. "Hello, Keltie." He said professionally, sitting down across from her

The heavy oak door creaked as Isabel nudged it open with her shoulder. Her arms were piled high with three oversized, leather-bound ledgers and a portable ink-pot balanced precariously on top. This room was supposed to be empty at midday—a forgotten pocket of the subfloor where the air tasted of dust and the only sound was the scratching of a quill.

It was the only place she could breathe without feeling the weight of a thousand eyes. "Finally," she breathed, her voice a tiny, private exhale. "Just me and the records of the..." She froze mid-step. The room wasn't empty.

There was the girl she’d seen around the archives, and then—him. The new officer with the voice like grinding stones and the presence that made the air in the room feel unnaturally heavy.

Isabel’s face went from pale to a deep, blotchy crimson in less than a second. Her grip on the ledgers tightened, her knuckles turning white. She immediately hunched her shoulders, trying to pull her head into her collar like a turtle retreating into its shell. "O-oh," she squeaked, her voice failing her. "I... I am so... terribly... the schedule said... empty. My apologies. I'll just... leave. Or dissolve. Dissolving would be better."

@IcedOutPenguin, is there magic in this world? If so, how does it work and what kinds of magic?

I'm gonna say no to magic for right now, if you want something specific PM me.

"No, no, you're fine. I was just heading out," the officer said. "You do have the room all to yourself. I was just looking for a specific record, one which unfortunately does not exist."
