?Time is running out for you!? She
paused, then shouted more loudly?Inform me when I'm to start calling you Melanie!?
Her voice faded as the space between us grewI knew she would follow at her own paceThis
last uncomfortable week?seeing her face in the back of every class, hearing her footsteps behind
me on the sidewalk every day?was nothing compared to what was comingShe was going to
make my life a misery
It felt as if Melanie were bouncing violently against the inner walls of my skull
Let's get her cannedTell her higher-ups that she did something unacceptableIt's
our word against hers ?
In a human world,I reminded her, almost sad that I didn't have access to that sort of
recoursehere are no balenciaga magenta giant work higher-ups, in that senseEveryone works together as equalsThere are
those whom many report to, in order to keep the information organized, and councils who make
decisions about that information, but they won't remove her from an assignment she wantsYou
see, it works like ?
Who cares how it works if it doesn't help us? I know?let's kill her!A gratuitous image of my
hands tightening around the Seeker's neck filled my head
That sort of thing i***actlywhy my kind is better left in charge of this place

It was quiet in my head for a brief momentI wished the silence could lastBut
there was only one way to buy my peaceWas I willing to pay the price? Did I have a choice
anymore?
Melanie slowly calmedBy the time I was through the front door, locking behind me the bolts
that I had never before turned?human artifacts that had no place in a peaceful world?her

We take it very seriously, as you can imagineThanks for your concernhe wasn't bothered by
the thick edge of irony in the thought
She was still musing over this discovery while I turned on my computer and began to look for
shuttle flightsIt was a moment before she was aware of what I was doing
Where are we going?The thought held a flicker of panicI felt her awareness begin to rifle
through my head, her touch like the soft brush of feathers, searching for anything I might be
keeping from her
I decided to save her the search
The panic was more than a flicker nowhy?
I'm going to see the Healer want to talk to him before I make my decision
There was a brief silence louis vuitton multicolor before she spoke again
The decision to kill me?
Yes, that one
