I walked out of the place. I wasn't quite sure I'd make it to Ciel's by night. If I'm correct I have approximately two hours. I should've left sooner. I wonder…what Sebastian told Ciel when I left and why I did. Hmmm. That would've been funny.

I had managed part of the walk through town, although it took me about forty-five minutes. I looked in to many shops. I was going to be late. Shit.

"Excuse me miss, I couldn't help but notice you have no carriage to ride in."

"That's correct." I said not turning and continuing to walk.

"Isn't it impolite to ignore someone when they're talking to you?"

Something about the voice bothered me. "Sure, but I think the right question is 'Do I care?'" I said getting annoyed at this person for not leaving me alone like most other people.

"How rude."

"Yes, I can be rude can't I? Everyone can act the way they choose to can't they?"

"My, my, how horrible your manners are young lady."

"I believe I already told you, I don't care. Now, if you don't mind, I would like to take my walk in peace."

"A lady should never walk unaccompanied. So, may I escort you?"

"No, leave me alone. Go away."

"Why?"

"Haven't I already told you? I am busy taking a walk."

"Did your father say you could? Alone?"

"As a matter of fact he did. He trusts me."

"You lie."

"Go away."

"No. What have I done to you? Anything?"

"Yes you have."

"I have? What did I do?"

"YOU FUCKING ANNOY ME!" I said when we were safely out of town not to be heard.

" 'Fucking'?" he sounded a bit amused.

I ignored his mumbled comment. Something bothered me though. I listened and noticed the only sound was me, well, my walking footsteps anyway. I looked up at the sky. It was getting dark fast. Crap. I turned, and almost screamed.

The person that had followed me was right there. He put his had over my mouth, it was gloved. I hadn't even had the chance to see who it was. I didn't care though. I managed to bite his hand, and he released me. I looked up only to find… Sebastian standing before me. How could I have let myself be so stupid? I started to cry, again. I hated it, which made me mad at myself. That only made me cry harder. Curse the fact that I cry when I'm angry.

"I was hoping to avoid this. I'm sorry, Adriana." He said looking at me. I could've fallen into his eyes they were so deep, like he held much pain behind them. And then I blacked out.

I awoke on my bed. Wait? My bed? At Ciel's? How did I get here? I thought back to the night before.

All I could remember was leaving the Undertaker's place. Nothing else…so, what on earth happened. I was struggling to remember when Sebastian walked into my room.

"You are awake."

"Yes?" I said, it sounded more like a question though.

"How are you feeling?" he said with a look of concern. I thought he was faking though.

"Just fine, can I ask you something?"

"Anything." He replied a bit flatly or weary I couldn't decide.

"Just exactly how did I get here?"

"What do you mean? You don't remember?"

"Umm…not exactly."

"We ran into each other in town, by the shops. You asked me for a ride home."

"I did?" I raised me eyebrow at him.

"Yes."

"Dammit."

"What?" he looked confused.

"I swore to myself I would ignore you."

"Why?"

"Because…you told me you loved me."

"How was I wrong in saying that?"

"Never mind."

"I'm curious."

"And…your point is?"

"I would like to understand you more. You're confusing you know. So, I would like to know what upset you last night."

"Never mind. I don't want to talk about it."

"Can you tell me, please?"

"Fine." Wait! Why'd I say that! I hate that word, it makes me give in so easily.

"Okay, you can talk now."

"Impatient much?"

"We don't have much time."

"And why not?"

"You have a lunch to go to."

"I do? Since when?"

"Since yesterday."

"Who's it with?"

"Don't worry. We need to get you ready."

"Okay, wait what?"

"You heard me. Now let's start moving."

"What do we need to do?"

He didn't answer me. He just dragged me to the bathroom. "You take a bath, a robe is over there for you. You have thirty minutes."

After I was basically ready, the rest I could take off on my own, he walked out. The bath was very relaxing. Oddly enough though, it smelt like fruit. The sent clung to my hair. I didn't even realize it had been thirty minutes until Sebastian knocked on the door.

"Hold on!" I yelled, jumped out and wrapped the robe around me.

He walked in. and asked, "Did you just climb out?"

He was obviously looking at the trail of water behind me and the puddle of water dripping off my hair onto the floor.

"Uh, sorta."

"Sorta?"

"This again? I really need to start considering my words!"

"What does sorta mean?" he sounded a little impatient.

"It kinda means, well, it means something like yeah, or yes. I think. People use it sometimes where I come from."

"I see, now, what does kinda mean?"

"Ug, similar."

"I see."

"Can you-"

He interrupted me by saying "You need to get ready. Lunch? Remember?"

"Yeah. Did you just interrupt me?" I asked being honestly curious.

He stood silent for a few moments. "Please forgive my rudeness, my lady."

I just looked at him, a look of confusion all over my face. He noticed, I swear, he never misses anything I do!

"You're confused? At what?"

"You scare me." I said, with the same look and turned to walk away.

"Oh, no you don't." he said and pulled me back into my room and shut the door again. "How do I scare you?"

"You called me 'my lady'."

"Is there a problem?"

"Yes, can you just call me by my name? Adriana?"

"If you would like me to, my lady."

"Stop that!"

"Sorry, I have angered you. How can I make it up to you?"

"You know, now that I think of it…I want to go home."

"You are home."

"I mean my world or universe or whatever. Oh, and Alessa would have to come to.

He just looked at me and didn't answer. He helped me into the dress and led me to Ciel who was waiting for me.
