Hey guys, sorry this part has taken so long. I would have written the rest of it yesterday, but it was my birthday and I honestly just didn't want to. Anyway, here's chapter 6! ~IAE

I ended up wandering the halls aimlessly, until I ended up near the main hall once again. So far I hadn't found anything of interest, but I've only looked in the right wing. Sebastian hasn't caught me yet, thankfully. I think if he caught me outside of the room he'd be tempted to kill me. I almost bumped into Tanaka once, but I was near one of the passages that lead to the rec room, so I was able to slip in there and hide.

The passage was fairly clean, and slightly heated. I'm guessing that the servants and Sebastian use it, and probably the other passages as well, to get to different parts of the mansion quickly. I heard Tanaka walk past, but I would rather be safe then sorry. I continued walking until I found the door at the other end. At the library, the rec room was down the hall from Brooke's office, so that she could monitor the noise level of the students that came to the library after school. At the library, it was covered by a vent and a well-placed bookshelf.

Now it was just covered by a thick piece of wood. I wonder what's behind it. Not even thinking about the consequences I moved the wood aside and stepped into the room.

The room I walked into seemed to be a library of sorts. The bookshelves covered both walls on the east and west sides of the room and went all the way up to the ceiling. The north side held a good sized desk, and the south had a few waist-high stands that held lamps and what looked like melting wax and stamps for mailing.

I had only been in there a moment when the door opened, and Sebastian entered. His eyes caught mine and his nostrils flared in anger. He started towards me and with every step he took forward, I took one back. This happened until I my back was against the bookshelf that covered the passage.

"How did you get in here, Miss? I seem to remember leaving you in your room. Maybe you didn't understand, but you are not to leave that room unless asked to by the young master." He glared at me and his eyes started to glow.

I fumbled around for the right words. "You never exactly said what I could and could not do, so I decided to have a peek around the manor."

His eyes glowed a bit more, but he remained silent. We stood there for a few more minutes, just looking at each other. Finally, his eyes darkened to their deep bloody brown color, and he stepped away from me. "I guess you're right, neither the young master or I ever said that you were confined to your room."

He bent down on one knee, hand over his heart. "Forgive my mistake."

He looked back up at me and I nodded in acceptance. "I shouldn't have wandered off without informing somebody, so I am also partially to blame."

He got off the floor and told me, "I must ask you to stay in your room tonight, miss. The Earl is having an important associate over and it would look bad if he had a girl with little to no social standing staying in his mansion. As long as you are in your room by six you will be fine. I can bring you dinner either before the guest arrives or while they are having dinner, although if you choose the second option, you must dine by yourself in your room."

I bit my lip and nodded. It couldn't be the same associate that I was thinking of. "If I may ask, who is coming?"

"An Italian man in charge of stuffed animals in the Earl's factory in India."

I felt my eyes widen and I took a step back. "I'm not eating the lemon-meringue pie. Not even if you paid me." I walked around him and started towards the door, not realizing I'd said my thoughts out loud.

A hand on my shoulder stopped my from walking, and turned me around so I was once again face-to-face with Sebastian.

"I always surprise my master with what his dinner and dessert will be. Not even Bardroy knows what I will make. How can someone who hasn't even been here for a single day know what I'm going to do?"

I tried to shrug away from his hand and avoid the question, but he tightened the hand on my shoulder into a bruising grip.

"Miss Middleton, if you could answer the question before this gets violent, I would greatly appreciate it," Sebastian said.

With all the will power and strength I could muster, I ripped myself away from his grasp. "Well I would greatly appreciate you not bruising me! I'm a guest in this house-hold dammit, and should be respected as such! As a Phantomhive butler you should be one of the most upstanding personnel that there is!"

Immediately he backed off a step and just walked to the desk at the other end of the room. He sat in the chair and started to go through some paper. I figured I wouldn't be getting an apologies, so I turned to leave again, and am this time stopped by Sebastian's voice.

"I would be greatly appeased if you left the same way you came in. I simply cannot allow a guest, especially a young girl, to be seen running practically naked throughout the manor. Stick to the passages and we won't have a problem."

Fuming, I stomped over to the bookshelf and felt around it's edges until I felt the switch, walking through and huffing as it slammed behind me.
