"Lily," Sebastian began in a serious tone. Lily looked away from her chore of cleaning the parlor windows to look at Sebastian, who was standing in the doorway.
"Yes, Sebastian?" She asked in a sweet tone. Sebastian forced himself to move towards the maid and stood by her side as she finished up her chore. Just as he stepped by her side, the symbol on Sebastians hand began to sting.
"I am sorry to say, but I have to leave for now. I will be back shortly to teach you the rest of your duties," he said, bowing slightly to Lily before walking out of the room. Lily only nodded as she heard the door close.
'Lately, Sebastian's been acting weird,' Lily thought to herself as she placed the cleaning materials on a near by table. She grabbed a feather duster and began to dust the fireplace. Halfway through her dusting, a light smirk appeared on her face. 'But only I know why.'
"Oh, Sebastian," she began, her mouth forming an 'O' before she smiled again, "If only you knew what I really was, just like I know what you are."
With a flick of the wrist, she was done. Walking over to the table, Lily gathered up the cleaning supplies and put them on a cart. Slowly, she pushed it out of the room and into the hallway. A small bell chimmed through the mansion and Lily sighed.
"Tea time," she began, pushing the cart into a near-by utility closet. Scurrying towards the kitchen, Lily heard the voice of Sabastian from outside the door. She opened it and stepped in.
"Ah, Lily, so nice to see you again," Sabastian said. He didn't look up from preparing the tea for Master. He grabbed a plate and put it on the silver tray, and sighed. "Lily?"
"Yes?" She asked, moving closer to Sabastian.
"Could you please get me the orange slice cake from the oven? I must have forgotten to get it," he pointed to the oven. Lily nodded and rushed over to the oven. She grabbed a pair of oven mitts and opened the door, reaching inside and grabbed the cake.
"Smells delicious," she commented. Gently, she put it on the counter and shut the door. Sebastian nodded, a smile on his face.
"Yes, it does." Sebastian reached over and grabbed warning, Lily grabbed his hand before he could touch the hot metal. Sebastian looked at Lily, who looked at him in return. Both had blan express on their faces.
"You almost hurt yourself, Sebastian," Lily said, letting go of Sebastian's hand. She turned away from him and puttin the oven mitts on the top of the oven. Without looking back, she scurried out of the kitchen.
Sebastian stood up straight and fixed his tie. Smiling, he grabbed the cake and took it out of the tin and onto a plate. He then put it onto the silver tay and walked out of the kitchen.
He grabbed a cart once he reached the upstairs corridor and made his way to his Master's studies.
"She's been doing good," he said to himself as the door came closer and closer to him. "Now I just have to put her to the ultimate test."
Sebastian knocked on the studies door, "Young Master, your afternoon tea."
There was a breif pause before a faint, "Come in."
Sebastian pushed the cart into the room and saw his Master talking to Lily, who was standing beside him, pointing inside of a book. She looked up at him for a second, then back down to the book. "Do you get it now, Master?"
Ciel nodded, "Yes. Thank you, Lily." Ciels eyes landed on Sebastian. "What kind of tea is it?"
"Ceylon tea," he responded, pouring a cup. Sebastian walked over, with the cart, and handed his Master his tea. Ceil took a sip and placed it on the saucer. "And as for dessert, we have a orange slice cake. Would you like some?"
"Not now," Ciel said, shaking his head and taking another sip of his tea.
Sebastian bowed,"Very well then. Lily, may I have a word with you in the hallway?"
Lily nodded, "Of course, Sebastian. Master, I will be right back to help you with the rest of your studies." She walked away and out of the room. Sebastian smiled to his Master and followed behind her, shutting the door behind him.
Lily stopped a few feet outside the door. Sebastian behind her. She didn't turn, her back faced him the entire time.
"I am going to put you to the ultimate test, Lily," Sebastian began. "We will be having a guest here at the mansion tomorrow to dicuss some buisness with the Master. His name is Sir Clause. I want you to make sure everything goes alright and I want you to help me set up for this get togeather."
Lily was slient for a moment before nodding slowly. "Alright, thank you for telling me this Sebastian."
"My pleasure," he said. Lily didn't move as she heard Sebastian's footsteps enter the room once again. When she felt the coast was clear, she collapesed to her knees on the ground.
She didn't move.
She didn't do a thing.
She just sat there.
And thought.
Her expression was blank.
And all she did was think.

"I am sorry, my Master," Lily began. She slipped back into the studies room and earned looks from Sebastian and her Master as she walked towards the desk. "I had something to do."
"It's alright," Sebastian said. He grabbed a book off of the bookcase and handed it to Lily. "I'll take his studies from here. I want you to read this, it will help you with your final test tomorrow. I advise you study it."
He stressed the last part, his eyes glaring at the young maid. Lily studied the cover and nodded. "Alright." She turned to her Master and bowed. "I will help you tomorrow my Master. For now, I must retire."
Ciel nodded, a bored look on his face, "Go on then," he said, shoo'ing her away. Lily turned and walked out of the room.
Her head was down as she made her way down the hallway. Without looking, she ended up bumping into a body. Their was a small 'Ack!' from the other person, while Lily just stared at the book.
"I-i'm so sorry!"
Snapping from her trance, Lily saw Mey-Rin on the ground. "No, i'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." Lily held out a hand to the other maid, who took it, and helped her up.
Mey-Rin smiled at Lily. "Your the new maid! Sebastian's told us so much about you! Whats your name?"
"I don't think it's of importance right now. I must go, I have to study for something."
And with that, Lily was gone, away from Mey-Rin.

"You've given her a test?" Ciel asked Sebastian.
"Yes, she will be helping out with Sir Clause tomorrow."
"Really? That should be intresting."
Sebastian nodded, "Yea, it should be."
