"Where is Sebastian?" I asked hastily.
"I don't know!" Finny looked as though he was going to cry.
I ran faster, my sprinting got me to the kitchen in a matter of second. I kicked the doors to the kitchen open fire blazed out.
"Dammit Bard!" I grumbled as I fell on my ass. Dry coughs sounded from the far corner of the kitchen . I swiftly got up and ran into the kitchen.
"Bard!" I yelled, terrified for the foolish chef. I had no idea how in the hell this fire started. When I spotted him, he was unconscious on the floor. I hurried to him, with a huff of exertion I picked up Bard's large body. I held him as one would a deer, he was bent around my neck and I held his arms with one arm, his legs with the other. I bolted out of the kitchen. Sebastian was in the hall, he was containing the fire keeping it from expanding. Finny looked at me with wonder as i ran out of the blazing kitchen, virtually unscathed.
Bard was my first priority; I put him on the floor. To heal him in this state would hurt me, I was aware of this. I tore the remnants of his burned shirt off to get to his chest. As long as his heart kept beating his life could be salvaged. I put my left hand above his heart and concentrated on giving him my strength, the rise and fall of his chest as he labored breathing willing his breath to come easier. As he got better I found myself minorly plagued by his ailments. He lie unconscious and healed.
"Bard's going to be fine." I said myself. I then turned my attention to the kitchen. At the rate it was burning the fire would spread to the rest of the manor. Sebastian had gone into the kitchen; I stood and hurried in after him. He was staring at the fire with a calculating glare. He was just in my way, standing there contemplating.
"Get out!" I yelled grabbing the end of his tailcoat and pulling him towards the exit.
"Unhand me ." he snatched his tailcoat away from me.
"Listen you self righteous, sorry excuse for a butler, hightail your little ass out of here or I will kick it out."I yelled getting into his personal space. He smirked at me in response. I grabbed his tie and used all of my strength to pull him to the kitchen doorway, slide behind him and kick his cute little ass out of the kitchen. I slammed the double doors shut and locked myself in.
I calmed myself as I began to extinguished using my power as a guardian. With a slight hissing sound the fire dissipated and the kitchen was restored. I took a moment and sensed the time; it was half past 6 AM, the kitchen was less than stocked, and I had an hour and thirty minutes before breakfast was due for the young master. I flung open the double doors, Mey Rin and Finny swiftly looked up at me, their faces flushed. Sebastian only widened his eyes, then after a moment he narrowed them.
"Finny and Sebastian get Bard to his room. Mey Rin get the back up and china an please for the love of all that is holy, tie your shoes, go slowly and take small loads. Got it?" Mey Rin nodded in response," Well go you three! There is a time limit." They all scattered and I was surprised that Sebastian had nothing clever to say back to me. I looked down at Tanaka who stared up at me ready for an assignment. i bent down and kissed his forehead; I sat up quickly as he grew to his normal height.
"Mr. Tanaka, please prepare a place for Master to eat his breakfast."
"Right away," he said in refined voice. He walked away hastily. I closed myself in the kitchen again, I knew that using magic at this point wasn't really a good idea. I did it anyway; I put my hand on the counter and visualized a breakfast for master. Master needs breakfast, and my chores must be completed. I opened my eyes to a beautiful breakfast, I assembled it in a silver cart. My vision blurred and my footing faltered. I all but fell out of the kitchen, nausea hit me full force.
"Sebastian...breakfast...is on the counter," I choked out.
"Lillian, you don't look well, maybe you should go lie down."
"yes...I will," I put hand against the wall for support. I felt Sebastian's eyes on me, his stare was like tangible weight, a weight my body couldn't carry at the moment. My knees buckled and I fell. Coughs racked through my body, I felt as though I was suffocated by smoke. Strong arms supported my body; I looked up at the butler.
"The master's breakfast," I protested.
"It will not be late," Sebastian assured me. He cradled me to his chest, and took me to my bed room, he lie me down on my bed. I watched the window, and with the last of my will power I kept my eyes open. I watched the morning sun break from the clouds like a glimpse of a heaven I would never have. I stood slowly in front of the window.
"Lillian, you should really lie down," Sebastian said, but sounded far away.
" I watched it, just as I promised." I whispered my little comment for sister , as darkness began to bock my view of the sun. I collapsed.
