There was a room in the old Victorian house that held shelves and shelves of books. Probably someone's office, since it had a desk and chair too, but Kit had been more interested in the books. She looked through the titles of the lower shelves, but it was clear from her increasingly furrowed brow that she was not finding what she was looking for. After a couple of minutes, she'd begun to pull books from the shelves, one after another, anger seeming to have built up out of nothing and taken out in a tantrum of emptying a shelf free from it's contents in a flurry of noise and flutter of pages.
Panting slightly, her narrowed eyes caught sight of a set of encyclopedias on a higher shelf. The ferocity faded from her face as she ran over to the desk , grabbed the chair and dragging it over, kicking other books aside along the way. The chair made a squeal as it was dragged across the wood floor. She climbed up and reached until she could grab one of the thick, leather bound books. She took the "b" and the "h" and the "p" editions before jumping down back to the floor.
Books in hands, the girl looked around the room for a moment before choosing to crawl into the space under the desk. There she sat cross legged and unfolded one of the books on her lap before starting to flip through the pages.
