Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Belle was getting dressed to go to the dance class to ease back into life, which she believed was all she had before she found out about the existence of the land of the dead. Her routine hadn't changed since her parents had passed away as she wasn't the kind of vampiress, who took her time to meet and greet people outside in soirees. She had always stayed away from people which made her wonder why it was like that.
She was trying to zip the dress from behind by making use of both of her hands when she felt a pair of hands that were placed on her waist, "Allow me," came Lucas' voice from behind her and she stopped struggling to drop her hands on both her sides.
Belle who had already tasted what it felt like, when Lucas touched and kissed her skin, she wanted to feel more. When she remembered what happened in the inn, and wished she could relive it again, where there was nothing to worry. Feeling Lucas zip the back of her dress close.
