Belle Adams' Butler
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.

In a pickle- Part 1
Belle could feel a headache forming in her head. This was like nonstop events that were going on one after another where they couldn't catch a break for themselves. With the spirits gone, Belle could feel pain at the thought that her parents didn't exist anywhere anymore. Not in the land of the living nor in the land of the dead as they were consumed by the spirits.
She clenched her hands together in anger that she felt which was brewing in her chest, bubbling like a volcano that was waiting to erupt.
Lucas noticed Belle's silence. Though she had said she was alright, he knew she wasn't. At least not with the way her eyes had turned vacant after finding out that the people who had entered the mansion were not her parents.
"We need to get the man quickly before he blabbers to the people that he saw Belle's parents. Imagine what everyone is going to say?"
"Let it be," Lucas answered this caught both Belle and Barron's attention.
