234 In a pickle- Part 2

"I am no witch," answered Lucas and Barron couldn't help but snicker to himself on hearing the words of the maid, "Barron and I come from the land of the dead, a place that exists only to the dead and we are the Grim reapers. Creatures who take the souls from the living to the dead."

The room was filled with silence and the servants held their breath as they heard Lucas drop the storm on them.

Belle knew it was not advisable to let the others know about the dead but if they didn't explain now, it would lead to more problems. And she knew in the future, there would be more creatures showing up in front of the mansion's door. They had lost servants and two of them were now packing their bags to leave the mansion not wanting to have any part in it. But the other five continued to sit on the floor with a gobsmacked expression on their face. 

"We mean no harm and we are here only to protect Miss Belle who needs our help," explained Lucas.
