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 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.
