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.

To think there was someone just like her, part of her, she asked Lucas, "How does it work? Me here and her there? I thought the souls will follow one after another."
"If the scavengers had sucked your soul entirely without eating bit by bit, then the soul would have followed to finally settle and form what she has turned to. Consider it more like a skin shedding from your body which is not needed," said Lucas to her, "It might sound selfish but the truth right now is, that soul that was once part of you doesn't belong to you. It has turned to a creature of the dead, something I would prefer you would never cross path with."
"Did she say something?" asked Belle curious.
