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.

The rocks that flew out from the wall, created a wide hap while turning the stones to dust. The black witch continued to throw spells at them while the girl who was captive had her hands bound in ropes, sitting on the ground helpless.
"I did not do anything!" came the voice of Barron from the door as he was the one who had caught the attention of the black witch first.
Lucas and Belle were split, the butler trying to get to the black witch who had a series of spells that flew in the air and he tried to dodge them. The witch was quick in her movements, appearing to be experienced as she didn't let him get close to her and instead tried to drive him away from the house.
In that time, Belle went to the girl who had her hands tied.
"S-she's going to come back!" the girl whispered, panic in her voice.
