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.

Memory of Ghosts- Part 1
After hearing Barron speak about ghosts, Belle wondered if there was something in this mansion which she had never noticed before but then Lucas didn't know about it too. When dinner was done, the servants went back to their quarters as usual and Belle, Lucas and Barron walked in the corridors of the mansion that was quiet and empty except for them.
Both Lucas and Belle carried a latern each in their hands as they walked towards the corridor where the incident had taken place.
"This is the place Mr. and Mrs. Adams had locked before I arrived here," said Lucas when they reached the spot.
"Did they say why they locked it?" Belle asked him. The Adams mansion, Belle had lived here for more than seventeen years now but in those years, her parents had kept this place locked or more like the rooms and the corridors of this place.
"It is because people often ended up dying here," said Lucas. Both Belle and Barron turned their head to look at Lucas.
