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.

Not the first time- Part 2
Belle gave a look at Rower who was relaxing by leaning against the side of the boat. His legs stretched out and crossed near the ankles as he looked at her. The Grim reapers...they were all tricksters. He wasn't ready to get in but he was sending her into the river.
It didn't look like he would be moving his boat anytime soon and if he was seriously going to stay here, then that would mean Belle would die out of hunger in the boat. Therefore, her options looked pretty less. But wasn't there only one boat that was used to transport the souls? How did he manage to send all the souls back and forth by himself?
"Okay," Belle said and Rower tipped his boney head to look at Belle, somewhat pleased now that the mortal was going to jump into the river but Belle who was standing sat down, "I don't mind spending my time here with you."
