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.

Belle who had woken up from her long sleep looked at Barron with a quizzical expression on her face, "Where is Lucas?" she asked the rabbit who appeared to be quiet.
"He went in search of you. To the land of the dead," answered Barron in a very grave tone, "Where were you? You didn't wake up for nearly twenty-four hours. We thought you wandered off to the land of the dead because you usually do it in your sleep not to forget you were covered in blood yesterday," said Barron folding his hands and looking at Belle.
Yesterday? She had been sleeping for far too long and had just woken up to find out that Lucas had gone to a place he was not supposed to go, that he had not been to for many years now.
"Well you are here and he thinks you are there."
Belle pursed her lips and then said, "Someone needs to go the land of the dead," someone had to let Lucas know she was here so that he wouldn't keep searching for her while getting attacked by the death reapers.
