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.

Pushing buttons- Part 2
Lucas answered, "He's a passing guest."
"Is he a soul?" Belle asked intrigued.
"Yes," the butler replied back to her and she gave him a nod, "He was a wandering soul and I thought it would be best to have him around."
"Why?" her beautiful red eyes looked at him questioningly. She didn't know how to feel that her beloved toy was possessed by someone.
"He was lost.I decided to show him a way that probably he can stay here for some time before his soul is taken back. It is never good for a soul to be wandering as they get eaten by hellhounds who feed on wandering souls," Lucas explained and Belle furrowed her eyebrows at this.
"I thought death reapers come to fetch the souls once a person dies."
"Most of the time that is what happens but at times a reaper reaches the destination late and by that time, the soul leaves the initial death site," he said and by her expression, he could tell she was agreeing to it.
