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.

The company- Part 2
Belle who stayed back in the mansion went to check on the guests she had in the mansion. She knew having George in the mansion was risky could raise his suspicious if he found anything to be odd but if he never found out, the council's suspicion wouldn't fall on them.
Councilman Joshua had been sent to the Adams' mansion to verify the statements and take new ones from Lucas but instead of stalling him away which could have happened if the spirits had not shown up at the door. They had tied him up and placed in one of the rooms. Entering the room where the fireplace was still burning brightly, Belle saw the councilman who was staring at the wall to turn to look at her.
