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 3
"My sisters and brothers are hungry. Come to the den," invited the creature and Belle took a step back. More than the coins, she was worried about the creature who was going to suck her soul dry and it would only lead to her body to reside in this river forever. Maybe that is why there were skeletons. Because they were being pulled from the shore of the lake of bones to be brought here as food.
Belle was already running out of time and she didn't intend to stay here. She wondered if she would end up with the same fate. She wondered if she spent more time in here, it would result in something similar to how Lucas and Barron were getting accustomed and changed in the land of the living.
"Come take me," replied Belle and the creature smiled in glee. Jagged teeth came out and eyes that looked like a witch's eyes.
