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.

Darkness- Part 1
Belle hugged Portia in her arms, the smoke oozing out from Portia's stomach that had started to increase and surround them. When Belle held the dying soul in her arms, she tapped back into the forbidden magic. It was easier to make use of the magic not just because she was in the land of the dead but because she had the bone that belonged to Winston. Even though she was back to her mortal form, the powers that came from the bone was still usable. It was how Winston was able to access the forbidden magic after he had created this bone.
Lucas and Greed were out fighting the death reapers while Barron who was sitting on top of the edge of the window had jumped down on the ground, noticing the volume of black smoke increasing as seconds passed.
