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.

Grim in the council- Part 4
To know if the councilman was indeed the Grim reaper who was hiding in here for years, he would have to go touch the person to confirm his suspicion. He looked at the way people conversed with him. A person like him who appeared to be a saint was the most suspicious character, thought Lucas to himself. There were too many things that were hidden beneath that pleasant, kind, lovable surface.
"You did a good job, Councilman Fitz. I was looking all over the room but don't know how I happened to miss it," answered Councilman Creed, "I will be sure to return the favour back."
Another man who stood with Councilman Creed only smiled and when his eyes fell on Lucas who was looking at them, Lucas was the first one to bow and the other man bowed back.
Lucas started to walk away from them too as the young man left the councilmen but when the two older councilmen were far away, Lucas had returned back to listen in on their conversation.
