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.

Into the forest- Part 1
Belle didn't react and instead got inside the carriage and Lucas followed her to tell the coachman, "Take us to the next town," he said to have the coachman nod, who hopped on to the seat and pulled the reins of the horse.
The Grim reaper who stood outside the carriage turned its head slowly and Belle who sat next to the carriage door could hear the crackling sounds that appeared to come from the Grim Reaper. It was almost similar to the sounds that was created by the ghoul she had met but this one was louder and clearer. Belle shivered at the sudden coldness she had experienced. It was strange how she didn't feel the coldness when she was with Lucas and Barron but when it was the other reapers, she could sense and feel the atmosphere of death that was cold and void. A feeling of emptiness that was consumed by her bones.
