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.

It's not a goodbye- Part 2
Seven hours passed and Belle stood behind the tree, watching the girl who was sitting on the ground with her legs outstretched as she looked up at the sky which was covered by the clouds and the branches of the trees. She could see that Vivian was in too much pain as she continued to spew blood from her mouth that often fell through the gaps of her fingers to sprinkle on the ground and some to fall on the snow. Both sides of her, the snow was inked with red which was spreading.
Belle wished she could do something for Vivian, but there was nothing she could do right now. Intervening something for a momentary relief would only change the course of time. Therefore, she saw the ghoul stand by her side. They didn't appear to be talking, but Belle could see and tell that having the ghoul next to her was giving her the needed relief and company.
