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.

Search- Part 1
Belle looked at the tree with a shocked expression on her face. Her already cold blood turned even more chill at the sight that stood outside. Both Lucas and Belle went out of the hut to come and stand in front of the large tree that had children hanging on them.
The children's hands were bound by their wrists and had been tied to the branches of the tree all around. None of them had eyes, not because it was closed but there were deep hollowness in each of their faces as if the eyes had been scooped out along with the eyelids. They were children who barely looked like they were eight or nine years old. Unable to look at it, she took four steps back before bending down to throw up the bile that had risen in her throat.
Her eyes watered. How could they do this...how could they, thought Belle to herself.
