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.

Time ticks- Part 3
Belle could barely wait to get to work. Not used to having such peaceful days, it felt strange as she had Lucas headed back to where Greed stood at the grave of her parents, unmovingly.
"Would it be strange if I said I find him creepy at times?" asked Belle in a whisper.
"I find him creepy sometimes myself, but you get used to him. He can be very annoying," answered Lucas and Greed's eyes narrowed as if he knew they were speaking about him.
"Not to forget his admiration for you. I feel like I am fighting a jealous girl," confessed Belle with an awkward smile and Lucas chuckled.
"I feel very loved by you," he took hold of her hand and squeezed her hand in his. The smile on Belle's face widened, "We should head back to the mansion," he announced before his eyes started to sweep across the cemetery around them.
