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.

The Fourth Grim stood looking at Lucas who went back to look outside the window where it was heavily raining. He had heard on and on from Belle about her feelings for the Grim reaper but this was tough one to crack. Though Barron had not got the pleasure or maybe he was fortunate to not have met this Grim in the past, he had heard a lot of things. So many things that he had turned to a ghost in the land of the dead.
"There is a way your name can be cleared from the list but that will take time," Lucas's words had the bunny turn towards him and he quickly climbed with the little space that was available to stand.
"What is your plan?" Barron asked in a serious voice. The reaper had no interest in being hunted and today if it weren't for the raven both he and Belle's soul would have transcended to the land of the dead.
