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.

Belle Adams' Butler

As if sensing someone's presence, Vivian turned her eyes from her body that was in deep pain and now in resting to look at a girl who had red eyes and her hair as dark red and brown as some of the woods in the forest.

"I have seen you before," said Vivian but not knowing where exactly.

Belle pursed her lips but then replied, "It was in the church when you went to meet Lady Isabell," at the name Vivian looked slightly surprised. Belle didn't see any reason for her to hold back about some things when she had already decided how to send Vivian to the ghoul's world, "I am like you…" the words sounding strange as she said it but Vivian didn't appear to have a questionable look on her face as she heard Belle speak.

"I hope you have a better life than I did," Vivian wished for the girl who she had never spoken to.
