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

Music recommendation: Middle Earth | Rivendell - Music & Ambience

Looking at the people who were in the room, Belle could only tell that Adams' mansion was turning full within a few weeks. After her parent's death, it was just the servants who worked in the Adams mansion and Belle along with Lucas. Then came Barron, after which they had locked Baltimore which now she wondered how they had done it. Oh, yes, Lucas had hit Baltimore's head before dragging him up and placing him in the cell. Then it was Greed who had been trapped but freed. Now they had Lucas' hellhound.

Though it was a mixture of creatures in the Adams' mansion, it somehow felt like family because the mansion was no more quiet. At least not with Barron who kept crashing into everything and anything like a little tornado of disaster.
