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

Winston was still standing outside the tower, waiting for the two Grims who arrived outside to where he was after a few minutes, "Sir Winston," Edgar bowed his head, his already short height turning even smaller at the action before he stood straight, "You called for us?"

"I need you to close the gate right now," ordered Winston.

"Now?" Edgar questioned, "There are souls who are returning back from the living.

"I am sure you can lock it from inside without the new souls being stopped to pass from the living to the dead. Go to the front and monitor who goes in or out. Send death reapers only if they are assigned. Any newbie will be brought right to me!" Winstone continued to order.

Moore only stared and when Winston's eyes moved to look at Moore he nodded his head.

"Great! Off you go now! Be quick in making sure no one enters," demanded Winston before dismissing all of them to go search the newly created reapers and be brought in front of him.
