Belle Adams' Butler

Chapter 85 - Reaper- Part 1

When Belle went inside the mansion and took the right to go upstairs, Lucas turned back to look at the rabbit in his hand, "I didn\'t do anything! I am the victim here!" he shouted when the butler started to walk around the mansion and was taken to the horse shed where the workers were not there.

Lucas placed the rabbit on the hay with not much gentleness and glared at Barron, "What did you mean by sickle?"

Barron moved his head back dramatically about to speak that caused the rabbit to fall back who had to be corrected. Lucas picked the stuffed toy and placed it back, noticing how Barron\'s movements were getting better along with the rabbit, "A reaper arrived at the cemetery! You might be a teeny tiny little reaper but I am a Grim and now my name has been listed in rogues! Why is that?" Barron asked in a dramatic tone. If he could he would have stomped his fluffy furred feet on the hay right now, "BECAUSE YOU GOT ME STUCK HERE!"

"Why was the reaper there?" Lucas asked looking at the rabbit who was ragging right now.

"Because I am on the wanted list!" Barron ground his jaws together, "They want me in the court and by the excitement of the reaper I would tell it is because my position of being Grim has been offered."

Lucas wasn\'t surprised by it. He knew this was going to happen, with the tenth and thirteenth Grim who had fallen back from their work, going underground, the next Grim\'s disappearance was going to be a tipping point which Lucas knew right from the very start.

"Did you know there is a portal to the transit there? And what in the fucking name are you hiding!!" Barron continued to shout who only Lucas could hear.

"What are you speaking about?"

Barron\'s hand slowly moved to only fall down, "I saw what happened! She was able to touch the reaper. I was wondering what you are doing here working but I see the girl is special. Who is she? What is she?"

Barron had never seen any mortal stop a reaper and it had nothing to do with the umbrella she held. It was because she was holding the umbrella did the object make a contact with the reaper who was about to take her life too.

He had expected her to run away from there, not that there was an escape from a death reaper except for the grains of salt. No, he had not expected her to notice the reaper. Reapers could not be seen until a person met death and she was still a living breathing thing. And Barron was trying to wrap his head around it.

"Belle is a special vampire," answered Lucas. Barron expected Lucas to continue but the butler stopped speaking only because a maid happened to be walking outside the mansion with a basket in her hands, "When she was young her soul was being feasted by the scavengers, therefore, half of her soul is here and half of the soul subconsciously moves in the land of the dead."

"That\'s not possible," Barron stared at Lucas, "One cannot have a half and half soul in either side of the lands. And scavengers don\'t eat half. What were they saving her for some special occasion?"

"Her soul is part of the alignment of stars or fated stars, an inbuilt creature who received the ability right when they are born that gets activated in the year of the gold and red moon. When I arrived here the scavengers were trying to eat bit by bit which is the resultant of her weak body. She falls sick sooner than the other vampires, almost as good as the humans which include her ability to heal," explained Lucas

Lucas didn\'t bother to hide anything as Barron was on the same boat as him, also it appeared that somewhere Belle\'s presence had softened the reapers demeanor.

"Isn\'t this stars supposed to do something with the witches?" asked Barron. Not many were aware of what it was and he didn\'t know from where the butler had heard it.

"Yes, she\'s the third one. She sees death."

Barron gave some thought over this and it dawned on him on how she had first spotted him when he had arrived here. She had been able to see him and he had decided she would be the next victim but who knew the tables would turn and he would be victimized as a soft furry looking rabbit.

His reputation had been thrown out of the window since he had met this butler who stood in front of him, not to forget the number of pets he received from the girl! Was he some kind of dog?!

"What is wrong with her? She came back for the rabbit," Barron said in an unbelievable tone.

The death reaper had come for Barron but Belle had got involved because she was there and now Barron knew the truth. Lucas had given the reaper enough knowing the Fourth Grim wouldn\'t betray Belle.

"Reapers are going to hunt me now along with the hellhounds."

"You will be fine. I am sure the reapers will find a soft spot for a furry animal-"

"Do you see this," Barron looked down at his body, "I am rolled in the mud because the reaper wanted to drag me BACK to the land of the dead to the courts. Fix this, right now!" Barron demanded.

Lucas stared back at Barron with a good amount of thought and then raised his hand to snap his fingers, "There you go," the butler started to walk leaving Barron there who was about to complain when he realized he was able to move his hands without any trouble.

Barron placed his cushioned cotton hands on the surface of the hay and he was finally able to stand up on his feet. He could move his arms and legs!
