Belle Adams' Butler

Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water._x000D_

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._x000D_

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._x000D_

A DEAD BODY!_x000D_

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?!“_x000D_

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._x000D_

“Gardening.”_x000D_

“And the body?!”she looked at him in disbelief._x000D_

“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?!_x000D_

She then heard him ask her, “Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?” he gave her a sweet smile._x000D_
