Belle Adams' Butler

Chapter 274 - Wandering Soul- Part 2

Belle had never met this girl before. The condition Charlotte was in, she felt sorry while also wondering what happened to her. Charlotte had a very kind and sweet demeanour that made it hard to believe that she was killed gruesomely if it weren't for the wide-open cavity that showed her bones.

"I'm sorry," apologized Belle when her eyes went to look at the open chest. She knew it was rude to be looking at it and it wasn't just Belle who was looking at Charlotte as there was also Barron who seemed like he was looking at her.

"That's alright," responded Charlotte, not minding the attention she was receiving from them, "Lucas briefed me about what is going on. I am more than happy to help Leo and Vivi."

"Thank you for volunteering," said Belle before walking towards the smoke and Lucas followed her, "Why hasn't she passed to the realm of the dead?" It was a question that arose in her mind.

"Because her reaper didn't take her soul with it," answered Lucas, his voice low to make sure their conversation was kept private, "I don't think she stayed at the spot of her death either. Usually, when a person dies, they are in shock and they take time to comprehend what has taken place. During those times, souls often wander around."

"But even if it's not in the realm of the dead, a soul cannot be wandering in the living. Aren't there chances of corruption where it might turn to a spirit?" she looked at the girl who once was a vampiress.

"Some souls have stronger integrity and are hard to crack under pressure. Like you," pointed Lucas, "If you had a weak soul after the first half of your soul left you, you would have corrupted your heart."

"What if it has already gone?" asked Belle, her eyes looking into Lucas' black eyes, "I know what happened the day George died," her eyes had a look of worry in them.

Lucas stared at Belle. Greed had mentioned it and he had hoped for it to be untrue but it seemed like it was true. Belle was turning out to be a person who was aware of her surroundings and the changes that were happening within herself.

"We'll deal with it then. I won't let any harm befall on you," he assured her and Belle nodded her head.

She then looked at Charlotte, "How did you find her?" she asked him.

"Found her a few weeks ago. She travelled from Mytheweald to Bonelake. Having another in the ghoul's world who was not related could end up in an imbalance if they were to open their mouth that the ghoul's world is not real," explained Lucas, "It would be like someone come to this land and tell that everything that is surrounding us is a lie- that includes the memories of the people which will make one search and find the truth."

Belle then said, "We are going to make the ghoul's world a safe place for Vivian but what then? When do you think it is right to bring them back?" she asked him.

"That is something you will leave to the ghoul. Your only work is to save the souls and push them in the fabricated world. Bringing them back right away will only lead the Grims and the rest of the army behind us. I am sure the ghoul will figure it out," replied Lucas.

They then went back to where the others were standing, Belle then asked, "Do you mind if I touch you?"

Charlotte gave a look of surprise, she then nodded her head, "Okay," she answered.

Belle knew it would be rude to place her hands in the open cavity where she would be able to feel things closely but it would be disrespectful to do it. She was just curious and therefore she placed her hand on the girl's hand, holding it to feel the painful emotions that started to flow in rapidly. Feeling a chill run down her spine, she took her hands back.

"I am sorry," whispered Belle. Belle had the ability to look into the death. Anyone or anything that related to death was something she could read, it was the gift of curse where she was able to feel the pain what the person felt.

Charlotte seemed to stare at Belle for a couple of seconds before she said, "You have a strange gift."

Lucas who stood behind said, "We are going to start the work now. Charlotte, you will be taken inside the fabricated world that belongs to the ghoul. One of us will see if everything is going well and then we will have Vivian pushed into this world. This way your souls will be safe and will not corrupt in any way."

The girl nodded her head understandingly.

"Belle," Lucas turned to her and Belle walked in front of the smoke-like portal. She raised her hand, repeating the spells she had already placed earlier to tighten the force that would keep the new soul that would be entering intact.

The ghoul was the one who took Charlotte through the portal and when more spells were spoken, the wind in the forest started to pick its pace that had the trees move back and forth like an oncoming rain that was about to fall on the ground of Bonelake.

The ghoul returned back outside after leaving the girl and it said, "It has been done."

"Good. Now we need to follow Vivian," she turned to Lucas and said, "Everest said that Vivian and Leonard will be travelling to the land of Valeria."

"We follow them," answered Lucas before his eyes fell on Greed and Barron who were standing not too far away from him, "Do you think you will be able to manage the mansion by yourself?"

"Isn't the massacre of the black witches around the corner?" asked Greed.

"The massacre isn't our problem. Just make sure you don't burn the house with him," said Lucas, giving a pointed look to the fourth and the sixth card of the Grims.
