Belle Adams' Butler

Chapter 57 - The Clock- Part 4

Belle looked at the maid who she had spoken to this morning in the garden who was now dead on the floor. More screams were heard and she quickly went down to come in front of a few more servants who were all corrupted.

She saw Lucas killing them one after another, moving his hands and legs to throw them off and to tear their head away. For someone who had been sheltered, everything that was happening in front of her felt too fast where she was trying to grasp what just happened a few minutes ago? There was too much blood on the white walls as Lucas didn't make use of stakes but used his hands to kill them.

"Belle!" Lucas called her when a maid came right at her, he was already killing the maids and other servants who had turned into corrupted vampires.

Noticing another corrupted maid coming towards her, Belle pushed the vase from the stand to break it and run the stake right through the maid's chest. Though she was a sheltered child of this mansion, Belle had learned how to stake the trees when she had found Lucas killing a big animal in the forest two years ago, urging him to teach her too. Never had she imagined she would be utilizing it for something like this, to kill the people she loved and cared.

"I am so sorry," she whispered when the corrupted maid's state switched between being a vampire and a corrupted vampire. Belle's breath came out shallow as she let go of the stake to step back. The maid fell down on the floor like the rest of them.

Seeing another maid who was being held down by the corrupted vampire, Belle went to help her out by pushing away the corrupted vampire off the young girl, "Go to one of the rooms along with the others and lock it. Don't open it for anyone!"

The maid ran away taking another maid along with her while Belle carried another stake in her hand. She didn't want to do it but if she didn't she would end up like the rest of them. Corruption was nothing less to an infection that could be passed by the bite. The servant was a male, who now bared his unusually big fangs like teeth at her. His face looked livid, his face contoured in anger with eyes that were completely black and the skin around his face that had raised nerves near his eyes.

Suddenly the man who had been corrupted changed back to his vampire self as if he were alright. She saw him look down at his hands that were covered in blood, he looked even more confused than her, and then his appearance started to change again. There were already the black vapors that were surrounding him and some others that told her they all were dying.

She clutched on the wooden stake tightly, her eyes closed as the corrupted vampire approached. Before he could hurt her, she looked up and pushed the stake right into his heart.

Realizing her mother and father were in the drawing-room, Belle quickly made a dash to the place, pushing the door open when she saw something she shouldn't have witnessed. Belle's hand was still on the door as she had used it to push it, the hand slowly sliding down from the surface of the wood to fall next to her.

The pupil of her eyes turned wide and dark to what she saw. The room was utterly silent. Her father and mother stood in front of each other but that wasn't all.

She saw her father's features that had been changed like the ones she had come across in the hall and upstairs. Nerves stood out near his eyes like roots that were spread out. His eyes were black with not an inch of white or red in there and her mother stood there that made her stagger. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes filling up in tears as she looked at them. Though her mother stood there, her head was missing as it was held in her father's hand.

Her breath started to fall short again, her mind not able to make sense if this was a cruel dream being played in front of her. Drops of blood fell down the open wound which was being soaked into the carpet. When the rest of her mother's body collapsed to fall down, Belle parted her lips and at the same time, her eyes were covered in the darkness where she could see nothing.

Lucas who had killed almost all the corrupted vampires including the one who was behind it had come looking for Belle to notice her standing at the door of the drawing-room. It was something she should have not seen but she had seen and he could tell just by her posture that Belle was in shock. He covered her eyes before she could see anything more and gruesome as the corrupted vampire in front of him who was still alive dropped the head down on the floor to raise his feet and squash the head by his leg.

He pulled Belle to the side, having her back touching the wall where she was staring into space unable to fathom what just happened, "Stay here and do not turn."

When Lucas entered the room, the sound of his footsteps appeared to be high as it was picked by Mr. Adams right away as he had been corrupted.

At the same time, Lucas could sense the number of reapers who had arrived at the scene to pick up the souls of the people who had passed away. The reapers were appearing one after another and he focussed back on Mr. Adams. When the corrupted vampire came at him, Lucas used his hand to pull out the man's heart, his hand covered in blood from the gloves he wore to his arm. Giving a quick death so that it wouldn't hurt and the man fell dead.
