Belle who had turned to look at the sound she had heard from behind her looked at the trees that appeared to have leaves here unlike the last time she had seen the empty tree. She didn't know why but it felt like someone was sitting in the tree right now which was why the branch was still moving to only come to halt after a few seconds. 

"Barron, I think something is up there," said Belle to Barron but the rabbit was nowhere close to her as Barron had continuously walked and walked to only realize after a while that Belle wasn't with him. 

Looking back again, she noticed how she was all alone where she stood and she didn't know where Barron had gone. Belle noticed how the branches of the tree started to shake again and something slid down the tree to stand up which was not a reaper but it was a Mighoul that had used itself with a spirit. 

Often the creatures of the dark picked on the fresh souls that entered the realm of the dead in the hope they would get to live as before by going back to the land of the living. The Mighoul that stood in front of her didn't have robes and its hair that were combed back while flying in an upward side direction. 

The Mighoul started to run towards her and Belle started to run away from it, searching for Barron who she had no clue where he was. 

Belle searched for Barron while her feet carried herself by running in the quiet street and Barron who finally noticed Belle not with him went back to look for her. 

"Belle!" Barron shouted her name without being quiet, "Belle! Where did you go?" asked Barron who was the one who had drifted away without watching to see if Belle was following him while she had turned back to look at the tree. 

"Barron!" Belle took a turn by taking the alley, running past it she made her to the other street to see the small rabbit that was calling out her name, "Barron! I am here!" The rabbit, hearing Belle's voice turned around and sighed.

"There you are! I thought I lost you," said Barron walking back to Belle casually as he didn't know a mixed breed of Mighoul and spirit was behind him trying to get to him. 

"Behind you!" Belle shouted and Barron finally turned to see the Mighoul. 

Strangely, Barron slipped out of the rabbit where Mr. Fluffs fell slack on the ground and the Fourth Grim appeared who was a deformed reaper with sharp edges that appeared to be moving. 

Belle realized the first time she had met Barron when he had stood behind her housemaid, his red eyes that had no proper outline. The Mighoul who was about to get hold of the rabbit was confronted with the Grim reaper who pulled out his scythe from behind him, 

"Who do you think you were going to touch, you f.u.c.ker!" Barron ran his scythe against the Mighoul who cried out loudly like a banshee that had Belle cover her ears, "Oh...I forgot about its scream," said Barron in a scratchy voice and it looked at Belle, "We need to hurry!"


"How did you come out of the rabbit?"

"What?" asked the reaper as if it hadn't realized what just happened. That it was no more in the rabbit, "I am out of the rabbit! It must be because I am back in the land of the dead now. And then they heard the howls of the h.e.l.lhounds getting closer, "f.u.c.k, they are able to smell me better," he quickly slipped into the rabbit and started to run towards her. 

Belle didn't ask any question and started to run along with Barron until they came towards the house, "I smell Lucas here and others are able to smell him too." 

"My house," Belle murmured.

Before they could enter the mansion, they heard the loud cras.h.i.+ng sound from the windows where someone fell on the ground but before Lucas could get to the person, the person turned to smoke and disappeared from there. 

"Lucas!" Belle shouted his name and Lucas noticed Belle and Barron running towards him from the gates. Lucas took a closer look at Belle when she reached him, her eyebrows had drawn themselves together.

"Who was that?" Barron asked seeing the smoke disperse in the wind. 

"Someone unfamiliarity familiar," answered Lucas and they heard the h.e.l.lhounds barking and howling near the other side of the streets, "What are you doing here rabbit?"

"I am not a rabbit!" Barron bit back a response and tried to get out of the rabbit but strangely he couldn't get out like how he did, "f.u.c.k!"

"Time to leave," Lucas said with his head that was facing the streets and his eyes moving from left to right as if he was tracing something invisible that was catching to them. 

Belle who had last time only come to stand outside the mansion looked at the tattered mansion as if if years would pa.s.s by, this is how it would come to look when no one would be living here. Old. She remembered what Barron told her about the buildings in this world. More stories and events meant more battered appearance. 

"Belle," When Lucas called her, Belle noticed how Lucas's appearance had changed, leaving a part of his face with just bones and skeleton. He raised his bony hands for her to take and she placed it without a doubt in her heart. 

Lucas then raised his hand and snapped his fingers and in an instant, the portal to the land of the living opened for them. Barron hearing the barks near the gates quickly stepped inside and Lucas pulled Belle to pa.s.s through and end back in the land of the living, in Belle's room. 

Belle noticed Lucas looking at her keenly, "Are you alright?" he asked her and a sweet smile broke through her lips. 

"Better now that you are here," and Lucas smiled back. 

Barron broke the next silence by telling, "How much of dust gets stuck to this rabbit?! Ridiculous!" he looked at himself in the mirror by turning around to look at his back that had turned black.
