Chapter 337 - Wrath- Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Seeing Barron walk through the door, Greed stared at the door while Lucas walked towards Belle who was still sleeping, "Are you not going to stop him?" ask Greed.
"He will come back," replied Lucas and as expected, Barron was back in the room.
"Am I the only one worried? Wrath is the scariest one out of all the Grims because of his no-nonsense attitude who doesn't know how to joke," said Barron raising both his hands, "What if Crane said it to trick you?"
"It is a surprise if he's really the next fallen Grim," came Greed's lazy voice, "What do you think made him leave the land of the dead? It might be the reason why Crane came down. After all, two of the original Grims have fallen, and the other two are neutral. Edith and Rower won't open their mouths. It does put the Hawverts in a disadvantageous position."
"I don't think Crane would do that. It is Winston who likes to play tricks like those and we all know how Wrath doesn't favour either of them," answered Lucas. Like the other two Grim reapers, Lucas was curious to know the reason why Wrath had turned to a fallen Grim. He still remembered the day when the second Grim had shown up in front of the carriage that was stationed outside the church. Wrath had stood there, unmoving as Belle had passed right through him.
Belle finally moved, her consciousness returning back to her. When she tried to wake up, Lucas helped her up, "My head feels heavy," she said pressing her temples.
"You slept for two days," replied Lucas. He brought his hand to place it under her chin and looked into her eyes.
Belle was still trying to get the sleep out of her body when she saw Lucas staring into her eyes with worry, "Is my body corrupting?" she asked.
"We'll need to ask the ghoul to check it," and she nodded her head. Since the time she had met George, she had been worried that her heart was possibly corrupting. A vampire's heart didn't necessarily need to be corrupted because of the spit grass being taken in but it was also possible to corrupt because of emotions.
But after hearing from Rower about the previous stars, she was more worried of what was going to happen to her, "How much can you believe the words that come from Rower?" she asked Lucas.
Lucas cocked his head, "What did he say?"
"Vivian, Penny and I are not the first stars. There were three before us and one of them happened to be Ophelia. The girl Barron knew," said Belle, her voice quiet but audible to the three Grims who were in the room.
"Ophelia?" asked Barron in surprise and Belle nodded her head.
"Rower said Ophelia and the others were not informed like how we know. Before their time arrived, they were killed which was possibly because of one of the rituals that needed to be completed by the black witches to open the portal as the plan of the black witches has been in motion for a long time now," explained Belle, "Ophelia was like Vivian, a pureblooded vampire, and Hector was like Penelope, a white witch."
"Why does the name sound familiar?" asked Greed.
"Hector was the creature who accompanied me to the ruined mansion," Belle reminded them, "Even though I saw him tap into forbidden magic, I don't think he remembers who he was in his past life," all the creature thought was food.
"It wouldn't be a surprise," sighed Lucas, "Souls left on their own in the land of the dead, some remember with vengeance like Portia and some forget in time. Memories often get erased and turn to be part of the dead. What about you?"
Belle shook her head, "Rower said he doesn't know," she wished she knew whose legacy of responsibilities she was carrying forward, to know more about the person.
Greed who was listening to this said, "I know the answer for it," and everyone's attention turned to him, "Winston was the one who got the first stars killed. He changed the time and had other reapers come for the stars to take their soul before any person could let them know."
"I am glad that he's telling us now and not when the Hawverts catches us," came the sarcastic comment from Barron.
"Tell us more," said Lucas and Greed was more than happy to answer to the Grim reaper who he looked up to.
"Since from the time of the black witches who have been working to unbind the black magic, Winston has been involved. He killed everyone before their time. I don't think he knew that there will be new or the same set of stars reborn again," explained Greed, "It was the same time when you as Guilt met her," he tipped his chin in Belle's direction, "One was a pureblooded vampire, one was a witch, and another was a witch too."
Lucas wondered how he had missed this. He doubted Isabell even knew about the existence of those three stars who were probably killed before they came to her notice.
"Ophelia, Hector and Evelyn," concluded Greed. Silence filled the room where they could hear the blizzard from outside, "That is why you won't find the third person in the land of the dead because the person is in here," he said, his eyes on Belle.
"And Winston told you this?" questioned Lucas, his eyes trained on Greed.
"He didn't but I found out. I was working for him until some time ago. Two of the reapers were sent to pick up the souls and when I found out that the next person was the person you liked, I took the initiative to pull out her soul myself," answered Greed, "But I don't think anyone would have guessed that you shared an irreversible bond that she could not be killed to only be brought back after years."
