Chapter 345 - Guests In Town- Part 3
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Barron was the most relaxed even though he had dropped the apple when he had heard about the two Grim reapers in the town near the Adams mansion. But it seemed like since he heard it was the Grims who were the gatekeepers, he started to walk away from them like nothing was going to happen.
"Where are you going, Barron?" asked Belle because neither Lucas nor Greed happened to question him.
Barron who was sauntering towards the main door turned around to reply to Belle, "To get more apples," he answered like it was an obvious thing to do. The last time when they mentioned Wrath, Barron had been in a shock. The rabbit left, for Belle to turn and look at the other two Grims who were with her.
"What was that?" asked Belle, was she not supposed to worry about the two new Grims? Were they harmless?
"I am guessing Barron is not scared about the ninth and eleventh Grim of cards. Gatekeepers often don't involve themselves in fights unless someone is trying to pass through from one realm to another. Moving from the land of the living or from the dead," explained Lucas. "It is possible that Barron has either spent too much time with the Grims or he hasn't spent any time with them which is why he's relaxed."
"I don't think we should be relaxed. They won't wait but knock you back to the dead without a question," chipped Greed, "Everyone's scythe in the card of Grims gives out different abilities. If Lucas is able to send a soul or a reaper to a neverland by destroying their very being, all the gatekeepers will have to do is touch the scythe and you will have an instant visit to the land of the dead."
That didn't sound good at all, thought Belle to herself. It was one thing to be dragged by a reaper and another to directly be allowed to knock the soul and send it to the land of the dead.
Lucas then added, "The gatekeepers aren't too different compared to the other reapers. The only problem here is that reapers take you to Rower to pass on through the gate while the gatekeepers will send you to the land of the dead to wander around," that sounded like the time when Portia had killed her in the forest.
"What are we going to do then? They were there to meet Edith. They must have come to find more information about you guys," said Belle.
"Did they find out who you are? Your name?" asked Lucas for Belle to shake her head, "If they are going to stay back in this town, I don't see why not we invite them with Edith."
Greed for once blinked his eyes, "You want to have three more Grims under the same roof?"
"I wasn't kidding when I said we were going to behave like everyone else in this town. Hosting soiree, create some drama along with gossip. We should be good after that," stated Lucas, his hand going to wound around Belle's waist unconsciously before he pulled her and kissed her on her temple.
Belle didn't know how things would be normal with them in the mansion and Baltimore who was still locked in the above floor. There were times when Belle forgot that he existed until someone brought up about him in a conversation which happened rarely.
"How was your class?" asked Lucas, his attention leaving about the subject of Grims and moving to Belle, "Did the class start?"
"No. We were still waiting for Edith to arrive," Lucas raised his brows before giving her a nod, "But the rest of the time went well," a grin appeared on her lips.
"Let me know if someone misbehaves with you," he said and Belle knew what that meant. If Belle didn't know about the other side of the living, the land of the dead, she would have been appalled by the thought of killing someone. But now that she was a person who had died and come back, she thought it would be fun to send a soul there for a short visit. Just enough to scare them.
Belle helped Lucas with the invitations, writing down the names, on who to be invited and who to not who would cause trouble. It was strange, thought Belle to herself. On how her parents had died and her relatives didn't care enough to come to visit her.
When her parents had died, her relatives had surrounded her like vultures waiting to occupy the mansion. She questioned if they visited her parents grave after the burial. The invitations for the night soiree were sent out the next day which was going to be held a week from now.
Before the day of the soiree arrived, one of the noons, Belle had felt a slight ache in her chest, making her worry if her heart was corrupting. She placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart beating. Deciding to get some rest, Belle got on the bed and fell asleep.
Though Belle didn't travel to the land of the dead, it didn't stop her from having a dream-like she was witnessing something from a far distance. There was snow everywhere and she was in a forest. Her eyes roaming around back and forth, wondering where she was, as it felt less dream-like.
She then saw two people who were on the ground, sitting not too far from where she was. Her eyebrows furrowing deeply as she knew them and then her eyes widened. She took one step back and then another before stepping on a stone that made her fall back.
Instead of falling on snow, Belle's eyes snapped open to see that she had returned back to her room.
Quickly getting out of the room, Belle ran to Lucas who was standing in the garden with Barron. Reaching them she said to Lucas, "I think it is time! I think she's going to die!"
