Barron was more than happy to be getting some air after being locked for a few minutes in the room with Winston before the Hawvert left the room. Now hanging outside the tower, up in the air, Barron made sure he placed his feet properly without slipping and falling down. He didn't know about others but he was sure to repeat it to Belle on what happened here in the land of the dead. Saying how easily he got out without being sent to oblivion.
Even Lucas's former self Guilt had not been spared this easily. Barron could only tell how lucky he was, compared to the others. Trying to avoid the windows, he continued to move down the tower one step after another.
"I should get shoes to this fellow," said Barron, speaking about Mr. Fluffs as his feet kept slipping in the smoother surface of the outer building which was made of tiles, "I should ask them to clean this place. The amount of dirt," complained Barron to no one in particular. As he continued to go down, his feet got stuck on something sharp and he spent his time in trying to free his leg, "You evil little thing!"
He wondered what he should do once he would get down. Obviously the other lowly death reapers would be right on his tail. Literally on his tail, thought Barron to himself before using his other hand to touch his tail to make sure it still existed, "Damn hellhound thinking it was something to bite on," cursed Barron.
First, he would need to leave this tower first undetected. And then, he would go back to the Adams' mansion which was in this land. Belle had called for help, he would do the same. Easy peasy, said Barron to himself. Finally, after getting his feet free, he started to climb down.
Back inside the tower, Belle and Greed were making their way to where Barron was. Half running and half walking,
"Do they often hold meetings in here?" Belle asked him.
"Only when there's something urgent. An order to be placed. Catch fallen Grims perhaps?" said Greed.
"Another Hawvert was summoned when Lucas and I left the forest," whispered Belle, her head moving left and right, catching one of the death reaper carrying a stack of parchments in its hands, to cross from one room to another. So strange, thought Belle to herself, "What do those documents have?"
"Who knows," answered Greed in a nonchalant voice, "Maybe Barron's death that is coming soon once we find him in the above floors," he added.
"Poor thing must be scared," said Belle, worried on what must have happened in the meantime since he had been taken from the land of the living, "You should not be harsh towards him," he was the youngest Grim, therefore, Belle often didn't take in his childish remark seriously.
"He is annoying. I still don't know why I am here helping him when I have a bounty on my head too," Greed shook his head for his head to creak.
"I think you need to oil your joints," commented Belle and Greed turned to look at her. Belle only stared back. She wondered, if he was in his mortal form he would be glaring at her right now.
They passed through many corridors, and whilst they walked Belle felt something tingle on her skin. Why was her skin tingling right now? And her eyes suddenly turned wide when she saw her skin was back and she turned around quickly when she noticed another death reaper coming from the other side of the corridor.
"Oh my God!" Belle started to freak out.
"Do not use God's name!" Greed hissed and then noticed Belle had stopped walking, "We don't have time to be standing here. The meeting will get over and we will have death reapers swarming us."
"My mortal form is back!" she hissed back at him.
"Do something about it!" Greed said, his skeleton boney hand moved to touch the back of his neck which was nothing but bones, "I thought it was permanent, what happened to it."
Belle stopped looking at her hands and lifted her head, "I don't know. Let's go and check with Winston if he has an answer for it," she rolled her eyes. She was as new as him when it came to the bone. Even Lucas was not here and they would have to figure out by themself.
"The worst case is Barron and I will be sent to oblivion and you-" he stopped talking when the one of the death reapers came to pass by them. He then continued, "You will be a haunting soul in the dead without a pass."
"I left an extra coin for Rower in his boat. I should get a free ride," replied Belle. While Belle and Greed were talking, in the corner near a window a white soft cotton leg made an appearance as if it was hanging there.
Barron continued to walk down the tower, when this time, it was his hand that got stuck, "You must be kidding! How stingy were the Hawverts to not fix something and not even give me enough pay when I worked here."
He continued to tug on his hand when he finally was free. He wondered how shocked Winston would be when he would find an empty chair and room. Thinking about it, the rabbit cackled to itself. Barron was only getting down when he caught sight of two death reapers. Strangely he felt he knew the one who was facing him. Why did it look similar? Asked Barron to himself.
Not caring why, he started to climb down when the other reaper turned around and Barron screamed, "BELLLEEEE!"
What was she doing here in the death robes? Did something happen when he was not in the Adams' mansion?
"A peace of truce perhaps?" asked Barron to himself.
He moved closer and moved his hands while still calling Belle's name but the people inside could not hear him, screaming his cotton lungs out, "BELLE!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME??!"
