Chapter 380 - My Bone!- Part 1
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Belle rubbed the back of her neck, stress getting into her mind, which was not possible considering how her body was made of only skeleton right now that had no flesh. She wished she knew where Barron was, maybe a locator spell? Asked Belle to herself, "Was he in the same room which we visited?" asked Belle to Greed.
"He was. His smell was potent in there," answered Greed.
"If a person is moved from one room to another, isn't it obvious that they would have removed the chains to untie it?" asked Belle, "But the chains were right there on the chair. This means Barron got out of it himself. Isn't it?"
Greed gave some thought over her words, and then gave her a nod, "It is possible. Do you think he already left this place? Impossible," huffed Greed, if it was true, he was going to hunt Barron down and gift him to the Hawverts personally for making him waste his time. Did they not tie him well enough that Barron got out of the chains effortlessly?
"What are we going to do now?" asked Belle, her eyes looking around the corridor where they stood.
"The assembly must have finished, we should go meet Lucas and see what to do from there. Splitting is not a great idea," tched Greed.
Barron who had, with great difficulty, got himself down a few floors, now was climbing back to the window where he had got out from. The wind continued to blow that made him almost slip. It was already hard enough, to make it worse, these flabby hands of his that were made of nothing but cotton kept slipping on the tiles. Maybe if there was more dust, it would be easier to get up, thought Barron to himself, changing his opinion who previously had complained about the dust and not caring about his rabbit suit.
The Fourth Grim reaper, who was in the stuffed rabbit moved up a couple of floors, trying to keep up with Belle who was being led by a reaper astray. Who was that reaper again? Some imbecile fool! Barron at first thought that it was Belle who had been kidnapped, but it seemed like she was here for him.
"I knew I could always count on you, Belle. The others are nothing but useless," said Barron, huffing slightly while moving his rabbit's hands and legs to push himself up. Climbing down had seemed tough earlier but moving up was tougher, thought the rabbit to itself.
Belle and Greed, on the other hand, were still discussing what to do when they heard voices of a couple of death reapers who arrived through the other side of the corridor, "The assembly has been dismissed," said Greed and Belle wondered if they should wait to search for Barron. But what if he had already got out and they were pointlessly standing in here searching for him when he wasn't here.
"AHHH!!!" Belle heard someone familiar scream and she first looked at Greed and then went to the source from where she heard the scream. Putting her head out, she noticed something white moving below her.
"Barron?!" exclaimed Belle, to see the rabbit who was hanging outside the tower.
"He's out there?" asked Greed, "Step aside so I can kick him from there."
Ignoring Greed, Belle caught Barron's hand to pull him up in her hands and inside. So that the other death reapers would not see the stuffed rabbit in her hand, she turned her back against them and placed him down. Barron after being put down on the ground, to take shelter behind Belle who was wearing death robes. The rabbit busy dusting himself off the dust that had got stuck on his fur.
Greed asked,
"What were you doing outside? Why are you doing here instead of returning home?"
Barron looked up, staring at the lowly death reaper who had dared question him, "Do I know you?" asked the rabbit. Before Greed could catch hold of him, Barron quickly moved, "Oh, it's you Greedy. What are you doing here?"
Belle looked around them to see the number of death reapers were starting to crowd as if they were getting back to their work. The Hawverts would be free and Winston and the others would find out Barron was missing, "Greed," Belle turned to look at Greed, "Find out where Lucas is right now." Even though she couldn't use the forbidden magic in here because of the tower restrictions, it didn't mean bonds wouldn't work here. Greed shared a master and servant's bond with Lucas while she was connected through souls.
"Fourth floor," answered Greed within a heartbeat. Was he keeping track since the beginning? Greed's adoration and admiration went too deep when it came to Lucas.
At the same time, they heard a couple of whispers that came from the death reapers who were speaking to each other, "Who do you think will catch the second Grim?"
"What about the first?" Belle had to move her head closer to be able to make out what exactly they were speaking about. The voices of the death reapers were scratchy and hoarse.
"I heard the bell ring that Barron was caught."
"That is not possible," hissed another reaper, "If he was, Crane would have mentioned him in the assembly. There was no mention of the Grim reapers being caught. We have double bounty now. I will be going to search for the Grims."
Double what? Asked Belle in her head, her head moving slowly and she was glad that the death reapers didn't have facial muscles or skin, else one would have seen her eyes following them. All she had now was a hollow socket because of her skull. She noticed how Greed looked at Belle as if he had figured out and she did too, but the other Grim reaper was still busy dusting his body off the dust.
Oh Barron, thought Belle to herself.
