Belle Adams' Butler

Chapter 195 - The Witchy Vampiress- Part 3

Belle\'s body froze and so did Barron\'s, realizing what he did. His sneeze was loud enough for the Sixth Card of the Grims to turn and look at Barron who had moved aside after sneezing. Behind the rabbit was a person that had Greed\'s eyes turn wide.

"Impossible," murmured Greed. To see the girl alive when he had killed her, there was no way she could come back to life, "Looks like I will be hunting someone and sending them back to grave," Greed who was happy previously now looked angry, controlling his anger as he turned to look at Lucas with a look that gave away that Lucas had betrayed him once again.

"Is she the same person? Evelyn was it?" asked Greed.

"This is Belle. Belle Adams," Lucas replied to Greed\'s burning question who looked shocked and unhappy.

"I thought you wanted to patch things up between us," said Greed, his eyebrows frowning together, "You are with her, aren\'t you?" Greed turned his head to look at Belle who had not raised her head up as she was reading the book in her hands, "Who cares if she is a different person. Anyone who looks like her needs to be dead and under the ground."

When Greed moved from the bed, Barron was the first one to take a step but he didn\'t pull out his scythe.

"Who is this little rabbit? You have been taming animals? Pick an alive one if you want," commented Greed that had the nerve in Barron\'s head pop up.

"Belle, hurry up!" Barron didn\'t want to be eaten alive here.

As Greed stepped down and went to walk towards Belle, Lucas was quick to come in front of him. Both the reapers stared into each other\'s eyes, "You might have killed her once, what makes you think you can touch her in my presence," asked Lucas.

Greed gave out a troubled look, "Why do you like to test and make me angry?" asked the Sixth Grim, "You don\'t need anyone, and there\'s no one to tell you that you don\'t need a weakling next to you."

Barron who was previously standing in front of Belle quickly moved away and instead stood behind her for protection. This Grim was going to kill Belle and him first before dealing with Lucas.

Belle, on the other hand, ran her hands over the notes, some that were scribbled and some that were neat.

Lucas said, "We are Grims, Greed, and not regular reapers. Emotions are part of us and there\'s no rule that we are not allowed to pick companions."

"I know that," answered Greed, "The Hawverts speak bullshit but I know you are better than that. Keeping her next to you is going to bring you down," and when Greed went to turn and pulled out his scythe, ready to kill the girl, Lucas used his own to stop before the other reaper could even touch the air around her.

"Don\'t even think about it," warned Lucas but Greed didn\'t listen and went at her to be pulled and thrown across the room. Lucas pulled the scythe to place it on his shoulder, "I am not the same person you thought I was, Greed. I don\'t follow the rules anymore. I break them as I wish," he said to the other reaper. In the past, Guilt was someone who followed the rules without breaking any of them.

"This is what I am talking about," said Greed, "You lost your way on what Grims do but nothing to worry. I will bring you back where you originally belong to."

"This reaper is crazy," Barron thought out loud before seeing Belle who had pushed the books away from her and placed her hands on the ground and he saw a wave of steam that rippled from the ground.?A shadow-like ink moved up to the wall before moving to the ceiling and Lucas who noticed the formation of markings that appeared up, the lines getting drawn by itself, he took two steps away from there.

Greed raised his hand ready to suck out the abilities but by then, Belle had already completed the circle of markings and lines that dropped all his abilities.

"What the fuck…" Greed looked confused and when Lucas smiled looking up at the ceiling, Greed\'s eyes followed the direction where Lucas was looking at and he grit his teeth, "You little bitch," this was directed to Belle who had stood up, walking to stand next to Lucas.

"With this, you won\'t be able to do anything," she said to him, seeing how angry he looked just by looking at her. Somewhere Belle felt like Greed wanted to be closer to Lucas and didn\'t like anyone else taking away the attention.

Barron finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew! That was close. Not that he\'s jailed in that thing," Barron cleared his throat to say, "Welcome to the Adams\' mansion where we are collecting Grims."

"You cannot keep me here forever. I will break out and I will come for you first, you little mortal," said Greed, his voice hard as he looked at Belle, "That he will save you? You think your little witchery is going to help you?"

Belle nodded her head, "It will. We are not the same people we used to be Greed. This time...I will put up a fight and not let you kill me," she replied to him before leaving the room.

The brave Barron was quick to follow Belle, to see Belle lean against the wall once they had stepped out of the room, "Are you alright?" asked Barron.

"I think using abilities draws out a lot more soul energy," she said, releasing a sigh of air through her lips. As Barron said, it seemed like they were collecting Grim reapers.

After a minute, Lucas stepped out to have Belle look up at him. There was a smile on his face and he pulled her for a hug, and she hugged back after the exhausting hour they had spent, "You did well," praised Lucas.
