Chapter 273 - Wandering Soul- Part 1
Belle didn't know why Lucas chose Greed to go with her, but she didn't question his judgent. Even Barron and Greed themselves looked confused that Lucas was sending Belle with Greed when Lucas wouldn't be there to protect her if the Sixth Grim were to decide to kill her off.
Before Barron could interrupt, Lucas looked at Belle and placed a hand on Barron to disappear from there.
"Looks like we are going to be spending more ti together," there was a sick smile on Greed's lips, his blue eyes looking down at her.
"Too bad that we have ghoul as the third wheel between us," Belle retorted back, her eyes holding barely any humour. She looked at the ghoul, "We should get going," and they left the cetery with the ghoul disappearing such that one could see only Greed and Belle walking out of the grave.
The council mbers who had co to the cetery had seen themselves out, but Councilman Joshua was stubborn enough not to leave the place. He had stayed back, waiting for the lady to walk out of the cetery. He noticed how only one of the servants followed her while her so-called cousin and her butler were nowhere to be seen walking with them.
Joshua hid behind the pillar, which was attached to the gates. He saw Miss Adams leave the cetery, and when they were gone, he quickly made his way inside the cetery to see what the butler and the boy were up to.
But when he reached the graves, there was no one there.
To say that their journey to the forest where the ghoul was waiting was peaceful was a far fetched word when Greed tried to poke at Belle. The Grim reaper despised the girl, the dislike he had for her was sothing that ran deep within his hollow bones.
"Don't you think it is difficult for a mortal to be with a person who is dead? I don't think any sane mortal would fantasize themselves being with a dead person," comnted Greed, "Do you think I am right, which is why you are not reacting to my words? Or have you turned deaf?"
Belle took a deep breath and then released it, "It is because I wish you would stop talking to and just walk."
"So you do agree that you are not a match for Lucas," chuckled Greed.
"That is none of your business now. What is between him and is none of your concern, so stop behaving like a jilted fiance of his," she responded to him.
Greed's lips twisted, "What concerns Guilt, concerns ." Belle looked up at the sky, tired spending ti with him while it made her question why Lucas paired them up to go together. Barron was the friendly reaper, not Greed, "Didn't it make you question why Lucas picked to go with you? One snap and I can kill you. Do you think he made a mistake?"
Belle turned her red eyes to look at Greed, "He didn't make a mistake. He put his trust in you, and it probably is your salvation in making ands with him than making it worse."
"Do you think I want to be in his good grace?" laughed Greed, "I am more than happy with him noticing . What better way than to kill the woman who is precious to him." From the corner of her eyes, she noticed how he pulled out the scythe as they entered the forest.
Belle stretched her fingers and hands one after another. If he was going to try attacking her, she would have to be prepared, but the Grim reaper knew better than to kill her when his soul was in trouble.
"Why did you save if you wanted out of the picture?" asked Belle, her eyes and body being cautious.
Greed smiled, "I want to kill you myself. It would be unfair if soone else took my kill."
Belle gave so thought over his words. Surrounded by the countless number of trees around them, and white ground that was filled up with snow, she said, "I have a proposal to make. You can kill only once."
"That would an I have already lost my chance. The worst proposal I have ever co across. No thanks," Greed's bright blue eyes looked at Belle.
She nodded to him, "The next ti you kill , that will be the last ti. You cannot kill after that."
"Don't take for a fool, for I know you will return back alive. I don't care if it's centuries, but I would like to kill you myself."
"Deal," Belle said, which had the Grim reaper confused, "But if soone kills first, you lose that credibility."
Greed stared at Belle, "You are smart. Deal."
When they finally reached the open space, Everest was waiting for them. There was a wide smoke like a circle that moved continuously, which was large as the ghoul's size. Greed stayed a few steps behind, and Belle started her spells, her hands clapping together before she pulled them back for the electric shocks to appear which were pushed towards the smoke like a circle. The passage looked nothing less to a cloud which held the lightning inside it.
By the ti Lucas had appeared along with Barron and the soul, Belle had turned the portal to be feasible for souls to be contained without it being corrupted. At least that is what she hoped.
Turning behind, she caught sight of a young woman with blonde hair that cascaded down her shoulders, but her front didn't look pretty. It was as if soone had carved open her body to leave only bones behind, in her chest cavity.
The soul smiled at her, her eyes dark red—a pureblooded vampire.
The girl raised her hand forward for Belle, and Belle took her hand for a shake which was as cold as ice. "It is nice to et you," said the girl, a certain cheerfulness in her voice even with the state she was in, "I am Charlotte."
