Belle Adams' Butler 228 Craving life- Part 1

Her parents were dead and the way they had died she should have added it up, but to think that the spirits that belonged to the land of the dead had consumed her parent's soul, taking their form to live in the land of the living didn't feel right. The little part that was left of her parents was now gone. 

"We have someone else in the mansion who came to meet you," she let him know to have him raise his brows in question, "It is the same councilman who had visited when both my parents died. He said they have found a similarity between Olivia and another woman's death that points at you being involved in it. Who is Susan?" asked Belle. 

"Someone who needed to die," came the quick answer. Belle could tell that Lucas felt little to no remorse when it came to killing people left and right. She didn't know who Susan was and what exactly Lucas was up to when he wasn't around her, "Where is the councilman?" he asked, starting to walk.

"In the study room. Barron locked him there and I told him the door is jammed," explained Belle.

"Is he a human?" asked Lucas and Belle realized how a vampire could break the door with little to no effort. Great, thought Belle to herself. 

They then suddenly heard a scream from the kitchen that had both of them run towards the kitchen to see her mother who had stood up from the chair and the maid named Peyton standing near the other side of the door that led to the servant's quarters. Though Barron had ordered the maids to be in the quarters and take the day off until told otherwise, she had heard the voices coming from the kitchen and one of the voices appeared to be a familiar one which wasn't Miss Belle's. 

After seeing Mrs. Adams sitting in the kitchen room, the maid had staggered back in shock. She raised her hand to cover her mouth after she had screamed. The lady had passed away and she had seen the body along with the rest of the people in the mansion on the horrid day. She didn't know if she was imagining things. The woman stared at her, placing the teacup on the table to say,

"Peyton, what are you screaming for?" asked the woman and the maid looked scared. 

The maid opened her mouth but no voice came out of her mouth and she was in a state of shock. Belle and Lucas appeared in the kitchen to look at the maid who had her back against the wall and her eyes wide in fear. 

"Go back to the servant's room," ordered Lucas, looking at Mrs. Adams' who turned around to have a look of disappointment on her face. 

"Why are you sending the maid away? Stand still," Mrs. Adams' countered to have the maid blink in shock, "I am the mistress of this mansion while you are a lowly butler. How dare you try to order the maid when I am still here?"

There was a certain agitation in her mother's voice and she knew well that this person who was in the room was no mother of hers, her mother was long gone and was consumed by this spirit. 

"Aren't I right, Belle? You don't know how to treat and order the butler which is why he's trying to behave like this in our presence," stated her mother. Staring at Lucas where she had a look of arrogance in her eyes. 

Belle stared at the person before she parted her lips to say, "Peyton, leave us and go back to the room." The maid was more than relieved by hearing this and if given the opportunity she would be ready to pack her bags and leave the mansion right away to never come back or speak about what she was seeing. 

Mrs. Adams wasn't pleased hearing her daughter defy her, "What's going on? Are you finally together with this lowly butler who is of no class? I thought I taught you better, Belle."

Lucas was still observing the spirit while Belle went to speak, "You taught me to be kind, and not to come back from the dead." Her mother smiled, a small laugh coming out from her lips. 

"What nonsense are you talking about? And what is with that tone you're using on me," the smile on Mrs. Adams' lips fell down. Things in the mansion were only getting worse as they heard the door crash. From the sound of it, it seemed that the councilman had broken the door.

"Miss Adams?" called Councilman Joshua from the other side. 

"I thought you said no one was here in the mansion," her mother glared at her right now and Belle had to tell herself that this person was not her mother but a spirit, "The butler is a bad influence on you. Making you lie, go against your mother-"

"My mother and father died months ago," interjected Belle.

"Don't you know it all," the woman sang. 

At the same time, the councilman arrived in the kitchen after hearing the voices, and upon seeing Belle, he said, "Miss Adams, what were you thinking trying to lock me in the room?" he appeared to be slightly angry. His eyes then fell on Lucas and he said, "Were you lying and trying to hide the butler from questioning?" he interrogated her where his eyes were yet to fall on the third person in the room. 

"She always lies. She's turned into an impudent child," came her mother's voice and when the councilman turned his head to look at the woman he frowned. 

"Who are you?" Joshua asked and then did Belle realize that the councilman might have not seen her mother's face when they had come to collect the body, as her face had been crushed. But the suspense didn't stay for long as the woman answered,

"I am her mother," smiled Mrs. Adams.
