Chapter 270 - Time Ticks- Part 1

Belle stared at the headstone that was upside down on the grave. By what she remembered, Lucas and Barron had come to this cemetery when her parents had revisited as spirits so that they could see what was going on while also finding the other spirits who might have stepped into the land of the living from the dead.

Did they not realise that the headstone was placed in a way where a person had to tilt their head to read it, as the headstone was placed upside down.

Councilman Christophe turned to look at Belle for a possible explanation of why the headstone was placed upside down. Belle then said,

"My parents died in an unnatural death so one of the priestesses told me that I should place the names upside down."

"Isn\'t it considered to be an ill omen to be placing it like this though?" asked Councilman Christophe.

"That is because they dug the bodies out!" claimed Joshua! "Who even places the headstone like this? Not even the witches who are black or white."

"Do you know my parents better than I do?" asked Belle, slightly annoyed with Joshua and Councilman Christophe placed a hand on Joshua, and took the man to a side so that he could speak to him.

"Are you going to allow me to lead, or are you going to keep making a scene every few minutes?" asked Councilman Christophe.

"But-"

"Joshua," Councilman Christophe glared quietly in warning, "If you have asked for my help, I expect you to cooperate with me and not keep instigating the woman. Now please shut up," and they returned back to the place where Miss Adams stood with her hand folded at her front.

The other councilmen who had come along with Christophe and Joshua started to dig the ground one after another, using their shovel until they hit the surface of the coffin. Hearing the sound of the coffin being hit, Joshua could barely wait to see the coffin, which was a faux according to him.

He had seen Miss Belle Adams\' mother standing in the kitchen of the mansion, looking at him, the same woman, whose head had been crushed, leaving only the neck and the rest of the body to examine. The sight had been gory when he had come to pick up the body. He had gone as far as to claim that the death of Mr. and Mrs. Adams must be related to the butler.

The men pulled out the coffin of her mother and then her fathers. The first one to be opened was her father. The lid pulled out to show her father resting in there.

Belle, who had already met her father in his spirit form, hoped that was what she would remember of her father who didn\'t have a crazy look on his face the night he had killed her mother. That he was normal before striking and attacking Lucas. Belle turned to look away from the coffin, taking two steps away from there, and Lucas came to her side for comfort.

"There\'s the body in here, councilman Joshua," informed Councilman Christophe so that Joshua wouldn\'t be daydreaming during their time in the job.

"I didn\'t see her father. It was her mother," clarified Joshua and the other councilmen reached to open the lid of her mother\'s coffin to see the woman in there. Councilman Christophe gave a look of disappointment to Joshua, but Joshua shook his head, "She is slimy in texture. They must have put the woman back in the coffin after making-"

"Councilman Christophe," came Belle\'s voice that was crisp and angry, "I don\'t know what this man said but coming to my house with wrong allegations at my people, at me and having my parent\'s casket opened is not something that I am going to overlook. I don\'t know what you\'re trying to get to but this right now is something I don\'t want to relive with the gore memories." She looked visibly upset after seeing her mother\'s body that had no head on top of it.

Joshua was about to open his mouth but on Christophe\'s glare, he quickly closed his mouth, "We are extremely sorry that you had to see this again. My councilman happened to receive the wrong information and seems like he was confused. I think with this we have cleared our doubts."

Belle nodded at him without meeting his eyes. While the coffins were being buried back, and the mud was pushed back in, one of the councilmen who was holding the shovel asked,

"What about the headstone?" his eyes darting from the lady to his superior.

Belle took this opportunity to say, "You can leave it upright. I wouldn\'t want the next councilman to come and point out his or her finger at me that I am involved in illegal activity," saying this, her eyes moved to the two councilmen.

Barron who was standing there could feel a sigh of relief escape his lips as the matter had been almost solved, but that didn\'t mean Lucas had stopped glaring down at him. It seemed like the twelfth Grim reaper was as upset as Belle.

He didn\'t even know how the thought had escaped his mind about the headstone. It was all George and Greed\'s fault, thought Barron to himself, putting the blame on them and not taking responsibility.

When everything was put in place, Councilman Christophe turned to Belle and bowed his head, "I will have the report sent back about what I acquired and what I saw. Also, please excuse my colleague\'s behaviour. He has this trauma where he keeps seeing ghosts," said the man and this had Belle\'s attention, her eyes moving to look at Joshua, who was glaring daggers at her.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Belle with a frown on her face.

"Even when he was having the council exam going on, he claimed to have seen a ghost, but the other examinee saw nothing of that sort," answered the man before bowing his head again and taking his leave with the rest of the council members who had come to the cemetery.
