Belle moved towards the grave and placed her hand on the wooden cross that was pushed to the ground. She tried to find the reason for his death but there was nothing in there. At least it was now known that there was nothing about Guivenver when it came to death but she was curious about his memories.

Was there a possibility that the man hadn't told his son or his grandson what he saw or knew about the mansion. The ability she has was only respected to death and nothing more than that. From far away, Belle and the other two heard the sound of a bird crying out that echoed through the forest.

"Is that an eagle?" Belle asked and then looked at Barron and Lucas who was still looking in the direction of where the sound had come from.

"That's no eagle," said Barron, a little worry in his voice, "Do you think it is what I think it is?"

"We are being hunted," Lucas said, hearing a clear howl this time and he caught hold of Belle's hand and grabbed the rabbit to disappear from there in a blink of an eye to return back near the carriage without much suspicion. Belle blinked her eyes, not able to comprehend what just happened, as one minute she was in the forest and the next minute they were standing behind the carriage.

"What just happened?" Belle asked looking back and forth.

"We were supposed to get back to the mansion! What are we doing here taking the slowest transport!" Barron threw the tantrum.

The coachman who heard the voice of Miss Belle got down from the carriage seat and found both the lady as well as the butler who had returned back. To his confusion, they had gone through the front direction but they had returned back from behind.

Lucas pushed the rabbit in the bag, "Miss Belle is done with her work. We'll be leaving now," he informed the coachman. At the same time, Belle heard the sound of the wolf-like howling that raised the hair at the back of her neck. It didn't feel it was one but there was at least a series of howls going on that meant there was at least more than three to four of them.

The coachman pulled out the door of the carriage and Belle couldn't help but look at Lucas who said, "Get in," he placed his hand over her small back and Belle got inside. When the coachman started to ride the carriage, she could still hear the sound of the hellhounds and Barron finally tore away from sitting in the bag to jump on Lucas' lap.

"What the heck do you think you are doing?! We are going to be fucking followed by the hell hounds and they are getting near!" Barron said looking at Lucas.

"They will be confused and will walk around the village first before coming at us," Lucas answered Barron but the rabbit didn't stay quiet.

"We are going to be caught! These are no wolves or dogs, these are the damn fucking hellhounds. The problem is they want me!" and it was because Lucas' scent had disappeared and forgotten with the number of years that he had spent here in the land of the living. Barron was the newest rogue in the list which made it easier to hunt him down.

"They cannot resist a good rabbit for a meal," Lucas said and Barron climbed on Lucas further to have his face pushed against Lucas' face.

"Release me or have us disappear!"

Belle didn't know Lucas had the ability to apparate from one place to another. There were times when she doubted how he arrived so quickly in front of her but she would have never guessed that he carried abilities as such as this.

"Leaving right away would put the coachman under danger. We already lost a coachman a few days ago, we can't lose another one," but Barron didn't care about it! He didn' mind being selfish as his soul mattered more than the coachman.

"What do you plan to do?" asked Belle to Lucas.

Lucas leaned out of the window and noticed a carriage that was heading in their direction. He knocked on the window and said, "Stop the carriage here," and he had them get down, "Miss Belle plans to spend some time alone and I will be here to accompany her. You can take the carriage that is coming here and get back to the mansion."

The coachman looked genuinely confused. Belle opened her purse to pull out some coins and she handed it to the man so that he could use it for the fare of using the local carriage. With him gone, Lucas then said,

"We need to burn the carriage to rid the scent. By the time the hell hounds come for him, he would have mixed scents with the other passengers.

They drove towards an empty land and got down from the carriage, walking far away and Belle saw how Lucas raised his hand for the lightning that was up in the sky to strike down to the carriage that resulted in the fire.

And the problem was solved just like that.

"How is it that the hellhounds don't come here?" asked Belle once they got back home safe and away from the dogs that had come hunting Barron.

"I had Isabell help me set the grounds here with the forbidden magic along with me to make sure no one would ever come to know about my whereabouts," said Lucas making her blood tea and handing it over to her.

Belle could only imagine how important both Lucas and Barron was that they were being hunted down by the others now. One day there would come a time where things would break down and they would need to either fight or kill the people who had framed Lucas.

"You met the man's grandson and went to the grave. What do you plan to do?" asked Lucas, letting her free so that she could walk her own path and decide herself.

Belle gave it some thought before saying, "I will start from those dark corridors. Something should come up."
