"WHAT IN SATAN'S NA-"

Belle quickly jumped over to cover Barron's mouth from speaking anything before someone would hear him shouting loudly, "You need to keep quiet, Barron. Do you know what quiet means?" she asked the rabbit who nodded his head and she let go of his mouth.

When Lucas had asked her to go and get them before the tall Grim would, Belle had run straight out of the house, turning around to make to the window of the room.

When Belle had made to the room, where Barron was, she didn't even want to know what the two of them were doing as Barron appeared to pumping Hector's chest.

"Do it right!" Barron whisper yelled at Hector and Hector gave him a look.

With the window locked from inside, Belle knocked on the glass pane to get the attention of the rabbit. But Barron was so involved in whatever he was doing, she knocked further loud until she placed her hand for the glass to freeze and break.

"AHH!" Barron gave a look of shock, "Belle?"

"What are you doing?" Belle asked with a confused look on her face.

Barron opened his mouth to only close and then asked, "What are you doing there?"

"We have Edgar and Moore in the mansion. Get out of the room right now!" Belle urged him to step out through the window.

"Why? We are safe in this room," Barron stepped down from Hector who was lying on his back on the floor.

Belle's eyes darted at the door and then at Barron, "The tall guy is on his way."

"Moore?!"

"Oh come on, Barron. Get out of the room right now," said Belle. If Barron had created a bond, this wouldn't have happened but they also had a mighoul in the house. His smell was fresh in the wind.

Barron pulled Hector first up, having him pass through the window first and then Barron got down to stumble flat on the fluff of snow, "Quick! Quick! Why would you invite people you don't know?!" questioned the rabbit, hopping with its legs back and forth, "Wait what is that shiny thing on your finger?"

In an effort to take Barron and Hector out of the room, Belle had broken the window and she had to get it back up before Moore would enter the room, "Wish me luck," she muttered under her breath and then touched both her hands together before bringing her hand forward for the shards of the glass that belonged to the window to move up and start to build on one after another.

"You know, Belle. If we ever need money, we can turn you to be a magician," Barron said, his eyes turning to Hector who had started to walk towards the plants and Barron had to hold on to the mighoul's leg, "Where do you think you are going!?!"

"Food!" came Hector's word on seeing the red apples that looked enticing in the background of the snow that surrounded the orchard.

"NO!" came Barron's scream which was muffled with the windy blizzard that was going to start in the town and near the castle. Belle was working on the glass while Barron had a look of shock on his face, "You listen to me carefully. DO.NOT.TOUCH.APPLES. Okay?"

Belle could feel her hands shaking as she tried to get the glasses attached to one another, once the glasses were fixed, they were blur and broken with lines. Placing her hand on the delicate glass, she whispered something to have the glass turn clean as it made a cracking sound to give a new appearance.

She pulled both Hector and Barron to the backyard and got them back inside the mansion through the kitchen's door. Keeping them outside was dangerous, therefore she decided to put them where Baltimore was for the time being. At least that way, the ninth and eleventh Grim would not find Barron or Hector.

When she entered the kitchen with the two children of the land of the dead, she saw Lucas and heard him say, "Edgar is busy with his ice candy."

"I was thinking of taking Barron and Hector to be placed in the cell room."

"I ain't no prisoner lady!" said Barron with a shock.

Leaning forward, she whispered, "Also lower his voice," Barron had the habit of shouting.

"Okay," Lucas agreed and with one link of touch, the four of them ended up in the cell room where Baltimore was stuck in the cell, "Get inside the cell, Barron. Unless you want to be caught."

Barron placed both his hands on his waist, "I do not even see what is the differ-" Lucas didn't have time to hear Barron speaking and he picked up the stuffed rabbit to throw into one of the cells and Hector stepped into another cell.

"The protection that keeps you in the cell erases your scent unless you decide to step out," explained Belle, "This is only until they leave the mansion, Barron. You can be free again."

Barron went to shout, "This is so wrong!" but his voice didn't come out as he himself could not hear it. The rabbit then glared at Lucas who had raised his hand to snap him shut.

"For your own safety and ours," stated Lucas and once Belle was done with the marking, the couple disappeared from the room.

When Belle returned back with Lucas, holding each other's hands, Lucas said, "You are freezing," he put his hand around her.

"I am okay. Just nervous," she confessed, "I would have never expected to have a half house of Grims in the mansion." It was like the number kept adding and she could only hope that they were not going to house the two Grims.

"It will be fine," saying this, he kissed her temple.

The next hour, Lucas, Belle and Greed kept a close eye on the Edgar and Moore who were handed more desserts. While Belle had left Lucas' side for a moment, she was talking to a guest and returning when she crashed on to someone.

"My apologies," the man apologised while holding one of her arms so that she wouldn't fall. Belle stared at the man who walked back into the crowd and she felt a headache.

Under her breath, she whispered, 'We have another Grim.'
