Her eyebrows furrowed in concentration to see what was the shadow if it was the shadow of the leaves and the trees around which was making it look like there was someone who stood right behind her.
Belle's feet moved to the edge and Lucas who had caught her looking at him now saw her looking at the maid as if she had spotted something there. His own eyes went to look at the maid when he noticed what or who stood behind the maid.
Belle on the other hand noticed there was indeed someone hovering over the maid, like a shadow trying to mesh with her.
The shadow didn't have an identified face or a proper outline but it was somewhat light black in color that allowed one to see the background like there was nothing.
Without another thought, she jumped from her patio to land on the ground without much trouble. It had distinct red eyes that made her skin crawl uncomfortably. She started to walk towards the maid and called the girl,
"Marie!"
