Belle had already shown signs of being a corrupted vampire but that had come only in bits and pieces until now which meant her heart hadn't corrupted itself completely. As the ghoul moved its bony skeleton fingers towards her chest, she felt a jolt of pain run down her entire body when the fingers dipped deep into her chest with not a single drop of blood that came out and when the ghoul held her heart, she could feel it.
She took in a deep and careful breath, staring at the ghoul that slowly let go of her heart and pulled out its fingers from her chest.
And the ghoul finally said, "Corrupted."
She felt her heart sink hearing this and Lucas who was standing next to Belle noticed the way Belle's face fell which meant her heart had corrupted.
"How far is she corrupted?" asked Lucas. He had pulled out his clock to notice how the time appeared normal when he pointed the clock towards Belle.
