"Fresh soul... Eat to live." The bony creature that had once been a human rasped as it stared at the struggling Belle while it pulled its own bony body out of the ground.
Many had lived in misery in the land of the dead and had no way of living again or going back to the life they had once known. Some remained dormant in the grounds where their body had been buried rather than wandered in a world that was a mirror of what the real world was.
The land of the dead was a place for many miserable souls who believed they had been denied life in the real world and would take any chance to return to it, though they had never gotten that opportunity.
But then not once had the scent of a soul that lives awakened them, because a living soul had never been able to venture into this land. Now the scent of it spread and every dead creature was out to get the soul to eat it and be able to live in the world they had once lived before.
