Jakub and Emily were finally face to face. The two reapers sent by Elena have come together. Jakub has no idea of the situation around him, he just knows he was sent to help Emily.
"You are right? You are a reaper?" Emily asked as she was stepping back from Jakub.
"Yes I am, but I was sent here by Elena to assist you. My name is Jakub Velk. She told me that you were going through hell over here."
Emily felt relieved that Elena actually sent help and that it was so soon after telling Emily that she would.
"Thank goodness… I'm Emily Herth and I honestly wouldn't call it hell. Yes I'm being chased by a doctor reaper and yeah I thought my powers were lame. Even so, I was kind of just being a Debbie downer."
"BUT ANYWAYS WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO CHAT HE SHOULD BE RIGHT BEHI-" Emily was shouting and then was interrupted by the doctor bursting through the door.
"You will not get aw- wait who is this guy?" Dr.Tress questioned them both.
"He's another reaper, I can sense it. Another hearted reaper. Two hearted reapers in the same place when I've been here for years and have never encountered a reaper with a heart. Just who the hell are you."
"This guy really likes talking and just rambling on huh?" Jakub asked Emily.
"Yeah actually… he kept talking even while trying to kill me and a friend." She replied.
Jakub stood facing Tress as his Grim continued to flow around his body. He could feel the heightened reflexes and speed he has gained because of it. Looking toward Emily he finally noticed her hands were still glowing green. Why hadn't he noticed this when he grabbed her to help her from falling, he thought.
"Hey! Why are your hands glowing?" He asked Emily intently.
Emily looked down at them and also just realized they still were glowing.
"I think I borrowed my friend's ability earlier. It's from something called soul mana. I'll have to explain it later."
Doctor Tress impatiently spoke, "You guys remember I'm still here right? So prepare to fight to the death."
Emily and Jakub came closer together to speak so that only they could hear one another. Emily informed him of his abilities, the fact that he could teleport and she didn't know it's limitations. Also he threw a scythe made of bone and that she believed he was an Indigo soul type that was able to alter his bones.
"Yeah I have no idea what that means." Jakub responded to everything Emily informed him of.
Tress teleported forward toward them and a bone came out of his hand taking the form of a long dagger. He swung the dagger toward Emily as Jakub's reaction pushed her away. They managed to evade him and both backed up a little bit.
"It seems like he can't continuously teleport. Or else he would be all over us this whole time." Jakub said as the two backed up.
"Okay, I'll try and count how long before he does again after the next time he uses it. Stay close because my Grim isn't with me right now. I'll need you to protect me."
Jakub nodded in agreement and just as he did Dr.Tress teleported toward in between them pushing them apart. As he pushed Emily to the ground opposite of Jakub. Jakub saw the opportunity to kick the dagger out of his hand. Emily began counting to figure out the timing of his teleport.
1
Tress stood in the middle deciding which of the two to go after first.
2
He laughed because he figured he would at least be able to take one.
3
"You two are weak and have no idea the power of a reaper. Especially the ones who do not care what happens.
4
"Now girl… you die." Tress said just before teleporting and standing over Emily.
"Four seconds!" Emily screamed at Jakub.
Tress reached for her throat with his left hand. As he was choking her she placed her left hand along her side, using the Soul ability she had from Nicole to keep her throat from being crushed.
"You don't want to die, huh?" Tress spoke as he had a blade of bone reaching from the palm of his hand toward Emily's throat.
Jakub noticed the bone dagger had landed next to him on the ground, he got up and kicked the dagger over toward Emily's right side.
Emily noticed the dagger from the corner of her eye and struggled to reach for it. She finally got her hand on it and clenched the dagger in her hand.
Jakub sprinted and jumped covering Tress's eyes. 4! Do it Emily!
Emily plunged the dagger into Dr.Tress's neck and his body instantly incinerated and turned to ash. The dagger turned to ash in Emily's hands.
The two of them dropped flat on their backs and sighed very deeply.
"Why did you cover his eyes?" Emily asked Jakub while breathing heavily.
"I saw a comic one time where the character was only able to teleport where they could see. So I wondered if that was true for him." Jakub said laughing.
"So you did that on a whim?" Emily said staring daggers at him.
"Hehe yeah kind of." Jakub replied.
Nicole burst through the doors with her father Vikto behind her. The barrier was still around Nicole but as she arrived the Grim jumped off and ran over to Emily who was laying on the ground. The Grim sat on her chest laid down and then disappeared. Nicole stood staring at Jakub and Emily laying on the ground.
"What happened here?" Viktor asked the two of them.
Jakub sat up to explain everything, as he did, his Grim too disappeared. "Well sir-" Emily interrupted him.
"Doctor Tress was a creature that me and this boy here are meant to hunt. A creature known as a Reaper." She informed the two of them.
"I don't know if we were supposed to say anything about that." Said Jakub.
"I trust Nicole a lot and this man is her father."
"Fine… if we're going that far might as well tell them we're not from this world or this time period. And that we've also died once, also we're reapers that hunt reapers for the reaper Princess because she hates her dad." Jakub confessed.
"Hey! New life, new me. I get a redo so I'm gonna not be so to myself. Open door from here on out!" He continued to speak excitedly.
Nicole sat against the doorway and sighed. Still intrigued with how Emily used her ability she finally got the chance to ask.
"So Emily… how did you use my soul ability."
Emily confused, "honestly I don't know what I did. I was so scared that you were going to die. I put my hand on yours and it started glowing green. So I just tried using it. It did work because obviously you're alive but also I didn't have any side effects like you do. Healing you didn't cause me to bleed."
Nicole sat there wondering what could have caused this to happen. "Maybe the fact that you have a black soul has something to do with it."
Jakub looked at Emily, "Oh yeah! Elena told me about that, how does one go about finding their power?"
All three of them replied, "The nurse."
Jakub looked at all three of them. "Well I feel attacked. Take me there yeah?"
"It's night time, I'm sure she's gone already." Emily responded.
"Actually she should still be there; she had quite the amount of work to do because of reporting the black soul discovery." Viktor stated.
Jakub jumped up to his feet and walked toward Emily to help her up. He helped her to her feet when she noticed the ground was shining next to her foot.
Emily had noticed a fiery red shard laying on the ground, picked it up and shoved it into her pocket. I wonder what this is, she thought.
All four of them made their way to the Infirmary where the Soul Locator was about to be used on Jakub.
"Two students in one day have never been told their soul color? Let alone the other is also with the black soul girl. This day is weird." Said Nurse Light.
"Well anyways here we go, I'm just gonna stick this needle in-"
"Nope…" interrupted Jakub. "I don't do needles."
Everyone stood staring at his tattoos on his arm.
"What? Those are totally different." He exclaimed.
"Does the wittle baby want a wowwy pop for his shot." Emily poked fun at him.
Jakub stared straight into Emily's eyes, "Yes, actually I love lollipops."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter and in that moment the nurse took the opportunity. She stuck the Soul Locator's needle into his arm. The shockwave was sent through his body just as it was in Emily's.
"White." Read the Locator out loud.
"HUH?!?!" Everyone in the room except Jakub shouted!
