Lizzy stared into Jakub's eyes as she heard him say those words to her. She began to feel sad almost to the point she wanted to burst into tears.
"It's me Lizzy… Elizabeth White. We met the first day of our first semester. You were killed right in front of me in the park."
"Killed? How would I be killed if I'm standing here in front of you right now?"
Emily watched and listened to the encounter between the two. Light and Nicole walked out of the restroom and walked to stand next to Emily. Amaya was sitting at their table looking over at the group standing near the restroom. She was curious as to what was going on so she walked over to Emily also.
"What's going on?" Amaya asked.
"I think that girl is from Jakub's past life, but I have no idea how she would be here. Elena told us she could only create two reapers with hearts. This girl is clearly feeling emotions." Emily informed the three of them. "It also seems like he is losing his memory of the other world faster than I am. I don't think he remembers her."
"You were stabbed in the back… you… you died right in front of me. HOW CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER?" Lizzy was getting very upset with the situation. She became embarrassed from this happening in front of the others she doesn't know.
"Stabbed in the back?" He pulled his shirt up. "Does it look like I w-"
"SEE! You have a bad scar right where the knife went in." Lizzy started pointing at it.
Jakub stood there with his eyes opened wide.
"Jakub, there's definitely a scar here and she's not lying. You were killed in a past life. We need to talk to Elena and figure out what's going on." Emily spoke.
Lizzy smacked her teeth annoyed at the fact that Emily joined the conversation. Lizzy stepped closer to Jakub.
"We were on a date when you were stabbed." Lizzy told him.
Jakub stood there and started sifting through his mind. He wanted to contact Elena on his own to figure out what was going on. Jakub connected through to Elena and began asking her all these questions about memory loss. She knew exactly what he wanted to know and informed him that if Zip and Swoopy would tier up they would stop memory loss and possibly recover any lost. She told him she's able to tier them up for free this one time. Other times they would need reapers souls, they would consume them themselves upon reapers dying. Jakub agreed with everything Zip and Swoopy were tiered up from C to B. Emily and Jakub's memory loss subsided.
"Lizzy? What… what are you doing here?" Jakub had gotten his memory back. He began to cry at the sight of her because it reminded him that his past was gone. "Elena told me we would stop forgetting our past and she leveled up our Grim's."
Emily looked around wondering where the voice was coming from. It sounded like Jakub but he wasn't talking out loud he was just looking at Emily.
"I think this is an upgraded Heightened sense. I'm able to communicate between us telepathically and you should be able to respond just like when we do with Elena." Jakub continued talking to Emily.
"So who is this girl? And how the hell is she here?" Emily questioned
"I was with her when I died. I have no idea how she is here." He answered
"I was pulled from the other world to here… I'm not sure why though and I have no idea what's going on." Lizzy answered lying.
Jakub smiled at her. "Well that's convenient before I was forgetting everything I thought of you a lot. You're the reason I'm so much more open here."
Lizzy began blushing. "I took what happened really hard and just as I was starting to find normalcy I was pulled here."
"I don't trust her." Amaya said, shrugging her shoulders.
"What reason would she have to lie?" Jakub turned around asking her.
"You guys have enemies amongst the reapers basically every reaper is your enemy." She replied. "How do we know she wasn't brought to the other side."
"Well because I think Elena is the only one capable of making Reapers with hearts." Jakub replied.
"Well it was nice to see you but I can't deal with all of this commotion. It's too much for me right now." Lizzy hurried out of the restaurant and ran down the block, jumping to a roof.
Trinity appeared next to her as she perched over the roof. "What the hell were you thinking? He would've eventually noticed the clothes you're wearing. That was stupid you shouldn't have stayed there that long."
"I know… how did he instantly remember me after saying he had no idea." Lizzy asked Trinity
"I sensed two Grim's growing stronger so I think it had something to do with that."
"I don't like those girls… I'm going to get rid of them. Jakub is mine."
The group still stood by the restroom wondering what just happened and why she ran off like that. Jakub finally had the chance to use the restroom and went ahead.
"I don't trust that girl." Amaya said
"Me neither." Nicole, Emily and Light all replied.
"Did you see the look she had on her face when Emily started talking? She seemed like she hated her, but how would she? She doesn't even know her, right?" Amaya asked.
"I never met her, I didn't know Jakub before we met here." Emily answered.
Jakub rushed out of the restroom. "Guys!"
"What did you finally find it?" Light poked fun at him and they began laughing.
"No… Lizzy was the one on the roof watching. She was the other reaper cloaked on the roof. She's a hearted reaper." Jakub informed them.
"WHAT!? How do you know?" Emily asked
"She had the exact same clothes on!"
Jakub and Emily were confused; they had been unaware that other reapers could still have hearts. They believed Elena was the only one capable of doing it because her father wanted mindless drones. That's when it clicked in Jakub's head, she could be the only one being used just to counter them.
"She's the only one other than us… and she's being used to oppose you specifically Jakub." Emily said
"That's what I was thinking." He replied
"But what good would a girl in love be with helping to be rid of Jakub." Nicole asked
"Not necessarily get rid of Jakub, what if her jealous rage sends her to target us." Light answered
"She would be jealous of every girl surrounding him if she was still in love. Meaning she would want to take each of us out." Amaya said
