Maybe she was hearing things or maybe she was going insane?
But Lili could have sworn she heard something!
The voice was vivid in her head. Perhaps in her ears? Lili wasn't certain but she heard something!
She thought about ignoring it and taking steps away from the cemetery but then again she heard again.
"If you Leave, Then you'll be on your own...No one will help you against him..."
The voice had come again like the wind. Blowing through her ears. And this time she was certain that someone was talking to her...
Her Feet went numb. Maybe out of fear? She couldn't tell. But she found it hard to move.
All she did was stand there, panting Softly as she looked ahead. The exit gate was there, but she couldn't move...
"I can help you against him.." The voice had come again. And this time, she was certain of it.
"Who....are you?" She finally asked, not willing to turn around or even look around the dark and creepy scenario.
"Who I am...is of no importance to you right now...All you need to know...is that I'm a ghost..here to help you.."
It was a man's voice that flowed along with the Wind. Soothing through her ears.
"Help me?" She repeated. She was scared but she tightened her grip to let out her fear of something at least.
"Why do you want to help me? And how can you help me?" She asked.
A slight laugher followed through the air she had shut her, afraid of the sudden action of the wind.
"Helping is...is helping myself...Look, I'm like the wind and can do nothing..but you're different..." He explained and his explanation made a lot of sense.
"And how can I help you? Well I'll tell you ...Your suspicion of him Is partly correct, because the man you killed, is already dead"
Lili gasped. She wondered if she was to be happy or shocked at such news. Suddenly she didn't feel happy about knowing this. It meant a ghost was back for her?!
"The body you see is that of his, But the soul occupying it isn't. But that of a Grim reaper"
"..." She was trembling within.
"I want to get my revenge against that Grim reaper inside...And so I can help you get back at him for torturing you. This way, you can get rid of him again"
She had taken up enough courage to throw a quick question "How?" She was so quick to ask as an indication of how much she wanted it.
The soft chuckle went through the wind. The man seemed amused by her "interesting... Really interesting "He said. "How diligent are you...Don't worry, I'll help you to the end..."
The Voice continued " I have been around for years now...I've been gathering all the time...And now with the little, I know from all these years, I believe with proper implementations, You'll Be able to take him down..."
"I have seen two sides to getting him, First Grim reaper has made a mistake...And now is punished to take care of a mortal girl. To him, she is like Great reasonability that he can't mess up. If he does, I'll be the end for him, so he sees her as a first-hand task that he has to take care of...."
"And again, The Grim Reaper, although he might not be aware of it yet, is afraid of kisses"
Lili was surprised "Kisses?" She repeated.
The soft chuckle came again.
"It was not so long ago...."

Reaper Mo was just sitting on a bench under the streetlight. It was a busy night as judged by the many mortal passers-by who were retiring home after the long working of the day. Some were perhaps heading to new destinations for one thing or the other.
Reaper Mo sat there with his legs crossed. He adjusted the hat on his head as he continued watching the people passing.
He had no card which showed that he wasn't here to take a soul. But he was here on this breezy night for something.
And Just then another Younger man appeared beside him on the seat. "Here...I got it"
This Younger man's hand was shivering in fear as he handed an old and dusty book to Reaper Mo.
"You...You don't know what I went through to enter the forbidden library and get this. I agree that I'm one of the library attendants but taking the past life of someone is a grave offense!" He pointed out.
" Stop whining, Just take it like we're both even now. Now I won't threaten to report you for the previous mistake you made in the library since you get this for me" Reaper Mo said dusting the book with his hands.
"But...why do you need His past life for? You'll be in so much trouble if you're found out" The man Said.
"With my esteemed position, I can't be easily punished. Besides, This Young man thinks that because he is one of the best Grim reapers, he can look down on me" He smirked.
"I'll have to give him a taste of hell... Let's see how he still retains his concentration after taking a quick glimpse into his terrible and thought-provoking past..."
"But isn't there another way to other than this?"
"There is.." Reaper Mo Said "A kiss which is responsible for opening up a vision to his past, ...But I can't possibly find a mortal to kiss him. It's another hard work since he's a ghost. So this is the best option... Besides, I'll be fun."
Reaper Mo smiled at the book" When I'm done with him, He'll regret looking down at me. Because I'll make him a joke too tall"
****
".... After hearing that, I further investigated and got all I needed. His past life is a traumatic one that no one knows about...and not even him. Since he was made to forget it...But With a mortal's kiss, He can have a glimpse of his pass"
