The image went white and then he was standing on the lake he fell in that was across his house. It was in the middle of the night. He wiped away the frozen tears on his face from the previous memory. He peered across the lake and saw a pile of dirt and a cross sitting on top. He floated over to it. It had her name carved in it. It was surrounded by hundreds of bouquets of flowers of every color. There were notes from people in the village that said stuff like. 'We love you' and 'we're gonna miss you'. He smiled at the things they said. He turned around to the sound of the front door to his house opening. Out came Pippa who carried Lizzie's bow and arrows and a candle. She had a tired look on her face. She had swollen eyes that were bloodshot from crying. Pippa made sure to keep away from the lake as she made her way towards Lizzie's grave. She held the candle which was now giving off a faint light and set it down next to the cross. She stood there for a moment and then took the bow off her back and leaned it against the cross along with the arrows. She sniffled and rubbed her nose then she turned around and walked away. Then one last time, she turned around and the candle finally blew out. She sighed and walked back into the house. Then the clouds cleared and revealed its gorgeous light. It shone on the grave. A ball of yellow light descended from above. It was beautiful. Jack's eyes widened with wonder at the aurora it gave off and a spark every so often. It then went into the ground where the grave was laid.
A moment of silence passed and then Jack looked over to the candle and it lit on fire immediately. It flickered two times every second as if it were her heartbeat. Jack looked at the candle with wide eyes.
*crack*
Jack looked down and saw that the ground was cracking into pieces. He stumbled back as more of it cracked and finally Lizzie emerged. She wore her usual tank top and skinny jeans with black boots that went up to her knee. Her chest glowed with the light that came down from above. Sparks started to fly from her back on each of her shoulder blades and they multiplied and burst with light leaving behind her glorious wings. Then starting with her roots her hair color turned into her sun kissed blonde. She cracked her eyes open revealing her sapphire blue orbs that twinkled in the moon light. She took a deep breath and coughed once but that was all. She was lowered to the ground and the cracks disappeared beneath her feet as she looked around her with fear struck eyes panting slightly. The color of her skin went from deathly pale to tan and the circles under her eyes disappeared. She felt her clothes and looked up to the moon. She shut her eyes and breathed in heavily and opened them and smiled. She turned around to face the cross and gave a confused look. She bent over and rubbed her fingers over her name.
"My name? Why would-" she stopped and she stumbled back as Jack watched images that he assumed were memories dance across the iris of her eyes. They disappeared and she steadied herself as she shook her head.
"Oh, that's right." She said with a frown. She walked around the grave and read the notes that were left for her from the villagers. She smiled and picked up a rose and smelled it. She put it in her hair. She stopped in her tracks when she saw her bow. Her eyes widened with curiosity and she walked towards it and picked up the long piece of wood. Then the swirls in the wood erupted with power that gave off a very faint humming sound and a little light. Then she saw her quiver of arrows and she walked towards them picking them up. She pulled out an arrow and that too gave off the same aurora the bow did. She looked at her bow in one hand and her quiver in the other. She grinned and loaded an arrow into her bow and pointed towards the sky. Then she pulled back on the string. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and released it. It went far and then exploded in fire which made Jack duck to the ground even though he wouldn't be affected by it. She stood there with her mouth open and eyes wide in shock at what just happened. Jack waited for her reaction.
"That." She started "was the coolest thing I've ever SEEN! Haha!" She exclaimed as she jumped and pumped her fist in the air with victory. Jack smiled at her excitement, he really was happy for her. She calmed down and sighed. She started to fling her arrows on her back when she stopped. She let her arm fall and the quiver fell to the ground. Her eyes darted to the ground to see her shadow and her eyes widened at the two round shapes that rose to the area around her head above her shoulders. She slowly spun her head around to face her back. A combination of shock, confusion, and excitement registered on her face and Jack just rolled his eyes and grinned. She felt the two shapes and discovered her large and gorgeous white wings.
"Wings... I have wings..." She said as she raked her fingers through her hair. "I. Have. WINGS!" She exclaimed as she rubbed the feathers through her fingers. She noticed the now flaming candle and picked it up, she looked back at house.
"Pippa..." she whispered to herself. She walked over to the cold wooden house, Jack followed. She set the candle on the windowsill and cupped her hands over her eyes to get a better look as she peered in. All of a sudden she started to faze through the wall.
"Hey, hey!... Wait a minut- oomph" she said as she went through and landed on her face. "Ow!" she said as she lifted her head and rubbed the red mark. She stood on her feet and put her hand through the wall again to get the candle off the window sill. There was a light coming from the kitchen and then out walked Pippa carrying a glass of water to her bedroom.
"Pippa! Pippa its me!" she exclaimed as she ran in front. But nothing happened, she just walked right through her. Lizzie gasped in shock and held her stomach. Jack knew what that felt like. Lizzie turned around and squinted in disbelief. But then shook her head and sighed as she watched Pippa walk into her bedroom and blow the candle out. Lizzie walked into the kitchen and got out some parchment. She wrote something on it and then folded it into a paper airplane. She walked over to Pippa's door and released it making it glide through the air and then land on Pippa's stomach who was in bed already. Pippa sat up and picked up the airplane staring at it curiously. Jack hovered over Pippa as she unfolded it. it read:
"Don't forget us... okay?
-Lizzie and Jack"
Pippa gasped at the note as well as Jack. She had included him in the note. Pippa rested the note down beside the candle. "I promise." she said aloud. Jack looked over to Lizzie who looked at the candle deeply and snapped her fingers. The candle immediately lit on fire and Pippa gasped. Lizzie smiled and walked out of the doorway of her bedroom and looked at the hat stand by their front door. Jack recognized the beanie she was eyeing. It was the same one she had in the present day. Lizzie took it off the stand and walked out side. She slipped it on and gathered her bow and arrows, then she started for the woods and looked back to the house one last time.
Then the memory ended.
