BlackLynx17: Hello everyone! I just finished Down the Rabbit Hole if there are those who wait until stories are over to read, I know I do. Thanks for loving and supporting Mendy!
Edolas.
Chapter 11.
I couldn't cry at all no matter how much I wanted to. The tears refused to fall out, I begged it to, tried to force them out. Crying would help, crying would stop the pain. Nothing happened though and I was left simply screaming instead in my room, curling up on my bed as I yelled out my angst and hurt.
He did it. He really did it. He cheated on me. He really, really did it. I trusted him. I tried to trust him. I stood up for him. I believed him. He didn't care at all about that though. I couldn't understand the reason why.
She was me. I was her. Was I just not enough? Was it just the body differences or did she just have something I didn't? Did she knew something I have yet to learn? I didn't know what hurt more, him cheating on me with some random girl or him cheating on me with myself...
Myself.
My voice broke. I couldn't scream anymore; I kept trying to. I didn't know what else to do. I didn't know what else to do. I laid there in bed... hours... days... I don't know. My heart was hurting, it was breaking. No, it was dead.
I was dead.
When a hand brushed my hair I flinched back, scared it was him. It wasn't. Mystogun stood in front of me without his mask on, a sad look on his face as he engulfed me in a hug. It was that hug that finally allowed me to start crying.
"He cheated on me Mystogun, he broke my heart!" I wailed.
"I know Wendy."
"I loved him so much! I always tried my best, so why? Why?"
"I'm sorry Wendy, I'm sorry, everything is going to be okay though."
I buried my face into his shirt and cried my heart out. Mystogun didn't stop holding me, he didn't stop comforting me or caring. I was in his arms until tears failed to come out anymore; dead again. If I wasn't crying, if I wasn't screaming, I wasn't alive; I wasn't feeling anything.
I sniffed, "I just want to die."
"He's not going to hurt you again like this," he told me.
I didn't say anything; I didn't know how he could hurt me more than he already has.
"Wendy, I want you to return to Edolas with me."
I wasn't surprised, but I felt like I should have been; maybe I was and just couldn't act it out due to how exhausted I was.
"Huh?" Was all I was able to say out loud.
"I don't want you near him anymore, I don't want him in the same world as you. I'm taking you to Edolas with me away from him. You won't have to worry about anyone or anything, I'll take care of you. I'm sure Edolas Wendy will be more than happy to take your place here, you won't ever have to see either of them again."
No, I wanted to say. I didn't want that. I didn't want my other me with Doranbolt, I still wanted to be with Doranbolt. Although I told him I didn't love him anymore, I can't just turn off my emotions like that. Of course I still do, but it was not only him. It was my friends as well at Fairy Tail. I couldn't leave them, I didn't want too.
I couldn't voice any of these complaints though. My eyelids suddenly got heavy and my breathing got slower as I closed my eyes. Was I falling asleep? I think I was.
I wished I could have a least woken up believing that it was a dream. There wasn't a doubt in my mind though when I woke up and still felt this heartache, still felt my throat raw and my eyes burning. Everything was still real, everything that had happened still happened. Oh God, why? What did I do to deserve this? I thought I was a good girl; I helped people everyday and always tried to do the right thing...
What would be the right thing at this moment?
"Wendy? Are you up?"
Charlie. I opened my eyes and turned my head over, seeing here resting beside me in bed with a sad smile on her face. I smiled lightly at her and lifted my hand up, running it through her coat.
"Morning Charlie."
"Have you thought about what Mystogun offered you?"
Not the first thing I wanted to hear when waking up. I slowly leaned up out of bed and sighed out, running my hand through my hair.
"Not now Charlie."
"Yes now Wendy; I think we should go. You need to be far away from that man and-"
"Charlie!"
"Wendy, please. Mystogun has already told everyone in Fairy Tail, the Edolas people are planning on leaving in two days. We should be going with them."
"But I don't want to Charlie! I don't want to leave everybody behind!" Wendy protested.
"Then he's going to be able to still get you!"
"I don't care about him anymore Charlie!"
"BUT I CARE ABOUT YOU AND I KNOW THAT IF YOU STAY HERE HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE YOU FORGIVE HIM AND YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT! YOU SHOULDN'T! NOT AFTER WHAT HE HAS DONE TO YOU WENDY!"
I didn't have the will to argue with her anymore, so I said nothing and got up from bed. I walked right passed Charlie and into the bathroom, slamming the door behind. I wanted to take a shower, wash all my burdens off of me and cleanse myself, but my knees gave out under me and I slid against the door, crying on the bathroom floor.
"Doranbolt, why? Why?"
