Chapter 16: Guilt
As the second last day of the festival began Cana left the cottage leaving team Natsu there "OK so what does everyone want to do today" Natsu said "well we could always check some of the games" Lucy said "sure might as well I don't see why not" Grey said with that done everybody got up to leave as Natsu let the other's go so he could talk to Wendy "what's wrong Wendy Cana's fine" Natsu said that's when Wendy snapped at him "that's not the point she died because of me it doesn't matter she's fine now I killed her, how can I ever look at her again it's my fault she died" Natsu said "but she's a" once again he was cut off "so what it doesn't matter I killed her I did it I couldn't stop myself and what if I do it again and what next time they don't come back" Wendy said before clutching her knees Natsu sat down beside her and said "Wendy I do have something to ask" she looked up at him as he said "how did you stop" at this Wendy froze 'how did I stop I shouldn't have been able to why, why could I stop' "I don't know leave me alone" she said as she ran out the door.
'When did everything get so crazy in my life' Wendy thought as she was running 'why does this keep happening I keep hurting people I care about, maybe I should just leave don't stop running and just go, it would be better for everyone if did' she asked herself before a dark voice answered 'what's the point there going to die anyway why not do it yourself and get some blood' with this Wendy turned to see who was there and saw herself as a vampire "no you're not here, you can't be" Wendy said looking at her other self "aw sweetie where do you think is here" with that statement Wendy looked around to see nothing but blackness "where am I" with this the other Wendy laughed and said "were in the scariest place in the whole world your head" with this Wendy backed up "what are you" with this the other Wendy smiled and said "you've never had a dark impulse your entire life no hatred, no envy, no desire, no darkness that your aware of, what do you think I am" Wendy stopped "your my darkness, no way I've felt anger pliantly of times" again Wendy was meet by laughter "oh really you do want to know what really think about half of your family" Wendy backed up as the "first let's start Cana I mean come on can anyone say useless drunk. Next how about Levy all I can say nerd and last but no means least how about Erza" at this Wendy yelled "no Erza's my friend all the team is" this too was replied with by a dark smile "I know but isn't Erza cute when she's scared" with this Wendy looked at her other with shock "oh please your me I'm you" the darker Wendy approached her a whispered "and we both know every dark little fantasy you've ever had about her, do us both a favour and ask her out" with that Wendy was returned to reality.
After an hour of running through the woods Natsu still hadn't found Wendy 'where could she be I hope she's alright' he thought as he kept running before coming to a stop when he saw her "Wendy come on let's get back to guild" when Natsu came closer he noticed Wendy's hair was black as he slowly backed up "Natsu am I bad person" she asked him "no you're not of course you're not" he said still backing up slightly she turned to face him even though her hair was black her eyes were normal "don't just say mean it" he gave a sigh before saying "you're not a bad person Wendy and do you know how I can tell" he said before continuing "you were able to stop if, if you were a bad person you wouldn't of stopped " with this she cheered up a bit and went back with Natsu to the guild hall.
