BlackLynx17: Hey everybody! This story is almost over, I have no idea of what to write as the epilogue though! Ugh, it's killing me, but hopefully I'll think of something soon!
Edolas.
Chapter 10.
When I woke up this morning I didn't wake up alone. There was a warm body next to me and judging by the curves and body parts pressed against me I knew it wasn't Wendy. I couldn't remember last night very well, I know I would never cheat on Wendy... I wouldn't have... a lot of things happened last night though. Memories were shared, feelings were talked about, tears were shed, and alcohol was drunk. I remember not having a lot though so nothing would cloud my judgment.
But she was breathing next to me. I couldn't believe it; I just ruined the rest of my life last night and I couldn't even remember. I felt the bare sheets against my chest and legs, so I knew we must have done something. I finally turned to look behind me and saw Edolas Wendy lying right next to me, her eyes wide open, topless.
"Fuck," I cursed out loudly.
Edolas Wendy smiled lightly at me, "we didn't do anything."
I blinked, "what?"
"Check yourself Doranbolt, you're still clothes while I still have my pants on."
I didn't believe her; I pulled the blanket off of me and saw that I did have my boxers on while she had her pants and bra still on her body. So we didn't do anything. I didn't remember doing anything, it doesn't look like we did anything, so nothing happened? No, something did happen. I still did cheat, I remember kissing her, I saw the bruises and hickeys on her neck, but nothing too serious.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You took pity on me. You gave in, you let me seduce you, things got heated but when the time came I just- I just-... I couldn't do it," her voice cracked.
"No, no, no, I wouldn't cheat on Wendy," I said shaking my head.
"I'm sorry Doranbolt, I'm so sorry."
"This is, no, this can't be happening?! I remember kissing you, I remember touching you, why though? I told myself I wouldn't, I promised her nothing would happen!" I yelled getting out of bed.
"It wasn't your fault Doranbolt-"
"It is my fault! She trusted me and I completely betrayed her!" I yelled.
"It wasn't your fault! I begged you, I cried to you, I got you drunk so your judgment would get hazy!"
"I didn't drink that much! I made sure I didn't!"
"But I drugged you so you would still feel the full affect!"
"... YOU WHAT?!"
Edolas Wendy leaned up in bed and brushed her hair behind her ears, "I was only trying to make things easier, I just gave you something that would make you as drunk as your Cana, that would help you come to me more willingly because with the way things were going I knew you wouldn't betray her. When it happened Doranbolt you have to know I started feeling bad and at one point I woke up and realized that I couldn't do this to you. I couldn't do this to Mini Me and most of all I couldn't do this to myself. I was so sure, I wanted to get rid of the pain and loneliness so much, but this wasn't the right way. He wouldn't have been happy with me, I can't believe I fell so low to realize this, I'm so sorry," she cried covering her face.
I took a step away and stepped on some fabric; looking down I noticed it was my pants and quickly pulled them on. I grabbed a shirt and put that on too before looking for her clothes and throwing them at her.
"Put them on and get out." I ordered.
"Doranbolt-"
"Now! I never want to see you again Edolas Wendy! Ever! You used me, you tried to play me, you drugged me! You almost ruined my relationship with MY REAL WENDY, you almost ruined my life, you did ruin my life and I can't deal with you anymore so you need to leave." I told her.
Edolas Wendy started putting her shirt on and got out of bed, she didn't leave though. She walked over to me instead.
"I do love you."
"GET OUT!" I yelled pointing to the door.
"And you love me too, because you kissed me back Doranbolt. Before the drinks, when I made the first moves, you were kissing me back."
I started breathing heavily through my nose.
"I want to help you."
"You've helped enough! What can you possibly help me with now?!"
"Wendy's not stupid! She's going to smell my scent all over you, she's going to see the marks I made on you when she comes back and she's going to smell the same on me and notice the same things! I'm trying to help you save your relationship!"
"You're the reason my relationship is about to end! I don't want anything to do with you anymore! Leave me alone!"
"I know! I know! I'm a fuck up! I ruin everything! Please don't ruin this though, I don't-... Doranbolt, I'm sorry."
I calmed down a bit and took a deep breath.
"I'm going to take a very long shower, by the time I'm out I want you gone." I said turning away.
"We can figure this out at the guild; Natsu and Gajeel are dragon slayers too. They might be able to help us if we explain, if I explain I tried to take advantage over you and help us make the scents disappear."
"I don't want anyone finding out about us! Especially those two!"
"What other choice do we have?"
"Burn the evidence! Burn everything and shower enough until we smell like nothing! Jump into a river, jump into a dumpster for all I care! I can't deal with his right now, god dammit I can't handle this!"
I walked away without turning back and slammed the bathroom door behind me, turning on the shower at the hottest water as I tried to burn her stench off my skin. Oh my God, what have I done? What have I done? I didn't do anything in fact, she was the one who drugged me, I kissed her though. I let her in. I comforted her. I tried to help her when I should have just left. I allowed this to happen.
Mystogun was right; I did get conceded.
"Wendy," I whimpered, the shower washing away my tears with it.
She was the best thing that happened to me. She saved my life countless of times in more than one way, I was completely in love with her and now I was about to lose her for what? For what? Who was Edolas Wendy? I didn't know her, well I did know her, but I didn't come to care for her and fall in love with her like my Wendy. Was it pity? It must have been, I did feel sad that she didn't have her Doranbolt anymore and I felt since I was Doranbolt that I should help her, that wasn't right though. None of this was right. All of this was a mistake...
A mistake I didn't know how gravely I would pay for.
"Doranbolt," she whispered taking the seat next to mine.
"I swear to God Edolas Wendy, I'm not trying to cause a scene right now." I told her.
No, what I was trying to do was check Natsu and Gajeel's noses without actually having them know I was. If what she said was true, then her scent should be over me. When I walked in though they didn't notice or try to kill me at all; either it wasn't as strong as usual or they simply wasn't close enough to smell me. I was waiting to get one of them alone to ask, but couldn't decide on who. Which one would my magic work better on? Of course it would work; my memory erasing magic has never failed me before, but I just wanted to make sure there was no possible way. Then again the two of them were both idiots and my magic tends to work well on idiots.
So now I just needed one of them to be my guinea pig; I'll use Natsu first. If he smells Edolas Wendy on me strongly I'll erase his memories and try Gajeel's next after more showers and maybe even a dumpster dive. My eyes scanned back towards Edolas Wendy beside me; it doesn't matter how clean I get if she still smells like me and judging on how fast she came after me after I teleported out of my apartment she didn't clean up or change clothes or anything. I'm surprised Natsu and Gajeel didn't attack us right then and there.
"Doranbolt, I'm trying to help."
"You've helped enough, I have everything under control now. What you can do though is leave and stay away from my Wendy and me until you return back to Edolas."
"Dora-"
I couldn't hear the rest of what she said because... everything went by slowly. At one second I was sitting at the bar right next to her, slowly I feel something hit me, I feel myself flying, crashing through the bar, through the walls, pain everywhere, splinters everywhere, and then it all happens at normal speed and I am knocked through the walls and land outside the guild, skidding against the ground. I was hurting everywhere, I couldn't move, my ears were ringing, I could barely make out anything.
I had no idea what had just happened. Did someone just attack me? Was it Edolas Wendy? No, she was beside me, I wouldn't have flown straight back, but to the side where she was. Natsu? I didn't feel on fire, burnt, or hot. Gajeel? It might have been, I had cuts and bruises. I stood up and looked over at the whole in the guild... my heart dropped.
"YOU BASTERED!" Wendy screamed at me, my Wendy, my perfect, angel Wendy who I loved more than life itself.
"Wendy, no," I whispered shaking my head.
"WHAT THE HELL?! DORANBOLT! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Edolas Wendy screamed running towards me.
No, you're not making things better. I shook my head at her, "Wendy please."
"I can't believe I trusted you, I can't believe I believed in you! I stood up for you! I told them they were wrong! I told them you would never do such a thing to me and yet I was foolish! I can't believe, I can't believe, oh my God," Wendy's eyes widened as she shook.
She started crying, looking on the verge of collapsing, on the verge of breaking. No, Wendy, no. Don't look like that, don't feel like that. Please.
"You have it all wrong little me, it was all my fault. I forced myself on him, but Doranbolt stopped me. Nothing happened, nothing-"
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!" Wendy screamed casted a spell at her.
I acted upon reflex and grabbed Edolas Wendy, teleporting us away from the attack and to a safer area. I shouldn't have done that; it wasn't helping my case at all. I should have let it hit her so Wendy would have felt better, I know I would have.
"No, Wendy, this isn't how it looks. Listen, I love you," I said walking over to her, "I need you Wendy. I didn't cheat, I mean we did kiss, but like she said she forced herself on me! I took pity Wendy, nothing else happened though. It didn't matter, it didn't-"
"Stay away from her!" Mystogun appeared and shoved me away.
"Stay out of this," I growled.
"I warned you, I gave you a clear warning about what would happen if you hurt her. You need to back off now Doranbolt," Mystogun glared.
"She doesn't understand! You aren't making this any better!"
"It's clear she does by the way she's reacting!"
"Mystogun, it wasn't his fault. Everything is mine," Edolas Wendy kept trying to say.
The three of us started arguing, me trying to get to Wendy, Mystogun pushing me back, and Edolas Wendy trying to break us apart. I don't know what the rest of the guild was doing, I could care less though. My Wendy was crying. My Wendy was refusing to look at me as she shook and stared straight down at the ground, looking like she was about to collapse at any moment.
"Wendy!"
"Back off!"
"Stop it Mystogun!"
"SHUT UP!" She roared out.
There was silence that followed as Wendy took deep breaths; when she was ready she looked up and I've never seen so much hatred in her eyes before. I've never seen her look so cold, so far away; shivers coursed through me. She was staring straight beside me and I turned, seeing Edolas Wendy stare right back at her.
"You worked so hard for him, you worked so hard to destroy us, to have him as your own and betrayed me when I tried to give you a chance and treated you as a friend. You went behind my back and-" she took a sharp breath, "I hope you're happy now; if you want him then fine. Take him. I don't want him anymore."
She didn't scream this or yell, she said in simply in a cold voice making it ten times worse. Those cold eyes scanned towards me and I felt myself crying.
"I'm done with you; I don't love you anymore."
"Wendy please!" I yelled teleporting to her.
A hand yacked the back of my collar and I felt a cool fist to my face, knocking me down and out.
