Chapter 41: Fighting Myself
Next day
"So... someone is posing as you and attacking your friends?" Lucy said. I nodded. "That's why I want all of you here and safe. If you see me alone and not with Abbey or Wendy, don't acknowledge me. Just attack." I said. My mom nodded. "Let me come." Martina said. "No." I said. "But-" "Go. See what's going on." Erza said while interrupting my cousin. I nodded and Abigail, Wendy, and I left the guild. We ran to the forest and entered. We went through the forest, trying to find the exit. When we found it, we exited and a black fireball flew at us. We dodged the fireball as it hit a tree and exploded.
I looked at where the fireball came from and saw an angry Amanda with Nicole beside her advancing on me. Where the fuck is he!? I looked around, trying to find the guy I called. Abigail and Wendy stood infront of me and tried to reason with them. "It's not what you think!" Abigail exclaimed. "Oh really? So him attacking us for no reason and running off laughing like maniac is just a lie?" Nicole said with venom. "Yes! It is! It wasn't Robert." Wendy said. "It looked exactly like him, same voice, same powers, and same guild mark. No, it wasn't him at all." Amanda said with sarcasm and venom.
"And yet, he was unconscious for three days." a new voice said. Thank you! I looked in the direction of where the voice came from. A guy about our age with silver eyes, black hair with the tips dyed blonde, jeans, and a red shirt with the words 'Bring it!' was standing there with a grin on his face. "Took you long enough Daniel." I said. He laughed at me and said "Piss off! I had to deal with my old man. For me being a son of Aries, you can tell their was loads of fights." He walked over to me and pulled a sword out of thin air. "So you're Daniel. Nice to meet you." Abigail said. "And you must be his beautiful fiancée. She's a keeper dude." Daniel said with a grin.
"Stop smiling and try to help me calm them down. Your mother is a-" "Don't talk about her." Daniel interrupted me and glared in my direction. I nodded. Then I thought of something. "Amanda, what was I wearing when I attacked you?" I asked her. "You can't even remember what you were wearing!? Ugh.. fine! You wore a black tank top and blue jeans." Amanda said. "Did I have a mark on my left shoulder?" I asked. Amanda shook her head. I pulled the collar of my shirt over my left shoulder and showed her the yellow halo mark.
"Did... you... always have that...?" Amanda asked, both Nicole and her eyes were shadowed by their hair. "Since Halloween." I replied. I stood up and was thrown back down by a tackle hug by both girls. "We're sorry! For attacking you!" they both cried. I chuckled. Someone cleard their throat and I paled. They both got off and we stood back off. All six of us ran to my house. When we got there, we threw the door open and hurried inside. Abigail closed the door behind us. We told Amanda and Nicole what happened. "I see... so you were on your date and all this happened." Nicole said. Wendy nodded.
I looked out the door window and saw Victoria marching her way up to my house. "Shit... incoming Earth God Slayer..." I said. "Here we go again..." Abigail mumbled. I openes the door and stepped out. Victoria's eyes lit with rage. "Now calm down V. It's not what you think." I said. "He's lying!" Daniel yelled out the door. "What the hell!" I yelled back at him. He laughed. "I get my power from fights and war's." he said. "Don't forget your other side." I said. "Which I never use." he countered. Before I could counter him, Victoria had punched my face, sending me flying into the other side of my house. I groaned in pain.
"Now hold on Victoria. Did that Robert have a mark on his left shoulder?" Abigail asked. Victoria shook her head. Wendy moved towards the still injured me and showed her my left shoulder. A yellow halo was on it. It was quiet for a while. "I so sorry!" Victoria cried all of a sudden. "It's okay, but now that you are here, it gave me an idea." I told them all the idea. "So, you are using Victoria, Amanda, your own soon-to-be-wife, and I as bait!?" Nicole exclaimed. "And if he somehow obtained my mark, then I have one more trick up my sleeve I won't show you yet." I said. "Let's do this." Abigail said. "Right!" the rest of us exclaimed. "Daniel, you need to gaurd me so Kim and Sharon don't come for my neck." I whispered to him.
Daniel chuckled. "It's almost like you have a harem..." he whispered back. "You're like Mira!!" I yelled. That had got everyone's attention. "The questions he could be asking and the comments as well..." Abigail and Wendy said in fear. Daniel laughed. "Let's just go..." I said with a face palm.

I hid in my shadow realm I created and looked through Abbey's shadow. She was talking with Victoria, Amanda, and Nicole. Then Abigail stomped her foot. The signal! I emerged from my shadow and saw my look alike. It was exactly how Amanda described it. It had my everything. My looks, my guild mark, and he was laughing in my voice as well. "I was waiting for you." the dude said. "Well I'm here." I replied with a glare. He was wearing the exact same clothes I was wearing. We ran at each other. I threw a fist at him and he blocked it. Then, in the end, it turned into a wrestling/boxing match.
"Which is which!? I can't attack one without knowing which one is the real one!?" Nicole exclaimed. The fake showed her his left shoulder. A yellow halo. He somehow got it... I looked at Abbey and raised my shirt. A black scarf with white thread lining it was around my abdomen. Abigail pointed to the other one and said "That one!" Nicole fired at the fake and an arrow lodged into his heart. He dropped dead. The fake me then melted into shadow and a black stain was on the ground. "How did you fivure it out?" Amanda said, amazed. "Our little secret." Abigail said, sending a wink in my direction.
I laughed. Then I heard "ROOOOBBBEEERRRTTT!" The next thing I knew, a flaming whip was sent my way and snapped itself on my chest. I went flying as my chest was burned. Ow... I groaned in pain as I landed on the ground. The question the previous girls were asked was asked at Sharon. She said no. And Wendy came over to me and showed her my left shoulder. "Oops! Sorry Robert!" she said while laughing nervously. I hate you Ms. Flame... I really do...
