Monster Academy - The Blood of Humans - Chapter Fifty

Castle of Legends
Alex held the gun shakily in her hands. It was dark and her vision blurry. She could've told them apart because of the gun shots, but Not-Darren had shapeshifted so that he had the exact same bullet wounds.

Both Darren's stared at her. They looked exactly alike, she had to choose the real one quick though. She was going to pass out soon.

"Darren....?" Both of them looked up at her, expectantly. Damn he was good. His healing time was even in sync with Darren as both of there wounds started to heal up. She stared.

She couldn't think of how to choose and decide which was which, who was who. She couldn't kill the one she loved...if she did she was dead, but then she'd give in anyway.

But then, she thought exactly what to ask. What he said the first time he was here. Not-Darren couldn't have known that...Darren wouldn't know the real one. But it'd be enough.

She looked to both of the Darrens, "...What was the first thing Darren had ever said to me when we first met?" She asked.

Darren thought....the imposter would know it, he'd have spies or something find it out. He tried thinking of soemthing about Alex, anything he'd know about her that the other guy didn't.

But then it hit him...he imagined Alex...but this one was 5 years younger...and she had brown hair, She had a star fish in her hair to.. His eyes widened. She..she was her. She was the girl he had met years ago. She knew it to...she must.

He remembered her being surprised yet had recognition in her eyes. She also had the star fish hair clip...or well it could be alive, well it was for her hair anyways....but she knew.

But before Darren could answer. The other Darren spoke," I said; Y-Yeah...my mom's just learned how to text but sometimes I wish she'd hadn't and Darren, Darren Leonard."

Darren couldn't believe it. The guy had said exactly how he had said it months ago. It was unbelievable. The guy hadn't even known about then till now. It was ridiculous.

He saw Alex watching, she looked horrible and sickly, she was so distracted she looked like she believed him.

He sighed, it was either now or never. "Darren...what's yours?" He said quietly. Alex's eyes widened a bit. He kept going, "D-do you want to build a castle?" He asked.

Alex stared in shock, the other Darren looked confused, yet he smirked. Thinking he had won. That Darren had messed up.

But Alex smiled, "You remember..." She lifted the gun and pointed it at the opposite Darren, the Not-Darren, and then, she shot him in the head.
