Tempting Touch

I know you, don't I?

Lucy looked at the sky, 4:00 a.m.
"Wow, I must have overslept." She said putting her black corset on. "Well, back to work. How I love my life." She was incredibly sarcastic, which often led her to trouble.

She went to the main part of the brothel, where the shows used to take place. She walked causally around the stage and sat on the empty chair in front of the one where a man was sitting on.

"Mind buying me a drink, love?" She said.
"Oh, what do we have here? A slut asking me to buy a drink for her!" He mocked her. "I'm not that low."
"It's your choice. Well, I am-"
"Luce!" Spider took her by the hair, making her scream in pain.
"Ugh. It's Lucy!" She answered, annoyed.
"You dumb whore! Go outside! Entertain the gentlemen to come in here to the club!" Spider yelled and pushed her out of The Red Rat.
"God damn it!" She yelled to herself. "What a wondeful night! God..."

A frequent client came closer to her as she got to the entrance.
"Hello, little whore!"
"Ahh." She acted surprised. "On the mark as usual, love? Even when ya' half pissed you don't forget old Luce, eh?"
"You are a ravishing creature..." He said with a dirty look.
"Don't I know it? Come on in, love, you'll catch yourself the death." Lucy said, leading the client inside.

Not very far from there, a dark creaute was ready to attack its prey. Lurking in the shadows, there was Edward Hyde.

"Wait! What's this?
Its her. I thought I had lost you!
It's fate. Ah miss, it's her, Now I have got you.
Wait! Who's this? Who's he?
Too late. Now I'll take what it's mine..." Hyde thought.

He yelled, "CHAMPAGNE, CHAMPAGNE, CHAMPAGNE!", then entered the brothel and talked to Spider.
"Luce, Nellie!" Spider called them. "The gentleman says he's a friend of yours."
"Since when?" Nellie, also a prostitute, asked.
"Since I payed fifty guinness for the company of your lovely friend." Hyde replied, dropping the money on the floor near Lucy.
"He's a friend! Lucy, take care of champagne Charlie here." Nellie said smiling, leaving them.

"Ya' know what they say about a fool and his money?" She asked sarcastically.
"Oh, it's the man who won't pay any price for what he wants, who's a fool. And besides, you look like you could use a... Friend."
She frowned and stared at him. "I know you, don't I?" Lucy said, remembering those were the same words Jekyll told her earlier that night.
"After tonight, my little love, you will never forget me. I am destined to be your... Guardian angel. Your guide to salvation in this world of madness!"
She rolled her eyes. "So what's your name then, sweetheart?"
"Hyde. Edward Hyde." He opened an evil smile.

After failing at seducing Lucy and being denied, Hyde bit her neck violently and scratched her back while laughing. She cried and ran out of the brothel, having to stay some hours out in the cold night, in order for him not to find her. Hyde, already tired from his first night, returned to Jekyll's lab after that. He grinned.
"This is not over, sweet miss."
