Hyde's POV

I open my eyes to find that I am not in a dark area of the mind, nor the mirror looking to Jekyll. I find that I am in a bed, but chained to it. Poole is sitting in a chair not far from the bed, and he is waiting with a glass of water.

"I expected Dr. Jekyll to be honest."

I stay silent for a moment, then respond. "In all honesty, so did I.. I thought he would've taken over."

"Since you are chained then and hopefully cannot escape, may I ask why you are here and not Dr. Jekyll?"

"I don't know! Perhaps he was too weak to take over?"

"I wouldn't know, I do not study the medical sciences that he does."

I think for a moment. "I have a question for you Poole."

"Mr. Hyde?" He says, in response in saying he's ready to answer.

"What happened to her? Dr. L/N last night. She ran didn't she?"

"She ran out of the house Mr. Hyde. She told me to protect Jekyll as I have been doing."

"What is her connection with Dr. Jekyll?" I kind of spit out in a rude way.

"I don't know much. Only that she comes sometimes to help him, though, she does not know you two are the same person."

"I figured she didn't. We don't really look alike unless Jekyll pulls on a meaner state."

"Right."

"Did Jekyll do anything while I was out? Like take over or anything?"

"He only took over once for a few short minutes. He attempted to bandage himself but was too weak so he had me do it."

"That's right the cut!" I say and I sit up quickly, but when I do a sharp stinging pain rushes through me and I intake air quickly through my teeth. 

"Mr. Hyde please lie down!"

Poole helps me lie down slowly, then gives me the cup. "I guess I better keep you hydrated. you are also Dr. Jekyll after all."

"H-How does Jekyll deal with so much pain?! Agh!!"

"Dr. Jekyll isn't so stupid as to move swiftly with an injury such as yours." Poole says as he gets a bandage. "Now, I have to clean the wound and replace the bandage, so if you'll lie still then I can do so. Unless you want it to bleed more and possibly die?"

I roll my eyes as Poole sits on his chair and he starts to bandage me, I move a little from the pain, but for the most part stay still, he just cuts the bandage off and then starts to clean, I can't do much but he wanted me to make sure the shirt stays up so it doesn't get in the way. I try to see a few times but each time I try to sit up a little to look it just hurts more, so eventually I stop. "Did Jekyll ask you to tell me anything?"

"He only asked what happened for you to receive such an injury, but I told him what happened. Neither of us understood though why you held the knife up for so long, not that we wanted you to hurt her. Would you happen to know?"

"I don't."

"You've been asking a lot about Jekyll, any particular reason why?"

"No. I'm just curious, why are you always in my business Poole? I didn't hire you."

"No but Jekyll did, and I am under his orders to watch you."

"I can't believe he's making me have a babysitter.."
