"What might've you and Mr. Utterson been talking about back there?" She asks quietly.

"Oh.. we were talking about the past, and I mentioned something about the outside that I might change, that's all."

"That sounds nice, perhaps you two could get to know each other a little more?"

"That sounds like a lovely idea." Utterson says. He must've heard our conversation. "Perhaps you and I can talk while we walk?"

"Of course sir, shall we?" I stand and gesture him to as well. Utterson follows the gesture and we walk off. Once we pass I few corners, I lower my head a little. "Mr. Utterson.. I'm really sorry for what happened out there... I really didn't mean it."

"What is wrong with you?"

I look to him. "I-I'm sorry?"

"I asked what's wrong with you. You became very mean towards me. How much have you hurt Henry?"

"I haven't hurt-"

"How many have you killed?"

I stay silent to this question. How do you answer something like that?

"How many are dead because of you Edward Hyde?!" We've stopped and he's turned to my direction. I feel something rising inside of me. It feels like the evil from before, but it doesn't want me to realize. It's slowly growing.. "Answer my questions! What on earth is wrong with you?! Why do you kill?! why do you hurt people?! How many are dead because of your sadistic hands?!"

"Please..." I say. "I-I don't want it to get worse..." I can only stare at the ground.

"What to get worse? Are you a psychopath or something? Because you seem very unstable and violent."

Click... there it is. It's exceeded my limits.. the words fill me. Unstable, psychopath, violent, and others.. they fill my soul and I feel the change. Sometimes I wish Billy were still here! The only person harder to fight than Billy is myself...

"Uh oh." I say.

"What?" He asks. Still a little angry.

"I think someone, has pulled the trigger on the gun." I look up to him.

"You, you have that same look as you did when we were outside."

"That's because you've pulled the trigger! You've let me loose! Helped the darker side out are you happy?!" I smile almost maniacally at him.

"Mr. Hyde stop this at once! You can't do anything to me!"

"Oh yeah? I thought you were the one begging to be hurt." I wait a moment, but then swiftly shove him against the wall. "I think someone wanted to meet the old Edward Hyde!!!" I yell. Utterson kicks me in the gut and I back off. 

"You won't hurt me!" Utterson pulls out a knife.

"Ah, knife against strength. This will be fun." I smile wickedly at him.

Utterson runs to me first, but I dodge and shove him to the wall. "You thought it'd be that easy?"


Jekyll's POV

"Edward and I spend much time together. It's nice to have someone like him. He's kind and I can tell him concerning's that I couldn't tell others."

"That sounds lovely Dr. Jekyll!" Lanyon says.

"It is. Robert, how are you? How is your healing process?"

"It's wonderful and painless. Y/N has been doing a fine job on helping me."

"That's wonderful. May I sa-agh-mphm!!" I cover my mouth in the middle of the scream, but a sharp pain had hit me in my stomach, as if someone had just kicked me.

"Dr. Jekyll are you okay?" Y/N asks. 

"I-I'm fine.. wh-where's Edward?" I just noticed he's gone. 

"He and Mr. Utterson went to talk."

"John?..." I look at the table just trying to breathe. Then I try to see through Edward's eyes, after a moment I succeed.

I feel pain, I think Edward is feeling it. John looks like he's had a fight. But other than the pain, I feel something else too. Some type of rage or anger.

"Tell me now! What have you done to people! What have you done to Henry?!"

"I already told you. I. Haven't. Done. ANYTHING!!!" Edward runs and shoves John to the wall. But John retaliates and knees Edward hard in the gut, which I feel the pain too and flinch. Edward backs in pain, but then the anger leaves for a moment. "Utterson please. A-Agh.. you have to help me! Make this stop! I-I don't want to hurt-.. a-agh... oh gosh no i-it's coming back!" The rage fills us again and Edward smiles.

"I can't, let you, near Henry!" John runs towards Edward and slams him to the wall with a hand on Edward's neck, choking him, I begin to feel it. But the knife, not understanding where it is, John cuts Edward on the side, and I feel that pain.

"Agh!" I almost yell.

"Henry something's wrong." Robert says. I am pulled out of that, still feeling the pain and the hand trying to kill me.

"I-I have to find E-Edward." I say, trying to not sound like I'm choking. I stand and Y/N stands too. She gives me a 'I'm coming' look and I agree. We both go off looking for them. I can't really breathe as it is, but suddenly the force gets tighter, completely cutting off my airflow! I fall to my knees holding my neck and Y/N gets to me. 

"Henry! What's happening?!"

I force my way into Edward's vision and notice a painting on the wall. I now know where they are because I only have on of those paintings and it's around a couple corners from here. If I can make it that far... Y/N helps me up. "It'll be okay! We'll find him! We'll stop this!" She says.

I lightly nod as the room begins to spin, I can only take agonizingly slow steps. It hurts to move, but if I don't stop John he'll kill both of us!

"Henry you're turning purple!" Y/N yells.

I can only continue to try walking, but soon that even fails me. I fall to my knees and begin trying to crawl. The pain inside, and not being able to breathe is killing me. Everything is going fuzzy. I can hardly see where I am anymore. I make a motion for Y/N that tells her to go around the corner because I don't think I'll make it. I notice Y/N nod and she runs around the corner. 


Your POV

I run around the corner to see Utterson choking Hyde.
"Utterson stop it!" I yell. He looks at me.

"Y/N.. I'm sorry but do you know how many people he's killed?!"

"I do but I don't care!" I run to him and rip his hand off of Edward's neck. "You're hurting Edward!" Edward takes a gasp of air, but Utterson then shoves me aside and begins choking Edward with both hands now. "He's killed and hurt too many! He needs to die!!"

"No!-" I look and notice Jekyll crawling around the corner, he must've gotten some air too. I run to Henry and help him stand and begin walking over with him. "Utterson you have to stop! You're killing both of them!!!"

"What do you mean?!" He looks in my direction angrily, but notices Henry. Henry looks incredibly weak and as if he's on his last thread of life. Edward is almost passed out. 

"Please stop! You'll kill both of them if you kill Edward! Please!" I feel myself crying now. I can't lose Edward, or Henry. They're some of my only friends.

Utterson looks hesitant. Suddenly Henry collapses to the floor. "HENRY" I scream, "PLEASE UTTERSON I'M BEGGING YOU, LET THEM BREATHE!!!" I'm full on crying at this point. Utterson looks between the two, but when he looks at Henry for a third time and sees that he'll die too, he lets Edward go and Edward collapses as well. I give out a cry/sigh of relief and crawl to Edward.
