DISCLAIMER: I do not own and did not write this story. It is a copy of Original Book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have uploaded here because it was way better to read than the PDF I was given in school. But I decided to let it stay here to help spread the book to wider audiences. Hope you enjoy. ----- Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Longmans, Green and Co. Year: 1886 ----- It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. ------------

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

I'm trapped inside my body and I don't know where I am. The voices that I heard before are long gone and now there's only darkness. I don't know how long I've been lying here but suddenly I feel a presence beside me. I feel someone lean over me and I feel someone brush their lips against mine. I feel him trace his lips across my cheek to my ear and gently pull my earlobe into the hot cavern of his mouth. If I could've I would've sighed with pleasure. As if reading my thoughts I hear him sigh in my ear before he traces openmouthed kisses down my neck. When he reaches the vein in my neck I hear him inhale deeply, as if he's savoring my scent. "I miss you, Rose. Come back to me." This is my version of Sleeping Beauty. I've added a touch of fang to it - I hope you enjoy
