Fear

Hey, it's Aura. I'm uploading a new one-shot based off The Glass Scientists, a comic version of Jekyll and Hyde. You should really read it, it's really good.

Henry sighed as he sat in his chair. It had been a long day of work with the society and he needed a break. He looked down on his desk and noticed a 'few' documents he had to fill in for taxes. Jekyll groaned. He hated this time of the year. He soon shocked his head and sat up. No, he had to do this. Even though it was agonizingly boring, he had to. Not only to make sure the police would not close the building, but also to get a few thousand dollars back. (I'm using the U.S. Tax thing since I don't know anything about British taxes…then again I hardly know anything about American taxes, so maybe this wasn't the smartest idea.) In the mirror was Hyde, smirking at the doctor's discomfort. "You know you could just skip it for today. You could take the potion and I would go out and explore the town. You know, relax. I know you can never do it by yourself." Edward said. Jekyll sighed and then smiled. "Sure…but promise me you won't bother me for the next few days. I need to focus on these papers." Jekyll said. Hyde bowed. "Of course." Hyde said. Suddenly he disappeared from the mirror. Jekyll sighed. He wished Hyde would just disappear forever sometimes. 'But…then again I would never be able to go out on town like Hyde does. I would be stuck here…trapped in this dingy cage that is our home.' Jekyll thought then noticed a bit of Hyde's thoughts had mixed with his. Jekyll sighed.

'Just remember, Hyde is a part of you. If you forget this, bad things are bound to happen.' Jekyll thought then looked at his potions. He got up. Suddenly an idea came to his mind. 'But…what would happen if something went wrong? What if Hyde somehow finds a way to take over me without the potion? What if I turn back into Hyde before the night is through? It's bound to happen. But…I can't give up on it. I just feel too much joy when I'm Hyde. Much more than when I'm pushing papers as Jekyll.' Jekyll thought. He soon sighed. 'It's so strange calling myself Jekyll, but I guess I kind of have to since my normal self isn't at all like Edward.' Jekyll soon walked up to a cabinet, opened it, and grabbed a green potion. Jekyll looked at the mirror and sighed. He then drank the potion. He soon grunted in pain as he felt the transformation begin again. He soon fell unconscious as Hyde took over. After a few seconds, Edward woke up and yawned. He then stood up and stretched. He then looked at the mirror and chuckled. He soon grabbed his big black coat and hat, and put them on. Once done, he looked at himself in the mirror, where he sees Jekyll. "Just be careful." Jekyll said. Hyde snickered. "Of course, MOM, I will." Hyde said. Jekyll groaned. "Ugh. Really, you're comparing me to our mother?" Jekyll asked in annoyance. Hyde smirked. "Why not? You act like a mom to not only me but the other rouge scientists. I think it's fitting." Hyde said. Jekyll sighed. "Fine, but make sure this doesn't spread like the lover rumor. You're just lucky I'm not disproving it." Jekyll said with a pout. Hyde smiled. "Sure!" Hyde then rushed to the doors and ran out of Jekyll's office to have some fun.
