Author's Note: This is my first fanfic, so please read and review! I'm new to writing fanfiction, so any input will be gladly appreciated! Also, I know it seems to be solely Jekyll & Hyde right now, but there WILL be Newsies! I changed the setting of Jekyll & Hyde up to 1900, so that ages would line up right. Thanks!
Lucy's POV
London, The Red Rat, Midnight
This is it. I finally have a chance, thanks to Dr. Jekyll! A flash of lightning, and a figure appears by the door.
"Dearest Lucy" The figure utters.
Mr. Hyde! What's he doing here?
"What? You weren't expecting me?"
"No, sir" I reply, scared as anyone with half a brain would do if a man appeared behind her by surprise, even in my profession.
"But who else can I come to, for sympathy, tenderness?" I don't think I like this...
"What?! You've had another visitor this evening?" Oh, God, Dr. Jekyll's note! He'll know I'm leaving!
"No, not really sir" I should have left as soon as I got the note!
"It wasn't the doctor himself, was it? No, no, Henry Jekyll's such a very busy man." How does he know Dr. Jekyll?
"You know Dr. Jekyll?" I inquire.
"Know him? Oh we're close Lucy, very close... we share everything, he and I. Just and you and I do, my sweet, everything." What does he mean by that?
"What's this letter say? 'Leave this place, I beg you.' You wouldn't leave the city without saying goodbye, would you?" Just be a good girl, Lucy, and he'll go away. Then I can have the new life Dr. Jekyll gave me!
"No, sir. I'm not going anywhere." With you, that is...
"No, no. You're not going anywhere." He growls, pulling me to him. "Come here. No, closer!"
No, no, I don't like this, not one bit! What's he saying? Wait, he's singing...the tune, it's so familiar, so comforting...
"Sympathy..." A glint of steel, and and down it came..
NO! A blade, in my back...
"Tenderness, Warm as the summer..."
Pain...so much pain! It's like fire and ice...all at the same time.
"Offer you their embrace"
This isn't happening...this is just a dream!
"Friendliness, gentleness, Strangers to my life, They are there in his face."
No, no, no...falling...dark, dark, dark..
And everything went black.
"Goodness and sweetness, And kindness, Abound in this place!"
My name is Lucy Harris, and I was murdered by Mr Hyde.
Or so I thought.
