Disclaimer: I don't own Henry Jeklly (Wish I did!) or his friends. They belong to belong to Robert Louis Stevenson. Jacqueline is mine though (she is based a little on me Ally, but this isn't a Mary Sue, I swear!)
A/N: I am so stressed out from finals so I thought I'd try a little therapy. I am working on a show next fall, so it may be weeks before this gets finished. If you want to flame me, go ahead but I won't listen so there. If you don't like Time travel stories don't read them! Enjoy!
Love and Time
May 16th, 1823
Dear Henry, You always wanted the truth from me, and here it is. Within the pages of this book is my story. However, strange or wonderful it may seem, it is all-true. I want you to understand me as I have tried to understand you. I am no longer the women you met. You have changed me for the better and for that I am glad. But I could not remain with you forever. Things between us just were too much. I want you to remember the best of me. I hope that when you read this book you will think of me. I am and will always be yours.
Love,
Jacqueline
Dr. Henry Jekll put down the letter and sighed, nothing made any sense anymore. "Why did she leave?" He sighed again. There just seemed to be more questions than answers. The handsome doctor just couldn't not understand why she would leave him and for what reason. Then, he thought looking down at the book in his lap; there was the book. What secrets did it hold? For so longer he had been asking her for the truth and now here it was. But then again maybe he should leave well enough alone. "What the hell are you thinking?" "She knew about Hyde and she trusted you, and know she is trusting you with her story."
Henry picked up the book and was about to open the cover when a knock came on the door. "It's open John come in!" He called. A few moments later his best friend John Utterson entered the room. "How in the devil did you know it was me." For a while there was no answer. "Henry are you all right?" He asked. "She's gone." John was puzzled. "Who do you mean?" Henry turned to look at him. "Jacqueline, I came down this morning and she was gone." "What!" "All she left was this note and a book." Henry handed the letter to his friend and watched him as he read it. When he was finished John looked up and asked, " Are you going to read it?" " I was about to when you came in." John looked surprised for a moment "Is that all, your not going to go after her." "Why should I, she doesn't want to be found." John looked at the small leather book in Henry's lap. "I still don't understand, we were about to be married." John shook his head; "She had everything why throw it all away."
Henry nodded, "I'm hoping the book will tell me." John smiled, "Then I will leave you to it my friend." Henry listened to his friends footsteps fade away and looked at the book "Well little thing lets see what you have to say. And he opened the cover.
