10 Long Years
Chapter 1: Hell in the Darkness
Moonlight shown through the window illuminating the darkness. A young brunette was fast asleep under the covers completely asleep and lost in his dream world. He seemed to be alone and harmless but he wasn't alone. Someone was watching him from the darkness, someone with cold vibrant green eyes and blonde hair. He'd been watching over the 10 year old brunette for years but kept hidden in the darkness. It didn't seem like he was in danger whatsoever, yet the blonde seemed like he needed to protect him from something, and what it was he didn't know. He did have to wait long since he hard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. He quickly backed away and went into the dark corner just as the door was kicked open and the young boy quickly woke up. He knew what was to happen and he desperately pleaded his father to not hurt him again but it earned him a sharp slap to the face. The blonde wanted to leave, wanted to run and forget about the young boy altogether but his heart told him not to. He watched with no emotion in his eyes he had fear and utter repulsion as he watched the brunette get brutally assaulted in a way no boy should EVER be forced into.
Finally the blonde had enough and took out a knife before running over and pulling the boy's father off him. Green eyes held pure anger and hatred as he repeatedly stabbed him over and over, even going to the extremes of gutting him slowly and painfully. And when he was done he stood up and went over to the young brunette who was crying uncontrollably on the bed. He removed his coat and wrapped him in it before picking him up and opening the window. Looking down he carefully maneuvered so he was on the ledge but still had the brunette in his arms. He swallowed nervously before jumping down and landing on the pavement, from there he ran off down the street into the darkness with the young boy in his arms.
10 years later...
A 20 year old doctor stood on a boat with his suitcase. A light breeze blew through his hair and he shut his eyes and sighed happily it had been years since he's returned to New York and he couldn't wait to see his friends again. He'd been away at medical school in London for so long that he wasn't sure if his friends were still around. But he had a dark past here and his friends knew that so they'd go a little easy on him. Jekyll however couldn't wait to see his close friends again, he knew things have changed and relationships have altered since he left, but they were still his friends. He saw his friends gathered on the dock and smiled widely before waving to them and picking up his suitcase and going down the steps. The doctor heard his friends calling to him and quickly began walking faster to them. Once off the boat he set his suitcase down and quickly ran towards them, a 25 year old silverette met him half way and the two embraced each other. And their friends ran up and caught them in a group hug.
"I missed you guys!" Jekyll smiled widely and then stepped back. "We've missed you too Dr Henry. How about we take you back to your hotel, get you settled in, then we'll go have fun to celebrate your return?" Lanyon smiled then Jekyll nodded before Aloysius picked up Jekyll's suitcase and the group began walking away from the docks. Jekyll looked back and noticed someone was watching him, someone with green eyes and blonde hair with a black streak and a neon green streak in his hair. But Lanyon put an arm around Jekyll's waist and led him away from the crowd.
