Henry and Edward
Chapter 1
Youth
So I watch the ITV Jekyll and Hyde TV show, and that's what the Mansion/Lab looks like… and the face that Hyde is a bit stronger… I thinks' that's all…
Chapter start! (Third person)
12 year old Henry Jekyll smiled up to his father, the boy was a genius, and had already gotten into medical school, and his father walked him to… Collage that day…
His father, James, was working on a way to make someone good, completely destroying the evil in the soul.
(L. note; aahh… I don't remember if they ever told us his father's name… sooooo enjoy? It's now James. Deal with it. (…don't hate me…))
But for now, Henry was going to school, and when he was home, he would help get stuff from the garden or shops for his father.
Years passed, and James was getting class to his goal.
Henry was now out of medical school, and helping his father, at the age of 17, no one wanted a teen to do their surgery, so they said when he was older, they would love to have him at the hospital, or more like when he's around 20.
So for now, Henry Jekyll is helping his father with his life work.
To rid the evil from the world.
Henry sat happily in the Laboratory, spinning in a stool high chair, as his father was mixing chemicals.
The older man was sweating, fear shown well on his face.
"Hey, H-Henry" James looked up slowly, but his brown and red eyes met Henrys scarlet irises, "Can you head into town, and grab me some…" his eyes shifted, "Rosemary… and can you also pick up some more tea leaves?" the twos eyes locked once more.
The teen sighed, "Sure" and got up, "Is that it?" Henry smiled as he walked up the steps from the basement lab, "Or do you want me to pick up dinner too?" the boy laughed.
"Dinner would be nice, thanks" James gave a small laugh, and Henry closed the door with a smirk.
After he left, James shook his head, "I'm sorry… Henry…" he breathed quietly…
Five big men opened the door to the lab, and marched down the steps, James looked up, then down, fiddling with whatever was in his hands.
They all stepped around him, and one more man walked in, "Hello, James" he smiled, and started to him, the man had a long coat, his hair a shade of blond, and eyes a brown color.
"I see you sent your boy off to… get you dinner" he chuckled.
The man walked around the lab, James eyed him. "Is it done?" he turned to the scientist…
James looked down, hesitant…
"Is. It. Done?" the man looked him in the eye.
"It's almost done, I just need to test if it works, i-it might be wrong…" he shook his head, looking away, "Wrong?"
"I Need Time" James looked back, "Time? Well, you have until your son gets back" he chuckled.
James took a breath, "Oh, and one more thing" the man smiled, "We'll be staying"
"What's for dinner?"
With Henry~~
Henry walked down the road, a paper bag in his hands, the day was sunny, but clouds in the sky loomed rain.
He walked around, looking through the shops…
"Henry!" someone called, and the teen turned, "Oh! Robert!"
It was a darker skinned boy around Henry's age, the two were best friends!
The two smiled, and started walking, they talked for some time, but when they got to the road that lead to Henry's house, his friend branched off.
The boy unlocked the door, and stepped in, "I'm Back!" he called, closing the door.
Sealing his fate…
The boy walked into the kitchen, letting the bag down, then grabbing the final ingredient, and walking to the secret entrance to the lab, which was open because James was home.
He stepped down the steps, and found his father looking over some notes.
"Hey dad" he smiled, and James looked up, his eyes landing on the older teen, his face running pale.
"H-hello Henry" he put the notes down.
"Come on, you need to take a break for once, your paler than usual" the teen laughed, handing the final ingredient to his father, and hitting him his spinny chair, but almost missing.
"Did you move my chair?" he looked up, scotching his chair to the left slightly. "N-no, I'm just… working, i-its fine" his father stuttered…
"Right…" the boy rolled his eyes, "So when are you going to try testing?" Henry smiled, leaning in.
"O-oh, I wanted to start testing tomorrow, but I might… never mind" James shook his head, mixing the rosemary into the solution; he looked into it, making the bottle sway in his hand…
"Anyway…" he swallowed, "It's done…" he closed his eyes, "H-Henry" the teen gave the smile, "can you get Dinner ready?" the teen stood, "Ya, I'm glad you finished it" Henry started to the steps.
"Oh! My Dear James!" a voice sang, making the two Jekyll's stop…
"I'm So Glad You Finished The Potion!" they turned, the man smiled, "Hello Dr. Jekyll, I don't think we have met! My name is Ashton Crane"
(L. Note; I don't think that's anyone in the actual book, or anything… please correct me if I'm wrong! He is my villain… er… don't read that… Never mind…)
Henry took a step back, "Hello Mr. Crane" the older teen took a breath.
"Mr. Jekyll, did you never tell the good doctor about… us?" his voice a fake shocked. "I'm disappointed"
"You wanted the potion, take it and leave" James looked down, placing the concoction on the table.
"Oh no James! We want to know if it works!" he laughed, "I want to know if it really gets rid of all evil!" he turned, "you said… it might… not work though…"
James blinked, "Yes, but that's because I'm still doing research…" he tried to explain.
"Yes, but we're going to test it for you… might… make you pick up the pace…" Crane smiled, it was cold.
"Grab the boy" it faded, and three of the five men grabbed Henry and dragged him to the man in the coat; Ashton Crane.
"What are you going to do?" James breathed, the two other men holding him back now, Crane gave him a smile, picking up the potion.
"Hello Henry, was it?" Crane swayed the bottle, "Hello" the older teen nodded.
"Hold. His. Head."
"NO PLEASE! ANYONE BUT HIM!" James cried, Henry finally picking up on what was going on, he struggled to the older men's grip.
Crane's eye brows moved up and down, then turned to the teen, pushing the greened liquid to his lips.
"Don't Drink It!" James screamed, cried and pleaded…
They forced the liquid down the boys throat, "There, the dye has been cast" he gave a smile to James…
For a moment everyone was still, but then Henry groaned…
All eyes fell on the 17 year old.
"Hold him!" Crane yelled, walking around, Henry started to scream, a green liquid draining from his eyes and mouth, the tips of his hair blonde, and grow quickly.
His body went limp for a moment…
And when he looked up, his eyes were no longer a scarlet red, but an Emerald green.
He looked around, seeing James, then Crane, and the five big men, then he looked down, swaying slightly,
The new boy stepped back hard on the man's foot who held his head, letting go, the boy then jabbed his elbow into the other man's stomach, making him stumble as well, slipping free, the boy turned punching two of them, then round house kicking the last.
The blond tipped boy turned, wiping the green goop off his face.
"Hello" Crane smiled at the boy, "I've said Hello to you at least five times, can you PLEASE say something else" the boy said annoyed.
"Ah yes, but that was to Henry Jekyll, but you… your something… Different…" Crane smiled, "Something… More"
"Thanks for the flattery, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend" he glared, "Get out of here"
James's eyes followed the two with his eyes.
"Let my father go, pick up your horrible henchmen, and get out" his emerald eyes followed Crane.
Crane gave one last laugh, and turned to his men holding James, "Let him go, and pick up those idiots, and James! We'll be back!" the men walked over and picked up their friends, and walked to the stairs.
"Goodbye… Dr. Jekyll"
And with that, they left. The boy's face reddened, "I Am Definitely Not Hen-" he paled, the rush of adrenalin faded, and the boy felling to his knees, James jumped to grab the blonde tipped boy.
The boy was asleep the moment he hit his father arms.
James looked down, tears fell, "Henry… I'm sorry…"
-LINE BREAK!-
The next morning the blonde tipped haired boy's eyes opened slowly…
His head felt muggy, and like he was fading away…
'About time you woke up!' a voice echoed, he looked around, "Well I'm sorry I'm not sure what happened" the younger looking teen said sarcastically.
'Okay, but what are we going to do!? I'm like this! And… and… you! …who are you?" the voice was wavy, "Who am I!? Who are you!?" the other shouted.
'SSHHH! You'll wake up our Father!'
The longer haired boy blinked, sitting up, noticing he was in a bed, and James, who had fallen asleep on the bed side.
"Oh… Father… huh…" he blinked…
'A-anyway, my name's Henry Jekyll, and what's your name?' The voice, Henry said in their head.
The boy stopped, "M-my name?" he breathed…
"I don't have one…"
'…Well… Then we'll have to give you one!' Henry seemed to smile. The other rolled his eyes, looking to the side, but found a mirror; on the other side was a fully brown haired, red eyed boy.
The other blinked, pulling at his hair, seeing it still had the platinum blonde tips, he relaxed. "I'm find without one" he crossed his arms.
(L. note: AAHHH! JUST TAKE THE NAME! its hard writing for someone with no name!)
"No you're not" the boys head whipped down to James, who seemed to have been listening, "Excuse me?" the teen looked at the man.
"Yes, you need a name, and it seems your talking to yourself, but I'm not going to call you Henry" James looked up, his eyes had bags, showing the lack of sleep, and puffy, from the tears.
"Right, Henry… he's right there" the teen pointed to the mirror, when James's eyes followed he shook his head, "no… that's you…"
Henry and the teen looked at each other…
"That's strange…" the two said at the same time…
"Anyway… let's give you a name!" James gave a weak smile, the boy glared, 'I can help too! Just tell father what I say okay?' "mmmkay…" emerald eyes blinked. "Also Henry says hi, I'll… talk for him…"
I can't believe I'm doing this… the nameless boy thought sourly.
"Alright! Let's see… William"
"No"
'Charley?'
"No"
"Sam"
"No"
'Steve?'
"No"
"Kandy?"
"NO!" 'NO!' the two yelled at the same time.
"Edwin"
"Ha! No"
'How about Edward?'
"Edward?" the teen blinked…
"Nah, how about Howard?" James tried to get them to keep going, "No, I think I like Edward" he nodded.
"Okay" James nodded, "But Edward what… I'm not going to be Edward Jekyll! Hmm…" the boy thought…
Edward looked down his blonde tips a mob on his head…
"We'll figure that out later…" he shook his head, things were getting foggier…
"No, no Edward! You could be a Jekyll too!" James gave a bit bigger smile, "it could… it could be fun…"
"N-no… my… his… our head" Edward spat, now holding it, his hair browned, and shortened, he grow slightly, and eyes closed, he groaned, his voice became slightly deeper.
When he opened his eyes once more the emerald green was now a scarlet red.
He blinked.
"Father?" the boy looked up.
It was Henry.
