Henry and Edward
Chapter 2
Potion Math
Chapter start! (Third person! Also known as me! Lace! HI!)
Henry breathed, getting dressed; his father left him in his day clothes when Edward first appeared… So they stunk in Edwards's opinion…
Henry wondered down the steps, his other half quiet…
When he got down there, it was raining outside, and the entrance to the lab was closed off…
'I wonder if dad got dinner' Edward commented, Henry jumped slightly, not expecting the other voice in his head, "Is that was it's like to hear my voice?"
Edward chuckled, 'most likely, just more annoying' with that Henry rolled his eyes, but went to the lounge, when he got there, it was empty, but the thing that snapped the two from their thoughts was a stomach growling…
"I guess I haven't eaten since yesterday around lunch…" the teen thought out loud. 'So that's what it's called…'
After getting something to eat, Henry started around the large house his father owned, looking for him.
'Were could he have gone? It's raining out' Edward seemed to look around.
"I'm not sure, but let's check his room" Henry started up the steps once more, walking down the halls, and to his father's room, opening the door.
A note sat on the nicely made bed.
'Henry! Go read it!' Edward ordered his other half; "I was going to go read it anyways!" he steamed.
The note read: "Henry, I'll be back in a two days; I need to go get some items from France to make that potion once more so I can fix it. Please stay inside until I get back, and if you start feeling weird, write it down, I don't know what that potion did to you… See you then. ~James Jekyll"
'Well, I see he forgot about me!' Edward complained making Henry chuckle.
The two ended up reading by the fire until the rain let up when Edward suddenly shouted, making Henry drop the book, 'LETS GO OUTSIDE!'
"Edward! Father told us we shouldn't go outside yet!" Henry steamed, 'but come on! I was just born! Let me go oouutt!' he pleaded.
"Fine! But we're heading back if anything happened!" Henry got up, grabbing a cloak and hat because it was still raining a little.
He opened the door, and started down the street after locking it.
The teen let the rain dribble down, as he went to the shops, wondering around not knowing what to look at…
After some time, he started making his way back to the house, but decided to take the long way.
(It was Edward's idea)
They started down an ally, to cut over to the side road, which leads by a small park.
'Alright! So it'll take dad a few days to get back… lets go out tonight! It'll be fun!' Edward started, "umm… Ya, no we should get some rest, we don't know what that thing did to us, so let's take it easy!"
In a puddle, Edward looked at Henry, upset with the answer, 'But we-'
"No buts! We're heading home right now!" Henry stomped down the darkened alleyway.
"Henry!"
The teen stopped…
He turned slowly…
To see a man with blonde hair; he had a hat and cloak.
Ashton Crane.
"Hello Mr. Crane" Henry glared, "I see your up and about! What happened to the other one?" a smile creped upon his face.
"Edward? He's here" Henry turned fully to him.
'Hello' Edward waved.
"He can't hear you" Henry said downward quietly.
"What was that Dr. Jekyll?" Crane eyed the teen, 'That guy's a f-' "...shut up Edward..!"
Crane chuckled, "May I speak to him?" his eyes filled with bad intent.
"Sorry, but I don't know how to switch with him" Henry took a step back, getting ready to run, "Oh really?" Crane chuckled, "then how did you turn back?"
Henry's eyes narrowed, "i-it just happened like that!"
"Right…" a glare came from the man, "well… we'll be seeing you… around, Say hello to your father for me"
Henry eyed him, "okay..?" and started walking once more.
Instead of wondering around town, he went straight home, "I blame you" Henry stepped into his house, locking the door, and heading to the kitchen after taking off his wet cloak and hat.
'Right… I totally picked That alleyway' Edward rolled his eyes, "Shut up…" and with that, Henry started to make dinner.
A Week past and there was still no sign of James…
'He didn't go to France… did he?' Edward spat in Henrys mind, "I don't think so…"
'Are we going on an Investigation!?' Edward fantasized, "might as wells" Henry shrugged, 'Can I take over?' Edward pleaded.
"Edward! You know I don't know how!" Henry sighed as he put on his shoes.
'What if we try that potion again?' Edward sat over his shoulder, 'it did it last time'
"Ya, but for how long?" Henry looked around, 'it's worth a shot! Come on! PLEASE! For me~!' Edward asked hopefully.
"And what if it makes another you?" Henry sighed this time, eyes closed, 'We'll call him Steve' this comment made Henry snicker, "Alright, we'll try it, but no word to Father when he gets back!"
'Ya, I got you!' Edward's voice giggled happily, "And don't go too… crazy…" Henry started over to the lab's secret entrance, 'What!? It's not like we've been roomies for a week!'
"That's what I'm worried about…" The teen opened the secret entrance, going down, seeing the bottles that did the deed sitting next to hundreds of papers, on chairs, desks, and so on.
Henry made his way over, "This is it… right?" he questioned, 'yes! Just drink it!' Edward pleaded for freedom.
"Bottoms up…" Henry breathed drinking the substance…
…
Nothing…
"Edward I don-" he stopped, it kicking in, the teen crunched over, his body shrunk slightly, and the tips of his hair colored to a blonde.
When he looked up, a green liquid bled from his eyes and mouth…
"It worked!" the now Emerald eyed boy smiled. 'Wow, it really did…' muttered a voice in the back of his head.
"Alright! Now let's go!" Edward smiled, whipping the muck from his face, and running up the steps, heading to the front door.
'Wait wait wait!' Henry stopped him, "…What?" the teen in charge wined, 'maybe I have something that would actually fit you'
Edward looked down…
The clothes hung loosely, and bagged around him…
"I see your point…" and started up the steps.
After finding some clothes that would fit him better, he headed out the front door, and started down the road.
"Alright, were should we look first?" he questioned his other half, 'Not sure, but that Mr. Crane was suspicious…'
"Ya, he asked us to say hi to dad, but he's not… Oh…" Edward stopped, "Do you think he…"
'Yes Edward he kidnapped our father…' Henry gave a small glared from a window.
"Well you don't have to be mean! I really wasn't paying attention to that guy" he shrugged, "But again, were should we look first?"
'If you were just going to ask me were to go, then why did you want to test the potion?' Henry asked completely confused.
"Well one, I wanted to stretch my legs, and two who beat up the bad guys last time?" Edward gave a small chuckle to his comment, 'you…' "Exactly, now shut up"
'But I thought you wanted directions!' Henry basically yelled, "Gees, not so loud!, but yes, that would be nice"
An eye roll from the inner voice, 'Alright! So let's ask around about Mr. Crane'
"Alright, to the Square!" Edward smiled, running over…
When he got there, it was packed with people, going to ships, and buying stuff.
The teen started to walk around, asking people is they know where to find a "Mr. Crane" so far they all said no…
'Edward! Hide!' Henry yelled, "What why?" Edward asked confused, 'It's Robert!'
"Oh… he won't recognize me… right..?" Edward turned away from Henry's friend.
But then a "HEY HENRY!" made the smaller teen start to sprint.
Later, when Edward knew that Robert was no longer in the square, he headed back, and started to ask around once more…
He soon went up to a bigger man, "Excuse me Sir" Edward asked, he turned, "Yes?" the bigger man looked down, "I was wondering if you have any idea where a Mr. Crane was?"
The man he asked was in his late 20s, and had light brown hair, with grayed eyes.
The man's eyes widened, taking a look around, he grabbed Edwards's skinny arm, and dragged him to an alleyway off to the side of the market like square.
"Who are you" his eyes narrowed, Emerald met gray, "E-Edward"
The man's big hand still wrapped around the teen's small wrist, "Edward WHAT" he leaned in, "Edward…" 'Jekyll come on Edward!'
"Ah… Hide..?"
"Ahide?"
"Umm… no, Hyde" Edward smiled, "Edward Hyde"
"Never heard of you" the man leaned back, "I'm new here"
"Alright, then why are you asking for Ashton Crane?" the man still gripped Edward's whist hard, making the teen wince.
"Hey! I told you my name! What's yours?" his emerald eyes narrowed, "Detective John Utterson" he glared.
"Wonderful! A Detective! Henry this is exactly what we need!" Edward smiled big, 'EDWARD!' "What?" his smile faded after seeing Utterson's face.
"What are you playing at?" his eyes narrowed, "A …friend of mine… has been missing for a week, and we think Crane knows something" Edward's eyes narrowed, "A Detective could get the information I need"
"What's this friend's name son?" Utterson looked at the teen.
"James Jekyll"
(L. Note; I want to end it here sooooo badly… but I'll be nice… THIS TIME! *Evil laugh*)
His eyes widened, finally letting go of the teen's arm, Edward rubbed it, "some grip you got there…" he muttered.
"I thought it was a rumor…" Utterson breathed, "oh no, it's not a rumor, that's why I'm out here looking for any clues to find him!" the brown and blonde haired boy steamed.
"Alright Mr. Hyde, we'll go to my place to talk in privet, come along" Utterson started to walk, Edward followed with a small smile…
On the walk over Utterson kept looking behind him, like someone was there, but no one really was…
They made their way to a big building, when they got there, Utterson opened the door, letting the small teen in, then closing the door from behind, he continued to walk, and Edward followed.
People stopped, and looked up, theirs eyes met, but still continued to walk, Edward didn't know what this place was, but he'll get an answer soon.
They started up some steps, and at the third flight, they entered a hall, then at the end, the two went into a room.
"Gees, long walk to get to a ro-" Edward stopped his comment when he saw the room wasn't empty; four men stopped their argument as soon as the teen entered the room.
Utterson came in afterwards, closing the door, "Evening Gentlemen" he said, going to his desk and sitting down.
They all looked at Edward…
"Come on you all! This is Edward Hyde, He has some news for us" Utterson gestured to the boy.
"Umm… Y-ya! I'm here to ask for ah… Help finding James Jekyll, he has been missing for a week, and I believe Ashton Crane is… involved..?" Edward shrugged, not knowing what to say after being thrown under the bus by Utterson.
'Smoooth' Henry laughed in his head.
"…like you could do better…" Edward muttered under his breath.
"Ah, Mr.… Hyde… how old are you…" the man with a browned hat asked, "A week! I ah… mean 17" he smiled.
You could just hear Henry's laughter…
"He must be lying" the man with long silver hair pulled in a ponytail turned away sour. "Excuse me?" Edward uttered up, the man's eyes were a dark brown, and they met Edwards Emerald eyes.
"I don't believe you, Child" he spat, eyes narrowing as he leaned into the teen.
Edward stepped on his foot hard, "is this what I get for trying to get help? Gees! I should just go out and investigate by myself!" he started to the door.
"Edward please" Utterson spoke, the hot headed teen turned, "that is Sir William, he has been appointed to help me by the police."
Utterson gestured to the man with the brown hat, "That is Mr. Planter"
He then gestured to another man, one standing in the back "This is Mr. Sebastian"
Then to the man sitting in the chair in front of Utterson's desk, "And Mr. Jasper"
Jasper waved slightly, he seemed to be one of the youngest there.
"Hello" Edward waved.
(L. Note! You guys are so lucky I want to get to a curtain part in this chapter! AHH!)
After Edward told them that James was missing for a week, and the fact Crane was the last one over before he went missing, the now six men… Er… five men and a teen pondered what action they should take.
"I think Mr. Hyde here should head home, and let us take care of it" Sebastian spat as he looked out the window, all eyes shot to him.
But then three of the other adults softened, "you have a point, he is just a child" Planter eyed the teen, "are you really 17? You don't look your ages…" his eyes narrowed.
Edward steamed, "Oh Course I Am! How Old Are You All!?"
"62" Stocked Sir William
"29" Utterson sighed
"38" Sebastian rolled his eyes
"45" Planter pulled his hat down
"21…" Jasper looked down, then away, eyes fell upon him, "See I'm not that young!" Cried Edward.
Utterson sighed, "Jasper, you can walk Mr. Hyde home, then you can head home yourself, we will tell you what we have resulted to in the morning"
"I'll send a friend to talk the details with you then" Edward gave a smirk, "you're not coming yourself?" Utterson turned with a shock along with everyone else.
"Nah, he'll be here tomorrow morning ah… 9 o'clock sharp!" a smirk, the adults eyes rolled.
Jasper got up and started to leave with Edward, the Adults looked at each other after he left.
"Strange kid" uttered Sir William, "he reminds me of someone, but I can't think of whom…"
Edward and Jasper walked, it was a twilight outside. The sun setting slowly.
"Umm… I'm going to run home, you have fun" Edward sighed, not liking the extra baggage as his head got muggy. "BYE!"
And he started to sprint, leaving the poor boy behind, who ran in another direction.
'So ah… you picked the last name Hyde?' Henry questioned, "I-I panicked! You think up a last name on the spot!"
'Alright, Smith, Johnson, Brown, oh, and I don't know, maybe my own last name? Jekyll?' Henry said dryly, "what? Do you want someone to plainly call you Jekyll?" Edward glared.
'Better than Hyde!' the other slammed back.
"Are we going there?"
'Might as well Hyde…'
"Okay Jekyll"
With an eye roll Edward smirked as he ran to the door of his house…
"Henry!" a voice called, and Edward stopped dead in his tracks.
"Wrong person!" Edward stepped into the building, "Wrong?" the voice stuttered, "Yup! Good Night!" he started to close the door.
"Hey! But that's Henry's house!" a boy ran over, "Ya I know" Edward closed it.
'Hey! That's Robert Lanyon!' Henry yelled in Edwards mind, "I know" he smirked, "Hey~" they heard the other teen yell behind them.
Edward locked the door after entering, and started up the steps, but fell half way up.
A grown left his mouth, and his body began to grow, his hair turned fully brown once more, within seconds he had become Henry…
His clothes were tight, and he just lay on the wooden steps…
Falling asleep as he did…
Chapter end!
Gosh darn it Henry! Don't sleep on the steps! Edward! DO SOMETHING!
Edward; "nah, I'm going to wake him up at 8:30 so I can watch him scramble, it'll be fun to watch"
EDWARD! COME ON!
