I do not own the lyrics used in this One-Shot. They are from "The Confrontation" (Jekyll and Hyde).
Jared lay on the couch, staring at the ceiling. The Teague part of him had been killed thanks to Mina and Jared was finally back. It was definitely an odd feeling, however. Having half of you gone was pretty strange, even if it was what everyone wanted. The prince sat himself up and walked over to his bedroom when he thought he saw something in the bathroom mirror. He cautiously walked in and in there, in the mirror, he saw what he feared more than anything. The set of eyes that stared back at him in the mirror were not there usual shade of grey, instead they were a rich, royal blue. He turned on the sink and splashed the chilling water on his face before looking back at the mirror.
"Do you really think that I would ever let you go?" The sick, sadistic grin stared back at Jared. "Do you think I'd ever set you free?" He taunted. "If you do, I'm sad to say, it simply isn't so. You will never get away from me!" His laugh was almost like a cackle.
"All that you are is a face in the mirror! I close my eyes and you'll disappear!" Jared shouted back.
"I'm what you face when you face in the mirror! Long as you live, I will still be here!" Teague reached through the reflective glass as though reaching for Jared.
Jared's eyes widened in fright and he ran and locked himself in his room. "All that you are is the end of a nightmare! All that you are is a dying scream! After tonight, I shall end this demon dream!" He shouted, his back to the door.
A loud banging came at the door accompanied by Teague's demonic taunting. "This is not a dream, my friend and it will never end! This one is the nightmare that goes on! I am here to stay, no matter what you may pretend and I'll flourish, long after you're gone!"
Jared shut his eyes and covered his ears with his hands. This was not happening... This couldn't be happening. Mina killed Teague! Fate, he really needed Mina right now... "Soon you will die, and my silence will hide you! You cannot choose but to lose control." Jared spoke with false bravado.
"You can't control me! I live deep inside you! Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!" Suddenly Teague was crouched right in front of Jared, a hand tilting his chin up.
"I don't need to survive, as you need me!" Jared shoved Teague off and the dark prince fell to the ground, allowing Jared to stand up above him. "I'll become whole as you dance with death! And I'll rejoice as you breathe your final breath!"
Teague gave a low, dark chuckle as he stood eye-to-eye with his brother. "I'll live inside you forever!"
"No!"
"With the story itself by my side!"
"No!"
"And I know that, now and forever, they'll never be able to separate the dark prince from the light!"
"Can't you see it's over now? It's time to die!" He grabbed Teague by the collar of his shirt and lifted him off the ground. This had to stop.
"No, not I! Only you!" Teague fought against Jared's grasp.
"If I die, you die, too!"
"You'll die in me, I'll be you!" He kicked Jared in the stomach, causing him to release his grip.
"Damn you, Teague! Set me free!" He demanded.
"Can't you see, you are me?" Teague walked slowly towards Jared, like a lion stalking its prey. Jared shuffled to the corner of the room and backed himself against the wall.
"No! Deep within me-"
"I am you! You are Teague!"
"No... Never!" Jared clutched the sides of his head and tried to shake the thoughts away. He couldn't become like Teague!
"Yes, forever!"
"God damn you, Teague! Take all your evil deeds, and rot in hell!"
Teague paused for a moment before a Cheshire Cat smile appeared on his lips. "I'll see you there, Jared."
"Never!" Jared sat straight up in his bed, sweaty and panting. He stopped to catch his breath and looked around the room for any sign Teague had been there. He jumped out of his bed and dashed to the bathroom, staring into the mirror. He breathed a sigh of relief as a pair of stormy Grey eyes stared back at him. He was safe for now, he wouldn't hurt Mina, he wouldn't hurt anyone. Jared walked back to bed and fell back asleep, the first peaceful sleep he'd had since the separation.
