This is going to be my second story but it's not going to be a constant update as I'm still working on my where do I go from here, I will also be starting my Gwen 10 story as well next week stay tuned for more updates see the end for more notes.
HYDES POV
Freedom sweet glorious freedom the feeling of euphoria running through my veins it's like electricity but only more intense this wonderful feeling of being free I'm not exactly sure if the experiment was a success the remaining of the hj7 I feel it on my clothes and mouth, the rest lays on the ground in a puddle with a bunch of broken glass it takes me a few tries but I manage to crawl to the full body mirror something wasn't right within myself. Looking up Instead of meeting chestnut brown hair and red eyes I'm met with long shaggy blonde hair and green blazing eyes my clothes I currently wear swim around me I raise a shaky hand to the mirror the moment I place my hand against the cold glass something inside me feels like it splits away from me, my shadows start swarming to the mirror coming together into a jumble mess until finally it takes a humanoid form.
The figure I see is staring back at me is my old self with the red eyes the look on my well "his" face is completely shocked not exactly expecting this outcome for some reason that strikes something in me as I begin to chuckle I stand on shaky legs being careful to not fall I stand at full height I notice I'm smaller than the other me by a good couple of inches, I look him dead in the eyes we stand there for a good for seconds before he manages a weak do do you understand me I give him a nod not letting go of my grin. I'm not sure what this exactly is or why I'm behind this mirror I can't say if the experiment has worked or failed do you remember what we were trying to do I think back it's hard to with all these new feelings and sensation's going through me but I focus the memories of trying to separate the good and evil in mankind comes to me so once again I nod my head at his questions, hmm perhaps I may have accomplished that goal but with a different side effect I wasn't expecting but the question remains are you the good in me or the evil In my soul? Honestly I haven't even been talking to this other me or whatever but already I'm getting bored and annoyed with him I turn to the window the grin on my face turns into a full blown smile as I realize what I want to do I want to experience being free without any thoughts or cares about anything all the boring shit I particular won't care for can stay in the mirror I'm not sure how long ill last or if this is a onetime thing, if that's the case I don't want to spend my time speaking to some boring old grump I let out my first words since being "born" FFFFRRRREEEEEEEE.
With a burst of energy I sprint to the window doing all but ripping the windows open I jump on the window still looking at the full moon in all its glory the moon is free at night without the sun there to bother it I'm going to make ever second count experience new things till my heart contents, I faintly hear the other me in the background yelling for me to get back there I already now he's going to be of no help and just kill all the fun I could make forgetting I'm on the window still I make a step as I let out another IM FREEE- before realizing I was standing on the window I go crashing into a bush of black berry's instantly I'm covered in berry juice I'm a little annoyed by that but before I can make a move the windows above me open and pops out a figure. My goodness where did you come from I know that voice its Racheal's she looking down on me concern and curiosity spreads all over her face waiting for a response for a moment im about to ask her what does she mean than I remember the boring side of me is still trapped in the mirror upstairs quickly thinking of a response that she would buy and make me sound like a complete badass and not some kind of Loon I go into detail about how I'm the inner darkness of all sin and desire the wickedness and shadows off all man kind the best yet I'm the spirit of London at night which has a lovely sinister ring to i, the look on her face says it all i nailed it without a singular problem especially on the first try I see and does the spirit of London at night have a name?
Its.. err.. Ok that one I didn't expect but no matter the spirit of London at night is always thinking on he's feet no matter what the situation is having to hide or having to lie my way out of any situation actually hiding hide Hyde that sounds good i like it and for a first name something simple hmm Edward Edward Hyde that sounds believable enough to me HYDE Edward Hyde ,well Mr. Hyde its very nice to meet you would you like some cookies? Damn not even existing for more than 10 minutes and already I'm a master at fooling people she not only buys the name she suspects nothing as she offers me cookies the smell of chocolate chip coats my nose the rest is all but a blur, 2 years later and our first encounter never gets old it may be because she was the first person i saw after being 'reborn" or the cookies i have a sweet tooth after all but that memory is perhaps my favorite one.
Right now the both of us are just taking a small break laying on the roof of the society by the chimney the both of us are tangled together my head on her shoulder my torn cape underneath us she has one arm around me while her right arm is behind her head we just got finished from having some of our usual fun Jekyll has been a pain in my arse about not letting me out and having my fun keeps telling me he doesn't have enough time, with the exhibition being a few months away blah blah blah a bunch of boring shit I didn't really care to remember it took me days to finally have him agree to let me out on this special day today is my 2 year anniversary since I was finally set free and meeting Racheal again this time as Edward Hyde not Henry Jekyll. Racheal was working in the kitchen when i came through the window the moment she saw me she immediately jumped at me giving me a back breaking hug besides Racheal I don't let anyone hug me like this after all no one is special to me like Racheal my well she's the closets thing I have to family she's always been taking care of me buying me clothes feeding me when i get to tired or lazy to cook for myself or if I get some bruises from my nightly activity's she insisted on treating ever scrape or bruise, at times I can sneak her out of the kitchen and go exploring the streets of London at night while only the scared or weak minded stay inside their homes we are out and about going to bars getting shit faced picking up random people she defiantly fun to be with but isn't afraid when to put her foot down.
As we lay there looking at the night sky just taking in all the stars and night sky I cant help but snuggle closer to her she's the only person i will ever trust on this level to let my guard down, I just make sure she doesn't know after all I do have my reputation to maintain I can't let anyone think the spirit of London at night is going soft. I look up at her she has her eyes closed but is on high alert just as a precaution she keeps a butchers knife somewhere in her dress I'm not exactly sure how she does that but it's pretty cool and you never know what kind of people you will see at night so better safe than sorry I guess, after tonight I'm not sure when I'll be let out again so I wanna crame as much fun as possible before I have to go back into the mind scape for now that's future Hyde's problem present Hyde wants to go do something else before the night is over I have to let Rachel go so she can get a few hours of shut eye considering she has to get up at 5:30 to prepare breakfast for all the lodgers.
Taking a quick glance at my pocket watch it's already bloody 1:30am I was able to let Jeykll let me out earlier at 10 after dinner was done so I could go fetch Racheal,we went hit up a few bars I got properly smashed Racheal had a few swigs of some ale I got into a fight with some bald block after he tried making moves at Rachel and wouldn't take no for a answer,he almost got lucky with a cheap shop to my head but Rachel coming from being gave me a quick wink before she grabs the nearest chair and throws it at the bald fuck. Getting the hint I move out of the way so when he is distracted the both of us tackle him straight through the nearest table after that we quickly grab our things and move on to another bar.
After we met a couple of lady friends from this new bar called red ruby's(just some made up name not sure if there was actually a bar called that) I was thinking of trying to get a shag out of them but realizing I want this time to just be the both of us I let them go with a promise of about next time, Rachel looked slightly confused as to why I didn't shag them but she didn't press me, finding a full bottle of rum on our way to the society she came up with the idea to go on the roof and do truth or shots basically we come up with the most embarrassing things we hear about from the lodgers and whoever starts laughing first has to take a shot (I also just came up with this idea not sure if others do the same thing I don't drink so I'm not sure).
The both of us have a pretty good tolerance with alcohol so once we finished the bottle we just kept talking until I decide to lay on her shoulder cause why not she's warm and soft not because I'm tired I never get tired I Leave that to Jeykll and he's paperwork to be tired, Rachel grabs my cap from my shoulders and drops underneath her before she lays down holding me with one arm while she uses the other arm to lay under her head the both of us just relaxing nothing else matters no more worry's or concerns no what ifs just the two of us and the city's under us. Technically I could let her go get some sleep and have a few more hours left but honestly just this one night I decide this is enough for tonight I just wanna spend this time with my only "family"' Oi Rachel you better not be sleeping on me cause I ain't carry your heavy arse down,who could sleep with all that loud thinking you've been doing honestly Eddie I can hear you thinking all the way from the pub down main St she gives me a smirk ohh it's so on hmm well one of us has to after all I'm the one with the brains good looks and charming crasma top that if you can if that's the case what does that make me than hmm?
Easy your just the cook I'm the evil master mind she gives me a playfully hook to my side as a response to my answer wanna try again ya bloody midget she now has the same smirk I just had a few seconds ago oi I'm taller than you by 3 inches yeah but I'm a girl not a guy I'm a perfect height for a women of my age you on the other hand not so much my little midget, I would push her but than I would loose my comfy pillow aka Rachel's chest and neck so I stick to sticking my tongue out while flipping her off bloody woman you don't know anything about size and I've seen women taller than you so where both small. With a shrug she gives me a nod before she lays back down I see the tired look she has usually she has more energy but with all the new lodgers that Jeykll keeps hiring there's more mouths to feed Rachel insisted she can handle all of it but I know it does do a good strain on her cooking and doing all the dishes while also helping with the society hell she's done more than that bloody bastard laynon all he does is beg he's rich snobby father for money and help Jeykll with the bills, it's not like he knows how to handle hard labor while Jeykll has control I'll pop in and out seeing if I'm missing anything I see Rachel running around like a mad woman while giving everyone there food and such wanting to pull her away from all of that or at least help her knowing no one else will.
That's one of the reasons why my status with Jeykll has gone down at first we where ok with our agreement but after awhile he started to be more of a pain on what I can and can't do always being a back seat driver but really not hiring more help for her that I don't take lightly she's wearing herself ragged by the time she's 30 her body will already have started to fall apart, fuckin Jeykll just the bare thought of him gets me a little frustrated but he's not here he's in the back of our mind for once listing to me and backing off he knows this was special for the both of us and being a gentleman which he says he is even though he's the opposite let's me have my space. Not wanting to cut our night short but also don't want her falling asleep while in the middle of cooking or freaking doing whatever else the lodgers manage to destroy and she has to intervene and do damage control hey rach if you want maybe we can cut our night short you look exhausted she openes her eyes about to tell me otherwise but a yawn sneaks it way through ok maybe I'm a little tired but I can keep going besides there's something special I made just in case if you actually remembered this time, i forget one time and you still won't let me live it down in my defense I was smashed more than usual thank you very much and what's this surprise you made?
Well get up so I can show you with a huff I recently get up allowing her to move the first thing she does is hand me my cloak and than beckons me to the side after we climb down by the side of the building cause fuck taking the stairs it's more fun this way anyway, we go all the way to her room it's nothing crazy just a small bed in the corner with a window to the side, a desk with some papers on it a closet for her nicer clothes and a small table by her bedside with a candle, alright sit down and don't move I'll be right back and with that she leaves in a dash knowing I have a few moments I take off my cloak and hat leaving them on the desk I walk around wondering if there's anything different since I've last been here I see she has got a new dress that she didn't have before it's a nice shade of blue but I prefer if it was a shade of green but oh well. After looking around some more I see nothing else new so I jump on her bed letting the soft cushy bed let me sink into it this night was definitely fun but I wish It could have lasted longer, as I give a shrug to myself I hear Rachel walking back I immediately sit up as this wonderful aroma of chocolate hits my senses (I absolutely love chocolate it's always been my favorite and even now almost mid 20s I'll still eat chocolate before having dinner lol) she opens the door and holds up this cake that is covered in chocolate frosting with some candles on it has a emerald green and a mix of blue and green lettering all over it.
Happy 2 year anniversary Eddie I know it's not much but I know how much you love chocolate and I've been creating a new recipe added something extra to it hope you like it, as she sets it down I see happy 2 year anniversary to the spirit of London at night it also has some fake looking skulls on it and some brownies on the side she also has a little me and her in the middle made out of frosting, I immediately wanna start digging into it but Rachel holds a knife to my neck don't think about it I spent a lot of time on this I ain't about to have you go eating it all making a mess in my room and than I gotta go clean it without knowing how it tasted. Fine but you better hurry thou can't promise i won't pounce at it if you make me wait to long she gives me a glare still holding the knife to my neck knowing if I don't back down I'll just be waiting even longer so with a sigh I sit back down on the bed crossing my arms over my chest with a huff,Rachel content stabs into the cake cutting the both of us a piece but before I can devour it just one more thing it wouldn't be proper to end this wonderful night without another drink would it be not getting where she's getting at i let out a grin your absolutely correct this time I got it without letting her say something I dash to Jekyll's office knowing where he keeps the good wine he has not that cheap crap that he drinks when he's drowning himself in he's miserable and sad life.
Finally reaching he's office I unlock the door and head straight to the back there the cheap stuff is shelved not wanting any of that I go further in the back until I reach the cabinets obviously locked I grab the keys from Jekyll's desk with a quick turn of the wrist I'm finally granted access not wanting to take to long i quickly 2 bottles and head back to Rachel's room but not before locking the office so I don't have to hear Jekyll's crying about leaving he's office unlocked, making quick work of the stairs by gliding down the railing instead of walking Im back at Rachel's room she already has 2 plates filled with cake just sitting there on the desk. Alright I got the booze holding up the two bottles over my head let's see if we can get shit faced Rachel gives me a look did you just take that from mister Jekyll's private stash you know he won't like that i have some ale I was going to split, who cares he's fancy arse can afford more plus this is a special occasion why has something cheap when we need to celebrate it probably hmm well ok your right it would be better with something that's not cheap but this is a one time thing no more raiding he's office every time you want a drink k?
Giving her a shrug of the shoulders don't count on it taking he's expensive stuff is just to much fun i pass her a bottle and open my own we both sit down on the bed and start eating the cake was fucking amazing we ended up eating the whole cake by our selves our faces covered in chocolate I ended up finishing my bottle first Rachel was already half way through hers we take sips of the rest we just lay against each other not saying much just holding each other we don't usually get this clingy and probably my next time out I may not see her, starting to get tired I notice Rachael all but ready to pass out figuring I should let her sleep now I get up to take my leave but she grabs me by my waste and pulls me back and where do you think your going to at this hour? Uhh to let you sleep you look ready to pass out and don't you have to go do the whole cooking thing soon yeah but that doesn't mean you have to leave it's way to late for you to be on your way to soho Rachael you know I'm the inner darkness of all man kind people should be worried about me coming out at night or the early mornings let dare whoever ruin my fun suffer the- Rachel just pulls me in even more until I'm on top of her like how we where on the roof I know that you can take care of yourself Edward but just for tonight please just stay here you can have the bed.
Getting slightly annoyed I'm not some kind of child who needs to be protected I can look out for myself I -i notice she starts to cry a little in all my time as both Jekyll and Hyde I've never seen her cry she's always been go with the flow or bottle her feelings to where people don't notice why are you crying, I know your not a child I just hate how you come and go I hate only seeing you every know and than I wish we could do this all the time the thought of you leaving now when will I expect to see you again will it be 2 days 3 days or a freaking bloody month until I see my baby brother. Immediately after she said baby brother i stiffen up I knew I was a close person to her but I honestly never thought she felt like that for me she wouldn't say that to play with my mind and gain what unless she means that, I go wide eyed she just wants to spend time with me and make sure I'm ok usual I would be disgusted by this mushy feeling stuff but as I said earlier this is Rachel and well fuck it if she considers me to be her baby bro than hell with it she's my older sister I guess even a demon like me can have family who knew.
Knowing what I have to do i turn around so I'm laying on her instead of on my back I never knew you actually consider me family Rachel I'm only going to say this once so you better listen I'm fuck I'm never going to live this down especially if Jekyll hears about this sorry to making you worry like that I can't promise you I'll be here every day you know I can't promise that but I'll try to be be here more often or I'll send you a letter so you don't worry,she gives me a nod but she's still lightly crying i pull her face to my chest and rest my chin on her head and I'll stay here but this isn't going to be a regular thing I'm not a cuddly person is that understood? With a smile she looks up to me I see I literally just made her day by agreeing to sleep here with her that's how she should be happy smiling and goofing off and having fun not being tired and miserable even if she won't admit it, thank you Eddie and sorry about all of that I usually don't go crying on my friends and calling them baby brother thats because everyone else isn't family but we are big sis I whisper the last part as I swallow my pride I never expected to have a family but now that I do I damn won't let anyone hurt her even if she's considered the "older one" that doesn't mean I ain't bloody murder some foolish block who dares mess with her.
She goes wide eyed before giving me a small smile knowing that I'm staying here she starts relaxing in moments she will probably pass out oh by the way since I'm being "forced to stay" that means your my new bed so I hope you enjoy having someone sleeping on top of you, giving me a small squeeze not at all I wouldn't have it any other way I move my head under her neck wrapping my arms around her shoulders I get myself comfy she grabs the blanket and drops it over us she wraps her left arm around me taking my left hand she interwinds our fingers together. We lay there brother and sister for now on it's us against the world for now on instead of there just being one spirit of London at night now it's 2 of us but you know what 2 people is perfect while 3 is just a crowd, I check my watch on her desk it's already 3:09 she would only be getting 2 hours of damn sleep well not today with a goal set into motion I start to drift into slumber for the first time never staying transformed for this long to actually sleep but screw if Im not leaving my family by herself not this time.
Hey Rachel just one more thing yeah I can see she's about to pass out so I make this quick thank you for being the family I never expected to have same to you my little spirit of London at night not time to sleep, with that we both drift off into slumber Jekyll woke me up at 5 screaming inside my head as to why I haven't taking the potion yet i quickly tell him to fuck off I'm sleeping. Damnit Hyde don't you understand you haven't been out this long we don't know how your body will handle this the longer you stay as you are your better off transforming back now with a annoyed huff (they are talking to each other mentally cause Hyde still has control of the body just wanted to point this out for everyone) fuck off with that so a few more hours without transforming back big deal it's not like you are letting the body get any sleep either way if anything I'm doing you a favor so once again piss off.
Oh and what about miss pidgley she has to get up and start cooking soon she can't be here baby sitting you she actually has a job and family to support ok first off don't refer to my sister like that you cunt and guess what she's taking the day off and is going to sleep in, are you mad who's going to be the cook for today I doubt any of the lodgers now how to make anything besides burning toast, if they can't cook for themselves that's on them my sister needs to have a day off think when was the last bloody time she actually was able to get a moments time and relax hug? She told me she can handle this by herself and she has proven to me that she can she used to be my personal cook before I DONT FUCKING CARE what she used to do or be she's a human being who asks for nothing and is always there for others even when they don't do the same for her I'm tired of you not hiring more help for her would it be a oh to much for me Henry cunt Jekyll to actually hire another cook to help instead of bringing in more lodgers that you can't even afford to bring in.
What about you why don't you help her if your soo worried about her hmm actually you know what Jekyll your right i can already feel the smug smile he has on thinking he has won that's why for the rest of this week I'll be helping her in the day time and at night we are out relaxing and having our fun, you know that's impossible right you have to transform back if people don't see me they are going to wonder where I'm at well its a good thing you left a letter to me stating your going to be gone on a trip for a week and that me and miss Rachel will be ruining things in your absence. Quickly understanding what I mean b b- but you can't just stay a whole week without transforming back we have never done that we don't know what could happen if you dont change back we'll good doctor being a scientist is all about taking risks and right now we're going to take that risk for science after all and besides you kept me in locked up instead of letting me out having my fun way longer so I guess this is punishment, next time think twice before messing with the spirits of London at night you can't just go ahead and do that we never agreed on this and it's my choice on when i let you out it's my body my life your nothing more than a test tube.
Well this test tube is in control not like you can do anything about it and keep talking I'll just make it even longer now if you excuse me I was having a good dream before you decided to interrupt my family bonding time,in a cold voice you don't even have a family what would you even know about having someone care for you or actually love you? Easy cause my family is right underneath me holding me I actually do have someone who does care never would have thought that but I'm not going to look at it to much so kindly fuck off with that last sentence Jekyll leaves me be probably cursing me out as Rachel begins to wake up Hyde you actually stayed, of course I did a promise is a promise your just the only person i actually manage to keep my promises to.
I'm glad you stayed eddie but now could you get off of me I gotta get ready what do you mean it's still only 4:00 you still have time to sleep she gives me a confused look but i always wake up at this time it has to be close to 5:30 shaking my head no it's still only 4 go back to sleep ok, usually she would argue with me but her being dead tired only getting a little over 2 hours of sleep agrees ok but promise me you will wake me up at 5:30 k. Don't worry you have nothing to worry about I'll wake you up when it's time she doesn't see my smirk as she goes back into a deep sleep giving my hand a strong squeeze she lets out a small thank you for staying as she sleeps, this is how she should be getting the required amount of sleep she needs we all can't be anti social with sleep like Jekyll I close my eyes as I go back to sleep as well.
I ended up having the both of use sleep all through the morning to the end of lunch after we both woke up Racheal immediately new I let her sleep in way longer than intended she was about to give me a lecture until there was a knock on her door, ito comes out with a plate filled with food and a pitcher of organ he juice, don't worry mrs Rachael mr Hyde over here told us you would be sleeping in today I'm glad you decide to just relax for today some of us can actually cook just not as good as you. Rachael turns to me the angry look on her face disappears relief is all that's left Im glad you all where able to handle things in the kitchen today but there to much to do at the moment to just sleep in all day mr Jekyll would be mad if I didn't do something today, don't worry about that prick you deserve a day off out of everyone here I agree with mr Hyde on this not that mr Jekyll is a prick but you should get more rest we have everything under control.
I don't know are you sure you guy's have everything under control henry would be crossed if something happens to the society while I lay in bed, ito comes to Racheals side giving her a pat on her head we also have me laynon here as well so he's going to be watching things for today while you and dr Jekyll take some time off with that she leaves us be closing the door behind her, at the end of breakfast I told her all about Henry's "trip" that's he's taking showing her the more i wrote in Jekyll's handwriting eventually she's caves in deciding to go back to sleep she leans into my side thank you so much Eddie i actually do really need this I just don't wanna let anyone down especially dr Jekyll. Don't worry dear sister of mine just go back to bed you deserve it with a nod we both fall into a blissful slumber.
well this is something new hopefully you guys like this as well like I said earlier this won't be updated as much from time to time whenever I feel like it I'm mainly focusing on my where do I go from here and starting my Gwen 10 up. Any likes or thoughts are deeply appreciated thank you for reading
