Disclaimer: I love Jekyll and Hyde, but did not come up with them. Someday, I'm going to meet
Robert Louis Stevenson (after I'm dead of course), and say "Oh. My. Gosh. You are the most
brilliant man ever. Tell me all your secrets! I love you!" And he will say, "Your fanfiction
sucked. Do not blaspheme my work ever again." And I will cry, but leave him alone, for he is
the great Robert Louis Stevenson.
You are only limited to what you can dream of. Hooray for people who like this story. Without
you, this wouldn't have been written. Now the reason this has taken so long is, I pretty much got
to where I had planned to go, so I've been trying to think of a direction to take this in. And my muse was, indeed, electrocuted. Anyone know where I can get a new one? I've tried ebay, perhaps I should search out a flea market? Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter Seven: The Watcher
I was off my feet for nigh on two weeks, and was startin' to go crazy with boredom, when Dr.
Jekyll pronounced me healthy enough to go back to work again. It was a welcome relief from
driftin' in and out of awareness, and wonderin' when the dark man--Mr. Hyde--would come.
I was put to work helpin' Mary with her chores, I couldn't do much on my own yet, at least not when Dr. Jekyll or Mrs. Kent was around, as they'd scold me for overworking meself. Mr. Poole just glared at me whenever I was around, I tried to steer clear o' him, but Annie, Mr. Bradshaw, and Mary treated me the same as always.
I felt pretty coherent most o' the time, though I've no doubt sometimes I hallucinated. It wasn't so much an all out vision as it was just a sense. A sense of someone watching. Waiting. There, in the dark corners, where the shadow devours the light. Someone was there. I could hear them, sometimes, but mostly I could feel them.
It was at night that that feeling became the worst. After hours, when all us servants are to be a-bed, that's when I could feel him the strongest. I knew I wasn't the only one who could sense the Watcher, I could see it in the others faces, they were frightened too. The house had changed. I vaguely connected that change with the presence of Mr. Hyde, but as I hadn't truly met him yet, I couldn't really know how strong that connection--that feeling of evil--was to him.
And then it happened. The day I met Hyde. The day that evil paraded its presence in my life.
The day me mother came into me life.

(Before I respond to any of y'all's comments, I just have to screech in delight because I know where this is going again. *SCREECH!!!!!*)
All Mighty Terrestrial: THANK YOU. Bloody good insight there. I hadn't even realized Kieran was so ...stand-offish. It is rather difficult to get him more into the story because he IS my own character and I don't want to butcher the original characters too much, but I shall definitely consider ye're advice. Thank ye.
Panzergirl: Holy cow poop. Jekyll is the coolest character in the whole entire world. I'm totally obsessed with him too : )
EriEka127: You should beat me over the head more often, I'd probably update sooner. I'm sorry this took so long. But are ye happy now? And it shouldn't take me so long to spit new storylines out, because I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING AGAIN!!
Is that a muse sitting at my window? MUSEY! You're home! Hooray!!
Vampiric Hyde: Please tell me if Kieran gets annoying. I'll kill him. Really.
Anonymous327: Yay :-) Glad you like it.
Jayden: You are a pain. You are a fiend. But I love ye anyway.
