Salene and Jekyll came into Jekyll's room. It was dark and Jekyll went for his matches and pulled out some candles. We struck the wooden match against the box and the sharp scent of burning wood filled the air. Salene smelled more clearly and inhaled the scent in relaxation. The smoke in itself felt relaxing to her. Jekyll lit the first candle and repeated so with the other candles. Each time Salene would slip deeper and deeper into her calm relaxed state.
Jekyll turned and looked at Salene who was now walking over to his dresser drawers. She looked in awe at his small metal pocket watch. She fell in love with its unique design. She turned to him and said, "This is a beautiful watch."
"Thank you, " he replied, "It was my father's… and it was his father's before him and so on."
"It is a beautiful thing… time."
Jekyll looked more closely at Salene as she looked back down at the precious piece of jewelry.
"Time is precious to each person. Some moments are so precious, people wish for it to stop… just for that one moment…" she continued. She reached down and picked it up but quickly dropped it as if it hurt her. She quickly held her hand and clenched her eyes shut, gritting her teeth to keep herself from groaning in pain. Jekyll came to her side as soon as she doubled back from the watch. He took her hand in his and gently opened it. She winced as steam rose from her mildly burned hand.
Jekyll looked in shock at her hand. "How did this happen?"
"Tell me… what is that watch made of?" she asked wincing from the exposure of her wound to the fresh air.
"Why by the finest silver if course…"
"…Silver…" she whispered almost soft enough that Jekyll couldn't hear.
"Wait a minute… you're allergic to silver aren't you?" Jekyll recalled how werewolves were allergic to silver. "I didn't think silver would cause such damage and even while you haven't transformed…" Salene nodded and clenched her hand shut again. Jekyll let her go and took his bed sheet and tore a strip from it. He took it and wrapped around her injured hand very gently and carefully, She winced when he tied it. "I'm sorry..." he said putting her hand between his hands. She looked at him with forgiving eyes- graceful, grey eyes. He looked into hers eyes with his own relaxed look as he gently stroked her hand smoothly to relieve the pain.
"Henry…" Salene asked looking at his hand that stroked hers. Jekyll stopped and put both his hand on his lap quickly and shyly as though he did something he wasn't supposed to, like a child who told a lie. Salene held his hand again.
"Please don't stop…" she said, putting her hand between his again. Jekyll smiled softly and looked at her hand, her delicate, fragile hand. It was so fragile that the cool silver could burn it.
"Henry… I was going to ask… have you ever been in love?" she asked watching him as he stared at her hand he held.
He took his attention off her hand and looked back at the moons that floated quietly in her eyes. "Once and only once…"
"What was her name?" Salene was curious to know of what his life was once like.
"Her name? Salene."
"Salene? You mean you met an other woman named Salene before me? Is that why you named me Salene?"
Jekyll chuckled at how Salene sounded like a little girl who constantly wanted to know everything. "No…"
"Then what?" Salene asked grinning with curiosity.
Jekyll leaned into Salene and put his hand through her thick locks of hair and pressed his lips against hers. She closed her eyes taking in the moment recalling what she said of time. She wished it would stop for the moment. Little did she know that he wanted the same thing.
He pulled away for a moment. "The only Salene I have ever loved is you."
Please review! I know it's short but I promise I will do a lot more soon. I'm very happy that I finally got this up and I'm hoping that you guys are excited to find that I've finally updated it!
