Jekyll was speaking the truth. He loved Salene and she loved him right back. They continued to kiss until Jekyll was interrupted.
"What are you doing?" Hyde vocalized from within Jekyll's mind. Jekyll shot back from Salene, almost dropping her to the floor.
"What do you want?" Jekyll roared out loud. Salene had a frightened look go across her face.
"Henry?" Salene asked frightened but he ignored her and continued to fight with himself.
"I want her." Hyde said deeply.
"You can't have her!" Jekyll shouted, wincing his eyes and gritting his teeth, throwing his hands beside his temples. "I wont let you!"
"I didn't ask you to let me… I can make you give her to me." Hyde grinned disgustingly. Salene was now backing away from Jekyll until her back reached the bedpost. She screamed from the feeling of the cold wood against her bare back that her outfit exposed. She clasped her hands over her ears and cried out, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Inside Jekyll's head, everything went black… Jekyll took his hands away from his head and a strange look was in his eyes. Salene looked up at him with tear-drenched eyes. "What's wrong? Is it over?" she asked with a quivering voice. She was shaking uncontrollably. Jekyll's mouth grew into a fiendishly ugly grin that was not his own and he chuckled with a voce that didn't sound as his own. But he was still Jekyll, at least, his body remained the same… but he wasn't himself.
"Don't be frightened…" the deep voice vocalized from his lips.
"Stay Back!" Salene screamed. "Ruby! Alan! Rodney! Anybody! PLEASE!" she desperately cried for help, hoping that someone would hear her frantic plea.
"No one will be helping you. No one is coming for you… not even Henry… but I'm coming for you!" Hyde's grotesque voice cackled in laughter. But sudden, one slam of a door and a harsh blow to the head, sent Jekyll's body falling to the floor at Salene's bare feet and she was lifted up by a figure she couldn't see from all the commotion so she was unable to tell if she was being rescued or kidnapped.
She was gently put down and she wouldn't let go of whoever was holding her. She pulled away for a moment, not letting go of her rescuer and suddenly burst into hysterical tears as she buried herself back into their body.
It was Sawyer.
Salene was screaming in frantic sobs and groans of sorrow from what she had witnessed. Sawyer stroked the back of her head and rested his own head on top of hers, attempting to sooth her.
"Sawyer! ..." she choked between tears. "What was -wrong -with him?"
"It wasn't him. It was Edward Hyde. I'm sorry that you had to meet him." Sawyer said quietly and soothingly still attempting to quiet her. He began to rock her like a father holding an infant girl trying to rock her to sleep. She pulled away and looked into Sawyer's eyes and tears continued to run down her soft cheeks.
"Why? Why did he ever bring himself to create such a monster?" she said more clearly.
Sawyer shook his head and she pushed herself back into him, closing her eyes and letting the tears fall.
Sawyer sighed, "I remember you now…"
She looked up at him like a child, full of curiosity.
"I remember I found you. You were just a small ball of fur, stranded by the river banks. Huck and I found you. We thought you were an ordinary coyote cub but as it turns out you were a lot bigger than any coyote. We aided you, nursed you back to health, knowing then that you were just a wolf cub. You were the cutest pup we ever saw. We named you Salene, like Jekyll did, and your mother."
Sawyer paused and smiled at her, seeing the interest in her.
"We tried letting you go in the wild but you wouldn't leave our sides. You wanted to stay, like the good girl you were… you still are. You came back I guess. I suppose that's why you're here."
Salene smiled softly as if she were having a dream. She gently closed her eyes.
"You showed us that you were really a little lady. We treated you like our little sister. But… over the extent of our adventures…" Sawyer breathed in and sighed deeply, attempting to hold in the tears, "we lost you…"
He looked down at her, tilting his head. "I'm so sorry Salene."
Salene dreamily responded while half-asleep. "I forgive you." she said quietly and drowsily. But before Sawyer could ask her "What?" she was fast asleep.
He rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Always was a deep sleeper."
Salene cracked a lazy eye and smiled. " I heard that" she said in a whisper making sawyer laugh.
