Jekyll laid Salene on the dining room table. He turned to Ruby, "Run to my room and hurry! Grab my equipment."

Ruby turned to leave but Jekyll grabbed her by the arm almost as soon as she turned away, "Grab my pocket watch as well."

She nodded and took off to his room, not knowing exactly what she was looking for. She entered the room and scavenged through anything that looked like medical equipment. Just before she walked out, she saw the watch and picked it up.

"Why does he need this?" she asked herself. Then she realized… "Time of death…" she murmured quietly. Tears formed behind her eyes, certain that that was his intention.

She came back into the dining room and dropped the tools onto the table and burst into frantic tears.

"Why are you doing this? What's all the equipment for? You're going to call her time of death aren't you? She's gone! Why bother?" she cried.

"BECAUSE I LOVE HER!" Jekyll turned and shouted at her with tears streaming from his red face. "Do you not want me to save her? Do you not love her? She's your sister for God's sake."

"I do love her! But she's dead. You should might as well call it now!"

"How could you give up your hope? Do you doubt me? Do you know what I'm capable of?" He looked at her more closely. "Do you trust me with her life?"

Ruby only cried harder. She couldn't take it. He was making her pain more unbearable. She left with her hands to her face, her cries heard outside the room now.

Suddenly a shatter was heard. Ruby snapped her head up from her hands and ran back into the room. "What happened?" She asked.

On the table, the watch she brought to him was shattered into several pieces. "Why did you do that?" she asked with a cracking voice. "That watch looked valuable."

"It was but Salene's life is more valuable… as precious as time is, I want to turn it back…" He was quiet. Ruby didn't quite understand what he meant in reference to his mentioning of time.

He took the pieces f silver and dropped them into a vile that he had filled with a crimson liquid. The cool metal melted into the mixture.

"Perfect." He said almost excitedly. He turned to Ruby. "Quickly, lift Salene up!"

Ruby was confused but she did as Jekyll said, lifting Salene up from under her arms. Blood seeped onto her body, soaking into her clothing and running down her arms. She closed her eyes, trying not to think about her sister's blood soaking onto her. Tears streamed down her face.

Jekyll quickly wrapped bandages around Salene's naked body. The bandages were soaked with the formula he just prepared.

Ruby opened her eyes and watched Jekyll with a worried gaze as he worked. "I don't understand… Why are you trying to bring her back?"

"I wouldn't be a very good doctor if I didn't try to help people." He cracked a smile then went focused again. "Then again, I've been known to hurt."

"Only as Hyde."

"Yes… but even still. She helped me see that my good deeds outweigh the bad. No matter how evil Hyde is, I created something much better."

"What's that?"

"Love…"

Hyde appeared in Jekyll's mind. "I'm sorry Henry."

Jekyll was quiet for a moment. "For what?" He asked Hyde in his mind.

" For killing… for making you a monster…"

"You're apologizing for being a murderer?" Jekyll growled.

"…Yes…"

"Why?"

Hyde was silent for a while then worked himself up to speak. "Because I love her too."

"What!"

"You heard me Henry. I understand your pain. I feel the same."

"How can you understand pain when you've caused so much?"

"I regret it Henry. I'm sorry…"

"You disgust me… you demon…"

Hyde was silent again. Jekyll saw a tear run down Hyde's face. By the looks of it he wasn't acting.

"I-I don't understand…"

"I guess you never knew that monsters had feelings too…" Hyde breathed deeply. "Bring her back. I know you can."

Ruby looked at Jekyll closely. " Are you alright?"

"What? Y-yes." He stuttered.

"What now?"

"She'll be able to heal herself now… She's a unique being." He looked at Salene then to Ruby. "Do you know the potential of a werewolf?"

Ruby thought for a moment, looking at her lifeless sister. She looked back at Jekyll with a blank expression.

"Werewolves have been known to reconstruct their tissues and damaged cells- much like a vampire. Their venom may be incredibly contagious but when its host is injured, with the proper attention, it can have extreme healing abilities." He explained.
