Escape From Hell
Chapter 7: Remember Who You Are
Utterson sat on the bed holding a picture of him and Jekyll, the silverette had taken that when they were out at the park, but no matter what, it wasn't changing Utterson's mood in the slightest. He set the picture down beside him and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Sound the bugle now... Play it just for me... As the seasons change, remember how I used to be... I've got nothing left, just an empty heart... Now I can't go on, I can't even start... I'm a soldier, wounded so I must give up the fight... there's nothing more for me, lead me away... Or leave me lying here." Utterson looked out the window and got up before pulling out a chair, sitting down, and laying his head in his arms before staring out the window. Staring out at the blizzard going on outside.
"Sound the bugle now, tell them I don't care... there's not a road I know, that leads to anywhere..."
As Utterson began to fall asleep he realized that the snow had started messing with his mind, he looked closer and saw his friends standing there calling to him but he knew they weren't real. He knew that all too well. "Without a light I, fear that I will stumble in the dark... lay down and decide not to go on..." But when he saw Jekyll he stood up and put a hand on the window, his eyes locked onto the form of his lover completely forgetting that it wasn't real.
"Then from on high, somewhere in the distance, there's a voice that calls, 'Remember who you are! If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow... So be strong tonight... And remember who you are...' "
Utterson opened the window and a cold breeze hit his face making him shut his eyes, when he opened them, he realized he was only dreaming and he let a tear stream down his face. Looking over to his sword he pulled it out of the scabbard and looked at it, he not only saw his reflection, but he saw Jekyll's reflection as well. Putting a hand on his neck he slowly relaxed knowing Jekyll was with him. The silverette looked over at the window and closed the curtains before walking out of the room.
"Yes! You're a soldier now! Fighting in a battle, to be free once more! Yeah that's worth fighting for!"
After getting his coat the silverette walked out into the snow storm and went down the sidewalk. He knew Jekyll was somewhere and that he was alive. But he'd have to fight to get him back. Even if it means losing his life... Shaking his head he continued on, the wind and snow blinding him. Utterson still pressed on not wanting to stop and wait for the storm to pass, if it was true that Jekyll was alive then he wouldn't want to wait any longer then he needed to. This was the only way Utterson would get his life back... Or lose it in the face of death.
