Escape From Hell
Chapter 9: I'll Always Return
The three walked down the street in silence, Jekyll was being carried by Utterson and had fallen asleep in the silverette's arms. Lanyon looked over at the two and smiled slightly before telling Utterson he was going to head home. The silverette nodded and bid him goodbye before continuing to walk down the street to his house. Utterson sighed when he realized he had to open the door and hoisted Jekyll onto his shoulder before opening the door and walking in. The silverette made his way upstairs and laid Jekyll in bed before removing the young chemist's clothes and covering him with the blanket. He looked down at his lover and smiled softly before removing his own shirt and pants and laying in bed next to Jekyll. The silverette held him close and softly began to sing to get Jekyll to sleep comfortably. "I hear the wind, call my name... the sound that leads me home again... It sparks up a fire, a flame that still runs... to you, I'll always return..."
The two laid there in each other's arms, Utterson smiling in his sleep as Jekyll was curled up against him. Though it was nice to finally sleep soundly after 2 years, Utterson woke up early in the morning. He stared at the window and walked over to it. He pulled a chair up and sat in front of the window staring at the night sky. He was finally free of Hyde. Finally... But he felt it wasn't over. Though he had other things to worry about now, such as keeping Jekyll safe and he also had something to discuss with Carew tomorrow morning. But the discussion could wait a while seeing as how the ex valet had an engagement party to plan as well. Sighing the silverette went downstairs and started writing in a notebook. He didn't know how much time had passed until Jekyll came downstairs. "Morning love... sleep well?"
Jekyll nodded and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. The silverette got up before following Jekyll and wrapping his arms around the ravenette's waist. Jekyll smiled softly as Utterson kissed his neck and shoulder and then playfully rubbed himself against the ex valet. Quickly Utterson stopped and pushed Jekyll away from him, not hard, just enough to separate them from each other. The silverette looked at Jekyll before shaking his head and quickly walking off. Jekyll watched him leave and wondered if it was something he did... The day passed quite slowly and the two never spoke to each other. They were scared from the fight against Hyde and all they've gone through these past two years. Utterson didn't even know who he was... He didn't know who he was, what he used to be...
Every night for 22 years a routine got set in place and the young 28 year old chemist would be forced to follow. He hated his master, and he resisted his commands for months until he couldn't bear the punishments anymore. He was being used for sex and sometimes his master would bring his friends over to watch him be tortured, they'd laugh, call him dirty names. The young chemist was being humiliated and there was nothing that could change that. He'd cry himself to sleep every night when he was left alone and pray he wasn't bothered until morning. He wanted to go home, he wanted to be saved... He wanted to escape from hell. But that was already done. However the two found each other again and defeated Hyde... or did they? Lanyon was sure he had killed Hyde but Utterson couldn't help but feel like it wasn't completely over...
