Sword of Memory
Edward Hyde walked through the hallways of his old high school. It had been years since he had been enrolled here, since he found his first lover... The very one who killed him with a sword... His own sword. Shaking his head he turned and walked down the hallway leading to the fencing club. He smiled remembering the first time he fought with his teacher Jekyll... And the accident that followed...
"Mr Hyde, you're late for class AGAIN." Jekyll growled as the 17 year old walked into class. "Keep this up and you'll sure as hell be expelled." Hyde smirked and laughed before taking out his sword. Jekyll reached for his sword and walked over before getting into a fighting stance. One strike was all it took and Hyde was on his knees, blood pouring from the wound Jekyll backed away in absolute fear. Hyde looked at him with tears in his eyes before he fell to his side. Jekyll looked at Hyde before pulling him into his arms. Blood stained Jekyll's hands as he put pressure on the stab wound. He couldn't believe what he's done. He failed... He failed to protect the one he was supposed to. Hyde 's breathing slowly stopped and his eyes shut. Jekyll teared up and cried over his lover's body. "I love you... My sword fighter...
JEKYLL
One morning we fought...
On the square...
In the sun, never have I known such desire...
A shiver took hold of me, and through my mind I remember.
Since that day, when I look into the mirror...
It's Lucifer I seem to see, instead of me...
HYDE
"I wait for him, he will come... My Jekyll, my savior... He'll be my love, my love, my miracle... Come closer, assassin. I'll kill you with a blade of shadow. No, I'm not afraid of you. I'll bite you like a dog, go away, bird of ill-omen..."
JEKYLL
"I asked only a moment of pleasure..."
HYDE
"I give you a choice before dawn breaks... The gallows or me..."
JEKYLL
"Death or love.."
HYDE
"The tomb or my bed."
HYDE/JEKYLL
"It's a matter of life and death."
JEKYLL
"You'd only need to say yes... and I'll get you out."
HYDE
"I promise to return you to your friends. To your devil's partners."
JEKYLL
"GO AWAY! ALL OF YOU!"
Hyde flinched hearing that voice from Jekyll and he was snapped out of the memory. He shook his head and started walking through the years that continued after his death. "My sword rests in darkness... And that's how it'll be. I'm done waiting for you." Hyde snarled and proceeded to go to where Jekyll was at this moment. He noticed officers surrounded Jekyll and he was pulled upwards to his feet. "Young Jekyll, you are sentenced to hang for murder. As for your outlaws, you will be exiled! Deported!" Jekyll started fighting against the officers but he was forced onto the pedestal. The rope was placed around Jekyll's neck and Hyde watched with no emotion in his eyes. The rope tightened and Jekyll's neck snapped due to the sudden jerk of the rope. "Goodnight... Henry Jekyll."
