When I See Him Move, I See Hell To Pay

Chapter 3: One Bright Morning You Danced

It was dark in the Scotland Yard. Everything was quiet except for the footsteps coming from down the hallway. Jekyll smirked, he finally had Hyde captured and the dancer's life was hanging in the balance. All he had to do was choose Jekyll, or burn at a pyre. Jekyll hoped he was smart enough to choose life over death. He stopped at Hyde's cell as he heard the bells from the church signaling it was 5 am. Hyde looked up hearing Jekyll tap on the bars. "The clock is striking five, it means that dawn will come soon. Very soon they'll unlock that door. And very soon you will be no more." Hyde looked away from him, obviously not pleased to see him. "Why do you hate me?" Jekyll looked up at him and put his hand on the bars. "It's not that I hate, it's that I love... I LOVE YOU!" Hyde covered his ears before getting up. But he kept his distance. "What is it I've done? A gypsy man alone, that love for me has come to you the doctor of North London?"

"One bright morning you danced, on the square in the sun. I watched you so entranced, my whole world came undone. Now my heart, never still, bruised my mind and my will. All my empty life unveiled, and now since that day, mirrors show no sign of my face! But Satan in my place. Of me there is no trace..." Hyde sighed then shut his eyes as his mind wandered slightly. "Oh my love he will come. Light my life like the sun, he will come take me home, my dark days will be done. Come too close, evil man, you will DIE by these hands, no one can HATE like I can! YOU'LL DIE WHERE YOU STAND! Go to hell! That's what I demand!"

Jekyll took out the key and unlocked the door before opening it. "Give me one hour with you, I'll be yours to command... You must choose don't you see? Before day and the gods above. Choose your pyre, or me. Choose your death, or my love. Choose the grave, or my bed. To be living or dead! If you nod yes with your head, I'll release you and let you go to the ones you love so... To the devils you know." Jekyll got closer to Hyde and the blonde swallowed hard before pushing him away. "Just go!" Hyde snapped but Jekyll pinned him against the wall. "Just go..." Jekyll kissed him deeply and Hyde let the tears stream down his face. He knew exactly what Jekyll meant, but being the stubborn gypsy he was, he wasn't going to give in that easily. He's already decided his answer.
