Chapter 1: Prologue

Summary:

Hope y'all enjoy!

Chapter Text

Frankenstein freezes, slack jawed. Rachel covers her mouth in horror, knees buckling, Jasper reaching to catch her with one ark whilst still lost in shock. Robert is horrified as they all watch bones crack and limbs snap out of place with sickening wet pops. Jekyll lets out a wail, rocking back and forth, hands covering his face. They know. They know. A misty version of Hyde lays before him, crawling towards a mirror. He looks curious. Then the mirage of his counterpart grin wild and reckless. In a voice that sounds like shattered glass he whispers, "free."  

How did it come to this? How did everything fall apart? He'd been so careful. Kept this secret for two years. And now it has all been undone. The fractured remains of Henry Jekyll shatter entirely.

Chapter 2: Can I Just Have A Break Please?

Summary:

Hi! Hope y'all enjoy!

Chapter Text

He's being shown a new invention when the explosion goes off, startling Tweedy and Flowers, causing one of them to accidentally pull the lever. The machine powers on, hitting Jekyll with a bolt of light. They stare at him while he glares at Luckett, hands on his hips. "Fuuuuuck," Tweedy says. Ms Flowers mutters, "oh this isn't good." Jekyll turns to them, an alarmed expression on his face, his voice taking on a note of panic as he asks, "What? What's wrong?!" 

His brow creases with concern, face wane as Flowers hesitates and replies, "the memory machine locked onto you." His heart drops like a stone before leaping up and jamming itself into his throat. "What does that mean?" he asks hollowly. "Memories will play randomly whenever they are triggered. It won't stop until we figure out how to stop it its not ready for testing yet! I'm sorry!" Flowers sniffles, and he places a hand on her shoulder. He nods and then leaves, escaping this conversation while conveying that he doesn't blame them. 

He strides into his office and sinks to the floor, his legs giving out beneath him. Nononononono. 

A crackling sound echoes around him as a memory comes to life. Its the day that Robert broke up with him. He'll leave again. They'll all leave. 

Distantly he can hear a knock on the door, but all he can focus on is the memory. 

Light pours into the room as Robert throws the door open, lodgers behind him. He stares up at him as the memory keeps on playing and playing and playing pleasemakeitstop.
