Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
One of my favorite stories I had to do a thread.


Now this takes place in London, England early 1900's. I, Ivana Peskov, have just come under the emplyment of one Dr. Jekyll. I couldn't have been more excited as I was a low class, russian immigrant, now working for a doctor. Quite an amazing step up.

As I continued in his service I began to notice the doctor to be a quiet man. A man full of amazing attributes, and honorable ideals. I'd worked for him for a year before I even knew of his work. He intended to find a way to isolate the evil in man and then seperate it from himself, removing the evil from all men in hopes of a Utopia. A beautiful dream but I found it hard to comprehend, but then I am just a simple servant.

Lately however, I've noticed him becoming more excitable, smiling more, I even cought him whistling as he walked to his study this morning. He must be close to completion... as I began to doze off to sleep I hear rustling in his study. I listened, a crash, I immediately rose up pushing myself from the bed and pulling on a robe as I ran down towards the basement. His labratory, there I found him, hunched over, a table of test tubes spilt on the floor, a mess. I but touched his shoulder to help him rise when he shoved me away,

"Go. Be gone from here..."

A groan of pain,

"To bed!"

I immediately pulled back, frightened by his outburst and even more so by the trembling of his body. His fingers seemed to lose flesh, becoming longer and bonier, his muscles growing, his fingernails... hairier... I backed away disbelieving and raced to my bed, barely able to sleep I tossed and turned all night.

The next morning I rose again, hoping it all to have been a nightmare but a chill still clinging to me. I slipped on my soft simple dress over my slight 5'5" frame and pulled back my thick black hair into a simple ponytail. Soon I headed down the stairs and towards the kitchen making breakfast.

He came in, his soft gentle blue eyes met my ebony eyes, they were his eyes, not the almost maroon eyes I'd seen last night... it must'e been a nightmare. But something was in them I hadn't seen before. A shimmering of stress and worry... probobally something to do with his experiment. I chastised myself for letting my imagination run so wildly and finished his eggs sitting them before him.

He was fine from then on, the normal Dr. Henry Jekyll, charming and pleasant, quiet but oddly happy. I supposed he must have had a breakthrough in his experiment.

Soon however, he instructed me and the few other servants that were occasionally about the house of one Edward Hyde, this man he instructed would be obeyed as if he were the good doctor. He would occasionally make appearances while Jekyll was gone and that we were to treat him amiably.

Eventually I cought a glimpse of the man, Hyde. He would slip in in the night, he had a key, and go to the labratory wandering about the house. Once I cought his eye and something in his handsome features made me shiver. HIs ebony hair surrounding his frame, longer and disheveled, his eyes wild... maroon... something familiar about them, like the haunted eyes in my nightmare. If his face said anything it was evil, though there was something alluring to the man as well. The moment lasted only a second, but as my heart got cought in my throat I stood unmoving for what had seemed hours, though it must have only been seconds.

And so it continued, Jekyll and Hyde, never together, but both lived in the house, the former often vacationing for a few weeks at a time and nothing but Hyde remained.

OOC:

I'm sorry, I know the opening is long.

Ok now I'd like a seasoned author, not neccesarily in literotica, but someone with good spelling and who thinks they can play the complicated role of both Jekyll and Hyde to take this part. Please, I have high hopes for this thread. I don't want to just jump in bed I want there to be psychology and development. A plot . Now it's gonna be a 2 person thread, don't want my good doctor taken away, or his alterego . Grins... god I hope this works out!


Jekyll/Hyde is around 35 yrs old in age, and Ivana is around 23.
 
ill try:

I know i promised to be in this thread with you before but this time im around daily so it will be easy.
 
Dr.jekyll

I worked mindlessly for hours in my lab trying to discover a way to seperate the evil in a man and in time extract it.Now im trying to find a way to cure my own misfortune.summed up in one word.Hyde.

Ive seen the worried look in the eyes of my servants.Especially the kind hearted Ivana.Such a lovely spirit,but un aware of this evil that ive awoken despite all ive done to try to imprison it...


OOC: let me work a bit im getting the hang of the story line
 
Ivana hurriedly made up the masters supper, if she waited too late it would be Hyde, oh how she hated to be around him. That menacing glare as he looked her over, he always seemed like a lion.. no a wolf about to go in for the kill... a lone wolf. Always alone... I guess he looks at everything like that, a bloodthirsty desire. Chills swept up my spine, even here, in the kitchen safe from the man... the demon, at least that's what the staff call him. And he is, a regular demon, it seems he's sucking life and will out of our Master Jekyll, the doctor always hidden, always miserable... poor Dr. Jekyll.

She grabbed the plate of food and headed down, tapping once on the door of the lab.

Dr.Jekyll:

"its open," i said to the knock on the door.Ivana enters."Oh my dear, how delightful," i said to the dinner.She really is quite lovely but shes my help and i have more urgent issues on my mind.

all of a sudden i started to feel ill and i had to sit down....
 
'It's open,'

I pause rarely ever being allowed in his lab it cought me off guard. I opened the door and headed down the stairs careful to keep the tray balanced.

"Your dinner Sir."

He took it greatfully smiling that wonderful Dr. Jekyll smile, good he's completely himself, and he was looking better.

But that didnt' last long, suddenly a frown and he held his stomach dropping to his chair ignoring the food I'd just placed down.

"Are you allright sir?"
 
Dr.Jekyll:

"GO!," i yelled at her in a voice not my own,"You can take the rest of the evening off Ivana," i said trying to be calm.I watch her hurry away and fight to stay myself.Soon the pain is gone and i slowly eat the dinner she brought to me....
 
His voice dropped and he suddenly lurched his head away from my worried touch.

'Go!!!'

I tentively pulled my hand back, taking a few awkward steps backward. These fits always cought me of guard and I felt my heart jump into my throat.

'You can take the rest of the evening off Ivana'

I nodded quickly and took off quickly out the lab door shutting it tightly behind me. I stared at the door for a few moments before turning sadly away. There was no more sound, and I didn't see him before I left. I also didn't see him when I returned in the evening, I'd gone and seen my mother acrossed the state, she was sick... she hadn't even recognized me. Besides all I could think about was Master Jekyll... was he allright. I began to tidy up before going to bed, adjusting the shauls taking care of the dishes and such chores...
 
Dr jekyll:

I felt a messege saying i was going to be gone for a few days on buisness on the table in my kitchen.There was no buisness but i had to get away i almost left hyde get ahold of ivana.

then i felt the familiar pain....
 
Dr jekyll

I left a message saying i was going to be gone for a few days on buisness on the table in my kitchen.There was no buisness but i had to get away i almost left hyde get ahold of ivana.

then i felt the familiar pain....


Hyde:

I grunted and opened my eyes."Damn jekyll i almost had her,why did he stop me" i really wanted to kill that wench but dr.jekyll seems to have feeling for her so he wouldnt me touch her."please sir spare some change," i heard behind me.I was in the middle of an alley and an old homeless man had found me.Without compassion i raised the cane in my left hand and beat him to death.....

OOC: i hope thats alright

OOC: That's fine... just to let you know Hyde does have an apartment of his own in Soho.

IC:

I heard a rustle in the dining room and for a moment I hesitated but hurriedly I went out. No one was there, the lights were out, but the doctors coat was gone. I frowned a bit worried, in the condition he's been in he shouldn't be going outside... I glanced at the note... was he allright. It wasn't any of my affair but worry filled me and I hurried out. Besides Hyde would probobally come with him gone, and I didn't want anything to do with him tonight.

I grabbed my coat and went to follow... I didn't find Jekyll, but Hyde was there. My eyes wide with terror as I saw his cane flash around, hitting an old homeless man aside the head. Tears welled as he swung over and over again, like clockwork he struck evenly, heartlessly over and over....

His eyes, those dark eyes met mine and I turned quickly and fled the scene, praying he hadn't recognized me. I didn't return home, I immediately headed to a friend of mines home. I begged her for entrance, I couldn't tell her what happened but she let me in. I'd promised Hen... Dr. Jekyll that I wouldn't speak of Hyde ever, and I couldn't break that... not our trust.
 
Hyde

I growled as i turned and saw someone watching me.It looked like jekylls servant Ivana but i could be sure.I wiped the blood from my cane with a cloth i kept in my pocket.I continued my walk down the road.I broke in and trashed jekylls kitchen and den. then i wandered down into the lab and fell asleep a bit later...


Jekyll:
i awoke with a start the next morning.I was in my lab,but how had i gotton here? i wondered.Hyde i said to myself.The as i stood i liftesd my cane and saw it was stained red with blood.I called for Ivana....
 
Ivana:

I heard him call as I came in the door. I worried, I thought he'd be gone... would he be upset. I should tell him what I saw, but what if he knows allready, what would he say. That Hyde somehow controlled him, Jekyll never faced him, never denied him anything that was his.

Nervously I crept down the stairs my eyes wide and fearful, my attempt to mask it with a facade of cheerfulness failed as I saw the bloodied cloth in his hand.

"Master Jekyll! Are you allright sir?"

I raced to his side my hand falling to his chest searching his clothes for the sight from which the blood had come,

"Doctor?"
 
Dr.jekyll

I looked at her then back at the bloodied cane on the floor,not sure of what caused the blood."Im fi..n...e," i stammered.The look in her eyes was saying she knew something,something more than she wanted to tell me.

I ubruptly took her by her shoulders."If you know anything about hyde,I DEMAND you tell me," i said almost screaming.

then i fell to the floor and began to weep.....
 
I followed his gaze to the cane on the floor. My heart skipped a beat, flashes of the murder flickering before my eyes. I tried to brush them away, the doctor needn't know such things, he allready was having such a hard time. I didn't know what that bastard Hyde was doing to him but I feared it would kill him,... if Hyde didnt'.

"Master Jekyll... shhh... You must calm down..."

His eyes turned fierce,

'If you know anything about hyde,I DEMAND you tell me!'

My heart stopped, those eyes... they no longer seemed to be the Doctors, but Hydes... those were the eyes of Edward Hyde, the eyes the monster, anger flared in them... but it was the doctor before me, not the man... not the murderer.

"But sir, he is your friend... your aquaintence, how could your servant know more than you... But I will say this, he is not good for you master. I may be overstepping my bounds sir, but you should cast the mongrel out, he will destroy you."

My eyes surveyed his pitiful form as he wept on the ground,

"This will kill you if you let it..."

My eyes surveyed his pitiful form as he wept on the ground,

"This will kill you if you let it..."

As he wept my mind recalled the events of a few nights past, weeping from the labratory, not the weeping of Dr. Jekyll here, not the weeping I heard now. A deep sound, as if crying out from the bowels of hell itself, a revolting and pitious sound. I remembered sobbing to myself on the other side, though I knew it was Hyde, the sound itself drove me to misery. I shuddered feeling my throat tighten. No I could not cry... I had to help him.
 
Dr.Jekyll

"No," i said,as i stood and tried to regain my composure."Hes not my friend,nor do i like him at all..." i trailed off and looked at her.

I pulled her to me in a quick embrace and said in her ear,"Just promise me whatever happens youll stay away from him,".

I cant tell he that she has touched me a little more then a servant should,but she alone was someone I trusted.

I brushed her hair from her face,looked into her warm loving eyes so full of fear for me because of hyde. Then i sat down again with my head in my hands....
 
"I... I don't understand sir... why is he..."

Before I could finish he pulled me close, my eyes closed at the feel of his arms around me even if for a second. I had to admit I had a bit of a crush on the good doctor, but I knew my place, and let my love be only in taking care of him. And it pained me to hear the fear and misery etched in his every syllable,

'Just promise me whatever happens youll stay away from him'

I nodded quickly and carressed his cheek before pulling back,

"Sir I will do as you say, but I worry for you..."

My eyes searched his face for what he was holding back, who was this Hyde... he wasn't a friend, why... what was he doing here... A dark secret of Jekylls past. Hyde was probobally blackmailing him with something, and how I wished I knew, I hated to think such things... but I wished for a quick death for Hyde. He was no doubt spiraling towards one, a man like that can't live long... and I hoped it'd come soon before he took the good doctor with him...

I sat beside him like a mother with a child, cradling his form in my arms, pulling him close to my bosom, comforting, hurting for him.

OOC:eek:k

IC:I felt safe in her arms.Like i belonged there.Whats going on with me.I feels so strange and its not hyde this time.

I leaned and kissed her softly on the forehead with a smile.

"Please forgive the way ive been acting,as youve seen because of hyde ive not been myself, but i promise soon u wont see him anymore," and i ment it,even if i have to kill myself hyde will be stopped.

I looked into her eyes again and relized something.I was falling for her....


OOC: i hope u dont mind that
 
IC:

I felt his soft kiss, heard the gentle voice, it was Jekylls voice... not the half crazed, shaky, worried voice that had greeted me most days. I smiled softly holding him closer,

"I know, I know I forgive you sir. I only worry for you, only you."

She smiled and looked into his eyes, his eyes seemed so loving, caring, but so frightened. How I wished I could make all his troubles dissapear. He always seemed to do that for me, to make all my problems dissapate with a smile or a reassuring word... even 'Please get me my coffee' made all the difference.

OOC: I dont' mind it at all, he's in your hands
 
Jekyll

Ive fallin in love with my help.Like i dont have enough trouble.

Not knowing if she shared my feelings,i ran a finger softly over her lips.then i whisper in her ear softly ,"I want you to know i love you," then released the embrace,gathered my things and went to my chambers.


Realizing that these feeling have put her in worse danger.If Hyde finds out he will surely try to take her from me,to hurt her so that I willl lose my grip and he can take over.I cant let him...


OOC:i dont wanna act quickly on it we need to play on a bit more first.but i wanted her to know his feelings
 
His hand grazed gently over my lips and I felt a tremor deep in my soul. Jekyll was not the kind to make petty advances on his servants just to get sexual favors, but he had been acting strange. But so many men these day and ages... women were nothing... women slaves were even less. I swallowed hard as he leaned closer a soft whisper tickling my ears,

'I want you to know i love you,'

If he hadn't released me I might have pulled away at the words. It wouldn't have been from disgust, or anger.. but fear, fear he was saying it because of his mental state, just confused by my affections, and fear... fear that he meant it. It could never be if he did, though my soul yearned for it to be. He was a smart, handsome devoted man and it is true, I love him in return, but a servant and her master. He would be shamed by those around him, his family-- his mother. I couldn't do that to Henry Jekyll... besides as I said, he might not mean it... or mean it that way.

Her heart trembled as she sat alone in the labratory contemplating everything, trying desperately to figure out what he meant, if he meant anything at all. She rose slowly to her feet realizing this was the first time he'd ever left her alone in the lab. Her eyes scanned the area, test tubes, strange contraptions she'd never hope to understand, an injection needle and a notebook. Despite her attempts to ignore it, the words called to be read. She shook her head, she couldn't do that... but maybe she'd see what was wrong with him... what had upset him so... Just a quick peak, what would she understand...

She leafed through it briskly her eyes scanning over several words, Love, hate, fear, evil... what makes up a man.... Good-vs-Evil... 25 ml of solution A injected into subject.... Subject A: Jekyll... she thought she heard a noise and quickly shut the journal heading towards the stairs...
