Summary: Henry thinks about Mina, Hyde and their demons
Author's Notes: I own neither of them, I just think they belong together!
there’s things I’ve done I can’t erase,
every night we fall from grace
I watch her quietly, she doesn’t even have to be doing anything for me to find her fascinating, because that is what she is to me, fascinating… she’s all poise and grace and curves and yet within that body lies a demon.
She seldom lets it out but when she does its all I can do to stop Hyde coming to the fore, a red rag to a bull… to a beast. I know he wants her, almost as much as I; but I also know that he only wants her because like him, she would never submit, and he likes a challenge…she would be that challenge…and it would spite me… I don’t know which he would enjoy more…
If I let him, or probably even if I didn’t, I know he would just reach out and take her and the vampire in her would probably enjoy the challenge, but it would be wrong, so terribly wrong… and yet why do I spend every moment thinking of her? Why does he spend every single moment planning what he’s going to do to her?
I’ve sat back and watched and have not been able to stop so many things that Hyde has done… all the life he has taken, all the anger, all the rage. But I know she has taken life, such is the nature of her beast, such is the nature of mine… hers was forced, mine self inflicted, which is worse?
She looks like heaven… maybe this is hell… all I know is that all the blood on my hands would not end with my absolution at her feet…
