I took her hand, carefully. As she began to lead me God knows where I wondered if this was a good idea. Hyde was dangerous, that much I did know but truth be told I had, to some extent gotten used to him. Yes he had killed, yes he had maimed and he had raped but he was one thing that I was not; free. Hyde made no promises, had no regrets, did not excuse any of the things he did... I did not condone him, it was more pity and yet I could not shake this feeling.
"Where are we going exactly?" I said, my body taunt with the unknown and the excitement of meeting people like me, people who could help me. I had only just met Rose and yet a connection had been struck up, he had never felt this close to a woman since Lisa, and maybe, just maybe she understood in a way so few had been able to.
What are you doing now Henry? Hyde's voice was dark, held a note of anger I knew could ignite if it was sparked. It was held in check, a cool anger, waiting for the right moment to explode. He made himself known, a slight prickling of all the skin on my body, the hairs on my arms raising, a pain in my stomach that took my breath away for a few seconds. He could take control, and he would if he was provoked... or simply because he could. I groaned in response to this, stopping for a moment, my breath caught in my throat. He was good at it, good at keeping you on the edge of oblivion... simply waiting.
It has nothing to do with you Hyde I said, in a bid to shut him out.
Oh but it has everything to do with me... his voice was like a purr. I hated to think what he would do when he finally decided he wanted her...
I gripped onto Rose's hand as if it was the last thing on the Earth keeping me sane, and maybe it was...
