The Strange Case of Mr Hyde and His Assistant

Chapter 12 - A Deal

(next day)
I rubbed my eyes, and shot up.
“I think I’ll pay a visit to Rumplestiltskin...maybe he can help me” I said and got in the shower.

I changed into a skin tight white spaghetti strap shirt with a black and red checkered long shirt, a short black skirt with black leggings that stop just at my thighs, and stiletto boots.I also put on a crimson beanie over my head and a red scarf. I applied light makeup with crimson lipstick. Smiling at myself in the mirror, despite the storm going on in my head, I felt good with the person looking back at me.

I walked out the house seeing my brother and Gracie eating breakfast at the table in the kitchen and telling them i love you.
I walked to Mr.Gold’s shop and low and behold The Evil Queen and Hyde are there
“Of course you two are here” I said in annoyance as I walked past them and right to Rumple
“Are you following us now like a little lost puppy?” The Evil Queen asked amused. I smirked in amusement. One thing I wasn't, was insecure.
“How’s your shoulder?Or did you use your dirty degenerate magic to heal it” I said smirking. She glared
“I’m a Queen...the only one here that's a degenerate is you"She said smirking making me laugh a little, which resulted in the queen glaring.
"Okay so one thing the great Evil Queen is and never will be good at is come backs. Anyways, I'm here for my own reasons...so if you don’t mind. Stop talking to me...both of you” I said glaring at Hyde. He raised a brow with a smirk
“So cold today Jessi-”
“I said don’t talk to me!”I snapped at him and gave Rumple a look.
Rumple couldn’t help but chuckle
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Your face was truly priceless.Who would of thought a 145 pound woman could make you make that face” Rumple said to Hyde with an amused smirk. Hyde glared with hatred at Rumplestiltskin.
“Silence Dark One”Hyde said through gritted teeth. Hyde looked to me
“You may not work for me anymore, but you will respect me” Hyde said. I smiled bravely, walked up to him and got close till we were inches apart. He was surprised by this but glared back at me.
“Make me” I spat out like venom.
“Don’t tempt me Jessica...or shall I tell Jekyll where you ar-”
I slapped Hyde across the face. How dare he say something like that...after what Jekyll has put me through.
“That’s too far Hyde..you know damn well what he did to me”I spat and quickly wiped my eyes thinking about all the pain Jekyll caused me
“I mean we can break our deal of me not hurting her anytime just give me the word”the evil queen said smirking. I glared at The Evil Queen with hatred.
“Would you Shut up already!God you just like to hear the sound of your own voice! You’re literally a shitty,cheap, easy imitation of Regina...I’ll be in the goddamn back when you’re done with these two and don’t worry Rumple, I won’t steal anything, unlike these two I’M not a complete asshole!”I said before Rumple could even protest I stomped back there. Everywhere I go I have to see those two….like he completely replaced me…how dare him for saying that about Jekyll to me… he was intentionally trying to hurt me...he was trying to push me away so he didn’t have to feel the guilt of replacing me...
“You’re that girl that I saw yesterday walking around town with Belle,the Mad Hatter's little sister right?” Rumple asked walking in and sitting at the desk I was sitting at.
“Yes. She was showing me around town. I didn’t really know my way yet..and she was helping me sort some issues out…”I said biting my lip looking down.
“Interesting...did she say anything about me?”He asked with hope. I giggled
“Nothing that I’m sure you haven’t already heard…”I said smirking
“Try me that’s our deal. You tell me what you and her talked about and I’ll help you...or whatever it is you came here to see me for. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. That’s how I operate. We strike a deal”
He said holding out his hand. I bit my lip but sighed
“I’m sorry...Belle’s my only friend here really….I can’t betray her trust like that...I guess I’ll be going then”I said standing up dissappointedly.
“Wait, wait” He sighed shaking his head, dragging out a long sigh and looking at me.
“What is it you need?You’ve abandoned Hyde, you haven’t really made someone of yourself here..so what could you possibly need?” He asked looking at me with disinterest.
“That’s just it...I just...wanted to erase the pain...I wanted all my memories taken that I had with Hyde...I don’t want to remember him anymore seeing him with the Evil Queen...it’s disgusting”I said bitterly. He smirked
“I’m sorry dearie, but I can’t erase 5 years of your life away…”Rumple said crossing his arms.
“So nothing for pain either?”I asked clutching onto my shirt where my heart is. He looked at me for a long time before sighing again.
“Well...I do have one thing…but it really isn’t for the..faint of heart”He said motioning me to follow him out to the main store
He opened a chest with a key and pulled out a small little bottle with a clear liquid in it..
“What is it?”I asked with wide eyes.
“Now see if I were to erase all of your memories, I’d need a dreamcatcher to extract it. However, this potion right here will erase Hyde and Jekyll from your memories completely. Your memories will change to similar memories, but life as it would be if they never were there” Rumple said holding it out to me
“I...I still can’t violate Belle’s privacy…”I said sadly as I bit my lip.
“It’s alright, I respect that. Belle needs a trustworthy friend right now...my price...is to let me kiss you in front of Hyde” He said smirking. My eyes widened and I backed up a bit.
“Wh-what?!”I said surprised and anger. Rumple rolled his eyes.
“Calm yourself, I’m not into you in the slightest”Rumple said. I rolled my eyes, feeling a blush creep up my face.
“Then what’s the point?”I asked confused. He sighed
“When he was in here with the evil queen, he took a necklace without striking a deal with me.. I can’t kill him since he’s part of Jekyll and the ribbon that ties them together is still very much attached.He stole from me, and to me, that is the highest disrespect..I want to piss him off..get under his skin...and from the sounds of it.. So do you...on top of me giving you this bottle” Rumple said putting it in my hands. I blushed truly considering it.
“Just...one kiss?”I said looking up at him with one eye closed holding one finger up.
“One kiss long enough for him to get a good look but yes, one kiss” He said waiting for a reply
“Won’t Belle be angry with us?”I asked biting my lip
“First of all, we’re not together at the moment, and I’d expect you to tell her right after we’re done here what happened and it was strictly staged” Rumple put emphasis on staged to make sure I knew that
“Oh thank goodness. Okay, well you feel nothing, I feel nothing, I think I’d like to piss him off but he rejected me..what makes you think he’ll care?”I asked. He chuckled
“Oh dearie, do you not see that look in his eyes when you’re walking past him?You should of heard him when I threatened to rip your heart out right before you so ironically walked in..” Rumple said to my shock
“What..did he say?”I asked with hope
“Ah, ah,ah, that would require another deal and I’m afraid there’s nothing else I want from you” Rumple said smirking. I grumbled
“Well...alright, but how can we get them back here?” I asked smirking. He smirked back.
“I’ll get them to come back, Regina not only put all of her evil in the evil queen, but her lust for me..so the evil queen won’t be difficult to have come back and since Hyde is working with her, he’ll be there” He said and went behind the curtain. He came back 10 minutes later. I was sitting behind the glass desk with my head in my hand and my elbow on the table bored. I raised a brow at him
"Well?I don't have all day y'know. I'm supposed to be having lunch with Belle"I said making Rumple sigh in annoyance.
“Stop whining.They should be here any minute, come behind the desk here” He said pulling me behind the glass desk where the register was.
I heard the door and instantly got cold feet
“Are you sure about this?” I said blushing...which would only add to the dramatics
“I’m very sure dearie” Rumple said softly and kissed me. My eyes widened but I knew at this point Hyde was there and had to be watching so I had to play the part. I closed my eyes and tried as hard as I possibly could not to look grossed out because I was not at all into this
“So you’ve brought us here to watch you two make out?If you’re trying to make me jealous that little science dork won’t do you any good” The Evil Queen said smirking. Rumple pulled back and smirked
“Oh it wasn’t you I wanted to make jealous…” Rumple said looking at Hyde. I slowly looked at Hyde seeing he wanted to say something..but he didn’t...he was glaring..and his hands were clenched.
“What’s the matter Hyde?You look quite bothered”Rumple said amused
"Oh don't mind him, he's irrelevent Rumple…"I said smirking at him.
“This is unusual of you Jessica...you’ve always had a hard time trusting people… why now” Hyde actually...sounded hurt
“Why do you care?Well let’s see I guess I figured waiting for the right guy was a bust. Wasted three years on that one only to get burned so I figured why not try a faster pace this time. Finally someone who can actually return my feelings and isn’t afraid to show them” I said glaring at him
“Let’s go. This was clearly a set up to get in your head, but that’s fine. I’m on my way to tell Belle about this now” The Evil Queen said. I gave one last longing look to Hyde
“We need to talk”He said going to take a step to me but The Evil Queen grabbed his arm
"We have nothing left to say. Take your wrag doll and go"I said coldly.
“We have places to be”She said and took him with her in a puff of purple smoke. I sighed letting my head fall
“I think it worked..I think that got to him”I said looking at the spot he was just at
“Let’s agree to never do that again...you got way too wrapped into it” Rumple said making me blush
“ME?!Shut up!I was just saying what I wanted him to understand”I said grabbing my red trench coat
“I’m going to talk to Belle and explain since I’m sure she’s already told her before I did”I said and he nodded
“Make sure you drink that going to bed...you’ll wake up and completely forget about him”Rumple said making me nodd
“Alright. Thanks Rumple”I said and walked out.
