the alarms blared loudly through willow hill. the pounding of foot steps and screams echoed through the steel enforced walls of the cell you were being held in. your wrists were aching to be released. you were only able to walk a few feet in front of you before you reached the barrier.

they rarely fed you and when they did, you didn’t bother touching the tray. you could smell the fear on each one of the guards they’d send in to feed you or give you meds to keep the beast from coming out. the rage you had pent up over the years was slowly coming to the surface. the urge to rip someone to shreds. maybe even eat them with the appetite you’ve built up over the past few weeks. It should’ve scared you, the need to kill. It did the first month. paralyzed in fear when you’d wake up with someone’s blood coating your entire body.

their whispers remained in the back of your mind.

“how can someone so beautiful be that hideous?” the guard muttered, wincing when the collar shot bolts of electricity through your body.

a loud bang from outside caught your attention, the faint outline of a dent piercing the door. the banging continued before the entire door was ripped off and struck the other wall.

“tyler?” you whispered. the Hyde approached you, teeth bared and big eyes locked on you. you arrived a few weeks after tyler did. his name was mentioned from time to time when dr. fairburn visited and tried explain your condition. they tried to condition you in their own way, feeding you so many drugs to keep the monster at bay. little did they know it just made it angrier. hungrier.

tyler’s hyde form clawed at the chains that held you captive. he growled and nodded his head towards the exit.
