Elaina Hyde

Elaina Hyde

@mselainahyde 2 years ago

Elaina Hyde woke up on the morning of April first. She sat up, rubbing her eyes. She opened them to find herself in an unfamiliar room. Papers and clothes a few sizes too small for her covered the floor. A window was in the room. She stood and looked outside. She was still in London, wonderful, but where was she? She looked down and decided the clothes she was wearing looked good enough to wear as day clothes. She walked over to the desk, looking through some of the papers. She found a hairbrush. As she brushed her hair, she kept looking. These papers… they had her name on them. In her handwriting. She looked around. There were two doors in the room. She tried one across from the bed. Locked. She tried the other door, and it opened into a hallway. Across the hall was another room. And next to it was another. She peered down the hallway, and there were similar doors all the way down. She didn’t know where she was, but she definitely wasn’t at home. She closed the door and sat down on the bed. Where could she possibly be? Why did the papers have her name on them? She looked at some on the floor. Some of them were love letters to… Helen?! “What the Hell?!” She cried and threw them down, almost in disgust. “Why Helen…? Where am I?!” she muttered. There was a cape hanging off her… the bed. Next to it was a cane that looked a lot like… No, she lost that a long time ago! She picked it up and tugged at the ends, and, sure enough, there was a sword inside. She looked around the room for some sign of where she was. She didn’t want to leave the room in fear of what would happen to her…

Alicia also woke up that morning. She grumbled angrily and opened her eyes. When she did, she saw the small, clean bedroom that surrounded her. But it wasn’t hers. She looked around, panic in her eyes and stood quickly. She ran to the closet. The clothes were small and old fashioned. What was this, the 1800s? She turned to the desk. The only things on there were writing utensils and a journal. She opened the journal, shocked to see that written on the pages was her name. And the date… “Huh,” she mumbled, “I guess it is the 1800s.”

Where was she?! She glanced around and finally noticed the towering, half-built… machine-thing in the room. Nope, she was out. She walked over to the door, and opened it. Across the hall was a door. And next to it, was another door. The hall was full of doors. She walked out of the room, looking around the building. To anyone who saw her, she looked different. She was taller, her hair was less curly. She wore blue jeans and a t-shirt. A scowl was in place of her normal grin.

Somewhere, some time else, another Alicia woke up. She stood up, stretching and yawning. Then she realized she wasn’t at the society. She looked around, panicked, and took in her surroundings. It was a bedroom, but not hers. It was still clean. There was a chair and a desk, and a closet. She opened the closet, and all the clothes looked strange. Blue pants and shirts with pictures on them. Something vibrated. She turned around. Weird glowing box thing? What? She backed away, leaving the room. There were stairs. She walked down them, nervous.

A man’s voice called up to her, “Alicia? Is that you?”

She froze. She knew that voice. “O?” she asked.

“What? Who’s O? Are you feeling okay?”

She frowned. “I… I’m fine. Yeah. Okay.” she walked to the voice. Where was she? She walked into the kitchen, looking around the house in amazement. There were so many weird things! She looked up at the man, and… That was O. He was definitely O. He had to be.

He looked at her and frowned. “Alicia…? You look… Weird. You’re shorter, and your hair… Are you okay?” He asked.

She blinked. “What?”

Elaina woke up on a couch in a living room. She sat up quickly, looking around. The room was a mess, and… was that blood?! She stood and hugged herself, her eyes wide. Where was she?! “H… Hello….?”

Helen entered the room, coming in through what appeared to be the front door, only… she didn't look like Helen. Standing several inches taller, this Helen had darker eyes and longer hair and seemed to be utterly exhausted, judging by the bags under her eyes and the slump of her shoulders. She froze at the sight of Elaina and stared, her eyes narrowing. “Who are you…?”

Elaina turned around and smiled wide, then frowned slightly. “Helen…? It’s… it’s me, Elaina, why… do you look different?” She stepped towards her.

Helen took a step away, a frown tugging on her lips. “You are not Elaina… How did you get in here? How do you know my name?” She demanded, wincing and pressing a hand to her forehead as a jolt of pain went through her temple.

Finally, Elaina walked out of her room. She didn't know where to go, so she started walking. She finally reached a set of doors that read "infirmary". Well, that meant, like, hospital, right? Someone had to be in there. She knocked, bouncing on her toes nervously. The door pushed slightly inward, but she was too nervous to open them and walk in. She shouldn't have left the room.

"Frankly, I've no idea," admitted Weir. "But I've spoken with other lodgers here, and the place does seem to be a bit of a nexus for anomalous activity." He shrugged, and smiled. "What's one more?"

Avatar

Elaina Hyde  Jekyll1886 • 2 years ago

Elaina blinked. "Okay, well, I don't know what "nexus" or "anomalous" means, but there's another Elaina? Where is she, I want to meet her. I think she was writing love letters to my Jekyll, and that's creepy. We have the same name." She shuddered slightly. Homosexuals.

(I can't take myself seriously, writing "homosexuals")

Jekyll1886  Elaina Hyde • 2 years ago

"'Nexus' means 'center' or 'hotbed'; 'anomalous' essentially means 'unusual'. But, yes, there's another Elaina, this dimension's Elaina. She's shorter than you...younger, too. Hair's naturally brown. And, if you saw love letters of hers, she was likely writing them to Helen. Our dimension's Helen, if you have a Helen in yours."

"No, no, I don't hate her. She's probably my closest friend. She's just... the person that made me and all, I was in her head once. And a lot meaner. But it's strange to think about dating her. Besides, she has a fiancé."

"Oh? Well, that's how it is at home, too... I was part of Helen, then we got seperated... I turned good, long story, then I got a Hyde, Elise, and Helen got another Hyde, Hela. That wasn't a very smart thing for either of us to do..." she grumbled.

"I saw her clothes, she looks smaller than me... Hela's probably going to kill her!"

Meanwhile, in the other dimension;

Helen's ragged breathing began to die down as she lost consciousness, appearing to be merely resting for a moment before someone else opened their eyes. Hela rose to her feet, her lips twisted into a smirk below her charcoal eyes. “Hello there, little one…” Elaina looked up at her with fear in her eyes. This Hela looked scarier than the one she knew. “H-Hela…? You…” she trailed off, backing up. “Oh good, you know my name, too…” Hela chuckled and dipped her hand into her pocket, drawing out a sharpened knife. “You're quite an interesting specimen…”

"Bloody Hell..." said Lewis.

'Can't even catch a damn break in the infirmary.

He pulled out a small, round gadget from his waistcoat pocket.

"Dr. Jekyll?" he spoke into it. "Have you a moment?"

"Dr. Weir?" came a voice from the device.

"Yes," answered Lewis. "If you're not busy, would you mind checking my current dimension and any related ones for anomalies? There's someone here who's not native." He chuckled. "Well, besides me. Newly arrived--some other dimension's Elaina or Helen. We're worried our own Elaina may've gone missing."

"Right, then. I'll have to recalibrate." A small laugh. "It's never dull there, is it?"

"Afraid not," replied Weir with a gallows grin.

Elaina Hyde  Jekyll1886 • 2 years ago

Elaina watched, smiling curiously. "That's an interesting gadget! How does that work?"

Again, meanwhile.

Elaina looked at the knife and gasped, stumbling back and falling onto the couch. She curled up, hugging her knees, and staring at Hela with wide eyes. “What's wrong, Elaina…? You seem frightened…” Hela stepped closer, running her finger along the flat side of the blade. “Surely you remember our deal…” Elaina whimpered, confused. “N… no…? Wh-what deal…? Hela, I don't even know where I am!”

"It's a transdimensional communication apparatus. Invented by the fellow on the other end, a different dimension's Dr. Jekyll. I've no idea how it works, frankly. Only that it does, and is quite useful."

In another realm, Harry Jekyll recalibrated his Sensor Array. He tuned it first to Weir's current dimension, then began a sweep of others which might be related. While he waited for the results, he took the liberty of correlating the Jaunt Array with the Sensor Array. That way, in the event anyone needed to be teleported, the Jaunt Array would already be tuned to the proper dimension.

Other Alicia looked around, seeing two girls. She walked up to them. "Um, hello...? I don't know exactly where I am." She said. She looked like Alicia, but taller, and angrier.

Nyx frowned and promptly elbowed Elaina in the side, her tone exasperated. "No, we said we'd bring them food! I'm not going to just leave. Not yet." She turned her attention to the red head before them, blinking hard. "Alicia?"

"I'm glad it was no worse than that," admitted Lewis. He did not easily let things shake him, but his concern for Elaina was almost...paternal.

I'd wager those bloody Narrators are to blame for this mess... he thought. A dark look crossed his face.

Elaina smiled at him.

Alicia frowned, then scowled. "How do you know my name?!"

Other Elaina frowned. "You're not the one that we know... she must've been swapped, which means she's here! Nyx, Alicia's here!"

"I don't know about that. Why would she be here, of all places?" Nyx responded and took Elaina's arm by the wrist, starting to drag her around the Alicia copy to the kitchen. "We can always ask that Weir fellow when we come back with food."

"You're a good sort, you know that, Elaina?" he reflected with a kind eye, his smile almost wistful.

Elaina smiled wider. "Am I?" She giggled.

Alicia frowned and ran after them. "Wait, I don't know where I am?"

Other Elaina sighed. "Go to the infirmary, Lewis'll tell you."

"Elaina, free food, remember?" Nyx tugged on her arm sharply. "This can wait. I can't think hungry anyways."

"You are," he said with a gentle, knowing nod. Though I may be a wee bit partial...

Elaina grinned proudly. "Of course I am!"

Other Alicia sighed and looked for the infirmary.

Other Elaina glanced at Alicia, then sighed and kept walking to the kitchen.
