Chapter 1
Julien POV
I don't own AHKJ or any of the characters
A couple days have past, sense Clover came back. After Karl tried to brainwash her, and tried to make her kill me. Ruining two lives in one, he would ruin my life, and also ruining Clover life. She would have realize that she killed me. That she would have failed her job. In the end he failed. Clover never gave up, and our love saved us. Dorothy saw that and told him that. Other then us, she was the first to stand up to him. Everyone has bravery inside them, and can stand up. Karl hasn't been founded, he isn't at his base. Which means he has moved somewhere else. He also knows that we are after him. Knowing that he has made a grant mistake. We will no longer be trick by him. No longer letting him go out with his plans. As for Avery, she won't be a bother anymore.
They found news on Avery. Karl hasn't still hasn't been found. I know we won't find him. He is afraid of us. Knowing his last plan has failed so horribly. Figuring that it was his master plan. That he was finally took care of me. How that failed so badly for him, it worked out for us in the end. I want to find Avery, and make her pay for what she has done.
I have been sitting at my throne, and doing the work I have to. So that Clover can recover and get better. People of the kingdom have been trying to find Avery. Seeing that she was only a spy for him. Who never cared for the kingdom. She would have been just like my uncle. Only caring about ruling a kingdom. Seeing that Mo Mo has enter the plane. Looks like he has some news.
"Mo Mo did you find her?" I ask
"We did find her." Maurice said "I have to tell you that she died."
Avery is dead? Sure I want to make her pay. But she can no longer hurt anyone. Or try to take over the kingdom. Just like my uncle is trying to do. One less person to deal with. Getting down from my throne and he takes me over to her. A female black lemur is looking over her. Her name is Aqua, and is a doctor. More trusting then Dr. S. Lemurs feel safer with her. Because she is a lemur, and we can trust her. I know she won't betray us, like Avery did. She's totally in love with Horst. I am happy for him. He is finally over Mary Ann.
"So how did she die." I ask
"Her head was smashed," Aqua said "someone was very strong."
Aqua knows what she is talking about. I have no idea what she is talking about. She looked after Clover, while she was asleep. Making sure she was fine. So I believe what she states. Looking over at the traitor. She deserve what she got. No knowing who killed her. The Sky Gods were looking after us.
Deciding that I am bored with kingly duties. Which I have been doing. I do care about my people, and look after them. I like to have fun, and make sure my people have fun as well. Unlike how my uncle ruled the kingdom. We haven't seen him for awhile now. Wondering what he has planed next. We will be ready for him. At least I hope we are. Not wanting the kingdom to be put into danger again. Deciding to visit Clover.
Clover gave her life to save mine. Knowing she was doing her duty as a bodyguard. Yet she began more then a bodyguard to me. Still holding her close, she remains limp in my arms. Tears fall down my face. I love her, I don't want let her go. I just got her back. Only to end up losing her again. I won't forget her, and what she has done.
"I will always love you." I say "I have a kingdom to run, the people need me. Otherwise Uncle King Julien will come back. I don't want the kingdom to suffer. You would tell me to let you go, and still run the kingdom."
Even those I don't want to let her go. She would tell me that, knowing she did her duty. So I can be safe and still run the kingdom. The people need me to rule them. Clover begins to cough, and takes deep breaths. Tears of happiness form in my eyes. She came back. I hold her close. So happy to see her again.
"I love you Julien." Clover whispered "I won't leave you again."
"I know you won't." I say "Let's take you home."
She was trying to head home. Before Karl kidnapped her and held her as his hostage. The kingdom has missed her. I have missed her the most. Helping Clover walk, as we head back. She closes her eyes, seeing that she is still breathing. Knowing she has been though a lot.
Standing in front of her hut. I have been visiting her a lot. As she recovers and gets better. Knowing she is returning to duty soon. She wants to return to duty. Yet she knows I want her to recover, so she doesn't get hurt again. Next to her is a small hut, which belongs to Crimson. I have decided she can stay. She has suffered a lot. She did see Clover dead in my arms, and it did mess her up. Of course the kingdom doesn't trust her. She understands that, and wants to prove that she can be trustworthy. She working to help out the kingdom.
I open up the door, and see Clover sitting on a chair. Still have cuts on her fur. They will heal, and some will remain scars. Fur will clover most of them. I don't care about the scars, I still see her as beautiful lemur. Seeing that she is writing. She has been doing that a lot. Aqua tells me its therapeutic for her. Telling me that it is helping her out. I am glad that it's helping her out. She has been though a lot. I want her get better, knowing things like this take time. She can take all the time she needs. She saved the kingdom, and saved my life. Who turns over to me, and I see her smile.
"Shouldn't you be at your kingly duties?" Clover asked
"I got bored," I say "anyway I wanted to see you."
Walking over to her, and she comes to my arms. She's happy to see me as well. Knowing that Maurice will do the duties. Which he has done before. When ever I slack off, to have some fun. I kiss her on the lips. Knowing that I love her, and she loves me. This is true love, unlike with Karen, may she rest in peace. Crimson wasn't love, I just liked her a lot.
"It's always nice to see you." Clover said "I do miss working with you."
"I am a fun guy." I say "You will come back soon."
I kiss her on the lips again. We just hang out with each other, and I have fun with her. She does go to dance parties. When she feels like it. Who is a great dancer, just like me and Ted. They have become good friends, and best friends with Dorothy. They have been chatting with each other.
"So how are your parents?" Clover asked "I have seen them around."
"Its been okay," I say "I don't think they really love me."
I have been trying make us a family. Like we should be, they are my parents. Yet I always end up hurt. I just want my parents, just like any lemur would want. Yet I don't know what to think. They want their mangoes back, so they can head home. Living their lives as they have been, sense I was a young kid. She holds my face, and turns me over to her. I see the love in her eyes.
"Of course they love you, even if they don't show it." Clover said "You don't have to be related by blood, to be family. I am your family, so is Maurice, and even little Mort. The kingdom cares about you."
"Your so right Clover." I say "I still want my parents, I will always have you guys." My parents do love me, even when I don't see it. They could have just left, even those they still want their mangoes. Does a part of them still love and care about me? Their parents love them, even those they haven't came to visit. I wonder who they are, Clover has told me about them, and her grandma Rose. How she was close with her, and she was the one who taught her to fight. "Do you still have nightmares?"
She looks over at me, who does look a little tired. I have nightmares as well. Knowing her nightmares are worst then mine. Who doesn't hide them from me or her sister. She knows that we care about her, and want her to get better.
"I still have them, they seem so real." Clover whispered "I always kill you."
I am not afraid of her. I have nightmares as well, and told her about it. Its not her that kills me, but Karl and Avery. Or Karl killing her, because she didn't do what he wanted. Her voice is broken, and there are tears in her eyes. This is hard for her. She will never forget what Karl did to her. Like I will never forget and won't forgive him. She is this tough lemur, but everyone has a breaking point. This is hers, and she will get though is. Who isn't facing it alone. We are here for her.
"I'm still here, you didn't break." I say "You won't hurt me."
"I know that," Clover said "still seems so real."
"That does make sense." I say "It is not real, the real me is there for you."
She looks over at me. I see the spark in her eyes, which I love. It's who she is, and she almost lost that. Until she found it again. Nightmares may seem real, but they are just dreams. That you can get over them. Its not what my parents told me, but it was Mo Mo. Who raised me while my parents didn't.
"Just like my sister and friends." Clover said "Its nice to have you guys around."
She lets people around her, that was different from before. Only people she cares about can go in her personal space. Before she would punch them, now she feels panicky when someone gets close to her. Aqua calls them panic attacks. She will have them but doesn't have to face them alone.
I know Clover has been hurting a lot. Other then the people she calls about, she won't anyone close to her. As if their touch hurts her. Aqua has told us, it happens because of what happened to her. She trust the people that she cares about. So she doesn't panic around them. Also she will get better over time. We just have to be there for her. I will be there for her. I love and care about her.
Walking around to find her. Despite doing my kingly duties, I still have time for her. Making sure she has time recover. I want her by side, and making sure I stay safe. She isn't ready, and she knows it. Who doesn't want to hurt me. I head over to her hut. Seeing that she's in a state of panic. Wondering who would hurt her. Believing it is Becca and Abner, they hate me I know that know. She must have went to a safe place, so that she won't hurt anyone.
Aqua stated this would happen. That we shouldn't be afraid or panic as well. It will only make it worst. She the one that is panicking, we don't need to as well. We have to be there for her, and help her out. I walk over to her, and hold her paws. Knowing that she not herself.
"Hey Clover, its me Julien." I say "I know you are afraid right now, I am here for you."
Holding her close, knowing she will calm down. Once she realizes that someone who cares about her, is holding her close. So she doesn't have to face it alone. Not caring how long it takes, to calm her down. After a few minutes she calms down, and her breathing calm down again. She looks up at me and smiles.
"I heard your voice, and felt your touch, it helped me calm down." Clover said "I was having a hard time."
"That is okay Clover, people are here for you." I say "Am glad to help you out. Just like you have helped me, now its my turn."
She has helped me out, and keeping me from danger. Who saved my life. Now its my turn to help her out. At first she was trying her handle it on her own. Until she realized she need help. Still holding her close, and we kiss each other.
Clover still has them, and gets out of them. She has found ways to keep herself calm. One of them is writing. When she has one, she can calm herself down and get out if it. If its a bad one, she lets in the people she trust and cares about. Just like we care about her. Until her panic is over. Which not her fault, but is Karl's one again. He tortured her and had fun with it. He has a thing for me, now I am afraid he has a thing for Clover.
