Clover POV
I don't own AHKJ or any of the characters. This the first part of the end. Something I couldn't get out my mind and decided to write it.
The kingdom is safe and I am making sure of that. I have returned to my duties and glad that I have. Missing my duty as a bodyguard. I was trained to do that and love my job. Protecting King Julien and the kingdom as well. Which I have done countless time. Doing my duty even when it can cost me my life. I know my job and what I have to do to keep everyone safe. I know how it feels to give it all. So that Julien could live. Knowing I did my duty well. Which was suppose to protect the king and the kingdom.
Things changed and I fell in love with Julien. Working with him and keeping him from harm I started to form romantic feelings for him. I knew that I shouldn't let my feelings get in the way of my job. Believing it would do more harm than good. Letting my feelings cloud my judgment. Not wanting that to happen. I was jealous of twin who started to date and almost marrying Julien. He back out that marriage at the last second. Life when by normal until his uncle and my sister came back. Trying to take over the kingdom. I stopped that and sacrificed myself so Julien didn't have to. I lived and before I could go home I was taken by this Ring-Tailed lemur and I was taken to Karl. He held me and tried to brainwash me. It was his master plan that I would kill King Julien. I held on for weeks not wanting to be part of his plan. My love for Julien helped me out. Even my love for my sister who's life I saved. Until I realized he would just kill me. So I pretended to give in. He went with his plan and failed to do it. Dorothy told him why he failed. It was love that destroyed his plan. Even injured I managed to save Julien life. I died to save his life. In the end, I was brought back to him. He was willing to let me go for the good of the kingdom. We confessed our feelings to each other. Julien brought me home and we had our first kiss.
I slowly began to recover from what happened to me. Karl did a lot of damage to me and I had to recover from that. He did manage to maul me good and leaving scars on my body. For the first time in my life I felt broken. I felt so weak and helpless. Others began to whisper about me. Seeing the scars on me. It hurt me a lot. I was never along. Having Dorothy and we became good friends. Crimson changed for the better and was there for me. Julien was there for me and he helped me out. Just like I helped him out. Proving that he truly did love me. Not caring for the scars that I had. It made me feel better about myself. Even letting his parents go he wanted his parents to love him. Then his uncle attacked the kingdom with the help of lemurs. Most of the kingdom thought that my sister betrayed the kingdom. It was proven in the end it was Becca and Abner. Julien and I saved the kingdom. His uncle tried to weight me down. I decide not to let myself down and would no longer let others weight me down. Knowing the scars helped saved the kingdom. It proved how strong I was. It was our love that saved the kingdom.
It has been weeks and the kingdom has been a peace. Uncle is with his parents. They will make sure that he won't escape. His mother accepts me and saw how much we cared about each other. His parents do love him. They don't show it. Becca and Abner are still trapped on the island. Where his uncle held the kingdom for a bit. Knowing they will not be back anytime soon. None of the lemurs have returned either. Knowing some could return but haven't yet. The Fossa haven't attacked us since that time. I wonder why they haven't. It doesn't make sense to me. Finally, there is Karl he hasn't been back for weeks. I wonder when he's going to be back. Knowing he will be back.
Now I am looking forward to our wedding. After saving the kingdom Julien proposed to me and I said yes. With the help of Dorothy and Ted, we plan it out. Knowing it's going to be a great wedding. I can't wait for that day. Finally marrying someone I love. Never thought that would happen. Due to who I am and didn't let anyone in.
"If things worked out I would be married to him." Crimson said, "I wonder how that would have been."
"You would have broken his heart and moved on." I say "You know you would do that."
"Yes I would have and glad that you love him." Crimson said, "I never did."
Crimson knows she would do that. In the past, she has done that. Breaking up with a lot of guys and then moving on to the next one. Knowing she would have done that to Julien. Once she was finally over him. That is in the past and she has changed. She likes being part of the kingdom and having a place to call home. We have gotten close again and not going to break part again. Not letting a rivalry get between us.
It feels so nice to be back home. Being safe and sound so that I can recover from what happened to me. So much has happened and my mind still races. The memories are still fresh in my mind. How I died to save Julien. Dying isn't what I thought it was. Knowing it could happen doing my duty. I swore to protect the king and the kingdom no matter what happened. It feels like I was falling asleep and there was only some pain. I felt a peace for the first time in a long time. I came back and now living my life again. Looking at my paws and there are cuts on them. What would have happened? If I did killed Julien? What would have happened. Knowing I would feel so guilty of what I did. I couldn't live with myself if that happened.
Julien has been there for me. Spending time with me when I was in a coma. He never left my side unless he had his duties to do. We love each other and glad for that. Aqua told me it will take some time to recover. I have been through a lot. Both physically and mentally. I have lost weight and strength. Knowing I will get that back. I finally got my appetite back which I lost for a week. Never would I have thought I would be that hunger. Karl gave me to survive and nothing more than that. It's nice to finally eat again. Not having to worry about being hungry. Knowing I will have scars as well.
"You should get to bed Clover." I whisper
Julien already saw me and we had dinner together. We have been on dates after he done his duties. He wants me to recover so I can return to my duty. I find that so sweet. Knowing that he loves me. It's a nice feeling to having. Laying on my bed and stare at the ceiling. Despite being asleep I still feel insomniac. Aqua says that is normal. I lost a lot of sleep as well. Normally I can go without sleep for a few days. Becoming more paranoid when I don't. Yet I can't fall asleep since nightmares plague me. Making me feel so tired and weak. I don't like the feeling. Taking a deep breath and close my eyes. Beginning to relax and fall asleep moments later.
Seeing Julien in front of me. Seeing that he is scared and unable to run. Good, I don't have to chase after him. Of course, I could use a challenge. Julien will not give that to me. He will be an easy target to kill. I can do that without a sweat.
"Clover please don't do this." Julien said, "You are my friend. You are my bodyguard."
He's just trying to get to me. I won't let that happen. I work for Master Karl and no one else. I have no friends. No one cares about me. Not even my own sister. Who will be a target as well. I can't wait to take her out. My own twin blood on my paws. Like his blood will be on my in a few minutes. I head closer to him and see the look in his eyes. He is weak and I will kill him. Master Karl will be so happy with me.
"I work for my master Karl." I say
In that moment he tries to run from me. I grab him before he can run far. Holding him tight and pull him close. Making sure that he's unable to escape from me. I will kill him and return to my master. He looks over at me and I see something different. He's worried about me and I see a lot of caring. What is going on? No one cares about me.
"No, you work for me. You are my friend and bodyguard. Making sure I stay safe when I put myself in danger." Julien said, "You protect the kingdom when you did your duty. Karl kidnapped you and held you for a week."
He's lying to me for he's trying to get to me. Trying to make me weak so he can escape. I have no friends. I have no kingdom. Karl took me in and I became his commander. Making sure that Madagascar stays safe. King Julien is a threat to him. I will take care of him. He's spreading lies to my mind. Master Karl told me he will do that. I will not listen. Taking out a knife. I will kill him and return to my master. I will return to my home.
"Your lying King Julien." I say coldly "I will kill you to protect my master, Karl."
I let him go so I can finish my job. In a quick moment, I slice his neck open. Blood pours out of his wound and falls onto my paws. He lets out a weak gasp. Watching the life drain from him. I see a pained and sorry look in his eyes. He's barely standing his ground. He looks over at me and has a small smile. Knowing he's going to die
"I don't blame you Clo-Clo. This not your fault." Julien whispered, "I love you."
What is he talking about. Who is this Clo-Clo? Why doesn't he blame me? How isn't it my fault? What is going on? Why did he say that he loves me? No one cares about me. No one loves me. My head hurts a lot. Watching him fall to the ground dead. Lifeless eyes stare at nothing in his own pool of blood. More pain comes to my head and memories come to me. Black spots form in my vision and I black out mores later.
I wake up and realize I am home. The last thing I remember is protecting the kingdom and falling off the cliff. Why can't I remember what happened. Knowing some time as has passed. My head hurts as well, I smell blood and lots of it. Seeing some blood on my paws. Maybe I am injured and I have to get help. I see that the blood doesn't come from me. Looking at the sight before me.
"Julien!" I yell My heart beats fast and I let out a cry. I can tell that he is dead. His handsome eyes are lifeless and his neck has been sliced. I failed to protect him. I failed my duty as a bodyguard. I look at his body and memories come to me. Remembering what happened. No, I did worse than that. I was that killed him. "I killed you. I killed you. I am a murder."
"Clover," Crimson said kindly, "you are alright you are safe. I am right here for you. It's only a nightmare."
I am breathing heavily and my body shakes. A firm but soft touch holds me close. Opening my eyes and see is Crimson. She has been here and has changed. I can see that she told me she saw my dead body. It hurt her a lot and realized what she had done. She thought she was to say she was sorry. I forgave her and we are finding our bond again. Liking that she's here right on. I do feel better.
"It was so real. I killed him I killed Julien." I whisper "I could have killed you as well."
It felt so real like I truly did kill him. Feeling proud of what I did. Until I realized what I have done. Realizing that I killed the one I was supposed to protect. I could never live with myself if that happened. Or if he died because I could protect him. That nightmare is still fresh in my mind. Tears fall down my face.
"Oh, Clo-Clo I know you been hurt. He has hurt you. You will never do that." Crimson said, "You save both our lives."
She wipes the tears from my face and smiles. Remembering when she had nightmares and I was there for her. Now she is here for me. Her words are true and I feel better and myself again. He has hurt me and I am still recovering. I would never hurt Julien. I would never take their lives and I did save them.
The nightmares have gone away now. Thanks, to Julien and his dream catcher. Of course, I play a part of it as well. The thoughts of me killing Julien is in the past. I have gotten over that fear. I'm glad to have my sister by my side again. She has been there for me and it feels nice. Whenever when I needed her. She was there for me. Knowing she will always be there for me. Like I will be there for here. Nothing is going to drive us apart again. Just like with Julien.
"Is everything alright Clo-Clo?" Crimson asked
"I was just lost in thought." I say "Nothing to worry about."
"That's good to hear." Crimson said, "Are you afraid of him."
I have thought about that and still think about it. That thought hasn't truly left my mind. He has done a lot to hurt me and did break me for awhile. I recovered from that and back to my normal self. Yet I can never forget what he did to me. Memories that will never fade away but will be in the back of my mind. I let out a sigh and look over at her.
"Yes, I am afraid of him." I say. I told her everything about Karl and what he has done. She can't believe what he has done to the kingdom. Not liking him one bit. After all, he has done. I am afraid of him. It makes sense that he does. "Yet I am not going to let my fear of him stop me"
"Of course, that is you, sis." Crimson said, "I shouldn't keep Julien waiting. I'm sure that he's waiting for you."
"Yes it is and I will be heading out." I say "I will see you later. I love you, sis."
"See you later and I love you as well." Crimson said
Getting up and give her a hug. Julien is waiting for me and I don't want to keep him waiting. I'll see Crimson tonight. Walking out my hut and head over to the plane. Knowing that Julien is waiting for me. It only takes a few minutes to get to the plane. Julien smiles when he sees me. He walks over to me and we kiss each other. Maurice is standing by and smiles at us. Knowing he is happy.
"It's nice to see you, Clover." Julien said, "My kingly duties are boring without you around."
"So you have been doing your kingly duties." I say
"It's not so bad now." Julien said, "I want what's best for the kingdom. Of course, I like to have some fun."
"He has been doing well and I have been helping him out." Maurice said, "He will always be himself."
"Of course, you do. It's nice to hear that." I say "Now let's do our duties."
Kissing Julien one more time. He has become a better king. He was already a great one who cared for the people of the kingdom. Now he's truly doing his duty. He will always like to have fun. That's who he is and I love him for that. Maurice is happy about that and doesn't have to push him anymore. Or do his duties himself.
We head out around the kingdom. Julien does his duties well. Maurice is there to help him out and I will protect him. He has some to do and it won't take all day. We will take some for ourselves. Just having some time together and have fun. The day goes by without any troubles. Only had to give someone a look who was giving us trouble, He has finished his duties and we can have some time to ourselves.
"You did well today Julien." Maurice said, "Have fun you two and see you later."
"Thanks, Mo-Mo and we will." Julien said, "See you later."
He gives him a quick hug. Before Maurice leaves and has some time for himself. Holding Julien paw and he kisses me again. Today we are going for a walk around the jungle. We do live in a wonderful place. We walk around and happy to together. Just waiting for our wedding. Knowing it's going to be a great one. Dorothy and Ted are helping us out.
"Soon we will be happily married to each other." Julien said, "I can wait for that."
"I can't wait either." I say "I want to be with for the rest of my life."
"Same for me." Julien said
We kiss each other again. Knowing we will be happily married to each other. Going to spend the rest of our lives together as well. Being there and helping each other out. No matter what happens we will not leave each other. Still holding has as we walk around the jungle. Having a good time spending some time alone.
"So you two do really love each other. That's so sweet to hear and see." Karl said, "I can see that you recovered well. I can't say that about how you look."
Seeing Karl in front of us and he has a smile on his face. Knowing he was spying on us and waiting for the right moment to come at us. We were wondering when he was coming back. Knowing that he would. Even when his plans fail. He always comes back and tries to stop Julien and the kingdom. Not letting that bother me. My heart skips faster when I see him. The memories flash in my mind.
"Shut up Karl." Julien said, "Go away before your regret it."
"You sound so threatening." Karl mocked, "I am done with this."
The memories of what he did to me flashes before me. Having trouble breathing and keeping calm. That's when I realize what he said. He done but not just leaving done. He going to finish this once and for all. Seeing the look in his eyes. He is done with everyone and wants to finish it. Knowing what he means when he says by done. He's going to kill everyone.
"As if Karl. We will stop you." I say "We will not let that happen."
I take a deep breath and remain calm. Pushing away those bad memories. Like I told my sister. I will not let my fear weight me down. No matter what he does we will stop him. If we don't innocents will die. I will not let that happen. Looking over at Julien and he understands. He won't that happen either.
"We will not let that happen." Julien said, "Your crazy Karl. You have lost it. I thought it only had to deal with me."
"Of course, it does and I am finished with you." Karl said coldly, "I want to finish you all."
He has lost it now. I see the crazy look in his eyes. Of course, we will not let that happen. I will do duty until the end. Not letting any harm to come to Julien or the kingdom. Taking another deep breath and I jump at him. Taking him by surprise. I know the reason why.
"No, we are finished with you." I say "I will protect Julien and the kingdom. I will not let fear weight me down."
I begin to do what I do best which to beat up bad guys. Making sure that the kingdom stays safe from harm. Not wanting anything to happen to Julien or the kingdom. Karl does stand a chance against me. Figuring that my fear would weight me down. Now he sees that won't happen. As I fight on I no longer have any fear of him. Taking him down easy and Julien helps me out. Looking down at him.
"We leave the kingdom alone Karl." Julien said, "Or you will regret it."
"Never and I will finish everything." Karl said, "I will rise to the top and take over Madagascar. You two will not stop me. Your kingdom does not stop me."
"Your plans always fail." I say "We will stop you."
"Not this time you won't." Karl said darkly. Seeing a dark look on his face. Not liking what he said. Standing by Julien and protect him. He does the same thing for me. We will protect each other. He lets out a laugh. He has his paws behind his back. "That will do nothing. I made sure that that."
Knowing we are in danger because of my tail. Yet I don't see any danger. We take a few steps back from him. He just smiles as if he has just won. We won't let that happen. Trying to find the danger and see nothing what is going on? Moments later I feel a sharp pain in my chest and feeling blood coming out of me. Falling to the ground and hold my side.
"Julien!" I say
If I failed to protect him I will not forgive myself. That means I failed to protect him and save who I love. Loving over at him and gasp. He has been hit as well. It can't be he had no weapon. How did he shot us both? Knowing he got me well. Losing blood and feeling so weak.
"I call them snipers. They can shoot from a distance. I locked them onto you and maybe sure you couldn't escape. But I was off a bit. No matter you will not stop me." Karl said, "Your kingdom is next."
"No, I will not let you harm my people." Julien said
He's less injured than me. I see the look in his eyes wanting to protect the kingdom. Watching him run over to Karl. I did teach him to fight and Karl will be taken by surprise. Watching him attack Karl and fight for his kingdom. I will not let him do that alone. Feeling so weak and hard to breathe. I will not give up. I will not give in. The kingdom will remain safe. Karl will be taken care of. Even if I have to make choice.
"I will not let you harm the kingdom anymore." I say
Julien is handling him well and I know he's in danger. Getting up from the ground a fighting through the pain. Slowly walking over to them and we will save the kingdom. Even when I have to make a hard choice. Karl throws Julien on the ground and see Julien in pain. Karl starts to run and I find the strength to stop him.
"You won't defeat me." Karl said, "I will kill you all."
"You are wrong about that." I say "Not if I kill you first."
Trying to sound threatening. I don't like that choice. I haven't killed anyone before. Yet this the only the kingdom will be safe. Karl will always come back until he gets what he wants. I will be forgiven for what I am about to do. He realizes that I am not lying about that. He tries to escape me but can't. Protecting the kingdom gives me strength. Taking a deep breath and snap his neck moments later. Karl becomes limp and I throw him off of me. He is finally gone and the kingdom will be safe.
"You had to do it. The kingdom is safe now." Julien said
"Yes it is and I had to." I say
He's sitting by a tree and is bleeding bad as well. I walk over to him and feel so weak. Whatever strength I had is gone. Find it hard to breath and I fall the ground. To weak and tried to move anymore. Julien finds the strength to pull me close. We are so close to the kingdom and they must have heard what happened. I know they will be to late. We are dying and there's no chance to save us. Once again there is little pain. Not knowing how much time we have. Laying my head on his shoulders and we hold paws.
"Always and forever I will love you Clover." Julien said
"Always and forever I will love you Julien." I say
This is our final moments and we will always be together. Only wishing that we didn't have to leave the kingdom. That I didn't have to leave Crimson. Julien is thinking the same thing. The kingdom will be upset by this. Knowing they will survive. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made so others can be safe. I feel that I am leaving this world and see the light. Only focusing on the good memories and my love for Julien. Closing my eyes for a final time and accept the light.
I had this idea for awhile and couldn't let it go. I saw Karl kill them and they died together. So I made it until a One-Shot. Something that could have happened. Everything was doing good for them so something bad happened to them. The next One-Shot is the true ending to my stories.
