Fear in Dark Jak's POV. This was my second submission to a drabble-fic challenge at jak(underscore)fanfics over at LiveJournal. Hopefully this isn't TOO short...

-----

Fear? I AM fear.

Or, at least, that's what everyone thinks. I know what goes through their head as they see me on the streets. "Monster". I AM a monster. You can not look at me like this and think I'm anything else. It's never that maybe I'm the angry part of Jak's subconscious... no. It's, "what IS that 'thing'!".

Not "It's Jak, someone help him!"

Or maybe it's that I never give them the CHANCE to think of helping me. My claws reach them too quickly for it to even occur to them. That MAYBE I was once normal.

And with every slice, every bite... I slowly stop being scared, myself. I really like it when they're afraid of me.

I like it when Jak screams at me to stop.

I think he fears me, too.

Good.
