I'm back with the second chapter! This one's told through Klarion's POV.

I'd like to thank everyone who read the previous chapter and took the time to fave, follow and review. I was so nervous about posting this whole thing, so thanks for the support! :)

I watch my pet as he sleeps. It's ironic how something that looks so peaceful can be capable of producing so much chaos.

Chaos, beautiful chaos. That's what makes my pet so valuable. After all, don't they say that the most treasured gems are chaotic inside?

Chaos is true, chaos is genuine. Clear and sincere, just like my pet.

I brush red locks away from his face. "My beautiful chaos..."

~o~o~o~o~

I can barely even remember the time when my pet still fought, when he still hung around those baby heroes and his good-for-nothing uncle who could never appreciate his true potential. He fought, and he fought hard, but in the end, he finally gave in. He was right to, look at how much happier he is with me.

"Meow."

"Fine." I sigh and start up a surveillance spell. Teekl just told me not to be complacent so now I'll see what everyone else is up to. Red smoke poofs up in the center of the room and swirls into a circle as I finish the spell. Images start to form in the fog. I crack my knuckles. Let's see what the weather is today.

Batman still pouty, Flash still a loser, Justice League still dumb, Nabu still a geezer, Vandal still scheming... nothing new.

Teekl hisses behind me.

"What now?" I ask, irritated. Stupid cat. Now that I think about it, she's been a lot moodier than usual lately.

"Mreow." She jumps onto my shoulders.

"An intruder? If someone other than you, Wally and I were here, I would have known." We're in my pocket dimension, after all. No one enters without me knowing.

Teekl purrs and I rub her little cat head.

"Okay, fine." I cast another spell, a prophecy spell of sorts. After all, I can't afford any unknown dangers lurking around. I have to protect my dear pet.

An image forms in the smoke. A bird. Then a clawed hand strokes it and the bird leans to the touch.

I smirk. This is obviously my pet and I.

The smoke suddenly turns shades darker as shadows engulf the bird and start to drag it away from the hand. Start to drag my pet away from me.

No.

"NO!" I instantly throw a fireball as Teekl jumps off me. "NO NO NO! THIS CAN'T HAPPEN! I KILLED THEM ALL! I KILLED THEM! THERE'S NO ONE LEFT WHO POSES A THREAT!" They CAN'T take him away. He's my chaos, my prize! I won him!

"Meow."

" 'Calm down'?!" I hiss "Tell me, how can I calm down when these... 'shadows' are trying to take what is rightfully mine!"

"Mreow!"

"I'll just kill them all, then! Everyone who poses a threat to my little runner! Vandal can go hang himself!"

"Klar-"

"WHAT!?" I spin around, ready to throw fire at whoever decided to bother me right now until I realize who had called out to me.

My precious little possession, looking so lost and alone, needing me so badly. I internally smile as I realize he didn't even flinch at the sight of me ready to incinerate whatever was in his general direction. Good little runner...

"What is it, pet? Can't sleep?"

My poor pet sadly shakes his head. "Will you stay with me? At least until I can fall asleep again?"

"Anything for you," I'd like to say. But unfortunately, this revelation won't let me spend proper quality time with my pet.

I walk towards him. "I'm sorry, I can't. I'm very busy right now."

"Oh.. maybe I can stay here, then?"

Sadly, no, he can't. If my precious little runner were to catch a glimpse of the heroes, it might make him more self-aware. Or worse, trigger his pesky little memories, though that's still very unlikely. "No, Wally, you have to go back to your room."

His already-weak smile instantly drops. "Oh..."

I look into his eyes and instantly see his conflicted emotions. Confusion, sadness, disappointment. His eyes tear up slightly.

So hurt, so fragile, so breakable.

Beautiful.

But I care deeply for my little runner, and it hurts to see him so sad. "But I suppose Teekl can go with you." I motion to Teekl and she jumps off her perch to join us on the ground.

His eyes instantly brighten up. "Yes please!"

Such an enthusiastic pet. "Hey," I say as I cast a sleeping spell on him, "sleep, okay?" I don't want my precious pet to lose sleep and become tired.

"Alright. Good night, Klarion." He smiles at me then out of nowhere, gives me a hug before leaving. I nearly jumped at the sudden contact. He has never hugged me before.

I feel a flutter of glee in my chest. Wally truly belongs to me- his loyalty, his trust, his affection, everything.

"Sleep, my precious pet," I whisper as I walk back to where I was casting earlier, "I will never let the shadows get you."

~o~o~o~o~

"Klarion?"

"Yes?" I turn from my work to see my pet back from a stroll.

"Um..." he looks away for a second and I notice that he's trying to hide something behind his back. I feel rage swell inside me. He shouldn't feel so shy around me. "Can I... have a birdcage? And some seeds?"

Slightly stunned, I wordlessly materialize his bizarre request.

"Thanks Klarion!" he smiles at me before running off, requests in hand. Despite having been inside his mind, my little runner is still so unpredictable sometimes.

I grin. Just like chaos.

I quickly shake my precious runner out of my thoughts and look back to my work. I don't care who I go up against. No one is taking my possession away from me.

~o~o~o~o~

Wally is crying. My precious pet is crying, sobbing uncontrollably. Why?

I sit next to his miserable form. "What happened, Wally? Tell me." I say as I run my hand up and down his back. Don't cry, pet. Let me stop the pain.

He struggles to get up and control his ragged breathing. "I...took in a bird..."

I glance next to him and true enough, there is a bird. A robin. Dead. And he is crying about it.

"I can see that." No. He is not supposed to cry over a dead robin. He doesn't need a Robin! He needs me! Only me! His love and tears are mine and mine alone! "Its wing is broken."

My broken pet looks up and cries even harder. I can feel his sadness, his devastation, his flurry of emotions.

His chaos.

"Klarion, can you-?" he chokes out, "I-I can't..."

"Shh, it's alright. I'll take care of it for you." Anything for my pet, anything. I will get rid of the shadows for you.

I will the bird away and Wally looks up once more. I stare in awe at his eyes, those bloodshot eyes that hold so much emotion, so much brokenness. I want to be the one to fix him.

"I just didn't want it to leave me, okay!?" he suddenly says. "Is that so wrong? I just didn't want to be left alone..."

"Is my pet so afraid of being alone?"

My poor pet nods. Silly little runner.

"Why? I'm here and I will never leave you alone."

He looks up at me as my words hit him and instantly tears up again. He tackles me. "Klarion! Don't leave me...ever."

I smile as I hold him and stroke his soft hair. Of course I won't leave him. I will never leave him. He is far too valuable, far too precious.

"Of course. I will always be here. Sleep, my pet. It will be better in the morning." I cast a sleeping spell and he goes limp in my arms. After a while of cradling him like the jewel that he is, I set him back down and pull the covers over his sleeping form.

I hug him and lean in close. "Never," I whisper in his ear. "I will never let you go. You are mine."

Even in his sleep, I can feel his emotions stirring up a storm. His thoughts battle his subconscious, and he longs for wings he tells himself he doesn't need. He is utter chaos inside.

Chaos, beautiful chaos. That's what makes my pet so valuable. After all, they say that the most treasured gems are chaotic inside.

Chaos is beautiful, chaos is lustrous, chaos is a jewel.

Priceless.

"My precious chaos..."


I'll admit, I think this chapter wasn't as "strong" as the previous one. The next(and last) one though, will hopefully be much better. In my opinion, the next one told through Teekl's POV has more interesting stuff. The only thing this chapter really revealed was what Klarion was freaking out about. I still enjoyed writing for a creepy and possessive Klarion, though XD

The "most treasured gems are chaotic inside" bit actually came from watching Scam City. In the episode on Bogota, there was a part about fake emeralds being sold. There was this emerald expert who was asked how to tell a real emerald from a fake one. He said that "nature does not repeat itself", therefore, a natural emerald is supposed to be "chaotic" inside since there's a lot of "chaos" in nature. He even described the internal structure of the natural emerald he was examining as "chaos". I also did some research on natural vs synthetic gems and apparently, natural gems are more valuable than synthetic ones. Ironic, right? Despite all the imperfections, impurities and "chaos", a natural gem is still more valuable than the "too perfect" synthetic ones because of all their flaws. Life lesson right there, huh? XD

Reviews are much appreciated :)
