The Protogen's Pet

Chapter 12 - Back to Square 1

Matthew P.O.V.

Nonono. You just got away...and now you're back to square one. Tears form in your eyes as Zircon hugs you tighter.

Zircon: Found you!~

Matthew: L-Let me go!

You try to struggle, but it's futile.

Zircon: What's the matter? Did something upset you?

Matthew: You! Release me, please...!

Zircon: HUH!? But...why? Why do you want to leave? I already told you-

Matthew: I just got back with my best friend, and now I...I am separated from her...a-again...

Zircon: Oh, pumpkin-

Matthew: D-Don't call me that, I...I'm n-not your pe-et!

Zircon: ...Sweetie, don't say that. You're back with me, safe and sound!

Matthew: No, I don't want this, I...r-release m-me...!

Zircon: I can't so that. You're mine...all MINE...I won't let you go...

Matthew: St-Stop!

You kick your legs, but they don't faze him in the slightest. Your arms are bound to your side by his hug, you can barely move!

Matthew: Please...just, l-let go o-of me...

Zircon: Nope! You belong to me, hehe!~

He lifts you up, and he sways from side to side, your feet dangling below.

Jacko: I waid I'm FINE!

Maya: Yeah, you TOTALLY look fine.

Zircon: Oh, hey guys! I brought some medical supplies!

Jacko: Thank's, I could really use it.

Zircon: Did you manage to defeat them?

Maya: We did some damage, but Jacko was about to be demolished so I had to bail him outta there.

Jacko: I had it under control! She just caught me off guard!

Maya: Sure, sure...

Jacko: Since when did YOU care!?

Maya: So you DON'T see us a friends? I'm hurt.

Jacko: Oh ha ha. But you got your pet back, and that's...something.

Zircon: I'm so glad! I was so worried, don't ever run away from me again darling!

Maya: He doesn't look to pleased though.

You were still squirming under his grasp.

Zircon: There there, no need to fret. I'm here. You're safe. Relax...

But you couldn't relax, you had to go back to them...!

Jacko: He doesn't seem too...obedient.

Zircon: Don't worry. I'll give him a fitting punishment for his actions.

Oh crap. You messed up.

Zircon: Listening now, aren't ya? No, I won't hurt you. But it'll teach you to never run from me ever again.

You're back to shivering. You don't know what the punishment is, but you don't want to find out.

Matthew: ...

Zircon: I promise! You won't be in any danger, I swear. Now, let's go back home...

How did they find you...what, no...you don't want to go back. You hate this. You hate how he bridal carries you. You...you want to go home...
