1:Goodbyes
How had it gotten this way? I glared at Tak and felt the cold metallic sting of the gun against my throat. What was taking her so long? Shoot me. End it. Her malicious smile said it all. She enjoyed my suffering But it wasn't the cuts and bruises that hurt the most, it was the fact that I'd never get a chance to say goodbye. Dib and Gaz. I'd been staying with them for a few months now. They'd given me a place to call home, a refuge. And now they were lying at my feet, each of them with enough tranquilizer in their systems to keep them asleep for weeks. Zim was probably taking them back to the Massive, where the empire could use them. At least they'd live. I let one tear fall as Tak pulled the trigger.Before you die, they say your life flashes before your eyes. But then, I hadn't started living until recently. Escape from the empire, the crash, becoming human. I shut my eyes and let it play through my mind one more time.
"Goodbye."
This is just the prologue, more coming soon. R&R, please!
