Ch.1-Middle of the Night
It was Friday night and the end of a long, long day. Things at Skool have been hard this past week have been stressful with 5 different tests and 3 major projects.
I changed into my light blue pajamas, brushed my teeth and climbed into the bed. I lay on my back for a moment, taking a minute to breathe and relax. I felt someone else climb in. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"I'm here, Dib…"
Zim tenderly kissed my neck. He always does that for some reason.
I looked up and smiled. "It's about time."
Zim kissed my neck again. "I'm sorry about being so late. I had to take care of something."
I yawned. I felt Zim run his hand through my hair.
"Go to sleep, Dib. I'll be here when you wake. Don't worry."
"You're going to be with me all night, right?"
"Of course."
I closed my eyes and relaxed, eventually falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, I woke. I no longer felt Zim's arms around me. He wasn't even sleeping next to me. I climbed out of bed and looked out the window. I saw a hooded figure walking down the street. I automatically assumed the hooded figure was Zim. I slipped some shoes on and ran out the door, quietly following them.
I was lead to the woods. I climbed through the thick forest. I kept the figure in my sight until he disappeared. I looked around. I was in an unfamiliar part of the woods at night. My breathing got heavier. I had a feeling that someone was behind me. I started walking and then broke into a sprint. My heart was pounding and I was terribly frightened. I tripped over a partially surfaced tree root and ended up on the ground. I opened my eyes to see something over me...a tall, looking figure with glowing blood-red eyes and fangs that were dripping with a red liquid.
"What are you doing here?" The figure hissed. "You don't belong here…GET OUT!"
I nodded and ran as fast as I could back to the base. I ran through the door, slammed it, and ran upstairs and into the bedroom. I panted, trying to catch my breath. I climbed into the bed again, and tried to fall back asleep.
