You're The Only One That Can Save Me Now: Chapter 2
Trusting
----------
The next morning, a raise of the sunrise made it through Dib's curtains and crawled across his face.
He winced and opened one eye slightly, as he slowly sat up in his bed.
With a slight yawn, he through back his blankets and slid his legs off of the side of the bed.
Dib slowly got off of the bed, he was just about to touch the floor, when his foot touched something, that wasn't the floor.
He quickly retracted his foot, and looked down to see a pair of red eyes looking back at him.
"Zim? I didn't think that you would still be here"
Dib continued to look at the Irken invader as he awaited an answer.
But he didn't get one, the alien just continued to look straight back at the boy.
----------
Dib got dressed, then went back to his room to see Zim sitting onto of his bed looking out the window.
"See I knew it, you were just waiting for me to drop my guard before you made your escape" Dib said pointing a finger at Zim.
He then noticed that the window wasn't even open, nor was Zim trying to open it.
Dib sighed, then lowered his finger.
"Well since you can't eat earth food, doesn't mean that I have to starve with you, I'm going to go and eat, and you'd better be here when I get back".
He glared heavily at the tiny invader, before leaving the room.
----------
"What's with him?" Dib asked himself as he made his way down the hallway.
Gaz had already left for skool, and his father was a work. So it didn't matter whether he talked aloud to himself.
"But then again…….."
Dib lost himself in the thought of the vision that he saw last night.
He shook his head, trying to rid his mind of the thought of what else they might have done to the Irken.
----------
Crimson liquid lay all round the small room.
In the middle of it all was a tiny Irken, with two much larger ones over him.
"You see Zim, we only sent you to that planet to get you out of the way of the real invaders" Tallest Red said sternly.
"You're not even a real invader Zim, you're a defect, nothing but a useless defect" Tallest Purple added.
"Now, we're going to do what we should have done in the very beginning"
"If you do happen to live through this Zim, and you try and run away, we'll be sure to find you……and we will kill you" Tallest Red said before they began moving in.
They got closer and closer, before everything went red.
----------
Dib started breathing heavily, then froze when he felt something jerk the end of his trench coat.
He looked down to see three claw like fingers, engulfed by a black glove gripping onto his coat.
"Zim" dib said, as he jerked the end of his coat out of the aliens grasp.
He then looked back over to Zim, to see something that he had never seen before on the Irken's face.
The look of worry, and fear.
A crash of thunder shook the house as it rumbled in the sky.
Zim jumped at that crashing sound, and reacted quickly to it.
He ran up to Dib, and went right behind him, as if he was using him as a shield to protect himself from the noise.
Zim was barely touching him, but Dib could still feel him shaking from behind him.
Just by the way Zim was reacting to all of this, Dib began to see that Zim didn't think that it was just a noise at all.
And why he didn't try to run away after being captured, in fact not even captured.
It was because he thought that the noise was his leaders coming to get him again.
And the reason why he didn't run away is because they knew where his base was.
Dib sighed, then grabbed the Irken's shaking hand.
"Common, I have to eat sometime today" Dib said calmly, as he led Zim down the hallway, down the stairs and into the kitchen.
----------
Dib had just gotten a bowl cereal, before noticing what Zim was doing.
Even thought the alien was allergic to water, that didn't stop him from looking at it.
By this time it was pouring outside, and Zim was just sitting on the counter looking out of the window at it.
"I never would have guessed that Zim could look that harmless" Dib said silently, as he placed another spoon full of cereal into his mouth.
The door bell rang, and at the same time Zim had made it off of the counter and under the table in record time.
Dib opened the door slower then usual, not taking any chances just incase it was Zim's leaders on the other side.
Lucky for them both, it wasn't.
The only on there was a little green and black dog, with a very large zipper on the front.
Dib rolled his eyes at GIR's disguise, know that Zim probable could have done better.
"Hi big-headed boy, is mater here?" GIR asked, as he continued to drink his Suck Monkey.
Over the months, Dib had become accustom to both Zim and GIR calling his head big in more ways then one.
"Yes he's here, but what do you want?"
"I wants to see him, it gets reallyyyyyy boring without him. So I was wondering if I can stay here too!!"
Before Dib could even think of an answer, GIR had brushed past him and ran into the kitchen, and had joined Zim under the table.
Dib followed the little robot into the kitchen, then sat back down at the table to finish his breakfast.
"Are we playing hid and go seek with Dib master?" GIR asked through laughing.
Dib grinned slightly at GIR's remark, as both Zim and GIR crawled out from under the table.
GIR climbed onto of the table still drinking his slushy, slurping very loudly.
Dib looked over at Zim, who was know sitting across the table from him.
He noticed that he kept looking around the room and out the windows, Dib could tell just by looking at him the he was agitated.
But he had no idea what to do, in order to help him.
