Chapter 2
I woke up and I noticed I was in a bed. Was I home? I looked around and I noticed that I wasn't home, cause I fainted in a household of aliens.
"Why did you pass out?" Asked a voice I turned to the direction I heard the voice it was Purple. I sat up.
"I fainted cause I guess with everything that has happened to me, I guess it was too much. I'm sorry I fainted. I've been through a lot. I lost a love one, my father decided to move. Right now my father is at the hospital. He is ill due to his emotions. I've been trying to be strong lately, but even I can't stay strong forever." I said and started to cry again.
"Red told me you lost your mother. We Irkens don't have parents. Since we Irkens discovered that we can be genetically made, it made the young from going through lots of pain. You were passed out for 3 hours to let you know. Do you mind me asking you when you lost your mother?" Asked Purple He seems to be upset. I wiped my tears and tried to claim down.
"It was 3 weeks ago when I lost her. Before she passed away she was coughing blood up. I was about to call 911, but she took the phone away from me. My father didn't bother trying to call for help or take her to see a doctor. One day she couldn't walk anymore and was bedridden for days till one day she passed away. When she coughed blood up that was 2 years ago. When my mother was bedridden my father wouldn't let me into her room. My father one time said the doctors would do something terrible to her, so it is best she doesn't get help. Can you translate something for me? My mother handed me something before she became bedridden. I keep it with me almost always." I said digging into my pocket and got out the letter and handed it to Purple. He took it and fell out of the chair he was in. He sat back in the chair.
"Your mother was Irken! You're a hybrid! Your a natural born. The letter is in Irken explaining why she didn't get medical help. I remember a female Irken asking to take a vacation. I looked at her records one day this was 25 Earth years ago for you, but as I was saying when I looked at her records after she left, she had a medical problem. The illness she had if she stayed on Irk, she could of have been saved. I guess she didn't want me nor Red to know that she was ill. On Irk we considered those that are sick weak. I think I met her a few times before she asked for a vacation. She was just like you always wanting to help the weak and care for them. Does the name Rita ring any bells?" Asked Purple I was shocked at this new information. When I heard my mother's name, I was surprised even more.
"Yes. Can you translate the letter for me so I can read it?" I asked He stood up from the chair.
"Yes, I can do that. Can you walk around?" Asked Purple I got out of the bed I was in. I was fine.
"Yes. Does this mean I have to call you Tallest Purple?" I asked He shook his head.
"No, you weren't raised among the Irken Empire. Don't worry about making the bed the computer will do that." Said Purple and left the room. I went to follow him, but lost him. I was now lost in the hallway. I came across Zim.
"Hey, Zim." I said to catch his attention. He looked up at me.
"So your feeling better? Come Lisa-human so you can leave." Said Zim waving his hand for me to follow him.
"Zim, I don't think the Tallests want me to leave your base just yet." I said Zim stopped.
"Why would they want a human like you to stay a little longer? Zim sent the Dib-shit home. Zim doesn't need any more problems as it is. Leave." Demanded Zim pointing his finger to where I guess the exit was. I flinched at his tone in his voice.
"I'm not going to leave." I said softly Zim glared at me. Zim got closer to me. He heard me. I knew I just pissed him off.
"LEAVE NOW!" bellowed Zim I heard a smack. Zim reached to where he was smacked at. I saw Red and Purple standing there, now they were mad. No wonder why Zim hates them.
"Was that needed?" I asked looking at the Tallests.
"He needs to learn that his behavior towards you is not acceptable." Said Purple with an hate tone.
"I…I…know what I am going to leave. I'm going home. Why do you boys have to be so violent?!" I shouted and took the way where Zim pointed 'out'. It was an elevator and the computer took me up to ground floor. I walked to the front door. I saw Gir on the couch
"You leaving?" Asked Gir I nodded. He got off the couch and ran to me and hugged me.
"Please come back again sometime new." Pleaded Gir I frowned.
"I guess I can try." I said Gir stopped hugging me and I left. I had to back track where I've been. When I came across the Hi Skool and took the bus route. Soon I ended up home. I noticed my dad wasn't home. I went to my dad's room and tried to look for some things that belonged to my mother. Who would of thought she wasn't human? I found my mother's journal and opened it. It was in Irken! I saw pictures of her what I assume was Irk. As I was flipping pages a note fell out, I picked it up to look at it. It was in English. I began to read it.
Lisa if you get this I'm sorry I lied to you and raised you as a human. I'm sure your father is beyond upset. Please after him as much as possible. I left Irk cause I didn't want to be considered weak to the Tallests so I asked for a vacation. I wanted to live the rest of my life in peace. I wanted to raise a family. Lisa my body was giving out on me. It wasn't an illness; well I guess however you put it. I was surprised that I even had you. I'm happy I had you. Before you were born I made a chip that will keep you in your human form. When you were 4 months old I implanted the chip inside you. You will have to say Irken in Irken if you want to see your Irken form. In order to change back to being human you have to say Human in Irken. For Irken it is Aklous and for Human it is Zaklous. Be strong. I love you.
Love,
Rita your mother.
I started to cry after I read the letter. I heard the doorbell go off. I wiped the tears out of my eyes, and went downstairs and opened the door. It was Zim and Red.
"What are you two doing here? How did you know where I lived?" I asked with a startled voice. They came into my house.
"I had Zim look that information up. You were crying, why?" Asked Red I handed him the letter.
"Read it. I found a journal that she used to use, that letter was written in English. The journal is in Irken. I learned that I have a chip that allows me to transform between Irken and Human, only if I say the words in Irken. Which I know but don't know how to say them." I said Red reads the letter. Zim was super confused.
"Zim is confused. Is Lisa not human?" Asked Zim in a very confused way.
"Lisa is a hybrid. She handed Purple a letter and when he glanced at it, he noticed that the letter from her mother was in Irken. And this small letter is in English. Zim shut the uh, blinds to the windows. You want to transform do you not?" Asked Red Zim closes the blinds and locks the door.
"I want to change into my Irken form." I said with my hands on my hips.
"Say Aklous to transform into your Irken form." Said Red
"Aklous." I said and I felt some pain. I fell on the floor in pain.
"Lisa! Are you okay?" Asked Red and came by my side.
"I said the word and my whole body hurts. I feel some of my bones breaking and rehealing. I think my organs are rearranging too." I said with tears falling from my cheeks. I also couldn't move. I was picked up off the floor by Red and was carried upstairs.
"Where is your room? Zim go back to the base and get some pain killers and know out medicine." Said Red looking back to Zim. I saw Zim leave. I point to the direction to where my room was. Red puts me down on my bed. I saw two of my fingers shrink back into my hand. I freaked out. He was about to leave my room.
"Red?" I asked with an frighten shaken voice He turned around.
"What's wrong?" Asked Red I showed him that I had three fingers.
"That's how many fingers an Irken is suppose to have." Said Red I then not only felt, but also heard some bones break in my body. Red heard it as well, cause he made a 'what on?' look. I screamed out in pain as more tears fell. He walked over and sat on the edge of my bed and wiped my tears. He was stroking my blonde hair. It was claiming me down easing the pain. My eyes were starting to close on their own. Red lied down next to me and embraced me. I felt more bones break and some of my organs felt as though they were being ripped out of me. I started crying even more. I was getting tired.
"Red where are you?" Asked Purple and came into my room.
"Zim told me that she was transforming into her Irken form and was going through extreme amounts of pain. She is in that much pain she is crying and falling asleep?" Asked Purple I was half asleep, but could still hear them.
"Who wouldn't? Her bones keep breaking and her organs are rearranging within her body. She screamed pretty loud when a lot of her bone broke. I heard her bones break!" Said Red More bones broke I whimpered and cried even more.
"I heard that. Zim will bring the medicine here shortly. The control brains contacted Zim's base. Will be able to leave Earth soon and go back to Irk. They sent a small ship for us. They even want Zim to come back to Irk." Purple said with a happy tone.
"Please don't leave me." I pleaded and hugged Red tighter.
"I want Zim to at least stay here for her. If he can't then I will." Said Red Purple looked crossed. Purple walked out he was pissed. I sat up and I noticed I already felt better. Red sat up and got off my bed.
"Lisa you should rest up." Suggested Red I got out of my bed.
"It still hurts but not as much as it was." I said When I took a few steps I fell. Red came over to me to help me up.
"Dammit that hurt. I'm fine. I can't feel some of my toes." I complained
"Irkens have 3 toes if that answers you question." Said Red I got back up to my feet. Zim and Purple came running to my room in a panic.
"Human!" Said Zim in a panic voice
"Is the human male and has blonde hair blue eyes?" I asked Purple and Zim nodded
"Then it is my father." I said I heard the front door open.
"Lisa! I'm home!" Shouted my father
"Oh, shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit. What am I suppose to do?" I asked when it hit me I was in my Irken form. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
"We're doomed." Said Zim I made sure the door was shut and locked my door. We heard the knock on the door.
"Lisa, you in there?" Asked my father
"Yes, I uh, am getting ready for bed. I'm beat from my first day at my new Skool. Boy, did I have fun!" I lied with a weak chuckle Zim and the Tallests looked at me like I was stupid.
"What did you make for dinner? I would sure like some of your cooking." Said my father I was surprised to hear him say that.
"I went to a friend's house and ate there." I half lied
"You made friends? You shut out people at your old school. You stopped and lost your old friends. Do you think we could talk before you go to bed?" Asked my father
"I'm super tired and I want to go to bed as soon as possible." I lied. We heard the doorknob jiggled.
"Since when did you lock your bedroom door? I need to tell you something very important. Like now." Said my father he was serious.
"Is it about my mother being Irken?" I asked in defeat
"How did you find that out?" Asked my father
"That's because I met 3 Irkens at my new Skool well two then the third one at one of the Irken's base. I'm in my Irken form that's why I am lying about wanting to go to bed." I said in defeat.
"Where are the Irkens right now?" Asked my father. I unlocked my door and opened it. My father saw Zim and the Tallests. Zim ducked under my bed and Purple tried to hide in my closet. Red just stood there.
"Shy aren't we?" Asked my dad being sarcastic. We all stood there gapping.
"I'm tired of being depressed, I came to my senses that I have a daughter at home that I need to tell her the truth and take care of her. I thought Earth wasn't Irken marked." Said my father.
"Sir uh, your going to be shocked when we tell you. Irk is in war and me and Purple came here as refugees. We had two options, it was either let the enemy kill us or escape here to Earth. We've been on Earth for 3 months now. We will be leaving soon. We uh, banished Zim. Zim is the Irken that crawled under Lisa's bed. Lisa just got done going through a lot of pain when she was transforming into her Irken form. Lisa I can have Zim make you a hologram of your human form so you can still go to skool." Said Red I saw Zim poke his head from under my bed.
"How about no skool and have some family time. You three can stay here while you want. Lisa when things on Irk have claimed down and that's if the Tallests say it is okay for you to go. Go to Irk." Said my father
"We were told by the control brains that an small Irken ship is on its way for the three of us. Purple did you get a chance to tell the control brains about Lisa?" Asked Red Purple came out of my closet.
"No." Said Purple Zim came from under my bed and stood up.
"Are you guys hungry?" Asked my dad. All of us nodded our heads.
"Lisa did you want to make dinner?" Asked my dad I rolled my eyes cause he can't cook.
"Do I even have a choice? You'll burn the house down if I don't." I said and headed downstairs and went into the kitchen and began two different meals, Waffles, and soup.
"Please come back again sometime new." Pleaded Gir I frowned.
"I guess I can try." I said Gir stopped hugging me and I left. I had to back track where I've been. When I came across the Hi Skool and took the bus route. Soon I ended up home. I noticed my dad wasn't home. I went to my dad's room and tried to look for some things that belonged to my mother. Who would of thought she wasn't human?
