Ch.3: failed escape
I was sitting in my room looking at the door. Red came in and he looked at me like I was some sort of ghost. "hi Red! How's you?" I said hyper, Red just continued staring at me as if he was informed that Zim was the new Tallest of the Irken empire. "g-good….you?" he said coming in carefully. "what have you been up to?" he asked after standing at the foot end of my bed. "well I first tried to get some sleep, but that didn't work out to well, so I decided to head for the kitchen and get myself a snack, had a nice chat with a kitchen staff member and returned to my room, I've been sitting on my bed like this for the rest of the night." I simply said as if it was no big deal. Red just kept staring at me. "Purple,.." he started. "..I've got some bad news. If this get's any worse I'll have to send you away, you have time till this evening 6 o' clock, if your condition got worse, I'll send you to earth with an exploring team, they'll bring you to Zim and he'll take care of you. I-I'm sorry." He said looking at his feet. My smile faded and I looked shocked at my co-ruler. "what! But…but…Red please don't send me to earth! I promise to try to stay as sane as possible! Don't send me to that defect! He'll kill me for sure! Please, Red, for Irk's sake!" I begged him not to send me away but he was ice cold and turned away from me, telling me that I got till 6 to try and retrieve my sanity. He walked to the door and exited my room. After he closed the door I laid down, hugging my pillow. "till 6 to retrieve my sanity…" I repeated after Red. "till 6 to decide between the life of an emperor or the life of a lunatic."I said and looked at my reflection in the mirror, I walked to the mirror and looked closer at my face, my reflection then changed into a demon, dressed in purple clothes that looked like the remains of my Sunday outfit, purple pants and a matching t-shirt, it had the same eyes as me, the eyes reflecting pure evil and insanity, wings growing from it's pak area, the antennae growing long and spikes forming on the curves of them. It looked at me with a wicked smile. I backed away, shooting a laser at the mirror, breaking it in millions of tiny pieces. With my bare feet, I walked thru the remains of the mirror and looked at the mirror in my bathroom, seeing the same, wicked creature. I destroyed all the other mirrors surrounding me, I rushed to my wardrobe, taking out some fresh clothes, not bothering taking any shoes with me. I quickly changed into my purple/grey shirt and purple pants. I opened the door to my chambers and peeked out looking if someone was around, then when everything was clear I walked to the dock where my sprittel runner was parked, I made a run for the ship, that's until a guard caught me by my ankle. "what do you think you're doing?" she asked me, pink eyes furious. she then allowed me to stand up and took me by my arm. "Red's not going to be pleased about you running away." In the throne room , as suspected, my co-tallest was waiting for me. " what where you up to Purple?" he said with a very displeased look on his face. " nothing…" I simply replied with an angry look. "….why Pur?" red said half to himself, half to me. "why….. WHY! Because you wanted to send me away! That's why! You….you… DEFFECT!" I yelled at him with pure rage, my eyes, starting darken as I continued yelling at my co-leader. Red just stayed calm, knowing that if he didn't gave in, I would eventually stop. He walked towards me and looked at the blood trail I leaved behind entering the room. "I-is that your blood?" he asked a little concerned. I just looked at the blood, a little smile forming on my face. "what would you do if it actually was?" I asked teasing him. "Pur, you didn't!" he yelled at me. " no I did not kill somebody…yet." I said and red finally noticed that my feet where still naked. "Pur… what am I going to do with you?" Red said and sat down inn his throne. " I-I'm afraid but I don't want to lose my best friend. But,….. I gave you a second chance, you wasted it, sorry Purple. Guards, take him away." Red said cold blooded, I was lead out of the room, I could still catch Red's last words sounding like: "I'm going to miss you, Pur." The guards pushed me, because I stood a while looking at the closed door, antennae low. I felled guilty, a pain deep inside, tearing me apart. "how could I do this to you?" I whispered and walked with the guards back to the dock. Once there, the guards gave the captain the message Red had given them. the captain nodded and the guards leaved me by his side. "c'mon Purple, it's going to be a long trip." He said and led me in. the ship's airlock closed behind me. I sat down in one of the seats next to the window. The ship leaved the massive's dock. I looked out of the window to catch last glimpse of the Massive. "farewell Red." I said, making myself comfortable. Laying down and getting some rest. I closed my eyes, a single tear streaming down my face as I thought, 'what have I done?'
