Where'd I go Wrong part 4
Dib knew Zim was going to try to hurt him so as quick as a flash Dib caught the rock before it made contact with his face. Clutching the rock tightly Dib snarled at Zim who was taking slow steps back.
"Are you going to tell me what is bugging you or do I have to lob this rock at you", Dib snapped. Zim shivered as Dib was ready to throw the rock and the end result wasn't going to be pretty. Dib glared at the shivering alien and tossed the rock to the ground and walked to Zim. Frightend Zim ran into the woodlands. Dib cursed himself for living so close to a woodland area.
Zim cried out in pain when he was wacked with tree limbs. These things may seem weak but these tree limbs hurt, Zim thought as he tried to cover up his trail while he was running. It wasn't easy due to the fact he was now bleeding from cuts and was beaten by the tree limbs. Zim took a moment to catch his breath and began to run when he heard footsteps. Zim was for sure the path he picked was safe, but he was wrong.
Zim came to a halt at a river. Zim looked down at the flowing water, it didn't look so fast, Zim thought. But to be sure Zim quietly snapped a twig and placed it in the water and as quick as a flash the river swept the twig away. This isn't a river, it is a rapid. Zim slowly stood up but screamed when he felt something on his back. Swiftly turning he relaxed knowing it was only a tree.
"Stay calm Zim, don't let it get to your head", Zim said to himself. There must be a safe way to cross this, Zim thought. Zim looked and noticed a bridge so checking his surroundings he went to the bridge. Zim looked at the bridge then back at the water. This bridge is barely stable, I may fall, Zim thought. Gulping Zim took very slow steps.
Zim screamed when the bridge gave way and Zim way barely dangling above the water. Little drizzles of water was buring his skin making him whimper. The rope that was holding Zim up was starting to break. Zim had one last option or he would die.
"Dib, Help, ME", Zim screamed. Dib heard Zim and ran to were he thought the scream was coming from. He was right there was Zim just barely above the river rapid and a rope about to break.
"Zim, stay calm, I'm coming to get you", Dib said. Zim nodded as the rope was on it's last legs. Dib got on top of a rock and reached out his hand, however when Zim reached out his hand they were barely brushing the tip of the fingers. Then the creak of what was left of the bridge was loud, even louder than the rapids. Dib looked at the bridge and gasped. Pieces of the wood was falling and Zim was in the cross-fire. Dib was out of options, this was the only way he may be able to save Zim.
"Zim, how long can you hold your breath", Dib asked. Before Zim could awnser Dib jumped and pulled Zim into the Rapids. Zim was flapping and squirming as the water was burning him. There must be a calm part of these rapids, Dib thought. Dib also noticed Zim was barely breathing so he grabbed Zim and looked for something to grab hold of. As soon as he did, Dib reached to grab a unsturdy rock. His fingers clenching the rock tight. Dib also noticed Zim was alot lighter. Turning to see Zim was gone Dib looked at Zim's glove.
Oh no the rapids, Zim wont surive, Dib thought. Dib hoisted himself on the rock and broke free of the rapid. Now to find Zim, Dib thought as he ran down the rapids. The river poured into a calm lake so Dib slowed down and looked around. I don't see any sign of Zim anywhere, Dib thought. When Dib was halfway around the lake a fimilar figure appeared. Zim's antennas. Sighing with some relief Dib went into the water and dragged Zim to the shore of the lake.
Zim was gasping and coughing when Dib poked his head. Sighing Dib helped Zim get back up and Dib rushed Zim back to his house. Opon entering Dib's house once again Zim complained it was cold. Dib chuckled and said it is only you and went to fetch him some spare clothes while his were drying. Zim sniffled and shivered and Dib rubbed him dry with a towel.
"Well since your not going anywhere, mind to tell me what is wrong", Dib said. Zim looked at Dib and sighed. He isn't going to stop asking is he, Zim asked himself.
