My Freedom Ch. 4

Moxxy stared at Tak in horror. "I'm sorry...I lied...I tried..." Tak said weakly. Moxxy didn't speak. She had no need to, after all. She just found out that Zim wasn't her father! Suddenly, Moxxy could no longer hear anything...her vision was going blank, and Moxxy fainted....

Moxxy woke up, no longer on the cold, soggy ground next to Tak. She was in an Irken Hospital. She looked over, and saw Zim, who had worry, pain, and sorrow in his eyes. "What..." Moxxy began. "What happened?" She finished. "Oh Moxxy...I'm so sorry." Zim said. Moxxy was confused. "About what?" She wondered.

"Tak is dead. And I thought you were, too. I got worried about you, for it had been about 15 minutes, so I went out to look for you. I found Tak dead, and you next to her." Zim explained. Moxxy's lip quivered. Her mother was dead, and she couldn't bring her back. Not only that, but she felt that this was her fault.

She felt that if she would have stayed on Irk, Tak would still be alive. She wouldn't have ever known Zim, Gir, or anyone else she had met. She would have never known Zim was her father, later to find out that he wasn't. She just...didn't want to live anymore.

So she hopped out of her bed. "Moxxy? What are you doing?" Zim asked. "I'm fine. I feel better. I'm just gonna...leave." Moxxy said, trying to hide that she really wasn't okay. "Er..okay." Zim said. Moxxy left the hospital, where she no longer heard gunshots. Irkens were cheering in the background. The battle was over. The Irkens had won.

'Of course, everything gets better AFTER we get here.' Moxxy thought. Now she REALLY had no reason to be living. She ran, so far away that nobody could ever find her. She found a cliff. She stood at the edge. She took out some paper, and started writing her last words...

* * *

Hours passed. Moxxy hadn't returned from her 'walk'. Zim began to worry. "What if she took off without me?" Zim asked himself. He couldn't hardly imagine his daughter in the cold, dark universe...alone. So he went outside to look for her.

"Moxxy!" Zim shouted. "Zim?" Zim heard a voice from behind him. It was his sister, Mizzy. "Oh, hi Mizzy." Zim said. "Howzit goin'? Aren't you glad we won the battle? How's Tak? Is she good? Bla bla bla..." Mizzy just continued the questions. "Uh...good, good, and good. Well gottagobye!" Zim ran off. Mizzy looked at him as he ran off. "He seems in a happy mood!"

Zim kept running. "Moxxy!" Kept running..."Moxxy!" Running...."Moxxy!" Run, run run.... He kept running and shouting until he found a cliff. There, he saw a piece of paper at the edge. Zim picked it up. It was a sign that Moxxy had been there, but not a good one. It read:

'Dear Zim, or whoever is reading this,

I could not stand this world. It was a good one, that turned bad. My mother had died from the battle, and things got good when after it had been bad for me...So I must put this tradgedy to an end. I shall no longer live, for this place is my death scene. We were never meant to say goodbye...

PS: Zim, if you are reading this, I have an important message Tak gave to me before she died. You are not my father.

Sincerely,
Moxxy'

Zim widened his eyes with horror. How could he not be the father of Moxxy? But more importantly...where WAS Moxxy? He peeked over the cliff and saw a body at the bottom, old and broken. "Moxxy!" He cried. He raced to the bottom, hopping she was still alive. But it was to late.

"No..."

Moxxy's body lay on the ground, dead as a cat that just got hit by a semi-truck. "I'm so sorry, Moxxy. I loved you, even if you weren't my daughter..." Zim saw wet drops on Moxxy's body. Was he...crying? "I can't be crying! I haven't cried since Mizzy 'died'" Zim told himself. He looked at the body one last time, and left Moxxy to rest...in peace.

End of chapter 4! You're probably thinking "Aw, it's over?"

Ah, but it's not the end yet! *hint-hint!* :D

And I couldn't help putting Mizzy in here! (She left Earth shortly after 'Mizzy's Story')
