It'
Chapter Seven
A dull warm light shone on her face. Yet still, she glared at the presence that stood beyond the rays. Unmoving eyes never strayed from her form. They skewed slightly due to the tilting head of the anonymous figure. A low hum sounded as a wire slithered its way toward her. She hissed and swatted the thing away with a smacking force.
"No." She spoke sternly.
The figure flinched at the harsh contact, and quickly pulled back the metal appendage. Those eyes blinked at her for a few minutes before a hand made its way into the light.
She backed away from the outstretched limb. Though, she stared at it with a hesitance.
Moments passed before two sets of uneven fingers intertwined.
Her head hung low, obscuring her face.
"I trust you."
Her eyes blinked open with a start. She stared at the dark ceiling above her, and was surrounded by silence.
"Why?" She breathed.
She groaned as she shoved off the covers and swung her feet over the side of the bed. She tilted her head down to look at her form. She scoffed. At some point, she actually kind of hoped for all this to be some twisted dream.
However, it appeared that it was a solid reality.
Looks like she couldn't scare her brother again with another of her 'Dib-death visions'. It would've been amusing to see him barricading himself in his room again, for fear that even a piece of dust would cause his untimely demise.
If he was even still alive that is.
With little more thought, she pushed herself off the mattress and left the room. Maybe today she would finally get answers.
Zim was once again found focusing his attention on a screen with many symbols. Gaz walked up behind him to get a better look of the screen, though what any of it said was beyond her.
"What does that mean?"
Zim jumped a foot in the air before snapping around to glare at the girl. "Damn it, Gaz-Human, don't do that!"
Gaz crossed her arms and gave him a deadpan look. "Relax, I'm not going to kill you… yet." Zim looked taken aback. "What's that supposed to me-" Then he stopped himself and tilted his head. "Wait, do you have memory of yesterday?"
"It's kind of hard to forget being in a house belonging to a guy with skin that green." She poked him in the arm.
"Well you seem to forget everything just fine after each earth rotation." Zim retorted.
"Don't tempt me, Zim. It'll be your biggest mistake."
"Enough," he growled. "Do you remember the events of the past day, yes or no?"
"I'm pretty sure I already made that clear." Gaz spoke direly.
Zim groaned in annoyance. "What exactly do you remember?"
Gaz pondered the past day's events then spoke. "Waking up obliviously, finding you, the supposed news of Dib's death and some more stuff I don't care to talk on about."
"Really," he spoke skeptically. "You remember all that, did you?"
Gaz raised a brow. "Are you doubting my words?"
"No, of course not." Zim raised his hands up in front of himself. "I'm just… glad to see that your memory is restoring." He gave a weak smile.
Gaz creased her brows, searching over those nervous eyes and twitching grin. She pulled him by the collar causing the invader to yelp. "I expect answers today, got that? I let you off the hook yesterday," she gritted her teeth. "but I swear in won't happen again."
She released her hold and took a few steps back, then turned around to leave the room.
Zim rubbed at his neck and glared at the retreating girl with suspicion. He chuckled. Like he hadn't heard that one before. If only she knew how many times she'd actually breathed those words.
However, his humor was lost when he faced back to the screen, a glint of fear forming in his eyes. Because he knew; whenever the human started to remember, it was never a good sign.

A/N
Ok, quick little author's note. Since has decided to not quite work today, I'll have to type down here that the first line of this chapter is supposed to be (It's. Al- ). Just in case it doesn't appear to show that way for some readers and whatnot. Anyways, don't ask, end of story. Really hoping it doesn't happen again, but oh well. See you in the next update :)
