My Freedom
Chapter 7
Note: You were all probably like "Oh shizzle!!" in the last one! XD
Moxxy was right! It was Zim! Zim's big pink eyes stared in horror. "I...I thought you were dead!" He calmly said. Moxxy coughed. "I thought so...too. Tak....sent me back...second chance." She said, coughing in between words. "Shh," Zim hushed Moxxy to save breath. "Go back to Earth," Moxxy urged. "I'll be fine." Zim shook his head. "No, Moxxy. I won't leave you here all alone." Zim said
Moxxy growled. "Might as well blame me for all this..." She said. Zim had a confuzzled look on his face. "I should have stayed here!" She talked loudly, too weak to yell. "Tak would be alive! I would have never known you, or that you weren't even my father! I wouldn't be here for all we know! Don't you get it, Zim? I'm better off dead! Now leave!" She angrily finished. Zim stood, not moving. "Leave, Zim." Moxxy repeated.
Zim looked her in the eyes. "But-" "GET OUTTA HERE, ZIM!" Moxxy yelled, using all her strength before coughing heavily. Zim sighed. "If it's what you want, then who am I to deny it?" He said as he walked away.
As soon as Zim was out of sight, Moxxy called one of the firefighters. "Did you find an Irken with brown eyes in there?" She asked weakily. The firefighter. "Yes, we did, but he's dead. Sorry, sweetie." He said. Then he walked away. Moxxy froze. A tear ran down her face. "No..." She whispered. "Not now...not in my miserable life now....Mac, I'm sorry." She said.
Moxxy then coughed very hardly, struggling for breath, then fell to black dizzyness.
"Hello?" Moxxy called in the darkness. No answer. "Hello?! Tak! I know you're here!" She called again. Still no answer. Moxxy groaned and put her hands in her knees and cried. "Hush, my darling." A voice said. Moxxy lifted her head. "H-hello?" Suddenly, Tak appeared out of the darkness. "Tak! Am I dead!?" Moxxy exclaimed with worry. Tak 'shh'`ed her again. "Of course not, my sweet." Tak's sweet, calm voice calmed Moxxy down.
Moxxy sniffed and stood up. "Tak...I-...Mac..is he okay?" Moxxy couldn't put her thoughts into true words. "Moxxy, Mac is dead. I know you felt something for him. He felt something for you, too. I know it." Said Tak with a frown. Moxxy sighed with tears in it. She barely knew Mac!
Tak silenced her with her finger. "You must go back to Zim. He needs you more than you think. He's in great danger." Moxxy cocked her head to the right. "Danger? Of what sort?" Tak shook her head. "You must find these things out yourself. You're up to the point where you can do so." With that said, Tak dissolved into the darkness, leaving Moxxy all alone. "Wake up!" A voice seemed to echo. Moxxy looked around. Nobody was there. "Wake up!" A voice said again. Everything went white.
"Wake up!" Moxxy opened her eyes to see a nurse above her face. "Whoa!" Moxxy yelled as she quickly sat up. She looked around. She saw medical stuff and noticed she was in a bed wearing one of those old lady dresses. Good, I'm just in the Irken Hospital. She thought it relief. "Hey, Moxxy!" The nurse said again. Moxxy looked at the nurse. "Yeah?" She asked. "I have food. Here." The nurse handed Moxxy a plate of donuts. Don't mind if I do! Moxxy hungrily thought. She bit into one of the donuts, then spit the piece out quickly in disgust. "It's stale!" She told the nurse, who just nodded. "Uh huh. Since your a prisoner, we give them stale food. Oh, and call me Debby." Debby said as she walked out the door of Moxxy's hospital room. Moxxy sighed and took another bite of her stale donut. It's better than nothing... She convinced herself.
Suddenly Moxxy remembered what Tak had told her while she was uncautious. Zim! She thought. "NURSE!" She called. Debby rushed into her room. "What?!" She asked. "GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!" Moxxy screamed at the blue-eyed Irken Nurse. Debby lay Moxxy down on her hospital bed.
"Your not supposed to come out of here for a few more days. You chest-"
"TO HELL WITH MY FREAKIN CHEST. MY NOT-FATHER IS IN DANGER AND I NEED TO HELP HIM!"
"But-"
"ARRGHHH!!!" Moxxy sprang out of her bed, lunged right at Debby and kicked her in the face, making her scream in pain and fall to the ground. Moxxy then broke the window with her foot, and jumped out of the window. Luckily, she was only on the second floor, so it wasn't a huge fall.
She landed on her feet and began running, not knowing or caring where she was going. To hell with Mac. To hell with Debby. To hell with everyone. I just don't care anymore. As long as Zim is safe. I will not stop until he is okay. Or at least I know he is... Moxxy thought as she marched along the ground.
Suddenly, Moxxy heard a scream that sounded very familiar. "Zim." Moxxy whispered. She ran towards the direction of the scream until she saw Zim against about 10 Irken Officers. Moxxy ran by Zim's side. Zim looked at Moxxy and gasped. "What the hell are you doing here, Moxxy?!" He hissed in Moxxy's ear. "I'm here to-"
"Hey! Get out of the way, pipsqueak!" One of the officers yelled at Moxxy.
"Run." Zim said.
"No! I'm not letting you die!"
"I'm not afraid of death. I'm only afraid of you dying. Moxxy, they don't know I know you. You can get through this, okay? I can't, it's simple. So go! Run!
"But-"
"Go!"
Moxxy said no more. She did as Zim asked. She simply walked away from the scene.
It wasn't more than 5 minutes when Moxxy heard another scream. This time, it was filled with so much horror and pain, it was spine tingling. Moxxy froze. No, I won't leave him! She vowed. She started heading back to where Zim and the officers were. When she arrived she saw no officers, and she didn't see Zim waiting for her with arms open. Instead, she saw a lifeless body on the cold, wet Irken ground.
I know, I know. Short chapter. But I sort of have Writers Block, so expect shorter-than-usual chapters. XD R&R, plz.
