CHAPTER 14

UNCONRTOLABLE PAIN AND HURT

ILEEN'S POINT OF VIEW:

Ileen went back in Zim's room a few minutes later and was shocked to find he wasn't on his bed or anywhere else in the room. Maybe he just had to go to the bathroom. Ileen hoped that was the case. But her heart skipped a beat when she a saw a piece of paper on his pillow.

Ileen,

I can feel it growing. I can't hold it back any longer. Kishamarika has been growing fast over the years and I knew one day I wouldn't be able to control it. I've left and I'm not coming back. If I ever hurt you, I would never be able to forgive myself. But know this: I love you, and I always will. It was you who kept me going, you were what kept me fighting when I was in prison, it was you who I was made to live for. I wish I could have told you this to your face, but im afraid I might hurt you. I will miss you always and I hope you never have to go though what I have, but more then anything, I hope you know someone loves you. Please understand why I left, and forgive me. Please take care of Gir.

Zim

That was what the note said. There were blue stains from tear drops that were still a little wet. Ileen didn't try to hold back the tears. But after a few seconds, she decided she was going to find Zim, and bring him home. She was going to find a cure for his terrible disease.

ZIM'S POINT OF VIEW:

Zim walked down the street, not in disguise. But he had a cloaking device on, so he could walk through the town unnoticed until he could get far away from it.

Zim looked up to see Dib's house. He laughed a little at the memories of Dib trying to kill Zim. But then he stopped. No! No, I have...to fight...it… Zim struggled to hold down the false anger. But it overtook him.

His eyes turned the deep red and his cloaking turned off. He stormed up to the door and kicked it down. Gaz was playing her GS2 while Dib was watching Mysterious Mysteries. He looked up when Zim walked in. "Z-Zim?" he stammered. Zim gave only a small his before lunging at him. "Ahh!" Dib screamed.

Gaz looked up and tried to pull Zim off her brother, for once seeming to care. Zim growled and spun around. He clawed her eye and sent her flying backwords. Then he turned back to Dib and continued to claw away at him. "OWWWW! Zim stop!" he screamed.

Professor Membrane, for once caring about his kids, came flying up the stairs and, like Gaz, tried to pull Zim off Dib. But Zim just spun around and started to attack the Professor. Dib grabbed a water gun and shoot Zim, the impact causing Zim to fall off Dib's dad and onto the floor.

Zim closed his eyes and put his hands up to block the water from hitting his face. He felt the anger ebb away as the water stopped coming toward him.

He looked up and saw Dib, Gaz, and Professor Membrane bleeding and wincing in pain. "No…" Zim whispered his eyes pink again. He closed his eyes and shook his head. Then he turned and ran, using his spider legs.

DIB'S POINT OF VIEW:

What just happened? Dib wondered after Zim left. Gaz, who had huddled over in a corner and had a bloody eye, crept over to Dib and hugged him a little in fear.

It was one of the few times when Gaz was afraid and needed confront. "Wha…what happened?" she asked Dib. "I-I don't know." He stammered, as scared as Gaz. "what in the name of REAL SCIENCE was that?" their dad exclaimed.

"That was Zim….i think." Dib answered without taking his eyes off the door. A few minutes later, Ileen burst in. she also had no disguise on. Was Zim here?" she asked in a rush, looking at Dib.

Dib nodded and asked the question that everyone was thinking. "What just happened, Ileen?"

Ileen shook her head. "I can't explain every thing right now. All I can say is that Zim isn't himself and ran away because of a disease that effects his self-control. It causes him to attack others for no reason, but mostly out of rage." She explained before running back out of the house and down the road after Zim.

ZIM'S POINT OF VIEW:

No! I don't ever want to feel like that again! Zim thought as he dived behind a dumpster. He sat there and shivered, but not with cold. He was terrified. More scared then he had ever been before; in over 140 years!

Then he heard Ileen calling him. Go away! I don't want to hurt you! He screamed inwardly. But her voice faded until it was gone all together. Zim began to crawl out from behind the dumpster when he felt it coming again.

For the 3rd time that day, his eyes turned deep red and he lunged at a human walking by. "Waaahhhhh!" the human screamed in fear and pain as Zim sank his teeth into the human's neck.

Leaving the human to bleed to death on the sidewalk, he looked around for his next victim. There! A young school girl! Perfect…Zim thought as he crept over to the un-expecting child. He leapt for her, pinning her to the floor, letting his spider legs slip out and strangle the little girl, who dropped to the concrete, dead. Zim laughed evilly before running off into the city on a killing spree.

ILEEN'S POINT OF VIEW:

Ileen stopped when she heard a scream of fear and pain come from the other street, the one she just left. With her own cloaking device on, she ran around the corner and stopped short when she saw a human, young and probably in his 20's, dead on the sidewalk with Irken bite marks on his throat.

Across the street there was another dead body of a human. This time it was a young girl. A woman was on her knees leaning over the child with her face buried in her hands, crying. No…Zim's disease is worse then I thought. He would never kill a smeet, even if it's a human. And to have the mother crying like that. That poor woman. Her daughter was killed. Ileen thought.

But then something else caught her attention. It was a TV store next to where the little child was dead. The TV's that were on display showed a news channel that, although it was bad news, might help Ileen. She walked over to it, still using her cloaking device, to hear what the human on the news was saying.

"Well Pete, I think we have some terrifying news." One of the humans said. It was a female. "Oh yes, Suzzi. There has been multiple killings lately. And all along our city." Pete said, fixing a pile of papers.

"There have been few sightings of the killer, but those who have seen it say it's a 'him' and he's a green alien. Do you believe this could be Pete?" Suzzi asked.

"I don't know, Suzzi. But it sure is a dangerous little guy. You recommend that everyone stays inside with their doors locked and windows closed. If you see this killer, please contact the police or some paranormal investigator." Pete said. Then the screen turned to the Scary Monkey
Show and Ileen was left breathless.

Zim had killed more then just 2 humans and injured a whole family. Oh how much more he had done. He was terrorizing.

ZIM'S POINT OF VIEW:

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Zim laughed evilly as he jumped onto the roof of a car and watched this part of city run, screaming to their houses. "Yes! Run, you morons! Run fear from the Mighty Zim!" He screamed.

Leaping from the roof, he landed on an elderly woman in a black cape/dress thing. It was . "Ha! Maybe now you will learn not to mess with the mighty Irkens, filthy-human-worm!" Zim yelled as he clawed . She hissed, but wasn't string enough to get him off. "Forget it, human! Its no use fighting a battle you can't win!" Zim snapped.

"Zim, stop!" Zim turned around to see Ileen rushing toward him. took the opportunity to run. For a spilt second Zim snapped back to normal. "No Ileen! Get away from me! I don't want to hurt you!" Zim begged for her to stay away and run. He felt the unexplained anger rising, and it was hard to fight it.

"No, Zim. I'm taking you home, and we're going to find a cure for you." Ileen insisted, still coming closer.

"Ileen please…run. Hurry! Don't come near me! Im a monster! I would never be able to forgive myself if I hurt you! Please, get out of he-"
Zim cried, but then the disease over came him and he attacked her.

She screamed. He clawed. Zim wanted to stop, but he couldn't. He had no control over his body at all.

ILEEN'S POINT OF VIEW:

Pain sliced though her whole body as Zim's claws cut through her uniform and into her skin. But then she felt her sisters presence around her.

'The only way to temporarily stop him, is the power of love stronger then true love itself' her sister whispered into Ileen's antennae. It was then that she knew what she had to do.

As Zim bent down to give hr the killing bite, she kissed his lips and he stopped. After a few seconds, she saw his eyes shift back to the pinkish shade the usually were. He seemed to recognize her, and leaped off her.

Zim's eyes wandered over her cur up body and began to gleam with worry and sorrow. "No…." she heard him murmur.

ZIM'S POINT OF VIEW:

"Oh Irk, no. im so sorry, Ileen! I knew I should have never let Dib stop me. I should have jumped off that cliff when I had the chance." Zim fretted as he grabbed Ileen's hand and pulled her up to feet.

"Stop. It wasn't you who did this; it was the disease that made you do this. Now come on. We're going home and we're going to find a cure for that disease." Ileen snapped.

"No. I don't want to go home. If I hurt you, there won't be any one to pull me away, and I'd end up killing you. I already won't be able to forgive myself for what I did to this city, or you. I dont want any more guilt. I don't want to be around anyone. I want to live alone, so I can't hurt anyone." Zim protested, backing away.

"I don't care what you want, you're coming with me. We will find a cure, and if you try to attack me, Computer will just put you in a cage or something 'til you calm down." Ileen pointed out, grabbing Zim's hand and dragging him back to his base.

…..i think this was a pretty good chapter. It was pretty heartwarming when he told Ileen to leave before he hurt her and I think that note was pretty nice too. Im proud of this chapter. I kinda got the idea of it from the movie Lilo and Stitch, Stitch has a Glitch! That movie maked me cry for some reason. Please review! And look out for chapter 15!
