A/N: *sigh* I've spent most of the day reading ArmandLeg's and Mouko's stories… and I suddenly feel so small. Those are great works of art that I can't seem to measure up to. *bigger sigh* So here's the ending of Love Knows No Race.
Sek stormed down the halls of the Massive, her new baby in her arms. She had waited for Red to return for the last 3 days that she was in the hospital wing. She was positive that he would come back to help her raise their new baby, Cyle. It was impossible that someone as smart as Red would leave someone as beautiful as her.
"I'm gonna kill him… That's all I need to do. I can raise the child, while being the Tallest." She smiled to herself. She thought that Purple had already killed himself from knowing that Red would never come back to him… ever. She hoped that Red threw himself out an airlock at the news, so she didn't have to get dirty.
As she walked back to the room that she and Red once shared, she searched her mind for possible ways to kill the bastard. Disemboweling and dismemberment seemed too good for him. She didn't have the power to shatter his heart anymore… what the hell was she going to do?
As she placed the new baby Irken in it's new crib and tucked it in, she reached for her favorite sharp object. It was a human kitchen item, a cheese grater. Zim had told her stories of the hideous lice outbreak, and how the had to take a skin sample with an electronic cheese grater. From that moment on, it had been her favorite torture item. From shredding cheese or chicken, to cutting herself. It was amazing… the scars turned out to be miniature paintings in themselves. She sighed and shook her head. It was still too good for him.
"What am I going to do?" She asked herself. She could feel that he was still alive somehow. And she knew that he would be with Purple if he wasn't dead. She decided to find out the easy way. She dug her floating communicator out from under her bed and turned it on.
"Red and Purple surveillance mode only, please." Her command was immediately obeyed as a small camera in their room showed that Red was indeed with Purple. Purple didn't kill himself.
"Damn… I hoped he would." She sighed and turned her communicator off and grabbed a simple gun. This would end two ways. They would die, or she would die. She turned to her new baby and almost began to cry.
"And they aren't getting you…" She said to the precious baby boy. She grabbed him up and walked out the door.
She ran down the empty halls of the Massive… this was where all the families lived. She sighed and hugged her baby tight and left him in a doorway.
"I will miss you with all my heart, Cyle." She said leaning down and kissing him one last time before knocking on the door and running off.
She stood in front of the Tallest's room and sighed. She would be the only one who died tonight, but goddamnit she was going to make a show over it. She knocked loudly.
"Red! Open this door!" She commanded. She heard a curse and suddenly Red stood before her.
"What do you want, Sek?" He asked tiredly. At least he was fully clothed, which she was thankful for.
"I've come here to kill you and Purple." She said with a bored look on her face.
"Really?" He asked.
"Really, dick face." She said shoving him into the room and shutting the door behind her. She pulled out her gun and Purple gasped.
"I'm killing you guys." She said simply, aiming the gun at Purple. He looked wide eyed at the barrel and dove as she fired her first shot. It grazed his head, causing blood to run madly, causing him to pass out. Red was in shock.
"You killed him!" Red said pointing.
"I did not. I grazed his head. Now, you want an interesting story to tell him when he wakes up?" She asked pointing the gun and her own head.
"What do you mean?" Red asked uncertainly.
"Do you want a story to tell him?" She asked again. Red shrugged so she started.
"Tell him this: (A/N: I'm stealing this idea from Susan Kay, but it fits so well!) There once was a pure white rose and a dove whiter than snow. When the dove first saw the rose, he knew that it was love at first sight. But the rose was a closed rose; he wouldn't dare open his petals to anyone. The dove went to the rose day after day, confessing his love for the rose, asking of the rose to open his petals. But the Rose dared not. For he was warned when created by Allah, "If you open your petals to something not meant to be, you will be punished. And I will be angry, as something will be created that doth not need to see this world." So this went on, for many months, and many seasons. Until 3 springs later, the dove came back to the rose.
"Oh Rose!" The dove cried. "Rose, please, I ask of you once more; Open your petals to me! If you do not," The dove cooed, "I will surly die!"
"Dove…" The rose replied hesitantly," Dove, I wish I could… with all my heart… but I cannot. For Allah has forbidden me so… if I do, I will be punished. If I do, Allah will be angry…" The rose said to him.
"Rose, does it mean nothing that I love you?" The dove asked.
"It means everything in the world, you know that. But I have made a decision, Dove." The rose said simply. "Though you must tell no one…" He said quietly. And just as the dawn came upon them, the Rose burst into full bloom.
"For you my love…" He said. Born from their undying love, was the Blood Red Rose, that Allah had created and that he did not want the human world to see." Sek said, a tear running down her face.
"Two of the most unlikely of sorts, created a new beauty. Tell him that… for me… And tell him, that no matter what happens, Love Knows No Race." She said shedding one last tear, and pulling the trigger.
The End
MORAL OF THE STORY: That there are no ends to love, and that you should never judge or force other's love.
