Gray Revenge (Part 3)

By Sarah Wiltshire

(Fateschild)

Kids were tossed all around the classroom. Blood smeared everywhere. Tak looked deeply into the form that was accomplishing all of this. It really was deserving of the kids that teased him. Zim was thrown against the wall badly. He deserved his pain, too. His evil was the only reason Dib didn't give up sooner, which made the pain last so much longer. Dib's eyes looked as if they were in a completely different world.

Half of the kids in the class had faced their doom, and now it was Tak's turn. Dib approached her. Tak closed her eyes and flinched. When she opened them, she realized that Dib had thrown her into a desk. Tak tasted the blood on her lips. Dib came up to her, ready to finish her off. Death filled the air. Tears streamed down her face as Dib came closer. Just as he was about to strike, she finally got the courage to speak up over him.

"No, Dib!" Tak cried, "I love you!"

Dib hesitated. Tak looked up at him, hopefully. Tears dripped down to his cheeks, as his lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but no word of any language was appropriate for this moment. His eyes were alive again. They shone a deep black of deep emotion. Tak smiled weakly, trying to soothe the poor phantom. Dib tried to smile, too.

In this quiet moment, Zim tried to activate his laser, to destroy his opponent while he was detracted, before Dib got back to killing Zim. Dib sensed the weapon as the explosion came near Tak and himself. Dib grabbed her, and held her close to himself, protecting her from any harm. As they stood together after the small explosion, Dib closed his eyes, and let his lips touch hers. Wind blew forcefully around them. Tak imagined the ocean waves splashing peacefully at them. It seemed as if the world around them fell into a pit of deep emotion and breathlessness. Warmth surrounded Tak, though she was expecting coldness from a ghost. She wanted to leave, but the more she fell into his spiritual soul, the more she wanted to hold him. Dib seemed as if he was holding her for dear life. Dib finally felt what he had always wanted to feel for all of his life. Love. Love was hurtful, but for the first time, it held him together. He had felt love for Tak before, but Zim had always gotten in the way, always a step closer to her than he, it seemed. As if she were touched, Tak put her arms around Dib's neck. After a while Dib and Tak finally stopped kissing each other.

"We are actually violating the Skool Handbook Rules, Dib," joked Tak.

"Really? Man, let alone killing half the class, I'm in even MORE trouble for romantically kissing a girl! Talk about a long detention! You guys didn't see any of that, clear?" Dib joked back.

"I suppose since it is 3:25, we should all go back home?"

"Go ahead, but I'll still be here, waiting."
