Nightshade: Booyah! Go me! I inspired this ENTIRE chapter with no help from
Wednesday.
SilverRogue: Remember that if you review one of my fics, I'll review one of your (Invader Zim-Related) fics in return. ^_~
Gaz woke up slowly. It felt as though if death had run over her twice. Her very bones ached, and she thought her head must have been tearing itself in two. She wasn't sure whether she could move or not, but the pain was too bad for her to even CONSIDER trying.
Focusing all of her strength, she slowly opened her eyes. She was floating in some kind of purple liquid, but it didn't hamper her vision in any way other than it made everything purple. Breathing was difficult, but with the pain, it probably would be purple stuff or not.
From what she could see, she was inside some sort of tank in an odd lab. A heavy metal collar kept her from turning her head, and chains were attached to her arms and legs. She just felt so horribly weak and helpless... almost like her insides were being eaten away by acid.
"HI!!!!" A voice chirped, somehow unmuffled by the purple stuff. Gaz looked up, seeing that it was Zim's stupid robot. She wanted to tell it to go away and leave her alone, but neither her jaw, nor her voice, seemed to be working right.
"Well, little Gaz" Zim said, stepping into view. "I see your awake"
Gaz narrowed her eyes at Zim, putting ever ounce of hatred she could muster into her glare.
"Glaring at me is not going to help you any, so I suggest you stop." Zim said, giving Gaz a nasty little smirk "Besides, you look about as threatening as a six-week-old kitten hissing. You're much to frail and weak to even move, let alone try to stop me"
Gaz shut her eyes, not wanting to admit, even to herself, that Zim was right. Her whole body throbbed with pain, and merely opening her eyes and keeping them open had been a strain. Had she been at full strength, the chains holding her in would still probably much to strong for her, and then there was the problem of getting OUT of the tank, assuming she hadn't been stopped by then. Gaz had no, absolutely NO chance of getting out of this mess on her own, and she knew it, and she knew that Zim probably knew it too.
"Gaz," Zim started, bringing her out of her thoughts, "To my knowledge, you're fairly intelligent as humans go. Smarter than your brother, at any rate. No doubt you've already figured out that your chances of escaping on your own are less than minimal. I know as well as you do that your big brother will be here to try and rescue you soon, but his pitiful efforts shall be too little, too late. I will do... nasty... mean... stuff to him when he arrives."
That's when it struck Gaz. Zim was only using her as bait to get Dib to come to him.
And there was nothing she could do to stop him.
SilverRogue: I KNOW the chapters are short. But shorter chapters mean I can get them done faster and easier. So quit whining about the length, okay!? I'm working on the next few chapters already, so just be patient with me.
