My Cousin, Frankenstein
By: Kari Marie Trujillo
Chapter 5
Again, it was hard to sleep that night... Not because my tried to kill me, and kill my enemy, but because she never returned that night. Thank God, that my uncle and my dad would be away at work for a few days.
I tosses and turned in bed. I knew, that at this very moment, she was doing things that are not even imaginable to me.
The next day at skool, it was hard seeing Victoria and Zim's seat empty... The vision of Zim dying kept flashing in my head, and I couldn't help but think that this was all my fault. If I would of not agreed to be her god damn assistant, than I would never have been apart of this.
Victoria's brother and sister kept asking me where Victoria was. I told them she was at skool, but simply in the principal's office, helping him file some things. They then questioned why she wasn't at home in the morning. I said she went early to skool. Damn, I hated lying to them.
But I would have to lie more throughout the day, because Victoria still hadn't returned. It wasn't until late evening when I decided to go search for her.
"Where you going?" asked Matthew who sat on the couch watching TV.
"I'll be back... I... I gotta go return an overdue library book."
"But it's raining."
"That's OK, it won't take long," I said walking out the door, "Hopefully," I murmured to myself.
"I bet she's at that dumb old tower!" I said to myself. I walked fast, even though the rain poured. Lightning struck in the sky, and the thunder roared. It felt like it was taking forever to reach my destination, but finally...
I ran up the flight of stairs up to the very top, and burst through the doors. I saw Victoria, fighting with Zim. Victoria was armed with a dagger, and Zim with something... I wasn't sure. Victoria violently stabbed Zim in his arm, but Zim grabbed hold of Victoria, and used his alien tool, then I saw my cousin fly through the air, hitting the wall, and falling to the floor unconscious.
"Zim, what's going on? What happened?" I asked. I looked at him, he had gashes in his arms, but his stomach looked perfectly fine, "Hey, what happened to you? Just yesterday, you were dying."
Zim laughed, "No one can defeat Zim!" he patted his utility pack thing, "Because of this, I can self heal. It'll take a while for these new ones to recover." He looked at my cousin laying on the floor, "What a fuckin' loon."
"Will she be OK?" I asked.
"Yeah..." Zim said, "You should take her home Dib, but strap her down to her bed or something! If she gets loose again, who knows what she'll do!"
I nodded my head. I then walked over to my motionless cousin, and picked her up; she laid limply in my arms. "When will she wake?" I asked.
Zim shrugged, "I dunno... This was my first time using my shockenizer on a filthy human."
Then almost on cue, my cousin's head snapped up, so quickly it scared me, and I dropped her. She grabbed her dagger, and ran towards Zim, screaming. I ran after her, and grabbed her hand which grasped the dagger, "Dib! What are you doing?!" she yelled pulling away.
"Victoria, let's just go home and get some rest."
"Not till I'm finished up here," she said charging at Zim again.
I grabbed her arm, and tried pulling her away from the alien. She then spun around, and stabbed me in my right arm; I let out a sharp cry of pain, but still stood my ground. I charged at Victoria, knocking her down to the ground. I grabbed the dagger out of her hand, and threw out the window. Victoria ran to a cabinet, and pulled out a gun and pointed it at me.
I stopped, and stood still. I didn't take my eyes off her, for fear she would fire.
"Now Victoria..." Zim began, Victoria pointed the gun at Zim.
I took a step closer to Victoria, then she turned the gun on me again. I saw her eyes looking at Zim, so I took another step closer, which I regretted, because she fired, and I felt a sudden shot of pain in my leg.
