My Cousin, Frankenstein
By: Kari Marie Trujillo
Chapter 6
I let out a cry of pain, and fell to the ground, clenching my leg and crying like never before. I wanted to yell and scream at my cousin, but feared she would shoot me again.
"You're lucky I got your leg," she said, "Your head's so big, I can't believe I missed it."
"You're mad," I heard Zim say beside me, "Torturing your own cousin... I--"
"Shut up!" exclaimed my cousin, "You know how I said you were cute? Well, I meant it! Pity, such a beautiful face is going to be destroyed with one little bullet."
I turned my head so I could see what was going on. Victoria pointed the gun at Zim's head... Suddenly Zim's utility pack opened and a ray gun came up and shot my cousin, causing her to fall to the ground screaming. "Oh God! Oh God!" she screamed, tightly squeezing her stomach. I forced myself to crawl up next to her. "Dib, do something!" she yelled.
"Lemme see! Lemme see!" I yelled.
Victoria pulled her arms away from her stomach.... there, was a big wound, slashed across her stomach, at least two inches deep, blood gushing out, "It hurts Dib!" she said and looked at me with pleading eyes.
"As did my wound," Zim said.
"Zim!" I said, "Humans do not have self healing powers!"
"I know," Zim said, and he left us.
My cousin continued crying, and I looked around desperately. I then pulled myself to the cabinets, and searched through the drawers for anything that could help. I found nothing. I looked around some more, trying to block out the sharp, painful cries of my cousin... then I found a sweater. I used the sweater to tie around Victoria's wound... it helped a little. I then forgot the pain in my leg and stood, picking up my cousin and walked out the door.
I burst through the hospital doors, and with my bloody leg covered with mud, and my screaming, crying cousin in my arms, nurses came rushing to our aid almost instantly. They took me into one room, and my cousin into another, there everything went dark...
I opened my eyes and saw I laid in a bed in a small hospital room. I looked down at my leg, and saw stitches. A nurse walked in. I asked where my cousin was, and she smiled, and pulled the curtains beside me, revealing my sleeping cousin in the bed next to me. She then had me take some pain killers, turned on the TV for me, and left the room.
