Chapter 20
Raye led Zim back into the living room and sat down on the fluffy couch. She sighed and Zim watched her curiously. Was she nervous about something? Intestinal gas? He still wasn't very good at human emotions yet.........
"Zim? Why are you here?" she asked, and he laughed fakely. "Be....cause! I was born here like a regular human-mongoose!" She grabbed his hand fiercly, but gently, and stared in his violet eyes. "Stop the lying. Who sent you to Earth?"
"The Tallests." It just rolled out of his mouth like that. For one split second he had betrayed every Invader that ever served under the Irken Empire. He grabbed his mouth and tried to fake it again. "Yea.......the Tallests! My, uh, Mother and Father were tall! Oh, how tall they were!" Her gaze saddened, and drifted to the floor.
"I know. Dib told me all about you, Zim." He expected to be afraid. He expected to be afraid she would turn him in and do horrible experiments on him. But, for some reason, that fear never even touched him. He sat down next to her and lied his gloved hand ontop of hers.
"The truth is, that I was sent here from a planet called Irk......." For the next 10 minutes, he told her everything. Finally, someone to confide in. Someone who knew him for Invader Zim, not the short- foreign student in their class. He told her about the mission, about the Great Assigning, about his rivalry between Dib, and about the Tallests.
Funny thing was, when he mentioned something about Purple or Red, she flinched. Raye never knew them, yet there was something vaguely familar about them. She could feel their soft, green skin upon hers and the warm, soothing touches they gave her. What was it about Zim that brought all of this back? Why, now most of all, did she want to become part of their world?
Was it because of the sting of jealousy she felt between Dib and Christie? Or the hurt that even her own human boyfriend wouldn't stand up for her? Sure, she had been beat, burned, stabbed, abused in every way possible by a man but she had always bounced back. She was strong that way. But why did she want to leave it all behind now? Just because of jealousy?
Or something else? Zim studied her expression, which was unreachable. After telling her all of his deepest secrets, would she still look at him the same? Almost as soon as he thought that, she placed her cool hand on his face. "Irken Invader Zim.......suddenly it all sounds so nice."
He stared at her, unsure of what to do or say, as she turned around. "Listen, I don't know why I'm even considering showing you this, especially with Dib being my boyfriend, but can you tell me what this is?" She lifted her shirt, and revealed her pale, thin back to him.
She unclamped the strap of her bra, and covered as much of her breasts as possible. Turning around to face him, she closed her eyes and revealed the pointy black tattoo on her heart. "I've had it all my life, and no one can tell me what it is or how I got it........"
Zim stared. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Ok, so he was attracted to this earth-beast, but he didn't try staring at what her hands were covering. Instead, he stared at what was in the middle of them. Taking off his gloves, he touched the marking with his bare claws.
Shuddering at his cold touch, she looked down at him and his curiosity. Usually, if anyone else besides Dib tried touching her that way, she would've turned away. But something inside wanted him to touch her even more.
He traced the strange print in total shock, as his eyes finally met hers. "Raye, you can only get this from Irk." She stared at him confused, and tilted her head to the side. "What do you mean?" He placed his whole palm on the tattoo, and moved his stern face closer.
"Meaning, only the Tallests themselves can stamp this on." She looked down at the ground and sighed. "Do you think I'm........like you?" He lied his head on her chest unexpectidly, and fondled her hair between his claws.
"There's a possibility that, you're not like any of the foul, disgusting humans I've met." Feeling the warmth of him curled up on her, she lied back and pulled closer. He grabbed her purse and opened it. Pulling out the box he gave her, he slowly opened the top.
She stared at him as he brought out a small pair of silver earrings. They both had a little chain hanging down, with a tiny emerald at the ends. He gently placed them on her ears, and the sparkling green stones hung lazily near her chin.
He saw them, and for some reason he had to get them. He made the store owner explain what they were for (since he didn't have ears) and bought them. Inching ever so close to her ear, he hissed something in his own language in them and her cheeks lit up in an explosion of red.
She didn't know what he said conciously, but unconciously she knew somehow he was commenting on her appeal to him. He placed his hands ontop of hers, and she wanted to lower them. Oh how she wanted to just fall into his lustful arms and stay there. But, there was something driving her back.
Something that ment more than lust. She was hurt, yes, but in love also. She was in total lust with Zim, but she was in love with Dib. His *15-year old body(*A/N: I'll explain later) was all hers had known, and the first to ever venture inside. Even now, she felt sort of dirty, sitting here with no shirt. Atleast her chest was covered, but if she didn't intervene they wouldn't be for long.
She turned away but he crawled ontop of her. "Don't think of him, think of me," he whispered as he pulled his shirt off, tossing it aside. "I want to know what you're made of......."
Crawling down to her jeans, he unzipped them and ran his claws lightly from her naval to her panty line. She shivered, half-enjoying half- loathing the tickling effect it had on her. He bent down and kissed her naval, and looked back up at her. "Tell me human, what's this for?"
She sighed and stared across the room. "It's our belly-button. When concieved, we're inside our mother, connected to her by a certain cord that feeds our embryo what it needs to grow. When grown and born, the cord is still attatched and is cut off, leaving a whole where it used to be connected. Sorta, a reminder of your mom."
"Do you remember your mom?" he questioned, and she shook her head. "No, I don't. But every now and then I dream of a woman that steals me from......" Her voice trailed off as she remembered a black figure scoop her away from the tall shadows in her dream. Suddenly, the black "thing" started to take form of a woman. She had dark hair and honey-colored eyes.
Her slim figure ran fast holding that small child. Something about that woman reminded her of something. Then, for some strange reason, a phrase from a current dream shot into her head. "BEYOND THE STARS" just kept on playing in her mind like a broken record as she stared at the woman.
But that was from the dream she had of Dib and his mother. What did it all mean? What did it all add up too? Did she somehow know his mother? But the lady was dead! Or was she? Nothing made sense anymore as Zim waved his hands infront of her face.
"Hullooo? Raye-human! Have I lost you?" Her consencious jolted awake, as she looked for the nearest clock. "Zim! What time is it!?!" He stared at her with an eyebrow raised. "It's 3:05pm, why?" She stared at her half-naked body underneath his. "Skool's over," she muttered. "Yea, so?" he asked. "What if someone-----" but before she could finish her sentence, the front door swung open and a shadow stood in it's doorway staring at Raye and Zim. -------------------------
A/N: Whoo-whee! Who could that be? Hm? You really wanna know? It's the last person you'd gueeeeeeeeeess! **laughs** Well, anyways on account to the Author's Note earlier, someone emailed me saying that Dib's birthday was in March so I'm changing his age to 15. Actually, I shoulda done that in the beginning, but I'm to lazy and I didn't think of it until here recently. Wheee! More suspense! It kills you, no? Who WAS that shadow from her dream and how does it connect with the phrase "BEYOND THE STARS?" All will come in good time, children of Jimmy-Crack Corn! But he don't crack my corn! Blargh! But uh, heh........actually, **refers to Invader Jed** you have no idea of how close you are to some of my future "plans." Hmm, I might throw in the big fight scene just for your amusement. ^_^ **smile** But uhh, please R&R and thankies to those who already have. Well, I shall leave you with the evil cliff-hanger of doom now, okie? Later!
