Chapter Seven
Then
Moonlight crawled into the room, like a dagger. The girl flinched and shivered, periwinkle hair flowing over her pillow.
"Ugh..To...Bright!"
She
turned, not seeing the shadowed figure that appeared on the balcony.
Not seeing the fire he lit. Didn't see his crimson eyes before he
dissapeared, melding into the night.
The fire consumed her, causing Gaz to wake up with a start. Smoke wandered into her room.
She shook Zai anxiously.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UUUP! ZAI! ZAAAI!"
Zai blinked a couple times, before realizing what was happening. The peircing sound of a fire alarm rang clearly, focing another muffled scream from Czabba,
"Fiiiiirrrrreee!!!!"
THe
door was hot, but Zai wanted in.
"Zai--"
Before
Gaz could protest, Zai was inside, screaming vainly against the
flames that scorched his skin. Gaz knew it would end there.
All she remembered was Zai wasn't breathing, and Czannas heartbeat was slowing..
She fell weakly to her knees, and her last image was a pair of vermillion eyes.
Zim arrived home and boredly sat on the couch, next to a certain sleeping android.
He sighed, then stopped.
Wait a minute.
"Computer?"
"WHAAAAAAT?!"
"Have it recorded that Agent Archanid has been..disposed of."
"Fiiine! Gawd."
"I still have to deal with this "S.y.d""---
"Do you mind?! I'm playing ping-pong."
Zim grumbled.
"Stupid
ungrateful little outdated--"
He stopped, controlling his
thoughts. Then, his memory began to return...
Of the dancing flames. Of Zai..Of a purple haired girl in the hallway...
HOLD IT.
Purple
haired girl?
Didn't he know a purple
haired girl?
Gabrielle, Gale..
Gaz.
He gasped.
he felt the ground dissapear under him.
"Gaz?"
He
had KILLED Gaz?
She had been his friend; In highschool,
she sat with him at lunch and defended him from "flocks"(Hey,
Zims not to bright. Its Jocks, but its also my fic, so Nah-nah-nah!).
And to show thanks, he'd killed her.
Hoping it wasn't to late, ZIM typed up he coordinates into the computer and climbed in his voot.
It wouldn't end like is.
