Thank you everyone for all your reviews! Now I give you Chapter 6! Enjoy!
"Calm down Jake!" Dib cried out.
Jake was pacing nonstop around the kitchen. His hands were clenched tightly onto his head and his teeth were tight together. Tears of fear, sorrow, and confusion slid down his cheeks.
"No! Something is here. We-I have to get out of here!" He said.
"We can leave whenever we want…I am not leaving until I find out what is going on here. But anyone else who would like to leave may because the front door is right out the kitchen and through the hall on your right."
"Okay…okay…I am leaving. I don't want to die like you freaks. I at least have a life…my beautiful Cindy is dead because of this dumb trip! It's a school trip! School trips are about safety and having fun…not blood and people dying!"
Jake slammed a fist down onto the kitchen table making it shake and a cup of milk spill on top. Gaz's pizza milk.
"You humans are stupid, if you want to leave then leave, stop wasting everyone else's time by explaining why you are leaving." Zim spat.
"SHUT UP! Just shut up you green skinned freak!" Jake stalked over to Zim.
"You dare speak to me like that? I AM ZIM!" Zim growled.
"I know who you are, you don't have to act stupid just to explain your name!"
Jake towered over Zim by a whole foot, but this inferior being didn't at all faze Zim. Zim just kept his head straight, but let his eyes stare up into Jake's face giving him an evil or angered look.
"Filthy wormbaby. Leave now and stop talking!"
"Fine! I will leave. I was going to leave anyway." Jake snarled, whipping around for the exit.
Jake stomped out of the room and through the short hall making a right turn and heading straight for the front door. No way was he staying to be the next victim. He wanted to live, to live for his Cindy! He reached out for the handle and turned the knob and pulled. Nothing. He jerked the door harder. It wouldn't budge. He checked the locks, but they remained unlocked. It was as if the door was super-glued shut.
"I thought you were leaving!"
Jake spun around to see Zim glaring at him, tapping his right boot in annoyance.
"Shut up! The darn door is shut and won't open."
"You are just a weakling."
Zim walked up and grasped the handle and pulled. He flushed in embarrassment and pulled harder, still the door would not open. After ten minutes of trying to pull the door open Zim was breathing heavily the Membrane kids had come in to see what was going on.
"I have watched so many Paranormal Investigator shows, so stand back! I know what to do." Dib beamed.
Gaz rolled her eyes, knowing exactly what Dib was going to be attempting. Dib brought his leg up and with all his strength he slammed it forward, kicking the door. The room seemed to quiver a bit from the pressure applied to the kick. Dib's face flushed red. Things were not going according to plan. Then there was a ripping noise from above. All eyes went skyward. That's when a body fell to the ground.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Their screams echoed throughout the building.
The body was headless and obviously drained of its blood. It wore a pink dress and the pale fingers had pink-coated nails on them. The body belonged to Cindy. The skin was bruised around the stub of her neck where it was cut off and around her wrists.
"Oh my god!" Jake whimpered.
Gaz was horrified and she didn't bother to hide her fear this time. Dib was planted behind Zim, hiding, as if believing the body would somehow come to life and kill them all. Zim's green skin paled several shades and his fake lavender eyes widened. This was completely unexpected.
After several minutes, which seemed to be endless hours for everyone, Jake lost it.
"Oh! That's just wonderful! I now find my dead girlfriends body! What kind of a trip is this? Is this for the most despised students so that teachers won't have to deal with us or something? That's it!" Jake stomped off.
"Where is he going?" Dib asked.
"I don't know." Zim shrugged, still eyeing the headless corpse.
Jake returned, holding a bread knife in his hands. Zim and Dib yelped and jumped back several feet as did Gaz. Jake hadn't gone crazy enough to kill them had he? Instead of slaughtering the three, Jake stood in front of the door and raised the knife. He brought it down into the wood. There was a loud, hollow ring. Jake dropped the knife after yelping and tending to his pained, pink hands. The door was not wooden. It was some sort of steel or metal.
"Now what? I can't leave…WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! JUST LIKE CINDY SAID!" Jake screamed.
"No one says we're going to die…wait, she did…but I mean-we are not going to let anyone decide our fate. That just sounded so dumb, didn't it?" Dib asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Okay then…lets just kill whatever this thing is before it kills us, okay?"
"I couldn't of said it better myself, Dib-worm." Zim gave a smile.
"Okay, well you two are clearly stupid. First of all, we have no idea what it is. Second, we have no idea how to kill it. And three we don't even know if this thing 'can' die." Gaz stated.
"You know…she's right." Dib sighed.
Everyone turned towards Jake after hearing some thumps. He was currently trying to lift Cindy's headless corpse off the ground.
"What are you doing?" They all asked in unison.
"Disposing the body. She would've wanted that."
He walked from the room. The lights in the room buzzed and flickered.
"NO!" Zim cried out.
The lights remained on as if obeying the frightened request.
"Okay…I think that everyone must be with another at all times." Dib suggested.
"Okay. I say I go with Jake." Gaz said.
"What? Why not with me? Or…I hate to say it, but I would even let you be with Zim! Why Jake? I don't trust him."
"You two annoy me. I don't know him enough for him to annoy me. Besides the two of you are so predictable."
"Fine…if that's what you want…I guess. But if you want to be with me I will be happy to have you in my group!"
"Sure, Dib, sure."
Zim just stared at the two siblings and gave a small smile thinking of GIR, his little SIR unit. He wished GIR were here because GIR was so destructive he'd probably destroy the house and the thing inside of it, saving everyone's lives. I wonder what GIR is doing right now? Zim wondered. His thoughts stopped abruptly when he felt a hand wrap around his wrist and yank him towards the stair, which they proceeded to climb.
"What on Irk are you doing, Dib-beast?"
"I want to see if the phone is working."
They threw open the door and Dib grabbed the phone. There was a dial tone.
"I thought you had said the phone was dead?" Dib asked.
"It was dead and Zim does not lie." Zim explained speaking in third person.
"Whatever. I am going to see if I can't call for some help."
Dib dialed the numbers 911. A female operator answered him immediately.
"This is 911 what's your emergency?"
"Yes, I am Dib Membrane and I am trapped with four people in a-,"
"Dib Membrane? That crazy kid? How many times are you going to be calling here? Is that 'alien' in your house threatening you again? Stop wasting Federal Officer's time with fantasy."
She hung up and Dib laughed nervously after seeing the look Zim was giving him.
"You called the human defenses because I was in your house? Stupid wormbaby." Zim shook his head.
Suddenly there were two voices screaming from downstairs.
"GAZ!" They shouted in unison.
The two boys raced from the room, speeding down the stairs. Through the hall they entered a dark kitchen.
"Gaz? Jake?" Dib called.
There was only the answer of whimpering from somewhere in the darkness. Zim felt around the walls for the light switch, found it. He turned it from the on position to the off and then to the on again to see if the lights would work. Amazingly they did. The lights flicked up and Jake was sitting, curled up into a ball, sitting in a puddle of blood. Gaz was lying on her back, a gaping hole in her stomach. Blood was gushing in massive flows. Dib immediately dove for her, Zim grabbed some towels from the pantry and tossed them to Dib who snagged them and placed them on top of the wound and began applying pressure.
"Gaz, Gaz, can you here me?"
"D-Dib?" She whispered.
"Shh…save your strength…just don't go to sleep. Don't you dare die on me Gaz."
Zim looked on with mixed emotions running through him. He felt sadness, pity, fear, and anger. Irkens were supposed to keep their emotions at bay to where they never interfered. Zim was feeling them. He didn't want Gaz to die. He had always wanted to destroy the humans, but he had grown fond of humans. Despite what he said he actually did like the humans. He turned to Jake; the boy was curled up in a ball of shivers. Zim didn't care if Jake knew he was an alien…not this time. He reached back, into his pack, pulled out a stretchy yet strong gray material closed the pack and walked over to Dib.
"Move away, Dib-worm." Zim growled.
"No way! You're going to use one of your little alien things on her."
"Exactly Dib. Now move!"
Zim shoved Dib away and removed the now red towels from the wound. Blood squirted out, hitting Zim on his right cheek. He lifted Gaz's back up and placed the gray material underneath. He began wrapping it around her back and belly. Covering the wound. Dib watched in amazement as his archenemy was actually trying to save his little sisters life. Zim tied the ends of the material together and stepped back, wiping the blood away from his cheek with his black-gloved hands.
The blood was stopped and Gaz made a pained cry. Dib crawled over to her and checked the wrapping, it was tight but no blood was escaping. He turned to the little Irken and smiled.
"Thanks Zim."
"Whatever, Dib-worm." Zim scowled.
Jake looked over to the three and frowned after he had recovered from his shaking fit. He crawled over to Gaz's side and looked at Dib who was making calmly speaking to her. Telling her everything was going to be okay. What a load of lies, Jake thought.
"How am I supposed to go anywhere now? She's my partner and now she can't move…how am I supposed to go anywhere in this house?" Jake complained.
"How can you think of yourself when Dib-sister is nearly dead? Filthy pathetic wormbaby!" Zim snarled.
Jake jumped back a bit, he was sure he saw a flash of magenta around Zim's eyes. Zim cross his arms and smirked, turning to Dib he said.
"Hey, Dib. I think Jake would do well to be on his own…don't you?"
"Uh-huh. Yes, he has been a pain…maybe he should be off on his own. He did say he wanted to leave, didn't he?" Dib replied.
The boys were playing a mean joke, but still Jake looked at the two boys as if they were homicidal maniacs. He then glared at them and showed his teeth in a snarl.
"I hope all of you die a horrible death here. Especially that dumb freaky sister you have!"
Jake had gone one step too far because what he said was no joke. Dib was about to lunge at him when a green blur got to Jake before he could. Zim was on top of Jake, literally, pounding him like he were the little moles in the arcade game hit a mole. Zim rammed a fist right across Jakes face, causing the boy to fall back. Jake knocked Zim away and slammed a fist in his gut. The alien gasped for breath that was so rudely knocked out of him and than charged to Jake, but was stopped when he saw Dib ram a good kick right in Jakes belly. Jake fell to the floor whimpering.
"Wow…good kick, Dib-worm." Zim commented.
"Thanks, but next time if he says anything like that about my sister, I get him, okay?"
Zim nodded. Jake sat up holding his stomach, gritting his teeth in pain. Despite the pain and anger Jake grinned. It seemed as though he had lost all signs of sanity because he stood up and ran out of the kitchen screaming.
"HEY YOU! COME AND GET ME! FREE GAME, RIGHT HERE. YOU TOOK MY CINDY NOW HOW ABOUT HER BOYFRIEND? TAKE ME!"
Nothing came and Jake just made a complete fool of himself. He walked back into the room to see Zim and Dib giving him looks of utter disgust. He was about to say something when the phone upstairs rang.
I hope everyone enjoyed that...I was kind of having writer's block but I finally finished after so many hours!
