Chapter Six: The Two Sided Coin

As Dib woke up he found himself in a strange bed. He looked at his surroundings before realizing that he was in a coffin with Zim! Dib tried to get up but Zim's arms were holding him back. Zim looked and felt like he was dead. Dib moved Zim's arms away from him and got out of the coffin. Dib walked around for a while before he ran into Gir.

"Big head!" Gir squealed with joy.

"Quiet Gir and my heads not big!" Dib whispered loudly to the dim-witted robot.

"Masta!" Gir yelled. Dib turned around to find Zim standing behind him, looking all dark like. Zim was dressed in his uniform, except it was black, and his boots looked bigger.

"Gir, why don't you go down to the club for a while," Zim said not taking his eyes off Dib. Dib was just glaring at him as usual.

"Finally!" Gir cheered as he got into his dog costume and ran out of the house. It seemed that he was planning on going because outside was a car filled with girls waiting for him. This shocked Dib as much as it did when he found out that Zim was a vampire.

"Now then, it seems though that you already know that I'm a vampire," Zim said as he drew near Dib.

"I've known since...What time is it?" Dib asked a little confused.

"It's 5 pm." Zim answered.

"WHAT!" Dib yelled. "I was here all night!"

"And day," Zim added, "Now Db let me explain..."

"I know what a vampire is Zim," Dib said as he drew back, "And I know how to cure myself." He drew a stake he had concealed in his trench coat. "I know that I have to kill you to make myself better!" Zim looked at the stake and back at Dib.

"Do you think you'll be able to kill me?" Zim asked.

"I know I will!"

"You're brain, yes, but it's you're feelings, you Earthen's have, that I'm referring to."

"My feelings?" This was now confusing Dib even more. 'Sure I can kill him but what's stopping me?' Dib thought over and over again in his head.

'It's because of your feelings Dib,' a foreign voice spoke to him.

'Zim?' Dib thought to himself, a little scared and fearing that he's cracking up.

'Yes?' the voice was definitely Zim's.

"Did you talk to me...in my head?" Dib asked a little shaken up.

"Yes," Zim replied, "This is a way I can communicate to you if we're far and a way that I would know what you're up to." This scared Dib far than he could imagine. All of his battle plans for stopping Zim, all of his deepest secrets and how he could spy on were all opened to his enemy! Quickly, Dib tried to conceal all his thoughts from Zim and his plans of stopping him.

"It's too late Dib," Zim said as he was nearing to him than before, "I read your mind about Ms. Bitters's plan of destroying me."

"Then you know what I must do?" Dib asked the stake still at hand.

"I know that you must be a complete idiot to think that you won't be ale to remember what happens after you kill me."

"What do you mean?" Dib asked, scared to know what he means.

"I mean that even if you kill me, Ms. Bitters won't let you live, now that you know her secret, she'll kill you or she'll be the one to turn you into a vampire." Zim said as he turned his back towards Dib.

"She won't fo that! She just wants you dead because..."

"Because of what Dib? Because out of all the kids she turned into I'm the only one that has free will? Is that what you were going to say because that's just pitiful, Dib." They were silent. Zim made a point, out of all the kids that were unfortunate didn't have free will like Zim did. The more Dib thought about this, the more it seemed that Zim was right.

"But you'll go after people and drain them of their blood!" Dib protested, "As their defender, I can't let you do that."

"Do you think they would care?" Zim asked.

"Of course they would it's there blood..."

"No I mean would they care if you told them?"

"What?" Dib asked. Why did he care if they believed him or not.

"Ever since I came here you've been telling people that I was an alien and nobody would believe you. Even though my disguises were lame enough for at least one other human to figure out, no one cared and just pretended it was skin condition. You see, what difference is there if you told people that I'm and Ms. Bitters that we're vampires?" This was probably the first time Zim made any sense about anything.

"At least when I'll kill you, you won't be a threat to mankind," Dib responded as he started at Zim with the stake. Zim dodged the stake and caught Dib's hand that held it. Dib was stunned by Zim's speed that he didn't have time to escape.

"I think you miss the point Dib," Zim smirked at him, "Ms. Bitters fear those who have free will and vampires like Ms. Bitters want to see it that they are destroyed by people. You hate being used, but right now she's using you to do something you feel is wrong." Dib was now shaking from all of this and Zim could feel it. The boy was more scared than he ever was.

"But my family..." Dib started.

"Your so-called-family never believed you even when they saw proof of my existence. Why do you continue to defend a race that would rather die then listen to you tell the truth. You hate to admit it but you're alone and have been since the day you were born." That did it, all Dib believed to be false was now proven by someone who hardly knew them. Dib felt like he was going to cry but held it in longer for Zim to finish.

"Even when you were with me they didn't come looking for you," Zim added as he now drew Dib close to him and held him, still holding his wrist that had the stake.

"But they're all I have left in this world," Dib whispered fearing that he was going to cry any minute.

"I'm still here Dib," Zim whispered in his ear, "Why did you think I bit you Dib?"

"For revenge?" Dib asked, "Because I ran off and didn't help you or something?"

"I did this because I love you Dib and I would rather die than see Ms. Bitters turn you into another one of her mindless minions." There is was, the reason why Dib wasn't a vampire yet and why he was holding him now and back in the coffin. He loved him and so did he, but was too scared to show that he did. "There's a reason, though, why you aren't a vampire yet."

"Why then?" Dib asked, "Why didn't you turn me when I was unconscious and at your mercy?"

"Because I wanted to give you a choice." Zim replied. "I knew that if I turned you, you would have done something about it so I'm giving you this only choice." At this Zim released Dib and stared at him. "If you still wish to kill me then I won't stop you, but if you would wish to join me forever and leave behind those, you left you behind, then speak now." The spotlight was on Dib now. Two choices that were good for him and he had to choose one. He didn't want to become a vampire but yet he wanted to be with him forever. But did he mean what he said about him loving him? He was able to read his mind easily that this could be a plan to take over the world. But then again, did he really want to return to those who would be cruel to him?

Without second thought, he took the stake in his hand and raised it above his head. He looked at Zim and the stake before he dropped the stake on the ground and walked towards him.

"I want to be with you," Dib replied. Zim came forward and kissed him on the lips. Dib was startled but then he returned the kiss. They were like this until Zim broke away, giving Dib air to breath.

"I must turn you into a full vampire before we can be together, will you let me?" Zim asked looking at his lover.

"Yes," Dib replied knowing what had to be done. Then all of a sudden Dib felt the same pain, he did the other night ago, on his neck and sure enough it was Zim. Dib tried to hold on as he felt his heart start to fade each time Zim was taking his blood. By the time that he felt like he was going to pass out Zim released him from his fangs and laid him down on the ground. 'So this is what you feel when you die?' Dib thought as he was being laid. Zim then removed his glove and slit his wrist. He brought his wrist up to Dib's mouth and only said one word that he understood.

"Drink Dib," Zim commanded. Dib, giving no choice, sucked on the wrist and the blood. This was the sweetest taste that Dib ever drank and continued at it until he felt a very strong pain in his stomach to told him to stop. Dib curled into a ball as the pain grew worse. The only thing that was comforting him was Zim holding him. At the time he felt his own heart start to fade this time and then he felt nothing but Zim. And all he saw was darkness.
