ZIM

Zim laid on his back staring at the ceiling. 'why would he do that to himself' 'dose he get pleasure from it' 'and why do I care' he asked himself knowing that he wouldn't get any answers just lying there. He turned over and faced the wall. He laid there, thoughts swirling about his head, thoughts that he couldn't ever seem to find the answers to. He turned over again and let himself drift off into sleep.

----- Everything was red, deep crimson surrounded him, it was as though their was nothing, no sound at all. He could see Dib, he was kneeling, and he had the blade in his hand, 'he's going to hurt himself again' Zim thought, as feeling of despair and pain washed over him. He couldn't let dib hurt himself again, he just couldn't.

He ran forward, but it was as though he wasn't moving. The blade touched Dib's skin and Zim yelled, but no sound came out.

Dib looked up. " save me Zim" he said, breaking the silence, his voice was empty it held no emotion, it was as blank as his eyes, and it broke Zim's many heart.

He made a slow slice across his arm, and smiled. "what's the matter" he said, his voice now sarcastic and condescending. "don't you want to save me…don't you 'love' me" he said, laughing harshly. He made another slit and laughed.

"do you really want to know why I do this Zim?" Zim tried to talk, but found himself incapable. "YOU make me do it Zim…with all of your insults and constant bantering…it's all your fault" he spat hatefully.

"I don't love you…heck, I don't even like you…in fact… I HATE you" he said, laughing as he saw the hurt expression in Zim's eyes. "You're a freak, an ALIEN, you don't deserve love" he said calmly, making yet another large slit.

Zim just stood there, he had failed… he couldn't stop Dib…and worse of all, Dib hated him, he didn't know why that fact hurt so much…and he didn't care. He just stood there, and let the tears stream down his face.-----

Zim bolted up, he sat there panting, trying as hard as he could not to call out Dib's name. reaching up, he wasn't surprised to find tears streaming down his face. Wiping his eyes, he sighed. 'I'm going to save Dib if it's the last thing that I do' he promised himself, now more determined than ever. Laying back down, he decided to try to get a little more sleep.
