Chapter 14
abandoned
I know I've been mistaken
but just give me a break and see the changes that I've made
I've got some imperfections
but how can you collect them and throw them all in my face
"My little Kim where are you?" Tak asked the cold uncaring stars outside her window forlornly from her place on the wall. She smiled sadly at the little planet coming into view. "Zim." Her head hung sadly at the memories. "I bet he never thought he'd be a genetic donor for my smeet, Lie." She sighed very sadly waiting for something to happen.
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
you always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
and if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting
A small sound came from the door as the guards screamed and gurgled, banging against it. Tak looked up in apathy, waiting for the worst to come. There was no fear in her violet eyes, no expression other than desolation and hopelessness. She'd lost faith in miracles a long time ago.
I hope you're not intending
to be so condescending it's as much as I can take
but you're so independent
you just refuse to bend so I keep bending till I break
Lie stepped through the door, laser leveled at anything to move. "Tak." the name was said without love or affection but more venom than the other prisoners could fathom. "I don't expect you to forgive me Lie." She lowered her head, her antennae wilting. Why had she remained emotionally attached to him? It would've been easier if she'd just dropped the numberless child off in the Vortian system before he could remember her.
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
you always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
and if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting

His eyes softened a little. "I do though. But that doesn't mean I'm not mad at you." he spun around as several Vortians rushed in to secure the area. "I can't live in fear like you Mom. I'm sorry." She looked at him disbelievingly. "So what are you going to do then?" He regarded her a moment. "I'm going to help Kim kill those two bastards when she gets here." Just then an Irken stepped into the room. "Not likely." The blue eyed female said. "I'll miss your pretty voice." That said she shot Lie in the pak and shot Tak in the shoulder. As he lay twitching at her feet she carefully applied a layer of his blood to her lips and kissed him. "So long and goodnight." She whispered the last against his quivering antennae
I've made a commitment
I'm willing to bleed for you
I needed fulfillment
I found what I need in you
Tak screamed wordlessly as her first creation was shot in the pak she'd made for him. She wailed like a banshee until her throat bled. She struggled uselessly against her bonds as several of the Vortians were slaughtered in seconds as more Irkens came into the room. She finally gave in to sobbing uncontrollably and whispering an apology repeatedly to her child that lay unmoving on the floor in a pool of his own blood.
Why can't you just forgive me
I don't want to relive all the mistakes I made along the way
But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting
I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting
The Irkens left Tak alone with all the corpses. The female waved cheerily before she left and locked the door behind her. As soon as Tak heard the locking mechanism click a wire extended from her pak to Lie's and slowly began repairing the damage. "Please work, oh my tallest, please let this work." She pleaded with every race's deities that she could that it would work. And after an hour was rewarded with a twitch and a groan from Lie.
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
you always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
and if I chose to walk away would you be right here waiting
searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting
