A/N: See! I told you all I would have an update up before the end of the weekend! It took me all day to finish this but here you have it. And we're back to longer chapters again which means it may take me a little longer to get updates posted, but the wait will be worth it. Here's where things get more interesting. The plot thickens! I'll get started now. Chapter 5: Month 3-Rape. (Yes, there is smut in this! I give warning!) Disclaimer: I own nobody except for my random Irken character, Bixxle. Heh...Bixxle...That name is funny...Don't sue me!
Dib felt as though the weeks and months were going by way too quickly. Zim was already well into his third month of pregnancy, and yet he was still as skinny as ever. Dib thought he would have at least put on a few extra pounds by now, but he was still as skinny as he had been the day he found out and told Dib. He still got sick every now and then but not nearly as much as he had been during the first two months. At least he was able to eat more and get some actual sleep.
Whenever Dib wasn't with Zim, he was usually with his father, learning everything he'd need to know about taking care of a baby and, more important, what changes in behavior to avoid when with Zim. There were so many facts and small details he had to remember, he felt as though his head would explode if he had to remember one more thing. Whenever the information became too overwhelming for Dib to handle, they'd move onto something a bit simpler to remember such as names or what things they'd need to get for the baby. Though they weren't sure exactly of the specifics for a half Irken baby. Dib was thankful for all the help, but he was kind of hoping Zim and he could come up with a name for the baby together. However, every time he even mentioned it to Zim, the Irken would either say he was too busy at the moment or find some excuse to go do something else. It was strange. He knew Zim was just avoiding the topic, but he was doing it in such a calm fashion that it made Dib uneasy.
The last thing Dib expected Zim to be in such a situation was calm. He had been freaked out the first time he had told Dib, but now he seemed to be brushing it off as though it was something he was used to by now. Dib, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck, and he wasn't even the one who would have to give birth. There was still so much he didn't know about Irkens and humans. Hell, he didn't even know how it would be physically possible for Zim to even give birth! How could Zim be so calm about the matter?!
Dib was sick of Zim's ignorance. He wanted answers and he wanted them now, no matter what the consequence. He wanted Zim to acknowledge what was going on, and he wasn't going to let Zim shy away from it or him again until he got a straight answer. He found Zim down in his father's lab again, working on his ship. Dib wasn't about to just barge in and start demanding answers. That tactic would probably just result in him getting his ass kicked, so he began with just a few simple questions. He knew he'd have to deal with it delicately and think his questions through first.
Zim didn't stop his work when Dib approached from behind. "Hi, Zim. How's the work on the ship going?" he began.
Too concentrated on what he was working on at the moment, he didn't look back at Dib as he spoke. "Fine. Could go a little better if I had my own tools, but I'm making progress. I might even have it running again in a few days."
"Well, that's good." Dib continued. "Hey, maybe while you work we can discuss names for the baby."
Zim stopped his work momentarily, sighing harshly. "I'm busy right now. I don't see why you're so obsessed with naming it. You act as though you actually want to keep it. But if you must come up with a name for it, then why don't you go talk to your father about it?"
Dib's face fell, but he wasn't about to give up. "Well, actually, I was kind of hoping we could come up with a name, together."
Zim groaned. "Fine. How about stoopid? Short, easy to remember, and it pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole situation. Are you happy now? I've got work to do." he resumed his work.
Dib sighed. "Come on, Zim. What the hell is wrong with you? Why won't you talk about this with me?" he grabbed Zim from behind so Zim would look at him.
Zim spun around quickly as he slapped Dib's hand away. "What's wrong with ME?! My question is what the hell is wrong with YOU, Dib-fucker! Why are you so obsessed with keeping it?!"
Dib let go when Zim screamed at him. "I never said I was obsessed. I'm just...trying to be optimistic about it. That's all."
That answer just made Zim angrier. "Oh, really?! I don't see anything optimistic about it! So, tell me, Dib! Do you see anything optimistic about the pain I'm going to go through?! Cause if you do, please tell me!"
That wasn't the response Dib had been expecting. "Hey! You know damn well I wasn't talking about the birthing process!"
Zim cut in. "Pfft! Birthing process?! That's cake compared to what I'll have to go through prior to it!"
Dib was about to say something but stopped suddenly. "Wait! What do you mean prior to it?"
Zim glared at the boy horribly before he finally answered. "The body adaptation is 10 times worse than the actual birthing process. Most Irken males don't even live through it, it's so painful. The ones that do, say they would have rather died than gone through that. That's why the Irken Empire stopped using males for a while."
Dib's face paled at that information. He had no idea. He got up quickly to leave without a reason why. "I gotta go." he left Zim to work on his ship some more.
Dib went to bed early that night, feeling extremely uncomfortable around Zim. The only time they even crossed paths that day after their little argument, was at dinner when everybody met in the kitchen to eat together. Both Zim and Dib were eerily quiet and Membrane couldn't figure out why. When he asked Dib if anything was wrong, Dib refused to talk about it and left in a hurry to get in bed. He didn't sleep for several hours.
His gaze was fixated on the door to his room even though he couldn't see it that well due to the fact he had taken off his glasses. After many hours of staring off into nothing, he finally closed his eyes in an attempt to fall asleep. Almost instantly after he had done so, he heard the door to his room opening. His eyes snapped open as he sat up to stare at the blurry figure entering his room. He fumbled for his glasses as he was thrown off guard by Zim's presence. He hadn't expected Zim to be in any mood to sleep with him after his earlier outburst. As a matter of fact, Zim still didn't look very happy as he entered the room. His face had the same scowl he had whenever he was in skool.
He didn't seem to be paying any attention to Dib as he moved about the room getting ready for bed. But Dib, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off Zim's appearance. He stared speechlessly as Zim walked from one end of the bedroom to the other, his eyes watching Zim's every move. From what Dib could tell, the only thing the Irken was wearing was an oversized red striped shirt that fell just past Zim's waist and nothing else except for a pair of socks. Zim didn't seem to notice Dib's dumbfounded gaze until he stood in front of a full body length mirror to smooth back his antennae a bit. He turned back to Dib to give him a narrow-eyed stare. "What?" he asked in a slight growl. "Stop staring at me like a mindless idiot, human."
Dib, suddenly seeming to snap back to reality, quickly turned to look down at the covers, a blush forming on his face. "It's no...nothing. I just hope you haven't been walking around the house too long like that."
Zim's antennae instantly pricked up and he looked down to what he was wearing. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing? Zim looks just fine!"
Dib didn't look up as he began playing with the covers. "I never said there was anything WRONG with it. What I mean is, I hope my dad didn't see you like that. It might give him the wrong idea and accidentally give him a heart attack."
Zim gave Dib an unimpressed look. "Why? It's not like he doesn't already know we're sleeping together."
Dib closed his eyes and sighed. "That's besides the point, Zim. It doesn't make him any less disapproving of the fact. And I'd prefer to keep what we do in bed private. I'd rather not have my dad getting any ideas, even if we really aren't doing anything. It just makes things easier that way."
Zim snapped at Dib almost a second after he said that. "Well, who ever said my dressing like this should give anybody the idea I was planning to sleep with you?! Maybe it's just comfortable and I enjoy sleeping in this!"
Dib shook his head and sighed once more. "I never said...oh, never mind! Let's just go to bed." Dib removed his glasses and turned onto his side to sleep.
But Zim didn't want to end this conversation there. "No! I want to know what you were going to say, Dib-stink! If you don't want me wearing this then just say it! Cause I honestly could care less about what your father thinks. You humans really do care too much about what others think of you. Especially you, Dib. Always trying to please everybody so they'll accept you. Well newsflash, Dib! You can go ahead and keep trying to please your daddy so he'll give you the attention you shouldn't have to work for, but don't think for one second I'm going to help you gain any respect from somebody who doesn't even accept you for who you are! He doesn't deserve it!"
Dib sat up slowly, a sad look on his face. "Oh, come on, Zim. He wasn't that bad. It's not that he didn't care for me, he just..."
Zim cut in. "...called you crazy your entire life, put you in an asylum, and even now, disapproves of your way of life! He doesn't even trust me! And you expect me to trust HIM and lower myself down to your level just to please him! Zim will do no such thing!"
Every word coming from the alien's mouth had his temper rising to the point that he just wanted to scream and yell his frustration at the other. But he didn't. The words hurt too much because he knew they were true. All he wanted in that moment was for this conversation to end. He didn't bother arguing back. "You're right. You're absolutely right. I'm sorry. I guess that's a habit I just have to learn to get over. Now, can we just go back to sleep?"
Zim's glare seemed to soften up just a bit as he pretended to think about that a moment. "No. No, I don't think so. I still haven't gotten my revenge on you for earlier. You didn't think I'd just let you get away with what you said, did you?" he smirked evilly at Dib.
Dib's eyes widened at Zim's words. He watched as the Irken slinked closer. "Zim, what are you-? I'm sorry, okay. I didn't mean what I said earlier."
Zim's grin grew just that much wider. "Awww. Apology accepted, Dib-stink, but it really would be no fun if I didn't follow through with my punishment. Now, hold still." he purred seductively as he pounced on top of Dib.
Dib let out a startled gasp as Zim pinned him down to the bed, not at all amused. "What are you doing? Stop it. I said I was sorry." he began to struggle a bit.
Zim brought his mouth down to Dib's neck and kissed it gently. "Yes, yes. I know you are. But now I'm curious. I you think your father would have a heart attack from me just wearing this, I wonder what would happen if I left a few marks on you." He dragged his tongue across the skin on Dib's neck as he tightened his grip on Dib's wrists.
Dib tensed up. "Y...you wouldn't, would you?"
Dib couldn't recall one time Zim hadn't been gentle with him when having sex. He nibbled Dib's skin every once in a while but never did anything to leave any noticeable marks on Dib's skin.
He struggled more when he felt teeth grazing his neck, pleading with the alien to stop. "Zim, please. Don't do this. Don't..." his voice hitched in the back of his throat suddenly as he felt Zim bite down.
It wasn't hard enough to break the skin or even cause any harm, but Dib freaked out nonetheless. With more force than he meant to use, he managed to break free from Zim's grip and push the other off of him fairly hard. "STOP!" he accidentally screamed as he brought a hand up to his neck, just knowing there had to be a mark there now.
Zim hadn't been expecting quite that reaction from Dib. He had only been playing around, screwing around with Dib's mind. The rough push had surprised him to say the very least. His landing had been less graceful than he would have liked. He had been shoved off the bed and one of the first things to hit the ground was his head. He blinked his eyes open at Dib, a look of shock on his face at what Dib had just done.
Dib also looked a bit surprised as he looked down on Zim. A moment of silence passed before Zim finally sat up rubbing his head. Dib instantly moved to get out of bed and help Zim. "Zim, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...here, let me help-."
Zim slowly got to his feet, still holding his sore head. Before Dib could get completely out of bed, he pushed Dib back in with one hand and moved to the other side of the bed without saying a word. He climbed in on his side and turned so he was facing the window and away from Dib. Dib watched Zim intently as he got into bed. He reached out a hand to place on Zim's arm. "Zim, are you going to be okay?"
The instant Dib touched him, Zim shrugged Dib's hand away. "Don't touch me. Just go to sleep."
Dib retracted his hand back to his chest, wincing a bit at that response. "O...okay..." he settled back into the bed and turned so he also was facing away from Zim. He closed his eyes and tried to will himself to sleep. Zim, on the other hand, stayed awake long into the night, just staring out the window at the stars in the sky.
MEANWHILE, OUT IN SPACE ORBITING ABOVE EARTH.
An Irken ship prepared to enter the Earth's atmosphere. The Irken sitting behind the controls of the ship was none other than Bixxle. Bixxle was one of the Tallests' best invaders and had always been completely loyal to them no matter what the mission. His newest mission was to go ahead of the Massive and mate with one of the Earth females to see how compatible they were with Irkens. If it worked, he was to contact the Tallest immediately.
The mission seemed simple enough. Stay under cover a few weeks, get confirmation that the plan had worked, then return to the Massive. He already knew exactly what he was going to do. He had been instructed to find Zim first and confirm that their data was correct, then find an Earth female to perform his "experiment" on.
He typed in the coordinates of Zim's whereabouts. He had a small device that was able to pick up any being using a PAK and in this case, Zim was the only one with that kind of technology. As soon as Zim was located, he set a course for Earth. As the hours passed and he drew closer and closer to his destination, he could feel his excitement growing. He already knew he was going to enjoy this mission from the start. It was going to be easy and provide him with some time for rest and relaxation, a luxury he rarely had time for nowadays.
His crimson eyes scanned the sky outside with anticipation. He was close. He could feel it in his skin. The clouds surrounding the upper atmosphere were becoming less visible as he could see the ground below approaching fast. Before he knew it, he could see the neighborhood below coming into view.
His sensors were locked on Zim's location and he was eager to begin his work. He had no trouble finding a fairly well hidden place not far from the Membranes' summer household to park his ship. It was close enough that he could keep track of Zim easily but far enough away from civilization that he wouldn't have to deal with too many of the human inhabitants. It was dark when he landed and he was grateful for that. It meant he could start his work sooner than later. It would be dangerous to attempt anything during the day.
With a little effort, he managed to install the locating chip from his locating device straight into his PAK so his spider legs could get him there in no time. Gathering everything he expected he'd be needing for the first half of his mission into his PAK, he took off into the nigh to find Zim. It didn't take long to find Zim at all. He reached the house in less than 45 minutes and easily found and accessible entrance. With great ease, he managed to climb the side of the house with his spider legs and determine exactly which room Zim was in.
He could see Zim through the window, sound asleep. He smirked when he saw how vulnerable the Irken looked at that moment. Using his spider legs to undo the lock on Dib's window, he stealthily slipped into the darkened room, taking cover in the shadows just in case one of them woke up. The moonlight glistened off his blood colored eyes as he looked down upon the sleeping Irken. Zim had at some point shifted in his sleep so he was now curled up tightly against Dib's body, his head now resting on Dib's chest, tucked gently under Dib's chin. Dib was laying flat on his back, breathing lightly against Zim's antennae.
Retrieving a small scanning device from his PAK, he stood back to activate it. There was a small beep then what sounded like it charging up. As he waited for the device in his hand to completely charge, he studied the two lying in bed together, especially Dib. 'This must be the human Zim let dominate him. Ugh! These humans are so ugly!' he thought to himself and shuddered.
There came another small beep, breaking him from his thoughts. As silently as possible, he moved to stand in front of the bed. Taking the scanner, he held it out about where Zim's middle would be. He pressed a small button on the side of it, a sudden flash lighting up the room momentarily before an image appeared on the small screen of the device. Bixxle studied the image a moment. 'Well, there's definitely something there.' he stored the scanner back in his PAK before leaving the room to look around the rest of the house. Perhaps he could find some other useful information that would help his mission go even smoother.
He checked several of the other rooms upstairs, finding nothing until he stumbled into Membrane's room. Membrane was fast asleep in his bed, a bit of paperwork surrounding the covers. Bixxle gave him a disgusted look. 'Damn. The males of this species really are ugly. I really hope the females are better looking.' he thought to himself before leaving the room completely.
He came across one final room he wanted to check out before leaving the house completely. It seemed as thought there was nothing useful anywhere in this house but he checked nonetheless. What he found beyond the door, however, would turn out to be more helpful than he originally thought. Cautiously, he entered.
Dib sat up in bed, blinking his eyes halfway open. Slowly, he shifted to sit on the side of the bed, removing the covers and mumbling to himself under his breath. "Shouldn't have had that soda before bed..." he whispered to himself groggily, his mind still in a hazy daze.
Zim also shifted about, whining about the sudden loss of his current source of heat. Reluctantly, he forced his eyes open slightly and pushed himself up with one arm. Rubbing one of his eyes tiredly, he addressed the still half-asleep human sitting on the side of the bed. "Where are you going?"
Dib yawned and stretched once before answering. "Bathroom. Drank a huge soda before bed."
Zim simply buried his face back into a pillow, his antennae twitching a bit before settling back at the side of his head. "Whatever..." he mumbled as sleep began to take him over again.
Dib stood up to leave but stopped and looked back at Zim. "Listen, Zim. I'm really sorry about what happened earlier. Are you still mad at me?"
Zim didn't move to look up though he lifted one antenna to at least acknowledge the fact that he was listening to Dib. A moment passed in silence before a sigh could be heard coming form the Irken. "No...I shouldn't have been teasing you like that." The truth was, he hadn't been at all mad at Dib. Shocked, yes, and perhaps even a little bit scared Dib would hurt him.
The words were said so lowly that they did little to help Dib's uneasiness. Still feeling slightly uncomfortable, Dib left the room in a hurry to use the bathroom.
Meanwhile, back with Bixxle, the Irken Invader was entering the most forbidden room in the house, a room so horrible that nobody usually came out alive. Gaz's room. He expected to just come across more useless junk but was greeted by pitch-black nothingness. The window in her room had been blocked off, discouraging any light from entering. Bixxle shivered from the feeling the room gave him but moved in still. He wasn't going to let a little bit of darkness stop him.
Pulling out a small flashlight from his PAK, he shined it in the room, the first sight to greet his eyes being a sleeping Gaz. Instantly his antennae pricked up as he stepped forward to get a better look. The Tallest hadn't mentioned anything about a female being with Zim. It didn't matter. Perhaps this mission would be even easier than he had originally thought. This was perfect. He could kill two birds with one stone. Now he wouldn't have to go searching for another Earth female.
He shined the flashlight straight on Gaz to get a better look at his prize. She had pale skin that seemed to shine even brighter with the bright light illuminating it. Her purple hair fell just past her shoulders and was slightly curled at the ends. And even under the covers, he could see she had a nearly perfect figure underneath. For a human, she was a rather lovely piece of work. He could already feel himself slightly turned on by her appearance.
He nearly jumped out of his skin, however, when she shifted suddenly. Her amber eyes opened slowly, causing Bixxle to drop the flashlight to the ground where it rolled under the bed. He jumped back quickly as the room returned to complete darkness. Gaz had already sensed his presence, however. "What the...? Who the hell is in here?" she said as she searched blindly for her window. Upon finding it, she pushed the curtains aside to let in at least a little light.
Bixxle stayed far back, hiding in the shadows the best he could. But it was no use. Gaz could still make out the Irken though not well enough. "Zim? It that you? What the hell are you doing in my room?! I'll give you 5 seconds to get out before I kick your ass! ONE! TWO! THR-!" She was cut off suddenly.
Bixxle had lunged at her with his spider legs, clapping a hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. How dare she compare him to Zim?! He hadn't planned on doing it this way. He was going to just drug her, but she had pushed him over the edge. He wanted her to realize the consequences of what she had just said.
He pinned her down tightly to the bed, his spider legs digging into her skin. Using two spider legs to hoist himself off the ground, he came to hover right over her. He leered menacingly at her as he brought himself to eye level with her. Her cold glare of hatred seemed to want to pierce into his skull at that moment. He met her glare head on with one of his own, his blood red eyes holding a kind of sick amusement to them.
GRAPHIC RAPE SCENE STARTS HERE. NO LIKEY, NO LOOKEY! ENJOY!
He brought his free hand down to grazed one claw down her front, a sick smile forming on his face. Her eyes seemed to widen as she realized exactly what was going on. She suddenly began thrashing about in an attempt to break free but only managed to cut her wrists deeper with sharp edges of the spider legs. Bixxle only leaned in closer to whisper into one of her ears. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, my lovely little flower. We wouldn't want that pretty little body of yours getting too marked up. Not that it's gonna stay that way for long."
Gaz's breathing grew haggard as her struggling did little to help her. She could feel the blood pooling at her wrists and dripping down her arms but she didn't dare look away as Bixxle drew still closer. Her thrashing about had made her seem more like an Irken female than an Earth female, making his arousal even stronger. Naturally, Irken females were known for being violent, especially while mating. It made Bixxle want to rip away her clothes and force himself into her, but he controlled his urges. It would be much more fun and rewarding if he made her squirm a bit first.
Gaz did indeed squirm when she felt his hand rest at the bottom of her nightshirt. She thought she would be sick when she felt his hand travel up her side underneath the shirt and even more so when he grazed his teeth along her neck and down to her shoulder. He slid part of her shirt down off her shoulder so he could get at more skin before finally just ripping the top of her shirt away to reveal plump, warm breasts. Gaz shuddered and tried to break free once more as Bixxle seemed to study the top half of her body. He skin may have been even paler here than on her face. Otherwise, she looked just like an Irken except for the very tips of her breast.
Bixxle studied her nipples curiously a moment before bringing a hand down to cup one of them and run and thumb over the nub there. It instantly hardened, making her gasp in a breath through Bixxle's hand. Her skin was so much warmer than an Irken's and he loved it. He wanted to taste it, run his tongue across the smooth surface of it. Bringing his mouth down to her skin, he instantly began trailing his tongue down her neck and chest until he had come across one of her nipples. He took it into his mouth and began suckling on it until if was full hard then he moved to the other one to do the same.
Gaz squirmed about uncomfortably some more, jumping when she felt a cool hand sliding into her panties. She immediately arched her back when he began to stroke her with one finger. Tears of anger were brimming at the sides of her eyes as she glared such a hatred filled glare at him, that he may have well dropped dead were looks able to kill. He was becoming impatient now, just wanting to relieve his aching member since he had made her squirm enough for one night.
He ripped away her panties aggressively before undoing his own uniform pants to produce his now hard member. Completely exposed, Gaz began thrashing even more violently, not caring how much the spider legs ripped into her flesh. Bixxle actually had to use another spider leg to restrain her more. He positioned himself in front of her on the bed, pressing the tip of his member to her entrance. She gasped and her eyes went wide with horror. This couldn't be happening. How the hell was this happening?! It had to be a bad dream, as nightmare.
He forced his way inside of her with one quick thrust, completely sheathing himself in unbelievable warmth. Gaz had cried out in pain, her eyes clenched tightly closed as the tears just kept coming and coming. The pain was enough to let her know she definitely wasn't dreaming. This was all real and all she wanted to do in that moment was die. Either that, or kill who she thought was Zim. But all she could do was cry. Cry until it all ended. Her voice had been muffled by Bixxle's hand and there was no way to cry out for help.
Bixxle moaned in absolute ecstasy. He couldn't recall ever having sex this good. Somehow, the feeling was different from the feeling he had gotten in the past having sex with willing Irken females. Although small and tight, his intrusion had been fairly simple. And the warmth! These humans gave off so much heat. Perhaps that was why Zim had suddenly grown so attached to a human.
He gave a few more strong thrusts before burying his seed as deep inside her as possible. Now all he had to do was sit and wait.
END GRAPHIC RAPE SCENE HERE. HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED!
Gaz was going to be sick. She just knew it. Bixxle pulled out of her and zipped up his pants. She wasn't sure how but in a flash he was gone, leaving her sitting up in bed, panting. The way he had left had her wondering whether she may have just imagined the while thing, but her still ripped up clothes and bloodied wrists and legs told her otherwise. And the pain! The pain was too real to be a hallucination. Without even knowing she had done so, she screamed before becoming violently ill in a trash bin she had near her bed.
Dib flushed the toilet and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He looked up in the mirror as he was finishing drying them off. He could see the bite mark Zim had left on his neck and he cursed. "Damnit, Zim." he said as he brought two fingers up to gently touch it.
It was at that moment that he heard an almost inhuman scream ripping through the darkened house. He jumped instantly and ran into the hall. It had come from Gaz's room, he was sure. He ran as quickly as he could in the dark towards Gaz's room. He knew he couldn't have been the only one who had heard that. As he suspected, both he and Membrane reached the entrance to her room at the same time, Zim following closely behind with a blanket around himself.
Membrane grabbed Dib by the shoulders. "Dib, what was that?!"
Dib could only stutter out a response. "I...I don't know. But it ca...came from Gaz's room."
Without knocking, they both burst through the door just to come face to face with the sight of Gaz huddled on the ground next to her bed. Her clothes were in shreds and she looked absolutely traumatized. She was crying and mumbling something to herself as she gripped her arms tightly.
Membrane wasted not time in making his way over to her side. Dib, however, was frozen in his spot a moment. He never dreamt he'd ever see Gaz in such a state of disarray. Membrane instantly wrapped protective arms around her to hold her tightly. She clung to him but otherwise seemed in a daze. "I'll kill him. I'll kill him! I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM!" she screamed.
None of this made sense to him as he tried to calm her down. "Gaz, darling. Please. Tell me what happened. I want to help."
All she could get out at first was one word however before finally answering. "Ra...Rape...He raped me...HE RAPED ME! THAT BASTARD FUCKING RAPED ME!"
Those words had Membrane's face paling more than it already was. "Wh...What?!" He gently pulled Gaz away so she could look him in the eyes. "Who, Gaz?! WHO?! Who did this to you?!"
She was about to answer when she noticed Zim standing behind Dib. A terrified look came to her face as she realized it could all happen again very easily, what with those spider legs. With a shaking finger, she pointed at Zim. "STAY THE FUCK AWAY, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!"
Both Dib and Membrane turned to look at Zim, who looked shocked and confused. "Zim, shat is she talking about?" Dib asked.
Zim looked thoroughly confused. "How the hell should I know?!"
Gaz broke in as soon as he said that. "IT WAS HIM! HE CAME INTO MY ROOM AND RAPED ME!"
"WHAT?!" Zim nearly screeched. "ZIM DID NO SUCH THING!"
Gaz argued back. "OH YEAH?! THEN WHY WAS MY RAPER IRKEN?! I DON'T KNOW ANY HUMANS WITH ANTENNAE, BLOOD RED EYES, AND SPIDERLEGS! AND THERE'S NO WAY THERE ARE ANY OTHER IRKENS ON THIS PLANET!"
Zim didn't know how to respond to that. As if just noticing, Membrane pulled one of Gaz's wrists up to examine it. "Gaz, what happened to your wrists? Did your raper do this also?"
Gaz buried her face back in her father's chest and nodded as she cried even more now. Membrane held her close again as he tucked her head under his chin, watching her the entire time. "I see." He then looked up at Zim with stern eyes. "Zim, I'll ask this once. That you'll please leave our presence until we have this figured out. It'd be the best thing for Gaz at the moment. Please."
Zim couldn't believe what he was hearing. "What?! Why?! I'm telling you, I didn't do anything! Just ask Dib! I've been in bed with him all night!"
Dib, who had been silent the entire time, unable to take his eyes off his sister, looked up suddenly. "It's true. He has been in bed with me all night. I mean, except for the time I was in the bathroom, but I was only gone a few minutes."
Membrane seemed to give Dib a long, hard stare before noticing something. "Dib, what is that on your neck?"
Dib instantly slapped a hand over the mark and blushed a deep red. "N...nothing. It's just a scratch."
Membrane didn't buy that for a second. He got up off the ground and moved Dib's hand away to examine it closer. "Looks more like bite marks to me." He touched it and Dib winced. Membrane looked back up at Zim, his eyes serious. "I'm sorry, Dib. But until things get straightened out, I'm not sure if I can fully trust Zim, and I don't want to take any more chances. I think it would be best if he stayed in the guest room for a while with constant surveillance."
Zim's jaw nearly dropped to the ground when Membrane said that. He quickly turned back toward Dib with pleading eyes. "DIB! DO SOMETHING! You know I would never do that! I'm innocent!"
Dib felt trapped as he looked back and forth between Zim and his father. Finally, his gaze landed on Gaz. As much as he wanted to believe Zim, he knew his sister would never lie about something like this. He finally made up his mind, looking away to the ground. He couldn't leave Gaz with her in this condition. "Maybe...it would be best...if you, you know...left for a while, Zim. Spend a few days in the guest room until we sort things out...okay?" he brought his eyes up to look at Zim.
Zim's mouth stood agape as he stared at Dib. He couldn't believe Dib was taking his father's side. Without so much as another word, he turned and left the room in a hurry. He felt more hurt than he ever had before. The Dib didn't trust him and neither did anybody else.
Dib wanted to follow after him but now wasn't the time to leave Gaz. He heard the door to the guest room slamming shut and immediately felt horrible.
Zim locked the door behind him before collapsing in a heap on the bed to cry himself back to sleep.
A/N: Meh...It's 3:00 in the morning and I've been typing this since 8:30. And to top it off, I spent all day writing this chapter out. You people better be happy I got this up so soon. I'll try to have the next update up as soon as possible but it may not be up until at least next weekend. Well, anyways. Hope you enjoyed this chapter of Near Misses. The next chapter is Chapter 6: Vengeance. Cya then!
And now to thank everybody that reviewed on that last chapter.
To Apple Pornography: Lol. Trust me, I know the feeling so that's why I mention my reviewers at the end of each chapter. It's just my way of saying thanks for reading and putting up with my horrible grammar and spelling mistakes. XD Yay! I'm glad to hear I accomplished my goal of making Zim cute! Even if the chapter was random and it puts Zim somewhat out of character. Oh well, the cuteness, more than makes up for it. Well, let me know when you get your first story up so I can read it. And yes there are such things as UFOs! I see them all the time! I swear to God there are freaking aliens out there. A lot of people I know don't believe me though. They all think I'm just schizophrenic! (God, did I spell that totally wrong?! I'm too lazy to go check right now! XD) But that doesn't change the fact that there are aliens out there!!! Well, you'll have to wait another chapter or two before Zim gets into space. But he will get there. You'll see.
To Sora4President: I knew it! See! Somebody was bound to say that! XD And yay for accomplishing my goal of making Zim cute and mixing cute with angst! does happy dance Yay! Rum! Yesh! Drinking helps me think sometimes...or was that forget? I forget, I've been drinking. XD
To Starry Eyed Escapist: Yay! A new reviewer! Thanks so much for checking out my story. Your comment really made my day! Thanks for loving my brain and it's an honor to hear I can actually inspire someone. 8D Unless aliens come down to Earth and vaporize my body, I think I'll continue to exist. XD
And to anybody else that reviews- Thank you all. Much love to all my reviewers!
