From Human To Irken

Chapter 9

Zim woke Sara up the next morning, as usual. She put her fake hair in low, loose, pigtails with some thin black ribbon Gir found. She put on her cheer leading uniform. It was a white tank top with a purple stripe in between two thin black ones. She had a white skirt with folds on the bottom (The universal Cheerleader skirt) with purple and black on them. She wore her black boots like she always did.

"Ready?" she asked Zim.

"Yep." Zim said. They walked to Skool.

After Skool, Zim went home. Sara was having Cheer Practice. He walked in his house. He walked into his kitched and saw a figure in black. Zim pulled out his gun.

"Hello Zim." Dib said, "You're gonna do something for me."

Sara put on her purple jacket and put her pompoms in her backpack. She started to leave. Cheerleading had went well. Sara started to walk back to the base. She walked in the door and put her backpack on the couch. Zim jumped at her and pinned her to the ground.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she yelled.

"Play along, explain later." Zim whispered to her quickly.

"ZIM WHAT ARE YOU DOING! LET ME GO!" Sara yelled. She struggles and tried to get away. He shoved her against the wall and she acted like it hurt. She screamed. Then he picked her up. She flailed her legs and kicked and showed her fangs, hissing. He got her beneath the base and threw her in a room with a window and locked the door.

"ZIM!" Sara screamed. Zim looked at her and mouthed, 'Sorry. Will explain later, love you.' She watched as he left. She was scared but knew Zim must be trying to save her. She hit the window and started yelling and screaming.

"Stop." Dib said walking out towards the room.

"Don't hurt her!" Zim yelled running out.

"W-what's going on?" Sara yelled.

"You're going to watch him die." Dib said.

"NO!" Sara yelled. She screamed and hit the window. Zim shot a glance at her. Dib took out a knife and went at Zim. He flinched and jumped back. Dib swung the knife at Zim, he tried to dodge it. Sara was screaming and crying. She kicked the door. She heard a splatter and saw blood hit the window. She screamed and hit it harder. She had forgotten about her PAK. She took a gun from it and shot the door until she had enough room to get inside. She jumped through. The light went out and Sara hit the floor hard. Pitch black darkness surounded them. They were in silence. She felt something bump into her.

"Zim?" she whispered almost silently.

"Yeah. Be quiet... Stay close..." Zim whispered almost silently. She pressed close to him and they crawled silently.

"Stop." Zim whispered, "Lay down but be able to move forward..." Sara layed down. Zim layed next to her. He kissed her quickly and started slowly moving forward. Sara pressed close to him.

"Was that your blood?" Sara whispered.

"Yeah, but I healed. Shhh..." Zim whispered. She felt something moving close by. She pushed Zim to the other side and pressed closer.

"Don't move..." Zim whispered. He stood up and felt the wall. He bent down and whispered, "Stand up and stay close." Sara stood up. Zim held her hand and she moved close to him. He stopped.

"Follow me." Zim whispered. He opened the door to the elevator. He got Sara in there first then himself. He shut the door.

"Computer, take us above." Zim said. They started moving.

"Dib will hear us," Sara whispered.

"Nah. Soundproof."Zim said. They got out and were at the human part of the base.

"Computer only turn the top part of the base's lights on." Zim said. The lights came on. Gir was watching TV really loud.

"Soundproof." Sara said.

"Sara follow me, this is dangerous. We have to leave. Cmon Gir!" Zim said. He put on his disguise and Sara already had her's on. She grabbed her bag and they walked to the door.

"Computer, shut down." Zim said. The computer shut down and the lights went back off. Zim opened the door. Light came in. They walked out of the house and shut the door.

"Run!" Zim yelled. The three ran and ran until they were in the city.

"Let's get a hotel," Sara said.

"We can't afford that..." Zim said.

"We can." Sara said, "When my parents were... uhh... killed... I stole their money. I have about 30,000 dollars."

"Woah... Okay hotel it is!" Zim said.

They checked into a hotel and got in bed. The room had two beds. One for Gir, one for Sara and Zim. Gir was asleep really fast. Sara took off her disguise and got in bed. Zim did the same and joined her.

"You put yourself in danger for me." Sara said.

"I said I was going to protect you. I love you Sara. I'm not going to let you be put in danger."

"No one has ever... cared this much about me..."

"I love you..."

"I love you too..." Sara looked into eachothers eyes for a second then started making out.

It was 5 AM.

"I hear something..." Sara said waking Zim up.

"It's not Dib." Zim said. He kissed her. "Go back to sleep."

"I can't... I'm scared..."

"You're okay... I'm here." Zim said. A loud thump came from outside the door. Her eyes widen and fear struck her. Zim sat up and withdrew his gun. They heard footsteps outside their door. The door busted down and Zim put his hand over Sara's eyes and shot. He removed his hand and blocked her veiw of the body.

"Who was it?" Sara asked.

"No one we know..." Zim said. She turned and walked to the window.

"Let's go." Sara said.

"Did you pay for the room yet?"

"Nope."

"GIR! WE ARE LEAVING!" Zim yelled. Gir jumped out. Zim brought Sara her bag and they jumped out the window.

"Where are we gonna go?" Zim asked.

"I don't know..." she said. She put on her disguise and so did Zim. Sara shivered as the night air hit her skin.

"Here's your jacket." Zim said handing it to her. She put it on and they started walking.

"Let's go back to the base..." Sara said.

"We can't... It's not safe... for now..." Zim said. She put her hood up.

"Well... The woods then." Sara said.

"The woods?"

"I have had to live in the woods for a week with only sticks. We can make a shelter and live there for awhile."

"You sure you can handle it?"

"Positive." Sara said.

"Ok... You ok?"

"No..."

"What's wrong?"

"Scared... No where is safe anymore..."

"I know... But you're going to be safe with me."

"How does Dib have these people sent out to destroy us?"

"I don't know. But we have something Dib doesn't?"

"What?"

"We have eachother." Zim said. Sara shivered. Zim put his arm around her and she pressed close to him.

They were walking through the woods looking for a spot to set up.

"Look, there's a cave!" Sara said, "I don't think I'll make it... Im so tired and my feet hurt really bad."

"I'll cary you."

"You don't have to..."

"Whatever." Zim said. He picked her up and ran into the cave. He set her down. Gir ran in. Sara took a blanket from her bag and spread it on the ground. She layed down on part of the blanket. Zim layed down by her. She got out another blanket and threw it over herself and Zim. She pressed close to him and felt his warmth seep into her. Her eyes closed slowly and she fell asleep.
