I am ZIM!

I don't have any jetpack or anything in my Pak, so I had to walk back. It snowed on me. It just started getting harder and harder and harder. It was so bad, I lost sight of the road and couldn't see more than 20 feet in front of me.

It was cold.

I almost wanted to die.

NO!

NOT WHEN DELILAH IS OUT THERE!

I REFUSE TO DIE!

Someone save me...

I've been walking for about an hour in this horrid weather.

I'm hungry.

I'm thirsty.

I'm so cold.

Why did I come in only my uniform and a jacket?

I didn't expect or prepare for this.

But I'm doing this for my Delilah!

Delilah...

I wonder what they've done to her. Experiments? Abuse? Anything inhumane?

I want her back so badly... Nobody can stop me.

I walked a little faster in the thick snow. My boots kept sinking into the stuff every time I took a single step.

I wanted to cry, but I thought the tears would completely freeze on my face.

NO, that is NOT a joke!

I pictured me and Delilah, we were so happy together, before Tak came. Tak ruined everything.

I shoved her out of my mind and thought more about Delilah. She's so beautiful, so tough, so smart and witty and...

I can't keep thinking like this! I'm getting distracted!

But Delilah...

No buts! Keep walking!

I love...

Irkens cannot feel love!

I screamed at myself in my head. I'm not giving up. Never.

I sighed in the cold breeze. I saw my breathe escape and fade away.

Dare is everything to me...

I'M NOT STOPPING!

EVER!

I took off sprinting through the thick snow. My shoes didn't sink into the snow when I didn't give them the chance.

I didn't notice before, but I was actually smiling happily when I ran. I noticed that there was a drop right in front of me. I stopped before I could fall.

The sun shined in my face. It was suddenly warm with the jacket. I took it off and looked at the view the cliff provided.

The city was just under me.

I could see my house! Haha!

I grinned and launched myself off the cliff with my Pak legs.

NO, I'm NOT committing suicide; I found a faster way to reach my fortress.

I swear, I was a little happy because of this. I flipped through the air a little bit.

I saw a shelf of rock under me. I caught it with my Pak legs and slowly led myself down the rest of the mountain.

I easily saw my house and ran to it. I let myself in the back door and ran into the living room. I switched the communicator in the wall on.

I'm getting Dare back, whether it kills me.
