Zim POV
"Wake up." A tall, red eyed man said, kicking my stomach.
My breath left me and I curled in towards stomach, clutching it, I realized that I was on the ground for some reason.
"Finally." The man murmured muttered under his breath, looking down at me.
I shook my head, getting out of the haze that I was in. "What happened?" I asked, kneeling and letting my hand go up to my forehead, I was getting a pounding headache. Everything was blurry… I couldn't remember anything… was this normal? Was it something I drank?
"I could tell you that it wasn't my fault… I needed you so that I could get the information of where she was, but those Irk-damned doctors just had to go in a erase your memory." The red eyed man growled.
'She? Who's she?' I thought to myself. "Why would anyone want to erase my memory?" I asked him.
His eyes widened and then he smiled at me kindly. "I have no idea Jack; those are bad people; those Jet inhabitants. They stole my mate and would not give her back. My poor beloved Gaz." He said dramatically.
Warning bells rang in the back of my head but I shook them off. "That's terrible!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, now we are at war with them, you knew where she was… my Gaz. You were my only hope." He said, grabbing my shoulders and pulling me up and off of the ground.
"Why would I know where your Gaz was?" I asked him, confused.
"Because, you were the… um… you were the one that I put in charge to take care of her when I wasn't there. She used to tell you everything… but then they kidnapped her. They shot at you when you tried to run after her." He said and then dramatically looked into the space behind me, as if he were deep in thought. "But I stopped them with my army and told them to fix you… they did but they didn't tell me where my Gaz was… and they erased your memory to make sure you wouldn't remember where she was." He said, pure hatred in his eyes, making them redder than they already were.
I was confused beyond belief. "I'm sorry to hear that sir… what's your name?" I asked him.
"Tallest Red… but you could call me Red." He said holding out his hand.
Something told me that I shouldn't trust this man, but I ignored the feeling and shook his hand. "My name is… my name is… Oh jezz, sorry, I don't know my own name." I said, embarrassed.
"Don't worry; it's not your fault. Your name's Jack." He said and let go of my hand to go sit on a chair.
I looked around and noticed my surroundings. It was a library, a table on the side near a fireplace and two comfortable chairs (A/N: If you guys read my story 'Brother vs. Alien' than you would see the similarities).
"Well, Red, let's go get Gaz." I told him, anything to get that awkward silence out of the way.
Red got up and grabbed my arm, pulling me out of the room and rushing into another one that was down the hall. "Thanks Z- I mean Jack. I need you to tell me if anything seems familiar." He said and the pushed a button that was on a wall.
Some sort of door opened and it let sun into the room. "Come on, let's go while it's calm out there." Red said, waving his hand so that I would follow him.
I fell into step behind him as we ran out of the ship that we were in and onto the ground and into some sort of building. I thought I heard a smeet cry by when I saw that Red didn't hear anything I just shook my head. Must be a memory or something, I must have been a family man or something… if I was I hope my family is okay.
"There she is." He muttered.
I looked at where he was looking and I froze… she was the most beautiful thing I've seen. My jaw dropped. She was sitting down in a corner, her legs pulled up to her chest, her arms over them and her head leaning against her knees, crying heavily.
Something inside me warmed at the sight, I wanted to go over there and wrap my arms around her shoulders, but I couldn't. She was Red's mate, not mine.
Just as Red was about to step in her direction someone tackled him to the ground and knocked him out.
