12 PM

Your POV

"Well your judgment was right hyuman, so far today has been pretty fun." Zim smiled, I sat next to him on a bench eating my sandwich I had prepared previously for lunch today. 

"Yeah! After Dib pushed me in the pool he left us alone, which is a little suspicious don't you think?" I asked, across the park sat Dib, he was sitting next to his sister Gaz.

"Hmm, you may be right. I wonder what that big-headed boy is thinking." Zim pondered. I looked around to see all of the other kids eating lunch or still playing around in the pool area. 

"Well, it's not like we could read his mind-"

"THAT'S IT! I could make a device to read Dib's mind and find out his plans! BRILLIANT IDEA ME!!" Zim shouted. 

"Zim that's-"

"GIR! Come get me! I have a brilliantly evil plan to work on!" Zim grabbed a metal tube thing from his PAK probably a walkie-talkie type thing. "Don't worry hyuman, Zim has a plan, I will see you tomorrow!" Zim ran behind a nearby bush, then suddenly being flung into the air by GIR he flew away. I sighed continuing to eat my lunch. 

3 PM

Your POV

"Hi, mom." I smiled walking into my house. 

"Hey sweetie, I have some news from the police about your dad's case." I immediately frowned.

"What's the news..?" I nervously asked.

"They still haven't found his body, but they have a lead on who they think killed him." Mom's voice cracked slightly, my eyes started to water.

"They still haven't found his body?" I whispered.

"I'm so sorry sweetie. He's gone, they can't find him." Mom sobbed. I started to cry, my mom holding me tight. "I'm sorry we had to move away, I just wanted to get away from the memories," Mom whispered. I pushed away running upstairs into my room.

"It's my fault, they killed him."

8 PM

Your POV

My eyes were sore, I had tears still running down my face. My throat was dry from sobbing for a few hours. 'I was so caught up this week with new friends and school that I completely forgot about dad.' I was ashamed of myself for forgetting the biggest mistake of my life that happened two weeks ago. 

At this point, I started to realize how tired I really was. Curling up under my blanket I slowly fell asleep, my face still covered with my tears of sadness. 

*^- 1 AM

 [Two weeks ago]

A man can be seen running down a dimly lit street, his face pale, looking panicked he ran down a dark alleyway. Turning around he realized he was cornered, the dim light reveals the man held a small girl in his arms. Two men in black armor can be seen standing in the entrance of the alleyway. 

"You know, you are terrible at hiding away." One of them says.

"Yeah, and running too." The second one implies. "You can't hide her or yourself for long, the boss has many tabs on your family. You owe a huge debt to the boss, you haven't paid him back, so now we kill you." The second man goes on.

"No! He's done nothing wrong! You can't kill him!" The small girl cries, holding onto the man tighter. The man smiles looking down at the small girl.

"I'm sorry Y/N, I have to go with them, I never paid my half of the deal. You need to stay safe, along with your mother." The man said softly to his daughter. 

"No, please! PLEASE DON'T! I NEED YOU! You can't die!" The girl wails, the man sat his daughter on the ground slowly walking toward the two men. 

"Good choice, if you come with us we will leave the girl alone." The first man replied.

"Good." The man said.

"NO! DAD!" The man went down on one knee between the other two men. One held up a sword, it was two feet long. Made of obsidian. He swung down chopping the kneeling man's head clean off. They picked up the man's remains quickly fleeing the scene.

The small girl sat petrified at what happened, in the distance, she can hear blaring sirens.

"DAAAAD!! NOOO!!"

3 AM

[Present]

Your POV

"DAAAAD!! NOOO!!" I screamed waking myself up, I started to hyperventilate. Sitting up in my bed I shook trying to slow my breathing. To my left, my clock told me it was 3:06 AM. I saw a note next to my alarm clock.

"I'm sorry sweetie, my boss called me unexpectedly so I will be gone until Monday, I left money in your dresser for the next few days. Call me when you get home from school tomorrow."

Love Mom.

"She left me too? Tonight can't get any worse." I mumbled to myself. I heard muffled knocking on my window, I panicked and immediately hid behind my bed frame. My panicked state didn't help me much, I kept hyperventilating when the knocking got louder.

CRASH

"Stupid window." I gasped.

"ZIM?! WHY DID YOU BREAK MY WINDOW?!" I yelled at him, my breathing was still short and quick causing me to become dizzy when I stood up to yell at him I became nauseous and fell forward. 

"Woah! oof!" I had fallen on top of Zim, my heart was going a million times a minute not because I fell on top of him but because I was still in panic mostly from my nightmare and my adrenaline. Zim noticed my panicked state and tried to comfort me.

"What happened?! I heard you scream! Why are you pale!? WHY ARE YOU LEAKING??" Zim sat up against the wall grabbing me and setting me down on his lap. I started to sob, pushing my face into his chest, hiding my face from him.

3:26 AM

Zim's POV

I was confused, I was really worried when I heard the hyuman scream. I immediately rushed over only to find Y/N fell on top of me, her breathing was fast. Her life source was beating really fast, I could hear it very loudly when she pressed against me. She was leaking the deadly earth liquid from her eyes.

"Y/N hyuman? Are you okay? Zim is worried." I nervously rubbed her arm, not knowing what to do. The hyuman didn't respond but simply held me tighter. I put my arms around her trying to help her calm down.

The liquid started to burn my skin but I didn't care, my hyuman needed me and I was happy to be there.

'Am I starting to have feelings for her? No.....Maybe...Probably. My evil plans can wait, I need to help her.'

I sat rubbing Y/N's back slowly while she cried in my lap. My legs were starting to go numb from sitting on the floor for too long. Her breathing was much slower and her life source was beating at a slower pace now.

"Y/N?" I grabbed her shoulders pulling her away from my chest, her face was relaxed, her cheeks and nose were red from crying but her eyes were closed, she was probably asleep now. "My poor hyuman..." I frowned, I grabbed her waist, standing up I carried her to her bed.

"I should probably stay...to make sure she's safe," I assured myself, I jumped up onto her bed, pulling her close to me. My face was heated up, 'Maybe I do like her, she's beautiful.' I smiled, laying my head on top of hers I closed my eyes, allowing my PAK to pull me into charge mode.
