Nightmares
Dad was at work as I played my games. I looked at the clock for the curfew. It was nine. I turned off my GS2 and fell asleep.
I was dreaming. I heard the waves crashing. Near me, it was the ocean. I felt someone tugging my hand. I turned to see who it was. It was my brother.
"What have I said about touching me, Dib?!" I growled. He looked frightened, but not at me.
"Run Gaz! You gotta run!" he whispered. "This way!" he pointed.
"Why should I?!" I demanded.
He let go of my hand and yelped. Suddenly, he sank into the floor.
"Dib!" I screamed. But he was gone. In his place was a black wolf with brown eyes. He looked away from me.
I saw a light coming out from the forest. Zim stepped out of there, his skin faintly shining, his eyes red and dangerous. He held his green hand and moved to make me come to him. The wolf growled at him.
"Trust in Zim," he purred.
I took another step.
The wolf launched up in the space between me and the alien.
My eyes opened up to the ceiling. My room. I looked around. I moaned. What a nightmare. As I prepared myself for today, one word was in my mind.
Alien.
I knew about aliens since my brother kept ranting about them when I was with him, even through mails.
I compared my own observations with my brothers. Mine: Stupid, small, fast, eyes that are different color that wear contact lenses, and others that are smarter than Zim. Dib's criteria: blood drinkers, aliens, vampires, enemies of the human race and werewolves, cold-skinned, and immortal.
I also remembered something as well. Vampires can't go out in the daylight. But does alien vampires count? If so, the vampires would burn them, turn them into dust, or transform them into even more hideous monsters. It also took them a long time to perfect their beauty as well. They sleep in coffins as well and came out only at the night time.
Why was the alien vampire different from the regular vampires? Great, now I'm into paranormal like Dib. Zim better be the vampire piggy hunter like in the game. If Zim was a vampire, he'd better explain some differences from me before he turns to pixie dust.
Through the rest of the class, even lunch, I haven't seen Zim.
As I arrived home, dad was there.
"Hey dad, can I go to the game store and get a game?"
"Sure, remember though, it's dangerous out there!"
"I know, I'll be fine."
After skool the next day, I went to the bus to drive to the next town. I hope there is a new game coming up. I can't wait to play them!
