Master, Please....

A/N: I wrote this chapter before I read your story, Sweetchaos. Just to let you know that I didn't steal your ideas. ^__^

Dib returned some time later to find Zim barely conscious from the pain, staring off into space. Dib had been slightly regretting treating the alien so badly. He was also curious about his sudden change in attitude.

He walked over to the alien, who glanced away from him. He sharply jerked the shorter antenna, causing Zim to cry out. “Look at me.”

Zim fearfully looked up at Dib, trembling slightly.

“Why are you here? I still think this is some trick,” Dib asked. Zim sighed and glanced away, causing Dib to yank on his antenna again. “Answer me.”

“I give up. You win. I never will and I realize that, so you can have your filthy ball of dirt. Just…” Zim paused.

“Continue.” Another sharp yank on the antenna had Zim crying again.

“Please kill me,” asked Zim, starting to cry out loud.

Dib jumped back in surprise. “You surrendered to me… to basically commit suicide?” Seeing Zim nod, he laughed. “Oh no, it’s not going to be that easy.”

Zim looked at him fearfully. Dib leaned over into his face. “You’re going to suffer, like you’ve made me suffer. If you obey me, I might go easy on you.” He grinned manically. “You’re mine now Zim.”

Zim winced, and looked away, before quickly remembering to look back at Dib.

Dib left the room, and returned with a thick black collar. He gently attached it around Zim’s neck, and then tightened it until it was snug around his neck. “This is a special little collar. Want a demonstration?”

Zim just looked scared.

Dib laughed, then pulled a controller out of the pocket and pressed a button.

Immediately, Zim started screaming loudly, his body convulsing slightly. Dib released the button, and Zim continued to scream for a couple seconds, before calming down slightly.

Dib reached over and hit a button on the back of the collar, getting the same reaction. Once Zim had calmed down enough, Dib hit a switch on the side of the table, releasing Zim. He hauled him up by the collar and glared into his face. “You disobey me, and this is what happens. Understand?”

“Yy..es,” stammered Zim.

Dib released Zim, dropping him to the floor. He walked out of the room, motioning for Zim to follow him.

Zim pulled himself up, then started to follow Dib. When he caught up to Dib, Dib suddenly whipped around and shoved Zim to the floor. Zim stared up in shock.

“What did Zim do?!?”

Dib smirked cruelly at him. “Crawl.”
