I answered a similar ask here, she is not a fan at first, but at least she is okay with these two

(@lythecreatorart for the Hell seeks thing)

It was just an odd thing. To be in an actual home after all that time. At least that was what Zes thought that place was. She was only ten years old, but she didn't expect to be here still. The fire at the orphanage was where she figured that was it.

There wasn't any regret about what she did. Honestly, she suspected Seeker was the solution a lot of the kids were saving their money for. It said a lot that kids needed to save money just to kill the priest at the orphanage.

She just moved up the plans by doing it herself. Not like the guy left her any choice.

Even then, she was pulled from the fire to something new. He even made her clothes that were not burned or covered in blood.

The demon thing just takes some getting used to. Doubt they realize I can tell.

"Hey, you ready to talk more yet? I made breakfast." Seeker did knock first, at least. This was just a spare room after all. She had to remember that.

Zes sighed. "Still don't know why you bother."

All she got was a pat on the head and the warmest smile she's seen. This is the same unhinged man who's tied to a demon and kills people for money.

"It's not like I could have left you, kid. Even though you stole my kill." She didn't understand if he was upset about that or not.

She's really never known anyone who's that warm, actual. Not since her brother. "So what are we doing today?"

"Well, first breakfast. Then I gotta see if we can get you something else to wear." She could almost tell the shadow that's always with him was doing things.

Was he actually going to spend money on me? I don't get it. I cost him money.

He reached out his hand. For that moment, she actually thought this might be where things could be ok. "You look like you're overthinking. Just take my hand. Nothing is gonna hurt you when you're with me, kid."

I actually want to believe that.

She sighed as she grabbed it. "Ok, but I have one question?"

"What is it, kid?" Seeker asked.

"Is the demon with you just gonna stay with you, or should I just take them later?"

That question almost made Seeker topple over, wheezing. She could tell the demon was always around him. It just formed almost like a shadow. Suppose that was a skill that would have been useful if a church wanted her.

Not like she would trust the church or the system ever again.

(5 years later.)

Zes wakes from the dream with almost a sad nostalgia. The empty pit in her stomach was still there. At least it was a dream about better times. The fox was asleep at the foot of her bed.

Her own demon that she made a deal with. He was great at helping her still keep this place since what happened with her dad.

I still don't know if I should be mad or just sad. I said I was gonna find a way to see him again. Even if it meant going to hell early. Knelt has already made things a little harder since I have to live a full life with our deal. Not like I would be in heaven anyway.

"I miss you every day, Dad." She whispered to the photo she had on her dresser. She wanted to be mad that he died when he promised things would be ok. Just...she would like him back more than anything else.

You know back when I made my Tumblr it was on a whim. Despite all that Miyuki taught me she really sucked at hiding when things were going wrong. And yeah, they went wrong a lot. There was always this kind of pressure. I had it, she had it a lot more but I didn't really feel like I could relax like I wanted to. Wait, I got a better way to describe it. I got the camera working.

See, No resting Bitch face lol. Things have been a lot better. I have what I always been looking for. I mean it would have sucked if I never got on Tumblr, but I probably would have been stressed and the same old same old....

Everything hurt so much...

Gaz could only sit there in her pain as her blood pooled. It should have been like how most of the time they dealt with Aliens. Just find those twins and get out while destroying whatever they could in the process. Not like their dad believed in this stuff to help.

All of it was a trap. That yellow-eyed Irken had it all planned and they were only used to make them suffer. Dib was dead, Zim was dead, and Zes was too broken to even help anymore.

I knew something was off...guess I messed up.

Gaz opened her eyes slightly as she noticed she was being carried. Zes still looked broken down but she was still trying to do everything again. “I...I’m..I’m getting you out Gaz..”

She wanted to slap her but couldn't argue. She just wondered if Zes was going to tell everyone back home how she and Dib died.

Maybe she was right. Zes always did say she would have been so much happier being a different species.

She was about to say something when they heard the firing of something like a laser. Zes quickly tossed Gaz. The only thing Gaz could see was Zes's defeated expression as her body burned. The sounds were so muffled. The only thing left was the Pak that fell to the floor.

It sucked so much to not even be able to fight back with her end. All she could see were those horrible yellow Irken eyes getting closer before blue was clashing with it. Guess she could live with the fact that yellow bitch was gonna die for what was done to them.

"Guess...I'll..tell Dib how the fight was.." Gaz was just about content to close her eyes to join her brother at that moment. Then a sharp pain in her back came and all she knew was darkness.

(Zes side)

Zes tied her jacket to try to at least slow down the bleeding from Gaz’s side. The cut was deep but she didn’t die., not like how Dib did. Everything was a nightmare since they were caught in Sycorax’s trap. Her brother’s death, along with everything that came with it.

No time for all that. Gaz needs to be home. I have to get her out of here.

“Zes...we came to get you guys..”

Zes’s antenna drooped hearing how soft Gaz sounded. Human health wasn’t something she knew about. “I...know. Zim’s gone too. We’re getting out of here.”

If anything the membran’s coming allowed her to get her mind back where it should be out of that computer. If anything, the desperation to save her only friend let her scoop up whatever sanity she still had left.

I’m not losing again. My life belonged to Zim...but now I’ll keep Gaz alive. I’m not failing again.

As she ran through the corridors, carrying Gaz there was finally the ship. It was Tak’s ship that Dib had, but it would have to do. Not like she doesn’t know how to pilot Irken's controls.

Before she knew it, Zes felt something burning within her. Out of instinct, she threw Gaz from her arms. That probably didn’t help the girl's injury. It was a good idea considering the burning gathered flames all around her body.

NO! NONONO! I can’t even do this one thing right.

“Zes…” Gaz called out weakly trying to reach for the Irken.

The pain she felt in her entire body wasn’t anything compared to what she felt leaving Gaz to die. “I’m sorry..”

Zes didn’t even scream as everything turned black.

000000

When Gaz woke up it was in a ship she didn’t recognize. Her side hurt still, but hurt was better than being dead. It took a moment for her to remember what happened. She wanted to react to it. The boys were important to her. So was her best friend.

Though she didn’t know if this was a safe place to even do all that.

What am I going to tell Dad?

“Oh, your awake.” A guy that looked like a goat came to the room she was resting in. Gaz remembered Zes calling them Vortains. “You were nearly dead when our scouts found you.”

She sighed. “Sounds about right.”

Why is he staring at me? Also, why does my back hurt as well?

“Well, I’m glad you survived. It is not every day we see a human. Especially when you got one of those on you.” The vortain just gave her a mirror when she gave a confused expression.

Right there she finally saw herself. Gaz expected to look exhausted a bit. She was almost killed on that ship after all. Though her gaze was on her back.

Right, there was a pink Irken Pak. From experience, she knew that wasn’t Zim. The scorch marks were a dead giveaway. Gaz closed her eyes and focused. Right there, the energy was barely detectable but Zes’s presence was still there.

It’s like she’s asleep or comatose. That dumbass. Still trying to do everything.

The vortain just gave her a moment. “The Pak was probably the only thing keeping you alive Ironicly. Your body may have become dependent on it a bit. Still, we’re looking for a solution.”

“I don’t need one. Just give me a bit ok.” Gaz just sat there hiding her gaze.

The vortain just sighed but nodded at her request. “Ok, I’ll leave you to rest for a bit. It’s a lot to process considering you just woke up. If you need anything just call for Nar. That’s me.”
