Zim curled up in the Dib's nest, his claws sheathing and unsheathing in the sheets as he kneaded the soft fabric. 

A low vibrating could be heard from deep in his throat as his long antenni twitched and tapped the Dib's pillows. 

Extending his legs, Zim stretched, his boots splitting into his individual claws, before rolling back up into a ball and watching the door. The Dib had started going to a work job after school, and had begun spending less time with Zim. It made him angry. He would show the Dib.

When the door could be heard opening from downstairs Zim Zipped under the Dib's bed to await his rival. It took several more minutes of the Dib walking around downstairs before he finally walked into his room. 

Opening the door and flipping on the lights the first thing Dib noticed was his bed. He'd left it made this morning, but all the sheets appeared to be thrown around and his pillows moved. Glancing around his room he noticed several things from his closet having been messed around the door left ajar 

Closing his door behind him and locking it, Dib slipped off his dark trenchcoat and hung it on his hook. He'd already taken his shoes off at the front door. Dib glanced around again, taking slow nervous steps towards the closet opening it the rest of the way. 

Looking inside he found that only his laundry hamper had been knocked over and a few shirts were pulled off his hangers, none of his personal or valuable items appeared to be missing, especially as his very expensive camera had been left in the open and untouched.

Glancing back at his bed, he wondered if his sister had just come in to look for something, as it wasn't that uncommon for the two to borrow things from one another.

Satisfied with the idea, but still annoyed that she'd messed up his room he opened his door to yell at her down the stairs before re closing and locking his door.

Plopping himself down on his bed Dib pulled out his phone and began scrolling through his Me-Tube for any new paranormal activity he might be able to check out.

Zim watched eagerly as the Dib paced around his room. He'd appeared to notice Zim's mess but failed to spot the perpetrator. Eventually the Dib must have thought it was his Gaz sister as he yelled at her for leaving messes when she looked for things, but afterwards he gave up and laid in the bed above Zim.

It made the alien purr to think that the Dib was above him. But that was a mistake.

Dib paused as he heard a strange noise. He was used to picking up on small noises, as it was important when entering Zim's base, the alien's footsteps completely silent as he was small and light.

Looking around he tried to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. 

It was a soft thrumming sound, almost like perhaps a cat's purr, or a piece of fabric caught in the wind. 

He glanced at the window, the sound wasn't coming from there, it was in his room. Sliding his feet off the bed the sound stopped instantly.

Pulling his feet back into the bed, he waited for the sound to start again, but it didn't.

Hopping off and going to his closet, he tried to see if he could spot anything that could be making such a noise, but ultimately found nothing.

Looking back at his room he realized that only his bed had been disrupted aside from the closet. 

Standing next to his bed he looked down to the gap between the floor and his mattress. 

Zim's heart began to race as Dib stood next to the bed.
