Chapter 2
I learned real quick that life could fuck you over in a heartbeat…but I also
learned it could bless you just as easily. I know this because I met
Imam…Riddick…they were both a blessing and a curse in disguise. One minute he
was there…the next he was gone…it’s been five years since I laid eyes on him.
Bet he hasn’t changed a bit…but I have……
Kyra twirled her fighting sticks with expert precision against her unseen
opponent. Four in the morning was early, too early for Imam, but he could hear
her every morning in her makeshift gym working out every…single…morning. Like
clockwork she would arise at four, warm up, work out, take her shower and head
to school by eight. Around three in the afternoon she’d arrive home and fix a
small bite to eat, do her homework…then…do some more working out. Young Kyra…he
sighed gravely. Just to watch her daily routine was exhausted he could hardly
fathom actually going through it. Although, he was very proud of her, she grew
into a beautifully smart young woman. Even if she had the best make up artist
she could not pass as a boy now. That was another thought that frightened Imam…men.
It was no secret that men found her attractive and she always blushed at
compliments and played them off as jokes and went on about her business. This both calmed and alarmed Imam.
“Hey…” Kyra greeted as she entered the kitchen. She went strait for the fridge
to get a cold bottle of water and drain half of it before she faced him. “That
was a good workout,” she admitted sitting across from him at the bar. “So when
do you head out to Helion 5?” she asked trying to hide the disappointment from
her voice.
Imam sighed silently, “Later in the morning.” He watched her carefully as she
played with the label on the water bottle. He knew she wasn’t crazy about him
going but she also understood he needed time away as well. “Kyra…”
“…I know…” she interrupted helplessly. “…I’m not mad or angry
or…anything…just…I don’t know.” She couldn’t express what she felt. “I know you
need time to yourself and I respect that…” she started carefully. “…doesn’t
mean I have to like it.” She cracked a smile cutting her eyes at him while
still fiddling with the bottle. It wasn’t the first time Imam left her alone
but certainly wasn’t a habit of his. The first time she was sixteen and he was
only gone two days but this time he would be gone a full seven days, a week!
She wasn’t scared to alone…she was scared of what stupid stunts she would pull
while he was away. She laughed silently to herself at the image of Imam coming
home to find the house remolded into a mini-gym. She was a workoutaholic.
“Are you sure you will be fine by yourself?” he asked taking her from her
thoughts.
She looked up at him and tilted her head with a raised eyebrow, “Imam…I’ll be
just fine I’m not a little kid anymore I can take care of myself.”
“I know…that is what worries me,” he agreed hesitantly.
She giggled and ripped the rest of the wrapper off the bottle and tossed it
into the trash. “So what exactly are you doing on this little retreat? Is it
one of your holy retreats?” she asked genuinely curious.
He nodded, “Yes, there are a group of us that will head into the mountains of Kusba.”
Her eyes widened, “Really? That’s cool, I’ve read about the mountains of Kusba…supposed to make anyone feel like their touching God
himself. Have you ever been?”
“Once, but it has been many years, since before we met,” he remembered fondly.
She smiled at the look of contentment on his face. If he were to go and die
on those mountains he’d die a happy man she thought sadly. Where would that
leave me she wondered. The legal age of Helion Prime
was seventeen. Did that mean she would inherit Imam’s home? Would they drive
her away? Most importantly…would Riddick come to pay his respects? She shook
herself mentally at the sad thoughts and brought herself back into the
conversation at hand. Imam described the mountains and scenery to her. It
sounded like Ireland
or Scotland of Earth. Vast mountain sides with
enormous lakes and rivers. It sounded peaceful…beautiful…like a fairytale.
“It really sounds like a beautiful place,” she murmured quietly lost in
thought. What was she gonna do with her spare time? Without Imam around to talk
too she didn’t have much else to do. She really didn’t have much of a social
life. Not one of a typical seventeen year old. Sure she had girlfriends
but…they were into other things.
I wish Riddick were here…she closed her eyes to visualize him.
Tall…handsome…all muscle and the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. The
shine job only magnified what was already there. You could tell a lot about a
person from their eyes…Riddick’s always held a story. His eyes were the only
reason she knew he cared. For the longest time she thought he did abandon her.
What do you expect a twelve year old to think when the one thing they care
about leaves them behind? It took her a long time to realize Riddick had
legitimate reasons for leaving. He had mercs on his neck and he would always
have mercs on his neck. He didn’t want Imam or her being caught in the
crossfire. It was the memory of his eyes when he left that helped her realize
that. It’s why Riddick was the way he was. The only way he could show her at
the time he cared…was to leave her. As long as she wasn’t in the equation…she
wouldn’t be a factor. Not once in five years did anyone question her or Imam
about Riddick. Good, that’s the way they liked it.
She looked out the window into the rising sun and stared. Something was about
to happen…she didn’t know what exactly…but she felt an achy feeling in the pit
of her stomach.
Riddick…
