LAST TIME:

Riddick and Elijah watched in fascination as the
creature devoured Johns� body in the darkness.
Riddick looked down to see Elijah grinning.

�Come on. We got a group of crash survivors to catch up to.� Riddick said.

Elijah tore his eyes away from
Johns and smiled up at Riddick. �That
was exciting.� He whispered.

Riddick laughed quietly as they
walked away.

Chapter Six

Fry, Imam, Rashad, and Jack ran through
the darkness as the shotgun blasts fired like lightning behind them. The group was trying to backtrack along the
sled marks to get back to the crashed ship. Fry glanced back behind her to see
if they were being followed and smashed into something solid.

�Back to the ship, huh?� Riddick asked. He and Elijah had been waiting for them.

�Move.� Fry said breathlessly.

Riddick stayed where he was, blocking their path
along the sled tracks. �So everybody
huddles together till the lights go out?
That the big plan?�

�Where�s Johns?� Fry asked.

�Which half?� Elijah asked coming
up to stand next to Riddick. Elijah had
a huge manic smile on his face.

In the dull light, Riddick and
Elijah saw Jack pale slightly.

They all looked back to where
they�d last seen Johns. �Gonna loose
everybody out here.� Jack whispered
loudly. Her eyes swelled with tears.

�He died fast.� Riddick snapped. �Ad if we got any choice, that�s the way we should all go.� He started walking towards the canyon. As he passed by Jack he spoke softly. �Don�t you cry for Johns�don�t you dare.�

Elijah turned on his light and then
Riddick�s when he caught up. Jack fell into step behind them. After a few seconds Fry, Imam, and Rashad
followed them.

With Riddick and Elijah leading and
Imam and Rashad pulling the sled, they reached the entrance to the canyon
quickly. Without his goggles on,
Riddick could see the horror that was waiting for them. He stopped walking.

(Fuck. They�re everywhere Riddick.)
Elijah said.

(Just don�t worry about it.) Riddick replied looking over at him.

Elijah raised his eyebrows slightly. (What are you kidding me?) He asked incredulously.

Riddick smirked and looked out over
the canyon again. His jaguar like eyes recognized
the wing shapes perched everywhere like gargoyles on a desolate cathedral.

The creatures were constantly
moving, skull-blades clashing as they fought and fed with savage cruelty.

Riddick glanced at Elijah again and
then moved forward. The rest of the
survivors followed, weary faces reflecting their stark dread at what lay
ahead. Only Riddick and Elijah seemed
unafraid.

�How many are there?� Fry asked.

Riddick winked at Elijah. �Only one or two.�

They bought it.

�Jack? How many bottles left?�

Jack counted.
�Three full ones, but it�s just about time to refill.�

It wasn�t enough to make it back to
the crash ship with, so the only other choice was to move forward. Fry looked at Riddick. It was his call.

�Only see one way.� Elijah said.

�Lose the sled�it�ll only slow us
down. Keep the girl in the middle at
all times.� Riddick looked around. �Light up everything we got and run like
your ass is on fire.� He gestured to
Rashad and Imam and they got to work unhooking themselves from the sled.

�And what about the cells?� Fry countered. �How are we gonna get them to the ship?�

�We�ll take those.� Elijah said.

Fry calculated the
possibilities. None of them were good.

Riddick had eliminated his
captor. The witnesses had to be next.

�We�re just here to carry you�re
light aren�t we?� Fry asked, voice
filled with contempt.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Riddick�s POV

I smirked slightly when Fry said
that. She doesn�t know the half of
it. Elijah and I have the cells now,
the others are just gonna slow us down.
Shoulda let them keep the sled, but I�m not gonna change my mind now.

I walked away from Fry without
answering and went over to where Elijah was standing. He was staring at something behind me so I turned around to
look. He was watching Fry. She had dropped down to her knees to refill
her torch flame. With just the pilot
light burning, she never saw the large shadow coming up behind her.

�One down.� Elijah said softly.

I grinned. The creature spread its taloned wings,
preparing to strike.

Abruptly, the torch flared to life
and the creature screeched and shank back away from Fry. She stood quickly and took a several
stumbled steps back. The others looked
up startled at the noise.

�Damn.� Elijah said crossing his arms over his chest, his mouth forming a
small pout.

I grinned at my mate. I looked up in time to see Fry striding over
toward us.

Folding my arms over my chest, I
waited till she got to us to speak.
�Close call Carolyn.�

�You both were just going to WATCH
weren�t you?� Fry growled quietly.

Why lie to the woman? �Yes.
It would have been one less to slow the group down.� I said smirking slightly.

�And you�re going to leave us here
to die.� Fry said looking from me to
Elijah. Everyone�s attention was on the
three of us but they were too far to hear our conversation.

�It�s crossed my mind.� I said.

I tracked her left arm as it moved
quickly taking out a knife from her belt.
She brought it up and made to stab me.
Elijah�s tail shot out and wrapped itself tightly around her wrist. THAT�S gonna leave a nice bruise.

Elijah took the knife away and
threw it hard into the darkness. We
heard a screech as the knife hit one of the creatures.

�Maybe you ought to rethink that
decision.� Elijah said releasing her
arm. �Now, fuck off before I rethink
the one I just made about letting you live.�

Fry backed off rubbing her wrist
and went to stand with the others.

�Little bitch.� Elijah growled wrapping his tail back around
his waist. He turned to face me. �She was going to stab you.� He stated.

�I know.�

�You wouldn�t have let her,
right?� Elijah asked, his voice laced
with uncertainty.

�We�ve come this far, Cat. You think I�d let someone stab me?� I smiled slightly. �Besides, I knew you�d stop her.
And if you missed, I would have done it myself. I just wanted them to know that we�re a team
so they don�t get any funny ideas. So
no worries, huh?�

Elijah took a breath and then
smiled back at me. �No worries.� He got
serious suddenly. �But Riddick�she
won�t live the next time. She makes
another go�for either of us�and I�m ghostin� her. Deal?� He stuck out his
right hand.

I didn�t even stop to think about
it. What Elijah says goes. I just reached out my own right hand and
took his. �Deal.�

His eyes flashed happily. �Seal it.�
He whispered excitedly.

I chuckled softly and kissed
him. It was slow and passionate and
full of promises I intended to keep.

We were aware of the others
watching us as we broke apart.

�Sealed.� I said.

He grinned.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We regrouped in the boneyard at the
mouth of the canyon.

I used the loading straps to rig a
body harness to drag two cells. Elijah
did the same.

I was so absorbed in my task that I forgot where I
was for a moment. When I stood up to
admire my work, I was face-to-face with a predator. I jerked back quickly, pulling out a shiv as I went. When it didn�t move I realized it was
already dead. �Long gone.� I mused out loud. I felt something silky slither around my left bicep�a tail. I looked over at Elijah.

�Your pulse skyrocketed so I came
over to calm you down.� He explained.

He�s right. My heart is going a
mile a minute. But, I can feel my
heartbeat slowing down from the soothing emotions he�s sending through the
bond.

I returned my attention back to the
dead alien and inspected the fossilized skull.
The remnant was propped up by the other bones, making it seem like it
was on display. Its hammer head was
crowned by a large bone blade. Below it
dangled a reptilian spine as if the blade was linked directly to the nervous
system rather than to the brain. �Pure
killer instinct.� I said.

Elijah noticed something about the
creature�s bones. �Look.� He reached out with his left hand and
touched the skull.

I stared at the bones again. Twin echo-location sensors positioned behind
the eye sockets on each side of the skull.
I studied the echo sensors a moment longer before I understood.

�Blind spot.� I whispered.

If I stood directly in front of the
creature�nose to nose�I couldn�t be �seen� by its echo locators. �Nice theory, but I�d hate to test it.�

�May I bless you?�

Elijah and I turned to see Imam looking at us.

The monk smiled. �I�ve blessed the others. It�s quite painless.�

�It�s pointless.� Elijah pointed out, unwrapping his tail from
my arm and letting it drop bonelessly to the ground.

�Exactly.� I agreed, folding my arms over my chest.

Imam looked at Elijah. �Do the Elvin people not have a God that
they believe in?�

Elijah tilted his head to the
left. �They do. But the Valar has already blessed me
once. I don�t need to be blessed again. Ever.�

I know he didn�t mean that last
part. He wants us to have a kid or
two. He�ll be praying every night until
he gets pregnant. He just doesn�t want
Imam to know that.

Imam turned his attention to me
realizing Elijah was gonna be hopeless.
He�s not gonna get to far with me either.

�Well even if you don�t believe in
God, it doesn�t mean He doesn�t believe��

Imam trailed off when he saw the
look I was giving him. �You think
someone could spend time in a slam with a horse bit in their mouth and not
believe? You think he can start out in
some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord around his neck and then
wind up a Company Enforcer and not BELIEVE?�
I asked harshly.

I jabbed my finger in Imam�s chest. �I absolutely believe in God. And I ABSOLUTELY hate the fucker.�

�He will be with us nonetheless,
Riddick.�

�Two of your boys are already
dead. How much faith do you have left,
Father?� I said slipping into my harness.
Beside me, Elijah did the same.
�Give our blessings to Jack.� I
paused looking off into the darkness.
�It�s time to go.�

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They saddled up slowly, torches
burning brightly as they sucked down O2 for the final run.

In front of Elijah and I, Imam and
Fry took the head positions with Jack and Rashad behind them. The front four each held a bottle with a
burning wick inside. While Elijah and I still had our handlight strapped to our
backs. It was the last of the light our
little parade had. And I could tell
right now, that our light would last the longest.

I looked to my right at
Elijah. �Ready?�

He nodded.

�As fast as you can!� I shouted to
the others.

Fry looked back at us. �Are you sure you guys can keep��

�MOVE!� I interrupted. They began running.

There was no going back now.

Immediately, predators began
launching themselves down from the rim.
First came the hatchlings streaming right into our faces and then
veering aside at the last moment, repulsed by the light.

Next came the sounds of fighting
and feeding that filled the darkness overhead.
Suddenly, thick blue liquid spattered down on us as we ran through the
hellish nightmare.

�Don�t look up!� I shouted hoarsely.

More blue liquid showered down on
us carrying the unmistakable stench of blood.

In front of us, I saw Fry glance up
into the sky.

�Don�t look! Keep going!� I yelled at her.

Fry dropped her head back down and ran faster. More blood dropped down from the creatures
above followed by oozing chunks of intestines and other organs as the creatures
killed each other.

I could barely make out Imam�s
voice saying a prayer.

Beside me I heard Elijah snort
softly.

Unexpectedly, whole corpses were
crashing down all around us. We had to
veer around the bodies like we were on an obstacle course. Up ahead, I saw Rashad stumble slightly and
drop his bottle after he cut his leg on one of the fallen creature�s
talon. I glanced down at the broken
bottle when we passed it.

(That�s just what we need
now�someone else bleeding.) Elijah
sent.

(Nothing we can do. Just keep an extra eye open.) I replied.

�Riddick!� Fry screamed.

�WHAT?� I looked ahead to see that they were slowing down. The canyon was narrowed into a choke point
and the dead creatures were blocking the way.

�What is it?� Jack yelled, alerted by Fry�s panic.

�It�s a fucking staircase!� Elijah yelled. �GO OVER IT!�

Elijah and I reached them and
started climbing first. I glanced back
quickly to see Jack coming next followed by Fry. Down at the bottom I saw Imam and Rashad wrestling with the
creature that had a good hold on Rashad�s cut leg. I saw Fry go back down to help them. The creature let go when Fry burned it with her torch. Fry started climbing again while Imam bound
Rashad�s leg quickly with a piece of torn cloth.

I turned back around and kept
going. We all made it over.

�Riddick, wait!� Jack called.

She called my name again, but I
didn�t stop.

Suddenly I heard a screech and then
a crash as something hit the ground.
Elijah and I stopped and turned back around when we heard Jack
scream.

She was trapped under one of the
skeletons with creatures banging its
skull trying to break through the bone to get to her. She was trapped. I looked
back at Elijah.

We heard Fry screaming at the
creature to get off. I looked back and
saw her waving her torch at the alien.
It wasn�t working.

�It�s your call Elijah.� I said to him.

He looked at me and then at Jack. �Go.�

I slipped out of my harness and
started making my way towards Jack. The creature jumped at me with its clawed
arms stretched out. I grabbed each arm
and struggled with the beast. With its
arms held captive in my hands the alien snapped it�s large jaws at me.

(Elijah.) I said forcefully.

(Coming.)

Suddenly Elijah was crouched in
between us with his shiv in hand. In
one smooth move he sliced the creatures belly open spilling out its organs. I
let go when the creature went limp in my grasp. It fell to the ground dead.

Gasping for breath I helped Elijah
up and we turned to look at the others.
They were gaping at us, pale faces reflecting their stunned
disbelief. I shrugged and bent back down
to twist the alien�s head sharply, breaking its neck for good measure. �Did not know who it was fuckin� with.�

I looked back up.
Fry was holding a shaking Jack and Imam had a tight grip on Rashad�s
right arm.

�Come on.� Elijah said to me.

We got back in our harnesses and started
moving again; the others following behind us.
I looked back again to see that they were helping Rashad up off the
ground where he had fallen. (We�re
better off losing that one.) I pointed
out to Elijah. I turned back around
when they started pulling him along.

(Oh, you have GOT to be kidding
me.) Elijah said dryly.

�What?� I asked aloud. Then I felt it. A drop on my nose. I
touched it and then looked at my finger.
Not blood. Suddenly more drops
came down. No, definitely not
blood. �Rain.� I said softly.

Elijah and I stopped walking. I looked at him with a grin on my face. I started laughing. I turned around to look at Imam. �So where the Hell�s your God now?�

Jack and Fry moved against the side
of the cliff and covered the flame with their hands to try and keep the rain
from hitting it. They had the only fire
left since Imam�s had run out of alcohol only a moment before the rain. Imam crouched at Rashad�s feet and started
wrapping another piece of torn cloth around Rashad�s cut leg. It was worse than
before. I turned back around and looked
out ahead of us.

�Riddick? Are we close?� I heard
Fry ask.

I didn�t answer though. Something else had caught my attention. Elijah had blood seeping through the bottom
of his white tank. �You�re bleeding.� I
stated.

He looked sharply at me and then
followed my gaze. �Fuck.� Quickly, Elijah lifted his shirt to
look. He had a nice long gash on the left
side of his lower stomach.

He looked back up at me and shook
his head. �I didn�t know.� He moved his tail up from his waist and
wrapped it tightly around his belly, covering the cut. �Maybe when you dropped the creature earlier
it cut me.�

I nodded slightly, but I was still
worried. I needed to get Elijah off
this rock now more than ever.

With the cut securely covered, I
looked back out in front of us.

�Just tell me the settlement is
right there.� Fry�s desperate voice cut
through my thoughts.

Again, I ignored her. I need to get Elijah safely into the
skiff. I can�t do that if the others
are gonna slow us down. I came to a
decision. I had to get rid of the
others.

�We can�t make it.�
I told Fry.

Suddenly I heard Imam cry out.

Elijah and I turned quickly around
to look. Rashad was being pulled up along
the cliff by a creature. Well, that�s
one taken care of.

�No!� Imam yelled pounding his hands against the rock.

Fry wrapped her right arm around Jack�s shoulders
and they sagged against the wall.

I looked around and then let go of
the cells. Walking over to the group I
prodded them up. I gripped Jack�s hand
and pulled her to a cave like crevice in the canyon wall. �Here!�
I shouted waving at Imam and Fry.
�Hide here!�

Imam slowly came to his senses and
half-carried Fry to the cave as the clicking hordes circled overhead.

�Inside!� I hissed, pushing Imam in after Fry. As they crawled into the narrow space, the second torch died
out. They only had one torch left.

When the three of them were inside I pushed a nearby
rock into the hole, blocking them inside.
Now that there�s no one slowing us down I can get Elijah safely to the
skiff and we can get out of here.

XXXXXXXXXX

The mud made it difficult to walk
through. Especially while pulling
something heavy. Every few feet we slid
on the rain-soaked ground, the heavy cells pulling us down like an anchor. Finally we made it to the crest of the
hill. I expected another obstacle to
stand between us and safety, but as I peered through the hard rain I saw
nothing that would get in our way.

The settlement was deserted. There were no creatures around; nothing to
stop us from leaving. All we needed to
do was get down the hill.

It didn�t take long to reach the
skiff. Behind us predators came out of
nowhere and followed every step of the way, hovering just beyond the faint
circle of light as Elijah and I boarded the skiff.

We got the cells in place and
turned the skiff on and shut the hatch.
As the skiff came to life the creatures that had been hammering on the
outside of the vessel moved away.

�Free at last.� Elijah said.

I grinned and closed the skiff
door.

We didn�t speak as we ran a
pre-flight integrity check. But as my
fingers ran over the instruments, my mind kept going back to the people we�d
left in the canyon.

�Don�t be sucked in Riddick. Good intentions kill faster than
bullets.� Elijah said looking at me.

I nodded. He was right of course.
�I just thought you wanted to take Jack with us.�

He sighed.
�I did�still do.� Elijah shook
his head. �But we�re here now and it�s
not like we could keep her�I just wanted to get her off this rock and then send
her on her way. She wouldn�t want that
of course, but it�s best for her not to be around us.�

�I can go back if you want.�

Elijah was silent for a
moment. �No.� I could tell that decision was hard to make.

I nodded and then very
deliberately, smashed our hand lights against the hull. �Let�s get out of here then.�

I fiddled with the flight controls
before rolling the skiff to the runway.
For some reason I took my time.
I kept peering out into the rain-soaked darkness�as if expecting
someone. I sat in the flight chair and
checked the computer for the fourth time.
I could feel Elijah�s eyes on me as I had an internal battle with
myself.

((Every time you get noble, you get
royally fucked.)) I reminded
myself. I looked over at Elijah. �What the fuck is wrong with me?�

�You have a heart Riddick. Don�t beat yourself up over this.� Elijah reasoned. �If you want to go back��

�No.� I cut him off softly.
�Let�s get out of here.� After
coming to this decision I strapped my self in and turned around to face the
windshield. My eyes widened when I saw
Fry standing in front of the skiff holding up a blue glowing bottle.

�Well, well.� Elijah said. We unstrapped and went to open the hatch door.

We waited at the opening until Fry
came around to the back.

She stood there, her chest heaving
as she struggled to get her breathing under control. I could tell it was hard for her since we ditched the breathers a
while back when they ran out of O2.
Elijah and I were ok though since we had already gotten use to the
sparse air by then.

�Strong survival instinct. I admire that in a woman.� I said grinning.

�You�re�not�leaving.� She said, her breath slowing down. �Not until�we go back for�the others.�

I snorted.

�I promised them we�d�go back with
more light.� She called, moving to
stand at the bottom of the ramp. �And
that�s exactly what we are going to do!�

I looked at her for a moment before
I spoke. �Think you�ve mistaken me for
somebody that gives a fuck.� I said
harshly. She doesn�t need to know that
I was just thinking about going back to get them.

�What, are you afraid?� Fry jeered.
She stood there swaying in the rain.

�I think you are confusing him with Johns now.� Elijah corrected with a sly smile. �Fear was HIS monkey. All that stuff in between? Some shad of gray we can�t see.�

Fry sneered at Elijah and then
turned back to me. �I trusted the both
of you!� Fry yelled. �Goddamn, I
trusted that some part of you wanted to rejoin the human race.�

My face remained impassive. �Truthfully, Fry?� I said quietly. �I don�t think we�d know how.�

Fry�s hands dropped to her sides. �Then wait for me! I�ll go back myself. Just
give me more light for them.�

�Ok.� I said shrugging and tossed
her my broken handlight.

She caught it and then stared at it
in her hand. Fry tossed it aside when
she saw that it was broken. �Just come
with me.� She pleaded.

�I�ve got a better idea Fry. Come with ME.� Elijah said. I looked at
him. (What are you doing?)

(Just seeing how much will she�s
got left in her.) He replied.

I rolled my eyes.

�You�re fuckin� with me, I know you
are.� Fry said softly.

�You know I am? You don�t know anything about me. We will leave you behind.� Elijah said.

�I�I can�t.� Fry said falling to her knees.

�Sure you can. Come on�give me your hand.� I said walking
down the ramp to her. I reached out my
right hand. She looked up at me when it came into her sight.

�No one�s gonna blame you
Fry.� Elijah said soothingly.

Slowly Fry reached out and I pulled
her to her feet. She took small steps
forward towards where Elijah was standing in the entrance.

Suddenly she stopped and swayed slightly. I thought she was gonna fall but she kept
her balance. I turned around to stare
out into the darkness when I heard movement.
The creatures were starting to close in.

�Just a few more steps Fry. You can do it.� I heard Elijah say softly.

I turned back around sharply when
Fry screamed. She slammed into my body
and knocked me down. We landed at the
end of the ramp with her on top. She
pulled a knife out of her boot and held it against my throat.

�Now you�you listen to me! I am the captain of this ship�and I
will NOT give up on them!� She shouted,
gasping for breath. �I am not gonna
leave any of them behind on this rock with those things�even if it means
killing you and Elijah and going back by myself then so be it. Now you WILL help me or I WILL slit both
yours and Elijah�s��

She didn�t get to finish as
Elijah�s body connected with hers and knocked her off me. They landed a few feet away with Elijah
straddling her waist and Fry�s knife in hand.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elijah�s POV

I don�t even know why I�m doing
this to her. I just want to leave this
place. And if it means that she comes
with us�then whatever�

I watch as Riddick walks down the
ramp to help her up. She starts walking
up slowly, step by step and then she stops and sways slightly.

I look out over their heads when I
hear the creatures making noises. I can
see them slowly closing in on us. We
need to hurry this along and get out of here.
�Just a few more steps Fry. You
can do it.� I said softly.

Suddenly Fry cried out and I watched her turn and
tackle Riddick to the ground. I hissed and crouched down at the top of the
ramp. Damn bitch. I KNEW I shoulda killed her earlier. I listened as Fry goes off on some rant about
being the captain until I can�t take it anymore. My blood is singing to kill the one who dared to hold a knife to
my mate�s throat and threaten to slit his throat. With a strong push I sailed off the skiff and rammed into her
body.

We rolled a few feet away from
Riddick. Before we stopped moving I
grabbed the knife from her hand. I
grunted when she pulled out another and sliced my arm. I knocked it out of her hand and then held
the first one at her throat as I straddled her waist.

�GET off!� She said forcefully, as if I would listen.

�FUCK YOU!� I yelled.
When she struggled I nicked her neck.
�I want you to listen good Fry, because this is the last thing you will
most likely ever hear.� I growled out.
When her body stilled I continued.
�After I so GRACELESSLY let you live earlier I made a deal with
Riddick�we agreed that if you did ANYTHING like what just happened that I�d
kill you. And I am absolutely going to
enjoy it.� I grinned maliciously. �There�s just one thing I want to know Fry,
before I slit your throat.�

She stared at me and then looked
over at Riddick with pleading eyes.

I followed her gaze to see Riddick
crouched down in the mud. He stood
slowly and shrugged. �Don�t look at ME
Carolyn. You think I�m gonna help
someone who just held a knife to my throat AND threaten to kill my mate? You
did this to yourself.�

I looked down at her stunned face
and grinned up at Riddick.

�A deal�s a deal Carolyn.� Riddick said to her crossing his arms over
his muscled chest.

I turned back to the matter at hand. �Look at me Carolyn.� I said using her name for the first
time. She turned her blue eyes on me. �Now that you�ve gotten to know Jack and
Imam�I was just wondering how you felt now that you know that you�re gonna die
for them.�

�Please�don�t kill me.� She
whispered.

I shook my head in mock
sadness. �Still a spineless
cowered.� I bent down close. �Say hello to Johns for me.�

Her eyes widened and she opened her
mouth. In one smooth move I slit her throat
spraying blood on my shirt. I watched
the light in her eyes die out and blood bubble out of her mouth. Riddick came over behind me and lifted me up
off Fry�s motionless body. I watched as
he lifted one arm and one leg and then tossed Fry�s body as far as he could out
into the darkness.

�Feel better now?� He asked smirking.

I looked up at him.
�Yes.� I stated simply. �I�ve also had a change heart.�

�Have you now?� He asked amused.

�Yes. We need to go back for Jack and Imam.�

Riddick stared at me for a
moment. �Ok.� He said nodding. Riddick
bent down to pick up the glowing blue bottle that Fry had brought.

I peered inside. �Are those what I think they are?� I asked.

He grinned. �Seems so.�

�Right. Let�s not waste more time.�
I said and started to leave.

�Hold it.� Riddick said and grabbed my right arm.

�What?� I
asked.

Riddick looked pointedly down at my
left arm. �You�re bleeding in two
places now. You�re going to stay here,
get cleaned up, put some stuff on that burn and wait for me. If you come with me you�ll just attract
them. I don�t want to take any
chances.�

I sighed. I know he�s right, but I don�t have to like it. �Fine.�

�That�s my boy.� Riddick said kissing my temple. I flinched slightly when he accidentally put
pressure on the bruise Johns had given me earlier after burning my arm with the
flare.

He guided me back to the
skiff. �Go in there and shut the
hatch. I�ll bang five times when I get
back.�

I and went inside and looked down
the ramp at my mate.

�Close it.� Riddick said.

I nodded and pushed the button.

XXXXXXXXXX

Riddick�s POV

I didn�t need the bottle of
glowworms to see, but I brought it anyway.
Maybe one of them could use it.

I marched back towards the canyon
and flinched slightly every time a predator zoomed past at the edge of the
meager light the bottle let out.

One last pass and I�m clean. I told myself as I moved steadily through
the rain. I paused as my night-vision
eyes picked up a flurried knot of predators.
They were down at the bottom of the hill drinking runoff from the rain
that had formed a huge pool.

I detoured around them and scanned the canyon wall
for familiar landmarks. All I could see
was flat black rock.

XXXXXXXXX

It took me a while but I found the
crevice where I had put the others. I
moved the rock out of the way and looked inside.

The first thing I saw was Jack�s
wide eyes.

�I knew you�d come back.� She stated smiling.

I grinned slightly and then looked at
Imam. �Anyone not ready for this?� I paused for a moment when I heard something
behind me. I looked around, but found
nothing. �Come on.� I handed the bottle of glowworms to Jack
since Imam already had a bottle full.

I moved out of the way so Jack and Imam could get
out of the small cave. I turned and
started walking back. They followed
behind me as quickly as they could in the sliding mud.

I stopped when four creatures
blocked our path. They seemed to
fighting and there wasn�t enough room to go around them. We were gonna have to wait until they made a
path wide enough to get through.

We moved back against the canyon
wall and crouched down low. I grabbed a
hold of Jack�s left hand and when Imam took a hold of Jack�s right one I pulled
them through the gap in between the aliens.
They jumped out of the way of the light the glowworms provided and we
moved quickly through and struggled up the hill.

I pushed Jack and Imam a head of
me. �Bang on the hatch five times. Go! You know the way!� I yelled at them. Imam nodded and took Jack�s hand again. I turned back around when they were out of sight. The four creatures landed in front of me and
started moving in.

I scrambled backwards up the muddy
hill, my feet slipping every step of the way.
When I reached the top, I turned my back and ran as fast as I could
towards the settlement. When I lost the creatures in between some buildings I
breathed a sigh of relief.

(Where the fuck ARE you? Imam and Jack are here and they said you
told them to go on ahead!)

(I�m in the settlement Elijah. Almost to the skiff. If I wanted to get us all back I had to
distract the fuckin� things.)

(Just be careful, Riddick.)

(You know me.) I replied.

(That�s exactly what I mean!)

I grinned slightly as I turned the
corner. Suddenly a creature landed in
front of me and I jumped. (Looks like
it�s time to put that theory to the test.)

(Riddick?) Elijah asked uncertain.

(Hang on.) I
ran up and stood directly in front of the alien. When it moved its head to the side I followed. Slowly the creature stepped back and turned
away. I relaxed and waited for it to
get out of sight.

Suddenly, I felt a tingling
sensation run up my spine. Clicking
noises sounded behind me. The creature
in front of me turned back around suddenly and I knew it saw me. It lunged quickly at me and I tried to dodge
it without getting hurt, but I wasn�t quick enough to escape the swinging
talons. I got a cut on the back of my
left shoulder. When the second creature
jumped on the first one I took my chance and made a run for it. I could see the skiff up ahead of me and ran
faster.

Behind me I heard one of the
predators following. Thinking fast, I searched for Fry�s body. Spotting it a few feet away I ran towards it
and stopped. I picked up the body and
waited for the creature to get closer.
Then as hard as I could I Fry at it and when it was distracted by the
scent of blood I ran the rest of the way to the skiff.

Elijah was there waiting for me
when I boarded the ship and he pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

He let go and scanned my body. Seeing blood he looked up sharply.

�Most of it�s Fry�s, but I got a cut on the back of
my shoulder.� I said pushing the button
to close the hatch.

�Fry?� Jack asked jumping up from one of the side seats. �That�s right. She came back for you. Where is she?�

I looked at Elijah and then back at
Jack. �One of the creatures got
her.� It was partly the truth; only she
was dead when they got to her.

Jack�s body slumped down and Imam
caught her before she fell.

�Let�s get out of here.� I said.

Elijah nodded and moved to sit in
the co-pilot�s seat. I sat down and
then started it up. I pushed the
throttle up and then paused. Pushing it
back down again I turned the skiff back off.

�Riddick?� Jack asked.
�What�s wrong?�

I looked over at Elijah. He was staring at me questioningly. Elijah lifted a white
eyebrow.

I looked back out the window to see
the creatures closing in. Suddenly one
slammed into the glass and I heard Jack gasp.
They started climbing on the skiff.

�Can we just get the Hell out of
here now?� Jack whispered loudly.

�We can�t leave.� I stated.

I grinned when another creature hit
the glass. �Without saying
goodnight.� I started the thrusters
back up and we rammed through the creatures in our path.

The fabric wings ignited when the
skiff reached escape velocity. For a
long moment it hung there until the wings disintegrated and disappeared into
space.

�With so much prayer to make up
for, I don�t know where to start.�
Imam�s voice cut through the silence.
I looked behind me to see him at the back of the skiff rolling out one
of the prayer mats that had been stowed on board with the rest of the supplies.

�I know where I�D start.� Jack said softly joining him on he
floor. She pulled out a second mat and
knelt down next to Imam.

I turned my attention back to the
front when Elijah spoke. �Thank
you.�

I raised a brow questioningly. �For what?�

(For going back.) He answered.

(I don�t think we would have left
that planet without them.)

Elijah smiled at me. (You think we would have gone back even if
Fry hadn�t come to get you?)

�Yeah. I don�t think we could�ve left them there.� I said softly.

He nodded his head slightly and then reached over to
take my right hand. �I think you�re
right.�

I smiled back at him and then
kissed his knuckles.

Third Person

After a few hours, distant stars
came into sight. Riddick remained hunched
over the control board looking through nav-charts to try and figure out where
they were.

�Just don�t worry about it
Riddick. We�ll figure it out
later.� Elijah spoke up.

Riddick sighed and leaned back in
his seat. He looked over at Elijah�s tired
face. �Why don�t you get some sleep?�

�I can�t sleep yet.� Elijah said.

Riddick was about to reply when
blood seeping through the bandage on his arm caught his attention.

�We need to clean those out.� Riddick stated, getting up from his seat and
moving towards the back of the skiff where all the supplies were.

He grabbed the med kit they had
found back at the crashed ship and brought it up front. Riddick knelt in between the two pilot
chairs and turned Elijah�s seat around so it faced him.

�First things first.� Riddick said. �Unwrap your tail and take off your tanktop.�

Elijah nodded. When he was done he dropped the dirty white
tank on the floor. �Now what Doc?�

Riddick rolled his eyes and unwound
the piece of cloth Elijah had tied around his left arm. The cut Fry made went from the top of
Elijah�s shoulder down to his elbow. He
grimaced. It needed to be stitched. He looked down at the cut on his
stomach. It wasn�t as bad as Riddick
thought it had been, when he had first spotted it. It wasn�t bleeding anymore so it just needed to be cleaned out
and bandaged.

Riddick looked inside the kit for the supplies he
needed.

The two sat in silence while
Riddick worked. With Imam and Jack
asleep on the prayer mats the only sounds in the skiff where deep breathing.

After twenty minuets Riddick was
finished. He looked up at Elijah. �Feel ok?�

�Yeah.� Elijah
whispered.

They stared at each other for a
moment longer until Riddick sat up on his knees and placed his arms on the
sides of the chair. They sat there face
to face until Elijah laughed softly and leaned forward to kiss him.

When they pulled away Elijah leaned
his forehead against Riddick�s. (I love
you.)

(I love you, too.) Riddick replied sitting back in the pilot
seat.

In the back of the skiff Jack
stirred and slowly sat up. She stood
and stretched. Jack bit her lip and then walked quietly up to the front.

�So I guess it�s ok for us to talk
now.� She said hopefully.

Elijah grinned when he remembered
that Jack had wanted to talk to them the day before but Johns and the others
had said �no�.

�So, you can find us a shipping
lane, right?� Jack asked. �And then someone picks us up so we can go
wherever we want�someplace bright, with SHOWERS. Someplace like where I came from, I guess.�

When Riddick and Elijah didn�t
respond she went on. �You see, I was
just running away when this all started.�

Riddick glanced at Elijah. He knew what she was getting at. Jack was alone and wanted to come with them.

�Only one problem with that
plan.� Riddick finally spoke his eyes
still fixed on Elijah.

�What?� Jack asked.

Riddick plotted a course and turned his chair so he
was facing Jack. �Lotta questions with
whoever we run into. Might even be a
merc ship.� He trailed off.

Jack thought about it. �So, what do we tell them about the two of
you?�

�Tell �em we�re dead.� Riddick
looked at Elijah. �We died somewhere on
that planet.

Jack grinned and went back to the
prayer mat for more sleep.

�Looks like a good idea.� Elijah said. �Wake me up in an hour and we�ll switch off.� Elijah leaned his seat back and closed his
eyes.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

After six hours everyone on board
the skiff was well rested and wide-awake.

�How much longer do you think we�ll
be stuck in here?� Imam asked.

�Not for much longer.� Riddick replied sitting up in his seat
suddenly and pressing buttons.

�How do you know that?� Jack wondered.

�Because there�s a transporter
coming our way.� Elijah answered
sending out a hail.

They sighed in relief when a
woman�s voice spoke over the line.

�Thank God.� Jack sighed in relief.

Riddick spoke to the Captain for a
few minuets and grinned when the Captain agreed to pick them up.

It took ten minuets for the
transporter to reach them and another ten minuets to finish docking. It turned out that the transporter was
actually a luxury ship heading towards the New Mecca region. Hellion Prime to be exact.

Riddick put his goggles on before
the four of them stepped out onto the main deck after the skiff was docked in
the loading bay.

The Captain stepped forward. She was a short, older woman of about forty
with shoulder length graying hair and kind blue eyes. �I�m Captain Sara Luthor.
First thing I need to know is if any of you need medical
attention?� She asked looking pointedly
at Elijah�s arm.

�No. Just feed us and let us shower.�
Elijah said with a grin.

The Captain laughed softly. �Follow me then.�

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After eating they were shown to two
rooms.

�It�s all we have left. I hope you don�t mind doubling up. Each room has two queen size beds, a full
bath, entertainment centers, and a mini kitchen.�

�Thank you Captain. We are very grateful for your help.� Imam said.

�Think nothing of it.� The Captain said waving a hand. She looked at her watch before speaking
again. �It�s just past 9:30. In the morning I�ll send someone to get you
for breakfast. They�ll lead you to the
dining hall where you can eat your fill.
Do you have any questions?�

�You got a place we can wash our
clothes?� Jack spoke up.

�Of course young man. There�s a cleaner in your rooms.
These are the deluxe suites. Not
everyone can afford them so we don�t usually fill up. The rooms have everything you�ll need. Goodnight gentlemen.�

The four turned to face each other
in silence.

Elijah rolled his eyes and wrapped
his arms around Riddick�s neck.
�Shower.� He put all his weight
on Riddick and knocked them back into the door.

Riddick laughed. �We�ll see you two in the morning.�

They went inside the room and
looked around. It was definitely the
deluxe suite. Two queen beds with a
nightstand in between, a balcony looking out over the interior of the ship�they
were on the top floor�large TV, small kitchen, and large bathroom with both
shower and a jacuzzi tub.

Riddick spotted the small cleaner over in the corner
of the room. After closing the
curtains, they undressed and stuck their clothes inside. With the press of a button the cleaner
started washing.

Riddick looked over to see Elijah
leaning against the bathroom door.
�Come and shower with me.�

Riddick nodded. �Lights to twenty percent.� Riddick took off his goggles and placed them
on the counter top and joined Elijah in the stall.

After a quick hot shower they
turned on the Jacuzzi tub and got in.
Riddick sat in the large round tub with his big muscled arms resting on
top of sides. Elijah moved to straddle
Riddick�s lap.

Elijah stared into Riddick�s silver
eyes for a long time. �I missed you.�

Riddick brought his hands down off
the sides of the tub and placed them on Elijah�s thighs.

�We�ve never been apart for so long.� Riddick answered.

�Two months.� Elijah paused and rubbed the left side of
Riddick�s neck where he had bit him a couple days before. �The marks are already starting to fade. Our
bond is weakening again.�

Riddick nodded and the two stared
for a moment longer.

Elijah laughed suddenly and leaned down for a quick
kiss. �I think we should fix that.�

Riddick grinned back and pulled
Elijah�s body as close as he could. �I
think that�s a good idea.� He
whispered.

They made love for hours that
night. Putting all the passion and
desire they possessed into it. Yes, two
months was a very long time indeed.

With the pressing need to bond
sated, they lay asleep curled together, their dreams melding into one as their
bond strengthened and became permanent again. They could feel each other wholly
once more. The bite marks on their necks healing and scarring over as their
bond was now fully completed. In the
morning the redness around the marks would vanish and you would see two crescent
shaped marks where the neck meets the shoulder.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The four survivors stayed on board the
ship for two weeks until the Captain dropped them off on Hellion Prime.

They were standing at one of the
ports trying to convince Jack that she needed to stay there with Imam.

�But why can�t I just�� She
started.

�No. You need to stay here for a while Jack. It�s not safe to be with us right now. We�re gonna be on the run for a few years until they think we�re
officially dead.� Elijah explained.

Jack huffed and walked over to sit
in a chair.

�Where do you think you�ll
go?� Imam asked.

�We�re gonna go and stay with his
parents for a while. They�re on an ice
planet in the UV System. It�s nice and
cold there. Don�t know how long we�ll stay for though.� Riddick said.

The call for their ship came over
the speakers. �We have to go. Tell Jack we�re sorry.� Elijah said looking over at the sullen
girl. He looked back to Imam. �Please, try and explain things to her.�

Imam nodded. �I�ll do all I can.�

Riddick and Elijah walked through
the gate and onto the ship to find their cabin. It was one of the smallest the ship had. Only big enough for a bed and bathroom with
a small shower, toilet and sink. Didn�t
even have a window to look out of.

�Well, this looks like home for a
month or so.� Elijah stated.

�That�s what it looks like.� Riddick agreed.

Elijah turned to face his
mate. �Wanna see how sound proof these
rooms are?�

Riddick laughed and dimmed the
lights before taking off his goggles.

�That sounds like a plan to
me.�
