She sat on a bench, arms chained out from her sides, and a bit in her mouth. She was picked up a few days ago on the planet Sirion. She knew it was only a matter of time before they caught her and now here she was staring across the room at a smirking Johns. He had found her in a shitty motel on the outskirts of the city. She put up a pretty good fight. She had even busted his lip and she was pretty sure he had a fractured rib but in the end he took her down with a blow to her head. She woke up chained in this room after they were already in flight. She glared at him while he smiled across from her.
"We'll be there in a few hours. You know it was a lot harder than I thought it would be." He stood up and walked over to her standing only a few inches from her face. His belt buckled twinkled in the overhead light as she stared at his crotch. She slowly lifted her head and snarled at him. "God your sexy when you do that." His smile made her blood boil. "You know if I thought you wouldn't ghost me as soon as the lock clicked I'd take those chains off and fuck you right here."
"And I'd break your neck before you could unbutton your pants." She hissed it in a voice barely above a whisper.
He chuckled lightly and took his seat across from her. "You'll need that spunk in there sweetheart. This ain't no five star hotel you're going to. It's a triple max slam that holds the most dangerous men alive. As soon as they see your pretty face, those tits, and that ass you're gonna be their number one target." He was right and she knew it. Before she had time to let it settle inside her she felt the ship shake slightly and then come down with a jarring force. "Alright sweetheart, we're here." He stood a second time and walked over to her again. "If you make any kind of movement I don't like I won't hesitate to blow a hole through you with this gauge." He quickly unchained her outstretched arms and then cuffed them behind her. He pulled her to her feet and shoved her down the exit ramp. The moment the door opened guards stood around her with guns and shock sticks. Johns shoved her down the ramp and into the doors of the slam.
She stood in a small grey room with no windows and some small vents along the top. "Take a deep breath and hold it." The voice came from a speaker to her left and when she heard the hissing of gas she drew a deep breath. The moment the gas stopped she took a breath of air smelling the chemical that had been sprayed on her. It was a chemical they used to delouse the inmates and surprisingly it smelled like baby powder. The door opened and a guard grabbed her arm pulling her out into the hallway and towards a large metal door with the words 'Warning. Do not cross unless authorized.' She knew that beyond that door was the rest of her life. "Wait!" She turned her head and saw Johns walk over to her. He made a motion with his head telling the guard to leave them for a second. As the guard walked off Johns bent over and slid something into her boot. "Don't say I never did anything for you sweetheart." He smiled and walked away again.
Her guard returned and punched in a code for the door. 98683. She locked that number into her memory, burning it into the depths of her mind. The door slid open with a hiss and he pushed her to the other side. As he pulled her down the dim corridor she felt her heart speed up as men called out to her. The guard stopped in front of an empty cell and shoved her inside. He unlocked her cuffs but not before he slid his hand onto her ass and gave a squeeze. He chuckled lightly and then walked away letting the door slam behind him. She growled and let his face be imprinted into her memory for later use. Her hands and arms ached from being cuffed for so long and she rubbed them trying to get felling back into her extremities. She looked around her current living area and saw that she had a cot, a toilet, and a sink. She shrugged and walked over to her cot and sat down. She slid her hand into her boot and pulled out the shiv Johns had put in it. 'That stupid prick. He thinks that just because he gave me a shiv I won't ghost him when I break out. Well sorry to disappoint you Johns but you're a dead man.' She placed it down the back of her pants where she would have better access to it when it came time to use it and that time would come and she knew it would be soon.
He stared across his cell at his new neighbor. He watched her pull the shiv from her boot and put it in her pants. She lay down and he made a mental note that she was packing. The other inmates were still calling to her and telling her what they were going to do to her once they were out of lockdown. Only six more hours and they would be at her cell.
She heard the men yelling at her, threatening her. She knew thay would be there as soon as they came out of the darkness. She knew Koratisk held the worst of the worst; murderers, rapists, child molesters and rapists. There were 564 prisoners in Koratisk and only three of them were women. Johns told her what happened to women in prison. He told her that they were claimed by the 'big man on campus' so to speak. He would claim them, break them, and then pimp them out to the other prisoners. She shuddered at the thought and she was determined that it wouldn't happen to her. She smiled to herself knowing that she had the upper hand in a way. She wasn't sent to a triple max slam because she shop lifted or jaywalked. She was there for murder. They didn't know her and they took her for granted. Knowing that Koratisk was on 12 hour days she decided she should rest up. She would need her strength for the task that lay ahead of her, it was exhausting defending yourself.
Riddick saw her sleeping and shook his head. She was one stupid bitch. In ten minutes Ajax was gonna be inside her cell so he can claim her. Ajax was the 'Boss' of Koratisk so to speak. He was the person you went to for protection and pussy. Personally Riddick despised him and his cocky demeanor. He thought he could walk all over anyone and normaly he could but Riddick wasn't afraid of him and Ajax knew it. When Riddick was brought to Koratisk Ajax tried to pull his bad ass shit on him but Riddick wasn't fazed. Ever since then Ajax has been after him.
The lights flicked on and still the sleeping figure didn't stir. Riddick shook his head again and decided that he would stick around for the show. He wanted to know if this chick could handle that shiv or if it was just for show. He heard the lock on the cell doors click and then they pulled open with a hiss. He saw her sit up on the edge of the cot and crack her neck. 'This should be interesting.'
She heard the doors open and she took a deep breath. She pulled herself up and swung her legs over the side of the cot letting her feet rest on the floor. She cracked her neck and stretched. Soon she heard footsteps approach her cell and then she saw a very large man standing in her door way. She slowly lifted her head and growled at him.
"There's two ways this can go down. Either you can do as I say without fighting me or you can try to prove something and then I'll have to take you by force. Which is it gonna be?" He was smirking at her while he crossed his arms over his chest.
She ran her eyes over his body sizing him up. He was a large man but she could tell he wasn't very quick. All his strength lied in his upper body. She smiled to herself as she answered him. "You wouldn't blame a girl for trying to defend herself would you?" She stood from the cot and let her arms hang at her sides.
He smiled and uncrossed his arms from his chest. "I would prefer it if you did. I like my bitches feisty." He moved towards her quickly and swung one of his huge arms at her head but she quickly ducked away from him and moved so she was crouched behind him with a shiv drawn. "Where did you get that?" He expected her to fight back but he didn't expect her to have a weapon. She didn't even have time to get one before lockdown.
"What? Scared?" She smiled at him wickedly and tossed the blade between her two hands.
"Not at all beautiful but it's a huge mistake on your part. That'll only piss me off more." He lunged again but she countered his attack by moving swiftly to her right and in the process she sliced his right arm. Not enough to hurt him but enough to show him she wasn't playing around. He looked down at his wound and then snapped his head to glare at her. "You messed up bitch." He whistled and two more men stood inside her already cramped cell. "Now when I get a hold of you I'm gonna let Rick and Spence over here have you first and believe me they aren't as gentle as I am."
She glanced behind them and saw the other two men grinning at her. 'Shit! I can take this fuck but three of them, there's no way.' She didn't let her face show her fear but she smiled and tilted her head at the one in front of her. "What's your name Romeo?"
"Ajax, remember it cause you're gonna be screaming it later." He smiled at the thought of her screaming underneath him. "And what's yours beautiful?"
"Carla, remember it cause that names gonna be the last one in your mind when you die." She moved quickly before he could react and slashed his stomach swiftly causing him to bend over and cover the wound. She wasted no time in quickly plunging the tip of her shiv into his throat and with a twist she heard a pop and her face was sprayed with his blood.
She watched his eyes go wide and then he fell forward onto the floor causing his blood to pool out onto her cell floor. She looked up at the other two men and they looked at the body of their boss lying in a pool of his own blood. "You can either walk out of here with your life or you can stay and join your friend." She pointed to the lifeless figure at her feet.
The one Ajax had called Spence whistled and four more men appeared behind them. "Get the bitch and take her to my cell. I'm gonna teach her some manners." The four men moved towards her but were stopped when they heard a growl from the cell across from hers. They turned and saw a large figure leaning against the door of his cell. He wore a black tank and some green cargo pants. He was huge, both height wise and build. "We claimed her first Riddick. If you let us take her I promise you can have the first go at her." Spence spoke as calmly as he could to the looming figure across from him but the fear in his voice was thick.
"How about you all walk back to your cells now and I'll claim the bitch myself." It wasn't a question, it was a command. Riddick smelled the fear in Spence and this caused him to form a slight grin.
"I have five men including myself. Not even you can take down five men."
"You forgot how I got thrown in here Spence. I killed seven men by myself with only a shiv." Riddick stood up and took a step forward. "And they all had gauges."
Spence stared at Riddick for a second and then motioned to the others with his head. "This ain't over Riddick. The bitch belongs to me." He didn't wait for a comment he just walked down the corridor with his thugs behind him.
Carla watched him go and then looked over at the man across the hall from her. He was enormous, she felt her body tense at the sight of him and she gripped the shiv tighter when he moved into her doorway. "Take one more step in here and I'll gut you." She didn't let her voice falter but she knew deep inside that he would kill her before she had a chance to blink.
Riddick didn't say anything at first he just looked over her body. She wore a black tank top that hugged her breasts tight and showed off her toned stomach. The black cargo pants she wore were tight but not tight enough to hinder her movement. She had long curly red hair that hung in a ponytail down her back and her eyes were a piercing blue. Riddick pulled his shiv out of his pants and flashed it at her. "I have a toy too."
She saw his shiv and her fear heightened. The man she killed earlier was unarmed and took her for granted. This man in front of her had a knife, a very large on at that, and he knew what she was capable of. She took a breath and decided that she would call his bluff. "Just cause you have one doesn't mean you know how to use it." She twirled the shiv in her hand showing her skill.
He gave a quick chuckle and in a lightening quick movement lunged at her and pulled his shiv down the front of her shirt and then across her belly. She stood frozen with fear knowing that when she looked down her blood would be spilling out of her but it wasn't. She glanced down and saw no blood or wound. A smile crept over her lips. "You missed." She saw him gently shake his head no and then she felt a slight breeze across her torso. She looked down and saw that he had cut away her shirt which now lay in shreds on the floor. She sucked in a gasp of air realizing that she was standing in front of him in just a bra. Before she could react she heard footsteps and the guard from earlier appeared in her cell with shock stick in hand.
"Well Riddick I see you wasted no time in getting her undressed." He smiled at her and stepped towards her. "I hate to break up this little party but you killed one of my prisoners and I can't have that can I?" He gave her a wink and she heard the shock stick buzzing in his hand with a blue light. He took his stare off of her and turned to look at Riddick. "Riddick go back to your cell or I'll lay this stick across your head." Riddick looked at him for a second and then walked over to his cell where he disappeared into the dark. "Now Miss Gordon, what should I do to teach you some manners?" He took a step towards her and pointed the stick down at her side. "Lose the shive Carla unless you want me to burn a hole in you with this."
She dropped the shiv and he pushed his face into hers. She graowled at him but he only smiled back at her and grabbed her shoulder. With a push he had her on her knees in front of him. He tilted her head up to look at him and in one swift movement he slapped her hard across the face. With a smile he whispered into her ear. "I always liked a woman better when she was on her knees." He hit her again and that put her onto her side. She felt the anger rise into her and without thinking she kicked him hard in the side of the knee. He hit the ground on one knee causing the stick to fall from his grasp and in a fraction of a second she had her arm around his neck applying enough pressure to cut the air off. He gripped her arm tightly but she only squeezed harder. She felt his life slipping from him but then a burst of pain in the back of her head caused her let go and fall back to the ground.
Her vision was blurred but she saw the outline of a guard leaning over her. "Come on Kip. Get up and grab Ajax. We'll leave her here and let the prisoners have her. She won't be able to protect herself after that blow I just gave her." She heard coughing and then the guard she had been choking kicked her hard in the side.
"I hope they all fuck you bitch." He spat the words at her and with another kick to the stomach he and the other guard grabbed the dead body and left. As she watched them leave she felt herself slipping from consciousness.
He watched her as she lay in his cell. After the guards left he brought her in with him to keep the other prisoners off of her. He didn't care what they did to her he just didn't think it fair if she didn't have a chance to protect herself. In a way she impressed him. She had killed Ajax without much effort and she had disabled Kip without a shiv. She was good but not good enough. He saw her starting to stir and moved back into the shadows.
She woke up with a pounding pain in her head. She didn't know how long she was out but she figured it was awhile. She looked around and noticed that she wasn't in her cell. Fear took over and her body tensed up. She was on the floor of a cell that wasn't hers in her bra and pants. Why hadn't they done anything to her yet? They must have wanted her awake so they could watch her struggle. She rolled onto her stomach and pushed herself onto her hands and knees. Her side screamed in pain causing her to moan and grab it. That fucker had almost broken her ribs. She took a breath and then sat up on her knees searching the cell. There was no one there, or was there? She scanned the dark corners and then her eyes landed on a large figure crouching with his back to the wall. She sucked in a breath when he moved into the light and she saw that it was Riddick. She growled at him and then she looked at her side and saw the huge bruise that covered the whole right side of her abdomen.
"You're lucky he didn't break your ribs." His voice was raspy and she glared at him when she heard him speak.
"And he's luck that other fucker hit me before I choked him to death." She watched him as he moved closer. "If you touch me I'll kill you."
He chuckled and moved towards her again. He stopped no more than a foot from her and knelt down so his face was level with hers. "I think you forgot that I'm the one who gave you the wardrobe change." He smiled and nodded his head to her barely covered chest. "I can just as easily take that off too."
"What's stopping you?"
In a split second he had her pushed to the floor and was straddling her chest. His arms held her hands above her head and his face was inches from hers. "You better watch your mouth bitch. I don't play games." He leaned in and smelled her hair nuzzling his face into her neck and then whispering in her ear. "If you wanna stay alive I suggest you be nice." He pulled away and looked down into her eyes. Her face was solemn but her eyes showed that she was terrified. Riddick stood up and pulled her up with him. He stared down into her face and then let go of her and sat on his cot. He watched her as she stood there where he left her. She kept her head down but she didn't cry. Finally she lifted her head and looked at him.
"I'm hungry."
He smiled and stood up walking to the cell door. "Stay behind me and don't look anyone in the eye. When we sit down you are gonna sit on my lap." He saw her give him a glare. "If they think your mine they won't touch you." He headed down the hallway and smiled when he felt her following in his footsteps.
They entered the cafeteria and she could feel everyone's eyes on them but she didn't dare look up at them. Riddick grabbed a plate and shoved it into her hands and then walked over to an empty table. He sat down and she hesitated for a second but he grabbed her firmly by the waste and pulled her onto his lap. She started to pick up the food to eat but he grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Wait till I'm done." She did as she was told and sat with her head down while he ate. She felt his arm around her bare waist and her face became hot. She remembered that she was in nothing but a bra. When he was done she ate quickly and then he pulled her to her feet leading her back to his cell. He walked over and sat on his cot pulling his knees up to his chest. She didn't know what to do so she just stood in the corner farthest away from him.
She had dosed off but snapped back awake when she heard something metallic hit the ground in front of her. She looked up and saw her shiv lying by her feet. She glanced up and saw Riddick standing over her. "You'll need that but let me warn you. If you try anything on me I will kill you." She knew he was serious so she waited till he walked back to his cot before she picked it up and put it in the back of her pants. She looked at him while he lay on his back on the cot. She wanted to lie on her cot but she dared not leave the safety of the cell. She finally lay on the cold floor and drifted into sleep.
