(Disclaimer: I own none of the Pitch Black or the COR characters. I wouldn't mind owning Riddick though.)
Ok this might be confusing at first, it's starts out narrative but then goes into a Jack POV. If you are still confused add it in your review.
Jack and Jenna walked in through the front door to the apartment.
"Who's that?" Jenna whispered to Jack as they passed Riddick sitting on the couch drinking a can of beer.
"That's Richard. He's my guardian." Jack told her mocking the word. Jack saw Riddick didn't notice she brought a friend. "And that's his girl, Cassie." Jack pointed at the woman sitting next to him giving Jenna a smirk. The two made their way into Jacks room. Jenna sat at the desk and Jack took a seat on the bed.
"So where's your mom?" Jenna questioned opening a book she had been carrying.
"I dunno, and I haven't seen my dad in ages." Jack tried to sound like she didn't care.
"But isn't Richard your dad?" Jenna asked pointing towards the living room.
"No! We just live together." Jack smiled a big smile and laughed.
"Do you like Cassie?"
"About as much as I like the Black Plaque."
"She looked nice."
"Looks can be deceiving. She's a real bitch. She's only with him for the sex. If that's what you want to call it." Jack thought for a moment "Ewwwwww!" Jack squealed as she shuddered at the thought of the two of them in bed. Then Jenna too shuddered at the thought. Jack wanted Jenna to know but she thought Jenna might think her nuts. Why can't I tell Jenna or Riddick for that matter how I feel? Jenna and Jack started studying History of Ancient Earth, as Jack heard Cassie's voice yelling angrily at Riddick.
"I can't believe Mr. Nordstrom is gonna give us a test on Ancient Earth. They call it Ancient for a reason." Jenna Retorted
"Shhh." Jack said to Jenna putting her index finger to her lips and rushing to her bedroom door to hear what was being yelled.
In the living room
"I CAN'T BLEIVE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME! AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO HIDE IT! WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR WHAT… A MONTH AND YOU DON'T TELL ME?" Cassie shrieked at Riddick.
"I didn't tell you because she's not exactly with me, plus it was a need-to-know and now ya know." Riddick calmly told her as his voice echoed through the hall.
"THIS… WHATEVER WE HAD OR COULD OF HAD IS OVER!" Cassie ended. All the girls heard where stomps and the slamming of the front door, they didn't hear anything after that for about five minutes. Then they heard Riddick's footsteps coming toward them. The two returned quickly to there seats as Riddick knocked on Jacks door.
"Come in." Jack giggled with Jenna. Riddick walked in looked at Jenna.
"Who's your friend?" He asked not in the politest manor.
"This is… Jenna." Jack said between the giggles.
"What so funny?" Riddick asked giving Jack a gaze she new very well.
"Um… nothing." Jack said trying to hold in her giggles.
"We where Just studying for a test on Ancient Earth." Jenna replied not looking at Riddick. He turned around leaving the room shutting the door behind him; they could hear his boots clanking on the linoleum.
"Jenna?" Jack turned her head towards Jenna giving her a blank face.
"What's wrong?" Jenna returned my blank gaze with a concerned frown. "I've known you long enough to know when you give me that look something's wrong." Jenna got up and took a seat next to me and put an arm around her.
"I have these feelings…"
"What feelings?"
"I feel…well I felt jealousy, but now I just feel like I'm being tore apart on the inside." I felt my eyes welling up, the tears fell involuntarily.
"Why do you feel this way?" Jenna tightened her squeeze around my shoulders.
"I've known Riddick for almost 5 years. He barley notice's I'm hear. You saw he didn't notice we were here until Cassie left. I'm glad the bitch's gone. She can rot in hell."
"I'm sorry you have these feelings towards him, and he doesn't even recognize you exist. But why haven't you told him how you feel, if you tell him he might change."
"Jenna… I have something to confess to you. Richard isn't normal."
"What do you mean not 'normal'?"
"His name is Richard B. Riddick. Escaped con/murderer."
"Oh. I thought Riddick died on T2 after the ship carrying him crash landed."
"After the ship crashed 6 out of 40 passengers lived. But the creature's picked us off one by one until Riddick Imam and I remained. Riddick saved Imam and me by flying a skiff off the planet."
"Tell him how you feel. I know I'd feel better. I could feel the tension in this room between you two." Jenna started to glow like she did when she had an idea.
"What are you thinking?"
"You can go out there and tell him why I stay in here and listen."
"No." I stood up. "I can't he'd think I was crazy or something."
"He'd probably act different around you yeah, but it would be worth it." Jenna stood up to face me. "To make it easer on you I'll leave."
"And leave me here alone?" My eyes ballooned into plates.
"I'll call you tonight around six to see how it went." Jenna walked by me grabbing her books leaving me there all alone with Riddick to tell him how crazy I was for loving him. I fell back on my bed as I heard the front door to open and close. I don't' know how long I laid there before I got up and sneaked into the kitchen. I hid behind a wall just a hair from the couch, I could hear Riddick's breathing, and the gulping sounds he made with every drink of beer. I sat on the floor with my back against the wall for 10 minutes before I got up the nerve to face him. When I stood up and got ready to turn the corner; Riddick stepped into my path.
"Waiting for something?" His voice low and tempting. His eyes shimmered in the dim light above. I could see every line on his face making the small half smile, he made every time it looked like I was doing something sneaky.
"I was just listening to the TV." I lied staring into his animal eyes. He took a step closer.
"I wasn't watching TV." He wrapped his right hand around my waist and pulled me close.
"I don't…" He interrupted me with a kiss. I broke the enchantment he had on me. "Why were you and Cassie fighting?"
"We were fighting over you." He told me as his lips gazed my ear, his voice rumbled in my ear drum making my body shiver.
"Over me? Why?"
"She thought I was your dad." I giggled when he said that to me.
"Riddick I…" He set a finger on my lips to prevent me from speaking.
"Shhh. I know. I've known for a while. You'll have to help me with this love thing."
"Love not part of the Riddick criteria?"
"I didn't know love felt this good." He swept me off my feet and carried me to the couch and laid me down.
"Don't you have to work tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"And I have school. I should get to bed." I stood up and kissed him and tried with all my might not to skip to my room. That night I couldn't sleep, not for the life of me.
The next morning I got up jumped in the shower got dressed and started out the door when Riddick stopped with a hand on the shoulder.
"Leaving without a goodbye kiss?" His lips curved into a smile.
"Never." I gave him a peck on the cheek.
"You call that a kiss." He embraced my small body with his large arms and gave me a kiss.
"I will see you after school." I walked out the door. School went horribly so when I got home I dropped all my stuff by the door and dragged myself to the couch knowing that when Riddick walked through that door he would make the day worthwhile. Riddick usually got home around 4 or 5. When I looked at the clock it was 5:30, I waited patently then it became 6 and 7. When the clock struck 7:30 I started to really worry, he'd never been late before he would walk through the door at 5 at the latest. I called Jenna to ask her what I should do I was so hysterical.
"Jenna, what do I do?" I cried to her over the phone.
"Calm down. I know he has a reasonable explanation for being late. Call his work; he might be doing some over time."
"Yeah that's good. He could be putting in a few extra hours." I hung up with Jenna and called the number Riddick gave me when he started his job, nobody answered. I sat on the couch with the phone a blanket and a cut-out of Riddick.
At 4:23 am the door swung open as Riddick staggered completely naked to the couch waking me with a startle. He sat next to me covered in nothing more then sweat and blood.
AN: I think you guys need to think about this chp. Mwahaahahahah.:)
