Summary: After ten years, side by side, Jack senses something…hidden in Riddick's luminescent gaze. She can't tell him how she feels; how would it help? But the way he's been acting…makes her wonder…
Onyx's Note: I wrote this awhile back and finished it 10'9'09, then decided to go back do some editing tonight, 12'8'09 and decided to finally post it. I think back on it now, and at the time…I wasn't sure if it was good enough to be posted. Now after re-reading it as if it were the first time doing so…when I finished, I was really surprised at myself, but of course, never being truly sated, I had to do s'more editing. *laughs* I'm a dork, I know :D So…on that note, I thought everyone would enjoy this 'what if' story I came up with…which I think is interesting when it comes to a Jack and Riddick story. Anyhoo, on that note…as always… Enjoy!

-Prologue-
The pain swelled and swirled, weaving, suffocating…she could feel it burning inside, the warmth an unwelcome heat, scolding the crevices of her spirit, reminding her she was nothing more then a defiant speck in the vast Black.
She walked, the storm overhead relentless in its rhythm as rain pelted down in warm wet sheets…her boots thwapping against the slick pavement, eyes forward but unfocused… Her gaze open but empty, a haunted woman peering through the slivers of a broken mirror, walking without a cause… Alone… Homeless.
As she ventured into the thick shadows swelling all around her… Her mind drifted back to the moment everything, somehow…
…fell apart…
