Forward:
This story is a sequel to my other songfic Torment. I suggest you be sure to read that story first or you will be really lost during this one. :)
Firstly, I want to point out that I don't own any of the characters or rights to the Chronicles of Riddick; like so many others, I wish I did, but alas… Also, I don't own any rights to the songs by Evanescence; they belong to the group and their record label alone. I'm just borrowing them - giving them the full credit for the brilliant lyrics - so that I can write my story. :)
This story starts right at the end of Torment and for the full effect of it; I would suggest that you read each chapter as you're listening to the song that it is named after. But don't worry about that too much. It's not necessary by any means.
Okay, well, I hope you enjoy it :)
