(Disclaimer: I do not own Riddick or any of the Chronicles of Riddick, or Pitch Black characters.)

This fic is in Jacks POV. Later on I hope to have a fic from all three POV's. Let me know in your review if your cunfubled or confubilated (confused.)

I had been sitting in my room steamed because Riddick said he wasn't gonna take me with him, I didn't sleep a wink but I didn't hear anything all night either. I cooled down a bit and I walked out to where Imam was sitting.

He sat me down on the couch and handed me a tissue, as his low frown drew blank

"Jack… Riddick left. He went early this morning. I didn't read it because it has your name on it." He handed me the envelope. I didn't want to take it but I had to, it was from Riddick. The man that promised he wouldn't leave and there I was, holding a letter left by him. I stared at it for hours as it stared blankly back at me. I sat on my bed wondering what it said, but not brave enough to read it. I didn't want to know if he was or wasn't coming back. I lived without him before I could do it again. I grabbed a pen and a piece if paper and started writing. I hoped to start a paper I was supposed to be writing, but my brain had other plans.

If you step into the darkness

He'll be there

Fear will clime your spine

You will feel the breath

Of death on your skin

The hair on your neck will rise and fall

As he sneaks closer and closer

A chill will rest

As he holds a shiv at your throat

His deep voice will fill your ear

Just before he slit's your throat.

I dropped the pen as my tears stained the paper blurring the words written. I reached for the letter, I held it in my hand using my other hand to open the flap and pull out the paper held inside. It read:

Jack,

I'm not good at this mushy shit, as you know.

I saved you and Imam as a one time deal. Only did it because Carolyn asked me too.

Richard B. Riddick died on T2. But I didn't, and neither did Jack. Stay strong and remember what I taught you.

Riddick

I put the letter back in the envelope, I bit my lip to keep the tears at bay, but it didn't work they fell like a water fall. I sat on my bed staring at the floor with tears trailing down my face. I wanted to hit or kill something but it wouldn't help the fact. My stomach turned and my heart skipped a few beats as my brain did flips in my skull. My chest was caving in on my lungs and I couldn't breath. I lay in my bed for three days before I realized what I was gonna do about Riddick leaving… I was gonna follow him. He couldn't have gone far in three days. I packed what I could in a small duffle and climbed out my bedroom window, leaving Imam a note that said:

Imam

I've gone to find the one thing that can fill the large

hole in my heart. I hope you can understand and I hope

you won't try to follow me. I need to find what I'm looking for.

Jack

I left it on my pillow knowing he'd see it. I slowly walked to the dock on Fisher 2 and asked around if they'd seen a large muscular man, in black, bald, and goggles. After a few hours of asking around a little boy walked up to Jack, tears trailed down his face, washing away the dirt.

"Hey. Where's your mommy little guy?" I asked picking up the little boy. The boy wasn't more then 4 or 5.

"flew away on a ship." He told me pointing to the sky.

"With who? Why did she leave you?" I wanted to cry, who would leave a little boy alone to fend for himself? I felt sorry for Riddick at that moment. He was left in a dumpster outside a bar with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck after he was born.

"Big scary man, with black eyes." The boy gave me a frightened look.

"Riddick…" I said out loud the boy still in my hands. "What's your name?" I asked him.

"Christo."

"Do you know where your mommy went?"

"Prime."

"Prime? Do mean Helion Prime?" he nodded. "Would you like to come with me?" Christo nodded enthusiastically. I picked up my duffle and headed towards a crater headed for HP. I snuck into the supplies ducked with Christo we sat in a warm corner, I counted my UDs. I only had 100 UDs to survive on.

"Hungry?" I asked handing Christo a pack of crackers. He took them from me and ate them slowly. "You don't eat very often do you?" he just shook his head still slowly eating. The ride was long. I don't know how long, I slept through it with Christo in my lap. He didn't say much, compared to my little sister who wouldn't shut up. Christo started to get restless just before landing so I kept him busy with the only thing I had left to remind me of Riddick; his shiv. I watched him closely making sure he didn't hurt himself. When we landed the shiv was tucked away, as Christo and I snuck off just as we snuck on. The few months Riddick did stay in New Mecca he taught me some useful things, like how to fight and the basic layout of a crater. I missed him; I wanted to find him so bad I could smell him. I walked with Christo through a small village on HP holding the scared little boys hand looking, and searching mostly hopeing to find Riddick.

"Mommy!" Christo let go of his grip he had on my hand and ran towards a woman in a gray cloak.

"Christo." The woman picked up her son and hugged him as if she was never to see him again. I casually walked over to her.

"Hey, I'm Jack. I found your son on New Mecca alone and…" I shrugged my shoulders and held it.

"You brought him here to me?" The woman said with a Muslim accent much like Imams.

"Christo said you left on a ship with a muscular man with goggles?"

"Yes. He said if I flew him here he would pay me."

"Did he look like this?" I pulled out a folded news paper article.

"Yes. That's him."

"Thank you. Uh…do you know where he was going?"

"No, but he gave me 100UDs."

"Here…here's another 100." I handed over my only 100 UDs and walked away. I hoped to find him and I was close. Hmm if I was Riddick where would I go? Somewhere dark and people free. I thought walking through an alley. I heard someone breathing behind me, I walked further as the alley got dark quickly; my eye's had to adjust. I kept walking forward, then something brushed up against my right side. I felt around my right side with both arms stretched out, but I found nothing there and I was too far from the building for me to have hit it.

"Helion Prime is a dangerous place."
