I don't own Riddick or anything to do with Riddick and I don't own wolverine's claws and the metal around the bones. But I do own my character Jennifer.
------------------------------------------------- Wildfire -----------------------------------------------
Riddick, with his hands cuffed behind him and around a bulkhead, he can't get near it. Or can he? Near the ceiling, the bulkhead is fractured -- a slim spot where maybe chains could pass through.
Riddick stands. With a GRUESOME POPPING, he dislocates both shoulders...carries his arms overhead...passes the chains through the broken spot...and brings his arms down in front of him. A body-flex POPS HIS SHOULDERS back into joint. Free, he reaches for the cutting torch, but it's picked up by Jen.
He looks at her with an 'give me it and you live look'.
She looks at him then gives it him and says "I advise you not to take your goggles of outside there's three suns." With that she started walking away when Riddick shoved her against the wall. She shudders at the de ja-vu but Riddick grins thinking he's the reason but he only caused de ja-vu.
"I'm warning you now, you don't want to get in my personal space as people who have done that before ended up dead." Riddick could tell she was telling the truth and it made his animal side growl.
Admit it you like him in your personal space.
No I don't it reminds me of that day four years ago and the hell if I let that happen again.
It didn't happen then it won't happen now. Unless you forgot you are your own built weapon.
I know that's why I have never been caught because I am the murder weapon and the people who see me end up dead.
That's just the way I like it.
I'll agree with the death part I mean you are apart of me and I you.
I'm proud of that but I would be prouder if you showed Riddick exactly how strong you are.
Jen smiles and cracks her knuckles then kicks him away and says "Leave now and I won't tell them where you went but that means in order for them to trust me you have to punch me." Riddick didn't hesitate and punched her hard which caused her to fall to the floor, and before she collapsed she saw Riddick smile then walk off.
Way too much de ja-vu.
Wake up, wake up, wake up NOW.
Jen bolted up and instantly regretted it. She notices the kid Jack and he walks up to her and kneels down next to her and says "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just a bit of headache. So, what happened?"
"They found you unconscious and went after Riddick."
"Well they could have waited. Because what better to find an animal than another animal."
Jack looks at her weird and says "Animal? He's human."
"Yeah but so am I." Stop lying. "Me and him have an animal instinct so what's to stop people from callings us animals."
"Animal instincts?"
"The one that tells you to go for the sweet spot; just to the left of the spine, fourth lumbar down. The abdominal aorta."
Jack helped her get up then Jen did the unexpected she went out of the ship just to end up seeing none other than Riddick sitting down where Paris sat before. She smiled before going back in to witness a few minutes later a man being shot by Zeke.
"It was just somebody else. From the crash. He was just..."
"Crikey. I thought it was him. I thought it was Riddick."
I wish I could scare people into doing the killing for me but that would mean I would have to reveal myself.
Well you could.
No!
You want to kill and feel the coppery blood on your hands again and on your blades.
I will not kill these people especially not the kids and Fry.
Damn those kids. Kids are the one thing you will never kill and that is a weakness. Weakness leads to death.
Well that makes me human then doesn't it end of discussion.
Jen looks around then notices she was out of it again; she hears more gunshots and runs to them at the same time as Shazza. She sees the blood and sees Riddick and grins but then realizes when she looks closer at the whole there's something in there worse than her and Riddick.
Riddick gets up and runs. He lopes through the spires, running from the scene of the crime. He turns a blind corner – and SOMETHING NEARLY BLOWS HIS HEAD OFF at close range. He hits ground. A boot steps on his neck, keeping him there. Johns.
Sucking on their breathers, Fry and the Chrislams make it back to the ship. They find Johns beating Riddick like a chained dog.
"...I don't play that...I don't play that so just try again. C'mon, Riddick, tell me a better lie..."
"Ease up, ease up. JOHNS! Just tell me what..." She hauls him off -- only to have Shazza start punching Riddick.
"What'd you do with 'im? You bloody sick animal you, what'dja do with me Zeke?"
She kicks him and knocks him out. Jen comes then and shoves Shazza away and says "He did nothing, he's good but he's not that good."
"He did it end of discussion."
Johns is about to Drag Riddick but Jen pushes him away and puts Riddick's arm around her shoulder and takes him to the ship where he is secured.
Jen sits in a dark corner where she can't be seen by anyone except Riddick. She has her goggles off staring at Riddick through her eyes not goggles.
Looks better without my goggles, nice muscles and body, damn them for hurting him like that.
Now you agree with me?
I agree I like him and a part of me wants him but I can't unless I want to be shunned by the rest of the People on this planet.
Well he's an animal he will notice you like him by your scent.
Well if he likes me let him come. I go to no one.
That will be changing very soon because you want him.
Ok end of conversation.
Jen opened her eyes to notice Riddick was awake. Great now I get to see if he has good senses. Just then Riddick looked at her and smiled which grew when their eyes locked. He looked away and closed his eyes when Fry entered. "So where is he?" He looks at her but still doesn't open his eyes.
"Tell me about the sounds. You told them you heard something right before..." no response "If you don't talk to me, Johns'll take another crack at it -- at your skull."
"You mean the whispers?"
"What whispers?"
"The ones telling me to go for the sweet spot just to the left of the spine. Fourth lumbar down. The abdominal aorta. It's a metallic taste, human blood. Copperish. If you cut it with peppermint schnapps, that goes…"
"Do you want to shock me with the truth now?"
"All you people are so scared of me. Most days, I take that as a compliment. But it ain't me you got to worry about now."
"Show me your eyes." He sits with his lids shut tight, anticipating the pain.
"You'd have to come a lot closer for that." She steps closer. "Closer."
Imagine a virgin undressing in front of someone for the first time. That's how Riddick opens his eyes, startling her: No irises, just huge black-pool pupils. And from deep within, a jewel-like eyeshine. His eyes are as beautiful and unsettling as those of a starved jaguar.
She jumps back when he gets up to show her his eyes. Then Jack comes in the room notices his eyes and says "Where the hell can I get eyes like that?"
"Gotta kill a few people."
"Okay. I can do it."
"Then you gotta get sent to a slam where they say you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor and you pay him menthol Kools... to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs."
"So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark?"
"Exactly." Both him and Jen say but she says it quieter.
Fry looks at Jack and says "Leave!"
"Cute kid. Did I kill a few people? Sure. Did I kill Zeke? No. You got the wrong killer."
"Then where is he? He's not in the hole. We looked."
"Look deeper."
Fry turns and leaved then Riddick looks at Jen who step out of the shadows and steps in front of him. "Shame you didn't kill him I wanted to learn from the best."
He smiles "Nice eyes." She blushes and turns to go but he says "Don't usually say this but thanks heard what you did."
She turns back to him steps slightly closer and then says "Your welcome. But I wasn't going to let John's drag you and make you hurt more than you were. For some reason the animal in me doesn't like to see you hurt." Did I just say that shit.
Riddick smiles then closes the distance and catches her lips. She first looks at him shocked before kissing him back. She raps her arms around his neck and deepens the kiss. From the corner of her eye she could see he wanted his arms free. She stopped kissing him and stepped away slightly. He lets go a low growl. "You know I'm a freak. I'm my own weapon I have a metal called alumantium and I have metal claws or blades if that's what you call them come out between my knuckles."
"All of us are a freak one way or another your just the person who shows it's not bad to be a freak."
She nods and walks off putting her goggles back on.
Wasn't expecting that at all.
Now you can take him.
He just said I'm the person who shows its not bad to be a freak.
I know I heard it. That was definitely not his animal side, the growl was.
He's a person after all.
