Chapter: Adjustment

…..
The arrival on the large ship that contained the Necromongers empire was huge to say the least. Reyna was a bit impressed with the large empire that was within the commanding ship. It contained a good population and everything inside the ship ran as a society. Though the sight of the Necromongers race, Reyna looked at Riddick with raised eyebrows.
"What is up with the puncture holes in their necks?" Reyna whispered.
"Something to do about learning from the pain and lessening it." Riddick shrugged his shoulders as he showed that he was not truly sure.
"It as if I am watching walking ghost."
"It is called purification." A deep male's voice said from behind Reyna.
Reyna whirled around with her dagger against Vaako's throat as he was close to her. His eyes stared blankly at her. Reyna gave him an innocent smile and pulled the dagger away from his throat.
"Purification? Literally pale as a ghost."
"Everything is numbed too." Vaako told her.
"Eh, no thanks." Reyna shook her head.
Necromongers eyed Reyna as she walked alongside Riddick.
"Oh, look it, you have a throne. How much did this boost your ego?" Reyna pointed out, smiling at Riddick.
The two were walking up the steps to Riddick's Lord Marshal throne when Reyna made that comment. Riddick shoved her aside as a reply to the comment causing her to stagger down a few steps. She snickered as she knew that she will enjoy messing with her twin brother again.
"You know, I am still mad about you leaving me behind."
"I know." Riddick sat down in the throne, ripping his goggles off due to it being dark enough inside the empire ship.
"Oh really?" Reyna came to stand by Riddick side.
Punching Riddick in the shoulder, Riddick grunted and shot her a glare with his eye-shine eyes. He held up his left hand causing Reyna to stare at him with confusion, but looked behind her to see Necromongers guards standing at the end of the stairs with their spears pointing toward Reyna.
"Oh, they don't know that I am your sister."
"No, it will be spread soon enough." Riddick said lowly. His eyes flicker to the side to see Vaako standing there with Dame Vaako appearing beside him.
…..
"Who is she?" Dame Vaako stood beside Vaako.
"That is Riddick's twin sister, Reyna."
"What? The breeder has a sister?"
"It appears so." Vaako eyes stayed on Reyna as she was having a conversation with Riddick.
Looking up at Vaako, her husband, Dame Vaako looked to where he was looking then back at him. She reached out to grab his chin and ripped his head into her direction.
"You eye the breeder?"
"I am wondering what they are discussing. It is two Furyans. Do you know how dangerous they are?"
"No, I don't. You could take on Riddick and I'll take on the woman."
"No, you do not understand." Vaako ripped his head away from her grasp to grab her by the arm to lead her away.
"Let go of me." Dame Vaako hissed, trying to pry Vaako's hand off of her forearm.
Vaako continued to pull her behind him until he found an alcove in the hallway, away from others eyes. He shoved his wife into the alcove and stepped close to her, bringing up his right hand to point in her face.
The comment from Reyna about him having a weak mind rushed through his head, which added more frustration and annoyance that his wife brought down upon him.
"No, you will listen to me!" Vaako snapped at her.
"Do not point your finger at me."
"You don't understand how powerful that woman is out there. I saw her fight. I saw her match the Lord Marshal. I watched as she put down two of my troops without me even noticing until Lord Marshal Riddick said something. So, if you decide to trend on her toes, I warned you." Vaako explained with a firm tone and a glare.
Huffing in annoyance and anger for Vaako being like this, Dame Vaako shoved him aside to storm away.
Licking the front of his teeth, a growl escaped Vaako. He slammed his hands against the stone walls. He pushed away from the wall to walk the hallways to ease his anger down before he reported back to Riddick.
…..

…..
"Will I have my own place to stay?" Reyna asked Riddick as she walked alongside him. Her eyes looked at Necromongers that passed by them, seeing them giving her a once over to which she gladly returned back before staring back forward to see that Riddick got ahead of her.
"Yes, that is where I am leading you. It is near my place."
"Oh great."
Riddick shook his head as he continue to lead Reyna through the long hallways and up the many levels of the ship to almost the top. Upon arrival at her door, he stood in front of her before she could enter.
"Do not give anyone your code or key to access your place. Only I know your code."
A small laugh escaped Reyna and she stepped up closer to Riddick.
"You trust no one here?"
"No, I do not trust any of them. I have to watch my back every second. You should too." Riddick warned and then opened up the door with the access code.
"I will." Reyna stepped into her new living quarters.
"Especially Vaako's wife."
"I haven't even met the woman." Reyna whirled around to face Riddick with disbelief.
Riddick stepped into Reyna's new home and let the door slide shut behind him to give the siblings privacy.
"She is poisonous bitch."
"Then get rid of her."
"I am waiting for her to slip up with me so that I can deal with her."
Eyeing Riddick with narrowed eyes, Reyna got a small smirk on her lips. She turned away from him to walk around her new place.
"How will Vaako take it?" Reyna asked, walking across the sitting area then up two steps onto this platform that had a lounging chair in front of a large window that looked out to space.
"Honestly, he is so whipped by her, I don't even think he understands how to lead anymore. He tries to be strict with her, but he can't handle her. She really is a thorn in my side."
"She wants power." Reyna hands rested on her hips as she stared at the passing stars.
"Yep." Riddick replied
"And greed will cost her in the end." Reyna whispered.
…..
…..
…..
Reyna had left her new apartment to explore her new home.
The Necromongers eyed Reyna as she walked through the floor level of the ship that acted as shopping area. It interested Reyna as she eyed the clothes that they wore, thinking how sooner or later she will dress in one of those skin tight dresses.
That was when the idea struck her.
A sly grin graced her lips.
…..
"You want to what?"
"I want to cause mischief."
Riddick stared at his twin sister as if she had finally lost her mind. Then again, that was calling the kettle black.
The idea that Reyna brought up to him was to dress in one of those skin tight dresses while she stood by his side when he introduced her to the Necromongers empire. Reyna wanted to dress in their ways to not only watch their reaction and try to gain their trust toward her, but she wanted to see how angry Dame Vaako will get.
"You said she was a thorn in your side."
"Why do I feel that you are going to bring me nothing but trouble?"
"Looks who talking." Reyna replied blankly.
"Touché. All right. Maybe it will speed the process of her stepping over her boundaries with me. But also, let's see if anyone else steps the wrong way before me when you are introduced. I will not tolerate those that cannot accept you."
"Oh, I am touched." Reyna clasped her hands on her chest and battered her eyes toward him.
A snort escaped Riddick and he shoved her laughing self out of his apartment.
"Go get ready!"
…..
Riddick stood at the end of the throne stairs, waiting for Reyna to appear. He saw the guards lined up, keeping everything in check. Necromongers were appearing in all the levels, staring down at the introduction Riddick will announce. Eye shined eyes came to rest on Vaako walking forward with Dame Vaako beside him.
"Don't you know only the commanders and troops are to come near me without my permission?" Riddick waved at the area around him.
"It is an introduction. This other breeder is allowed around you."
"Blood is thicker than water. You are sure as hell not my blood or will you ever be."
"Why would I want to be mixed with you? A breeder."
"Lady, you are this close to getting a shiv to—" Riddick was cut off.
"The sweet spot that is left of the spine, fourth lumbar down, the abdominal aorta. It gets really messy, real quick." Reyna voice spoke out.
Riddick looked up where he let out a low impressed whistle at the sight.
Vaako eyes widen only slightly before he gathered himself as he tried not to take much of an eyeful, but he did take a lot on the first glance. As for Dame Vaako, she got a snarl across her face.
Reyna came walking towards them with long dominant strides in the black knee height high heel boots. A sway to her hips, which was evident due to the skin tight long length black dress with dark gold outlining. The texture got a slight shine to it, but the design appeared to be similar to snake skin. The daring part of the dress was the deep v-neck that stopped just above her bellybutton. Her breasts were obviously covered up, yet the neckline caused the insides of her breasts to be seen. Pressed against the skin tight fabric caused her full breasts to almost create a cleavage. It was a halter top style dress as the back of the dress was open to show her back and there was a thin netting film that went over her bare back. The dress did have a slit up the front so her legs were seen briefly when she walked.
Then there was her hair done up in a high ponytail with braids. Her dark hair appeared darker with the black dress and the dark setting of their atmosphere. A poof on top of her head then pulled back into the ponytail. Three tiny braids on both sides of her head that pulled back into the ponytail. Dark gold clasps seen in the braids. Dark gold bracelets and earrings were present on Reyna. Lastly to top it off, Reyna had dark eye makeup on to make her silver blue eyes to shine brightly that it appeared that she had partial eye shine. The dark wine lipstick glossed onto her lips.
"Commander Vaako." Reyna bowed her head to him.
"Lady Reyna." Vaako bowed his head back, swallowing a bit harder than usual as he stood back up, ramrod straight.
Riddick smirked as he took notice that Reyna managed to get Vaako to fluster up a bit. It made Riddick to want to boom out laughing, knowing that Vaako was trying not to eye Reyna with Dame Vaako standing beside him.
"And you must be Dame Vaako." Reyna faced the woman that she heard so much negativity about.
And it appeared that the words held true as the Dame gave Reyna a look over then actually snorted in disrespect at Reyna. It made Reyna to clasp her hands behind her back, clenching them to not react by punching this woman lights out.
"And you are the breeder."
"Dame." Vaako tried to reach out, but the Dame smacked his hand away.
That made Riddick to shake his head, though he did cast Reyna a warning look to not physically attack the woman that stood before her. Reyna looked away to see the Dame shoot Vaako a stern look and then her narrowed eyes were back on Reyna.
"Breeder? That's what you call us that aren't Necromongers."
"Yes."
"Aren't you a cup of tea." Reyna said dryly.
"Reyna." Riddick warned.
"Here we got a Lord Marshal as a breeder then he brings another filthy breeder into our empire."
"Wow. You really are a heartless, bitch. I mean, burr, I think the temperature in this place dropped even more than it already was." Reyna smiled innocently and she walked by Dame Vaako to stand before Riddick.
Riddick let out a laugh at the comment, but more so at Dame Vaako reaction as she stared at Reyna with shock before it turned to annoyance. Vaako shook his head, but stepped back from his wife as if he did not want to get involved. Riddick couldn't blame him.
…..
"Listen here breeder—" Dame Vaako stepped forward, pointing fingers.
"No, you listen here, you bitch." Reyna face turned into seriousness as she whirled around to face the Dame.
How quick Reyna facial expression turned from innocent to seriousness perked Vaako's attention. He noted Riddick had amusement in his eye shined eyes, yet his mouth was set straight. The two men both knew that Dame Vaako overstepped her boundaries.
"I assume that your lovely husband over here that you command at your will and he does your bidding instead of thinking for himself, sorry Commander Vaako." Reyna glanced at him quickly then she looked back at the Dame.
Vaako looked over at Riddick, seeing Riddick shake his head at him.
"Has already warned you about me. Now I would take his words seriously or else." Reyna finished and she made her way back over to Riddick.
"Else what?"
"She doesn't know when to quit, does she?" Reyna asked Riddick, who shook his head.
"Dame, hold your tongue." Vaako tried to say, but of course he was ignored.
Turning halfway around, Reyna eyed Dame Vaako through half lidded eyes.
"Or I will find that sweet spot and watch you wither before my feet." Reyna said smoothly with a quick smile before it dropped away.
Reyna eyes were back on Riddick, who led her up the steps to stand by his throne.
"I told you she was not a woman to be on the bad side with." Vaako hissed at the Dame.
"She is nothing but a breeder. A breeder that I see you eyeing."
Vaako bit his tongue as he did not want to say anymore. If he did, he knew it will only fuel Dame Vaako to say more. He turned away from her making Dame Vaako to huff in frustration then stormed away to stand by a pillar by the guards.
Another reason he didn't want to open his mouth was because Vaako felt the urge to slip out that he was indeed eyeing Reyna.
Vaako looked up the steps to the throne where Riddick sat and Reyna stood on his right side. As Riddick began speaking to give introduction of who Reyna was to him, Reyna turned her head to make eye contact with Vaako. All Vaako could do was stare back and hold her powerful gaze.
