DR: Hey! It's just me for this chapter since TM needed to take a nap.

M: Who said you were by yourself?

DR: (stares at Mushu) Why the hell are you here?

M: TM said that you might want some company!

DR: (growl) Whatever. I would like to thank Insanity Breaking Point and Crazy Girl Writer for reviewing! Thanks so much!

M: Anyway! Disclaimer! Of course they don't own Pitch Black or any thing else do you think that the characters would be as normal as they kinda are if they did?


Chapter Three:

Watching as Fry and Johns argued back and forth about someone going into the hole, the two girls sighed. They hate when they're right about things. And this being a long day was turning into one of those things that they were ending up being right about. Fry finally finished shooting down whatever Johns was saying and walked towards the hole. Anita gave Shea a look before hurrying ahead. Shea followed her friend, swallowing heavily, knowing exactly what the older girl was going to be doing. Seeing Anita arguing with Fry made Shea wish that she had been wrong just once.

"Look Fry, I have more experience when comes to caving and crawling in small spaces like this one. I'll be fine. If I find Zeke's body, then I can call out and we can dig deeper to get to him. That way we can give him a proper burial. Ok?"

Fry looked like she wanted to argue some more but Shea was quick to step in. "Please let Anita do this. She really is good at this sort of thing. Besides, you're not alone in this. There are others here that are more than willing to help you."

Fry just stared at the girl before sighing roughly. "Okay, fine."

Anita rolled her eyes. "Oh fine. Let's listen to her and not the one that will actually being going down the motherfucking rabbit hole. Ugh."

Shea sighed. "Lets just get this done Sissy. Okay?"

"Whatever."

Everyone was silent as the girls walked ahead of the group as they headed towards the hole. Shea stood back and watched as her big sister and friend put the rope around her middle and Imam made sure that it was secure. She stood out of the pit knowing that if she went down there then she would do whatever she could to make sure that Anita didn't do go through with this incredibly stupid plan of hers.

Anita glanced at Imam, making sure that he held securely onto the rope and was feeding it. She didn't even bother looking towards Shea. She knew exactly what would be in the other girl's face and she didn't want Shea to see the uncertainty that she felt. Sure, Anita had watched the movie several times and might have an idea as to what to expect but that didn't mean shit now that she was facing these things for real. This was still basically unknown to Anita. The girl had no idea just what kind of reactions these would have or how strong they would really be.

With a deep sigh, Anita started crawling and pulling herself in the hole. The smell of death and evil nearly choked the girl, almost causing her to back up and get out. 'Come on girl you can do this. You've been through worse!' Ignoring all of her instincts that were screaming for her to get the hell out of dodge, Anita crawled further until she was finally able to stand upright in the cavern. Already knowing where what little bit of Zeke was left, the girl glanced over to where the foot was and then away. Catching a sound, Anita slowly turned so as not to let the creatures know that she was aware of them. She watched as several of the things moved quickly from one shadow to another. 'Damn these things are fucking fast! Faster than I thought they were going to be!' Using her magic eyes she watched the wall move as the creatures came alive from smelling fresh meat that was stupid enough to enter their lair. Anita could feel the power in their small bodies. This was not going to am easy fight if she had to take them on. She would dare say that she might even lose.

Knowing that it was time to cut this little romp through hell sort, Anita started to head back out of the cave. That was until she saw that she was surrounded. 'Well fuck. Make that extremely faster than I thought they were!' Anita quickly glanced around trying to find some kind exit. With her heat starting it wouldn't be long til she wouldn't be able to use her powers and what little bit she did would have to be sparingly. If even then. Using her instincts, Anita growled lowly at the creatures making them stop for a moment, giving her enough time to dart away towards one of the columns. One of the braver creatures grabbed a hold of the hood of her jacket to jerk her back towards the shadows and out of the safety of the light. Anita hastily shed the damn thing before leaping across the shadows and creatures and into the light of the spires that she could climb into. 'Well don't this shit look familiar!' Anita thought angrily as she climbed the spiral.

Before the girl could punch a hole through the dirt, she was roughly jerked almost down into the shadows. She desperately tried to get a hold of the clip to unhook herself as she felt herself being slowly pulled downwards. Somehow, she knew that they were taunting her. There was no other way. These things could easily pull her down and into the shadows. Which meant that the things were fucking with her and that just damn well pissed the girl off.

"You fuckers! You better be glad that I'm in my heat otherwise I would break everyone of your fucking necks!"

Anita could feel her body tiring as she continued to fight the pull of the creatures. During the first few hours of her heat, Anita's body would tire easily until it was used to the temporary changes being forced on it. Since her heat had started only a short while ago, there was no way that her body had had enough time to adjust. She could just hear Mushu in the back of her head telling her that she should have taken a mate by now, but noooo she just had to be stubborn. Anita growled loudly until she saw the part of the column in front of her break apart revealing two arms reaching in and feeling around, looking for her. Quickly, she grabbed them and let Johns and Imam pull her back out into the intense heat of the desert planet. Panting, they almost had her out until the creatures jerked on the rope one more time causing her to have to hold onto the edge of the small hole tightly. Anita could feel the dirt breaking apart even as she tried to hold onto it for dear life. Feeling two small hands grab hers and start pulling, Anita looked up to see Shea looking wildly into her eyes. The older girl could feel energy seeping into her as Shea tried to feed her some of her own magic to help. Using that little bit of magic, Anita was able to pull herself out enough to where Imam and Johns could cut the rope from her waist.

Falling the rest of the way out, Anita panted heavily as Shea grabbed her, just held onto her. Both of them ignored the rest of the group as they just sat there. Anita, calming her body down and Shea just letting herself be comforted by the fact that her big sister was alive and in her arms. Finally, they were able to pay attention to the rest of the world as Fry knelt down in front of Anita to check her out.

"What the hell happened?" Johns demanded ignoring the glare that Fry was sending him.

Anita gave him a cold look. "There are some kind of creatures down there. Whatever they are they're the ones that got Zeke and the almost got me if you guys hadn't heard me." She looked around at the group. "By the way, who heard me?"

Jack blushed slightly and looked down at the ground. "That would be me, Anita."

Anita smiled gently at her. 'That reminds me. I need to let Shea know that Jack is a girl.' "Thanks Jack."

Johns snorted. "Are you trying to tell me that some kind of monster is down there?"

Anita glared at him. "Why no you stupid fucker I'm not. I'm such a great actress that I can make it seem as if I'm being dragged down to hell all by myself! What the fuck do you think it was? Motherfucking PIXIES?"

Shea broke in before a fight could start. "Look, there's something down there that nearly got my big sister and right now she really needs some rest. Not some ass that wants to question her to death. Now if your done. I'm going to get her into some shade before she passes out." Without giving any one time to argue, Shea helped Anita off of the ground back towards the crash site.

After a few moments, the rest of the people followed after them. None of them looked back to where they had just pulled the strange girl from the ground. None of them really wanted to admit that there was something beneath their feet that was more deadly than Riddick. Least of all Johns.

Anita sighed as Shea helped her lay down in the shade of the hull of the crash. She tried to smile up at the younger female in an attempt to make her feel better.

Shea just watched on. "How bad?"

The elder didn't even pretend to not know what the other was talking about. She sighed. "They're way fucking stronger and faster than I thought they were. They had me surrounded before I could even blink. It didn't help that my heat has just started and my body is still adjusting."

Shea sighed before tiredly rubbing her eyes. "You need to sleep some."

"Yeah but we can't afford that luxury. Just let me rest for the next few minutes and then we can get back to creating havoc. K?"

Shea sighed again. "K."

With that the two girls sat back in the shade and rested, their faithful companions with them trying to think about the death and danger that would soon occur that they would be unable to stop.


DR: YA HA! This chapter is finally done. I kinda missed TM's input though (pouts)

M: I'm sure she would be very happy to know that.

DR: Whatever. Anywho! Sorry that the chapter is so short. My brain is kinda fried and I didn't have a lot of ideas. Please review and give me your thoughts! And maybe if you send enough of them we might be able to get TM to wake the hell up! (pokes TM with a stick)

M: Please review before DR gets any more crazy ideas!
