thank you to every one for the helpful advice!
"you!" she says unable to stop myself i start laughing as well. "for some old woman you sure can run."
Placing my hands into the dry sand I push myself into a sitting position. Glancing over at jack I see her do the same.
"So..." I start out
"Why don't you tell me a kid is out here all alone without her parents." I say with a serious tone of voice watching her out of the corner of my eye. Sighing she said
"I knew someone would ask sooner or later, I'm an orphan. Truth is I never knew my parents." She answers; poor kid I think
"And the dressing like a boy part?" I watch as her head dose a real quick spin
"How did you know?" she whispers.
"Please don't tell the others!" she begs frantically grabbing my dusty shirt in her hands
"It's all right." I say pulling her hands from my shirt.
"Girls in my time dressed like that more than you would think. That's how I know." I say holding her hands smiling at her.
"And I won't tell anyone." I say letting go of one hand and ruffing up her hair.
"Promise?" she asked with a mix of hope and fear in her eyes and voice.
"Promise!" I say winking at her.
Looking up I see johns run out of the ship looking for something or in this case someone.
"Shit!" I hear him cuss while kicking the sand.
"That doesn't look good." I say standing up and brushing the sand off my pants. Jack turns to see what I'm talking about.
"Yea wonder what happened." She says
"Come on." I say offering her a hand up. Smiling she takes my hand and I pull her up. Pulling a little too hard she stumbles, placing my arms out I catch her in my arms, her face landing on my chest. Chuckling I say
"steady now." Placing my hands on her shoulders I steady her. Smiling down at her I say
"We should see what all the fuss is about." Nodding her head we start to head back to the ship. The slight breeze that the planet offered played with a few strands of Aria's hair. Catching the scent of Riddick not coming the ship I tense up ready to protect jack.
"Stay close to me just in case" I say looking over to her watching her nod her head, I turn my head back to face foreword.
We get back to the ship just as john's tells the rest of the "crew" that Riddick escaped.
"You think he'll come back?" jack asked fear drenching her words. Johns turns to look at us.
"Yea, he'll come back to take your things, fuck with you, or skull fuck you in your sleep." He say's getting too much satisfaction out of tormenting the young girl. Stepping in front of johns to block jack from his view
"Why would you say that to a child!?" I say my anger flaring up
"Just because you can't get it up does not mean you can go around scaring the shit out of people!" I snarl at him. Glaring at me johns says
"You his mother now? Is that it?" getting a little too close for comfort.
"So what if I am?" I say standing my ground.
"You've been awake for what 3 whole hours you think you can tell me what to do!? You got another thing coming lady." Getting up in his face I say
"Oh, yeah and what are you going to do about it?" challenging him to do something. Feeling jack grab my hand she says
"Come on Aria. It's not worth it." Allowing her to pull me away I turn my back on johns and start to leave the room when I hear him say
"Dumb Bitch" Growling I turn around and punch him in the face succeeding in busting his lip and slinging blood on the wall.
"Don't you ever call me that again Johns." My eyes flashing from blue to amber then back again. Turning around I fallow jack through the remands of a hallway to find Shazza.
When jack and I were a good distance away from johns she exclaims
"That was one hell of a punch! Blood even flew onto the wall!" smirking I nod my head.
"Your hand went so fast! It was like wham! And he was done!" nodding we keep heading further into the broken ship.
"Where did you learn that? Can you teach me to do that?" shaking my head I answer
"Sure when you're older." Turning to look at me she asks
"So does that mean you stick around?" her nervousness taking over she stops waiting for an answer. Turning to face her I answer
"Of Corse, you couldn't get rid of me if you tried." Grinning she takes off running down the mangled hall she yells back
"Meet you at Shazza's" just when she was out of sight I hear
"Cute kid." Turning to my right I see sliver eyes staring out at me through the shadows and ship debris.
"I know. And he'll stay that way." I answer watching him maneuver through the debris like a tiger through jungle.
"You asking or telling me" he says backing me into an empty room. From what I could see it looked like it used to be a storage room. The room was clear of debris and empty. Orange sunlight twinkled through the damaged wall. Riddick stopped just inside the door way. I watched as he closed the beaten door, which had defiantly seen better days. Watching me like a hungry tiger watches its pray. Swallowing my fear I answer
"Either, whichever one you'll listen too. You going to hurt anyone other than johns" Smirking he looks me up and down. Slowly he steps closer forcing me to back up. Bumping into the wall I know I'm trapped. Slowly he reaches for my hair. His ruff fingers gently glide across my check. Trying not to moan I close my eyes before he can see them change.
"I have no interest in killing what's left of your precious crew." He says running his opposite hand down my side
"Now my turn, what are you?" he asks bring up a piece of my hair to his nose and inhaling my scent. Gasping, I open my amber eyes confirming his suspicions.
"Beautiful" he breaths.
"What are you talking about?" I say averting my eyes as they change back; trying to play dub hoping against hope it would work. Slamming his fist by my head he moves his face to mine forcing me to look him in the eyes.
"Don't lie to me." He whispers intoxicating me.
"I'm an animal."
