Liars Everywhere
Lily's POV
It was too bright, too hot and sand could be seen from fucking miles! Yep, this sure was paradise. But seriously shit man! What's up with this heat it's so stifling hot, I loosen my tie in an effort to cool down a bit. I cannot wait for nightfall where it'll be cooler. We're all huddled together outside. Correction, the others were huddled together. I stood away from them but not far enough so I couldn't eavesdrop on what they were saying which admittedly wasn't at all important to retain, just something trivial like their names and that the Blondie was called Fry who came out finally. Her screaming colleague finally succumbing to death.
Paris, a four eyed man with an overly posh voice approached her,
'There was talk of a party looking for other people but then we saw this'
Yeah, the rest of the vessel didn't exactly make it, it ended up in many pieces, cyro beds everywhere their doors open, bodies flung all over the still smoking wreckage. It wasn't the nicest of sights, but my main concern was the bodies were really gonna smell bad under this heat. Not that I voiced it up, I suspected I would be met with great opposition.
'What the bloody hell happened?' This aboriginal looking man was called Zeke, he had the same annoying accent as Shazza, I assume they are together or something.
'Could have been a meteor storm or a rough comet, I don't know' you don't know? What, were you asleep when the ship was sent crashing down! Woman! I need some answers here! How I wish I could just voice these offending thoughts of mine.
'Well I for one am thoroughly grateful, the beast wasn't supposed to land like this but I think you did well' Shazza slapped Fry's shoulder in gratitude. Everyone approached Fry, giving her slaps of gratidude.
'The only reason we're alive is because of her'
'I suppose you're right. Thanks very much'
'Yeah. Thanks for saving our dicks'
'No really. Thanks awfully'
'Well Done'
Oh boy, I'm gonna puke any second now. This was quite sappy and I did not want to join in, which was why I had kept silent, plus personally I think it was luck that kept us safe. More importantly that Fry, she's hiding something too, but her aura flickering differently, it's small and almost see through. Guilt? I don't know, I'm not good with emotions. One thing for sure, it's certainly different from Johns. I quickly turn away cuz I don't really want my head exploding in two just now, or ever for that matter.
Fry goes back inside; I see her standing in front of where Riddick's tied up. I didn't really care but my 'spidey senses' were telling me to follow, I linger outside, peering round the edge of the crumpled steel metal. She was staring at Riddick, a look of cautiousness on her face, not that I blame her. Riddick's famous for escaping out of more than one high security prison.
'He's just escaped from a maximum prison' that cop Johns told Fry; yeah I figured she's stupid but not that stupid.
'So we keep him locked up forever?' Hmm, maybe I was wrong. She is stupid. How she's a pilot I don't know.
'Well, that will be my choice' You, plus the rest of the universe.
'Is he really that dangerous?' I really felt like bashing my head against a wall, or just hers against a wall. Did she not read the news!
'Only around humans' what on earth was that supposed to mean? I look away, resetting my ring alarm to beep after 130seconds.
'Yo' they both turn and stare at me, their shadows flickering around them, I continue as quickly as I can.
'Um, I was just thinking that maybe we should take turns keeping an eye on him' keeping my voice as low as possible so Riddick didn't hear me, but loud enough so they could hear me.
The fact that they both look at me as if I'm mental pisses me off, Johns should understand that Riddick is dangerous.
'You realise that he has a million credit bounty on him, wanted on five planets in three solar systems, escaping from maximum security prisons such as Butcher's Bay, Slam City and Ursua Luna, and many more. I highly doubt that this broken down ship will keep him secure for long'
Yeah, I'm the first person Riddick wants to kill now, not that I'm scared, I can fight pretty well if I have to. Oh I need to grab my baby first, if I'm gonna fight however.
Fry clears her throat and says 'that's a very smart idea but it's up to Johns on what we do rig-' my alarm starts beeping.
'Welldon'tworryaboutitbye' I say in one breath and quickly storm out of there.
Fuck! Shit! Double Shit! Bollocks! That was waaaay too close. Another few seconds and I will experience the migraine from hell. Especially since there were two lying bastards, the pain would be twice as bad. I'd probably die. An exaggeration but it's true. What bad luck I have that I'm surrounded by liars.
Riddick's POV
So, she's scared of me? No, she's scared for the innocent lives around her. Aw, how cute. But she sure knew a lot about me, it could be her mother's influence, she may have had a lot of contact with her mother's companions or just read the news. But she did leave in such a hurry, I'm intrigued. Well, I think it's high time I leave. Lily was right about me breaking out; trust Johns to use a shitty excuse for a blindfold. There is a hole in the corner and I can see a cutting torch several feet away and also if I look up, there is a gap, way too easy.
Keep Reviewing Guys!
Much Love xx
