Matilda's suit
Matilda screamed as Fry pushed her arm further behind her back. Unfortunately, not only was the girl stupid but stubborn as well. Even though it was obvious she was in immense pain she refused to co operate, making Fry's patience lessen.
'I know something is going on Matilda, if you don't tell me what I want to know, I will just slit your throat and ask Daniel. I'm sure he'll be more co operative.'
The girl let out another shrill scream causing Fry to grimace.
'You asked for this,' Fry commented and twisted the girls arm around until it popped out of place. Unable to scream because she was in too much pain, Matilda collapsed to the floor; sweat was beginning to trickle down her face as she cradled her dislocated shoulder. Fry almost pitied her. Almost.
'If you tell me what I want to know, I'll take the pain away like that,' Fry demonstrated with the click of her fingers.
Matilda continued to rock back and fourth as tears sprouted from her eyes.
Resting her leg on the side of the bed post, Fry watched as the girl began to break under the pressure.
She hated the person she had become. No longer was she the selfless person who risked her life to save her crewmates; now she had turned into a conniving person who only thought about number one. She was worse then Riddick.
Fry crouched on all fours to meet the girl eye to eye. Matilda nodded her head faintly.
'Is that a yes?' Fry asked her.
The girl nodded her head more thoroughly this time, releasing a slight groan of pain in the process.
Quickly grabbing the girl's wrist with one hand and the elbow with the other, she snapped the girls arm around until she heard a distinctive click.
The girl fell on the floor and Fry noticed that her eyes had rolled back into her head. Slapping her across the face, Matilda became conscious once again.
'You were saying.'
Matilda took a deep breath and began her long explanation.
'We've been studying this planet for a while now, three years to be exact and we have found forms of aliens which are unlike any humanity have ever seen. If traces of the alien blood mixes with human blood, the cells start multiplying at an extraordinary rate, this would cause someone to have quick healing abilities and other which we are unaware of yet,' Matilda said while she rubbed her shoulder in shock.
Fry was interested.
'How was I going to be involved in all this?' Fry questioned, throwing her blond hair to one side. The girl looked down into her lap guiltily.
'Well, considering no one would know you survived, we were going to run tests on you.'
Fry laughed at this. These people didn't know that she had already been exposed to the alien's blood. Whatever tests they were going to run, were already in process through her.
'Alright, I understand why you needed me to sleep, but why are you going back to the planet?'
Matilda shrugged her shoulders.
'Daniel and I were going to retrieve some more aliens, so that the tests we run can be more accurate.'
Fry did a double take.
'You have aliens on this ship? And you're going back for more? Are you insane,' Fry yelled at the stricken women, who closed her eyes briefly to regain her composure.
'No, we don't have the aliens on this ship. We send them to a research base in the nebula, Zircon.'
Fry fell to the floor in a heap. She had been trying to escape a planet for five years, mainly because it was inhabited with these monsters. Now, a few dumb medical researchers find these creatures and send them to a place where there is more fresh blood. Fry couldn't take it; she couldn't understand why people would put themselves in this sort of danger.
'This wouldn't happen to be located on a planet somewhere, would it?' Fry asked, uncertain. Matilda shook her head slowly.
'Uh, no. It's a large space station like this one.'
Fry sighed with relief and jumped to her feet.
'Do you know the coordinates to this space station?' Fry asked and received a nod.
'Good, you can come with me then.'
Matilda looked confused.
'What do you mean?'
'You'll find out. But first, before we do anything, I have I to make a very important visit.'
Main Deck Hallway
Carolyn Fry leaned against the corridor wall, staring at the bemused George.
'So what do you say?' She asked him.
He shook his head and laughed.
'I'm not crazy. Do you know that if we steal this warship, we will be hunted down until the day we die?'
Fry shrugged and gave him a slight smile.
'Yeah, it doesn't bother me. But, you know, if you're afraid...' She let the sentence drift, he wasn't impressed.
'Are you calling me a coward?' He asked his eyebrows furrowing together.
'If that's the impression you got. Maybe I should say it more often, you look so cute when you're angry,' she mocked.
Glancing down both ends of the passageway, he rubbed his head and sighed.
'I'm going to regret this later.'
Fry laughed in enthusiasm. So far things were going to plan, but there was just one problem. What was she going to do about Daniel? Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone speaking.
'Speak of the devil, I was just thinking about you,' Fry told an angry Daniel.
Daniels face paled when he looked from her to George. Oblivious to the bad vibes the two were sending each other, George smiled at the man.
'Heck, Daniel. I've been searching for you everywhere!'
Daniel quickly glanced at the pilot.
'George, if you don't mind I need some time alone with Ms. Fry.'
Finally noticing something wrong, George gave Fry a confused smile and walked away. Daniel clicked his tongue, eyeing her up.
'So, I see there's been a lot of commotion about you,' he said as he lessened the distance between them. Fry leaned against the wall, casually.
'Oh, you know how it is, Daniel, don't you? I mean do all the other four thousand passengers know what you're planning on doing. Do they know that you are basically sending them to their death, I don't think so?'
Gritting his teeth together he lunged at her, but she was quick on her heels and moved out of the way, causing him to run into a wall.
He swiveled around and faced her again; his eyes were hot with anger.
He had cut his tongue, badly. The stench of blood over powered her, as an odd feeling set into her stomach.
Kill him.
Without noticing, Daniel had grabbed her switchblade and slashed her deeply on the side hip. Anger overcame her; she could feel her heart beginning to beat faster. Lifting her hands slowly she saw her fingernails begin to grow into what resembled claws. Using her tongue, she felt the sharp tips of her teeth which for some reason had gotten sharper in a matter of seconds. Seeing this taking place, Daniel started backing off slowly but not before she had him in her view point.
Kill him!
An animal growl escaped her lips and the next thing she knew she was on top of him, clawing at him, biting him. It ended almost as soon as it had begun. He was dead.
She had killed him.
I have finished my fourth chapter, woohoo! I actually enjoy writing Fry as a main character, especially now that she is more...selfish. I hope you like this as much as I like writing it. Please R&R!! And in reply to BloodSoakedTiger, yes this story is taking place around the same time as the movie COR.
