Here is chapter 7 as promised. Please review and enjoy!
He looked at me with sorrow, confusion, pain, and somewhere a little happiness.
"Deja?" he asked confused.
"Hello, Riddick." I said he gave a ghost of a smile and began to lean down to my level.
"We have a lot of catching up to do." He said in my ear as he brought himself around to me face. His lips never leaving my skin, he briefly brush his lips past mine. He looked down at me with the same look as before. It was interrupted when knocking could be heard downstairs. He pulled away glanced to the door then back to me.
"Open up in there!" someone said from below. Lajjun came through the door.
"They're searching houses!" Lajjun said.
"Shh." Imam responded. Riddick never took his eyes away from mine, the mirrored silver digging into my soul.
"They're looking for a man who came here today. They think he might be a spy." Lajjun said.
"A spy?" Imam responded.
"Did someone see him come here today?" Lajjun asked threateningly. "Did they?" Riddick glanced at the woman then back to me, a man of few words, if any.
"Lajjun stop." Imam said.
"We're sure he's in there!" on of the people below said.
"What do you know about all of this?" Riddick asked.
"I know we're in a shit ton of trouble if you refuse to help." I said. He gave me an amused look for a spilt second.
"I will send them away." Imam said to Lajjun then turned to Riddick and I. "But wait one minute, please. Will you wait one minute to save worlds?"
"Not my fight." Riddick said.
"Riddick you don't know the whole story." I said.
"Apparently I don't know much." He said to me with venom.
"So you will leave us to our fate," Imam said as Riddick grabbed ahold of my arm without warning. "Just like you did her." I turned to face Imam as Riddick stopped from jumping out of the window.
"Imam." I said threateningly. He shook his head at me and walked to the door, telling the men I was with to help stop the people below. Riddick let go of my arm and pinned me to the wall.
"Where's Jack?" he asked looking down at me menacingly.
"I'm not your enemy Riddick. Unpin me and we will fight together and talk later." I said. When he refused to move I hit him in the rib cage. He staggered back in shock.
"How will you see?" he asked as he walked over to the candles.
"I don't need to." I said with a smirk taking off the cloak. Men began to open the doors slowly.
"You're not afraid of the dark are you?" Riddick asked as he extinguished the candles. I closed my eyes and heard everything that was going on. Clothes ruffling, guns moving as well as cocking, I could even hear the fire from the candles dissipating as well as Riddick's skin slightly burning.
When the guards began to shoot Riddick ducked and I charged the closest human tackling them to the ground. The guard didn't get up I went to the next person, dodging bullets left and right. Before we knew it there was only one guard left. Riddick kicked him out of the room through the doors. Riddick walked out as I grabbed my cloak and followed behind. Imam was outside of the door with a knife to him. The man that had Imam must have been new to this sort of thing. At the sight of Riddick he dropped his knife and ran away.
"You mentioned her." Riddick said. I went to move forward to Imam as he stopped me with his arm.
"She uh—" Imam began as he glanced at me. "She went looking for you."
"That's what I assumed she did when she knocked me out and left." I said. Riddick looked down at me. "We argued and fought. She left. It was then confirmed when we got word."
"People died. She went to prison. After she left." Imam said. "I-I don't remember where. But it was a world so hot you couldn't survive on the surface-"
"Creamatoria." I said. Riddick looked down at me. "I may have never been caught, but I do know my prisons." Riddick looked upset and sad at the same time.
"Why didn't you go after her?" Riddick asked.
"I wanted to. But I had a job to do. A job that wasted 5 years of my life I might add. I'm gonna kill that Elemental." I said not really meaning it but still mad at the facts of it all.
"Young Jack. She thought of you as her older brother. She worshiped you." Imam said.
"You were supposed to watch her." Riddick said as he took my arm and we walked past Imam.
"She never forgave you for leaving her when she needed you the most. After Deja had died and everything on that planet-" Imam said.
"Deja's not dead now is she?" Riddick turned to Imam tightening his grim on my arm. "Besides she needed to stay away from me and Deja. You all do."
"Riddick." I said. "If I would've known what she would do I would've gone after her. It was out of my control. I was still weak." Riddick didn't say anything as we continued walking.
"Deja, Riddick." I heard Ziza say from behind us. Riddick stopped moving forward. "Are you guys gonna stop the new monsters now?" She asked. I smiled at her knowing Imam and I had done an excellent job at shielding her from our work. Riddick put on his hood and continued walking into the city. I put mine up as well.
"Start talking." He said.
