"Serena, wake up, wake up!" Said a small voice of a little girl. Her eyes opened to see a familiar sight, two small children running around a small ship, her younger sisters. She looked up, her father standing at the front of the ship. "We found New Mecca!" He said smiling at her, pointing towards a small planet.
'I must be dreaming, my family...they are dead' she thought to herself, sitting up and walking towards her father. She was reliving a moment, a moment that would change very thing forever. "Oh wow, New Mecca, I didn't think we would ever find it" she said with sarcasm in her voice.
"Oh now Serena! Be happy, we will finally settle down, you can go to school, and live a normal life, no one will ever have to know we found you. No one will have to know you're not, well you know"
"Say it! I'm not a human, I'm a furyan, a defiant animal, that's all I will ever be, and that's all you see me as." She said towards her father, or whoever he was, that found her laying in an alley way bundled in a blanket left in a box, left to die.
"Serena please, try to have a positive outlook, think of your sisters" he said pointing at the two little girls playing with small metal toys. "Be a role model for them, teach them how to live on that planet and survive rather than fall down and not survive" he said to her.
"Sure, I'll teach them" she said smiling an evil smile towards him. 'How dare he use them against me, they aren't even related to me in any way!' She thought, looking down at the two little brats that played with the metal toys, the little brats that ran her life since the day they came into this world. 'Landing on new Mecca? Too bad the ship won't hold up' she thought to herself watching the ship descend towards the planet surface, close enough for her to jump and survive but still hard enough of a fall to kill them all. She grabbed a gun, and shot it at the window, she could see the glass shattering and the two little girls be sucked from their spots out the window.
She tied herself to a pole on the ship and saw the man who claimed to be her father. "Serena! Please! Help me" he said holding onto the edge of the ships hole, and reaching a hand out for her.
"I told you, I'm no human! A furyan, defiant to the end!" She said grabbing his hand and throwing him from the ship. She could hear him scream, then silence. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she was free from them.
She opened her eyes and saw herself laying on a table in a dark ship, Riddick sitting in a chair holding a small green chip, blinking. "Riddick, Riddick?!" She said, making sure he wasn't asleep.
"I'm awake, I'll always be awake" he said lifting his head to look at her. "Gotta tracker team on our ass now, thanks to you getting shot like that. Now, we are gunna play by some ground rules. First you're gunna start telling me things, things like if you get fuckin' shot, second, you talk in your sleep, it keeps me up, mind keeping it down, third, and this is the most..."
"The most important, you're gunna start acting like you actually give a shit more than you do about how dangerous I am, isn't that right Riddick? What you were going to say?" She interrupted him looking at him. "You can't start telling me what to do, when you won't do them to me"
"You didn't tell me you were shot, you could've died" he said
"Aww is the big bad riddick afraid to lose someone in his life?" She said making a sad face and talking in a baby tone to him.
"What was it you said, a tool for my personal use? Right?...you're mine now, I'd like to keep you alive, you're no use to me dead" he said looking at her, obviously ignoring her annoying tone in her voice, saying that he felt a small twinge in his stomach.
"Yours? Nice to know I'm owned by a murderer, that's exactly what I wanted to be in life." She said getting up and walking towards him, she was done with him trying to run everything, trying to be the dominant one. Riddick ignored her words and looked down at where the twinge came from, it was an unknown feeling.
"So what do you want me to do master?" She said joking at him and bowing at his feet. He looked up at her, seeing her bow to him, even in a how made him think of that moment he saw the entire hall of necromongers bow to his feet. "Threshold take us to the threshold!" He could hear them saying that, could see everyone's faces. "You are The Lord Marshall now" he could hear the whispers. "Riddick...Riddick...Riddick!" He opened his eyes and saw Serenes face, close to his.
"You fell asleep" she said pulling the goggles from his face. "You talk even louder in your sleep than I do." She laughed. He looked at her. Her smile was beautiful, she was flawless, perhaps even more than a tool.
Riddick grabbed her head and pulled her into him, his lips pressing against hers. That split second, both were shocked by what just happened, Riddick yelling at himself in his head to stop, Serene, her eyes wide and she was screaming in her head. Neither could pull away, it seemed so right. Both relaxed into the kiss, feeling passion, and each other's breath as they slowly moved side to side kissing slowly. Everything seemed silent, and perfect, it was only a few moments later the ship quaked and made both of them fly across the ship.
"Red alert, red alert, ship under attack" the ships computer voice yelled out, alarms and flashing lights nearly blinding them. "What's happening riddick?!"
"The Mercs, they tracked this fuckin' thing, get ready, we have a fight coming, feel like playing who's the better killer?" He laughed grabbing and blade and giving her a look, this was going to be intense.
