Walking down the hall, struggling to pull on a shirt as she walked, Nightshade was getting angry. What the hell did he mean when he said that she reminded him of someone?
Nightshade reached the cockpit area and saw Riddick sitting in one of the seats and she knew that he knew she was there.
In fury, she placed a hand on the back of the chair and spun in around.
Riddick was surprised at her strength, but hiding it of course.
Nightshade looked Riddick straight in the eyes.
"What the hell did you mean by that?"
Riddick was still surprised at the look, the anger, and the animalism in her eyes.
"When you calm down THEN I will tell you?"
Nightshade took the seat next to Riddick and huffed a few minutes.
Smiling inward Riddick turns toward Nightshade and scooted back in the seat and stared at her. God, she was beautiful and a fierce killer. Riddick couldn't help, but to think, "Why do I feel an allegiance to her?" That was a question that even Riddick could not fathom an answer.
Nightshade just sat there patiently awaiting Riddick's answer.
"You remind me of someone that I used to know a long time ago. She also was a killer when she needed to be. I helped to train her and expand her skills. You just remind me a lot of her." Riddick's look turned dark and inward and Nightshade knew that it was time the subject changed.
Nightshade hmmmm…ed and turned to look at the control panel. Riddick must have changed the settings because these were coordinates that she did not recognize.
"So.. where are we going?" Nightshade asked.
Riddick rubbed his head and looked at the panel as well.
"If you want to finish this correctly, then you need to hide out for awhile and then finish the job." Riddick stated matter-of-factly.
Nightshade smiled and lay back in the chair, stretching out. She felt Riddick's eyes on her and again she smiled.
Suddenly sitting up Nightshade looked at Riddick and asked him.
"Will you teach me?"
Riddick didn't act with surprise, but was very much surprised.
"What do I have to teach you that you might already know?" he asked.
Nightshade shrugged and cocked her eyebrows.
"I don't know, but there are definitely things that I could teach you."
With that being said, Nightshade got up out of the chair and headed to the cargo area.
Riddick cocked his head and sat there for a minute, contemplating if to follow or not. Slightly grinning Riddick got up from the chair and followed Nightshade.
As Riddick entered the cargo area, Nightshade was hiding behind freight and jumped out from behind it.
Riddick spun around and managed to grab a hold of her arm and spun to pin her on the floor.
"Good, but not good enough." Riddick growled.
Smiling Nightshade wrapped her legs around his neck and managed to pull him
backwards off of her.
She flipped herself upright as she pulled him down and winked at him.
"What do you think about that?" Nightshade whispered.
Riddick was getting into the play and took his arm around her and managed to pull a shiv from somewhere Nightshade never saw. It was homemade and very sharp and it was at her throat.
"Still good, but not good enough." Riddick replied.
Nightshade looked defeated for the moment and she put her hands up and moved up off of him.
Riddick smiled at Nightshade, he would have to be careful with her, because she may be more dangerous than him.
As Riddick stood up to brush himself off, Nightshade whirled around and threw a knife and it made a thunk as it sank into the ship, just an inch away from his head. Riddick looked back at Nightshade and glared at her.
"I suggest that you do not do that again?" he warned.
Nightshade had a smug look as she walked off.
Riddick looked down and realized that he was a little turned on by her.
Damn, he thought what the hell is going on with me.
As Nightshade walked down the hall she stopped and leaned against a wall and closed her eyes. Her heart was pounding and she was majorly turned on. She was surprised Riddick didn't comment on it because she was sure that he could smell it, she could smell his.
Nightshade went back to her room and stripped down to nothing and climbed back into bed.
Riddick got himself under control and went back to the cockpit and made himself comfortable in the chair and tried to clear his mind.
He closed his eyes and felt her skin under his hands, the softness of her throat, the rapid heartbeat, and her smell. She still smelled like pears. He smiled as he fell into a light sleep and finally Nightshade went from his mind.
