I AM SO SORRY!! life caught up to me with a vengeance! It was NOT a pretty site!

The Arabic boys came in speaking something she couldn't understand and looking at her expectantly, she ignored them and walked out. She looked up at the sky, to see the rings of the nearby planet outlined on the horizon, the whole group of people were standing there looking at it.

"What are my eyes seeing?" asked Paris in disbelief and for once Jack had no smart come-back.

The planet's outline was swiftly coming into view after the ring and Johns walked out of the container, "That sand cat's solar," he stated.

Jack ran to the sand cat and jumped in the drivers seat, switching the solar power on the engine whirred to life, she put it in gear as everyone jumped on.

"Where's Riddick," Johns asked his words still slightly slurred.

"Leave him. He wouldn't wait for us," said Paris trying to look fierce.

Then Jack heard a thud and the sand cat rocked slightly, "Thought we'd lost you," Paris said and sat down hurriedly. Johns ran into the Container quick and Jack took off, he came out just as she was passing by and jumped on, with help from Riddick. Jack drove as fast as the sand cat would allow, which admittedly wasn't very fast, she took the bone yard at full tilt knocking down skeletons and pummeling the passengers in the back.

When they reached the crash site the planet was almost half way to the sun, everyone bailed from the sand cat.

Paris ran wandered off in the other direction of the group, "Hey, where are you going?" asked Jack from the drivers seat.

"I'm just going to get a few things, I'll only be a few minutes," he said and held out his arm as if to say 'stay'. "You wouldn't leave without me, would you?"

Jack shook her head at him and he went running, idiot, she thought. She shifted gear and reversed up to the door where the cells were going to come out of. The solar converter was starting to slow down now because of the darkness, Jack looked at it worriedly, one of the Arab boys started to wipe the dust off hoping to speed it up. The cells came out all at the same time, Riddick the only one to carry two at a time, by that time however the planet's rings had his the sun and it was getting even darker than before.

The solar converter stoped all together, and Jack swore. A terrible sound came from the hills and the group as a one looked up, the wind started to blow and a wailing was heard.

"How many are there?" asked Johns

The strange features off to the distance blurred as creatures shot out of them, making a tornado formation in the air.

"Beautiful," whispered Riddick with reverence.

"Allah," whispered Imam.

"People, just a suggestion. Perhaps you should flee!" yelled Paris from the cabin.

"Let's go," yelled Jack as she hoped out of the sand cat and made a run for it.

"Come on, run," said Imam upon passing Johns.

A trail formed of creatures behind the running group, "Come on," yelled Paris from the cabin.

"Get in," yelled Jack pushing in one of Imam's apprentices. Jack looked back at Riddick and Ali, they had fallen behind the group quite a ways.

"Get down," Pairs ordered from beside her. They jumped over a hill and rolled to the bottom, a small wave of the creatures flew over them. Ali waited until they passed, then when he didn't hear them coming again got up and ran again the creatures caught him half way to the cabin and tore into him. Riddick rolled onto his back to watch the creatures passing over him, waiting until they had really flown off to get up. He stood and looked around then dusted off his hands and walked to the cabin towards the others.

"Please I really think we should go inside," said Paris in a flat tone. "We have to be inside to be able to close the door. Come one lets go." With his last urgent plea they finally started to move inside, the wailing started again out by the odd structures, but this time it was different, deeper almost. Riddick pulled his goggles off to watch the structures crumble, his unique purple vision seeing the lighter spots of life come out of the crumbles.

"What is it Riddick? What is it now?" asked Jack coming to stand next to him.

"Like I said," he said staring transfixed in the distance, "it ain't me you gotta worry about."

With the last flash of light they all were inside with the doors locked tight against the creatures.

So this time try reviewing, seriously I had two reviews on the last chapter!!
