Dark Covers All: Chapter 10:

Riddick stood at the front of the group Imam was to his right and Shinku stood next to Jack with Ares perched on her right shoulder.

Riddick than began to explain," Canon Ahead. I circled once to buy me some time to think."

"I think we should go now." Imam suggested.

"I don't know about that. That's death row up there, especially with the girl bleeding." Riddick replied.

John then whipped his head to look at Riddick with disbelief, "What? What the fuck you talking about? They're not cut."

"Not them. Her." Riddick said turning and looking at Jack.

That was when everyone looked at Jack except Shinku who gently pulled Jack to her and rubbed her arm with her hand in a motherly manner.

"You've gotta be kidding me," was all Johns said.

Jack started to tear up before she said," I just thought it'd be better if people took me for a guy. You could've left me behind so that was I didn't tell you."

Jack leaned into Shinku some more as Shazza and Fry and the boys went came over to her as well to try give her more comfort.

Imam quietly turned around to the front again when Riddick said," They have been nose open for ever since we left. In case you haven't noticed they go off blood."

It was then that Fry stood up and said," Look. This not gonna work. We are gonna have to go back."

John's looked at her angrily before asking," What did you say? You are the one who got us out here in the first place and turned us into sled dogs."

"I was wrong, I admit it, Okay? Can we just get back to the ship?" Fry replied.

"I don't know, Carolyn. Nice breeze. Wide-open space. I'm starting' to enjoy my fuckin sell out here." Jack says sarcastically.

"What? Are you high again? Just listen to yourself, Johns" Fry said with an demanding voice.

"No, no. Your right, Carolyn. What's to be afraid of? My life's just a streaming pile of meaningless shit anyhow! So I say mush on. The canyons only a couple hundred meters, and then after that it's skiff city, so why don't bunch up stuff a cork in that fuckin kid and let's go." Johns yelled causing the children to crowd around Shinku.

Shinku began to grind her teeth because of the bitter hatred for what was to come growing inside her. Shinku gently nudge the kids over to Imam which they got the hint and went over to him leaving a light near Shinku. Shinku then pulled out her guns that strapped to her hips before moving them to the front of her legs and began to tap them on her upper legs.

"She is the captain. We should listen to her." Imam said calmly.

"I agree with Imam here." Shazza said putting her input in.

Riddick said nothing, but looked over at Shinku who he could tell that she was really pissed off by the way she smelled and by the she was looking up at the darkness patting her guns on her legs.

"Listen to her? When she was so willing to sacrifice us all?" Johns said with a slight mock in his voice.

"What does he mean?" Jack asked.

"That does not help us." Fry said before she could say anymore Johns cut her off.

"During the crash, she tried to blow the passenger cabin tried to kill us in our sleep."

"Shut your mouth." Fry cried out

"We are fuckin disposable. We're just walking ghosts to you, aren't we?"

"Shut your fuckin blow hole!" And with that Fry charged at Johns who then knocked her to the ground.

"Fine! Fine! You made your point. We can all be scared." Imam said quickly intervening.

Shazza noticed that Shinku hadn't said anything for awhile and looked over at her. Shazza noticed that Shinku was pissed and wanted to say something until Shinku's iris's looked her way giving her the look that said, don't – say – anything.

"Oh Carolyn, how much do you weigh now?" Johns asked her.

"You done?" Shinku asked Johns with an edge to her voice.

Johns turned to her and noticed her guns in her hands before he could raise his shotgun at her she quickly looked at him.

"Raise that shotgun, Johns it will give all the more reason to kill you. You pathetic piece of shit, you think that just because Fry did something like that and we are going to follow you? You better think the FUCK again, she is a fucking saint compared to you and what I know you would do Johns. Now I am going to walk over to Fry and help her up, you dear Johns are going to keep your fucking hyped up druggy ass mouth shut or I will gladly rip you goddamn heart from you fucking chest and listen to you scream in agony." Shinku growled to him before putting away her guns and walking over to where Fry was and helping her up.

"Thank you." Fry muttered.

Shinku nodded to Fry before saying," Let's get the fuck out of here. My fucking body aches and burns and I am not putting up with anymore shit."

Soon Shinky helped Imam pull the batteries while the boys and Jack stood in between Shazza and Fry. Ares continued to ride on Shinku's shoulder until she told Ares to go to Riddick. Riddick and Johns were up ahead talking about something and thanks to the gift the Queen Raptor gave her she would be able to hear what Ares hears.

Johns was holding one of his flares in his hand," Ain't all of gonna make it."

"Just realized that?" Riddick asked Johns. Riddick noticed that Ares was on his left shoulder nuzzling his cheek.

"Nine of use left. If you could make it through the canyon and just lose one, that'd be quite a feat, huh?" Johns said.

"Not if I am the one." Riddick replied.

"What if you're one in eight?" Johns asked.

They both stopped at looked around when they heard one the creatures' screeching.

"I'm listening." Riddick replied.

"What are they doing up there?" Jack asked worriedly.

"Talking about the canyon, I suppose." Imam replied.

"I highly doubt those two would talk about the canyon civilly those two fuckers are up to something. What do think, Shinku?" Shazza asked looking at her.

"You got that right Shazza I am listening in on their conversation through Ares. And one of those fuckers are going to die." Shinku growled out.

"How can you-," Fry asked her.

"I'll tell you when we get the skiff." Shinku replied before going back to listening to their conversation.

"Battlefield doctors decide who live and dies. It's call triage." Johns explained.

"Kept calling it murder when I did it," Riddick replied.

"Either way, either way I figured it's something you can grab onto." Johns said.

"Sacrifice play. Hack up the body, leave it at the start of the canyon like a bucket of bait."

When Shinku heard this, her face changed into one of pure rage at what they were talking about, but she knew she had listen to them finish their conversation and wait to strike.

"Trawl with it. You got extra cable on the sled. We drag the body 40, 50 feet behind us." Johns suggested.

"Nice embellishment." Riddick replied.

"Well, I don't wanna feed 'em. I just wanna keep 'em off out scent." Johns explained.

"So which one caught you eye?" Riddick asked as he turned around to face the others. That was when he noticed that she was hunched over slightly like a lioness ready to kill. Riddick made eye contact with Shinku that let her that it was almost time to kill.

"Don't look. Christ what the hell's wrong with you?" Johns asked as gently nudged Riddick forward.

When Riddick turned back around Shinku asked Imam to slow down a bit,

"Shazza, Fry I want you both to take my guns and hold them for me. Imam take my sword and Jack wear my Jacket it will provide you with protection." Shinku said as she handed them her items.

"Shinku why are you giving us theses?" Fry asked.

Shinku looked at Fry with a animalistic look in her eyes and grinned insanely before saying, "It's almost time to play."

"All right enough of this shit. You do the girl and I'll keep the others off your back." Johns said causing Riddick to stop and turn slowly to him.

"It's not too big a job for you, is it?" Johns asked Riddick.

"I'm just wondering if we don't need a bigger piece of bait." Riddick replied.

"Like who?" Johns asked.

As the two men stared at each other Shinku was starting to shift herself into a running position waiting for John or Riddick to move. Riddick quickly lashed out at Johns causing him to let go of the flare before quickly turning and grabbing John's shotgun. The two men began to struggle with the shotgun Fry cried for them to leave and run.

Shinku on the other had just allowed her to be taken over by "other" self and she ran at the two men. When she was within 2 feet of the men she quickly jumped kick Johns in the face causing him to fly back onto his back. However before Shinku could go and start to beat the shit out of him for causing everybody grief Riddick stopped her. Shinku looked at Riddick before growling at him for stopping her.

"He's my prey, stay to the shadows and watch." Riddick growled back.

Shinku looked at him one more time before she backed away until she was in the shadows before she crouched down and watched. Shinku watched at Johns and Riddick circled each other like lions getting ready to fight. Riddick then pulled out one of the crescent shivs and Johns soon followed suit pulling out one of his own.

"One Rule," was all Riddick said.

And with that Riddick struck out at Johns' hand causing him to let go of his shiv. Riddick then used the lights he wore and struck Johns in the face causing him to fall to the ground.

"Stay in the light," Riddick finished as Johns laid on the ground.

Johns then took out his night stick and tripped Riddick causing him to fall on the ground. Johns then proceeded to straddle Riddick and tried to beat him in the face with it. Shinku watched the two men struggle only her focus remained on Riddick. Shinku licked her lips with anticipation on Riddick killing Johns. Riddick was using his left arm to prevent the night stick from hitting him. Riddick then used his left leg and wacked Johns in the head.

Johns fell to the side and grabbed Riddick shiv and tried to stab him, but Riddick prevented him from it.

"Remember that moment," Riddick said before punching Johns off grabbing his shiv and hitting Johns in the back causing a deep gash in Johns back.

John then fell back down to the ground groaning in pain. Johns had begun to crawl toward his shotgun.

All the while Riddick called to him," You should've never taken the chains off, Johns.

Riddick had his light in his hand and as the flare went out he began to merge with the darkness saying," You were one brave fuck before. You were really bad ass. The chains. The gauge. The badge. I told you to ghost me."

While Riddick was talking Johns had reloaded his shotgun and stood up before he looked around for Riddick. Shinku watched with excitement as one of the Raptors ran toward him and impaled him before biting his head off. Shinku grinned at the site, but she then noticed that Riddick was looking at her causing her to lick her lips.

Riddick watched Shinku as she licked her lips, he could smell that the fight somehow triggered the animalistic side of her and he could smell the arousal coming from her. Riddick then walked over to Shinku standing in front of her, Shinku did something that caused Riddick to stiffen and growl in warning.

Shinku had grabbed a hold of Riddick pant legs looking up at him before gently placing her nose on his left leg traveling up slowly as she stood up. When she reached his crotch area she nuzzled it lightly causing Riddick to stiffin and growl in warning. Shinku then stood up as her hands had also followed along his legs slowly and up to his hips.

Riddick the growled once more pushing Shinku into a nearby rock that was to her right, Shinku smiled and began to gently nip at his lips; Riddick couldn't stop himself when he crashed his lips onto hers with brute force. As his hands found her legs he pulled them up around his waist where Shinku locked them behind his back. They both had begun to grind into each other turning the other on more.

Riddick could feel his animalistic side wanting out to do nothing more than to fuck Shinku until she could hardly stand. Shinku on the other hand felt her body call out to Riddick's in need. After that fight her animal instinct told her that he had proven to her that he was an acceptable mate.

As the two pulled away from each other panting Shinku eyed Riddick's lips once and soon they were both lip locked all over again.
