(Luna's Pov – 10 Hours Later)
I sat in the cave with Kyra and Nitro. Neither of us spoke because she was still trying to come to terms that Riddick was coming after us after all this time. I sat watching Kyra in the dark. We kept candles for when we truly needed them but other than that we sit in the dark. Its not like either of us or Nitro need light to see. Kyra jumped when she heard the lift start up at the top. I could hear that Riddick was being brought down by Toombs. I smirked when I cut my eyes to Kyra.
"What?" She asked in a cold tone but I could see the fear in them.
"Just wondering what he will think of the grown up Jack?" I smirked when her face grew red.
"I ain't little any more." She hissed as she stood. "Should we give him a nice welcome?" I could see the glee in her eyes.
I shrugged signing for Nitro to stay. "He'll be lowered by the wench." He whimpered but stay put. "I wonder how he'll get off?" I heard Kyra chuckle. "Something funny?" I asked as I slipped on my goggles. Kyra had hers on already.
"Yeah," Kyra smirked as she turned and headed to the ledge of the cave. "The fact that you still have the hots for Riddick." She then moved back and took a running leap. I hissed at her but only heard her chuckle.
I walked out of the cave and noticed she was on her little spot with her chains. We kept the under ground monkeys from coming out and stealing stuff from the new guys. Well, if we felt like it. Everyone in the hole not to mess with the Devil Twins. Kyra knelt down as one of her knees were resting on the ground, while she had the foot touching with the other. I crouched down and waited for them to lower the newest prisoner. It didn't take long before the metal doors opened and a man with black combat boots, black cargo pants and a tank top that looked like a size to small. Of course his goggles were still in the same place that they always have been. I smirked as he was lowered pass us without looking to either side. The guards really knew how to play my game. Last time they let a prisoner see either Kyra or myself, we gutted them through the bars. I thought it was rather funny.
'They're getting ready.' Kyra signed as she looked down at the bottom of the hole. 'Looks like Riddick knows how to get off the rope.' She pointed down to where the rope stopped.
I peeked over the side and was rather surprised that Riddick was twisting himself around the rope until he got far enough off up then he let himself start to twist downward and then snap the metal cuffs that they hooked the rope onto. He landed on his feet and I watched with a smirk as the lower inmates rushed him as quickly as they could. I stood with a couple of shiv's I made and readied them as Kyra grabbed her chain. I watched as she flung it around until she had enough momentum then let it fly and hit one of the guys behind Riddick in the face killing him by breaking his neck. I then noticed another two coming up behind Riddick, while his eyes were locked on Kyra.
I flicked my wrist and the two blades went on either side of his head and lodged into the guys foreheads. I chuckled as I saw his head snap to me. Kyra took that time to leave. I watched as he turned his head back around to look where Kyra was standing but she was already gone. I then took the time to disappear myself. I went into the cave and then slipped into a crack in the wall. I walked myself down until I found the opening I was looking for. Since I had been here for three years I found all the little spaces. The biggest was what was considered Jail. I could scoff at that. It was a world where the only rules were the strongest survived. As I crawled through the hole I found a hand waiting to me at the end. It was Kyra's.
"About time you get here." Kyra chuckled as she pulled me out. "I was thinking you were a goner."
I shook my head as I brushed myself off. "Naw, just took me a while to get through the cracks." I then noticed something out of the corner of my eyes. "Duck!" I yelled blocking a blow from Tran.
Tiger had Kyra in his arms with her back to his chest. She was trying everything she could to get out of his arms but I knew it would do no good. Tran had his hand around my throat as his other was feeling me up. I knew the fucker was going to die now.
"Let me go Tran." I warned him. "If you don't, you wont like the results."
I saw Kyra slipped a shiv from her mouth and wink. I had a shiv in my boot but I would need to get it up to my hand before I could grab it. Snarling, I brought my knee back and brought it forward with everything I had. Tran was pushed backwards and his hand dropped from my throat to his groin. I smirked as I grabbed my blade and pressed it against his family jewels. I cut my eyes to Tiger, Mike and Luis.
"Let her go or I'll castrate him." I snarled as I narrowed my eyes pressing even harder, causing Tran to let out a blood curling scream because I smelled the copper scent of blood. I must have cut him.
"DO IT!" Tran yelled. "Fucking do it!"
I didn't know what he meant but when Mike walked in front of Kyra I knew just what he meant. I growled as I thrusted my blade into his balls then brought it out and grabbed Luis by the shirt and pressed my shiv to his throat.
"One more chance. Let Her Go!" I ordered to Tiger, who was holding Kyra. "I will kill him." I promised them both. Kyra had cut Tiger's arm with the blade from her mouth but it didn't faze him. The blood was dripping down and onto her clothing.
"Then you'll be here longer then 20 years." Mike taunted as he slid one of his hands up Kyra's leg.
I then noticed that Riddick was standing there with a soup cup. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I snapped slicing Luis throat and dropped him.
"Thought you might need some help." He sipped his cup as he glanced to Kyra.
"We don't need your help." Kyra snapped as she twisted her boot and a blade shot out.
She kicked forward and caught Mike in the balls with the blade. Kyra then leaned as far forward as she could then brought her head back and caught Tiger under the chin. I smirked as I flipped the shiv around and tossed it causing it to stick out of Mike's right hand, that touched Kyra. Kyra at this time was beating the fuck out of Tiger. I kept my eyes on Mike.
"You really should have not touched my sister." I swatted down eye level. "Because now I have to kill you."
I just smirked as I grabbed the shorter shiv from my other boot and stabbed the Mike in the eye. When I turned around I noticed that Kyra had try and take on Riddick. He now had her pinned to the bars of the cell with one arm underneath her and the other pressed against her chest.
"Watch who your talkin' to, Jack." Riddick growled as he pressed against her harder. I smirked.
"What did you do now, Kyra?" I asked leaning against the back wall.
Kyra spat to the side as she flipped her hair off her face then cut her eyes to me. Her goggles were still on just like mine. "He thought he could boss me around." She then glared back at Riddick. "He must have me confused for someone else."
I could see the glint of her blade. I nodded slightly as I watched her kick her leg up and knock the light out. I shook my head as she disappeared and jumped off the ledge grabbing onto the rope and swinging over. I walked by Riddick with a small sway knowing he would be watching me. Guv was also out looking at with a worried expression. I grinned letting him know that I was alright. He just nodded as he turned and headed back to his cell. I could hear the guards getting ready to let the hounds out. I grinned as I turned and found Riddick smiling at me, as he leaned against the entrance of the cell.
"Just remember Richard B. Riddick, this is a whole new playing field." I raised my brow as I crouched ready to jump back but I know that Riddick would believe I was going to jump him. "and both Kyra and I are a new breed of animal."
I then flung myself backwards and twisted just as I was to the ground. I landed with a soft thud and ran across the cracks in the bottom of the hole where the sulfur was collected from. I then leap and grabbed onto the rocks. I climbed up with ease, because of years of practice. I pulled myself up on the ledge and turned around to see that Riddick was standing where I had been looking at me. I knew that he had followed me but very few people can climb all the way up. Kyra has her own way to get here just like me. I didn't say anything as I turned and walked into the cave where Kyra was holding Nitro. Just as I entered the cave I heard the guards call for Dinner Time. I only grinned knowing that Killer and Ruby would know where to go because Kyra and I gave them two apiece.
(Riddick's Pov – Just Before Luna Jumped)
I was shocked when I watched Luna jump off the side of the ledge but I spotted her as she climbed up the other side. I kept my eyes on her until she turned and looked back at me. I wondered why she was acting like this.
"I see that you know Luna and Kyra." Guv said walking to my side.
"You can say that." I told him as I kept my eyes on the place Luna disappeared to. "What's up there?" I pointed to the spot where Luna went.
"The Twin Devils Lair." He looked at the spot where I could barely see a opening. "Luna and Kyra are well known for their companion. In fact, I believe you are about to met Nitro's mother and father." He turned and headed to his cell.
I stood there for a moment until I heard one of the guards yell for dinner time. I smirked because I knew that Crematoria had what some called Hell Hounds but I knew what they were. They were the same scent as of the hounds on the Black Widow. Alisa's ship. I thought it fitting since that is what she was. I saw a water fall that supplied the prisoners fresh water and stepped through it and sat down behind the fall. I knew that if they were what I thought they were then I had no need to worry. I was shocked that the Quasi-Dead's were rather forth coming with memories I never thought possible. I was also told that Luna was not only the last Furyan female but was the last of her line just like I was. I made a decision then and there that I would do anything to make sure Luna and Kyra both were safe.
I spotted a dark red hound heading my way and stopped right in front of me where I was hidden behind the water fall. I slowly reached up and pulled my goggles off as I saw the hound lean forward and stick its head all the way through. He started to growl but when I kept staring into its own silver orbs it must have noticed because the red color faded and a darker color took its place. It must have noticed that I was an alpha. When I heard a whistle, the hound turned and walked away from me heading to the cell where the guards were killed. I slowly stood and stepped through the waterfall and noticed that one of the hounds were on the other ledge.
"Interesting." I murmured as I watched the other show up and look at me then turned back to the cave.
"They only obey Luna." Guv told me from his cell. "When she first arrived, the pup was let loose in here with the other prisoners. Luna took him and is raising him because his mother and father are unable. It seems that she has seen these creatures before. You were very lucky that Ruby didn't tear your throat out."
"Ruby?" I turned my eyes to the cell. Guv nodded.
"The female is Ruby." He smiled. "The male is Killer then their pup is Nitro. Luna said they were Furyan Hounds."
I nodded turning my eyes back to the cave entrance. I turned and headed to the cell where the guards body were left and found that there was only blood spots left. It seems that Ruby and Killer were hungry. When I heard a whistle from the guards station, I moved to the side as Ruby and Killer came out from a small hole. As they passed me Ruby nudged my leg towards the hole. Killer growled but his skin was black.
"What is your problem?" I growled at the female.
The male moved in front of her and turned red as he bared his teeth. I raised my goggles and narrowed my eyes at him. He didn't back off as he walked forward and pushed me towards the hole. His growl was getting louder but when the second bell rang they snorted at me then turned and ran to the place where they would let in their cages. I could hear the other inmates speaking but that wasn't what caught my attention. I could hear a voice from the hole. I stepped back and noticed that it was Kyra. She crawled out without looking at me as she rose up, brushing her clothes off.
"Luna wants to speak with you." She told me as she walked by without looking at me. I noticed that she had goggles on but that wasn't what caught my attention. It was the glowing behind the goggles that surprised me.
"You got your eyes shined." I said looking over my shoulder at Kyra.
Kyra paused for a moment before looking over her shoulder raising her goggles. "Yes, I did." She then turned lowering them back down. "But I'm more like you in that retrospect. The light hurts my eyes worse then before. I only did a partial shine job but got the full benefit." I heard the last word as she reached out of my hearing range.
I frowned as I turned and knelt down. Crawling in holes was not on my list of things to do for fun.
