thank you to every one for the helpful advice!
"Now give me the keys." Fry said in a deadly calm voice. A few seconds passed as the two squared off, neither wanting to back down. Fry feared that johns might see through her facade. Finally he handed over the keys.
"Fine. But if she attacks you, you're on your own." Nodding her head fry heads back down the broken ship to release aria. Watching fry's retreating back john's whispers.
"She's going to be harder to control."
Hearing the jingle of keys fallowed by light footsteps I lift my head as fry enter the room. I watched as she walked behind me unlocking my chains. With a chink they fell off onto the steal grating of a floor. Bringing my hands in front of me I rub my wrists as the bruises faded away. Standing up I watch fry walk up to me crossing her arms.
"You better not make me regret this." She said trying to keep up her tuff facade. Smiling I answer
"I won't" uncrossing her arms she says
"Well we better join the others. There about to leave" With that she turns and leaves the room with me in fallowing close behind.
Stepping into the dry sand I take a deep breath, closing my eyes.
"Aria!" I hear jack shout my name causing my eyes to snap open. I see her run across the sand to me as fast as her legs could carry her. Slamming into me full force she causes me to stumble. I catch myself on the wall as her arms snake around my midsection locking behind me. Jack hides her face in my chest holding on for dear life. Smiling I place my hand on her back.
"I wasn't gone that long." I say trying to lighten her mood. My voice causes her to look up at my face. Seeing her fear I rap my arms around her smaller form trying to comfort her. Leaning down to her ear I whisper
"Don't worry I'll never leave you." Feeling her arms tighten I wait for her to let go. When she does she smiles at me
"I knew fry would let you go." Smiling I lift my left hand and ruff her hair.
"So tell me what I missed." I said knowing she needed the distraction.
"Well this planet has 3 suns." She says pointing in their direction. Nodding I fallow her hand to see a blue sun at sunrise and a red sun at sunset.
"Come on." I hear the voice of johns. Turning I see fry, johns, Imma, and his sons getting ready to leave. I smiling at jack I give her a reassuring pat on her shoulder. Dropping my hand I head over to fry.
"Wait!" jack yells causing me to stop and turn back to her. Taking a pack off her shoulder and handing it to me she says
"Here, Shazza made these. It will help you breath out there. " placing it in my hands. Looking at I smile at her sentiment.
"Here" I say handing it back to her.
"You will need this more than I will." Patting her on the shoulder one last time.
Lose rocks crunched under my feet as blue sunlight on my cascades down my back. A light breeze kissed my warm face, and dance through my brown locks. As promised I stayed close to fry, as johns took us through a canyon.
Riddick's sent was everywhere, coming from all directions making it difficult to pinpoint him. Staying on guard, I place myself in the middle of fry, Imma, and his sons. He said he wouldn't hurt them, but who knew what else was out here. Felling eyes on me I looked up to my right to catch a glimpse of Riddick. He was circling us, waiting for the right moment to come in for the kill. Messing with us Riddick let a few rocks slip down the side of the cliff walls, making johns jump and run up the wall.
Just like an alpha to play on his prays fears. He was more of a wolf than I gave him credit for. Another slight breeze picks up his sent hitting me full force with its promise, making my head swim. My knees start to feel weak. Damn my hormones. I try fanning my face with my hand hoping his sent would move on. Instead it dances around me with its erotic song. Just when all hope of fighting its call seemed lost Imma walked by me slaying my temptations with his sent. Sage, just like the priests would burn. Hearing his sons yelling, I watch as they throw rock while Imma explains to fry it is to keep the devil at bay.
Maybe they should be throwing rocks at me. Sighing I sit down, close my eyes, and put my hands behind my head. We would be waiting a wail for johns. Hearing footsteps heading my way I open one eye to see fry.
"Yeah" I say waiting for her orders like a good little soldier. I hear her shuffle her feet as she decided something in her head. Knelling in front of me she said
"I'm going to look for johns. Look after Imma and his sons for me." Opening both eyes and drop my hands.
"You're going to trust me." I say awaiting her answer. Sighing, she nodes her head.
"You haven't given me a reason not to." She answers looking me right in the eyes.
"Fair enough, be careful" I say leaning back getting comfortable. Closing my eyes again I listen to fry as she climbed the cliff in search of johns. Once she was at the top it didn't take long for her foot steps to fade. Stretching out my legs I get comfortable with just the sound of rocks hitting more rock. Taking a deep breath all I smell is sage again. Heavy footsteps walk up to me stopping on my left side. I open my left eye to watch the holy me sit next to me. If only he knew he was next to a monster. I smirk at that thought.
"If you're going to preach to me, save it." I say startling Imma. Ringing his hands together he asks
"How do you know I'm going to preach as you call it." Smirking I open both eyes, sit up, and look at him.
"I heard you talking to fry. I'm not deaf Priest." I say listening to his sons playing. Placing his hands in his lap he smiles
"Child, Allah blessed you. Zeke told me how you picked him up with one hand. So I ask you" Imma reaches out grabbing both of my hands in his
"Protect my sons." He asks. Shock passes over my face. Pulling my hands out of his I look away.
"I can't promise that." I say standing up and walk over to the other side of the canyon. A single tear falls down her check only to evaporate before it can reach the ground.
I'm thinking of changing the story up some more. I want Aria to be able to save at least 2 people. let me know who you want that to be! or if i should just fallow the move! Let me know! Thanks for reading And as always let me know what you think!
