Max couldn't stop the scream that escaped her throat as she felt the talon like claws pierced her shoulder, lifting her up into the air before tossing her towards the pit as the light streamed through the now ripped open doorway. The pain blazed through her shoulder moving to her side and back as she landed on the metal ledge that surrounded the pit that burrowed deep into the surface of the planet.
Max slowly rolled onto her front as she looked around, gripping her shoulder as she saw Dante rip the creatures apart one by one. It was like an art form, the way the massive feline moved, his muscles tensing under his sleek fur as he continuously slaughtered anything that got in his way. His unyielding tail piercing anything in range, smashing through skulls like if they were butter. The carnage he left behind was, in a twisted way, sickly breath-taking especially for the destruction the cat made for the mere seconds since he slashed through the steel door and chains.
Max tore her eyes away from her friend, her protector to search for Ali, but what she found made her close her eyes. Willing away the emotions that arose at the sight of the dead body of the small boy as his blood slowly trickled down and off his body. His eyes were still open in fright looking in her direction, making her turn her head away in disgust at herself and at the carnivorous mindless creatures that took away the innocent life of a child.
Realising that she told Dante to stay with Ace, Max's head shot up towards the entrance searching to make sure he was safe. As her eyes focused on the images outside in the safety of the bright warm sunlight, a contrast to the darkness surrounding her with the harsh cold clinging to her skin, Max became aware that Ace was safe in Shazza's arms as the rest of the group were reaching the entrance.
Max felt another sudden shift in the airwaves, making her roll onto her back to look up and all she could do was watch as the creature swarmed screeching and circling in the air in a chaotic dance, before diving towards her, aiming for the safety of the pit that she was laying next to. The majority of them flew right by her but max saw one deviate from its route slightly so it was closer to where she was laying. Max watched as it stretched its talons out towards her, closing her eyes waiting for the tearing and ripping of her flesh.
Just as the creature's talon wrapped around her upper arm, she was yanked out of its clutches by an equally, if not stronger force. Panting, Max stayed in the warm embrace that she was incased in, with her eyes still shut trying to calm her beating heart.
"Stupid. Might have to keep you on a leash." A deep growl like rumble came from Riddick as he burrowed his head in the crook of Max's neck as he also tried calming his own fears and also the beast within. He had skidded towards her, pulling her into his chest then rolling away just before she was dragged along with the current of creatures. Riddick nuzzled her cheek slightly trying to help calm his mate not wanting to let go in case she would be dragged away from him just like he envisioned as he saw the creature flying down with the intent as clear as day as he sprinted towards her, ignoring the yells and cries of all the other survivors.
"Fuck." Was all Max could say trying to get her head wrapped around the events that had just occurred, not wanting to remember the child's lifeless eyes as his blood drained and covered the ground below his small dead body.
the pair finally left the building as Imam carried his youngest sons body away to be giving a proper burial, while the rest of the survivors inspected the area that the creatures flew to. Dante followed close behind the mated pair with blue blood still dripping from his fangs, tail and paws.
Max watched as the boy in Shazza's arms looked up at her with his beautiful innocent eyes as his arms automatically lifted towards her. Max moved away from the man besides her to pick Ace up out of Shazza's arms, giving the older woman a nod in thanks.
'We should look at those wounds.'Dante said, his body still tense as if he was waiting for more threats to strike at his alpha. Dante couldn't help the blind rage that overtook him at the feeling of Max in pain and in danger. Luckily he could hear the others close by, knowing that Ace was safe before he started slashing at the doors with his claws then moving to kill anything in his way.
"Eh, they're fine, just some scratches." Max answered out loud, not caring that Shazza may question her. Max looked down at the feline before chuckling at the sight.
"You're a mess." Max said still chuckling to herself as she felt a hand brush against her back as Riddick left to join the other's in the coring room.
"There's some water in the building straight across from us, Imam and his boys got it working. Bloody refreshing, might do ya some good to use a bit to clean ya wounds. Don't want them getting infected in this heat mate." Shazza nodded towards the building as she spoke to the young woman in front of her that she had come to respect.
"Cheers." Max said as she watched Shazza walk towards the coring room, making her shudder at the feeling that still lingered on her skin. Turning she walked towards the building that the older woman pointed out as Dante wrapped his blood soaked tail around her leg again, like he was holding a child's hand making sure that they didn't run off and hurt themselves.
Max was playing with Ace's hair, whom was lying on her stomach, while her head was resting on Dante's laying form. She watched as everyone entered the room with worried and scared faces, not moving from her position on the floor towards the back of the room.
"We have the sand cat up and running right? So we'll take that back to the ship and get the power cells that we need, then we come back and get the Fuck off this planet before the eclipse occurs." Fry said mainly to Johns, trying to push some authority over the man.
"We don't know when this eclipse will happen, no point in getting worked up over something that could easily be nothing." Johns said dismissing her, walking over to the water. Max couldn't help but be confused by Fry's words while she wondered where Riddick was.
Fry looked like she was about to argue more about the issue but before she could open her mouth, Johns grabbed her arm leading the blonde woman out of the building, leaving everyone to their own thoughts.
Feeling a warm, dominant presence close by, Max wasn't surprised as she turned her head away from the others to find Riddick sitting against the wall, inches away from Dante and about a metre away from herself. Arching her eyebrow in question wanting to know what had transpired since she came to this building.
"There is an eclipse every 22 years. And lucky us, this is the 22nd year." Riddick sniggered with a small grin on his face, taking way too much pleasure at the thought in Max's opinion.
"Great, we're all doomed." Max said as if she was stating her name or the date. She stretched out her arm and grasped the material of Riddick's pants and held it as she went back to playing with Aces hair while she continued to study the remaining survivors, thinking of all the complications that could, and knowing her luck so far, most likely would occur before they finally made it off this hell like planet.
