Ch 14
"Are we gettin' close?" Jack ask Fry.
Fry was hoping that they were getting close as well she was anxious to get to the skiff."Can we pick up the pace?" She called out to Johns.
Johns got mad at the fact that they weren't pulling the sled he threw his wrote down. They all noticed that they were crossing their own tracks.
"What's this?" Shazza looked confused why would they cross their own tracks.
Johns wanted to know what was going on so he would have to read it and asked. "You want to tell me what's goin' on?"
Fry explain to Jack and Shazza. "We crossed our own tracks."
Imam wanted to know. "Why have we circled?
Are we lost?" He was becoming impatient with a man leading them.
"Listen." Riddick how to make everybody be quiet but Imam kept talking.
"Do you even know where we are?"
"Listen!" Riddick said louder to drive his point across. Everyone listen to the sound of fluttering of wings screeching of hungry creatures hiding in the darkness. "Canyon ahead. I circled once to buy some time to think."
"I think we should go now." Imam suggested wanting to be done with his great hojj. Having already lost all of his acolytes.
Riddick shrugged "I don't know about that. That's death row up there." He turning start walking over to Jack. "Especially with my girl's back bleeding again."
"You gotta be kidding me." Typical Johns thought the girl was going to get them all killed.
She looked over her shoulder trying to see her back. "It must've reopened back there when Imam got me out of the way from the creature.
"Here let me take a look." Shazza grab the first aid kit off the sled hoping there will be enough to patch Jack up one more time.
Shazza patched her up Jack look down feeling like it was her fault but they weren't going to make it. "You could've left me at the ship."
Riddick turn around to give Jack some privacy while he talked to Imam. "They've been nose-open for her ever since we left. In case you haven't noticed, they go off blood."
"Look. This is not gonna work. We're gonna have to go back." Fry was watching as her plan unraveled they weren't going to make it.
"What did you say?" Johns furious he never wanted to leave the crash site, he wanted to wait until the sun came up. He pointed his finger at fry. "You're the one who got us out here and made us into sled dogs."
"I was wrong. I admit it." Fry felt defeated. "Can we just get back to the ship?"
"I don't know, Carolyn. Nice breeze. Wide-open space. I'm starting to enjoy fucking self." Johns seemed to be going a little crazy with rage, for in the back of his mind he knew he was going to die, and he would do anything not to die.
"Are you high again? Just listen to yourself, Johns."
"No, you're right. What's to be afraid of? My life's just a steaming pile of meaningless shit anyhow.
So I say, "Mush on." The canyon's only meters and after that it's skiff city. So why don't you butch up, and add more gauze on this fucking kid, and let's go.
"She's the captain. Listen to her." Imam tried to diffuse the fighting.
"Listen to her?" Johns sneered at Fry. "When she was willing to sacrifice us all."
"What's he talking about?" Jack and Shazza asked at the same time.
"This does not help us." Fry knew what John was going to tell, and if he did she would lose all of their trust.
"During the crash she tried to blow the passenger cabin, kill us in our sleep." He said just what she feared he would say.
"Shut your mouth!" She didn't want to hear any more.
"We're fucking disposable. We're just walkin' ghosts to you?"
"Shut your fucking blowhole!" Fry lunged at Johns hoping he would just stop talking. She had regretted every thinking about pulling that lever.
Johns grab her on and threw her to the ground. She had felt sick with herself about the whole pulling lever, it should have been her that died not Owens he was the better half of their soul.
"Fine!" Imam pointed out. "You made your point. We can all be scared."
"How much do you weigh now?" Johns sneered down at Fry. "The verdict's in. The light moves forward." He looked up at Imam, then one of his torches on his leg and headed up to Riddick.
Notes: okay to answer Resisting-Moonlight's question yes there will be sequels I'm planning on doing one for every movie. So that will be a total of four stories. I will be taking breaks in between stories.
