She got up from the floor and left, to give Kyra some time to consider. Now that she thought about it, she actually needed some time to consider it herself. What would happen after this? Could she and Kyra really go back to New Meccah and continue like nothing ever happened? She made her way to the waterfall where she sat herself on the ground behind it, away from view. She hid her head in her arms, thinking over what the hell was going on. Thoughts of everything that had happened the past few days came to mind, and she started getting pissed off again. Selena promised herself, that, if she managed to get home in one piece, she would turn her back on Riddick and never look back. However, at the moment it didn't work that way, she realised when she heard heavy footsteps. She knew that sound all too well.
"Go away, Riddick." she mumbled, her face still burried in her arms.
He didn't comply.
"Can't a girl get some fuckin' privacy around here?" she asked, finally lifting her head.
He wasn't wearing his goggles and his beautiful orbs looked back at her.
"What she say?" he asked.
Selena sighed. "Not in those exact words, but she'll come with you."
"You're not?"
"Do you care?" she questioned him sarcastically.
He laughed, throwing his head back.
"You're still angry. You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you're jealous."
"What?!" Selena exclaimed, jumping up off the floor. "Fuck off! Those eyes of yours can see bullshit too, apparently."
He stepped closer to her, slowly, like a predator.
"Stay away from me, Riddick, I swear I'll stab you in the face."
"No you won't."
"Oh yeah? You really wanna try me right now?" Selena was fuming. How dare he? Still playing games, trying to trick her into saying things. He kept advancing on her and she shot her blade out of her glove, showing him she was being serious.
"Why don't you just tell me what's really on your mind?" he taunted.
Selena started breathing fast, her mind racing, trying to think of something smart to say. But she had nothing, and she had no idea what was really on her mind, other than the fact it pissed her off he didn't care for her at all.
"Go on." he whispered.
He was now too close for her, and she couldn't stand it anymore. Selena lunged at him like a cat, and she pushed him onto the floor. She sat on top of him, panting with anger. He was infuriating her and her mind battled her feeling on whether or not to cut his throat as her blade pushed into it. Riddick remained calm, and didn't even try to get her off.
"Do it." he said.
"Fuck you!" Selena snapped, her hand trembling. "You think it's funny, playing people like that?"
"That's it. Get it off your chest."
"I can't even have a normal conversation with you, I never get a straight answer! Everything is a game to you, you don't give a shit what happens to me, do you?! No, you just need me to get Kyra back in your good graces, so she'll go with you, because that's all you care about! After everything we went through and everything I did for you, I'm still just a disposable item. Has it ever even occurred to you that I have feelings? I'm not a robot like you!" she still panted, all of her anger finally coming out, directed at Riddick.
When she was done yelling at him, he turned the tables. He'd heard her out, allowing her to let it all out, but now it was his turn, and he liked to be in charge, didn't he? In one swift movement, he flipped her off him, onto her back and pushed her own blade against her throat while he pinned her to the floor. His eyes bored into hers.
"Are you done?" he asked.
"No, I'm not done!"
"Alright" he said. "Coz I don't think that's what's really bothering you." He let go of her arm and she removed it from her throat.
"Get off me." she snapped.
"You keep contradicting yourself, Vega."
Selena swung her blade up when Riddick stayed where he was, but he just grabbed her wrist and pinned it down.
"What did I tell you about fighting out of anger?"
"Oh, you mean that time you stood by and watched me get handled by Johns?"
"Good times." he smirked.
Selena was so angry she was about to cry, but she managed to hold back her tears. She struggled against him in frustration, but she knew from past experience it was no use, he was too strong.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" Selena asked him, when she finally calmed down a little.
"I am actually. Do you want me to tell you what's up your ass? Coz you can't seem to work it out on your own."
"I'll stick something up your ass if you don't let go of me right now." she growled back.
"Really?" he chuckled. "I'd like to see that happen."
Selena decided this was not the right approach, but she refused to give in to his taunts. So she just turned her head away from him in anger. Riddick seemed to take this as a sign of her submission and he slowly ran his nose down her neck. And even though she was angry, a sudden fire ignited in her stomach. Selena started struggling again, but he didn't stop.
"Am I interrupting something?"
Riddick snapped his head up, and Selena lifted hers, to find the Guv standing only yards away from them.
"I can come back later."
Riddick got off Selena and she noticed a shadow of annoyance on his face, before he put his goggles back on and walked away.
"You have strange taste, Selena." the Guv said to her.
"Something you wanted?" she snapped as she got up from the floor. She didn't mean to snap, but she was still irritated.
"Sorry" she added. "I'm just a bit stressed."
"I was actually looking for that guy." he said, pointing after Riddick with his thumb. "He's quite intruiging."
"Yes, well, that's one way to put it." Selena mumbled, before getting the hell away from the waterfall.
