Chapter 25 just like my loyal reviewers asked!

The emergency lights went on and Sarina's mouth fell open before it turned into a smile when she saw that Riddick had indeed kept his promise. He had shoved his shiv straight into Junner's eyeball. By the time all the emergency lights were on, Riddick let go of the blade and Junner fell back. He landed on the ground and stayed motionless.

'Dead.' thought Sarina with a smile.
"I told you that was coming." Riddick said calmly and Sarina felt her stomach fluttering again when he said that, but it made no sense to her.
Sarina stood up, or tried to, but fell back on to the ground when she put weight on her left leg.

Her vision blurred and she felt her mind swimming. Frowning, she closed her eyes for a moment and shook her head slightly.
When she opened them again her vision slowly returned and the swimming stopped.
"Wh-where are you going?" asked Imam when he noticed Riddick walking away.
"Gonna prep this ship and get off this heap." he answered without turning around. He was holding his left arm with his right and Sarina felt a stab of concern for him.
"So we can escape?" asked Imam inquiringly,
Riddick motioned with his bad arm to follow.
Sarina frowned, there was something important that was missing but she couldn't put her finger on it. Her eyes widened when she remembered. "The woman!" she blurted out, without meaning to. She struggled to get up, and had to grit her teeth to keep herself from whimpering in pain and managed to stand up without falling down.
He turned towards her, surprised by her sudden outburst. He frowned when he watched her limping forwards a few steps, her left hand placed on her thigh
"What is it now, rabbit?" he asked, annoyance evident in his voice.
He was tired of this shithole and wanted to get away from this place as far as possible. Not only that but, he was still annoyed with her because she seemed to know something, again.
Sarina bit her lip, the snapping tone of his voice not escaping her.
"There is someone waiting in the ship to shoot you." she said softly.
Finally deciding to tell him about some of her knowledge. He arched an eyebrow.
"Let me guess; you again knew about this beforehand." he said coldly and she winced before nodding while looking away.
"Yeah… sorry." she whispered softly.
Riddick growled. "I'm gettin' really tired of your games, princess. Eit-…." he was cut off by the ship opening on itself.
Sarina's eyes widened and she started limping towards him. The woman came into view. Her hair was sticking out at wild angles, her make-up was smeared and her clothes looked ragged. She had an old-looking gun in her hands while she panted wildly, her eyes wide with rage. She shot at Riddick and caught him in the arm.
Sarina gasped and jumped while said man fell back from the force of the shot. The woman paid no heed to her, her anger blinding her from everything else.
"Back to hell with you, you bloody, stinking, savage!" yelled the woman angrily while walking up to him.
Sarina took a breath and then started walking towards them, trying to ignore the pain from her leg as best as possible. The woman aimed her gun at Riddick's head and he stared straight at her, groaning in pain. Sarina was almost there when a shot rang through the whole room.

Sarina's eyes widened and time seemed to freeze. The woman fell back on the ground, a hole in her head where her left eye should be. Her blood trickled out of the wound as the now dead woman lay motionless on the floor. Sarina whipped her head around. Riddick came slowly to his feet.
"Im-…" he started but cut himself off when he saw that it was not Imam who took the shot, but Jack.

"Yeah, we made it." said Jack, her eyes wide while the gun still smoked in her hands.
"Awfully uncivilized thing you just did there, Jack." commented Riddick seriously.
She didn't show she heard his words, she was just staring at the gun in her hands. Sarina frowned but didn't say anything, she was too busy trying to stop her mind from swimming. Shaking her head slightly to shake off the dizziness, she turned her attention back to Riddick. He was staring at Jack for a moment longer before he turned and walked into the ship.
Sarina turned to Imam. "Come on, Imam." she said softly but loud enough for him to hear.
Imam snapped out of his trance and then walked up to Jack. He placed a hand on her back and gently pushed her. Jack started walking, her mind still numb from the murder she just committed. Sarina turned and limped into the ship. Imam and Jack followed and got into a seat. Well, Imam did, Jack just laid down on the bench with the gun in her arms and quickly fell asleep. Riddick operated the ship and flew away from the large merc-ship.

Sarina glanced down at her leg. It was still bleeding a bit. She then started pulling the make-shift bandages off and grimaced. The wound looked ugly and she could've sworn she saw the muscle in her leg moving. Looking at Imam she bit her lip.
"eh, Imam." she called softly, gaining his attention.
The man turned to her and she gave him a sheepish smile. "eh, could you, maybe, tear off another piece of your robe?" she asked softly. Imam glanced down at her leg and frowned before he nodded and tore off two pieces and walked over to her. He helped her with her leg and bandaged it with one and used the other to cover the wound. Sarina thanked him and looked down again. Her mind was swimming with questions of what would happen now. Where she would go and what she would do.
Imam walked past her and when he came to Riddick he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Riddick." he said softly.
"Trouble?" asked Riddick while he glanced at Imam.
Imam let go of his shoulder and sat down in the seat next to him "Yes. It is nothing back there. What worries me lies ahead of us." he told the other man with a frown on his face. Concern was written all over his face. Both then glanced back at where Jack lay.
"Jack." said Riddick.
"I am concerned for her, Riddick, that she'll become,…" he trailed off while glancing at him.
Riddick placed his fingers against eachother.
"Like me." he said.
Sarina frowned, she knew what they were talking about and knew that their fears would come true about Jack. She sighed softly and leaned her head back. She was tired. The battle on that planet, her wounds, the merc-ship, the blood loss, it all tired her and she could barely hear the rest of their conversation before her mind went blank and her eyes closed. The fatigue having finally caught up to her. The last thing on her mind was what Riddick would ask her, knowing he wanted some answers.

The next time she woke up it was because of the painful throbbing in her arm. Glancing at it, she realized her body had fallen gently to the side and half her body was now leaning on her wound. Grimacing, she sat up and bit back a gasp. Looking around she noticed that Imam had sat down in the back again and was sleeping soundly. Just like Jack. Sarina frowned at the sight of the teenage girl. The fact that she would become Kyra made her slightly annoyed. She found Kyra too arrogant and a bitch in the movies. She could only hope that wasn't the same in reality. Sighing, she stood up and walked quietly over to the seat next to Riddick. He had his feet propped up on the console again...

He was irritated, beyond irritated. He heard her sneaking behind him, and it irritated him even more that such a little rabbit could get to him in this way. She was always out of harms way, always expecting the unexpected, it was infuriating. If she hadn't known, she would've been dead twenty times over. But she hadn't know what would happen if she interacted, and yet, here she was, always playing hero, yet, somehow still alive. He heard her get closer, and he knew if he paid attention to her right now, the girl would get hurt. He wanted answers, but not while he was in such a mood. Instead, he pretended to be asleep, so she would go away. But she didn't. She stood right next to his seat, in silence for a few moments.
"I know you're awake." came her shaky voice.
The words 'I know' triggered in Riddick such aggression, that he grabbed her by the neck and threw her on the console. She yelped, and he knew he'd hurt her. Which was what he was trying to avoid in the first place. He picked her up by the arm when she fell to the ground, and slammed her back against it, this time a bit more preserved.
Sarina felt scared, she'd never seen Riddick so angry. It wasn't even so much his aggression, but the fierceness in his eyes that made her cringe.
"You're hurting me." she stumbled out.
"You're pushing me to the edge here, Rabbit."
"I...I just...I just wanted to clean your wound." she cried.
"I don't need your help. Don't sneak up on me, next time, you won't be so lucky."
"You wouldn't kill me, I know you wouldn't." she whispered.
"Why do you do that?" he growled at her.
Imam had begun to stir in all the commotion, and Riddick glanced back over his shoulder, before lowering his voice.
"Answer me."
"D...do what?" she asked, the innocence shining in her eyes.
Riddick sighed through his nose, trying to calm himself. "Walkin' around, knowin' everything. I don't need that shit from you, all I want is answers. Your game has lasted long enough. It's time to spill."
She felt her courage crumble under his intense stare, his immense dominance. In a last attempt to get away from confrontation, she begged him to let her go.
"Spill your words, or I'll spill your guts." he whispered. "What happens next?"
"Just let me clean-.."
Riddick pulled her off the console and threw her in the seat, making his threat obvious by grabbing her by the back of the head and placing his knife at her throat. "Count-down has started." he whispered. "Spill."
Sarina swallowed the best she could, she really hated being in this situation.
"I know you're going to the U.V. system, planet 6, and Jack and Imam are going to live on Helion Prime, where Imam will have a wife and a child."
"That's it?" he pushed his blade into her throat.
"W…well, it's a movie about you, so… so… you're gonna get caught up with some crazy people who want to rule the Universe."
He was actually surprised by her answer. He smirked, it was too crazy to be made up.
"Then what?" he took the knife away but stood where he was.
Sarina rubbed her throat. "Do you really want to know?"
Did he? No, he didn't. He made his own destiny, he didn't follow some writer's story, this was his life.
"Get outta here, Rabbit." he said, turning away from her.
"Can I clean your wound now?" she whispered.

"Do whatever ya want." He told her and slowly, almost hesitantly, she slowly walked up to him again and gently touched his arm.
He turned his head her way but didn't do anything. She ripped off a piece of her t-shirt and hesitantly started caressing the cut on his arm. She had no idea of how to get the bullet out. Nor did she want to. She may have a strong stomach against many gore things, but when she had seen him put his finger in his cut to rip out the little bomb in his neck on the movie, she paled. She didn't want to know how he would do it with the bullet-wound.
Nibbling on her lip, she took his arm in her hand and used the clothe to wipe the blood off. Riddick watched her with cold, narrowed eyes. His inner beast was coming up again. It purred in delight at having her so close. But it wanted her closer. It wanted her marked as his so that people like Johns would know to keep away from her. Knowing that she was his. It growled in annoyance, but Riddick fought against it. He would not mark her as his. Not now, not ever. His inner beast snarled in anger and pushed itself in Riddick's mind. Riddick pushed it back, he would not give in, not this time.
Sarina, unaware of his little inner battle continued to clean his cut before she wrapped it up. She then looked at his shoulder where the bullet-wound was and gently touched around it. The pain of the wound made him lose focus for a moment and it was all the time that his inner beast needed. It pushed forwards as hard as it could and overwhelmed him. On the outside, Riddick growled deeply, a deep rumble that made Sarina tense and look him straight in the eye.
Her own eyes held surprise and a hint of fear in them. His inner beast rumbled in delight and grabbed her arms. She gasped and tried to pull back but he wouldn't have it. He growled deeper and pulled her roughly against him. She gasped again, reflexively putting her hands against his chest to balance herself. Riddick purred at this and he leaned his head down to her hair. Sarina, not knowing what to do, tensed and gently tried to tug her arms free. He let his nose sniff up her scent before he leaned his head lower. She tried to pull away again but only succeeded in making him snarl.
Flinching at the sound, she ducked her head. He growled in annoyance at this and was about to try again but Riddick wouldn't have it anymore. He fought with all his strength against his beast and pushed it back to the back of his mind. It roared in anger at the loss while Riddick roughly pulled away from her, going so far as taking a step away from her.
Sarina looked up in his eyes. Confusion, fear, shock and one other emotion flashed through her eyes. Riddick frowned and turned around.
"Go to sleep, princess."
Sarina blinked but nodded, knowing that right now, they both needed some space from one another after this. He was annoyed. No, he was pissed. Never before had he lost control over his beast like that. It was infuriating. The worst part of it all was the fact that the little rabbit had no clue of what she did to him. He realized she was far more dangerous than she knew. Luckily after Helion Prime, he would never have to see her again.
Sarina on the other hand was confused. What had happened? She didn't understand. Had she done something wrong? Shaking her head, she sat down in her seat and glanced at Riddick. He didn't seem to be too happy with her right now. Looking down, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

Review and tell me what you think people.
