Alright people! The relationship gets heated up! :D
Recap: She tried to grab it but her body wouldn't obey.
"Sarina!" she heard Kyra cry. She wanted to turn her head to her little sister but her body only twitched. Dear god, the pain was unbearable.
Black spots were dancing in her vision from the lack of air in her body.
She tried to breath, tried to move, to do something but her body only twitched while her mouth was open in a silent scream. Out of the corner of her vision she saw all the necromongers move towards where Riddick laid.
Sarina had to ignore them. Right now, the most important thing for her was to get some air in her lungs. But it was so goddamn hard. Her body ached all over from the shot and she hadn't even been hit by it.
"So, you can kneel." she heard Vaako say.
She desperately wanted to do something but her need for air was sadly more important right now. She tried to relax her body. To get her lungs to start working again. Slowly she felt her body relax a bit and her lungs immediately worked. If only a little. A soft gasp escaped her lips and her back arched. Her body was so tense it was unbearable. But at least her body was starting to work again.
She managed to turn her head and saw Riddick sitting on his knees while Vaako aimed his guns right at him.
"R-R-Ri…ddick…" she gasped out, her lungs still not able to work enough air in them for her to speak so soon. Suddenly she saw him shake while he spread his arms wide. A blue glow came from his chest and a faint memory of the movie flashed through her head. The woman. She knew that he now remembered his past. Of what truly happened when he was a child.
Suddenly a pulse of pure blue energy flew from Riddick and threw all the necromongers around him away. One landed even next to her. She felt the energy fly over her and a small smile crept on her lips.
"K-k-kick…a-ass." she whispered, the feeling of the energy made her hair stand on end. She then tried to move again. This time she managed to curl her hand shakily around her dagger. But she felt her body quake all over just to do that. She knew that any second now the sun would come here and burn everything.
She needed to move. Needed to get to the hangar to be safe. 'Come on, move! Move your body!' she yelled in her head but the only thing that happened was for her to arch her back again.
She felt tears still rolling down her cheeks and the pain in her cheek made her aware of the cut again. Sarina tried to roll over but only managed to get her leg to twitch and shift a bit.
"D-damn…it." she whispered and took shaky breaths. Her breathing was slowly becoming normal again. Now if only her body would move then she could get herself to safety. She pretty much doubted that the Purifier would come and drag her also to the hangar. She let out a soft cry as she finally, finally managed to roll herself on her side. Not what she wanted but better than nothing. She now moved her arms while her body rolled on her stomach. She slowly managed to start crawling towards the hangar.
She was only a few feet away from it.
It took all of her strength, every fiber of her being to crawl towards the hangar. Right when she was almost there did she suddenly feel light shine on her back.
Then, the light quickly started becoming increasingly hot. She gasped in pain, feeling herself being cooked alive.
Gritting her teeth, she tried to ignore the feeling as best she could and crawled further. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of crawling and feeling cooked alive, she managed to get out of the sun. Immediately she stopped crawling. Her whole body still ached and felt tense but at least now she could breath normal again.
Sarina relaxed the best she could and waited for her body to relax again.
She heard faint shuffling to her right and turned her head, albeit shakily, and saw the Purifier pulling Riddick into the hangar. He then let go of him and glanced at her. Sarina gave him a strained smile while her body twitched. A sign, she noted, that her body was starting to return back to normal again.
"T-thanks… for… saving him." she said softly.
The Purifier blinked, looking slightly surprised before he nodded his head. He then turned to a small table by the wall and walked over. Sarina watched him slowly pull metal… things off of his fingers. She didn't know what to call it. They looked like rings only instead of sitting at the back of the finger, they sat on the tips.
She ignored him in favor of trying to stand up. Shakily she managed to get on one knee before trying to set her other foot down. Sadly, her body was still weak and she almost collapsed back on the ground but managed to grab onto the edge of the little ship just in time.
The purifier stopped for a second what he was doing and glanced over at her. He didn't ask if she was alright.
Didn't ask if she needed help. He just stared before he turned back to what he was doing. Sarina was a bit annoyed by his dismissal but ignored him.
Right now her body seemed to slowly be coming down from the rush of the battle and her whole world seemed to be spinning around her.
She felt the pain in her hand throb as if it was her heart that was in her hand. The cut on her cheek was stinging slightly but not by much.
Then, she remembered what she had done back there.
She had killed. She had taken a life, no, lives. More than one. Her body started to shake again but this time it wasn't from the blow. This time it was from the recognition that she had actually taken people's lives. Tears formed in her eyes and she felt something rush up from her stomach and had just enough time to stumble to a nearby boulder and puked right next to it.
Her body heaved a few times while she shook. The tears slid down her cheeks and faintly she heard a bit of rustling behind her. But she didn't care right now.
Her mind was spinning while she shakily brought her hand up and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
She felt a sob coming up and somehow managed to swallow it back down. 'I killed people. I… killed someone.' she thought, her eyes wide while she looked down at her body. It was then that she noticed the drops of blood that were on her top. Not only from her own wounds but also from others.
"Kyra?" she heard a voice softly rumble behind her.
She swallowed again while pushing her guilty thoughts to the side. "S-she's taken… the necromongers have her." she whispered shakily.
Riddick heard her and whipped his head towards her. He saw her body shaking slightly, the streaks of tears on her face and smelled the vomit from where he was standing. At first he was confused. Why was she like that? She must've sensed the question because she said: "I'm okay, I just…" she swallowed thickly. "I just took my first lives out there." she told him.
He now understood why she looked like that. The first kills were always the hardest.
He nodded in understanding before turning his attention to the Purifier when he spoke up.
"I was supposed to deliver a message to you, if Vaako failed to kill you." told the blonde calmly.
Sarina ignored him, her body was shaking while flashes of the blood from her opponents came to her mind.
How she stabbed most of them in the neck. The sickening squelch.
She shuddered.
It was then that she noticed she was holding something in her right hand. It was the dagger. But it was drenched in blood. She again, felt bile rise up but swallowed a few times to push it back down. She also noticed that even though her cut was throbbing painfully, she was still having a tight grip on it. She put the knife in a pocket.
Trying to calm her nerves she pulled her hair out of its bun and with shaky hands she pulled it back in a low ponytail. She looked around before shakily going over to the body of a guard that had a small flask on his belt.
Kneeling down, she pulled it off his belt and screwed the top off. After taking a breath, she took a swig. A nasty taste along with a burning feeling went down her throat.
She held the flask up at eye-height and grimaced. 'Alcohol. Yech! I hate alcohol. Not much choice though.' she thought disgusted before she forced herself to take another swig.
She felt the liquid warm her insides already. Immediately she put the flask back down and walked over to Riddick.
She saw the Purifier walk over to him with a familiar blade in his hands.
"But Vaako will most likely report you as dead." he told him while Riddick looked down. "So this is your chance to do what no man has ever done." he told him but when he came within reach did Riddick grab him by his shoulder and put pressure on him.
The Purifier pulled a slight pained face.
"The girl. Where will they take her?" demanded Riddick in calm anger, his rumbling voice was a bit of a soothing sound to her.
Though she couldn't stop the shiver from shaking her body visibly. But she didn't know whether it was because of his voice or because of the first killing thing.
The necromonger couldn't breath and so, couldn't answer. Instead, he shakily brought his hand to the top of his cloak and pulled it open. A faint blue hand-mark was on his chest. Riddick instantly let go of him and glanced down at his own chest.
Sarina glanced from one mark to the other, but her attention was more drawn to the one of Riddick. She got the urge to touch it and had to fight it down to keep from doing so.
The blonde man looked at Riddick's chest also with a knowing look before the two men stared eachother in the eye again.
"We all began… as something else." said the Purifier while pulling his cloak back closed.
Riddick's breathing accelerated a bit. Sarina couldn't stop herself this time and placed a hand on his arm for comfort. He glanced over at her and saw her give him a small smile of comfort.
"I've done… unbelievable things… in the name of a faith that was never my own." continued the Purifier while he glanced at Sarina.
She stared at him with as little emotion on her face as she could. But it wasn't easy with how pale and shaky she looked while her eyes were slightly puffy from crying.
"And he'll do to her what he did to me." said the Purifier before he looked outside and took a step towards the entrance of the hangar.
"The necromonger in me warns you not to go back. But the Furyan in me…" went the blonde further which caught Riddick's attention as he looked up in the Purifier's face. The man gave him a small smile. "Hopes you won't listen." said the Purifier while he held up the dagger that Riddick got from his first battle with a necromonger, back on Helion.
He let it fall to the ground where it landed by Riddick's feet with a loud clang. "God knows… I've dreamed of it." said the Purifier and with one last smile towards Riddick, he turned to the entrance and started walking forwards.
The Purifier walked right into the blazing storm and was quickly burned to pieces in mere seconds. Both Riddick as well as Sarina glanced at the heap of ash and bones that was once the Purifier. Sarina squeezed Riddick's arm in comfort, making him glance down at her. She gave him a small strained smile, the thoughts of her kills fresh on her mind and saddening her.
"Let's go find Kyra." she whispered.
Riddick frowned, he could see that the kills had affected her hard. They both climbed into the little ship and both immediately went into the two chairs near the front.
Riddick flicked a few switches and pulled a handle.
"Never expected ya to do it, rabbit." he spoke suddenly making her glance up at him questioningly. "Killing someone." he continued as if sensing her unspoken question.
Sarina looked down. "Yeah, well,… neither did I." she whispered softly and sighed.
A flashback of the face of one of the necromongers she killed popped into her mind. Shuddering slightly she tried to ignore her thoughts. Riddick pulled the wheel in front of him and the ship took off with a shaky start. The firestorm hit the ship but it quickly flew out of the flames and up into space without much trouble. He pushed a few buttons and then turned his chair around and faced her.
"I for one thought ya didn't have the guts to do it." he said and Sarina thought she heard a hint of mocking in his voice and clenched her hands.
She looked away from him. "Just leave me alone Riddick." she hissed.
She didn't need this now. His mocking. The kills weighed heavy on her consciousness and she didn't need his mocking on top of it. He stepped right in front of her and grabbed the arms of the chair while leaning his face close to hers.
"Or what are ya gonna do, rabbit? Run away?" he asked and while his words seemed mocking, his tone was serious.
She still refused to look at him. "Just, leave me alone!" she growled.
"I don't think so." he said, his face still dangerously close. "You see, I think it's interesting."
Sarina glared at him, she was sure he was teasing her. But he stared back, and she was still intimidated by his eyes, the dominance behind them. When she couldn't take it anymore, she jumped up, and pushed him aside. Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough to do so. But the gesture stirred something in Riddick's chest, and he grabbed her by the hair, making her yelp. But she'd changed. A wall had fallen overnight, and it made her more resistant. She started fighting his grip, nearly ripping her hair out, but she wouldn't be pushed around anymore, she wasn't a rabbit anymore, not after what happened.
But her fighting called a reaction she hadn't expected. Without warning, Riddick suddenly tightened his grip on her, and slammed his lips on hers. She squeaked while he roughly kissed her. She didn't want this, did she? In a reflex she tried to push him away, but it was like pushing a brick wall. Over the seconds, the sensation started feeling like pleasure, but she refused to be his toy for the night. She didn't need pity nor did she need a one night stand. She fought harder, but it only made Riddick more aggressive.
He felt possessive. A need to dominate her, to show her who the alpha was. His beast growled at her resistance. It wanted her to submit. Riddick wanted this too. Sarina started hitting his chest, to make him stop. She didn't want this.
A deep growl emitted from his chest before he let go of her hair and grabbed her hands. Immediately she pulled her head back while she struggled to get them out of his grip but he quickly pulled her arms behind her back. He locked them there with one hand while pulling her against him. He then put one leg between hers while pushing her other leg back against the edge of the chair and locked it there with his own.
Sarina panted and struggled to get loose. "Let me go!" she cried after regaining her breath a bit. She refused this. She didn't want to be used. Not anymore.
He ignored her words in favor of grabbing her hair again but this time, he pulled her head roughly to the side.
"Riddick!" she yelled angrily while she felt his nose sniffing at her skin. Another growl came rumbling up from his chest before he started grazing his teeth over her skin. A soft gasp made her grow quiet while at the same time he could feel her shudder. His beast snarled at him to mark her. Show her who was the alpha. Riddick complied and then bit down on her shoulder. Right next to the mark that that thug had left behind, though it wasn't that visible anymore.
She yelped in pain and arched her back a bit in reflex, which made her breasts push even harder against his chest than they already were. A deep rumble came again from him but this time it was a purr instead of a growl. She was still struggling, but it had grown weaker. Once he felt her stop he slowly let go and licked the mark. Sarina shuddered from the feeling and moaned softly. He then pulled back and stared at her. She stared right back while taking a shuddering breath. He glanced at the mark he made. He hadn't bit through her skin but still hard enough to make the mark last for a little while.
Sarina couldn't take it anymore. Tears started gathering in her eyes.
"Why?" she whispered softly while she clenched her teeth.
The first tear fell, followed by a second and then another until she was crying completely. Riddick glanced back at her face. For a split second he felt guilt before the feeling died down again. She needed to know her place, therefore was there no reason for him to feel guilty over that.
"You're mine." he told her calmly but seriously, as if it explained everything.
She glared at him, her anger bubbling quickly up again.
"No! I'm not yours! I don't belong to anyone." she snapped while she started to struggle in his grip once more.
Riddick growled when she started again. The grip he had on her hair tightened a bit before he pulled her head back.
Deciding struggling wasn't helping much, she relaxed in his grip. It seemed to work, as Riddick loosened his grip.
"Get over it." he whispered before letting her go.
Sarina stared at the floor, knowing exactly what he meant. "I don't think I ever will." she whispered.
The small ship landed on Helion without being caught. Riddick stalked out of the ship followed by Sarina. Riddick easily snuck in the alleys and blended in with the shadows. Sarina was,… not so fluid. She just ran after him until they came to a familiar house. She stopped in the middle of the street, a sad look on her face. Riddick didn't seem to notice that she had stopped and walked to the front of the door of the house. 'What are we doing here?' she asked mentally. The house was Imam's and was in ruins.
The door was half of its hinges, the roof was broken and many more things were ruined on it. But it wasn't the only one.
No. Most other houses were also in ruins like Imam's. Well, Lajjun's house. Imam was gone.
The thought send a pang of sadness in her heart. She was quickly brought out of her thoughts when she saw Riddick leaving. Blinking, she quickly ran after him.
"Riddick." she called softly when she caught up with him. "Do you have a plan on how we could blend in?" she asked him even though she already knew the answer but made sure he heard the 'we' part in her sentence. She wanted to keep it clear that she was going with him.
"I'd think you already know the answer to that question." he told her while nodding secretly to a bunch of necromongers that were passing by.
She grimaced. She had a feeling she would have to kill again. Riddick noticed.
"If you're too scared, ya can still go home, rabbit." he told her.
Sarina turned to him with a frown. "No. I'm coming with you and that's final." she said with a determined look.
He smirked. "Then let's go." he said and turned around before going into a nearby alley.
She followed after him, taking twists and turns until he suddenly stopped by the end of an alley and motioned for her to wait. She frowned and stayed flat against the wall. Riddick scanned the streets. There were three necromongers coming their way. He glanced over at Sarina and nodded with his head.
Nodding, she knew what he meant and pulled her dagger out. He had found two victims. She watched as three necromongers passed the alley before Riddick slipped out after them. Sarina followed after him quickly and saw the three necromongers.
Riddick had just taken out one while the other two were going for him. She wasted no time and ran for the second one and lifted her dagger when she was near. At the last moment she saw the axe of the necromonger come her way.
He had seen her.
She ducked low before coming back up and stabbed forwards as hard as she could. She caught the man right under the front of his armor and stabbed him in the stomach. He grunted before he threw a punch at her.
She got hit in the side of the face and landed on the ground with a soft cry. The necromonger turned to her and walked over to her.
HOOT HOOT! Things spark violently between the two. Wonder what will happen next? Oh wait! I already know and you DON'T! MUWHAHAHAHA! XD
