'Thoughts'
"Talking"
Chapter 24
At the edge of the light, Harry found himself pulled back into Riddick's grip. Lips pressed and parted in what they hoped wasn't their last kiss. Passionate lit like a roaring flame in them both. It was so hot and heavy that it left Harry weak at the knees and wishing more than anything they were off this planet and alone to enjoy their reunion to the fullest. Parting, both panted for breath, their eyes showing nothing but want and need, with a last look of promise. They turned and headed into the darkness.
Having taken his goggles down to rest on his chest, Riddick leads them through the darkness, where death waited around every corner. On high alert Riddick reached back and garbed Harry's hand, holding it firmly in his. He wasn't losing his mate to this planet again.
As they made their way through the buildings of the settlement Riddick's thoughts flashed to their last kiss, he hadn't planned on kissing Harry again but he had needed to feel his mate lips one more time before they did this. Coming out of the settlement Riddick got into the zone, became once more, the biggest bad out there.
Harry followed closely behind Riddick, knowing his mate knew where they needed to go and Harry kept the glowing bottle on his back so he didn't blind his mate. He thought about using his night sight again but trusted Riddick to lead him. Truthful he couldn't remember where he had first seen Fry. To blinded by his rage and hate to care.
Their feet splashed across the muddy ground as they moved quickly towards the canyon, the heavy rain was making it difficult to see but that didn't stop them. Stopping at the top of the hill, Riddick let go of Harry's hand and looked down the muddy slope.
"Go, it's clear," Riddick said once he checked every inch of the slope. He wasn't letting a single monster near his injured mate.
Nodding Harry sat down and pushed himself over the edge, the water lodged ground was easy to slide down and he couldn't help smiling at the makeshift slide, enjoying himself for the first time since this eclipse happened, even if it covered his backside in the mud. Coming to a stop at the bottom Harry got up quickly, using the rainwater to wash the mud from his hand. Looking behind him, he smiled as he saw Riddick sliding down like a surfer.
When he came to a stop beside Harry, raising a brow in question at Harry's smile. Harry just shakes his head. "Show off."
Giving him a smirk, Riddick reached out and took Harry's hand again and pulled him into the canyon. Harry glanced back at the high hill, he hoped the rain stopped soon, coming down may have been fun but going back up was going to be a problem. What with one of them being injured and the others tired from when they had been through.
When the creatures started appearing again, Riddick made sure to keep Harry close to his side as they moved down the path. He was happy that it was only a few coming out from the top of the canyon. The light from the bottle keeping them at bay but he knew sooner or later hunger would get the best of them.
He was proven correct halfway into their journey, one of the braver bastards came to close to Harry's left side, Riddick span Harry around, switching places with him, letting him go Riddick pulled out his shiv and swiftly ended it with a swing to the gut, slicing its belly from top to tail.
As it screeched and withered on the ground Riddick grabbed Harry's hand again and hauled him quickly away. Listening to the creature's kin finishing it off. 'Nothing is getting close to my injured mate.' Riddick thought as he slit the throat of another creature, kicking its twitching body away and into the hungry jaws waiting in the shadows. He knew that any of the creatures that survived his attack were soon taken out by their own kind, hunger drove everything on this planet to feed on any weak or injured. Only the strong survive.
'I guess on a planet with no other meat source, they have resorted to eating each other to live. With the mad dash earlier we thought they were trying to stop us but they're not that smart and being hungry to the point of not caring what they ate. They began attacking each other, driven mad with our scent. I bet those bodies must be stripped clean by now.' Harry thought, slowing his paces as he watched one of the ones Riddick slashed at getting overwhelmed by its kin and torn into.
"No time for sightseeing Vixen," Riddick said catching Harry's attention when he drew him back into paces with his steps.
"How far is it Riddick? I can't recall where I started following Fry, to blinded by my rage to pay anything else attention. And right now I don't trust myself to use a 'point me' spell again." Harry panted slight, his chest wound was starting to throb from all the running they were doing.
Riddick looked back at him with his brow raised in question. He wanted to know what the hell a 'point me' spell was. Harry blushed slightly with a grin "I'll tell you later about the spells I can cast when we're off this planet. There is a lot to cover."
Nodded in agreement, Riddick smirked. "I'll hold you to that Vixen. Now it shouldn't be far now. Around this bend coming up."
They walked around the bend Riddick was talking about and came to a stop. Both glancing around them. Riddick spotted the large boulder he had pushed in front of the cave. Pointing it out with his shiv to Harry. "There."
Looking over Riddick's shoulder to the boulder Harry scents the air. He could faintly smell the others through the heavy rain. He did recall Fry's blue glow appearing from a wall, though the image was hazy, his anger had been too great to focus on anything but her. Walking around Riddick to stop beside him, making sure to keep the light on his opposite side, he glanced at Riddick and shared a smile. They had done it.
A screech jolted Harry out of his happy moment, both their heads shoot up to see one of the hammerhead creature, the biggest one Riddick had seen so far, clawing slowly down the cliff face towards the cave where the helpless group was hiding, not knowing of the danger heading towards them.
That was when Harry smelt what had caught the creature's attention through the rain. Jack, her scent was surrounding them once again, filling the air and was much stronger than before, not even the rain could hide it.
"Shit Riddick," Harry whispered out to his mate in fear. "That's as big as the alpha's I faced, if not bigger."
"Stay here," Riddick spoke intensely, placing his hand on Harry's shoulder and gently urging him back behind him. He wasn't letting his mate fight, not with his injures.
"Riddick..." Harry whispered, he didn't want to leave his mate to fight alone, this one was big, a full-grown alpha.
"No Vixen, not with your wounds. I can handle this easily. Trust me." Riddick smirked. There was no way he was letting his mate get hurt, he was stilled pissed his mate had been hurt so much because of Fry's actions, she had paid for it with her life, now these creatures were going to pay for marking what was his. After they were off this fucked up planet he wasn't letting Harry out of his sight anytime soon.
Harry nodded reluctantly and backed off. His mate was right, no matter how much it annoyed him, his chest wound and leg were throbbing and in no shape to fight something that big. And he did trust his mate to fight his own battles.
Eyes glued on Riddick, Harry watched him move like a predator on the hunt. Something he found very hot. 'plus if I fought that thing now there's no telling what could happen and I didn't want to be a burden to Riddick any more than I am, not when we're so close to saving the group and getting out of here.' Harry moved back towards the cliff wall, though not to close to it this time. Keeping the bottle close, he watched Riddick roll his shoulders, the sheer power in his mate's body was something else, he had a strength that wasn't exactly human but after all this time asleep Harry couldn't be too shocked that humans had mixed with aliens.
His attention was taken from his mate when the scent of Jack began to overflowing his nose once again causing him to snort to get rid of it. 'I'm lucky the bandages and mud are coving my scent so well. This rain is thankful not washing it all away so I'm hidden from this thing. But poor Jack, I can't help cover her scent this time, I have nothing left, with no idea how long this rain is going to continue there is little hope of hiding from these creatures for long. We're in deep shit here and those creatures will be on our every step back.' Harry reclined against a rock and relaxed for a moment, he may not be fighting now but there was no telling what will happen in the next few hours. So leaning back a safe distance away, Harry watched his mate begin his deadly dance.
Riddick moves closer to the beast, his every step showed confidence that predators showed when stalking prey. With a quick movement, he bent down and grabbed a fist-sized rock. Holding his shiv with the other hand he waited and watched the creature grow closer to the cave. Timing it just right he throws the rock hard, hitting the creature right across the side of its head.
It let out a screech of shock and rocks its head, trying to see once again. Turning its head towards where the hit came from, an echo sound rang through
the air. It hissed when it saw a meal standing right in the open and with its hunger at the front of its mind the creature abandoned the sweet scent that it had been drawn to. With a screech, it pushed off the cliff wall and flew through the air towards Riddick.
Riddick crouch and waited, just as the creature was in front of him, mouth open to take a bite he rolled underneath its massive girth, coming out of the roll he lifted his blade and sliced a clear line from neck to tail. The creature didn't even get a screech out before it fell and crashed into the opposite cliff wall, its guts and entrails spilled over the ground as it withered around. Riddick stood and peered over to the downed creatures, it was still fighting for life even there was no hope for it. Walking over he placed his bloody shiv back into his belt, by its side he grabbed its head, getting a good hold he did what he had done before.
Snapping its neck in a clean break.
With a low crunch that echoed around them, the creature goes limp and dropped lifeless to the ground when Riddick lets go. Standing over his downed prey Riddick, felt a rush of pride and satisfaction, with the heated eyes of his mate on him. He lifted his head and let out a roar, it echoed around them. A loud and clear notices to everything on that planet that there was a bigger and more dangerous predator around. The beast inside was greatly pleased that they had shown their mate they could and would protect what was theirs.
As the sound faded, he turned and noticed Harry getting up from his rock and wandering over to him. The heat burning in those green eyes setting his blood alight with desire.
Not for one second did they take their eyes off each other as they came together one more. Sliver and green locked in a passionate gaze. Once Harry was close enough he reached up and took a hold of the back of Riddick's baled head and pulled him down, crashed their mouths together in a passionate and intense kiss.
Seeing his mate being so swiftly and deadly had set a fire inside Harry, it was so fast and powerful that he couldn't help but need Riddick to grasp how much he meant to him. He whimpered as Riddick took over the kiss as masterful as he took down that monster. His whole body thrumming with desire and want.
The scent of Harry's desire overwhelm Jack's, clearing the air so Riddick could only smell him, Riddick growled, wrapping his arms tightly around Harry's waist, holding him to his chest as he took his fill of his mate. His lungs full of his heavenly scent, not even the rain couldn't dampen the beautiful scent.
His Riddick had taken his prey down in less than ten seconds, demonstrating to Harry's slightly bruised hybrid sides that Riddick was the perfect match for them, he would always protect them when they really in need of it.
Unnoticed by Harry or Riddick something inside Harry pulsed to life for a brief moment as they kissed.
The bond that connects them both hummed and pules in time with their hearts, slowly growing more active with the closeness of the two mates, deep inside Harry a rainbow coloured orb rose beside the bond and began to pulse in the rhythm, It intertwined its self with the bond and both glowed with power. Within seconds the bond had gone from the first stage to the second stage. Their minds becoming linked even more and deeper intertwined, it was something that had never happened so quickly before between mates. Wheres before they had picked up each other's stray thoughts without knowing, now they will soon realize they could 'mind-speak' with each other over short distances.
With its job done the 'Other' stopped its pulsing and unwind itself from the bond, free, the bond settled down to a slow pulse. The orb gave one last pulse before falling silent once more. Waiting for its time.
Nether Riddick or Harry notice the change between them. Too destructed with each other.
Riddick was busy taking his mate's breathe away. Claiming his lips and mapping every inch of his mouth. One of his hands let Harry's waist go and reached up to grab a hold of his long hair in a tight grip, controlling every move of their embrace. Harry moaned with need and was losing himself in the kiss, it was like Riddick was trying to consume his very being.
And Riddick was, he needed to be as close to his mate as possible and the need was growing with every passing second. His hand slid from Harry's hair and down his back, gently ghosting over the wounds, not wanting to give his mate more pain than he already was, once he reached his bottom he placed his hand firmly under it and he lifted him into his arms. Smirking into the kiss when Harry let out a squeak before moaning as their bodies rub against each other, wrapping his legs around Riddick's waist. All of Riddick's focus was on claiming Harry's mouth. The passion burned hot as the sun but sadly all good things had to come to an end.
The creatures in the dark didn't care that those to were in the middle of claiming each other and their screeching interrupted them.
Lifting his head, Riddick growled with smug satisfaction at the dazed and flushed look his panting mate was sprouting. He was rock hard and would like nothing more than to throw his mate over the closes flat surface and reclaim what was his. But the want for his mate safety stops him. Though both he and his beast were unhappy with the long wait, the risk to their mate was too high to ignore. The danger of Harry being taken away again chased away his desire and he began to think more clearly.
"We're will finish this later Vixen, you can bet on that," Riddick growled. That was a promise he was going to keep if it killed him. He had enough patients to wait for now but that was getting shorter and shorter. God help the next person or thing that interrupted them after this.
"It's like everything is against us being together on this fucking planet." Harry couldn't help whine. He was hard as a rock and his body was boiling with desire for his mates attention. Badly. They had been interrupted every time, even their mating had been cut short, oh they mated but they didn't get the chance to do it more than fucking once before the planets started to block the suns out. 'I may have 'Potter luck' for keeping me alive but when it comes to alone time with my mate it does a disappearing act.' Harry whined inside his mind, First people now those fucking hammer-headed bastards were getting in the way.
"When we're off this hell hole your not getting a moment of peace until you have claimed me fully and repeatedly." Harry hissed out in determination. Pointing a finger in Riddick's face, showing just how pissed he was, he couldn't even blush at ordering his mate for sex, too frustrated by it all at this point, blue balls were a real thing and they hurt, a lot.
Throwing back his head, Riddick let out a deep laugh, his mate's frustration. He didn't think he had ever in his life been order to have sex before. Having Harry around was turning out to be amusing that's for sure. Calming down he smirked as Harry unwrapped his legs from his waist and he slowly lowered him back to the ground, making sure their bodies rubbed together, every inch a slow torment for poor Harry, who moaned in pleasure and frustration at the feel of his mates hard and ready body.
Riddick, on the other hand, loved seeing his Vixen so worked up, to know that he's mate was so excited for him that he was making demands to be taken once they were off this planet, it was sending his blood racing in satisfaction.
"That's a grantee Vixen, not even the others being present will stop me from what's mine." He growled, he could wait for now. It won't be too long now before they were back in the Skiff. The front cockpit will work nicely with what he had planned.
Taking a few deep breathes and let the cool rain wash over him, Harry slowly calmed his lust and want down. His pants were still a little tight but he could deal with that. Shooting his mate a smile. He was going to keep Riddick to his promise, it had been too long since having his mate over him. The promise filled his mind with images that were best left alone for now no matter how much it pained him, with a light blush over his cheeks he forced the images away and got back to business.
"Then let's get this over with as fast as possible my Hunter. I'm not waiting more than I have to." Harry grinned cheekily before he turned and walked towards the cave. Behind him, Riddick let out a deep rumbled laugh that sent shivers down Harry's spine.
'My mate is never going to ever be boring to be around.' Riddick thought with a grin of his own, following Harry to the cave. It was time to get this over with.

Inside the cave the group huddled together, each holding back their anxiety as more time passed and there was no sign of Fry.
Shazza hugged Jack to her side, the poor girl had her eyes glued to the floor with a bewildered look. Their faith in Fry ever coming back was growing more dimmer by the moment and there was zip Shazza could do to comfort the girl. She acknowledged it should have been her to go and get Riddick, but sadly Fry had been right, she was the only one who knew the way to the Skiff. but deep inside she didn't think either of them would be able to get Riddick to come back for them.
After losing Harry the man had shut down, no longer feeling anything. She knew what that was like, she had felt the same thing after losing her Zeke.
Even now she knew in her heart that Riddick's lost was worse than her own, for she hadn't been bonded to Zeke, only married for the last few years, it didn't mean it lessen her love or her lose over losing him and when this was over and she made it off this planet, she will grieve to the fullest, but she could and would go on without him. Riddick and Harry, on the other hand, had been soul mates,
destined for each other.
Pity rose inside her for the big man, no one should ever go through the loss of their mate. It hurt, even more, thinking they had only just met on this hell hole of a planet.
Life was a cruel mistress.
So deep in thought, she paid no mind to Jack moving closer as the sound of roars and screeches came from outside. She was deaf to everything, not even noticing Imam staring at the entrances as the sounds stopped and all became quiet.
He stood, keeping his boys behind him as his eyes glued to the boulder that protected them from the creatures outside. His heart beating faster as it moves slightly.
Shazza snapped to attention when Jack grabbed her arm and pulled her up urgently. Everyone stood and watched with growing fear, Ali let out a whimper, holding his brother's waist tightly, burying his head into his chest. Suleiman held him and swallowed around the limp in his throat. He ducked further behind their father.
The monsters were getting in.
The boulder moved more violently before finally being shoved out of the way. They held their breaths, waiting to see their death enter. Instead of a monster head appearing, someone, they never thought to see again popped around the edge of the rock.
"Anyone miss me." Harry grinned cheekily at the shocked looks on their faces.
"HARRY!" They yelled in happiness, with a good dose of shock.
Harry waved a hand with a laugh. "Yup. I see I was missed."
Suddenly Harry felt a hand drop onto his ass, moving him aside, said hand also got in a quick grope before falling away.
Riddick appeared in front of him and smirked. He found it amusing that they looked more shocked at seeing him than they did Harry. Though he saw behind Imam, little Ali look like he wanted to jump Harry in a hug attack and the only thing stopping him is Suleiman.
"Never had a doubt." Jack grinned. Pleased to see her hero and of course Harry. She never thought Riddick wouldn't come back for them, he was the strongest and bravest of them all, a real badass. She wanted to be just like him, people fearing her and never hurting her again. She will learn from the best.
"Anyone not ready for this?" Riddick asked looking them over.
"There is my god, Mister Riddick." Imam said pleased, causing Riddick to raise a brow.
"Let's get this hell out of here," Harry said popping up again from under Riddick's arm.
"Harry..." Shazza's voice caught on all the emotions she was being overwhelmed by, her friend looked like he had been to hell and back. "How?"
Harry grinned at her, knowing he looked like he had been through a war. "I'll tell you the whole story later, but right now we have a Skiff to catch."
