Recap: She limped over to them and Blade lifted her up the ledge and waited for her to go inside. She frowned and stopped right in front of the entrance and turned to Riddick.

She knew what they were planning and tried to think of something to keep them here. Or at the very least take them with them. "You're gonna leave us here, aren't you?" she asked him but already knew the answer. He didn't answer, said nothing, didn't even nod, he just stared at her.

She narrowed her eyes at him when he kept staring at her. "Riddick," she whispered softly as her face changed to one of pleading. "Please… take us with you," she pleaded, she was getting desperate to get away from those things.
He turned his head to the side a bit. Gritting her teeth at the lack of response she sighed and hung her shoulders before she went into the cave. The moment she stepped inside Riddick wasted no time and rolled the boulder in front of the cave again.

Luna turned back to the boulder and saw the silhouettes of the two men disappear. Behind her she heard Jack whimper and turned back around. Her gaze fell on Jack and the torch she held in her hands. She saw how white the girl's hands were and wondered absently how the bottle hadn't cracked yet in her vice-like grip.

"Jack it's going to be okay. They are going to be back," said Luna and placed a hand on Jack's back, trying to calm the poor girl down as the light flickered.
"O-okay Luna." said Jack with a slight stutter. Her panicked breathing slowed down, even though the noises outside got louder.
Luna did not know what to do. Fry was gone. Just like in the movie, but instead of it being near the end saving Riddick, she had been taken hours before. Was it because of her or Blade being here? Was this world actually anything like the films or were the movies just based of something else. It was just too confusing and now there was no one to go get Riddick and now Blade also, to come back and save them.

Only her.

They wouldn't listen to Imam, not after what they said about God. It was clear they didn't respect the man, only tolerated him.
And there was definitely no way Jack could make it. Her period made her a walking target for those things. It had to be her. That thought made her shiver.
Echoing noises became louder outside. Luna looked at Imam who stood at in front of the boulder. She could see his face fade as the last of the alcohol started to burn off. The creatures outside became more excited, Imam moved back towards them just as the flame flickered and died, plunging them into darkness.

Jack grabbed Luna's hand which made Luna glance down and saw the tight hold she had on her hand. Saw. 'The glow bugs! I forgot about the fucking glow bugs!' Luna shouted inside her mind as they all looked up. A smile spread across her face.
"Jack! Grab the bottles!" Luna ordered as she and Imam started to pick the bugs off of the rocky walls. "Okay, we'll fill one of them as much as possible." Luna explained, stuffing the bugs into a bottle. "It should be enough to get me to the ship to get more light."

Imam and Jack's eyes widened at her words. "No child! It should be me, you are hurt." argued Imam seriously. "You can't go, Luna! Your leg…" started Jack and trailed off with a wince.
She shook her head. "No. I am the only one who has a chance of persuading them," she explained as she walked over to him, leaving Jack to continue filling the bottle. Which she did reluctantly.

"I don't know what I will find when I get there, Imam. But I know it has to be me." She whispered trying to get him to see it her way.
"Why child? Please, make me understand," Imam asked, grabbing her hand and holding on to it tightly. He had lost so much already, he could not lose Luna as well. He had started to see her as one of his children.
She sighed deeply. "Because I'm hoping that as they have helped me so many times before, they will help me again."
"You don't think they're coming back." Imam whispered, the words made Jack pause in her movements. The words were said clearly and stung all three of them with the bitter truth. Imam tried to hold onto the fading hope inside him, praying to his God that the words were a lie and that all of them would make it out alive.

Luna looked away before turning back. "I don't know, all I can do is hope that I can convince them," she said softly. Imam stared at her face for a long moment before he sighed wearily as his shoulders sagged in defeat. "Very well child, I will pray for your safe return and that they will change their minds." said the man.
Luna smiled at him, tightening her grip before releasing his hand and limped over to help Jack. Filling the bottle to the max and scraping off the label, Luna was ready.
"You guys try and fill the other bottle, I'll try and come back as soon as possible," she told them and limped to the boulder. Giving Jack one last smile, Luna and Imam moved the boulder aside until there was a gap big enough for her to get through.
"Good luck Luna." Imam said, gripping her shoulder in comfort before he let go.

"Yeah, come back safe, Luna. Don't leave our asses out here." Jack said strongly, though both could hear her voice wavering slightly.
Smiling back at both of them, Luna tightened her hold on the glowing bottle and made her away through the gap in the stones and went out into the dark night.
She could feel the fear inside her burning along with determination. They were all going to get out of this alive. All of them. She would make sure of it.
And with that she limped as fast as she could to the ship.
She tried to hop-jog as fast as she could but the ground had became muddy and she slipped when she went too fast.

'Now I know how mud-wrestling feels.' she thought absently to herself, trying in vain to keep her thoughts from the creatures around her.
She quickly came to the hill that she recognized that Fry climbed over. She tried to hop to get up the hill faster but the mud was extremely slippery here.
"I gotta make it." she whispered before she cursed when she slipped again in the mud. Gritting her teeth in irritation, she started crawling on hands and knees up the hill.

It was a lot harder than she thought it would be. 'In the movies it all seems so simple.' she thought and whimpered in desperation when she slipped downwards again.
Fear and despair where coursing through her veins. The thought of Riddick and Blade leaving without them made her almost hysterical. A creature whooped somewhere nearby and she felt hot tears roll down her cheeks.
'I can't do this. I'm tired, I just wanna go home,' she thought, not caring that she sounded childish. She was exhausted, mentally, physically and emotionally. She didn't know if she could stand being around those creatures any longer.
She just wanted to lay down and sleep. She shook her head violently at that last thought, causing her hair to whip in her face.

"N-no! I gotta hold on! I-I g-gotta try," she whispered, out of breath and smiled when she came finally at the top of the hill.
Taking a moment to gather her breath again, she started sliding down the hill, keeping a tight grip on her bottle. She found it was much easier to go down the hill than up.
She looked into the distance and saw the settlement. A sob of happiness came from her lips as hope started burning in her chest again. She knew she had little time and ignored the pain in her ankle as best she could and started jogging, hopping between every few steps to lift up the burden on her ankle a bit.

Pain stabbed through her leg with each step and at some point she almost stumbled to the ground when her leg suddenly gave in. She landed on her hands and knees and cursed when the bottle slipped from her fingers for a moment.
"Damn these wounds," she panted and struggled to get up to her feet again. "Come on. Come on!" she gasped and started hop-jogging as fast as she could.
She held her light tightly in her hands before lifting it up above her head when she heard a creature wail as it flew over. It seemed ages before she finally came to the buildings and quickly looked around. In the dark everything seemed pretty much the same.

Her side ached from exhaustion but she dared not pause. She knew that with two convicts the cells would be installed quicker than with only one man.
She heard the whirring of an engine and felt her hope escalate as well as falter.
"No. I gotta be on time," she whispered and stumbled around a building and saw the skiff standing there.
More tears of joy fell from her eyes. "I made it," she whispered and quickly hopped towards the ship.
'If I remember correctly… Fry stepped in front… of the ship… to stop Riddick,' she thought between pauses of air and hopped into the lights of the skiff. She mentally prayed she was not too late and stepped into the light.

Because of the light, she couldn't see if they had seen her but knew they must have if they or even one of them sat in the pilot's chair.
She heard the engine die and sighed in relief. She limped around the ship to the back where the hatch was already opening.
Riddick and Blade stood at the entrance and watched her with smirks on their faces. "Strong survival instinct." said Riddick with a condescending grin "I admire that in a woman." he told her to which Blade nodded.
"And so do I," he said.
She panted and tried to ignore the stabs of pain that went through her ankle and side. "I… I told them…" she gasped for breath for a moment "… I would come back with you guys…" she said between pants.

Riddick cocked his head to the side and Blade arched a brow and stared at her.
She knew what line they were thinking and a she swallowed a sob. "Did you?" mused Riddick with fake interest. She gritted her teeth. She had no time to deal with this.
"Yes, I did Riddick." she told him and panted again. Her legs shook slightly from all the hopping. Ignoring the burning in her calves, not to mention in her wounded ankle, she glared at them.
He hummed, but said nothing. She forced herself to think back to the movie but couldn't remember for sure what Fry had said to Riddick. 'It was something about being afraid…' she thought before it came back to her.

She forced the frown on her face that wanted to change into a smile and said: "What are you afraid of?" she asked and instantly was met with the mocking laughter of both Riddick and Blade.
Luna felt her cheeks redden from humiliation and gritted her teeth. "Us? Afraid?" asked Riddick amused before his face grew dead serious. "You always seem to know something we don't but as I said before, kitten,… you don't know anything about us," he rumbled and she sensed a hint of danger that hung around his words.

She growled and clenched her fist tightly around the bottle. "If you're not afraid then come back with me and let's go get Imam and Jack!" she countered loudly.
"We got a better idea. Why don't you come with us," stated Blade as he motioned towards the inside of the ship.
She gritted her teeth even harder before her shoulders sagged in defeat. She was no Fry, how was she to convince them to come back with her? She felt more tears fall and ignored them the best she could.

"Step inside," she heard Riddick order and glanced up at him. She now knew how Fry felt. This was torture. Pure mental torture. She knew how easy it was to just step inside and forget all about Jack and Imam.
'Just a few steps.' she thought absentmindedly before she shook her head softly. "I can't." she whispered softly and looked down at the ground. This was unfair.
"Sure you can." said Riddick
"We'll make it easy on you. Take our hands," said Blade as he and Riddick stuck out their hands.

She opened and closed her mouth and shook her head again.
"Come on." urged Riddick.
'This isn't fair! I can't do anything.' she thought hopelessly and dropped her head. She barely could hold back the sobs and choked on them. She then heard footsteps come down the hatch and stand next to her.
"Come on," urged Riddick again which made her grit her teeth as he urged her forwards.

'No! I can't give up like this!' she thought and clenched her hand tighter around the bottle in her hand. "Come on," he said but this time his words made anger bubble up inside of her.
"I Will Not Leave Them!" she yelled and elbowed him in the gut.
A soft grunt left his lips and she stood to full height and went to punch him. Riddick foresaw it this time and blocked it. He used the momentum and pushed her to the ground on her back.
She ignored the faint pain in her back from her wounds and tried to hit him with the bottle. He caught it and ripped it out of her hand and threw it to the side. He wasted no time and climbed on top of her.

She faintly heard a second pair of footsteps before two hands grabbed her wrists and held them locked next to her head, effectively stopping her from hitting Riddick. She glanced up and saw Blade crouched next to her head.
"You'd die for them?" Riddick demanded with a growl. Luna struggled against Blade's grip but he merely tightened his hold which caused her to hiss in pain. She then tried to kick Riddick but he sat down on her hips and made it impossible for her to move her legs.

Stopping her struggling she glared right in his eyes. "I Would Do Anything For Them… And For You Both!" Luna shouted into his face, her strength was fading fast and time was running out for the others.
Blade and Riddick shared a look before both started smirking. "Interesting." Riddick said.
"And what exactly did you have in mind?" asked Blade with a soft growl. She gritted her teeth for a moment.

"I said anything, I will not leave Jack or Imam to die on this hellish planet." Luna said with a glare. And she did mean anything, she could still see Jack's scared eyes as she moved the stone back. That little girl was not meeting her end here. She would made sure of it.
Riddick and Blade seemed to talk eye to eye above her after what she had said. Suddenly she felt like she had given the devil the key to her heart but in this case, it was two devils. Riddick looked down at the girl when he and Blade were done. There was some fear in her eyes but more fire like the time before.

She really would do anything for the others and it still shocked them that she would do the same for them. But that didn't stop what he and Blade wanted from her. "Here's the deal, kitten. You want our help, then we want something in return." She tensed slightly at those words and swallowed but nodded.
"W…what?" she asked, almost hesitant to know the answer.
"To start, you will give us some answers. You will tell us how ya knew what Johns did to catch us and all those other things as well." Blade said looking down at her, rain pouring down his head and onto hers.
"And where you're from. We know ya weren't on the ship when it crashed." Riddick added.

"Okay… okay, anything. Please we have to get back. " Luna said hurriedly. She was worried that the longer they waited, the higher the chance would be that the rock in front of the cave will break. "Listen, I'll tell you whatever you want AFTER we get the others safely back here." She told them.
"Oh that isn't all darlin'." Said Riddick as he grinned. "We also want something a little more..." He trailed off.
"W-what more do you want?" Luna asked with a slight stutter. Slowly the fact that Riddick was sitting on top of her and Blade was crouched next to her head was getting to the front of her mind. She did not know if she should be scared or blushing like mad right now.

But with both of them touching her it was a little hard to tell. She was just thankful that the rain was most likely hiding her lust.
"Blood." Blade spoke suddenly looking her right in the eye. "Your blood." He growled as he smirked down at her.
"O-okay, what else?" Luna asked feeling how her cheeks heated up. Riddick leaned down till his lips were inches away from hers.
"A kiss and something a little more… pleasurable," his words were spoken softly as he ghosted his lips over hers making her feel slightly dazed. "After all, me and Blade here haven't had the time to find a beautiful girl like yerself." Riddick purred as he moved down to her neck, breathing in her scent.

He couldn't resist. Her scent had something addictive to it and now that it was mixed up with slight arousal, he couldn't control himself. A deep growl rumbled from his throat as he nipped at her neck unable to control his animal.
Luna gasped in pleasure, her body heated up as a fluttery feeling pooled in her belly. Blade growled as well when her aroused scent made it to his nose through the rain. He could feel himself hardening as the girl gasped under Riddick; her blood sang to him.
A creature suddenly screeched in the distance.

Blade quickly broke out of his aroused state at the sound of the creatures. This wasn't the time nor the place to let his animal out. Blade tapped Riddick on the back of the head to get him focused again. "Riddick," called Blade, which made his friend growl.
"The creatures," he said which earned him another growl but this time Riddick pulled back. He managed to barely lock his inner beast up again.
He looked down at the woman under him. He smirked at her flushed face. "Do we have a deal...Luna?" Riddick rumbled into her ear. She could barely think but managed to answer.

"Y-yes." Luna whispered dazedly. "We have a deal."
Those words seemed to be a trigger, for both men pulled away from her and stood up. Riddick at the same time pulled her to her feet. Still slightly dazed, she shook her head to get back focused again. She noticed both men staring down at her with a smirk.
Their smirks quickly left their faces when they heard another creature whoop nearby. Both snapped their heads towards the sound before Riddick turned to her again. "Stay here. We'll go get the others." he ordered.

"Why can't I go with you?" she asked slightly annoyed that she was left out. "'Cuz of your wounds. You'd only slow us down," pointed Blade out which made her frown.
She knew they were right but that didn't mean she would have to like it. "Alright." she murmured and limped into the skiff.
The two men watched her for a moment before they left to go get the others. Luna turned around just in time to see them disappear in the dark and sighed before she sat down on one of the benches.

'Now it is only the waiting game.' she thought and sighed again before looking at her wounds. Her ankle was first and she found the three cuts a bit disgusting. They weren't deep but they weren't superficial either. Somewhere in-between actually.
She gently brushed her hands over the wounds and hissed softly when they stung slightly. One of the cuts was actually bleeding a bit. "Seems I'll have to keep myself from running for a while." she said to no one in particular.
Her eyes glided to her right arm and she grimaced. "My arm looks like Freddy Krueger got a chance at it." she mumbled with disgust and clenched and unclenched her fist to see if the cuts could handle it.

A whooping noise outside made her snap her head up to the entrance. She swallowed nervously. "They can't get in here. Light hurts them, light hurts them," she muttered under her breath repeatedly, trying to calm her nerves.
It wasn't working. Every screech of one of those creatures made her worry more and more for the others. "Please come back safe." she whispered and limped to the entrance.
She looked around outside but couldn't see anyone. A nearby whooping noise made her flinch and step back. She saw a bioraptor run around the skiff looking at her, trying to find a way to get to her before it disappeared.

She gulped. "Please hurry back guys." she whispered and stepped to the wall and leaned against it. She desperately wanted to go out and search for the others but knew that that would only make her a target.
Miraculously, she heard footsteps coming her way. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Imam and Jack running into the light. Both stopped once they were safe and panted hard.
She frowned. "Where are Riddick and Blade?" she asked worried to which the two glanced up at her. "T-they were right b-behind us," panted Jack as she tried to get some air in her lungs again.

Luna stepped down the hatch and was about to go look for them when the body of a creature suddenly landed in a heap right outside of the light barrier.
They all gasped before they sighed in relief when they saw that it was dead. She looked at it and wondered if another bioraptor had killed it when Blade and Riddick stepped in the light.
The moment she saw them, she couldn't stop the smile from appearing on her face. "Riddick! Blade!" she cried as the two stepped towards her. She never had been so happy to see someone as when she did now.

"Come on. We gotta leave," said Riddick as he brushed past her. Blade followed him inside and Imam and Jack helped her back up the hatch. Once they were all inside Blade closed the hatch and walked to the front and sat down in the second pilot chair as Riddick sat in the first.
"So much prayer to make up for. I scarcely know where to begin." said Imam as he played with his beads which caught Jack's attention.
"I know where I'd start." Jack commented calmly.

Riddick flicked several switches and was ready to lift off, slowly pushing the handle forwards when he suddenly pulled it down again. He flicked off all the lights and waited.
Luna knew what he was doing or at least, she hoped so. 'So much has changed. Riddick should've been wounded when he went back for them but he wasn't. Which means that Blade might've helped him out.' she thought faintly, now that she was safe from those creatures, she quickly felt exhaustion creeping up on her.
