'Thoughts'
"Talking"
Chapter 19
Eyes wide, Harry barely took in a breath when he did it was stuttered and left him feeling breathless as shock race through him, his mind was going a mile a minute as he tried to understand what he just heard, all this time has passed and there were still wizards and witches in the universe. It was near to hard to believe after he saw how dead earth had become he didn't think for one minute there were any magical people left. He hadn't run into any or felt any magic anywhere so this was a shock to the system.
"Yes. He spoke much of his travels with my father. The clearest thing I can recall was him saying something about his and his kin search for some kind of key or seed that they must find. I sadly in my youth paid it no mind as he was speaking to father and I was too happy to be playing with the puppy he made appear, He never did explain what that was to father thought it quite strange." Imam told looking to Harry to see if those words meant anything to him.
"Key? Seed?. I've no clue what that's all about, never heard anything on that in the years before I fell asleep. But to know my kind still, alive to this day. I can't believe it. I thought they had all die out when I woke to earth being nothing more than a barren world." Harry whispered the last part. The news was hitting him harder than he estimated. To think there were wizards and witches travelling among the stars. It filled him with some hope.
"Why haven't I ever heard about them? Have you Shazza?" Jack asked, turning to Shazza. Braking Harry from his thoughts.
"No. Though there were rumors here and there about beings that could use energy to their will I thought it was all fairy tales told to kids." Shazza answered running a hand through her hair.
"That is because they keep themselves hidden so they not to be used or abused for their gifts. It's only through my father I ever meet such a person." Imam explained.
"So you haven't met a wizard or witch since waking Harry?" Shazza asked him.
"No." Harry shakes his head. "I thought I was the only one left after waking from my sleep on earth. It was dead of any magic or life. I thought they all died off. If it wasn't for Maz and his crew I wouldn't have gotten off the planet."
Imam and Shazza both looked at him in sympathy, they both knew earth had been abandoned for centuries. Only salvage crews visited the planet that once held so much life for relics and old tech to sell.
Fry, on the other hand, couldn't believe that they were all fine with the bastard being more of a freak than before. A bloody wizard of all things. Didn't they know things like energy users were meant to be feared, everyone she had met had been taken down quickly, they were too dangerous to be left walking around free, and if wizards were real they should be more concerned, not making bloody friends with the freak. From what she had seen in the past they could make you do whatever they commanded with a wave of a stick.
"What the hell! If he's a wizard wouldn't the others be alive and at the skiff instead out here in this hell hole with these things waiting to eat us." She shouted making them all jump at the sheer volume of her voice.
Gritting his teeth, Harry stored the information Imam had given him, for now, to go over later, hopefully, asking him more on it than. He so wanted to talk more with the man but he had a bitch from hell to deal with first. It was time to put her in her rightful places in this group. the bottom.
"Get this through that fucking tiny mind of yours, Fry," Harry growled taking a step towards her. With each word, he took a step towards her until he was right in her face. "I. am. Not. GOD!"
"Do you think for a minute that we would still be on this stupid planet if I had the power to get us off of it! Have you been listening at all to anything I've said in the last few hours or are you to thick! My magic isn't working as it should be! GOT THAT! Now shut that piehole you call a mouth and leave me alone you crazy ass bitch before I ripe your bloody head off!" Harry hissed like a snake in her face. Eyes flashing red and fangs visible. He saw the real pure fear in her eyes as they stared wide-eyed at him, she was scared shitless of him and he didn't care one bit. She pushed him to far this time and he wasn't putting up with her bull shit anymore, not when they still had the canyon to get through. He was inches away from ripping her apart and she knew that.
Suddenly echoes and screeches appeared from all around them, the creatures were becoming excited with the intense sounds the group was making. They could smell the bloodlust and fear coming from their prey.
Ali whimpered and burrow deeper into his brother's side in terror. While Suleiman held him tightly looking around at the surrounding darkness, fear evident in his eyes.
"I do believe we should make haste," Imam announced moving to stand behind his boys, protectively placing his hands on their shoulders.
"I second that," Shazza nervously said. Having never seen Harry so angry since meeting him not even after the hole. she didn't fault him for it, he had every right to be pissed with Fry always on his case.
"Right. Jack come here, we need to get this shield over you." Harry directed, moving away from Fry having no more time for her. 'I'll deal with her later but for now, we need to get the hell out of here.'
Jack nodded shakily, moving to stand in front of him as she had done back at the ship.
Closing her eyes again she felt the same strangeness come over her again, she asked. "It still feels weird."
Harry chuckled. "It will, you're aren't accustomed to the feeling of magic. So it will be strange."
The others, bar Fry, looked on in awe as a light glow covered Jack's entire body before fading into her skin.
"Pretty." Ali smiled his face lit up at the light display.
Imams head shoot from watching Jack and Harry and look down at his youngest. Imam beamed with pride as he said. "Ali, well done, yes it is 'pretty.'"
"Is that his first word in common?" Shazza asked once the light show was over.
"Yes. I have been teaching it to them as we made our journey to our new home. Ali had more trouble than his bothers." Imam placed his hand on Ali's turbaned head.
Harry smiled happily at the little boy. Seeing the joy and pride on Imams face nearly made Harry wish for a little one of his own. 'Maybe in a few years, I and Riddick will be in the right place that it's safe enough to have a few little ones running around.' Harry thought, grinning as he images telling Riddick he was with child. He hoped he had a camera handy though he could always us his pensieve instead if he didn't have one on hand.
Clearing his thoughts of the, for now, Harry turned his attention back to the group in time to see imam hug Ali and give his praises for his first word that wasn't a name. and at that moment Harry knew he would do anything to make damn sure Imam didn't lose his last two boys to these beasts.
If there was to be any blood spilled tonight it was going to be the blue blood of theirs.
"If you're all done playing," Riddick said stepping into their light causing them all to turn to face him. "It's time to go."
Harry's happy mood fled at those words and those around him grew tense. Fear growing in them as it was time to run for their lives.
0-0-0-0-0-0
Imam and Harry dragged the Cells to the start of the canyon and set them down, turning their attention on Riddick to hear the plan. They needed one with all the creatures inside waiting for them.
"Only see one way." Riddick pointed straight down the canyon. "That way."
Everyone gazed at the dark canyon, two rock cliffs faced each other, they were so high that none bar Riddick could see where they finished, the gap between the two was not wide but maybe that will change once they were going through. They had been lucky the sand-cat fit the first time but no one of them remembers looking around when they went through.
"Only one clear path through," Shazza said tensely. hating how scared she felt, this was it the last part of their journey.
Both Harry and Riddick could smell the fear pouring off the group, though some held up better than others. Especially when the echoes grow louder in the dark.
"It's the only way off this rock." Riddick turned back to face Imam and Shazza. "Just keep the kids between you both at all times."
Imam and Shazza nodded in agreement moving to Jack, Suleiman and Ali placing them in the middle of them, Suleiman staying close to his father and brother with a bottle in his shaky hand.
Tightening his bag strap over his shoulder, not want to lose it at this point after all he never knew when it would come back. Harry made his way to Riddick's side.
"You ready for this Vixen?" he asked looking down at his beautiful little mate.
"As I'll ever be Riddick," Harry said raising a hand to touch Riddick's cheek, whispering. "Watch you're back my hunter. I didn't wait this long for you to lose you now."
Riddick knew his mate was concerned with him being in the back with no back up as he was leading them through. "You watch your front, don't take any chances and use whatever you need to, to stay alive. I mean it, Harry. I have plans for you later."
"I will Riddick," Harry whispered. There was no way he was going to lose to these monsters in the dark, not now.
With one last kiss to see them though they broke apart and Harry moved to the front of the group, bottle held high up above his head.
"What about the cells?" Fry asked her tone tense giving away how nervous she was. As she watched Riddick walk towards where they had been placed at the back of the group.
"I'll take those," Riddick said looking at her before turning to look at his mate and share one last look. 'Don't take any chances, Harry, be safe.' Riddick thought before he pulled his goggles over his eyes, holding the cell line behind him he ordered. "Move."
"Are you sure you're kept up?" Fry asked not happy he was taking all the cells but at the same time, she was concerned he was putting his life in danger like this.
Harry gritted his teeth, he so wanted to slap the bitch to get her fucking eyes off HIS mate. But knowing this wasn't the time to let his emotions get the better of him again. It was too dangerous right now. 'Later. Can let loose later.'
"MOVE!" Riddick roared to get the sheep moving. Harry shot off into the canyon. The torch lighting the way for the others to follow. They stayed tight together, Imam and Shazza keeping Ali and jack covered in light with Suleiman behind the two kids. Fry had moved to the left of Harry wanting to be leading but she fell behind when the echoes become louder, not wanting to risk her life to be the leader.
Running towards a bend in the canyon when a swam of hatchlings whipped around the corner, heading straight towards them. Harry quickly raised the torchlight to part them like the red sea. Close behind him he heard Shazza whimper in hear. It wasn't long ago these things nearly killed her. everyone bunched up behind him when some of the hatchlings got to close and set themselves on fire from the touches. Causing Riddick behind them to dodge the little fireballs that came straight at him.
"IT'S NOT ENDING!" Fry screamed in fear as more and more kept coming, closing around them. They were getting so close to her that she felt them tugging on her clothes.
"They must be looping around like before!" Shazza shouted out.
"HARRY!" Riddick roared dodging more hackling fireballs. "Burn the fuckers!"
Harry heard his mate loud and clear. They were going to die if they didn't pass through this shit storm and soon. Looking at the torch in his hand he came up with an idea. Forcing his magic down his arm into his hand, raising up the torch more into the swam he will his power into the flame of the bottle, raising his other hand to the torch he let the flame jump between the two. Back and forth it grows in strength. Soon his whole hand had become engulfed in flames the others behind him looked in awe as Harry's skin didn't burn and as hatchlings stared away from it giving them a little more room to move. Without getting hit. Letting his magic build inside Harry took a deep breath, Harry prayed. 'Let this work.'
"AHHH!" Harry yelled as he released all his power into his flaming hand. With a blast the magic shoot forward, the fire was like that of a flame thrower, consuming everything in its path.
The smell of burned flesh and screeches of pain rang through the air. It sent shivers down the group's spines as they covered their mouths from the smell, it was very hard to breathe for the moment it was near choking them. When it all dies down, Harry leaned forward panting in exhaustion. His hand burned at having used so much element magic through it. He had to clench it to get some feeling back into it.
Around them, charred corpses and the sounds of screeches grow louder as the hatchling that got out of the way in time to not be killed but still badly hurt were grab by adults and eaten.
Riddick gritted his teeth in frustration as he could tell how tired his mate was but they need to keep moving before they were attacked again. with regret, he called to harry. "Harry, we have to move."
Looking back at Riddick he nodding but doing so made him stumble forward in dizziness. Before he could fall Imam and Shazza grabbed his arms and held him up. both looked at him in concern. Shazza asked. "You okay?"
"Yeah, just took it out of me for a moment. Thanks." Harry panted to them, standing straight with their help he pushed the wariness and exhaustion aside. There be time later to rest. "Come on."
They once again pushed onward having survived their first wave. Sadly their ordeal was far from being over. Suddenly something started to fall upon them, like rain. The scent of death increased in Harry's nose and he felt something wet and thick land on his cheek. Looking down at his hand that he held up Harry's eyes widen when blue liquid fell on it and ran down his arm. 'What in the!'
"DO NOT LOOK UP!" Riddick roared out pissed and Harry looked back to see Shazza hadn't listened, she was slowing down as she watched in shock as the beasts killed each other above them.
"They're killing each other!" she called out in warning before Riddick knocked her forward back into a run and out the way of a creature's body that fell right where she had been standing.
"KEEP moving!" Riddick shouted at her pushing her onwards.
They all begin to dodge the falling bodies. Making it into a deadly obstacle course. Just when Harry thought it couldn't get any worse. It did.
As around another bend their way was blocked by bones, the ones they had hit on their out with the sand-cat. What made it worst was more of the creatures kept on falling and not just around them now but on the goddamn bones as well, it was making it near impossible to see a way through.
"Riddick!" Harry called out. he couldn't see a way through. "What way?!"
"Move!" Riddick yelled coming up behind them fast. "Keep moving. There's a way!"
He shoots out in front of them, when he came to the block he dropped the cell line and started to remove some of the bones out of the way. Imam was quick to his aid and helped him as Harry and Shazza used their lights to keep the creatures off their backs. Fry's eyes were wide with panic as she moved closer to the kids for security, she kept looking up at the fighting creatures praying none fell on her. She near jumped out of her skin when one did.
Riddick and Imam cleared the way quickly, moving as much as they could, some pieces were just too big to shove out the way. They still would have to crouch down and climber over some of the bones but they can now get through. Riddick reaches down and grabs the cell line again before going through first, dragging them behind him. Imam went next pulling Ali with him and helping him.
"GO GO!" Harry called pushing Shazza and Jacks backs so they go under. Looking back to Fry he yelled to get her attention. "Fry, come on! Move!"
She immediately moved over and crouch under after the other two but not before throwing Harry a dirty look. Harry ignored it and instead he called to Suleiman. "Suleiman, quickly."
Suleiman started to crawl under when one of the creatures that laid dead next to the bone tunnel suddenly moved, it had enough life to know food is nearby with its hunger so great it shoots its clawed hand forward and dug its claws into the boy's leg.
"AHHH!" Suleiman cried, fear and pain racing through his mind, grabbing the bone arch in pain, he tried to kick its hold off his leg. Calling loudly for his father.
"Suleiman!" Imam cried, reaching over the bones to grab a hold of his son. His hold tight as visions of his other son death appeared in his mind. Shazza ran other to help, leaving Jack to look after Ali. The girl moved to follow but Shazza shoots her a look to stay.
Harry acted quickly, pulling a blade from behind his back he started slashing at the creatures arm. Cutting into its flash as he tried to make it let the boy go. He sneered "Get off him!"
The creature cried out in pain but didn't let its grip lessen, its hunger stronger than its pain.
"Fucker! Let him GO NOW!" Harry roared slash down into its bone. Sulieman screamed in pain as its crews dung into his flesh. In his panic he let his bottle go to grab his fathers arms.
It slammed into the ground shattering and as its flame touched the liquid on the grouch it caused a large flash of fire, big enough to make the creature finally let the boy go to move away from the burning pain. This gave Harry the opportunity he needed. When it rolled onto its side. He quickly shoots forward and sliced its throat. Its cries fell silent and Harry sighed in relief.
"Pull him through!" He ordered to the others, his eyes darting around them to see if the scent of Sulieman's blood drew more creatures to them. It was so heavy in the air that he could nearly taste it on his tongue. He didn't have any time to put a scent block on the teen. They had to move and fast.
Imam quickly pulled his son through the hole and right into his arms dragging the boy quickly under the bones to their side and away from the dead creature. Both adults began to look over his injury. Imam seeing the bloody gash on the leg started tearing the bottom of his robes, making makeshift bandages.
Putting the shiv away Harry crawled through quickly, not happy to have his back being so unprotected. Once beside them, he looked up to see Riddick had moved way ahead of them. He didn't panic seeing his mate so far away though, he knew if Riddick kept stopping for them he wouldn't be able to keep going again. Not with the weight of those Cells, no matter how strong his mate was on a good day, they had all been through too much with little food or water and dragging that much weight would be draining his strength quickly.
Over by Jack and Ali, the little boy dropped her hand and rushed over to his family, worry for his bother clear on his little face at seeing his brother attacked. Leaving Jack all on her own as she stood there and stared in shock, all she could do was watch the others try to bandage the bleeding leg. Fry was nearest to her but soon moved closer to the bigger light source not caring that the teen was left alone in the dark.
Finally taking her eyes off the scene in front of her, she turned to look for Riddick, her eyes widen when she saw him getting further away from them. 'No. Please no, Riddick, come back.' Those words race through Jack's mind, the man she saw as her hero was leaving them behind. Her breath caught in her throat, panic eating away at her insides as in her mind as the only thing that was keeping her safe from the monsters was leaving her behind because he didn't notice them no-longer following.
"Riddick, wait!" Jack yelled. "Riddick!"
Harry's head darts up when he heard her shout and noticed straight away she was alone in the open with a low light touch. His eyes shoot upwards when a creature called out and he saw it dive down towards the girl.
"Jack Down!" Harry cried in fear. Bolting from the other's he runs full pelt towards her. Jack heard him and looked up.
"AHH!" she yelled seeing the beast heading towards her, quickly she scrambled underneath a large bone structure dropping her light as she did so. Using it as a shield as she desperately attempted to escape the monster that landed on it and was now above hitting the bone with its head.
Harry kept on running towards her, picking up her light as he dashed by, the creature hit the top of the bones, again and again, it started to really hammer against it with its bladed head. Trying desperately to get at its meal. Hunger driving it.
"Shit!" Harry roared darting as close as he dared, shiv in one hand and Jack's flashlight in the other he started to slash with the shiv at the creature's side and burning it with his light, but nothing made it back off. "Get off her!"
Shaaza eyes widen in fear for Jack and she quickly ran over to help Harry. Swinging her touch flame at the creature trying to back it back off as well, she screamed. "GET AWAY you bastard!"
"Riddick!" Harry screamed in pain when the tail slammed into him sending him flying into a wall. The blade on the end barely missed his body but it caught his touch causing him to drop it. Breaking the flashlight and making him cast in darkness causing the creature to hiss at the easier meal in front of it.
Riddick turned sharply at his mate cry. Seeing his Vixen down a great rage burned through him. Pulling his goggles down to hand off his neck Riddick dropped the cells line and raced back to the others. He let out a great roar that caught the creature's attention.
Slightly dazed from the hit Harry looked up in time to see the beast turn from him a screech out a challenge, shooting into the air it flows towards his Hunter as he charges forward.
They met halfway across a small clearing of bones. Riddick used his speed to catch the creature's arms, holding its clawed hands away. the distances also kept the bladed head away so it couldn't hit him.
Its teeth snapped inches from his faces. If he hadn't been using all his strength holding it back he would have commented on its bad breath instead he twisted the right arm till the bone broke, with one arm out of commission Riddick used the time to creature screamed in pain to pull out his shiv and slash at its underbelly.
The beast reared back with more screeches of pain. Riddick dropped its arm and quickly pulled out his other shiv, slashing in an X across its belly, the skin slip apart and its entrails spilled to the ground. With a few more slashes it fell to the ground, withering in agony. Riddick slammed his blade's into the grouch and grab its head, with a twist he snapped its neck.
Bending down he picked up his shiv's and turned to look at the shocked faces of Shazza and Jack who had gotten out from under the bones. He said calmly. "He DID not know who he was fuckin' with."
'Merlin, that's sexy as hell.' Harry thought breathlessly. He was quickly helped up by little Ali, who had rushed over to his side.
Riddick did a quick glance over Harry, making sure he wasn't hurt by his slam into the wall. Seeing his mate smile, his eyes clear and filled with want for him, he felt the rage that had fuelled him in his fight faded back into a simmer once more.
Imam got Suleiman to his feet and helped him over to the others. When Harry looked down at the bandaged leg he knew the boy was going to need a lot of aid to walk, let alone run. He then checks on Shazza and saw she had Jack in her arms. Both shaken by the attack. His eyes lead him to Fry, the bitch hadn't help once while Jack was in trouble instead staying where it was safest, now she was looking over at Riddick with a longing look that just pissed him right off. 'That woman is blind anything but Riddick and even there she can't see he is not interested.'
Abruptly the echoes and cries rose around them, it was time to get moving again, they had held still for too long and didn't have light to spare for another stop.
Picking up the cells Riddick set off again into the night. Taking point he leads them through the canyon now. If they weren't in so much danger Harry would of enjoying the view of his strong mate right about now, that lovely firm backside was something that should be appreciated. He still remembered the feeling of those cheeks when his mate was claiming him back at the settlement. He felt himself stiffen slightly and quickly jolted his thoughts away from those images. 'Merlin, get your mind out of the gutter. You can't afford to have your body reacting like a horny teen right now or your luck will run out.'
To ease his heated blood he looked over the others to check how they were holding up. Shazza had Ali and Jack beside her, her eyes skimming around for any threats. A shape gasp made him turn to see Fry looking fearful up at the edges of the canyon, he quickly followed her eyes to see what spoked her. A creature was crawling along the edge, following them. Not for long as it was interrupted by another one appeared and started a fight. Turning back to Fry he called out evenly. "Keep up Fry. We're not stopping."
She sent him a dirty look before doing as he said. 'She needs to go. I've lost count of how many dirty looks she sent me in the last hour alone.'
Another gasp pulled him from his thoughts as this one was of pain. Harry frowned as he watched Imam help his oldest son to run, the poor lad was struggling to keep up. Abruptly Suleiman's leg collapsed under him causing him to cry out as he fell to the ground. Harry made his way over as them as Imam fell beside his son trying to get him up again.
Stopping beside them Harry reach down to help the lad up, seeing he couldn't put any weight on the leg Harry turned to Imam. "You have to carry him, Imam, I don't think his leg can take any more."
"Of course," Imam said determined to help his son through this. With that Imam handed his touch to Suleiman before picking him up bridal style, he will carry his son to the end if he had to, he wasn't losing any more children to this planet. Harry followed beside them on high alert for anything.
They all came to a stop not long after when something started to drop down from overhead, at first Harry thought it was blood again but the scent was clear and when he realized it wasn't warm he looked up with his hand out. droplets fell onto his palm and face clearing the blood away.
"Oh Merlin, No." Harry cursed. It was raining of all things. It fell harder and harder till it was a downpour and all Harry could feel was despair. The flames in their hands started to stutter and flicker as they became wet. Shazza and Jack tried to save theirs in panic by putting their hands over it as much as they could but it was no good, the water was dimming their light.
The rain came down on them heavily drenching them to the bone within moments and their spirits fell with it.
Harrys and the other's heads dart towards Riddick when the man let out a deep mocking laugh as he turned to face them, water running down his face. "So, where the hells your god now?"
Imam grimaced at his words but said nothing as Harry quickly herded them to the canyon wall for cover. Harry said. "Quick take cover, save the light!"
Once against the wall Shazza and Jack relight one of the touches that had died out, socking the coth in more alcohol so it would catch even being so waterlogged. They were down to three now and all were less than half full now. Something that troubled them all but none voice it.
Harry gently pushed Ali over to the girls so he could help Imam put tighter bindings around Suleiman's leg, the wound was bad, he'd been cut all the way down to the bone but there was nothing they could do for it now, not out here with the creatures waiting for them and their lights almost gone. Binding it tightly to stem the bleeding was all they could do for now. Nodding to Imam once they did the best they could he stood and looking around as rain descended.
There was no way their light would survive in this downpour. Fear gripped Harry tightly in its claws as he realized how deep in shit they were right now.
"Riddick" Harry called trying to keep the alarm from his voice as he faced his mate. "Are we close?! Please tell me its right there. Please"
Riddick didn't answer and the echos around them grew louder making Harry fall back against the wall next to Suleiman for support. The fear he felt down the hole was nowhere near what he was feeling now and it was near crippling him. Harry called again begging for hope. "Just tell me that the settlement is right there!"
"We won't make it," Riddick spoke lowly, watching monsters in front of them battle each other. There was no clear path through, not with so little light.
Harry gritted his teeth while despair washed over him at those words. There was no way they'll make it to the skiff without more light, they would lose someone trying with him and Riddick being the only fighters, his mate couldn't fight carrying the cells though leaving only him and there was no way he could protect everyone. Bowing his head his hands fisted as he fought with himself.
'Do not give up now my son, there is always a way through the darkness you just have to find the light.' The voice of his papa spoke inside his mind followed by an image of his
papa holding a candle in a dark room, waving his hand over it and lighting it with wandless magic.
Those words sent peace through him, taking a breath he looked up to see what he could work with when his eyes landed on Fry who was staring at him. He felt a jolt of fear and confusion at her expression, she had a creepy smug look like all her birthdays had come at once. Then her eyes went upwards and a please look crossed her face.
She was looking at something above him and suddenly all the hairs on his body stood up and fear gripped him. 'No.'
His head shot up but it was too late he saw a flash of grey flash as a tail wrap around his neck before it pulled him right off the ground and up the wall.
"RIDDICK!" Harry screamed as he clawed at the tail kicking his legs as he was dragged away. but it was no use the creature kept on pulling him up. "RIDDICK!"
"HARRY!" Riddick span around and rushed to his mate's side but it was too late and the last sight he had of his mate was those panicked filled green eyes before he disappeared over the top of the canyon.
"HARRY!" Riddick roared in despair and rage slamming his fists into the cliff wall again and again.
"HARRRYYY!"
(ME) well here we are again, now it's all new from here on out, what has become of Harry, is he alive or... will Fry pay for what she has done. Find out on the next chapter of Not Alone Anymore.
