Part II
Riddick jolted awake inside his cryo-tube. He gave the release lever a pull, the door opening. He stepped out as he was also given a push forward by the material in the back of the tube. He glanced about slowly, letting his thoughts and memories catch up with him. His silver orbs stopped on the empty cryo-tube next to his. A frown crossed his face. *Jack...*
He shook his head softly before making his way down the small hall in his ship, Redemption. Her scent still filled this place. it brought old memories bubbling to the surface.
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------*
Jack sat in the small mess hall sipping a cup of coffee. A few dirty blond bangs falling in her blue eyes.
"You know that'll stunt your growth, Kid."
Jack gave Riddick a wide smirk. "I'm eighteen , please." She rolled her eyes playfully at him. "And I'm hardly a 'kid', Riddick."
Riddick chuckled and grabbed his own cup of coffee, sitting down across from her.
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------*
Riddick sighed as he stared down into his cup of coffee. *Damn this humanity. damn her for giving it back to me. damn her for taking it away from me.*
He closed his eyes and put the half drank cup of coffee down on the counter. It was difficult to be human, it was so much easier and natural to be the beast he once was. *But Jack wouldn't want that.. She wouldn't want me to be the beast again.*
He growled in frustration at the battle that was waging inside him. *Good verses Evil.* He didn't need three guesses to know which one would win over in the end.
