Chapter 7:
Jack jumped slightly and looked around, he was standing in the bathroom doorway. She gave a quick smile and dropped the Shiv near her bag and continued to rifle through it. "What ever are you talking about Riddick?" She murmured as she pulled out a headset and container of disks.
He growled slightly, he knew what she was up to, he should have waited. He had been coming back to explain, to try and get her to understand. He hadn't abandoned her, he did want her around, he just needed to straighten some things out, and to let her grow up a bit. When he'd seen her there, watching the shiv's light change colors he knew what she was up to, he could smell the anticipation on her, he saw the gleam in her eye. He couldn't let her do it, he had to stop her from doing this.
Jack looked up as Riddick grabbed her by her arms and lifted her up, effectively pining her against the wall.
"What the fuck's the matter with you Jack?" He growled out.
She felt the pricks starting at her eyes, her insides were twisting, turning, she felt like she was going to die. "Leave me alone Riddick." The words sounded weak even to her.
"Why? So you can sit here cutting yourself open? Push all your emotions into some dark hole? Lie to everyone, including yourself?" He growled out. He could feel her shaking against him.
"I don't know what your talking about Riddick." She was scared, he knew, he knew everything, how she was dealing. It was almost funny, he was the one trying to stop her, and he was the cause of it all.
"Damn it Jack!" He slammed his hand against the wall beside Jack's head. He could smell her fear jump up a notch and he instantly regretted it. He was here to fix her, he couldn't do that if she was afraid of her. "Don't do this."
With that he turned away from her and stalked out of the room, slamming the bathroom door behind him, a few seconds later the other bathroom door slammed shut. Jack once again fell to the floor.
