Chapter 9:
Jack woke up to the slight movement under her. She jumped up and glanced around, she was in Riddick's room, the events from earlier came back to her slowly. Fuck, she could feel the color rising in her face. She glanced around, Riddick looked like he was waking up slowly, she hurried out of the room, better to act like nothing's happened.
Riddick awaked fully when he heard the door to the other room close. Fuck, he hadn't ment to fall asleep. Jack must have high tailed out of there the instant she woke up. He looked at the clock on the wall, they had been asleep for five hours. He hadn't slept that long in years, or that well, although the crink in his neck he could do with out. Time to deal with Jack. He walked to the door, and opened it slowly, he walked through the bathroom to the other room, quietly to not alert Jack to his presence. He saw her sitting on the edge of her bed with her shiv in her hands, she had it held up to her hand and was pressing it in, not enough to bleed. Suddenly she dropped it and put her hands over her face.
"Come on, I want to show you something." His voice sounded loud to even him in the quiet room.
Jack looked up startled. "How long have you been there."
He gave her a small grin, "Long enough Jack, long enough."
She gave him a funny look and followed him as he walked out the door. He walked to the cargo room across the hallway and entered, inside was huge, half of it was a cargo room, and the rest looked like a dojo mats on the floor a punching bag and various other objects she couldn't identify. She gave him a confused look and walked around.
"What am I in here for?"
He gave her a grin and then turned serious again. "When ever you feel like you did a few minutes ago, the need to cut, come in here instead and work out."
Jack looked at him, would that work, she glanced back at the punching bag, she did want to hit it.
"Also from now on at 0600 and 1400 you'll meet me in here and I'll teach you how to fight and defend yourself. Consider it part of your training." With that he walked out the door.
Jack glanced back once and stared at the punching bag, she reached out and lightly tapped it, then she took a step back and started to kick it.
Riddick stood outside the door and listened to the light tap that ment she was hitting the bag and to the steady thuds that followed. He gave a grin and walked up the stairs to the main room, she was well on her way to recovery.
