Chapter 8:
He was pissed, now his own crew members were fucking with him.
"Where the fuck are they Chole." He growled out.
"Riddick, look, this isn't right." She sighed and looked away, a tear coming to her eye, Jack wasn't dead, and slowly an idea came to mind. "I know I should have told you sooner, earlier, but I couldn't. She's dead, I saw it with my own eyes, she slit her wrists, Jeff was there, he told me to leave. So I did." She let another tear slip down her face at the memory.
Riddick looked at her for a moment before laughing out loud. Chole's head jerked up to look at him. Riddick looked down at her and laughed again, quietly this time.
"How dumb do you think I am Chole, I know you better than that." He paused and gave her a small smile. "I'm going to get her back, and kill him. No matter what the cost. You should know better than to lie to me." He turned and walked towards the door, pausing and throwing a look over his shoulder. "She's mine, just like you were. You never could escape me, and neither will she." He growled softly and walked out of the room.
Chole shuddered she had almost forgot about that. She shuddered again, she walked slowly to hers and Scott's bedroom, hopefully he would be there. She opened the door quietly, he was lying on the bed. She gave a small grin and watched him, he was beautiful. She crept up to the bed quietly and laid down beside him, snuggling up close to him. She felt him shift and wrap his arms around her. She started to shudder again, she hated when Riddick brought that up.
"What's wrong Chole?" Scott asked quietly. He always knew when something was wrong.
She gave a small sigh, " I told him she was dead. He didn't believe me, funny thing is, he's right, she's not dead. Not like I thought." She stopped and sighed. "Obviously Jeff hid some things from us. I tried to warn them you know, and he found out. How does he do it?"
Scott gave a quiet laugh, "He's inhuman, I swear it. Now, what's this about Jack not being dead?"
She explained to him about the call and about what happened between her and Riddick. Taking in soft tones.
Scott sighed and pulled her closer to him, "I'm glad she's not dead, and I'm glad that you could warn Jeff and Jack, and I'm sorry you had to face Riddick alone. But you know that it's the past, you have to let it go, he's just doing it to upset you, and bring up bad memories. You know he never meant to hurt you, he's just, complicated."
Chole shuddered and drew herself closer to Scott.
Jack sighed from inside her room, she again in the past two months was packing her things again, and again, this time she was running from Riddick. God how she hated to run, especially from him. But she trusted Chole, and if she said it was a bad idea to stick around, it probably was. So Jeff and Jack separated and started to pack up their belongings.
Jeff walked towards Jack's door and stood in the doorway for a minute watching, she was far away in thought. He knocked quietly at the door frame, causing her to jump. God she was beautiful. He shook his head, he wasn't getting into this. Not now.
"You ready?" His voice was quiet, concerned.
"Yeah, almost. You?" She asked, equally as quiet.
"Yeah, I've got us a shuttle out of here, to the next system, but from there, we're on our own."
Jack nodded, it was enough for now. She felt bad about bringing him into this, she never meant to hurt him. She gave him a quick glance, she had a feeling she hurt him a lot already. He cleared his throat and brought Jack back to her senses.
"We, um, should get going. Don't want to be late." He whispered quietly.
Jack nodded again, she hated how she couldn't read him, she was wondering what he was thinking, he had that look on his face, which meant he was wrapped up in his thoughts, and for not the first time, she wanted to know what it was about. She sighed, she was slowly starting to fall for him. Slowly yet steadily she was starting to have a crush on him.
Okay, I hope this is a bit better! I'll try to write longer! I promise! Thanks so much!!
He was pissed, now his own crew members were fucking with him.
"Where the fuck are they Chole." He growled out.
"Riddick, look, this isn't right." She sighed and looked away, a tear coming to her eye, Jack wasn't dead, and slowly an idea came to mind. "I know I should have told you sooner, earlier, but I couldn't. She's dead, I saw it with my own eyes, she slit her wrists, Jeff was there, he told me to leave. So I did."
