I don't own anything. Ok here is the second to last chapter. And if I don't get some awesome reviews I will hold off loading the last chapter for a long time. Haha. Just kidding. I love you guys. I can't do that to you. You will get the last chapter when I can give it. Which will hopefully be really soon. Thank you all for your reviews. This chapter is dedicated to all those little people I had to step on to get here. (Sniff sniff, puts hand to pearls and waves cheesily.)

Noir's POV

"Riddick." I said as I traced little patterns over his chest.

"Hmm." He said. I looked up into his face.

"Why did they send you to slam in the first place?" I felt him tense under me.

"You don't want to know." He sighed. I kissed his chest.

"Yes I do." I said quietly. He sighed and I felt it down in his chest.

"I killed a few people." He said. I knew he didn't want to tell me. I dug deeper anyway.

"Riddick. Please." I begged. He looked down at me.

"I was an orphan you know? I grew up in a home for boys. And trust me you would not want to know about the home for boys." He

said. I stared up caringly into his face. "One day when I was twelve I got into a fight with this bigger kid. He

wanted my place among the other boys. I wasn't going to give it up without a fight. So we both grabbed

some shivs and went to a secluded little park and we duked it out. I wasn't going to kill him. Only scare him a

little but he jumped at me and wound up getting stuck on my shiv. Some one saw it and called the blues.

They came and tried to arrest me but I got away. Killed one and injured another before I ran. After that I had

no where to go. So I taught myself to pilot and I went through out the galaxy looking for a place to stay.

But I was a cop killer so my picture was all over every planet. I killed some more people before I got

caught. Life sentence five times over to be server consecutively. Then I got good at escaping. Killed some

more. Got sent to slam a few more times. Escaped again and wound up on a planet with things that only came

out at night and could rip the flesh off of a huge leviathan in seconds. Then two years later I got caught

again and taken back to slam. And I met this girl there and she was smart and sexy. And I might add. Very

frustrating." He watched my face as if

expecting me to turn away disgusted. I leaned up and kissed him lightly on the lips then I laid my head back

down on his chest.

"You don't seem like the kind of man who would kill anymore." I told him while tracing little circles on his

chest. He grabbed my hand with his.

"And why is that?" He asked. I looked up at him.

"Because. I gave you reasons to kill or rape me in slam and you didn't. You didn't kill anyone until they

attacked you." I told him." And because of last night." I smiled at him." A killer

would not treat me like fine porcelein."He leaned down and kissed me passionately. A low growl escaped

his throat.

"Your not fine porcelain anymore." He said teasingly. He flipped me onto my back and began to kiss my

neck. He held my hands over my head.

"Riddick." I giggled. "My your resilient."
I woke up slowly savoring Riddicks warmth next to me. The sheets were tangled around my legs. I sat up

and pulled the sheet over my chest.

"Hey." Riddick said. I turned and looked at him." Who told you to cover up?" I smiled at him and leaned over

and kissed him.

"Goodmorning." I said. He smiled. I ripped the sheets off of him and headed into the bathroom.

"Where are you going?" He asked behind me.

"To get dressed." I said. "We need some money and I know where to get it."

Riddick was wearing his goggles and torn shirt. I was wearing my mud stained shorts and no shoes.

Needless to say we got alot of looks from passersby. We walked hand in hand down the street looking for

and ATM. Finally we found one and I entered in a pin number.

"What are you doing?" Riddick asked. "If you get into your account they'll trace us." I smiled and nodded.

"My mother has an emergency account for me or her. Whoever needs it first." I explained as balances

appeared. "She set it up under a phony name and we both deposited into over the years." I took out half of

the credits.

"IS your mother..um.. like you?" I asked. She smiled.

"Yes." I said. I looked up at Riddick. he had a confused 'Please continue' look on his face. "THere is an

accient race of people from the planet Andretta. "I told him. HE looked even more confused. "It's a planet in

the um, the Surnive system." He nodded. "Anyway. Before human came and colonized everything there

was an accient race, like I told you, and they were called Drakes. They had wings and lizard eyes and claws

but when humans came and inter bred with the Drakes then we lost some of the things that we used to have.

The only things that we kept were our wings and our ability to see in the dark. "I told him as we walked.

"Eventually though the Drakes disappeared. There's only a few left. Myself and my Mother being the only

ones that I knew about until that night in the rain." I finished sadly. He put his arm around my shoulders.

"Well that explains alot." He said. I laughed.

"like what?" I asked.

"Like last night and how you could see in slam." He said. I nodded. " But now I know everything about

you." He pulled me into a hug. I smiled against his shirt and hugged him back.

"Now let's go shopping." I said. Excitedly.

Riddick's POV

We shopped for new clothes first and then we went and paid for the hotel room for a few more nights.

Next we went to a food court and ordered.

"Oh God this if good." Noir said taking another bite of her chicken pasta. I lifted another forkful of steak

and potatoes into my mouth and chewed.

"I can't remember the last time that I had good food." She said. I grinned and nodded. We finished our meal in

silence. Afterwards we walked the streets. We came upon a huge news bulletin screen. I pulled Noir to a

stop.

"Let's watch for a minute." I said. We starred up at the screen for what seemed like minutes before anything

important came up but finally it did.

"And in other news a local police transport was reported found today after it was reported crashed.

Investigators say there were no suvivors. It is rumored that convicted murderers Richard B. Riddick and

Noir A. Contra were on board. They are reported missing and dead." Noir looked at me with tears in her eyes

and I swear that I had some in my eyes too.

"We're free." She whispered. I nodded. We stood there for a few moments staring at each other then I

grabbed her and spun her around. She wound her arms around my neck and laughed.

"We're free." She whispered against my ear. I nodded.

"We're free."
