(Disclaimer: I own none of the Pitch Black or the COR characters. I wouldn't mind owning Riddick though.)

Lying in that cold water gave me goose bumps, but I didn't wanna be sick. I'd spent almost every birthday sick. I slid in a little more, not wanting to get my chest wet.

"Uh-oh." I said my face turning three shades of green.

"Your not gonna puke again are you." Riddick quickly stood up standing behind the chair.

"I..." I leaned over the side of the tub and puke went everywhere, but missing Riddick. He turned to the cupboard behind him and grabbed a towel and started cleaning it up. "I'm sorry. I just can't help it." I tried to stand up but didn't have the strength so I just sat there, watching Riddick's head bob up and down over the side of the tub, it kinda made me sick. I closed my eyes and concentrated on things that didn't involve food or things moving fast, you know things you think about when you're sick. I felt wind of my face, so I opened my eyes hoping to be feeling the wind at a beach. I wasn't at a beach. I thought I was looking into a mirror, I saw myself.

"My name is Aereon. I come to give you a chance to be someone else." This imposter faded away. I opened my eye's thinking I fell asleep. I was sitting in Mom's room holding a book, I didn't feel sick anymore. I stood up and walked into the room I had been in the ice water. Riddick was on the floor cleaning it up and I was in the tub still. I turned my head to the mirror to my left, what I saw wasn't me. My moms face was in that mirror.

"Uh...Riddick? What do you see?" I looked at him on the floor. "I mean who do you see?" He stood up and looked at me with a smile.

"I see Mrs. Richard B. Riddick."

"Is that supposed to be a complement?" His lips met mine. I had to use every ounce of control I had to walk to the mp room without puking. When I walked through the door I rubbed my lips frantically. "Gross, nasty, yuck!" I said still wiping away his kiss. My whole body shuddered. "Ok. Have I gone daffy? I mean I'm in my moms body, how wrong is this picture." I wanted to puke thinking of Riddick's lips on mine.shudders

"Jack you ok." Riddick's thundering voice came from behind me.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little tired." I rubbed my temples and sat down in the nearest chair.

"After last night I'm not surprised, you wore me out you..."

"Can you tell me later?" I cut him off not wanting to know about my parent's sex life. What kid does? "I'm gonna go check on her." I pointed towards the door and walked out. I walked into the room and sat on my knees poking my body. "Hey. You in there."

"What?" Mom's eye's popped open looking at me.

"Mom it's me, Karee." I said frantically.

"Why are you in my body?"

"I dunno, he kissed me and tried to do it again in the mp room."

"He thinks you're me. If he tries anything tell him you have a headache. It always works."

"If he comes in here looking for me tell him I went for a walk." I got up turned around and headed for the city.

I walked threw the dimly lit city, looking at each building carefully so I knew where I was going. I found a little diner that looked good. I walked in the door at sat down in a booth a woman walked up to the table and asked me what I wanted.

"Coffee please." My fingers hit the table one at a time as they tapped nervously. The woman returned with my coffee. "Thanks." The woman walked away. what am I going to do? How do I get my body back? I thought to myself as Riddick sat down on the other side of the booth.

"When did you start drinking coffee?"

"I only drink it every once in a while." I took a sip of the coffee. After setting down the cup Riddick's large hand crawled it way to mine. "I took a walk because I wanted some alone time." I gave him an 'it's that time' stare and he sat back in the booth.

"Oh. I see. I'll see you back at the ship then." He stood up and walked out the door. I gave a sigh of relief.

"I'm in deep this time." I whispered to myself. I paid for the coffee and left the diner to find a voodoo shop, to see if this can be reversed but no such luck, so I went back to the ship. I walked in my parent's room, Riddick laid on the bed with his shirt off, and his pants un-buttoned.

"Sit down and relax." He started stripping. I put my hands over my eyes.

"I have a headache." I turned around almost having a heart attack. could this have happened at a worse time? I thought taking a step forward. Riddick's hand landed on my shoulder and slid down my back.

"I put Karee to sleep. So we can do whatever we want." I pushed his hand away.

"I really don't feel like it tonight." I walked to my room. I sat down on the chair next my bed and fell asleep.

"Karee. Karee. Wake up." Mom said rubbing my leg.

"Yeah what?" I opened my eyes.

"I think we should tell him."

"And make him think we're both crazy nuh-uh no way." Riddick walked in the room with a tray.

"Breakfast for my favorite ladies." He set a bowl of watery oatmeal in front of mom. "Food for your stomach, but not enough chunks to make you blow chunks." He set a tray of artificial scrambled eggs in my lap. "Your favorite."

"We should tell him, but after we eat." I looked at mom and started to eat the eggs. After eating breakfast I sat Riddick down in front of mom and I, mom couldn't get out of bed she was so weak.

"Riddick. I'm going to tell you something that, you might think strange, but here goes. Riddick, I'm Karee." He looked at me and laughed his deep throat laugh.

"You're kidding. You're kidding right?" He stopped when he noticed we weren't laughing.

AN: To see what Riddick thinks about this tune in for chp. 16. Hope you like.:)
