"What do you mean I'm staying?" I jumped up from the bed and stood in front of him.
"I mean your staying here while I leave." He stopped packing and gave me a stare threw his goggles I will never forget. I slowly turned around and crawled to the corner of my bed and went into a fetal position looking at the wall next to me, as the tears started falling in silence, I was a little girl in the hell of my own mind trying to deny the fact that daddy was leaving again and never coming back. My face was blank and my eyes dark with that nothingness my mother didn't want to see in me like she saw in him when she first looked into his eyes. I was receding into my own mind to get away from reality. He finished packing the bag and pulled me out of the corner. "I'll help you find a job and a place, then I go." He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a short rope with a tooth attached to it. "It's from my first Urzo. I want you to have it to remember me by." He handed it to me. I took it with no words and no emotion, the streams on my face drying up.
He helped me find a place to live in a cheap building and a job at a store. Rent was 34 UDs a month, I was paid 4 UDs an hour at the store, making 400 UD's a month. (Doin pretty good for 16 huh.) The days went by like weeks and the weeks went by like months. Every morning I got up hoping he'd be there waiting for me. I had to walk by the place we landed that day, that...horrible day. And every time I walk by I hope to see him standing there with arms open wide. I'm 17 now, still waiting for him to return. A year ago today he left me on this god forsaken planet to live without him. I miss him more then anything. I got a job at a better place, with a better pay. No letters no nothing from him. Every night I go to this bar and wait just wait thinking maybe he might walk in and see me. I stay pretty much to myself. No friends, no parents just a boss and a lonely apartment. The bounty on him was raised a week ago so now it's 274,930,000 UDs. I've been thinking for the past week maybe I should go and find him, but I don't' wanna leave here incase he comes back. The past year has been hard without him. He took a little of me with him when he left. Everyday a little of me has died without him. The shiv I killed those two mercs with has never left that spot I dropped it. You are the first to hear of my story, and probably the last. I'm going into hiding; I've saved enough UDs to last for awhile. I still feel a little girl stuck in my mind...lost...without hope. I don't know if I can last any longer without him.
AN: sorry about such a short chp. If you want Riddick to return tell me if you want me to stop the story here tell me. Hope you like. Plz R&R.
