Sorry it took a while to post new stuff. If you want it to go faster then review. I need reviews badly right now, the publishing company declined a story I sent them. They were rude about it too.
Staying in Riddick's dark cell like a captive bat was torcher. It had been three days since the card game and Riddick was out all day, always bringing me back food. At the end of the day, Riddick would get the side of the cot next to the wall and I would take the other side. He was almost never there when I woke and the times he was, was during my twitches. They came less frequently now, only when I sleep. I would wake up during them and Riddick would feel the tremors and keep close to me until they pass, never saying a word or showing if he knew I was awake or not. I knew he had been messing with Josh and I was feeling guilty. I stand up off the cot and wander over to the bars, slipping my arms between the metal poles and waiting. "You're back early." Riddick walks past me and into the cell, sitting on the cot and setting down a bowl of noodles. I sit down and start to eat. "I'm not staying in this cell anymore."
"Fine."
I stop eating and look at him, "What do you mean 'fine'?"
"Fine. Good for you." He takes out his shiv and wipes blood off the blade. He holds the weapon steady. "Come here."
"What's wrong with you?" I ask, wondering who had donated the blood to Riddick's knife. He moves over to me and wraps an arm around my waist. He smells like fresh sex and it makes me sick. His lips brush the nape of my neck gently, making me shiver. The hand holding the shiv snakes around my other side, pulling me to face him. He takes his free hand and pulls off his goggles setting them on the floor somewhere, his sexy eyes near leaving mine. 'Sexy? Easy girl.' "Riddick?" His lips press against mine and he forces his tongue into my mouth, kissing brusingly hard. 'Arc, don't do this. He's already fucked and killed someone, maybe not even in that order.' His fingers run up and down my spine making me shiver and pull away.
"He licks his lips and I get lost in the mercury pools of his eyes. "That was almost too good to stop." His hands move up my back, "Brace yourself."
I only have enough time to give a confused look before lightening attacks the back of my neck, coursing through my veins like water through a pipe. The chain around my neck feels as hot as an iron and if I could see the tag it would have been red hot. After what felt like an eternity, but was really only a few seconds, there was a click over the buzzing and a weight fell from around my neck, taking the heat with it. I fell onto something hard and my muscles were still spasming. My heart didn't slow down like it normally does and I couldn't breath. Suddenly I could hear my heart in my ears then felt air being forced into my lungs. My legs were still twitching but they were being held down. Another breath flew into my lungs and I cough, the shaking subsiding. I could hear again despite the killer headache and I was warming up slowly. I realized my eyes were closed and that cool tears were dripping down my cheeks. Thick arms move me and I whimper at the strong but gentle movement against my still sensitive skin as I'm lifted for a moment before being set down on something soft. I open my eyes, glad that its too dark to see with my unadjusted eyes, and look helplessly around the darkness. "Rid-Riddick?" I whisper weakly. There is a jingling sound somewhere in the room and it comes closer until its right in front of me and stops. A hand takes my wrist and pulls it away from me, something heavy dropping into my open hand. I pull away, feeling what lay innocently in my fist. The chain had finally released its grip from around my neck at nearly the cost of my life.
"Want me to get rid of it?" he asks, kneeling down to be level with me.
Most of my mind was on the chain and tag, still warm from the electricity. It had caused so much trouble in my life but now it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and it was that that made me shake my head no. I run my fingers up and down the chain, something was missing. "Where's the lock?"
"Don't worry about it."
I hear his footsteps start to walk away and I try to stand up to go and stop him, discovering that I can't once I fall over. I whimper uncontrollably and try to move my limp legs. I look up at the unmoving shadow in the cell doorway, its back to me. I make another futile attempt to stand. "Riddick..." I fallback to my knees and put my hands out, catching myself as I fall onto the stone floor. My neck and muscles ached with every move so I just lay there, a river flowing from my eyes. My eyes close in an attempt to stop the tears and my head hangs towards the ground. "Don't leave me." I don't know why I want him around me after that but he is better then some other guy who would come in here if Riddick leaves me like this. I can't hold back the tears and I decide that cry from pain is better then crying from sorrow.
I don't hear anything but my own sobbing until a voice speaks, "Get back to the cot kid, don't know why you moved in the first place."
I don't look up, "I can't." but not hearing anything else I gather myself up and stand painfully taking a step before almost falling if it wasn't for the hands holding me up.
"Come on." He pulls me forward into the hall and past the other cells. After a while he stops and lets me sit on the floor. My vision is very blurry but I can make out two forms.
"What did you do to her?"
"Take her with you."
"Where's the lock to her chain?"
"Don't ask so many questions. I need to barrow it." I hear heavy steps fade away.
"Riddick?" I whisper but someone takes my hand and helps me up.
"Its alright. I'm gonna get you some help."
I manage a smile. "Hey Josh. How's it going?"
We start moving. "Not very good by the looks of it."
"Just a flesh wound."
"A flesh wound? You can't even walk."
"Yes I can. I am right now, aren't I?"
"No, I'm carrying you."
I realize that my legs aren't moving, "Oh." My eyes get heavy and in the background I hear a voice telling me to stay awake but it inevitable now and I fall asleep.
