((Ayushi: Just so you know before you read. This may seem a little out of character for Riddick. I had to make him talk a lot. Which you hardly ever see him do. On top of that he's talking to a huge group of people and that never happens, so I had to improvise a bit. Also as you will know after you read he's trying to trick them or act as well. I'm sure that if he needed to he could do it. He doesn't seem to be the type to get stage fright. I hope it not horribly out of character. -nervous look around- back off all flamers…..))
Riddick lead them down a long hallway then to a door. Krya knew that on the door was a balcony over looking a large area where the huge group of people would be rather. She leaned in closer to Riddick.
"Can I let go of your damn arm now?" she asked in a hoarse whisper so Aereon and more importantly Station won't hear.
"No, I want them to know your mine," he said holding her arm a little tighter. Not enough to hurt, but tight enough so she couldn't get away. She felt more like a toy or a prize now then when she had been with the scientist.
She only gave a low growl in response.
She left her face and body go stiff and blank as they walked out onto the balcony. She looked over the edge the hundreds of lines of Necromongers. She had never been good on show, and often more then not got stage fright. She saw the eyes looked up to them and bow. She felt the suddenly urge to fall to the ground. She was glad for the support of Riddick's arm. She glanced over at him.
She could tell by the way his cheeks were place that he was planning something horrible. The last time she had that look close up was when they had been going off the 'dark planet' and he had paused and turned off the light. A deadly look that meant he was going to have fun and kill a little. She let her eyes trail back to the people.
"All hail Lord Marshal Riddick keeper of the faith," the group said in unison.
"My Necromongers I would like to introduce Krya. She is under my protection and not to be harmed unless word comes directly from my mouth and to your ears. If anyone does they will deal with me directly," he commanded like a general over the whole of his army.
"All hail Krya protected by Lord Marshal Riddick keeper of the faith," the mob said in unison. Somehow the had all know what to say. Krya was about to look for queue cards.
"Now to the real business. I have captured the Elemental Queen and her guardian. They came to beg to be spared, but Necromongers spare no one. I plan to take a small crew and myself to the planet. I will kill their queen in front of them. A symbol to all that hear of it that the leader of the Necromongers bows to no one and neither do his people," he called to them.
They all gave thrilled war cries. A few of the scientist on a higher platform farther away looked rather smug. They all accounted this suddenly change of mood to Krya coming back to life.
Riddick turned himself and Krya around. They went back through the doors the cheering still loud behind them. Aereon and Station behind them. Station looked ready to kill at the next sign of movement. Two guards came over and took their arms.
"Sir what would you like us to do with the prisoners," one of them asked quietly.
"Toss them in a cell. Give them only enough food and water to stay alive. No killing and no beating that's my privilege," he said with an evil smirk.
The soldiers almost glowed seeing their commander finally taking charge. They both nodded and took the prisoners away. Station could be heard screaming as the they dragged her away and out of sight. Aereon remained silent and seemed to be simple walking with them. She seemed indifferent to the fact she was captured.
Krya dropped Riddick's arm and started walking off on her own. She had a ghastly scowl on her face. Riddick took her arms pulling her closer.
"Now, where do you think your going?" he demanded in a low rolling tone.
"Away. You got a problem with that?" she asked with a glare.
"I just made you the top target in the war ageist me do you think I'm going to let you go strolling off on your own after what happened last time?" Riddick asked her his face so close she could feel his breath on her face. The hand that was holding her so tight that she was sure she could have bruises after he let go. She felt proud he was willing to be with physical with her and knew she could take it but it hurt none the less. The last part of his statement hit her hard, and she suddenly felt guilty for making him hurt so much. Her lippy refusal lost itself in her remorse.
"Fine, then where you heading?" she asked. He slowly let her go until she was standing only a few feet from him.
"Back to my room. You need some sleep," he told her. It was true. She had been up all the night before thinking, and her body was straining. She wasn't surprised he noticed. It took a moment for the true meaning of his words to get in by then they were starting down the hall.
"Wait one minute I'm not staying in your room," she said a little anxious.
"Yes you are," he told her still walking.
"No I'm not. I got my own room down the halls a ways. I'll be safe there. I don't need to be under your thumb at all times," she said starting to head towards her own room.
"Your staying with me," Riddick said grabbing her arm and veering her forward once more.
"Riddick," she hissed trying to get away.
He didn't say anything in response just keep walking.
"God this is a turn around few years ago you were flying off to get away from me now you won't let me out of your side finally feel guilty," Krya mused to herself but he heard. He slammed her into the wall.
"That was different. This is different. I can't have you running off on your own and getting yourself killed again. Or worse used as bait. Do you want that Krya? To be used," he asked in a low slow snarl.
"No," she said turning away from him.
"Then be a good girl and for once do what your fucking told and keep your yap shut," he said. When she didn't say anything in response he yelled again, "Got it?!"
"Got it," she said through clenched teeth.
"Let's go then," he said pulling her by the arm down the hall.
All the workers who had been staring moved out of the way as they passed. Most of them scared out of their minds seeing him being so rough with someone he was protecting. They could only imagine what he would do with someone he didn't care about. The thought made most gulp.
The scientist Jack had been watching it all, but hearing only bits and pieces. He had an appalled look on his face. He quickly hid as they passed him down the hall. He watched them walk off. His eyes tense and concerned over the well fair of his resurrected friend. He was especially ill at ease over the fact they were headed to the lug's bedroom, but he could do nothing to stop them. This was not his fight, and he had no power in it.
After a brisk walk Krya and Riddick reached his over side room. Nether had said a word to the other. Both felt a bit begrudged at the happenings in the past few minutes.
A few seconds after they got into the room a large dog like creature came bound out. It looked like a dog, but moved like a cat yet was relation to neither. It was a pure black when it came out, but became nasty red when it saw Krya. The beast snarled his scale covered body tensing ready to bounce. His long sharp teeth ready and willing to bite. The muscles and scaring showing beneath scales. Krya screamed, and jumped behind Riddick since she knew what it was it once. This was one of the monsters that gave her nightmares at night.
"What the fuck is hellhound from Crematoria doing here?" she demanded.
"Hellhound this is pet," Riddick said indifferently swatting down.
He held out a hand, and made a few cooing sounds. The dog backed up not sure. It sniffed wildly confused. Riddick took of his goggles and showed the dog his eyes. It went back to its neutral black and bounding towards him.
Krya turned away hands covering her eyes fearing the sound of blood splattering would be heard at any moment. All was silent, but a few licking sounds. She looked over to see the beast on top of Riddick licking his face wildly like a puppy. Her mouth dropped open.
"Your pet?" she asked.
"Yup," he said slowly pushing the beast off.
"How?" she asked watching at the beast gently got off him.
"Turns off its that sulfur smell that turns them insane. Take that away and with a little good treatment and some obedience training you got yourself a guardian dog," he told her.
He motion to the dog to get closer to her. He do so willing and sat a few feet in front of her.
"Go ahead give him a pet," Riddick said with a smirk.
"No way I've seen these dogs rip men to shreds," she said backing up
"He won't hurt you unless I say now give it to try," he said once again.
She slowly pulled a hand out. The hellhound sat perfectly but apprehensively still. She put her hand down on its head away from its mouth. It suddenly jumped. She gave a scream and tried to cover her face with her hands. It put his front paws on the wall behind her and licked her. She gasped then gave a little giggle pushing it away. It jumped down then went over to Riddick for petting. The large man put his hand on the beast's head and petting it. The perfect combination a human and an animal that had killed and would again without a thought.
"Listen I know your not thrilled about staying here, but you got to stay protected. I don't want to risk having a repeat of last time. You got no restraints just say stay close. Keep your eyes open. If you want to have your boyfriend what his name in here that's fine. I won't say anything about it. Just keep the noise down a little if I'm sleeping," Riddick said laying down.
"What? Me and Jack? In here. With you here. God, your one gross mother fucker," she said a small smirk on her face. She laid down getting some pillows and making a little bed for herself.
"Get some sleep, Krya," he said going to his bed.
She sighed and laid down on a small and looked at the ceiling until her eyes closed on what seemed to be their own will.
