The ship shook and woke me up. "We're entering the atmosphere of…Elupus 5?" I heard a voice yell from the front of the ship. A few minutes later we landed and I stepped off the ship onto the ground of my newest home. Home? Yea right.

I walked around for a while until I found a stand that food was being sold. I paid for a piece of fruit and walked past eh booths of recruiting murks. "Why not" I said as I headed to the booth. "What the heck do murks pay?" I asked the man at the booth.

"You'd get your fair cut of every bounty." The man answered. I nodded and turned away. "Right now we are searching for a man by the name of Riddick. He always has a bounty going."

I turned and smiled at the man. "I'll join that search. He nodded and wrote my name down. Then he took me to an inn where his recruits were staying. That night we left. I found that I had been jipped when the men played a game that night. I walked up to get my dinner and they took turns tearing at piece of my clothes. I got my dinner and headed back to my so-called room which was really a closet. I sat down angrily and kicked the shelves down.

During the next few weeks they sold me out to their friends for some fun. I never really got hurt but I got embarrassed to the point that I wanted to kill every living thing on that ship. It wasn't until on man visited my room trying to cut me for his own enjoyment that I began to kill. I killed that man and hid in the pipes until they all fell asleep and then one-by-one they all died. It was the captain I tortured for all their sins. I woke him up and smiled. He smiled back and reached for me. I shot his hand. He screamed and ran. I threw a shiv at his back, trying to hit the sweet spot. I missed. But he fell as the blade hit his back. I came to him and kissed his lips and cut his head off.

After that I went on a rampage searching for all the men who had hurt me. Then I was caught. They sent me to Crematoria. I survived. Then today the strangest thing happened. Riddick showed up.

I saw him being lowered down and I helped him by chaining a prick that had been trying to get his back. Then I walked away. He caught up with me in the gate. I was ready. I put my blade to his side and asked, "Where do I get eyes like that?"

"He reached up and took off his goggles and looked back at me. "You gotta kill a few people first." He said.

"Done that" I spat sticking the blade a little farther into his side. "Done lots of that". In one quick movement he had my arms and I was back against the gate. "Then you gotta get sent to a slammer" he continued.

"One where they say you'll never see light again?" I said angrily. "But there was no doc to dig up not even for…was there anything you ever said that was true" I spat. In another quick movement he lifted my feet from the ground and grasped the gate bar underneath me and say me on his arm. "What are you gonna do now?" I asked turning my head away from him. "Hit the sweat spot?" he yanked my arms up and said "Remember who your taking to, Jack."

"Jack's dead", I told him. "She was weak. She couldn't cut it" I hit him with the blade I hide between my teeth and kicked the light next to him.

I jumped to the bridge and waited for him to look for me. He did and I leaned forward, "Name's Kyra now, and I'm a whole new animal." Then I jumped from the bridge and landed safely on the pole below. Then I sat down trying to calm my pounding heart. I wanted to cry but I didn't know why.

I got up and waked to my claimed room and slammed the gate behind me. I sat in the corner as a new memory came.

"Please let me out", the girl pleaded. She threw her weight against the door. She then heard footsteps and backed up hoping that someone good had come to let her out. She was wrong as usual.

The man opened the door and yanked her out throwing her hard against the wall. "I told you to be quiet" he yelled in drunken rage. He threw a punch hard against her face and she ducked the blow and squirmed away from him.

The man took out a knife and began blindly slashing in her direction. She quickly grabbed his wrist and bit down with all her might as the man let out a mighty howl. She grabbed the knife as his grip loosened and slammed it deep into his chest as he fell over screaming beside her. She held her ears to block out the screaming but he would not stop so she to the knife and, putting all her weight on it, she drew it across his neck.

The man's body shuddered and then fell still as the blood oozed from the slit in his throat. The girl fell to her knees in fear and exhaustion and began to cry. Putting her hands over her face she wept for the life she had taken and the circumstances that had come about to make such a man deserve such a death.

Once Again my vision cleared and I looked around at my filthy surroundings. I was still in Crematoria. But something had changed. Standing in the doorway, with a worried expression on his face was Riddick. I looked up at him and got ready to explain. But before I could he turned and left.
