Hey I took a long look at this story and it was following the movie so I
just decided to go a whole new direction.so yay! BTW Merry Christmas
Nicole!
Riddick lighted a flare and tossed it to Carolyn.
"This isn't going to work." Carolyn looked ill. "We have to go back."
Racheal was beyond the point of arguing. As much as she wanted to she couldn't fully trust any of them.not even Fry. She knew that if they did get off the planet Fry would turn her and Riddick in to Company at the blink of an eye.
"We took a vote." Riddick reminded her.
"That was before Paris died. How are we going to carry these?" She looked at the cells.
"I'll take them." he said putting his goggles back on, but before he began to lift the cells a loud noise deafened the night silence. The sounds of a space cruiser zooming over head.
"HOLD YOUR POSITIONS!" came a male voice from the overhead, as a spot light shown down on them,
Imam was praising Allah. Racheal and Carolyn were both laughing with relief. Jack was jumping up and down.
Riddick's face darkened. He didn't like being this visible, but he had no choice. He needed off this planet and that rescue ship was the only life line.
"Lighten up, Riddick!" Racheal yelled over the sound of the landing ship, her hair blowing around her. "We're getting out of here."
"To go where.back to Slam?" His frown was set.
"We won't nark on you." Jack said stepping forward, smiling. "Will we guys?"
Imam looked down at his feet as Carolyn looked off into the darkness.
"You've got to be kidding me." Racheal said, disbelieving their reactions. "After all this? you would just." her voice faltered.
"I don't know." Carolyn said finally, "I don't know how much more blood I can have on my hands."
"It won't be like that." Racheal began, "If we just had a chance we could." but she was cut off by the rescue ships pilot.
"We got your distress signal and came right away. Our Captain wants to see you all on deck immediately." He looked them over. "Waiting for a written invitation?" he asked impatiently.
Riddick was the first to move forward.
"Oh," the pilot interrupted. "No weapons."
Riddick grudgingly thru his shiv to the side, and Carolyn threw down John's blaster.
They loaded onto the cramped rescue cruiser. The only sound was that of the ship taking off. The passengers were silent. All of them mentally exhausted, as their bodies switched from auto safety mode to a feeling of something like normality.
All except Riddick, who was prepared to be found out at any moment. For him there was no safe place.

"What is that smell?" The Captain looked around, and standing there behind her were 7 people. All of them sweaty and dirty. "Ah..so there were survivors." she smiled. "I am Rose Capri, the Captain of this ship."
"I received your distress signal at 0800 hours yesterday." Captain Capri looked as though she deserved a metal of honor. "Of course I came at once." she said when she noticed they weren't talking. "So, do you mind telling me what happened to your ship, the uhh, Hunter Gratzner.?"
"We aren't really for sure." Fry said stepping forward. "My guess is a rouge comet."
"And you are?" Capri asked.
"Carolyn Fry, I was the Hunter Gratzner's docking pilot,"
Captain Capri smirked at the comment. "Yes well, you did a bang up job, as there are only the seven of you left out of.what was it, 43?"
"There were more survivors, but they died as soon as it got dark." Fry 's voice wavered.
"Explain," Capri urged.
"There were creatures on the planet." Racheal spoke up for Fry. "Hungry creatures."
"And you are?" Capri quizzed.
"Uh, Raye." Racheal came up with the first thing that crossed her mind.
"Uhraye?" the Captain looked skeptical.
"Raye," Racheal said more forcefully, "Raye Garrant."
"Well, I have rooms for all of you." Captain Capri said changing the subject. "Complete with facilities, by all means, use them." She followed the crew into the hallway. "We should arrive at Kesni Starbase within a few days, until then, pleas make yourselves at home."
--
They were led into a small section of the ship by the first mate.
"There are three rooms here, divide them up as you see fit." he sighed and turned around. "Food should be ready at 0600 hours in the common room. I expect all of you to be there." then he left.
"Well." Imam began smiling. "I will take the boys in this room." he ushered the two remaining children into the first room and the door slid shut behind them.
"I guess that leaves us in here." Fry said to Racheal and Jack. Racheal nodded and began to follow Fry and Jack into the second room, but then she felt two strong arms grab her and shove her into the third.
She turned quickly around to see the door sliding shut behind Riddick.
--
"Did she just go in there with him?" Jack asked in a quiet tone.
"Looks that way." Carolyn said frowning.
"You aren't going to turn them in, are you?" Jack asked.
"I'll give them a head start." Fry said after a few moments, "But that's all I can promise."
--
Riddick dimmed the lights and removed his goggles. He scanned the room, almost laughing at the expression on Racheal's face.
"Raye Garrant, huh?" he asked jokingly.
"Well, I had to say something." She didn't find it all that humorous.
Riddick smirked and motioned to the computer terminal that was attached to the wall.
"See if you can find out any information on our whereabouts," he ordered to her. "And find out all you can on this Kensi Station, we're heading to."
"Right." she said and stepped up to the terminal. It seemed to be a normal interface, so she was able to find what she needed.
Behind her she heard the shower click on. Racheal turned around and sure enough, Riddick was in the shower. It began to sink in that she was alone with him, for the first time in a long time.
She slowly crept forward and peeked around the corner.
Riddick stood, naked, in the down pour of water. His head was back and his eyes were closed. She stared, open mouthed, at his form drizzled with soap and water.
Riddick lowered his head and opened his eyes, staring back at her as the water ran unnoticed into his eyes.
"What? You wanna join me?" he asked and his deep voice filled the small room.
"I, uhmm." she stammered and back pedaled, "I'm sorry."
Riddick reached out and grabbed her by the arm, far to fast for her to try and get out of his reach.
He pulled her into him, into the shower, clothes and all.
The warm water felt wonderful and his body close to hers felt even better. She had to shut her eyes to the water even though she didn't want to. She wanted to keep looking into those endless eyes as his mouth closed over hers.
(my attempt at a love scene there.) lol I hope you like it.
