Chapter 3

The skiff was a shitty little piece of junk, about to shake itself apart………at least it flew. That was all that really mattered to Riddick. He settled himself into the pilots chair, preparing himself for cryo-sleep. Looking at the display he saw he had two weeks till he reached Dandis 7. The mercs had been broadcasting their position almost every hour since the had taken HIS Jack. Thought they could draw him into a trap…big mistake.

He knew the mercs where just waiting for him to arrive. Stupid mother fuckers, don't know who their messing with . Oh well it wont take too much effort to slice them open, get off the planet, and find a nice quiet spot to take a trip down memory lane with Jack. The made a mistake taking her, they better not have harmed a hair on her head. After all when ghosting mercs, he could always take the time to slice real, real slow.

-With Jack-

The small cabin in the woods of Dandis 7 was freezing. It was the middle of winter and her captors hadn't seen fit to take the time to light the large hearth in the living room, the only source of heat for the small shelter. Toombs had brought her here the moment they landed on the planet and she'd been locked in ever since.

The only saving grace was Toombs and his men had left hr alone for the most part. Only making appearances to deliver food, and sling a few insults her way. They had been spreading the news of her capture threw the systems with increasing frequency. They were waiting for Riddick to come and rescue her……the shouldn't hold their breath. Riddick wouldn't walk into an obvious trap…..not for her. He probably doesn't even remember she exists.

Pacing back and forth in the main room of the cabin, her mind was consumed with the less than pleasant thoughts of what the mercs would do to her when Riddick didn't make an appearance. None of the possibilities that she could come up with gave much hope to her survival. Sighing , she chastised herself for being paranoid, it did her no good to contemplate those things now. No, she needed to be focusing on finding a way out of here. Unfortunately if by some miracle she could get out of the cabin she was still stuck on an unfamiliar planet with no money and no means of getting back home.

The sun was setting and the freezing temperature in the cabin began to drop even more. Shivering, her teeth chattering Jack sat down on the old worn couch drawing her knee's up to her chest she hunched into herself trying to keep warm. The time seemed to pass in slow motion, by the time midnight rolled around Jack was shaking violently, hard enough that it was hard to stay sitting upright. If she had looked into a mirror she would have noticed the faint tinge of blue her lips had acquired.

Darkness was clouding her vision, and remaining conscious was become increasingly more difficult. Just as she was about to succumb to the waiting numbness the large window behind the couch shattered inward spraying glass in all directions. Rolling off the couch with a scream, Jack hit the floor with bone jarring force, throwing her arms over hear head she tried to protect her face.

The fall had not helped with her battle to stay conscious, and as she seconds passed she could feel her mind starting to cloud, and black spots dance in front of her eyes. Making a valiant attempt to keep her eyes open Jack tried to get up, placing her palms flat of the flood she ignored the glass cutting into her palms as she tried to push herself to her feet. Tried and failed she simply didn't have any energy left. Just before her eyes closed, Jack felt two strong arms lift her from the floor. Looking up into a pair of all to familiar silver eyes Jack fell into darkness.
