A/N: Thanks to for being my first reviewer.
Riddick's POV
There's something nagging at the back of my mind, telling me I know this kid
She looks like any other teenager out there, but there's something special about her
Actually, she kind of reminds me of Kyra, when we first met
Skinny, bald, young, but she has this wild-eyed look, like a caged animal, that Kyra never had
She looks like she's seen a lot of bad things for someone her age
Normally, you would expect this to cripple a person, but that look, that glint in the eye, I can tell
She's strong
A survivor
I can see her now, from my chamber
She has her goggles pushed up now and her head is down, but she's awake
Her eyes are strange
I can't tell if they have shine in them, but they look like it
I mean, wearing dark goggles in bright light, that shiny silver gleam to them, eyes glow in the dark, sure as hell sounds like shine to me
She's studying the other passengers now and her gaze passes briefly over me
The look sends a cold chill up my spine and grabs my heart in a tight vise
Not since I was a little kid, has anyone ever made me feel that way
Except once...........
When Caroline came to help me back to the ship
We were almost there
Then, one of the creatures came out of nowhere, tearing her away from me
I've never known why, but at that moment, the darkness seemed to crush me
I'm still watching the kid, but she suddenly presses her hands to her head, like she's in pain and then her head flies up
She looks at me with terrified eyes and I can see her lips moving
She's trying to tell me something, but the thick glass prevents me from hearing her
Then, there's a grating noise or rock on metal, that sets my teeth on the edge
The ship starts bucking and rocking under my feet
I force the door of my chamber open and run for the control panels
That damn automatic voice is telling me that we had struck a large, dense object or rather it hit us and we are now flying without two of our rear thrusters.
We're rapidly decreasing in altitude and I'm trying to find someplace to land this hunk of junk then, a remote planet comes up on my view screen
It's close and we're coming up fast, but I think we can make it
The ship shudders violently as we hit the atmosphere and I hear a loud cracking noise
I can tell that the main passenger part of the ship is breaking off from too much stress
The cabin where the controls are starts getting really hot and all of the warning sirens are blaring loudly, making it hard to think
The ground rushes up at me and I barely manage to turn the ship out of it's nosedive, before we impact
A massive cloud of dust rises up as we plow along the surface of the planet
Finally, we stop and everything goes quiet as the power dies
My muscles are aching and it feels like my hands are stuck to the engine control, but I finally manage to pry them off
The damages are great
Only ten passengers out of two hundred and fifty are alive and my second in command died from the impact
We're stuck on a remote planet, that I doubt anyone has ever been to before and there's no chance of getting the ship off the ground again
Wow major deja vu .........
