Author's Note: Back again….lol thanks you guys! Watch this chapter is dark…
The ship was deadly quiet when I came up from the cargo hold. Almost to quiet. Passing up my workout for the day I headed to the bedroom. Opening the door I saw Nathan was up and sitting on the bed with an odd kind of smile.
"Come here Laura." Nathan cooed. I thought my old Nathan was back, I went to him. He pulled me in his arms burying his face in my hair. I missed him and was lost in the moment.
"You smell like Him." I froze, fuck he knew! I tired to struggle out of his tight grasp but it was no use. His hand went straight to my pocket pulling out his keys, his grip tightened.
"Lex told me you might be up to something, that you had a thing for the killer. I didn't believe him." His teeth bit into my neck a little and I cried out slamming my elbow into his head. He let go and I scrambled away.
"Nathan its not what you think! You can't leave him down there for five weeks with no food or water, he'd die!" I reasoned standing up and backing up to the door watching his every move.
"I didn't notice the changes in you till someone pointed it out." He laughed and that's when I knew my Nathan was dead. The clanging out chains brought me out of my thoughts, could Riddick hear us? Did he know? I didn't wait around for answers and I took off down the hall running for all I was worth. Lex came out of nowhere catching my waist and slamming me down on the cold metal floor.
"Where you going Laura? Told ya we're going to break you." He took my hands and placed them above my head with one hand while the other roamed my body.
"Go to hell asshole!" I screamed trying to fight him. He laughed before picking me up and walking the short distance to the bedroom. It was pitch black in there, couldn't see a thing. Freaking out was an understatement. I went crazy trying to get out of his hold, I couldn't be in the dark, not again, I was dead if they put me in the dark.
"No!" I yelled when he put me on the bed getting on top of me.
"Yea that's right you don't like the dark, hmmmm to bad." Lex ripped off my shirt when I saw Nathan.
"Nathan help me please!" I cried as he started chaining me to the bed with Lex holding me down. I started yelling obscenities at him until Lex backhanded me across the face, then I spat blood at him.
"You guys are fucking animals! You have to tie a damn woman up so you can have you're way with her! What am I to much to handle?" I smiled I knew I was getting to them.
"Shut up bitch." Lex reprimanded me kneeing me in the stomach. That hurt. Nathan was done and I was spread eagle on the bed while both men looked down on me with evil in their eyes. I heard the chains again and this time it sounded like he was going to come through the wall there were sounds effects and all. Did he know what was going on?
"Lex go check on Riddick!" Nathan said sternly.
"We were just getting to the good part." He tried to reason.
"Now!" Nathan yelled this time and Lex finally followed orders. Then I started shaking, my mind taking me back to that awful place in the ship when I was only 17. Now I was 22 and it was happening all again. I swore it would never again and I would make him kill me before he tried to fuck me. He watched me for a few more minutes before turning and locking the door. At least Lex couldn't come back. I couldn't hear the chains rattling anymore and stupid me was worried for Riddick.
"Laura, Laura, Laura don't you like being chained? You look just like a killer you know. And I have to tell you, with you shaking like that its really making me hard." He crept on the bed ripping my pants off as he talked. I was left in my panties and bra but they were soon gone as well. I sure as hell wasn't going to beg him.
"What is it about Him that turns you on? Is it the chains, his voice, the animal in him? Come on speak up girl." Running his hands up and down my legs before attacking my neck again.
"He's not you!" I spat trying to push him over the edge. I was always good at that.
"You can't control people, the only way you know how is to chain them up and have your way with them. That bothers you because He can do it with just his voice. Can't he? You know if he ever gets out he's coming for you're ass and he'll rip you limb from limb, very slowly." That did it, I don't think I've ever saw such hatred in his eyes. Yanking my hair back he bit into my neck as he slammed into me hard. Tears flooded my eyes but I forbade them to fall. It felt like a thousand knives were stabbing me at once and there wasn't shit I could do to stop them.
"Beg for it Laura. Beg me to stop." He thrust deeper felt like I would be in two different pieces if he kept it up. He backhanded me then wrapped his hands around my throat.
"DO IT!" He squeezed.
"Go fuck yourself." I croaked feeling better that he was more enraged. I wished he would choke the life out of me and get it over with.
"You don't have the balls Nathan, never did never will." I finished and was rewarded with a punch to my stomach. He continued his assault and I let my mind run far from me. I escaped through my mind like I did many times before, except this time I was going to get my own back. Nathan's grunts filled the room, could tell he was close. I felt him burst inside me and couldn't think of ever feeling more dirty. Definitely going to be sore for the next couple of days. He rolled off of me climbing up beside my head. I leaned up and saw blood all over the place. Fuck it hurt! His fingers trailed down my face, tongue following the same path.
"Would you like it better if I fucked you in front of Riddick? Maybe I'd let him have a turn if you were good." He chuckled twisting my nipples wanting me to cry out. I wonder why Lex never came back?
"Go to hell dickhead, take Lex with you." He was not going to break me, no man would.
"You going to rape me again? Cause I'm kind of tired." I faked a yawn, got him again.
"That's fucking it! You're going to be a fucking cripple by the time I'm done with you bitch!" He threw on his boxers before opening the door and yelling for Lex and friends.
"Lex, guys get down here!" I tired the chains but they were to tight and when I moved they cut into my wrists and ankles. The sound of running and heavy breathing caught my attention so I stayed still and listened.
"Nathan Rid….." I couldn't hear what he said but I knew it wasn't good. Nathan quickly shut and locked the door, fear was filling the air, it was silent throughout the ship, I was smiling…..Riddick was out. I watched as Nathan scrambled for his gun but he was shaking to bad to load the bullets.
"How's it feel to be hunted? Not much fun is it? Told you to leave this one alone, to not go after him. He won't stop till your dead. Time's up Nathan." I whispered but didn't flinch when he smacked me in the face with the gun. The door busting open was the last thing I remember before fading into my own darkness.
I awoke with a start but regretted it soon after. Everything ached and hurt, felt like it was on fire or broken. The lights were dim, not off like I was expecting. There was only me in the room but it wasn't the same where, well you know where. I also noticed I was clothed, I had one of my tanks on and Nathan's boxers. Odd when did I put them on? Maybe I'm going insane. Trying to get off the bed was no easy task and I took to rolling off, much easier.
"Fuck! Stupid idea." I groaned trying to stand up but my body just wouldn't allow it.
"Fine I'll fucking crawl to the door." Stubbornness winning out. I was just about to turn the knob when it turned for me and creaked open. That's when I remembered. Great time I know.
"Riddick….." my voice trailed off, didn't sound like me. I sounded weak, young, afraid.
"Where do you think you're going?" He leaned against the door frame when I slammed it shut. My mind went off then. I had no weapon, could barely move, killer was lose and right outside the door……
"Forgot to lock this one." He smiled coming towards me. I wasn't giving up that easily, willing myself to stand I got up unlocked the door and ran through it. I ran until I reached the kitchen and the knives, grabbing one I sunk to the floor in pain staying quiet. Huddling behind the counter was my best bet at least I had a weapon. He wasn't silent when he walked in, probably knew exactly where I was but strolled in with a smirk on his face.
"I love a woman's will to survive to over come the odds but you seem to laugh at them. Now why is that?" He was looking for me and I tried my best to be quiet but I kept coughing up blood and started shaking again. Not good. I never dropped the knife though, couldn't, wouldn't allow myself to do it. I saw him at the last second, when he came around the bend, I struck slicing a nice gash in his thigh. He roared and I scrambled to get up but he caught my ankle. Using my other foot, I kicked him in the temple and he released me. Running to the cargo hold looked like my only other option. The door was opened and I ran in shutting it and backing away from it.
"Lights to full!" I yelled knowing he couldn't come in here without his goggles which he didn't have, Nathan did.
"Laura…" A faint whisper got my attention but I wished I never turned around. Nathan was strung the same fashion Riddick was except he had a lot more damage. He was a bloody mess and I realized I was totally fucked. Never hearing the door open, my finger itched the knife wanted to play. Still coughing up blood, I knew I wouldn't have much longer before I dropped so I wanted to make it count. Wiping it away, I walked to him not letting him see me in pain.
"Well well well, how the tables have turned." My eyes lit up, this was my turn.
"Laura, please help me." He couched trying to reach for me.
"What was that Nathan? Couldn't quite hear you."
"Help me." He said a little louder.
"Beg for it." I threw his words back in his face.
"Payback's are a bitch aren't they?" I sliced his eyelids off letting him know I wasn't playing.
"You're not going to make it." He tried to smile but failed miserably.
"Probably not, but I'm not afraid to die, sometimes I wished it would come to me but it never did. At least I get to watch you die, that's the best part." I jabbed it into his stomach hearing him cry out.
"That's right scream for me." I pushed it in more, and he yelled louder. I took it out as roughly as I shove it in watching the blood hit the floor.
"Why did you save my ass that night way back when?" I was furious but it felt good. I had the knife up to his throat waiting to slit it.
"I wanted you, knew you been through some shit and that you would be easy to take." He swore trying to stay awake.
"Backfired on ya didn't it?" No answer.
"Didn't it?" I used a little more force.
"Yea." Was all he could get out. I had enough and slit it with out once ounce of regret. His eyes went wide and I saw his hands trying to go to his throat but they were chained. I was about to turn around when I remembered.
"You won't be needing this anymore. See you in hell" Slamming the knife into his dick sealed the deal and I sank to the floor. My stomach was convulsing, blood flowing from my mouth, if I laid back I would choke to death so I got on my hands and knees till it stopped.
"Light's 10." Riddick's voice was low as he came toward me. I crawled to get the knife but never made it, he drug me back by my feet.
"Just don't quit do you? I can understand that." He lifted up my chin looking into my eyes.
"How long were you standing there?" I got out, noticing he had his goggles and the lights now worked off of his voice.
"Whole time, interesting show you put on." I looked down to his thigh there was a nice cut, but he didn't seem to worried about it. He bent down scooping me up in his massive arms, everything hurt and with my little escapade I didn't think I would make it. His strides were long and even, carrying me as if I were nothing. I was just trying to stay awake at that point, least Nathan was dead. Before I knew it I was being placed on the bed, the room where I flew from just a bit ago. My eyes closed again and my pathetic excuse of a life flashed before my eyes.
Riddick's POV:
Her visits were one of interest but this time I was left painfully hard. Couldn't even take care of it myself, that was a real bitch. Woman didn't know who, or what, she was playing with but she'd find out soon enough. There wasn't a whole lot left to do except listen, think, plan. Listening won out. Besides the hum of the ship I could just make out Peterson's voice and the woman's. There was something different, could almost smell it. They got louder and I could hear fear in her voice, rattling on the chains was all I could do. My right wrist could move a lot easier than my left, putting all my on it I began to pull. A thud made me stop then I heard her scream. I pulled harder, they knew. Some cocky shit came down, Lex I think was the name.
"What the fuck's going on?" With my eyes shut I was able to find him in the room by just his voice. Mistake.
"You're keeping me away from a pretty piece of ass that Nathan's probably fucking. I get seconds, want thirds? Don't know if she'll still be alive but I'm sure you won't mind." He laughed coming closer. Second mistake. My nostrils flared and I pulled one more time feeling the lock give. He didn't have time to utter a word before I wrapped the chain around his neck pulling him in so I could get the keys.
"Run." I growled, he looked like he was going to piss himself. It took him a couple seconds before he did. My right hand snaked down to my boot where I kept my extra shiv. I threw it hitting him right in the back of the head before he even made it to the door. Third and final mistake.
When I got the chains off I began my hunt. I went room by room slitting throats of the boys who thought they could bring me in. ME? I laughed continuing my slaying. Heavy boots on the metal floor and erratic breathing caught my attention.
"Nathan Rid…." Slamming the shiv right through his throat shut him up pretty quick. Least I knew where Nathan was. The door slammed and the lock engaged but I heard the woman.
"How's it feel to be hunted? Not much fun is it? Told you to leave this one alone, to not go after him. He won't stop till your dead. Time's up Nathan." I would of laughed at that but this wasn't the time. A loud smack filled the air and she was silent. I kicked the door open and walked in. The bed was the first thing I noticed. The woman was chained to it totally nude, blood covered the bottom it, she was out cold. The smell of blood assaulted my senses, smell always did things for me, when I set my gaze on Nathan. He was shaking trying to hold the gun steady but couldn't quite do it.
"This your handy work?" My voice was low and cold, I wasn't in the mood for games.
"I'll fucking shoot your head off Riddick if you take another step." His bravado returning.
"I disagree." Walking over the bed I could tell she was still breathing but just barely. I heard the gun click but nothing came out, sounded like the bullet was jammed in the chamber. This time I did laugh.
"Looks like your shit out of luck here boss." In a second I was on him, I was holding him by the throat so his feet weren't touching the ground.
"Thought you'd be the one to bring me in? Fucker." I dropped making sure he hit my knee on the way done. There was a loud crunch, broke the bastards nose. Blood was all over my leg but the smell of fear was in the air setting my adrenaline on high. Holding him down with my boot was simple enough as I he held his nose.
"I'll let her kill you." My eyes shot to the bed wanting to know if she'd do it. A swift kick to the head was enough to knock him out and drag him down the cargo hold and chain him up the same fashion that I was. I flew back up the stairs to the woman. Never woke when I undid the chains, threw clothes on her, cleaned her up and placed her in another room. Might be interesting to have around. I left her heading to the cockpit making some adjustments and setting our new course.
Movement, brought me back ot the room when I opened the door and there she was on the floor face full of pain.
"Riddick….." She whispered.
"Where do you think you're going?" I leaned against the door frame when it shut in my face. Little bitch just didn't quit but she did forget the other door.
"Forgot to lock this one." I came at her. Surprising me yet again she stood and ran out the door which wasn't easy in her condition. I loved the chase and this time was no different. I just followed the smell of blood, lead me to the kitchen where she was huddled behind one of the counters.
"I love a woman's will to survive to over come the odds but you seem to laugh at them. Now why is that?" Her coughing gave her away following the sounds I sought her right out. I felt the knife before I saw it, left a deep gash in my thigh. I roared with anger seeing her try to move again I caught her ankle. The bitch sent a swift kick to my temple making me let go. I laid there recovering when I heard the cargo hold door shut. She'd find him.
Getting up silently I opened the cargo hold door but she was already in action. She seemed to forget about me when she was killing Nathan. She impressed me with her will to survive and other well hidden secrets. Took a lot to impress me. Something about this woman I wanted to explore, luckily for her I had all the time in the world.
After she killed him she fell to the ground in pain, my turn.
"Light's 10." I called they obeyed. She saw me at the last second and started going towards the knife, never made it. I drug her back by her feet holding her still.
"Just don't quit do you? I can understand that." Her eyes gave her away.
"How long were you standing there?" She croaked.
"Whole time, interesting show you put on." Saw her eyes drop to the cut on my thigh, people died for less. I picked her up hearing a low grunt as I did. Space was long, could make people go insane. I decided I needed something to keep me busy, how interesting.
