Jack and Chrissy walked into Chrissy's living room. Jack sat down and Chrissy went to get some dry clothes for Jack to change into. When Chrissy returned she sat down next to Jack on the couch.
"Jack, did you see the face of the man?" Chrissy asked handing Jack the clothes.
"No. I just heard his voice. He was wearing boots though." Jack tried not thinking about it but it she could still see his dark figure on top of her. Jack started crying and Chrissy took her in her arms.
"Shhh. It's ok. He's gone now, he can't hurt you again." Chrissy held Jack in a tight embrace. "Go change into these dry clothes and you can spend the night here if you'd like."
"Thanks but I really need to get home. I know I'm safe there. Quadruple locks and three chains." Jack changed into the dry clothes.
"Well at least let Buddy and I take you home." Chrissy said Buddy her lava dog running at his name.
"Ok."
Jack said good-bye and thank you to Buddy and Chrissy as they walked down the hall to the lobby of the apartments she lived in. She pulled out her key and slid it into the lock turning it making it click, she walked into her apartment and the window in her living room was open.
No, please no. She thought as she slowly walked to the window to close it. She set her hands on the window pushing down, closing it she locked it. She sat down on the couch in the middle of the room and let out a sigh of relief that she was home. She sat for a few minutes before getting up and walking into her bedroom. Grabbing a towel and walked into the bathroom in her room, closing the door behind her. She started the water checking the temp so it was just the way she liked it, when it was right she stepped in the stall letting the water fall down her face, chest, and stomach; then hitting the floor of the stall. She thought she heard the door open. Pulling back the curtain she looked around the small room not seeing anybody she returned to her shower. When done she turned off the water she stepped out wrapping the towel around her wet body. She opened the door to the bathroom, looking up she saw a dark figure in the windowsill of her window. She thought she knew who it was; she thought it was the man that had raped her just hours earlier.
"What do you want?" She asked trying not to show any fear.
"Riddick" Jack whispered into the air taking a step forward. The figure in the window gave a low growl.
"Jack." Riddick said in his deep and hollow voice. Riddick's head moved a little to the side showing his glowing eyes. When Riddick laid his eyes upon the beauty she had become hate fell over his features in the dark. Jack could see that something was strange about Riddick's visit; I mean it's been 10 years. Jack took a few steps toward him and he took a few back.
"Riddick?" She repeated with the urge to run over there and wrap her arms around him and hold him tight. She just couldn't grasp the fact he was back. She looked down remembering she was only in a towel. "Um… could I… would you go out please." She said pointing out her bedroom door to the living room. He took a quick glance where she was pointing. He stood up and walked into the other room his boots making no sound on the carpet. She watched as he strode into the next room, his muscles moving with each step, and his arms at his sides. Ten years ago she would have thought his panther like stride cool, but now she finds it hot.
Hmm. Wonder if he works out? she thought as she stared at his ass as he exited the room. She had to close her eyes to stop staring, when he was in the other room she closed the door leaning against it. She stood up walking over to the dresser by the window Riddick had been crouching in. Pulling open the top drawer and pulling out a black tank-top and a pair of jeans. Dropping the towel she slipped on the jeans and tank-top, heading for the door to the room she grabbed a hair band from the small table by the bedroom door, opening it and walking into the living room putting up her long brown hair in a pony-tail.
Riddick stood with his back to her at the window she had closed before jumping into the shower. She walked up behind him and set a hand on his shoulder making him turn his head just enough so she could see the left side of his face.
"Is there a reason you're here?" She asked taking a few steps to the left so she could see his face. "Mercs they're on your neck right?" She tried looking deep into his crystal orbs but he turned his head away looking back out the window. "Riddick please… I want to know why you came back." She let her hand fall to her side. She walked over and sat on the end of the couch trying to figure out why he was back. "Ya know after a while I thought I had you figured out, but then you go and surprise me by leaving… then you surprise me again by coming back." She held back the tears she had for him shutting her eyes tight and thinking of how much she missed this man people say is so horrible.
Jack stirred in her own mind pondering his next move, what he might say or do.
"I just need some reason why you came back and I know there is one or you wouldn't have dropped by." Riddick turned from the window to look at her sitting on the couch. It took him every fiber of his being to keep him from walking over to her and holding her in his arms. He knew what happened he was there He saw everything. He turned around to face her back. She stood up turning around to face him, when she looked into his eyes she saw it, saw the guilt that plagued him and the hate that filled his heart. Her heart sunk in her chest and the tears started flowing without her consent.
"Why did you leave?" she questioned in a small trembling voice. "When you left I wanted to grab you and never let go." She stated wiping away the tears. "You said you had a good reason fro leaving. I know where you went; you went to U. V. 6, self isolation from the universe. I didn't come after you cause I knew you'd just send me on my way." She finished; holding back the urge to beat the crap out of him and hug and kiss him while doing it. There was a long uncomfortable silence as she stared at him with painful eyes. "I needed you Riddick and you left to protect your own ass." Riddick placed his goggles back over his eyes so she couldn't see anymore of him. "Don't think that little scam of you being dead sounds legit cause it doesn't. 'Riddick dies in ship crash on Fisher 2.' It doesn't make sense." She said trying to sound mad more then hurt.
"Jack…" He said taking a step forward.
"It's Kyra now." She huffed crossing her arms. He slowly walked over to her setting his hands on her hips looking into her eyes. She tried pulling away but his hold was to strong. He got real close to her ear.
"I cam back for you." He whispered in her ear. A small smile formed on her face and she started to light up. Her crossed arms slide up his muscular ones and settled on his shoulders.
"Really?"
"Really." He pulled her closer to his body without any resistance from her. "He will die." He said to her as he let go of her hips walking out the front door.
