Wings of Light
Author's Note: Sorry for the lack of update, but a severe thunderstorm hit and my computer almost got fried and I was scared to get back on it for awhile. Anyway, hope you enjoy and I hope you can forgive me.
She felt herself be ripped from the lurking darkness back into reality by a sudden hard slap across her face. Waking up, Buffy spit a mouthful of blood onto the shoes of the man standing before her. She figured they had been hitting her for awhile if she spit that much up. Looking up, she saw silver armor that seemed to glow with an eerie light and a snasty looking blade at the hip of the person. Continuing her trail, she noticed pale skin that would make a vampire look human and cold dark eyes. It was a man with a greazy mowhawk that ended in a mullet. He sneered down at her and revealed rotten or cracked teeth.
"Wench, you pay double for that!"the man yelled at her. She faintly recognized the voice before a sudden fire burned on her cheek as he slowly moved his blade tip across and down to form a somehwhat crescent moon. The blood trickled down her cheek as Buffy clenched her teeth and glared with icy hazel eyes at the man before her. She now remembered where she heard that voice, he was the one that knocked her unconcious.
"Look jackass, would ya' mind quit calling me a wench, I don't screw idiots, losers, or dumbasses like you!"she spat in his face. This seemed to irritate him more, but before he could deliver another blow, a young boy clad in a grey muscle shirt and black baggy pants appeared in the doorway. The bright light seemed to make his red hair look like fire and his unsual purple eyes seem to give you no entry into his soul. Feeling a sudden shiver run down her spine, Buffy realized that the boy wasn't normal.
"Lord Vaako, Lord Riddick wishes to meet the she-devil."the boy said. The Slayer rolled her eyes at the name but sighed realizing it was better than wench. Suddenly, she wsa jerked up from her kneeling postion and made to stand on her sore feet. Glaring at the man known as Lord Vaako, she was dragged out of her holding cell into a steel wall hallway. Looking around, she noticed a moral was painted on the walls and it showed a place of absolute darkness and a river of silver flowing into a waterfall. Black clouds circled around this dark place and silver lightning struck the ground in somewhat powerful strikes. Tearing her eyes away from the moral, she focused on the black carpet below her. That place sent shivers down her spine, making her feel the world she was now in was like this place. Suddenly, Buffy remembered the Abyss River and shuddered. Life here looked way more fun then floating along in total darkness. Looking up, she saw that two floor to ceiling doors stood before her. They were made out of a typer of metal and ancient symbols seem to make the doors glow with foreboding. A noise caught her attention with her sharper hearing. Trying to remember how she did the x-ray vision thingy, she blinked a few times, but nothing. Gritting her teeth, she focused on the door before her, but still nothing. Rolling her eyes, she swore to the Powers that they should have given her a manual on how to use her powers. Looking back at the door, she noticed it was white, but that was all she could see. Looking at the men aurrounding her, she was able to see their bones. Buffy was confused, why couldn't she see through the door but could see through people. Noticing the symbols again, she guessed it was because those blocked out any magic or something like it. Blinking, the x-ray vision was gone and she noticed the doors were finally being opened. Steeling herself, she felt Lord Vaako or who she now loved to call Jackass lead her into the room.
Room was not the right word to describe it. It was a huge Bascillas with two side balconise that went from the doors side to the vey end of it. Giants stone colums held up these balconise and stone statues of what she assumed important people were at the front of these colums, yet they seemed like gargoyles, ready to pounce on Buffy. The Slayer ntoiced that thousands of people were gathered upon the balconies, watching her with interest...she hated being the center of attention. Looking straight ahead, she felt a lump form in her throat. A man that didn't look like he belonged sat on a gold throne twirling a cuved blade in his hand. He didn't seem to notice her, so she took the oppurtunity to check him out. He had sculpted muscles that seem to belong to a god along with powerful legs that were covered by baggy black pants. A tight, black muscle shirt revealed his six or twelve pack, she couldn't really tell. His head was blad and his eyes were covered by black goggles. Looking confused at the look, she figured he looked more like a executioner than a lord.
"Lord Riddick, here is the she-devil that attacked our men and distubed our mission."Lord Vaako said. Snickers and chuckles were heard throughout the balconies at the thought of such a petite woman could take out men of their armada. The man Buffy now assumed as Lord Riddick, stopped playing with his blade and looked up to her. Immediatly she got the feeling he was checking her out. Glaring at the way his eyes roamed her body, she failed to remember she had just done the same thing. At first he didn't say a word, but Buffy caught his fast reflexes and turned her head to the side as his blade emmbeded itself in the man behind her's back. Buffy looked down at the dead man, then turned her cold eyes on Riddick. Suddenly, her eyes widen as she remembered that name.
'No way in Hell this is the guy Whistler was talking about. I mean look at him, does it look like he needs any help defeating some enemy from my world. He could probably crush Angel or Spike in a heartbeat, well his because they're dead.' she thought. Still not believing this was the man she was supposed to help, she cursed mentally. Whistler always found ways with screwing with her life. Returnig her eyes to their cold demeanor, she noticed that Riddick was chuckling. It was a deep, masculine chuckle that seemed to echo off the walls.
"She's quick, I'll give her that, but there is no way in Hell that this is the girl. I was more or less expecting a girl with my build, Vaako."Riddick said in a sarcastic tone. Buffy's eyes narrowed and her teeth clenched in pain, but she ignored it. Why did everyone have a problem with her size. Feeling her anger get the better of her, she did a backflip and caught the unsuspecting Riddick in the chin.
"Listen buddy, I may be short and small, but I sure as Hell ain't no pushover."she snarled. Instead of hearing the yelling and feeling him gripping her neck, he laughed. It was the same masculine laugh and it sent shivers down her spine. He turned to her and slwoly removed his goggles. Buffy gasped at what she saw, his eyes were a liquid mercury and they seemed to be able to see right into her soul. Gossebumps appeared on her skin as she kept staring into those eyes of his. He leaned in close to her and she could feel his hot breath on her face as he spoke.
"I know you ain't no pushover, sweetness." he whispered. Buffy shook her head as dangerous images came into her mind.
'Buffy, don't start with this, he's just gonna play you, screw you, and leave you for dead.' that little voice in her head said. Looking straight into his eyes, she bared her teeth and growled.
"Don't call me sweetness and get out of my face, ass."she whispered with venom. Riddick chuckled at that as he stood up to his full height and nodded to someone behind her. Buffy began to worry that she was about to be killed, but her wrists and ankles suddenly felt very light. She suddenly realized that they were free from their restraints. Looking to Riddick, she expected him to tell her to leave, but instead just managed to dodge a punch aiming for her cheek.
"Let's play a little game." he said in a seductive voice. 'Damn, this man knows which buttons to push and he just met me. Oh well, two can play that game.' she thought.
When she first entered, he could smel the surpise on her a mile away. It rolled off her like her blonde locks rolled down her shoulders. Chuckling mentally, he continued to act like he wasn't watching her, but hid a small smirk when she noticed him. Suprise, awe, and want seem to suddenly swallow her. She stared at him and he saw she was memorizing his features. When Vaako announced this was the girl that had attacked his men, he snickered but it was muffled by all the other snickers and chuckles around him. He stood up and reacted on instinct and watched in amusement at how the girl easily dodged his blade. He admitted that she was a lovely creature with her golden hair and toned built with tan skin. His eyes roamed her over and he smeeled her anger replace her shock and he chuckled. This girl knew how to hide her feelings, but she would never hide them from him. Just as he was about to mess with her a little, a wave of shock washed over her again. He could tell by the look in her eyes that she was even more suprised than before.
'Wonder what her problem his?' he thought with interest. Decidng to get on with his little 'game' he stepped forward with a chuckle.
"She's quick, I'll giver her that, but there is no way in Hell this is the girl. I was more or less expecting someone with my build, Vaako."he said. He looked to her and saw her icy, hazel eyes flash with anger. 'Come on little one, I want to see what you're really made of.' he thought with a chuckle, but before her could continue, a swift kick to his chin suprised him. After re-balancing himself, he turned to her and chuckled, clearly catching her off guard. But before he could say a word, she beat him to it.
"Listen buddy, I may be short and small, but I sure as Hell ain't no pushover."she snarled at him. There it was, there was the animal he had been looking for. From the moment she entered, he knew that she had an animal locked inside herself and he wanted to see it in action. Leaning forward, he breathed in her face and smiled when he saw her shudder.
"I know you ain't no pushover, sweetness."Riddick replied. His nose picked up the scent of arosual and his smirk grew. He smirked even more when she got in his face and whispered with venom, "Don't call me sweetness and get out of my face, ass.". He chuckled and stood up and motioned for Dalith, one of the guards, to unlock her. He seemed hesitant, but did as he was told. Stepping back he stood beside Vaako and watched the girl rub her sore wrists. Riddick smirked as he balled up his fist and launched a punch straight at her cheek. His smirk grew as she dodged and stared at him with surpise.
"Let's play a little game."he said.
Buffy growled as she was slung against one of the stone pillars and felt a rib crack. Flipping upward, she landed a solid punch on Riddick and she felt his knee connect to her abdomen. Taking a deep breath, she did a split and dodged his roudhouse kick and managed to flip up and wrap her legs around his thick neck. Just as she was about to flip him over, a strange sensation traveled from her stomach to her chest. His large hand was placed against her abs and a sudden electric feeling sot through her. Growling, Buffy flipped him over and stradled him and landed a solid punch to his cheek.
"What the Hell are you feeling on?"she asked with indignation. Riddick's chuckle sent shivers up her spine, but she kept her cold exterior intact.
"Just trying to get a rise out of ya'."he replied with a smirk. Buffy was shocked and suddenly felt herself being the one stradled and Riddick punching her. Yelling, she tried bucking him, but he seemed to have predicted this as he tighten his hold on her mid-section. Growling, she head butted him and managed to break his nose with the force she used, but she felt a searing pain in her forhead. He seemed daze and she used this to buck him off her and flipped backwards and had her back against a stone pillar. An eerie feeling seem to come over her as she couldn't see Riddick anywhere, but a sudden feeling in her crotch and on her wrists made her gasp. He had snuckup on her so quick that she couldn't have detected it with her eyes! He smiled with a feral glint in his eyes as he watched her squirm in his hold.
"Let me go you ass!"Buffy yelled. Riddick chuckled and breathed on her abdomen and smirked when the muscles rippled wiht pleasure. 'God, my body wants him, but my mind doesn't! I knew my body couldn't resist much longer, now he's gonna thing I want to screw him.' Buffy growled in her mind.
"You are one interesting person, so how about I keep you on board for a while, sweetness."he said. Glaring down at him, she made no remark against it. 'If I'm gonna fufill this Prophecy, might as well stay.' she thought. Riddick turned to everyone around him and pulled Buffy down, but kept his grip on her wrists.
"It seems, we have a new guest on the ship!"he yelled to everyone. Women sneered and humphed while men catcalled and nodded with approval. He motioned for the guards to come over and his liquid mercury eyes stared at them without expression. "Take her to the room that is next to mine and make sure the security system is upgraded, wouldn't want our new little pet to escape."he said. Buffy growled with anger as she was roughly hauled towards the large doors with many sounds following her.
Lord Vaako reached an extravagant hall adorned with gold, silver, and jewels all around. Buffy raised an eyebrow at this as she turned another cornr and saw two curved doors at the very end. They led her towards them and waited for Vaakoto open them. She noticed that some guards who were in that twenties or teens were checking her out from the front and back. Feeling disgusting, she eagerly walked into the king sized room and watch them leave. Her enhanced hearing caught sounds of voices outside and snorted when she realized a guard was being posted.
"Great, I'm back in Hell."Buffy whispered. Walking towards the bed, she felt drowsiness seem to take her as she pulled off her blood caked clothes and climbed into the king sized bed in her underwear and bra. Feeling the black sheets and silver bedding press comforting into her, she took one glance around and noticed a leather couch to one side of the room and a door, she assumed, that led into the bathroom. Smiling, she decided she'd take a nice, warm shower in the morning, then figure out why she had to help save an arrogant ass like Riddick.
