Lena was having terrible nightmares again. She started thrashing around and making a lot of noise. Riddick woke easily to the sounds and went to check on her. For some reason Riddick was strangely attracted to her. He wanted her real bad too, but that could wait.
He gets to her door and slowly opens it. He sees Lena thrashing and then she starts to scream. The scream actually makes Riddick jump. Riddick walks to Lena's side and tried to wake her. It took a few minutes, but he managed to. Lena waked up, startled and covered with sweat. Lena sat straight up in bed, the sheets falling away, exposing a beautiful pair of breasts. Riddick ignores them and tries to comfort her.
Lena starts to cry and hugs Riddick closer to her. Riddick feels and looks a little uncomfortable, but he tries.
"What is wrong Lena?" asks Riddick in his low rumbling voice.
"Nightmares" replies Lena, shivering.
Sounding concerned Riddick asks "What of?"
"My past and I do not want to talk about it." Lena replied getting straight to the point.
Lena finally stopped shivering and noticed that she was completely naked. Riddick saw the blush that crept up her chest and made it to her face.
"I'll be honest Riddick, what am I doing here? There are no fights or running going on, why am I here?"
Sighing Riddick sits up and puts his head in his hands. A moment later Riddick turns to face Lena and starts to explain.
"An elemental once told me that after I got the necromancers home and I came back here, I'd find a woman. She calculated that I might finally be able to settle down with someone. She told me the signs and I followed my instincts."
Lena just stared at Riddick. Did she hear him right?
"I once was old that I'd met a man that would change my life forever and make the nightmares stop." Lena sat back and took a deep breath. Riddick looked at Lena and opened his arms to her. Lena welcomed the comfort of his strong, muscular arms. And together they slept in complete peace.
