Hey, it's been so long, and I'm sorry. This is the last chapter of the story "Tantra". This journey has come to an end, which is kind of bittersweet. I want to thank everyone, especially those who liked having a vampire with Riddick. I might write a sequel, but it depends on if you guys want me to, and if you help me find a storyline. Just to let you know, I'm trying to update all my stories before I go to Europe for most of my summer, but that doean't mean I will forget the Riddick world. Enjoy and pls R&R!
I was shocked to see that the woman was naked. Streams of blood snaked down her body. Under other circumstances, this would have made me thirsty. But this time I saw the dried blood on her inner thighs. She had been raped by several people. I knew this because I could smell them on her. I also noticed that someone's seed was still seeping down her leg. I could smell four on and in her. Riddick could too.
I looked at her face and I saw nothing but pure and uninhibited rage. She knew that at the moment, she was outnumbered and physically too weak to kill all of them. But I could tell that she already knew how she was going to take her revenge. Her eyes were green and deadly. There was no emotion in them, nothing but cold and calculated intelligence. Her jaw was clenched, and her long dark hair was wild. For some reason, she reminded me of both Riddick and Alisha at the same time.
She looked at me before she slowly turned her head to see Riddick. I saw a flash of sadness in her eyes before she put her mask back on. From the corner of my eyes, I observed Riddick. Physically - he had tensed slightly. Emotionally – he matched the woman's rage. But there was something else, and that was when I realized that I just met Jack.
The man that had dragged Jack with a gun to her head, roughly pushed her on to the floor. Her arms were chained behind her, and her legs were bound together. I slowly took a few steps in front, holding a sheet in my hand. When she saw me approach, she quickly flicked her eyes to Riddick who gave the slightest nod. I think I just got Riddick's trust and therefore, I just got Jack's trust. I threw the sheet on her small frame, and watched as blood immediately stained the sheet.
"Stay away," a deep voice warned, the man that dragged Jack.
"Make me," I replied coolly.
"Oh we will later, but right now, we need to get Riddick."
He must have been fuckin' crazy to think he could get just come and get Riddick. Especially when I was here. I cracked my neck à-la-Riddick and stared into the man's eyes. With all my power and with all my will, I stared at him, willing his heart to stop beating. Obviously it didn't just stop, but it did affect him enough to lower his gun and fight for breath.
I took that opportunity to knock the gun out of his hand, and point it at his head. I was pleased with myself. I just found our way to leave, or so I thought. Another guard just shot the man.
"I never liked him anyway," said the guard, not taking his eyes off of Riddick.
"Riddick, if you don't give us trouble, we will kill them quickly. If you make it hard for us, we will enjoy making you watch them suffer."
"Ressy, you should know me better than that. I don't care shit about anyone but myself. You think some kid and some whore can control me?" He looked incredulous, he was even smirking. He better be lying.
Those words made me angry, especially when I saw a tear roll down Jack's cheek when she heard him. I wanted to hit him, and if not him, then any of the men in front. I made a low hissing noise, getting the attention of the guards in front of me. And with one fluid motion, I flung two shivs in each of their hearts. My aim is deadly accurate. As if on cue, Riddick lunged at the men in front of him, staking a shiv in one man's heart, breaking another person's neck with a sick crack, and jammed the gun into another one's gut and fired round after round. Even though it seemed as if all of this was in slow motion, it must have taken less than two minutes.
There were two men left and both of them were close to the hole they made in the wall, with their guns pointed at the opposite sides of Jack's head. I heard Riddick growl menacingly, and I mimicked his deadly sound.
One man looked up at Riddick and Jack somehow managed to find strength and a shiv. She stabbed him in the groin, while Riddick grabbed her by the waist and brought her to his side. There was only one man left.
I could see that he had accepted his death, but I also knew he was going to do something stupid. He aimed at Jack and fired. I ran in front of her to take the bullet, but I was too late. Riddick beat me to it. I stared at him in disbelief as he was shot four times. All of them were deadly shots, but somehow he was still alive, even if it were only for a few minutes.
I leaped into the air and fell onto the man. With one powerful clenched fist, I dug my hand into his chest and removed his heart. It was still beating in my hand. I brought it to my lips and licked the blood off of it, while looking directly into the man's eyes. His mind was still alive, even though his body died. When he finally died, the look of pure fear on his dead face did little to appease me.
I turned around and saw Jack was trying to hold Riddick, even though her arms were chained behind her. I heard him say that he missed her and then he closed his eyes. Jack let out a tormented scream. Her pain was so raw that it broke my own heart.
I walked to her and tried to take Riddick's body away from her, but she clung on.
"I can help him, but I need his body," I whispered gently. She looked at me with wide wet eyes.
"How?" she asked in a gruff voice. In the voice of a girl who hasn't said or drank anything in at least two weeks.
"I'm Maya. A vampire."
Many people have wondered throughout the millenniums and throughout the universe if vampires exist, if they secretly roamed our streets. I for one know the truth. I met one of the last vampires. In those few moments with her, I learned much more about the dark side than I ever wanted to know. But I now embrace this dark side, for if it did not exist, my legs and arms wouldn't be wrapped around Riddick now. Or Forever.
THE END
I hope u get the ending. In case u don't, I want to explain it a bit. Riddick became a vampire. I strongly believe that if he became a vampire, Jack would beg him to make her into one as well, and I don't think you can resist Jack. I also want them to end up together. Whereas Maya, she will continue roaming the universe until she finds her suitable person. Her own Riddick. I hope you liked it. The ending might be abrupt, but it allows me some space to write a sequel if I so choose. I hope it makes sense.
