Warning: Contains death and attemped rape.
Jack was alone. It had been three days since Riddick had left. Three days since she told him she was pregnant. Three days since he said it wasn't his. Three days since she knew who was the father. For these past days Jack had grown it hate the thing growing inside her. Guilt ate her up. It was for him why she did it. It was to protect him. That's why she had been sleeping with that other man. It was late at night.
You're leaving me here, dear
Alone with all your letters
You're letting it go, no
Like innocence and feathers
A knock on the door woke her from her self-pity. She stood up still foggy from all the thoughts and feeling bubbling up inside her and walk to the door. Pulling the door open she was greeted to the cocky rat-like face of a Merc. Moving aside she let him in.
You're putting it down
Sounds slipping into songs
You're leaving me here, dear
Alone with all my wrongs
He walked in like he owned the place, like he was familiar with the house. It was clear he had been here many times before. He wore a shabby tweed suit, the jacket not matching the pants. His shirt was a dirty white and his hair was slicked back, his fading hairline on show. It was when he had sat down on the couch and rearranged the cushions for his liking before he spoke. "Time to pay up again."
You're pulling away
Pray you're making the right choice
You're pulling away
Stay and listen to my voice
To my voice
"Riddick is gone." Marie closed the door slowly behind her, making sure to leave it ajar. This man was relentless; if she needed to escape a locked door wouldn't block her way. She sighed and walked up to the man. Arm's wrapped defensibly around her self in a sort of self-hug to give her courage to stand up to this Merc. "I don't need to pay no more."
Sooner or later you will long
When you wake you will see
Sooner or later all the songs
That make you shake will be by me
Sooner or later all the throngs of feelings
We used to appreciate will come rushing back
"You many not needed to protected him from me now but there is still your-self you need to protect. You can pay me not to kill you." He licked his lips and raised a bushy eyebrow at her, making his face look deranged. "We'll do it in his bed."
You're thinking about
How you thought you knew me better
You're looking around town
And wondering how I met her
"I cant. Im pregnant." Jack clutched her self more. She licked her dry lips in hopes of bring back some moisture to them. "Its yours."
You're pulling away
Pray you're making the right choice
You're pulling away
Stay and listen to my voice
To my voice
He rose of the couch and walked up close to her. She could feel his breath on her neck. He was shorted than her but he was stronger. The Merc's hand moved to her stomach, her arm hiding it somewhat from his touch. Swatting at her arm, it was soon move down to her side. The thing growing within her with in full view of its father. A shiv appeared in his hand. "Im not what they say 'the father type'."
Sooner or later all the throngs or feelings
We used to appreciate will come rushing back
When you wake you will see
He moved fast the shiv entering and leaving her lower stomach quicker than she could blink. She fell to the floor, her hand going to where he had struck her. She felt the heat of her blood cover her hand. She was stupid; she deserved to die. She felt him push her on her back out of the foetal position she was in. He straddled her hips, his pants absorbing the blood. He pulled her hands above her head. Jack wished for death to come soon.
Don't wake me as you leave
Don't make me believe I have a chance in hell
Don't tell me what I know too well
Don't wake me
"Now that is sorted, I can collect my payment." He had hold of her hands with one hand while the other was unbuttoning his pants. He was breathing heavily, his hand slippery from the blood. Jack pulled at his wrist every time she moved her lower body pain shoot up through her. She looked up at the light coming from the open door. If only she could get there. Blackness covered the light and Jack knew the door had shut completely. She had no chance now.
As you're leaving me here dear
Alone with all your letters
Don't let it go of your innocence and feathers
Now I find that every sound reminds me of our song
Silver glistened slightly in the darkness, where the light had come from to cause it to do so was unknown. The silver moved fast blurring in a wave of light. There was a thud as it hit something. Blood hit jack on her check. The Merc spluttered before collapsing on to her, blood flowing heavily from his neck. He would bleed to death in mere minutes. Jack felt someone push the Merc of her before picking her up. Clutching tightly to whom it was Jack cried in pain. She didn't care who held her, even if they were going to kill her. She breathed in sharply as the pan worsened. She could smell him. "Riddick."
Since you left me here dear
Alone with all my wrongs
With my wrongs
She awoke to find it was daylight and that she was in her bed. She turned and felt pain in her side. Looking at the bandage she knew it wasn't a dream. Riddick had saved her. He wasn't in the room, so she climbed slowly out and made her way to find him. The Merc and the blood had been cleaned up. Riddick was lying on the couch. "I did it for you."
"I know." He answered. "How long?"
"A month." She replied. "He had come round and threatened to kill you if I didn't pay him. I couldn't afford to give him credits. So he took something else instead."
"My Jack." Riddick stated, his voice sounded strained.
"I want to keep you safe. That kept you safe." Jack felt a tear run down her face. He had moved a muscle apart from the rise and fall of his chest and his lips when he spoke. "He would have killed you."
"That's fucking bollocks! I would have killed him." Riddick yelled. Did she really think that some dick could kill him? The idea it self was ludicrous. "I did kill him and it didn't take more than one swipe."
"I didn't know. He said some convincing things Riddick, there's only so much I can take." Jack sobbed openly. The pain in her stomach made her reach out for support, finding it on a near by armchair. She was stupid. She knew this. She was too wrapped up in what the Merc had said to think it was unlikely. The idea that Riddick had been found so easily had scared her. As long as she paid up he promised the would keep all Merc's of their backs. "Im still your Jack."
Riddick watched her grip on the back of the chair tightened; he could tell she was in great pain. "I know you are. You lost the child."
"I know." Jack's sobs were drying out. She was exhausted emotionally. She wished to crawl into a dark corner to die. Jack realised it was all for nothing. The whole month of having that creeps hands on her body, lying to Riddick. All that it left her within the end was a near rape, a mutilation and Riddick leaving her. A soaring pain went through her side from her wound. She doubled over trying to easy the pain. What had the Merc done to her?
"Jack?" Riddick had moved soundlessly to her side, picking her up he carried her to her room. Laying her down on the slightly blood stain sheets. He lifted up her shirt to see the bandage. It was soaked with blood; it looked like the wound had reopened. It was going to be a slow recovery. "Its okay, Jack. Stay with me."
"Don't leave." She said between clenched teeth. The pain was so intense she was seeing white spots behind her eyes. She wanted the pain to stop.
"Im not going anywhere until you heal." Riddick had removed the bandage and was cleaning the wound. Grabbing the bottle of iodine off the side table he regarded Jack. She was going to pass out. "Stay with me Jack."
His words were unheard. She had already fallen into the blissfulness of the dark.
