I was hiding in the markets when they found me. After running for a week. Hadn't eaten anything in more. There I was right at the set up. They had been after me for some time. One of the thieves turned convert must have leaked to them. They set up a switch and I flicked it. The transition of money wasn't huge but it worked. I figured it wouldn't be triggered. I was wrong. How could I not go after it? They took me right in. and with them being in charge instead of government I was taken to be a convert instead of put directly into a cell. Then a woman saw me.
"Who is this stunning vision?"
Dame Vaako
She has long blond dreadlocks, a few strands had escaped. They were curly. He had goggles over her eyes. She was wearing all black with giant combat boots. She was pale. Probably because she traveled mostly at night. When I lifted the goggled to look at her eyes she shut them against the sun. When she opened them I saw Riddick's eyes shining back at me.
"Hold, a moment guards," The two guard held her by her wrists and legs. She had a handcuff on each wrist that she must have escaped being brought in once. Now they were more like bracelets. Vaako came up next to me sliding an arm around my waist.
"Why are you paying attention to this breeder?" she opened her eyes again. "Ah I see,"
"I was thinking I would give her as a present,"
"To who?"
"Riddick," The girl's eyes widened
"What?" We ignored her
"She's not house broken,"
"That's the way he likes them,"

When I saw him again I was overwhelmed. He was just as amazing as he had always been. Larger than life. Threatening and beautiful. And absolutely dangerous. This could have had something to do with the fact that I was roped to the metal of the bed in his room. It was a giant spike that reached the ceiling. It was made to look like old canopy beds. It was cold against the flesh of my wrist. But all of me went hot when he looked at me.
He crossed the floor in a few steps after he shut the door. He got dangerously close. Inches…centimeters from my face. His hand ran up my back, through my hair and lifted the goggles off my face. They dropped to the floor as he let out a breath. Anyone who didn't know him would just have assumed he was breathing, I knew better.
"They didn't tell me about your eyes," I lost my breath. It had been forever since I heard him speak. I wasn't prepared for it at all. He saw me trying to breath and a smirk came to his face. "Cat got your tongue?"
No, but you can have it, was what I wanted to say.
"Riddick we've met before," The roll of his eyes as he crossed the room again to sit down in a chair showed that girls must have tried that line all the time.
"Where specifically?" I wanted to make him ask a million questions. Just so I could hear that rumble in his voice. I tried not to hyperventilate as I looked at him.
"On a planet a long time ago…you saved…" he had his hands on my arms grasping them as hard as he could. He was starting to break them. He was shoving a glared down my throat.
"What's your name, girl?"
"Jack," he slapped me across the left side of my face and it felt like my neck and detached from my body.
"I don't know how you know about her, but she's dead. In the ground,"
"Riddi…" another slap landed across the right side. That's when the tears started coming. The last time I cried was when Imam told me that he had left. Not when they sold me to the slave trade, not the million times I had almost died. But here came the waterworks.
He stopped and stared at me for a moment breathing heavily. He didn't get worked up over much. He kept his cool. It made me sort of happy to see that it was me that worked him up. Except the feeling that every piece of my brain had been rearranged kind of dulled out the happy feeling.
"I'm going to enjoy…"
"Riddick…please…"He slammed my head back against the spike as he pushed his hand over my mouth. He leaned in ever close
"Ripping your fingers from their sockets," He was so close and he was bending down to glare into my matching eyes. His eyelashes brushed against mine. I felt bile rise in my throat. I broke into a cold sweat and more tears started. All that danger had never been directed at me before. My eyes were wide and I felt like the little girl I had been back on that planet. Something in my eyes must have stopped him as he grabbed my fingers. He took a deep breath then inhaled again. He took his hand away from my mouth. He traced the side of my face with his fingers.
"Riddick…?"
"You smell like her…" My eyes started to let out more tears.
"I'm…"
"Tell me about the planet…and Kyra,"
