"How dare you!" Riddick yelled when he had gotten back to the ship and found her sitting in his room. "How dare you go there!"

"I'm not the monster you think I am Riddick. I could've killed them in an instant, you included but I didn't." Victoria said and there was a long silence. "Elias is dead. I felt it when I woke tonight, he was killed in his sleep."

"Do you know who killed him?" Riddick asked.

"No. I couldn't feel him in my head when I woke and I knew that he was dead. And this time he won't come back."

"Do you think that it'll come after you now?"

"I don't know. But if it does I'll lead it away, if it does I'll kill it."

"How old was Elias?"

"Over ten thousand."

"If he couldn't do it, what makes you think that you will?"

"Because I'm stronger." She said and her eyes closed, she cocked her head to the side. "Go to the cargo hold"

"Why?"

"Because Jack is there." She said and Riddick left going to the cargo hold, Jack was indeed there, her bicycle against one wall.

"What are you doing here Jack?" Riddick asked and she looked at him.

"I wanted to see her again, there's something about her Riddick. Something not normal. What is she Riddick? And how did you come to meet her?" Jack asked.

"When was the last time you ate?" he asked and she gaped at him.

"What does that have to do with anything?" she asked.

"Answer my question."

"This morning, now answer mine."

"Come on kid, lets get you something to eat." he said and they headed to the kitchen, he sat down at the table and gestured to the fridge. She opened it and he saw her start.

"There's blood in here." She said looking at him. "I knew you liked the taste of human blood, but not that much."

"It's pigs blood actually, and it's not for me." He said with his arms crossed over his chest.

"If its not for you then who..." her sentence stopped and her eyes went wide. "It's for her?" she asked and Riddick nodded, he could see her adding the things up. The blood, inhuman speed and strength. "Holy fuck Riddick! She's a...a...vampyre?" she said that last word in whisper. He nodded slowly and she sat down. "Really?"

"Really. She's over five thousand, or so she tells me."

"Can she hear us?"

"Yes, and I bet you anything we could talk like R2-D2 and she'd understand us."

"R2 who now?" Jack asked and he sighed.

"Kids these days, no sense of history." Riddick said.

"No kidding." They both looked over to see Victoria leaning in the doorway, her hands in her pants pockets. "I couldn't help but overhear. Might I remind you Riddick, Elias was killed by something or someone that knew what he was that knew how to kill him and best time to. It's that particular reason why my kind does not tell people about our existence." She said and Riddick stood.

"You can trust her Victoria, the only other person she'll tell is probably Imam."

"Imam. Remember when I told you what happened to the last holy man that knew what I was? He was burned at the stake!"

"That was in the twelfth century Victoria, times have changed."

"Not as much as you would think." She said.

"Question." Jack said and Victoria looked at her. "Do you really not have a reflection?"

"No I don't, and to prove it, do you have a mirror?" she asked and Jack took small rectangular one out of her pocket. She handed it to Victoria and stood behind her as she raised it. Jack was the only one in the mirror's image.

"Whoa." She said and Victoria laughed.

"And I don't show up in photographs either." She said and Jack looked at her.

"That is so cool!" Jack said and Riddick cleared his throat making both of them look at him.

"Jack, might I remind you that she's a corpse." Riddick said and Jack glared at him.

"Riddick, I don't care." She said and turned back to Victoria. "You wanna go out for a walk? I bet you just have loads of stories that I'd love to hear." She said and Victoria smiled.

"I do have lots of stories, and I'd love to go for a walk." She said and they turned walking away. "Don't wait up Riddick." She said and they were gone.

Over the next week or so, Victoria and Jack spent a lot of time together. Imam took the news of what Victoria is very well that he accepted it instantly. The sun rose one morning and Victoria was in her coffin, sleeping the day away. Riddick heard something in her room and glanced at his chrono, she won't be awake for another 3 hours. He got up from his bed and went into her room to find Imam about to drive a stake into her chest. He caught his arm and pushed him back.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked and noticed the older mans appearance. He looked distraught and enraged.

"I have to kill the monster." He said trying to get at Victoria again. Riddick grabbed the stake twisting it out of Imam's hand and threw it across the room.

"I thought you were fine with what Victoria is." Riddick said and Imam locked eyes with him.

"I was, until Jack came home with puncture scars on her neck." Imam said and Riddick looked at the slumbering vampyre.
