Victoria vanished as she stepped out of the ship and he ran up to his room, grabbing his cloak and putting it on.

Riddick found her in a park, sitting on a bench, watching as children played. He sat down next to her.

"Why did you lie to me? To Jack?" he asked and she looked at him.

"What I am now, is not how I was then. I would have killed these children as soon as look at them, drain them dry. I killed many people, men, women, children, didn't matter."

"If you're the first, how did you become what you are?"

"For an ancient ritual I drank the blood of a purely evil man, a sorcerer. His blood killed me, but I didn't stay dead, I became the first immortal, the first vampyre." She said and looked back at the children. In the sunlight her dark hair gleamed and her skin was almost translucent, her blue veins visible underneath. "You couldn't possibly begin to fathom what it's like to be as old as I am. I love you and Jack because you're human. Human life is fragile; you are schooled in that lesson more than others; but I am the professor."

"Very philosophical." Riddick said and she shot him another look.

"I was married once to a man I didn't love. I killed him, stabbed him in his sleep. I did this before I became a vampyre, or night-demon as they were called back then. I hated my husband, he hurt me, raped me every night until I was pregnant with his child, he killed the newborn when he found out it wasn't a boy. The process began all over again until I delivered his son. I killed my husband, became what I am and took care of my child. I watched the boy grow up to become just like his father. History repeated itself and his own abused wife killed him in his sleep. Only she wasn't as fortunate as I and she was executed."

"Tough break." Riddick muttered and she smiled showing fang, they seemed almost too white in the bright sunlight. Her smile vanished as if someone had flicked a switch and her eyes filled with sadness.

"I need Jack back, I miss her." She said and laid her head on his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around her and stroked her shoulder.

"We'll get her back Victoria, I promise. Come on; let's go back to the ship. We need to strategize." Riddick said and felt her nod against his shoulder. They stood from the bench and walked back to the ship in silence.

Day was quickly turning into night, and as the sun set they were in the second cargo hold, looking at Victoria's range of weapons.

"I think we should just go in there and slaughter them."

"There will be humans in there Riddick, but they shall be sleeping, for these humans are the day-time guardians of the vampyres."

"So what do you think we should use? Guns, knives, wooden stakes?"

"We will let them capture us."

"Excuse me?" he asked and she looked at him.

"Riddick, based on the scans that I did, we'll never be able to fight our way in. They have to bring us in."

"What about weaponry?"

"I don't need any and well you...they won't consider you a threat because after all, you are human. So just strap some wooden weapons to your body along with regular ones and you'll be set. I'll be guiding you through your fight if you come up against a vampyre."

"How will you do that?"

"We exchanged blood remember?" she said, "I can whisper in your mind." He blinked rapidly hearing her voice caress the walls of his conscious mind.

"Can I do the same?" he asked and she nodded.

"We have a mental link now. Just think and I'll be able to hear you."

"Has it always been like this?"

"Ever since you drank my blood, yes. So that means I have heard every lewd thought you've had of me since then. Why do you think I made a move on you in the first place?"

"You didn't want to?"

"Oh I wanted to, I just loved it that you really wanted to." She said and smiled, flashing fang. "Now get suited up and let's go." Riddick strapped wooden knives and stakes to his body along with his regular shivs and they left the ship, going out into the night.
