Summery: After the end of Riddick, Riddick becomes Lord Marshal. He has Kyra's body buried on Helion Prime along with Imam's. This is a short one shot about him visiting Kyra's grave before deciding what to do with the Necro's….
Song: My Immortal by Evanescence. Why? Because it fits so fucking well. Read the lyrics with the story.
To Feel Goodbye
I'm
so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And
if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause
your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
Riddick walked down the deserted street with a rose clutched in his right fist. The rain pelted his head with painful stings. Riddick turned the corner and the graveyard came into view. Jack had died on that Necro ship. He wiped stray water droplets that slid down his goggles away. He went to the gate and noticed that there was a chain around it. With a growl, Riddick yanked away the rusted chain away, pushing the squeaky gate open. He walked down to the south side of the graveyard, searching for Jack's grave stone. He saw a glimmer of silver and stepped up to the polished, silver rock marked "Jack". Riddick stood looming over the stone.
These
wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's
just too much that time cannot erase
"How are ya kid? The after life cool?" Riddick said to the stone, hoping to hear an answer.
"I guess I'm the Necro's new Lord Marshal. I guess I'll make them abandon the faith or somthin'. I have to play hero and all that bullshit." Riddick said.
"I gotcha somthin'. It's a rose. I didn't know if you liked 'em." Riddick said kneeling and placing the rose next to the stone. He stood up again, shoving his hands in his pockets.
When
you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd
fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of
these years
But you still have
All of me
"I'm sorry I fucked up you're life, kid. If I could, I would've stopped him but I suppose you already knew that. If it's any consolation, I threw that fuckers body in a black hole. The necro's were pissed." Riddick said chuckling. He crouched, putting his hand on the stone, tracing Jack's name with his fingers. He took off his goggles and put his head in his hands.
You
used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by
the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant
dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
"God, I really fucked up you're life, Jack." Riddick said. His voice cracked and his eye's welled up with tears.
And for the first time in a long time, Riddick cried.
He fell back on his butt with a thud and sobbed uncontrollably.
These
wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's
just too much that time cannot erase
"Suck it up, Riddick. You're stronger than this!" He told himself. The rain began to lessen and Riddick stood up. He wiped his face and put his goggles back on.
"First Caroline, then Imam, and now you. Will it ever fuckin' end?" Riddick asked.
I've
tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're
still with me
I've been alone all along
"This is exactly why I hate God. Well, I gotta go before the Necro's send a fuckin' search party." Riddick said turned around to walk back but he froze. "I really am sorry, kid." He began to walk again.
"See you in hell, Jack." Riddick whisperd.
