Evanescence

Author Note:

Warning! This chapter is why this is rated T. :)

Is this real enough for you?
You were so confused
now that you've decided to stay
we'll remain together

The day turned to evening as they stayed together, voices which had been silent broke forth and the sound of Kyra's laughter rang out over the empty landscape. It seemed that neither of them had lived before this moment.

Riddick watched as the tortured, haunted look left her eyes completely as they lit up with that inner fire that had captured him even when she had been a child.

Taking her face in his large, deadly hands he looked deeply into her clear eyes and they both knew: This moment, out of all others, was real.

With all the passion and love that beat in his heart Riddick took her mouth with his and drew her lithe body against his own.


You can't abandon me
you belong to me
breathe in and take my life in you
no longer myself only you
there's no escaping me my love
surrender

The pain Riddick had felt since Kyra left him those two years before added to his passion. An overwhelming sense of possession filled him: She was his; he was hers.

Everything in him was hers to take; to own. When she was weak, he would give her all his strength; all the power that resided within him. His life would be hers and hers alone.

He lived for her, and he would die for her.


Darling there's no sense in running
you know I will find you
everything is perfect now
we can live forever

Riddick opened his eyes and mercury met Kyra's dark green. There would be no more running; no more leaving. They were now one. Where one would go, so would the other: Never to part again.

You can't abandon me
you belong to me
breathe in and take my life in you
no longer myself only you
there's no escaping me my love
surrender

Their bodies entwining all else disappeared; leaving nothing but the heat and hazy darkness that enveloped them. Heart beat matching heart beat: Pounding out an ancient rhythm. All was lost to them but the skin under their finger tips and the taste of the others mouth.

Eyes locked, bodies intertwined; together they were whole.

Breathe in and take my life in you
no longer myself only you
there's no escaping me my love
surrender
surrender
surrender...
