Chapter 7

"You can stop jabbing that into my back now, I said I'll do it" Johns' gun was pressed right between her shoulder blades and he was twisting the gun back and forth to make it that much more painful. Johns chuckled causing Serena to grit her teeth in frustration. She always hated being out of control, that's why she preferred working and being alone. They were just about to step out of the crash ship when Johns spoke.

"Now before we get to everyone I want to make something clear." Johns stopped and pulled Serena around to face him. He tucked his gun into the back of his pants.

"If anyone asks you, you volunteered to do this, you can make up any bullshit excuse why you wanted to, but there will be no talk of me forcing you. Is that clear?" As he was saying this, his voice had gotten more and more direct. She felt like she should salute or something. When she didn't say anything Johns slowly smiled.

"Good."

Johns then shoved Serena out of the door. Not expecting the push Serena tripped over her legs. Catching herself she instantly raised her arm to shield her eyes against the brightness. Squinting Serena steadily made her way over to the people. They were all still crowded around the hole, not going too close incase something grabbed them. And lucky for her she got to check it out!

Standing in front of the hole Serena mentally prepared herself. It's just a hole..nothing to be afraid of..although its dark and scary looking an---NO NO STOP..happy thoughts happy thoughts.

"So Johns just told me you're going to check out the hole for us." Fry said. Turning around she saw Johns in the distance glaring at her and patting his gun holster as in warning. Switching her eye contact back to Fry she replied.

"Yeah I'm curious to see what happened, Riddick couldn't have done it."

"Why do you say that?"

"Just a feeling I have." Nodding Carolyn bent down to retrieve some rope. Imam came over to give Serena a flashlight. And soon enough everyone was gathered around her. Taking the elastic band from around her wrist she gathered her long black hair that had become quite messy since the crash up into a loose ponytail.

"You ready?" Fry asked.

"I guess." Fry took the end of the rope that was fastened to a carabineer and hooked it on to Serena's belt loop. Making sure it was strong enough Fry jerked it a few times. Satisfied with the strength Fry stepped back and grabbed the other end of the rope.

"Good luck!" Jack cried and immediately fell silent when Johns turned and around and scowled at him.

Turning on the flashlight Serena got on her knees in front of the hole. Digging the hole a little bigger so that she could fit she first made sure it was clear. She took her flashlight and shone it in the hole. When nothing happened and there was nothing she could see, she dug. Pushing her body into the hole she felt the sand go down her top. Well isn't that completely sad since it's the most action I've had for awhile. Her hole eventually grew into a cave, little light streaking in from above. Holding her flashlight like a weapon Serena shone her light all over, but all there was, was sand. Sighing with defeat Serena was ready to turn around and crawl back up the hole when she spotted something. It looked like a boot. Lifting her flashlight like a weapon she quickly turned the corner only to discover a chewed up human leg, its bone protruding through the skin. Well I guess that is that..Zeke was eaten. All of a sudden Serena felt something push her hard against her back throwing her to the ground. Well I guess that's my cue to leave.. She could hear these weird sounds like whispers coming from all around her. She felt the hair on her neck raise and that was never a good sign. Running towards her hole it was then she saw the wall move. It formed into some sort of animal. Backtracking she looked for another way of escape. The only place was straight ahead and she was going to have to climb. Racing towards it she could hear the sounds getting louder and louder like they were right behind her. Leaping on the wall Serena dug her hands gripping anything she could. Going on pure adrenaline she was able to reach the top in no time. She could already feel the heat of the sun, but she wasn't there yet. She still had to climb up the hollow cone and pray to god that someone would find her. Putting her hands on either side she hefted herself up and shimmed her way. What she didn't expect was the jerk on her rope causing her to slide down. Making sure she had a good grip with her feet on either side of the wall Serena gripped the rope and pulled it, trying to give herself more slack. Instead it seemed the rope got tighter. Groaning in pain Serena tried to unhook the carabineer from herself but couldn't release it, all the while hearing those animal sounds. Looking down she could see them running beneath her.

"HELPPPPP ME! I'M IN HERE!" screamed Serena. Sweating frantically she tried to come up with a plan B if no one came. She didn't have any sort of weapon, she didn't know what kind of creatures they were but she was pretty damn sure they weren't friendly.

All of a sudden a fist came punching through the sand. Several followed, until there was a hole.

"Grab my hand" Looking up she met Johns' eyes. Not sure what to do she waited until someone else put their hand towards her. When no one did she grasped onto his hand suspicious of what he would do. When he started pulling her up she began to relax. Imam eventually came to help grabbing her arm to help her through the hole. The first thing she did was unhook the carabineer and watched it slide back into the hole. Breathing hard she waited for the questions. Johns was the first to speak up.

"So what did you find?"

" I dunno, there were these creatures and it looks like they were the ones who attacked Zeke. Riddick's right he's not the one we have to worry about." Walking up to Johns Serena said simply "remember our deal." Chewing on his lip Johns stormed off towards the ship. Smiling smugly Serena started answering the questions from everyone else.
