Murderers Can Love?

Chapter Five

Clarissa walked silently beside him as they went down hallways and through miscellaneous doors. She didn't know where they were going, the only thing she did know was that Aereon was about to get quite a yelling at. She noticed that Riddick would growl from time to time and it made her think of an aggressive dog. It felt to her that she could almost sense his thoughts. She could tell that he was interested in her. She could smell his arousal…it was faint but she could still sense it. Unknown to her, he was smelling hers too.

"When did Aereon contact you?" Riddick snarled at her. He was getting frustrated with the beast…it was demanding that he fuck her.

"About twenty hours ago." As she said this she realized that she was more tired then she had thought. She tried to hide her yawn but to no avail. Riddick glanced in her direction and she detected compassion in his eyes. Too quickly it was gone. 'Riddick…why won't you just accept me and love me?' The thought came out of no where and Clarissa panicked. 'Why the hell do I care if he loves me? I just need to replenish our lost race.' She questioned herself. She was so deep in her thoughts that she can into a door.

"Well I was going to knock, but you crashing into it will do." Riddick smirked. She rubbed her head and nodded. He pushed open the door and a gust if wind blew out at them. She saw Riddick's muscles tighten and his back was as stiff as a board. He obviously wasn't comfortable with the wind and she couldn't for the strangest reason think of why. As she walked in Aereon warmly greeted her. When the seemingly frail woman finished hugging her, Clarissa could actually take in her features. She was wise and old but still had the agility of a youth. Clarissa appreciated that immediately.

"My, my, my Clarissa your eyes are as beautiful as Riddick's." Aereon cooed. Clarissa was soothed by her voice. "How has your stay been so far?"

"It'd of been fine if this big brute hadn't tried to kill me right off the bat." Clarissa sneered in the direction of Riddick. (If you think about it they both act like immature kids sometimes) He just rolled his silver eyes at him.

"Don't worry about it dear, he wouldn't kill you if his life depended on it." Riddick became furious at her.

"WHAT IS IT WIND WOMAN? YOU DON'T THINK I CAN KILL A MERC? I HAVE BEFORE AND SHE'S NO FUCKING DIFFERENT!" He snarled at her with great intensity. She never flinched though Clarissa almost did. Sudden outbursts annoyed her keen ears.

"You won't kill her. Go on try." Clarissa stared stupidly at Aereon. Was this woman seriously gambling with her life? She saw Riddick get up with a shiv and aim it at her throat. Before he could shove it in…he hesitated and dropped it. Snarling he sat down. "Now that we're done being childish. I suspect that you have questions."

"Fucking damn right I do." Riddick growled. (he does that a lot lol) "Why the hell is she here?" He said pointing in Clarissa's direction.

"She's here to replenish your race." Aereon simply stated. That wasn't the answer Riddick wanted.

"Do you honestly think I'll let someone get close to me after Jack died?" He bellowed.

"Yes I believe you can…you are strong enough to over come your emotions over Jack and to love again." These words quieted him. "I suspect we'll leave Riddick to think. How about we get you into the bathing pool Clarissa?" Clarissa nodded eagerly. The hot water of a bathing pool was exactly what she wanted. Aereon gracefully proceeded out of the door and down the dark corridors. Clarissa followed and noticed that the whole Necromonger ship was full of dark dank places. 'Not even an ounce of color on the walls.' She sighed to herself. Though she could only see a purple-silver color out of her eyes…she had another ability. She could change her eyes back into her human ones and see in color. Though she preferred to use her shined ones…seeing color through her green eyes didn't hurt. As they rounded the corner of a corridor, Aereon opened the door to the bathing pool. "You should be undisturbed while you are bathing. Take as long as you'd like and wash up good." Clarissa nodded as she stepped into the warm room that held the pool. She giggled with glee at the rich color in the room. 'Finally…some familiarity' She thought. Aereon left the room closing the door behind her and Clarissa quickly shed her clothes. She dived into the pool and her skin tingled at the feeling of the hot water. She was in heaven. Suddenly the door opened and a tall figure filled the doorway.
