Old Memories/New Revelations
(I don't own any of the people of TCOR, but i do own Calandra. and Marcino)
Calandra ran through the city and made left by the church and down the alley way. She saw Imam's house. She open the door and waiting for her was little eight year old Ziza.
"Cousin CJ, you back already?" smiled Ziza.
"Yes, was you good for your mother?" said CJ
" Of course, did you see Riddick?" said Ziza
"Yes, where is your mother?" said CJ
" She went into the market to get some food. She should be back by now." said the little girl.
CJ walked inside the house and it reminded her of Imam, she walked down the hallway to the chair that he use to sit in. It hurt her inside when she found out that he died. There was something or someone in the house with them. Calandra felt danger around her. She took Ziza into a secret room behind the stairway.
"Ziza, I want you to go to Riddick and stay there with him. Don't tell him anything." said Calandra " On my mark, I'm going to say Imam and I want you to run okay." said Calandra.
Ziza hide in the staircase and Calandra shut the door. She saw a figure in the room. She stood on the stairs and she heard more footsteps. She looked to she who it was and she was shock.
"How did you find me?" said Calandra
"How else do you think I was going to follow you, you took my ship?" said the man
"Imam!" said Calandra. She jumped on the man and began fighting with the man. The man kept up with Calandra. The man didn't notice the little girl leaving the house and running toward the ship. She found a necro standing by the door. The Necro looked at the girl and laughed.
"Please let me see Riddick." pleaded Ziza
"Sorry little girl, I can't do that." laughed the Necro. Ziza saw another Necro coming by her. She didn't know who the other Necro was bet she remember that she saw Riddick with him before. She ran towards him. Vaako noticed Ziza running toward him.
"What do you want little girl?" said Vaako
"Yes, please take me to Riddick." said Ziza
"Why?" said Vaako
"I need his help, please let me talk to him." said Ziza
"Come with me." siad Vaako
Vaako and Ziza went inside the ship and Davana came walking toward her husband and the child. She look at the girl with disgust, but the little girl didn't pay attention to Davana she saw Riddick so she ran right to him.
"RIDDICK!" she cried
Riddick turned around and saw Ziza and ran to her. He looked at her noticed something was wrong because she wasn't with her mother
"Ziza, what is wrong?" said Riddick.
" My mother is missing and there's someone in my house with CJ." said Ziza
"What!" growled Riddick. He looked at Ziza and knew that she wasn't lying.
" There are some monsters in my home and they are hurting CJ." Said Ziza.
"Stay here Ziza, they will protect you." growled Riddick "Vaako, you better watch this girl with your life if you don't I will kill you." said Riddick.
Riddick began running down the hallway and made a left turn to the front entrance. Next thing he knows that he was running through the city. He made a left turn down a alley way and he was at Imam's home. He sniffed the air and smell blood, there was so much of it, it was making him sick. He opened the door and saw about 15 men dead. Blood splattered everywhere. He smelled the air again and he didn't smell Lailjun anywhere. He started to look around until he started to here someone moan. He walked softly around the house and saw CJ laying on the floor surround by blood. His blood started to boil. Calandra tried to hide from the figure she saw coming inside of the door. She had her knife in her hand as the figure began to come closer. Then she finally saw it was Riddick.
" Hey, I'm going to get you out of here." said Riddick. He look at her with passion and sadness and the more he look at her the more he was angry about what had happen,
"Why are you here Riddick? What make you think that I need you know for?" she said weakly. She began to cough up blood. Vaako came inside the doorway and found Riddick.
"What the hell are you doing here Vaako, I told you to stay with her." growled Riddick.
" You need help with this woman, who was trying to kill you and I guess someone trying to kill her. And plus Ziza is with Davana. It seems that she is interesting young child." said Vaako
" Where is she, is she okay?" said CJ
"Yes she is fine," said Riddick.
The two men pick up the woman and took her back into the ship. When the two men came inside of the ship, Aearon was right behind them.
Chapter 2: Old Memories/Surprising Revelations.
She laid there silently asleep while Riddick starred at her. He was remembering their encounter when she was younger. She was gorgeous than, but now she just beautiful. He felt bad for her and understood her anger told him about leaving her here in New Mecca. All he wanted to do is to keep her safe from the Mercs. She was too young for him to watch over and definitely too young for him to get involved with her. He had to stay away from her, he couldn't keep her scent out of his nose or his mind. Her animal instinct and power was too much for him to ignore. He remembered when she was at Butcher Bay with him( Memory Flashback at Butcher Bay)
"So Shadow, what is your real name?" said Riddick, as they walk to his jail cell.
"Calandra Jones, but you can call me CJ" said Calandra
"Interesting." said Riddick.
"Why is it interesting?" said Calandra
"I was just wondering why do people would want to pay money for you?" said Riddick
"I don't know, or I just don't remember." said Calandra
They was by Riddick's cell and he turned around to Calandra.
"Are you going to be okay?" said Riddick. He looked down at her, he could see the fear in her eyes. She didn't want to be alone. But, she probably want to impress him. She gave him a weak smile and left with the guard. The guard put her in the cell with another woman. A few hours in the cell, it was time for them to exercise. Four guys saw her from a distance. Riddick had a feeling that something was wrong. He felt the girl was going to be in danger. He noticed that the girl was moving very slowly. They walked down the hallway to a room that everyone exercise in. Riddick stayed in a dark shady area. The young girl went to the punching bag and stayed there and began to the punch bag.
"She needs to put more power behind that punch." Said Riddick to himself. He watch one of the men walk towards the young girl.
"Hey, little one you need some help with that big bag." said the man
" No, I would appreciate if you would leave me alone. I'm trying to concentrate on my punches." said the young girl. The man moved behind Calandra and started to put himself on her, and Riddick started to move towards them, but there was two other men who stopped Riddick in his place.
"You got a problem on what our friend doing to the girl. Hey, Mikey I think she likes it." said one of the guy with red hair.
Riddick look over to Calandra notice that she was looking at him. For some reason Riddick opened his mouth without making a sound and told her to fight back, don't let them take nothing from her. Definitely not her innocence.
"I appreciate if you leave me alone." said Calandra
"Or what? You can't do nothing to me." laughed the man.
Calandra's eyes began to glow and she turned around and push the man off of her.
"You want to play, little girl let's play." said the man
The man swung a punch at Calandra and she blocked and punch the man in the gut. She kicked him in the face. The man stumbled back, got his bearings, and ran towards her. He did multiple of punches and she blocked every last one of them. She ducked and did a swift kick under the man's leg, he felled onto the floor and she jumped on top of him, but before she could land a punch on the guy another person came behind her and punch her in the back of her head. Riddick jumped into the action and took care of the rest of the men. With multiples of ducks and punches Riddick took care of them with no problem. He saw Calandra on the floor unconscious and blood coming out of her mouth. He pick her up and took her back to his cell. But before he left the room he said something to the men.
"If any one of you try to hurt her again, I swear I will kill you all." he growled. Riddick left and he was carrying Calandra in his arms. He laid her on his bunk, he didn't know what to do about her. He whispered in her ear.
"I will get you out of here. I will train you to fight harder than you are now. I promise that no man is going take advantage of you. You should never be afraid of anyone or afraid to die. I hope you understand." whispered Riddick.
He clean her up and laid next to her on the floor. He wanted to make sure that no one else bother right now. He realized that she was only a kid. That she would need someone to look after her in this place.
CJ open her eyes and realized that she wasn't at Ziza's house. Aearon was sitting on the bed next to Calandra and Ziza was looking at Calandra as well. All she remember is that she was fighting with a man from the past and then she remembered that Riddick carried her out of the house and into the ship. She tried to focus but she was still groggy from her being unconscious for so long.
"How are you doing?" said the elemental
"My head is killing me, but I think I'm going to be okay. I have to go or they will be coming after Ziza." said Calandra
"You are not going anywhere. Tell me who is after you Calandra?" said Aearon
"I don't understand how he found me but he did after all these years. His name is Marcino, he thinks that Lailjun is my sister and she is the princess of Pantoria. He said that I have something that belongs to him and I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. He said that I was trying to play him like he was stupid. I overheard him say that he's looking for the book of Pantoria, but he gave me the task of finding that book and if I find it that he would set Lailjun free. But if I don't come up with it, he would kill her. I don't remember anything about my past only that I lived with you Aearon. What am I suppose to do, how am I going figure out who I am." said Calandra.
" Let me tell you a little story. It was told that every 100 years that there will be one woman who will become queen by killing the man of dominant race. But as history progressed their enemies were killing them off. This century the necros came a destroyed the rest of their race. Rumors has it that two young children escape and went to different planets for one day they will rise and so will their race and wage war on their enemies. Out of the two children, one of the children is Furyian and Pantorian and has the gift of an elemental and the other one is just a regular Pantorian. Your enemy who is after you now if they same person who killed your parents and tried to destroyed your planet before the Necromongers." said the elemental.
Calandra looked at Elemental with the intent to kill. She looked at Ziza and noticed that she was smiling. Calandra was more confused then ever and she wanted answers and she wanted them now. Ziza walked to the door and called for Riddick. A few seconds later Riddick was there and he notice that something was wrong in this picture. Aearon said the same things to Riddick that she said to Calandra. By the time the elemental was finished Riddick was pacing back and forth.
" Riddick and CJ there is more that there is to tell you both." said Ziza. It was surprising to hear her speak about the situation. She looked at CJ and gave her small smile.
"What to do you know Ziza?" Riddick said softly
"I know that my mother is not the Queen of Pantoria. I know that my mother is mix-bred but not with a strong race. My mother is human and Pantorian. My father was full human and Furyian. I know that my mother and you did not have the same father. To put this in simpler words for you. Calandra, you are the Queen of Pantoria and the reason you don't remember is that the elementals want you leave your life normal. I hope you didn't think that it was by chance that you just stumbled across to the elementals." said Ziza. Everyone even the elemental was surprise at the last statement. Everyone just look at her with confusion.
"Should I continue?" said Ziza.
"Yes." said everyone in that room.
"Calandra, your father was Furyian and your mother as you know was Pantorian. Our people was allies with the Furyians. But the problem with this situation was that neither race wanted to let have blooded of another race, rule another race. They believe it was unethical. The people who was killing your race belong to the man who wanted your mother's hand in marriage was Marcino Wizard Sr. So, one night Marcino went to your mother and asked her hand for marriage, but at the time she loved your father dearly and she told Marcino no. Have you wondered why you are so angry? The reason is for this, you saw Marcino kill your mother and your father killed Marcino Sr. Late that night your father sent you to the elementals and sent my mother to his brother on Hellion Prime. A year later your father was killed by Marcino Jr." said Ziza.
"So you are saying that Imam was my uncle." said Calandra
"Also are you saying that Imam was Furyian too." said Riddick
"So basically the elementals were allies with the Pantorians and Furyians." said the elementals
"Yes, why else no other race bothered the elementals." said Ziza. " Riddick, yes Imam was furyian, why else would you have saved him the way you did." " CJ were are family"
"How do you know all of this stuff?" said Aearon
"I read the book that you will be searching for, it is called the Unknown Past, Present, and Future." said Ziza.
"What should we do?" said Riddick, who at the time speechless.
"Find the book, for you to become the queen you should read and understand and soon you will hear the cries of your people. Go to the planet Earth and get my mother. Finally find Marcino and kick his ass and make things right with the Furyians and Pantorians. Once that is done everything else will come to play. But before all of this is to be done, you both need to put your difference aside because if you don't you both will get yourselves killed. Do you both understand, because to be honest I don't want to have to kick both your asses." said Ziza
Everyone look at Ziza with amazement and didn't know what to say to her. But all of them shook their heads.
"I best to be going. I need to find that book." said Calandra
"No, you need to stay here and rest." said Riddick
" The hell with you, you don't tell me what to do. I said I was going and that's the end of this conversation." said Calandra
"HEY, Let me nip this in the bud, both of you are going to go and find my mother, the book, and Marcino Jr." said Ziza angrily
Calandra rolled her eyes at Riddick. Ziza looked at Calandra and she had enough.
"CJ, you should not be made at him okay, the reason why he left you is because he thought it would be safe for you. It wasn't because you were young. It was because that he had found you very attractive and the furyian in you was pulling it out of him. He didn't want to take out the innocence in you, but you knew that, but you didn't understand that. You need to get a grip and take what is rightfully yours and Riddick will come later." said Ziza angrily.
"How do you know this Ziza? Said Riddick, the elemental started to smile
"CJ is not the only with a gift from an elemental." said Ziza
