Chapter 10: The Awakening
The next day Riddick found himself on the floor and he got and cracked his neck. He look at Calandra noticed that she took a whole different look. She had black and gold in her hair. He noticed her k-nines were a little longer when she is Shadow.
"Shadow?" he whispered as she open her eyes he noticed dark hazel with no glow.
"My young prince, you still have a lot to learn about your future. You look just like husband, you better to take care of my daughter. I don't want to have to kill you, young Furyian. I see you are an Alpha Male, most interesting." she said
Riddick sniffed the air and back away from the bed. He gave a low growl and went to animal mode.
"Easy big fella, you don't want to attack me. Do you?" she said, as soon she said that she went on the defensive while Riddick went on the attack. She made sure she had perfect balance on the bed. Riddick attack her with full force, but with on swift move he found himself against the bedpost with a hand on his throat.
"Do you always attack before you ask questions?" she questioned. " How dare you attack my daughter's body with the old queen mind? You are just like that damn husband of mine. You know that."
"Where are they?" he said
"Who?"
"Calandra and Shadow."
"They are here, and I will let them out when I take care of some business. They are one now."
"Why are you here?"
" Because there is a traitor among you. Only two people will see me in Calandra is you and Sarah. Don't say a word okay." she said and still she never left the grip off of Riddick. But after staring in his eyes, she let him go.
"I see why she love you so much." she said as she walked inside the closet and put some clothes on. "Once I take care of this business I will leave. The next time you will see me, you will see me in a ghost like figure watching my daughter defeat her enemies and getting the crown."
She opens the door and walked outside to the dining area leaving Riddick out cold in the bedroom. She saw Sarah and quickly to put her fingers to her lips. Sarah eyes got as wide as the apples. It seems like Calandra glided over to Sarah, she put her fingers over Sarah's face like a circle and Sarah was as quiet a mouse and calm like nothing happen. The Elder saw Calandra and walked up to her. Calandra grabbed the Elder by the throat and force him down to the ground.
"TRAITOR!" she growled as she threw him across the room.
"Calandra, what are you talking about?" cried out the Elder, Patrick went towards Calandra but Sarah pushed him to the wall and gave him a look that he didn't move any further.
"Don't play coy with me, you set me up to get killed and then you did it again to Riddick's father."
"Calandra, where are you getting these weird assumptions from?" he said, Calandra jumped over the table and landed on the Elder with her hand on his throat.
"Look at me Father, does it look like I'm my daughter."
"Dear God."
"Oh, you are going to need him."
"How long did you work for Marcino Sr. and now you work for his son?"
"I'm sorry Amy, I'm really am. He was threatening me and our family, what was I suppose to do?"
"You suppose to come to me as your queen I would have dealt with this situation."
"But at the time you were giving birth to Calandra and I knew she needed you to watch over her. I knew that she was the next queen. It was all about the politics. He didn't want to Calandra and the young prince to get involved and he wanted her and Jr. to be together. That's why he sent the Necros to Furya. Marcino is a Necro and at the time he was Lord Marshall."
"What happen next?"
"Necros went through Furya like white on rice. There was a foretelling that the prince was still alive, but I didn't tell Marcino that I swear. After Marcino Sr. was killed, Jr. found out the truth and he sent the Necros to Hellion Prime and told them to attack them. The foretelling came true and the young prince became Lord Marshall of Hellion Prime Necromongers. Marcino Jr. has been trying to keep them apart since he founded out that she had name tattoo on her body. I was trying to make things right, until made your sister into a Necromonger, her name is Davana. But I think they call her Dame Vaako now."
"Who is the prince and is he still alive?"
"Yes."
"Who is he and where is he?"
"He right here on this ship and his name is Richard B. Riddick"
"I really could shit on myself." Said Jack
"You are not the only one." said Patrick
"Tie him up and give to the Pantorian Authorities when you get there, don't tell Calandra anything she must figure this out on her own. Don't tell Riddick because it would make him feel obligated to be with her and I don't want that I need them to fall in love on their own." she said, at that moment Calandra body hit the floor.
An hour later… Calandra woke up wanting Riddick next to her, but only finding herself alone. She realize that she been out in space for a month and yet had not heard nothing from Laijjun. She looked at the book and noticed there was some empty pages where she is suppose to begin her journey. There is a lot of things going through here mind, but all she that in a week she would be on the planet where she knew that she would have to get acquainted with the people there. She got out of the bed and heard some voices. She put on some fighting clothes and went down to the exercise room. Jack and Riddick were sitting in the kitchen and Sarah and Patrick was in their bedroom. She noticed that the Elder was tied up and for some reason she didn't asked why. Meanwhile, Riddick and Jack were having a deep conversation about Calandra and him.
"Jack, it's getting late. You need to get some sleep" said Riddick
"Don't try to change the subject Riddick." said Jack " You are afraid to love her as much as she afraid to love you, but didn't you tell me she said that she will give it her all for you."
"Yes Jack, but it is not that simple."
"You and her are making it hard on yourselves."
"When did you get so interested in Calandra and I?"
"When you started being an ass about how you feel about her. At first I thought it was lust, but after what Sarah told me I knew you two were holding each other back. Because number one, you believe she is that same girl you met six years ago. And she believes that everything was a fairytale because you left her."
"Jack… I"
"Answer this, do you love her?"
"Yes."
" Then show her tonight, because I'm going to bed and you better not be in there with me until you have made everything right."
Jack left the room leaving Riddick to his thoughts. Ten minutes later, he got up and went to the exercising room. He noticed that Calandra was in a black tank top and some black spandex shorts. There was sweat all over her body that made her more sexy and interesting. Riddick finally realize that he wanted to be with Calandra and he had to make her realize it too. Calandra noticed that Riddick was holding the bag and yet she noticed his mind wasn't there, so she decided to make sure. She threw a kick to him and he blocked it. She did a back flip to get herself some more room. They went back and forth with throwing punches and kicks. It was about an hour later when Calandra called it quits. She left the room and went to take a shower and Riddick did the same.
