Disclaimer: I don't own Pitch Black or any characters in it. I only own Nyra. I also don't own anything borrowed from Hellsing or Blade.
Blaze: Just a quick note saying that this is based of the Pitch Black book/ movie but it does not always follow either, some scenes will be left out or changed, as well as have some scenes added. Sorry for any confusion.
Reminder: R/R people thanks!
Summary: A young vampire escapes torture only to end up in a crash on a planet with a dark secret. In the process she finds the one person who truly understands her, someone who understands that she is not like the others of her kind in more ways than one.

I think that about covers it…yup okay on with the story!
Secrets in the Dark
To be marked by society isn't an accomplishment, or so everyone says. There are citizens, scum, outsiders, outlaws, mercenaries, convicts. You're marked by what they see you as, by what you do, or what you have done. Me? I'm marked an outsider, a freak. Just because of what I am. Although you meet a merc, ask them and they'll respond with "Just another convict, another damn good payday!"
I won't lie I'm not innocent. I've taken lives, plenty as far as the law is concerned, but I've only killed for survival, only if I had no other choice, except for the select few who deserved it, but usually only if I had to. Like that matters, I've been marked an animal, a beast that can't be tamed, and I've always known myself as that. I never had anyone and believed I never would. I was alone in the world with no family and no memories of where I came from. I've always kept to myself until I met him. My name is Nyra. This is the story how I found someone who really understood me.
Pain
It was all she felt.
Searing white agonizing pain scorched through her nerves keeping her blinded. She screamed in agony, her throat tight. She would not give up, she would stay awake. Yet the growing darkness was welcoming her into a world of happiness, but she knew it would not last, she would wake up back in her room waiting for her next session. Pushing herself away from the unconsciousness creeping around her brain, she felt it tighten around her demonic mind. Its comforting clutches trying to bring her out the pain she was experiencing. She ignored its presence as the pain started to subside. She was used to this by now, it wasn't anything new. She could now here voices, they were faint even with her enhanced senses and she pulled her mind out of the blackness engulfing it focusing on the pitches of their vocal chords.
She grimaced as another wave of pain spread through her aching body sending violent shivers through it. She was becoming fully conscious by the end of the "testing" as they called it. 'More like torture' she thought grimly. She blinked a couple times clearing her blurred vision her pupils shrinking at the light that flooded in from over her. They turned to slits at the voice she heard next to her.
"Very good Number 666, you seem to be able to stay mostly conscious during the procedures. You're definitely improving, so will have to up the testing levels, just to see how much you can handle!" the scientist known as Dr. Viper sneered.
He then laughed along with the other scientists. It was like the hissing of a snake, a loud sound of a balloon losing air, and it got annoying after awhile. It just showed that his name fit him. He had greasy hair slicked back, its color a deep brown that stuck up in the back. His face was pointed with a large nose that stuck up slightly at the end. His chin was curved at an odd angle giving him the appearance of an evil scientist. He was basically just that, an annoying, genius whose point in life was to make the world a better place by torturing experiments and using them for testing. His latest test project had been brought to him from a dark world somewhere in the Kecklon galaxy, not much of it was explored or inhabited, a young creature of the dark was found among the dead bodies of three explorers. It was brought back for testing and was to be kept under security for all times for they knew it was dangerous, they believe it had killed the three explorers and would harm any being too near it when it was not restrained.
The old scientist looked down at the said creature that lay there glaring at him. She growled, her pupils, slits, and she bared her teeth hissing slightly. Then she struggled in vain at the silver bindings that held her in place, burning her wrists and ankles as she did so. Only when the pain became too unbearable did she stop herself and lay there quietly seething. The scientists only laughed harder at her feeble attempts to escape. They failed to notice a change in her body that said she was getting restless about something that was soon to happen. They did not even start to expect that she was planning her escape from the lab as she was held there, fastened to a cold metal table, an angry scowl on her face, and a pained look in her eyes. When they looked at her they didn't even see the glint of hope that sparked in her blood red eyes.
The one known as 666 sat in her dark cell plotting many things, one of which was her captors' demise. She carefully went over every detail of her escape to free herself from this twisted place where she was held captive. She glared at the door as she went over the plan in her mind. The lights were off as usual, but before long they would be switched to full light like every other time she was fed. They did that to irritate her and try and catch her off guard 'Yeah like that would happen!' Her "room" was simply furnished, a computer that was monitored, the walls a dark blue almost black, a speaker next to the door. A vid screen was displayed in the corner of the room, not that there was any channel but a two way phone-viewer (sry I wasn't sure what it was called, you know the video screen where people talk to each other).
The only unusual item that lay in the dark room besides a lone chair was a coffin that sat in the shadows of the living quarters; a midnight black coffin with hand-carved symbols across the sides, its symbols having an unknown meaning, lying alone and mysterious among the other furniture. A red moon lay carved at the bottom of the lid, while at the top a silver cross had been engraved. Inside was silk lining, blood red, cushioned so the "bed" wasn't stiff, with more cushions at the top for a pillow.
A teenage girl sat on the lone wooden chair, her red eyes shining in the darkness, full of deep thought and concentration. She wore a black tank top, silver cross necklace dangling over her chest, and a loose pair of army pants (or maybe its cargo pants…what Riddick's wears, except in camouflage color). On the back of her chair hung a large hooded cloak that covered her body when in use (The cape Riddick uses to "hide his identity" in CoR…if that helps any…). Her light blonde hair had red highlights through it and was tied back in a ponytail that hung limply behind he at mid shoulder length. No fat was found on her body, only muscle of hardcore training, making her form look formidable. Her figure was strong, lean, and curved. She held a fierce glare and her voice icy and dripping with venom. She sat in an air of defiance that said "Try me, if you dare!" Her boots tapped quietly on the hard marble floor, as she waited patiently for part 1 of her plan to arrive.
To be continued….
Blaze: Cliffhanger! I personally hate them, but it worked well for my fic…I know I haven't updated in awhile, but I've been busy. Read my profile note to get more details on that and stop saying that I really need to update (this is for the select few of authors who are annoyed because I haven't updated in so long). I know I said I would update as soon as I can but I only signed up with as a hobbie of writing, so I do it in my spare time!
This is what I haven't had much of in awhile so please be patient for me to update…As for my loyal reviewers, Thank You so much for staying with me! I greatly appreciate the loyalty of you guys and find it very encouraging! I will try to update my other fic soon, but like I said I only get to my fics in my free time so it might not be for awhile…
Anyway I hope you liked this first chapter, I will update soon with the second, probably after Saiyan Secrets Revealed is updated, so until then…Happy Holidays!R/R!
Luv ya!
