Reunion
"We're moving again. They just transmitted a safe route through the minefield." Johns informed as he sat across from Riddick who was strapped to her seat, metal beams locked around her incasing him, while other prisoners and their captors sat freely
"That minefield's offering better odds than you're gonna get takin' me to Butcher Bay…You think Hoxie's memory is that short?" Riddick asked, Johns leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees.
"He gets one look at you, Riddick and all's forgiven. And I bank your bounty plus fifty…"
"…Plus fifty? Now Johns…Greed is an ugly thing"
"You are in no position to negotiate, Riddick" Johns said as he began to feel turbulence just as a female voice came on the intercom
"We'll be landing at Butcher Bay in an…buckle up, turbulence from an incoming sandstorm is expected…Hang on 'til we're through it"
"Oh yeah, I forgot you don't like this part…Statistically, landings are the most dangerous." Riddick said
"You've got nothing left to live for, Riddick. I do. Now shut up, would ya?" Johns answered a bit nervous and annoyed that Riddick knew his phobia
"You're already counting it. Aren't you?"
"I said shut up"
"Your funeral..."
Her red eyes watched silently, her gaze never once wavering from the infamous murderer, red orbs glowing like that of a predator, she was able to sense her animal stirring restlessly and wondered if she could sense hers. She got her answer shortly after as her dark eyes opened turning to hers…
Riddick felt someone's gaze on her; most of the inmates had their heads down riding out the turbulence as she took in her surroundings when she caught a pair of glowing red orbs coming from a hooded figure, though the figure was easily hidden in the shadows of the ship. She could see and sense an animal within.
"Rise and shine" Came Johns voice as he opened the brackets which held Riddick into place
"Come on; don't act like you're asleep. It's time for you to earn me some money" Johns said pointing his gun at her as she stood up slowly,
"you might want to be careful with that, Johns. You could hurt somebody" Riddick said as he led her outside
"Butcher Bay. You know, you always take me to the nicest places, Johns" Riddick added with a nod turning to see a merc stepping out of the ship with his prisoner, the hooded figure with the red glowing eyes turned to her, as Johns shoved her forward
"I hear the food's good as well. Can't say I'm gonna miss you, Riddick"
"Then don't"
At that moment the warden and two guards walked towards them
"Ah…Johns. Looks like that memory's still intact. He don't look all that happy to see you" Riddick said turning to Johns
"Hoxie's a businessman. Now, play nice and we can get this over with quickly" Johns answered, gun still point at Riddick
"Ot's already over Johns"
They stopped to face Hoxie and his guards along with the other merc and his mysterious prisoner
"Secure your weapon Johns"
"Good to see you too, Warden" Johns said with a small laugh
"So, the famous Ms. Riddick" Hoxie said walking up to her
"The Hox…"
"Finally come to stay, eh? Well, as of this moment Butcher Bay owns your ass…I own your ass" Hoxie said
"She's all yours once I sign her over, Hoxie" Johns answered
"You're not going to be a problem are you, Riddick? 'Cause my boys and I like solving problems…my boys will certainly enjoy it" Hoxie said with a slight grin, indicating something else
"Johns said you were ugly up close. For the first time, I gotta agree with him" Riddick answered as Hoxie chuckled
"Hmmm…nice try"
"I do what I can"
"Already trying to get under my skin eh, Riddick?"
"Be easier…If I had something sharp"
"Bounty plus fifty on Riddick. Right, Hoxie?" Johns asked
"I think Riddick about covers what you owe me, Johns"
"There's plenty of other slams I can take Riddick if you can't afford her"
"Alright, alright. Perhaps we can come to a number. But don't push it, Johns. Extra or no, Riddick stays at Butcher Bay. Period! Full stop!" Hoxie answered as he turned to the other merc and prison
"Now who do we have here?" he asked putting his hands behind his back, just as the merc yanked the hood off, catching Riddick by surprise and normally that never happened as she saw a kid no more than thirteen years old,
"You've got to be fucking kidding me…" Johns said as he turned to the merc standing beside her
"Sylvia Deimos…youngest convict to be caught…killed fifty people in one night…sir" the merc said turning to Hoxie
"Makes Riddick here look like a fucking saint…"
"Cute kid" Riddick said
"Yeah why am I not surprised that, that's coming from "Death" herself…"
"Well..well..well, it seems that today is Butcher Bay's lucky day than. Let's get them processed" Hoxie said as they led both prisoners toward the entrance of Butcher Bay
"Johns…Better luck next time" Riddick said over her shoulder as she walked beside the girl, catching her scent which was the sweet smell of cocoanut and pumpkin, locking it in her mind for when she had to track her down
"Prisoners walking!" the head guard named Abbott called out
"Pay attention! You are now Butcher Bay prisoner 5421135-2. Remember your number" Abbott said as Riddick listened to the other guard repeating the same to the young girl only a different number
"Remember the rules. My rules, Now listen, there is no outside at Butcher's, just a whole planet of desert. So check those desires right now, because you will not get out. No one has, no one ever will" Abbott explained as Riddick turned to the girl who gave her a side glance along with a small grin, indicating like her that she was already planning.
The doors to Butcher Bay opened as Abbott and the other guard led them inside. Another guard stood in the center, two signs reading Cellblock A and B with arrows pointing in opposite directions
"Okay, close the gate" Abbott commanded as he led them down the corridor of Cellblock A, stopping at two gates.
"Hey Abbott! When you've dropped the fish into her new tank, we gotta talk. It's 'bout the Aquilas" A guard said grabbing his attention
"Don't worry. I got Rust by the balls. You'll get your share, Cyrus" Abbot answered as the second gate opened, continuing their walk to their cells
"Hey what are you bringing us?"
"Name's Riddick. Thinks her shit don't sink"
"Thee Riddick?" one prisoner said in disbelief
"Get the fuck back to your cell, Jack!" Abbott commanded as other mummers from different prisoners continued, stopping at a cell block, the metal door slid open
"This is your hole. It's time for us to delouse your pretty ass. Don't breathe." Abbott instructed as Riddick walked inside, turning to face them
"Alright princess follow me" Abbott said as the door shut, but not before the girl gave Riddick another smile, giving her a steady gaze with those bright red eyes.
Her favorite color….
'Riddick…" Sylvia greeted
She hadn't seen that face in over five years, never forgetting those almond shaped eyes which had the same mirror effect as her own, becoming silver red pools when she turned her attention to something or someone, it was always her eyes that intrigued her the most, the color of blood…her favorite, though five years ago she was a thirteen year old kid who went through a lot and even stuck her neck out more times than she could count for her, going as far as to risking her own life. A murderer like her didn't deserve that kind of loyalty from anyone, she didn't ask for it nor wanted it; least of all her but still she gave it to her… But her reasons were her own and she left it at that. After the events of Athena they had gone their separate ways, she thought she could easily forget her just like all the others who came across her that didn't meet the end of her shivs, but as the years passed she found herself thinking about her most days.
Her scent was strong, still the same soft fragrance of pumpkin and coconut which caused her to growl as her animal stirred.
Time passed…people changed and now the kid she had allowed herself to care for all those years ago was gone and in her place was a grown woman and this time she didn't see her in the same light. And with her bit of clothing, her thoughts ran south and into more dangerous territory and from the change of her scent she wasn't too far off from thing the same thing about her.
"We need to stop meeting like this Riddick" she said walking over to stand in front of her. She had to crane her neck up because of her tall stature.
"If it were up to me, the circumstance of us meeting again, you would be safe kid"
Sylvia looked up into her goggle covered eyes, how she missed her.
"I'm not that kid anymore Riddick…"
"Run out of clothes?" she asked, as she looked down at her barely there wardrobe, causing another whiff of her scent to her, her nostrils flared taking in her intoxicating smell, that had her animal wanting more
Sylvia could sense her, her beast just beneath her olive skin, she wanted her, she was more beautiful even after the passing years. Her golden blonde hair brushed back in a long braid, the edges braided while the sides were shaved short to her scalp. Her androgynous features were strong and sharp yet held an Angelic beauty. She was just that a beautiful Amazonian, her tall stature was a perfectly built machine for killing. She wanted to run her mouth down every inch of her skin. The black wife-beater showing off defined muscle, full firm breasts she wanted to ravish, arm bracers protecting powerful forearms.
"Long story…and from the looks of it…we won't have time to catch up" Sylvia said crossing her arms
Jack stood gaping at the beautiful young woman, who stood in front of Riddick
"Hey…I-I know you, your Sylvia…youngest convict to ever exist on record…and able to escape Butcher Bay"
Sylvia turned to the kid who stood there not too far from Riddick, noticing the googles and shaved sides, though her hair was too short to mimic Riddick's beautiful entwined braids. Sylvia turned back to face her
"Fan?" she asked
Before Riddick could answer the familiar smell of the woman back at the lab invaded her senses as they both turned around to face the female doctor along with another. Sylvia immediately remembered the bastard from three years ago when she was taken in by that spineless idiot Toombs who captured her…A mistake on her part and one she won't be making again, that's if she got off this damn planet.
Eric was his name, the scientist doc who had conducted all those tests and the wench standing beside him, she remembered her being called Valerie. She for one; wasn't much for being someone's lab rat. For a moment she thought of killing him and his bitch assistant now and save herself the trouble. But something told her that it was going to get a lot more interesting when the suns go down
"Sylvia my dear girl…" the man standing beside the female doctor said as he marveled at her as if she were the most precious important thing there was to ever exist, taking step toward her
"Suggest you keep your distance Doc, not much for playing the lab rat" Sylvia warned giving Riddick a small indication of what really happened to her
"I've brought you clothes" Valerie said holding the black bag out to her. Walking over to the doc Sylvia took the bag from her grasp
"Don't think that this small gesture will have me forget what you did" Sylvia warned as she walked past them to go find a private place to change.
Sylvia never imagined that she would see Riddick again, though she remained in her thoughts and sometimes appearing in her dreams. She wondered if she ever thought about her. She knew though that they had taken a little piece of each other when they parted ways that day.
"You know she was coming didn't you…Shirah? The answer to your riddle" Sylvia asked
"Yes…" came her soft answer as Sylvia shook her head, walking inside a building and finding a room which looked like it was a child's room; Sylvia threw the bag on the bed causing dust to blow up into the air as she ripped the paper sheet off herself. She stood naked as she made a grab for the bag, taking out white lingerie that would have Riddick's approval and a pair of black cargos and black dot baby doll top that had a deep u-shaped cut in front, while the back was open, strings crisscrossed molding the top to her body; it was her style and a good wear in this scorching weather, clipping the belt buckles of her combat boots securely, she than strapped her forearm bracers. Satisfied Sylvia left the room walking back outside into the hot sun; the coolness of the air leaving as the heat showed its ugly head.
Sighing she turned to welcome the others with her presence when she caught the scent of the kid who was a girl pulling off to be a boy as Sylvia scented her cycle was just around the corner.
"You following me?" she asked as she turned to face Jack, who looked a bit nervous
"Um I-I thought you didn't know where we were so …I"
"Making sure I didn't get lost? How sweet" Sylvia said as she approached the kid
"Nice goggle" she added causing the kid to grin happy to know she thought so
"All praises be Allah, for his many blessings to us" Imam said just as Sylvia and Jack entered the room. Jack was the first one to come in grabbing everyone's attention with her new look as she placed her goggles on her head and grabbed a glass of water before looking up to see everyone staring at her while Fry gave her a motherly sort of look
"What?" she said taking a sip
"It's the winner of the look-alike contest" Paris said pointing his finger as Sylvia chose a corner to stand. Though the moment she walked in she felt Riddick's eyes on her among other curious gazes, but it was her that had her bursting up into flames and her animal stirring for attention she'd probably be happy to give if it weren't for the small audience.
"So you're the Geno-morph" Shazza said as Sylvia turned to her than to Valarie and Eric who were sitting in chairs across the room
"Been talking about me? For smart people of science that's not a very smart thing to do…than again you haven't been making the right decisions lately now have you" Sylvia said turning to observe the rest of the faces in the room, stopping when she noticed a make with short wavey red blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Johns…blue-eyed devil…Can't be a party without you and Riddick in the same room huh?" Sylvia said as she turned to Riddick
"I guess we both have a story to tell"
Johns suddenly recognized her as the kid who helped him and Riddick escape Hoxie
"I'll be damned Sylvia" Johns whispered noticing that she grew up into an attractive woman that had his breaches tightening.
Sylvia turned to an elderly holy man as he approached her
"Greetings I am Imam" he introduced, she smiled sensing that he was a kind man and was one with God,
"How did you wind up with these two?" Johns asked
"I could ask the same question…Johns…" Sylvia said turning to the holy man who was apparently looking for someone now; a look of worry on his face as he left the building to search some more
"As much as I love introductions what happened here?" Paris asked the million dollar question
"Nice of them to leave so much stuff here; why they leave their ship?" Fry asked
"It's not a ship. It's a skiff and it's disposable" Johns answered as he turned to both scientists.
"Mind letting in on what went on here?" he asked
"A group of geologists who move from rock to rock, they came here twenty-two years ago and settled here, three years ago we landed here to continue our geno-morph project. One day we were doing our regular routines when everything went to hell and something began attacking the colony, right after an eclipse began. We locked ourselves in the lab and been there ever since" Eric explained
"we sent out help singles but no one answered…" Valerie added but before words were exchanged more on the subject, Imam barged back into the room in a state of panic
"has anyone seen the little one?" Ali?"
"Has anyone checked the coring room" Riddick said giving a hint of where the kid might be, but before they could go search, they heard screaming coming from the very room, immediately everyone was out of their chairs and running out of the building, leaving Sylvia alone with Riddick. Taking the opportunity Riddick approached her placing both hands on each side of her head as she hovered over her
"My curiosity is getting the best of me…how did you get caught by Johns? Last I remember, we disappeared after Dark Athena, leaving him in the dust" Sylvia asked listening to Riddick's low growls as she ran her nose down the length of her neck, taking her scent
"Mate…"
They both heard it, their beasts purred, stirring beneath their skin
"Curiosity…never really a good thing…" she whispered
"And you were some scientists play thing" she added, their lips inches away, Sylvia closed the distance caressing the softness of her lips with hers before stealing a taste, her tongue shooting out and licking her lips, Riddick growled licking her own lips capturing her taste as well.
"When we get out of here…your mine…permanently…"
Riddick felt it, her beasts purring in pleasure ready to mark her, claim her.
But not yet…not yet…
