Dark Covers All: Chapter 8:
"Alight we got a blow torch two hand lights and there is gotta be something we can rip out of the crash ship" Fry said.
"Spirits. Anything over 45 proof burns rather well." Paris suggested to Fry.
"How may bottles do you got?"
"I don't know. Maybe ten."
"Okay. Johns you got some flares. So maybe we got enough light." Fry stated as she looked at Johns.
"Enough light for fuckin' what?" Johns asked.
"We stick to the plan. We get the four cells back to the skiff."
"I hate to ruin a beautiful plan with an ugly fact, but the sand cat is Solar." Paris injected into the conversation.
While they were arguing about what was going on Jack came over and sat next to Shinku who was now visibly shaking. Jack looked at Shinku eyes and noticed that they seemed to have no life in them.
"Shinku? Are you alright?" Jack asked worriedly.
Shinku looked at Jack, but this time she had life back into her eyes however she was still shaking.
"I am fine Jack I just hate being confined into small spaces."
"Why?"
"Because for some odd reason if I am not doing something I will wind up killing someone call it blood lust if you will."
"Blood Lust?"
"It's a need to cause someone pain for me when my blood lust is active that means my more primal side is getting antsy and trust me Jack if I don't kill something soon the next person that pisses me off will have there arms ripped off." Shinku explained as Jack began to notice Shinku's eyes dilating.
Soon the conversation switched to Jack when she asked in a scared tone why they would have to go out there. Shinku was having a tough time putting her blood lust on a leash. So while the others weren't looking she slipped into the shadows and went outside the storage area. There the larger creatures stood there waiting for Shinku to make a move. Shinku had took off her jacket and left it beside Jack along with Ares who was perched on Riddick's' shoulder.
Shinku then allowed her self to indulge in the blood lust that was now stronger than ever. Shinku eyes then turned back to the way that Jack saw them lifeless and suddenly a grin appeared on her face. The grim was not one that normal people would wear when they were happy, but one that people that had no sanity and no humanity wore. Shinku then ran toward them at inhuman speeds suddenly she was in front of one of the creatures.
She tore off it's head before heading to the next one and appearing behind it lifting her right hand she impaled the creature from behind and twisted her palm upward before with drawing it from the creatures stomach. The creatures then began to surround Shinku as the blood of her first two blood lust splattered on her face and body. Shinkus' grin grew wider at the number of enemies that were surrounding her.
Shinkus' body began to shake with the thought of spilling all her enemies' blood.
(Inside Storage)
They all had agreed on a plan when Shazza noticed that Shinku was gone.
"Hey were did Shinku go?" Shazza asked.
"Riddick can you see her in the dark?" Fry asked.
Riddick then removed his goggles and saw no sign of Shinku, but suddenly there was a loud thump on the outside of the container.
"What was that?" Paris asked fearfully.
"I think it is time to move know. I am sure she's fine considering the fact that she killed 4 million Necros." Johns suggested.
Suddenly everyone heard a female voice laughing loudly and insanely everyone began to look for the source of the laughing. That was they realized that the laughing was Shinku's and that it was coming outside the container.
(Outside)
Shinku had begun laughing as she continued to kill the creatures that came at her only to be impaled by her shadows. Shinku stood in the middle of the gory scene with a smile on her face. Shinku charged at the next ten creatures ripping their bodies apart with her bare hands. Shinku continued to laugh as the body parts fell around her and as the blood of her enemies saturated her body.
Her hair was loose and matted to her face to the point that it looked like she bathed in their blood. As one of the creatures went to bit her Shinku grabbed it by the side of its mouth and began to rip its mouth apart as she watched it lay dying she smiled and began to hum her favorite lullaby. Shinku the began to attack the others in the same manner on this time she produced black spear and appeared behind the creature before impaling it like Vlad the Impaler.
Shinku never noticed the door that was opening up from the container as she continued her onslaught on the creatures. Fry was the first one to step out and look around soon every one else followed and as they arrived at the entrance of the wreckage when Fry asked," Do you see Shinku or anything?"
"Looks clear." Riddick replied.
Soon Johns was headed toward the front when suddenly a creature came from the wreckage.
"You said it was clear!" Johns said as he laid on his back.
"I said it looks clear." Riddick replied laying on his stomach.
"Well how did does it look now?"
"Looks clear." Riddick replied.
"Wait there is something heading toward us." Jack said looking at what appeared to be an outline of a person.
Riddick then walked up next to Jack before removing his goggles and what he saw amazed and slightly disturbed him. He saw Shinku facing them surrounded be dead creatures some where ripped apart and a whole lot of them were impaled as if they were nothing, but rag dolls not only that Shinku had they look of someone who was mentally insane. However Riddick picked up a slight lingering sent of blood lust from her.
"Who is it Riddick?" Fry asked as she appeared next to him.
"Shinku…there is something wrong with her." Riddick replied when he suddenly began to tense as Shinku began to walk toward them. As soon as Shinku was a foot away from where Fry, Riddick, and Jack were she tilted her head slightly. And the insanity that filled her eyes was now gone.
"What is wrong?" Shinku asked before looking at her hands she then turned and looked at the dead decomposing bodies of the creatures she decimated.
"Great…it happened again." Shinku murmured to herself however Riddick heard her and decided to question her about it later. Shinku walked into the light and everyone gasped at her condition. She was covered with blood some of it was hers while most of it was the creatures.
"The Hell happened to you?" Johns asked with disgust evident in his voice.
"Let's just say that the creatures will have plenty to eat for now." Shinku replied coldly before heading into the wreckage as soon as they entered Shazza explained what was going too happened and so Shinku helped everyone with the lights.
Riddick was telling everyone," I want the light on my back not my eyes. Take care of your cuts the bad boys know are blood."
Shinku noticed that Jack seemed to tense at those very words so Shinku quietly went up next to Jack and said," Jack…I know."
Jack looked at her in surprise and had a scared face on.
"I won't let them hurt you or any of the boys. They know I am a predator not to be trifled with. I want you to stay close to me alright." Shinku said as she saw Jack smile before nodding. As Shinku headed toward the back Shinku felt a hand on her arm. Shinku turned to see that Riddick had followed her.
"What?" Shinku asked looking down and away from Riddick; however he grabbed Shinku by the chin and made her look at him.
"What did you mean by again?" He asked.
"It happened two times before this: Once while I was on the Ishimura and the other while I was fighting the Necromongers."
"If you EVER disappear like that I will bend you over my knee and spank the shit out of you got it." Riddick growled taking off his goggles and looking at her before grabbing her blood filled hair and pressing his lips against hers in a fierce kiss. Riddick then pulled away and headed back to the others.
Ares then landed on Shinku's shoulder and screeched slightly and nuzzled her cheek. Shinku smiled before kissing him on the cheek and headed to join the others.
