Chapter 8

Riddick realized she was gone and headed back to the ship. Anger consumed him and sweat beads ran down his face. The sun was

bright and hot. People crowded around Riddick making it hard to even get to his dock. Finally he made it to his ship and thought about

Melany and Nikoli. 'I'll be back for them' he thought as he powered up the ship. It roared to life and he plotted a course according to the

ship with her on it. Then he hacked into the ships database to see where they were going. The ship started lifting up and he put it on

autopilot. His mind debated if he should go into cyrosleep. He decided against it thinking that if something went wrong Kirby would be

dead for sure.

Kirby was thrown into a room filled with pillows made of a purple velvet and blankets that seemed to glisten in the prosthetic light. The

ship ride had been long and she was relieved to have gotten off of it. They had given her to some older looking ladies who dressed her

like a gypsy and then the guards had come and taken her here. A muffled sound distracted Kirby from her thoughts. It came from the

corner of the room. Her brow furrowed and she walked lightly over to a heap of pillows and blankets. It moved and a girls head popped

out. She had short brown hair with bright green eyes that seemed like they hadnt been happy in years.

"Go away." the girl stated and pulled herself back under the blankets.

Kirby rolled her eyes. "It's not like I can saunter over to the door and say , 'Hey guards let me out this girl doesn't want me in here.' "

There was no reply. She went over and sat down in a fluff of pillows and pulled a few blankets over her.

' I really do hope you come this time Riddick.' she thought curling up into a ball. Kirby felt like she was getting somewhat attached to him.

'No Kirby, you can't do that. Men are bad. People are bad. You can't trust them.' her conscious told her. ' I don't think I can help it. He's

actually caring. Well...In a way. Then again, I don't know his motives still. ' Kirby closed her eyes slowly and fell into a sleeping state.

It had only seemed like a few minutes before Kirby was woken up rudely by a guard shaking her. He grabbed her by the arm and led her

out into the hallway. It was a gold sheet type of paint with draping cloth from the ceilings. There was a red border and a tall door

embroidered with carvings that was a dark purple color. When that door opened she saw men sitting in chairs that were made of silk.

They looked like recliners but more comfy. At the far end of the hall sat a man on a different chair that was more of a couch. He was very

regal looking and had jewelry and fine clothes on.

"See that man up there?" the guard asked pointing at the guy Kirby was staring at.

She nodded fearfully. Kirby realized where she was.

"Go to him."

Her feet did as the guard told the mto but Kirby tried to stop them. 'This cannot be happening. A harem? I don't know what I'll do if he

demands...' She pushed the thought away. It disgusted her too much. Kirby walked up to him calmly.

"Sit." he said. She did as was told. "Did the guard tell you my name?" he asked with an accent.

She shook her head no and shifted her body uncomfortably on the couch.

"Rajieh."

"Kir..." he cut her off with clicking of his teeth.

"Don't worry about your old name. You will soon forget it. For now its Sahirah."

She blinked. "Now do what you are supposed to." He said blissfully.

"What am I..."

"Please me." Rajieh said.

Kirby frowned sadly and scooted closer to him. She started giving him a back rub and he seemed to like it. In fact he liked it so much

that about 15 minutes later he demanded she take his shirt off. Kirby did this but he started barking at her about she wasn't doing it

sexually enough.

"I'm feeling quite sick...sir..." she lied.

He shoved her off of him. " Well then off you go." then he summoned someone else.

Kirby made her way to the bathroom and slipped inside. No one was there so she rinsed her face off quickly.

When she looked in the mirror she felt ashamed. How could she let people do this to her. It was her body and she should do what she

wanted with it. Depression overwhelmed her. Kirby didn't want to be here at all. She wished she hadn't of traveled with Riddick. What if

she had been more closer to him in the crowd earlier this morning. Then maybe he could've grabbed her and saved her. Oh would she be

grateful for that right now. Her eyes became watery. "You've been such a cry baby since Riddick came into the picture." she said out

loud to herself. Kirby had a sudden idea and smashed her head into the mirror. She figured it would give her a few days off. When

walking out the door a guard noticed her head and grabbed her away before anyone else could see. Her hypothesis was right. She got a

few days off. But for the next 45 days she suffered the discomfort of living in this hell hole. Kirby seemed to get more and more gaunt as

the time went on...

Where was he...

Ok guys. I'm gonna start making a requirement. Last chapter I didn't get any reviews. Don't get me wrong I'm not one to beg for these things.
