Upon waking, Kirby rolled over and slid softly off of the bed into a heap of blankets. She giggled

slightly while trying to untangle herself from the mass. Her head poked out of the blankets and she looked

around. Once again the light was on but it was trembling, turning off and flickering every few seconds.

Wondering what was going on, Kirby stood up and as best as she could and staggered towards the door

shaking off blankets as she went. As the door slid open in fornt of her she saw Nikoli standing there. He

pushed her back inside and to the wall where he shushed her quietly.

"Listen, don't go anywhere and don't yell ok?" he whispered looking around like he was going to be gunned

down at any second.

"But what do you want?" she asked blankly.

"I want you to get out of here and leave Riddick's world forever..."

"You just told me not to go..." Nikoli put his finger to her lips and stared around. As he did Riddick opened

the door and stepped in. In one swift movement Nikoli was off of her.

"What's going on?" Riddick asked leaning against the doorframe looking mildly amused.

"Uh...nothing, just...protecting her from falling over, this earthquake is a big one, yes?" Nikoli mumbled

staring at the floor.

Riddick didn't seem to believe him and grinned, "If there's some sort of love affair going on here I'd like to

know about it."

"What the hell are you talking abo..." Kirby shoved Nikoli out of the way and smiled, "Ha, you caught us."

Her tone went to a more serious one, "I was going to tell you honest. I just didn't want Nikoli to get hurt."

"Why would Nikoli get hurt?"asked Riddick raising an eyebrow.

"Uh...I really don't know, maybe I should think before I act huh?"

"Maybe," said Riddick looking a bit bewildered and turning to go. "Nikoli, I need you downstairs

immediately, we have to talk."

Kirby looked over at him helplessly.

"Ah, I've got to wrap this up real quick and I'll be down in a second." he mumbled feebly.

Riddick nodded and closed the door behind him.

"What are you going to do?" asked Kirby getting up in Nikoli's face.

"YOU are going down to the docking station and leaving right this moment." he said throwing a bag he had

grabbed from under her bed and tossing it to her.

"Why?"

"Because, Riddick is going to kill you. That's why."

"What do you mean?"

"What don't you understand, he is going to KILL Y...O...U!"

"BUT WHY"

"I can't tell you."

"Why"

"Stop asking questions lets go." he said hoisting the bag up and leading her to the door by hand.

Kirby looked at him apprehensively, "What's going to happen to you?"

"Nothing if you go now, he won't know." With that Nikoli shoved her out of the door and she was on her

way to the docks.
