Chapter 3! Ahhhh…To RatedRGirl83, WolfenIvy, and Amanda, Thanks guys! You are my reasons for writing so often! \,,/ ^^ \,,/ rock on!
At first I only felt pain. Searing pain in my muscles, and for some odd reason my stomach and back of my head. Once again, everything came rushing back and I tried bolting up. I scanned around me, and found myself alone tied to a tree. What the hell was it with goddamned trees!
Then I felt terrified. Riddick kidnapped me, but protected me, these people; I think they want to get back at him. So they wouldn't mind stooping to low levels to get even with him, which involved killing or hurting me. Fuck.
"Hey, the princess who can throw a punch is awake." The man who punched me came around the tree smirking. Riddick smirked, but his was hot. I stopped there. Did I just call Riddick hot? Shit balls…I did…
"This princess is gonna kick yer ass!" I shouted at him. My threat fell on deaf ears. He wasn't scared of me. Why should he be? I only got lucky with the dumb blonde who wants Riddick.
"When's Riddick gettin here?" And there she was. Her nose healed, or something. Looking like I never even hit her.
"Ugh, you are so ugly, he'd never ever do anything with you! He likes at least somewhat pretty girls, without a muffin top!" I don't know what came over me to say that, but this chick just pissed me off.
She stared at me wide eyed. "What did you say you little bitch?" She demanded, grabbing my chin making me look up at her.
"Damn, your uglier up close, and your breath stinks. Back off whore." Maybe if I provoked her, she'd kill me. At the moment, that didn't sound so bad.
"Sydney." Riddick's deep voice sounded almost in my ear. I shivered. Had he been here the whole time?
Suddenly, the bitch holding my chin, slapped me and made my head knock against the tree. I snapped my head towards the bitch and saw her back up.
"Ugh! Fucking bitch!" I groaned. Suddenly, Riddick was right in front of me, back facing me. He honestly, looked like a god.
"How many times have I told people not to touch what isn't theirs?" I could hear the control in his voice breaking. Somehow them taking me and then her hitting me, pissed him off I guess.
"Riddick…" I breathed. I was actually very happy to see him. He still had some s'plainin to do, but I knew, deep down, he wouldn't hurt me, nor let other people hurt me, if I didn't do anything stupid like run off…
He turned slightly and smirked. "Got yourself into a nasty sit, huh Syd?" The nickname made my body burn. All I could do was nod.
Suddenly, the man lunged at Riddick. I watched in awe. Riddick is a badass. He was lethal, and graceful, and beautiful at the same time. He took out the man quickly, and turned to the nasty blonde.
"Hey baby. Wanna play?" Riddick nodded, and sliced her throat.
I gasped and felt tears sting my eyes then overflow. He killed her! He KILLED her! She was dead. Riddick turned back to me and I saw his expression change.
"Ammie." A girl about my age came out from behind a tree. "Untie her. Bring her back to camp." I had an urge to run, when Riddick faced me and looked into my eyes, it died.
"No." I murmured. "Riddick…you untie me…" I don't know why I said it. I don't know what my body was doing, but slowly my mind started catching up.
The girl stopped and Riddick looked at me, his metallic eyes speaking for him.
"You came to save me, right?" He slowly nodded. "Finish the job. Show me I can trust you." I demanded.
He smirked. "Okay." He said and advanced on me.
All I could smell was Riddick as he leaned into me, and wrapped his ripped arms around the tree and cut whatever was around my wrists.
I didn't move as he leaned back, but still held my gaze. Finally, I smiled. He looked shocked then smirked.
"Take me to my mother." I commanded, the smiled still in place.
"She's wants what?" Jill demanded Riddick.
"To see her mother, to see if I'm lying. I won't let her mother hurt her." I practically heard Riddick's smirk.
"I don't give a rat's ass bout the little girl!" Jill snapped. "What if you get in trouble?"
Riddick killed for me. He was already in trouble. I thought about the blonde and him slicing her throat, I shuttered.
Suddenly, Riddick's arm was around my throat, and pulling me, backwards might I add, into the tent he was in with Jill. "Ugh, hey, Riddick!" I stumbled into the room, and got a nasty glare from Jill. She didn't like me. And I didn't know why. I stopped and looked around. "Hey, Riddick…where's Brian?"
He looked at me intensely. "We let him get away."
My eyes widened. "You told me…"
"Yeah, I did. I just wanted to toy with you." He smirked.
"You ass!" But I still laughed anyway. I was getting rather comfortable around these people now, as odd as it is.
"I'll take you to see your mother." Riddick said finally.
The smile was wiped from my face. "Okay…when do we leave?" I asked, trying to understand my feelings about this.
"Now. I want to be back before nightfall." And we were out of the tent.
