Hello again. I know my Riddick isn't exactly the Riddick from the movie, but that's not how I intend him to be. I hope you guys will give me a chance and read on! Please review!
(Have you seen the third movie? I did and I loved it! )
Enjoy!
Her body was hurting all over when Brianna opened her eyes. She almost didn't believe it, but she had fallen asleep on her uncomfortable spot on the hard, cold floor.
Rubbing her eyes she quickly looked around to see where Riddick was. She noticed the bed was empty, and no sounds where to be heard anywhere in the cave. She was not sure how to feel about the man.
He saved her life, and then told her he owned her for it. She didn't liked the idea to be at his complete mercy. And she was planning on leaving him soon.
But she also realised she was alone here. She had almost died being by herself on this island, without shelter, food and water. She sighed. This was not how she had planned her life.
Brianna moved a little and winced when she felt all of her muscles protest. Still she slowly got to her feet, stretching her body.
She expected him to just come out of the shadows to mock her, but he was nowhere to be seen. Brianna wondered around the cave, skipping the bed since she already had seen that. But she made her way over to the other side of the cave, hearing water. She was dumbfounded and slowly approached the sound.
It was a large, deep cave. The fireplace lit up most of the spots, just not in the back of the cage. Brianna walked until she could go no further, hearing the water, but not able to see where it came from. She sighed.
She then heard some noise behind her, like a rock being moved. And when she turned, she saw it was true. A piece of the wall was being moved. She saw two hands pull it aside, before Riddick came in and closed it the same way. She swallowed. She would never be able to do that herself.
She saw how he turned and let his eyes roam the cave to spot her. When he did not saw her on her spot on the floor he quickly scanned the rest of the cave.
"Ah, Good morning Brianna", he said when his eyes met hers. Brianna just nodded and took a step back.
She saw him grin and approach her slowly.
"Slept well?", he asked her, his voice betraying how amusing he found it.
"Amazing", Brianna answered with a sneer. It shocked herself, but she had already said it.
She watched how he placed some things in the corner of the cave on a table. She could not see much for he was standing before the table, his back towards her.
"Are you really going to keep me here?", she asked. She cursed herself for how terrified her voice sounded. She was sure he had noticed it too. He slowly turned and made his way over to her.
"Yes, I am. You know the first reason, I mentioned it last night. The second one is that you are on a planet with not humans… only me. How did you plan on surviving all by yourself. Last time I checked, you weren't doing so great. And the last reason is that I am alone, have been for two years. That's a long time without any company. And being the fine company that you are, you're staying here, with me."
Brianna's eyes grew wide when he told her all of this. And she hated to admit it, but he was right. She wouldn't survive alone out there.
"Fine then", her small voice answered. She could see him grin, and knew he had won again.
Riddick cocked his head to the side and watched her walk further into the cave, taking in her surroundings.
"Any chance for me to wash up?", she asked him. She was glad for the great amount of space that was between the both of them.
He took a few seconds before he answered her.
"That depends, can you swim?", he asked her with a wide grin.
Brianna nodded, seeing how his grin turned into an expression unknown to her. He let his eyes roam her body before he motioned for her to follow him.
Slowly, and keeping distance, Brianna followed him towards the darkest corner of the cave, seeing how there was another path. She wondered how he could even see where he was going, but then remembered his eyes, glancing like silver.
When the sound of water became really loud, Brianna stopped. She could not see where she was going and she could also not tell where Riddick had gone.
Suddenly an iron hand took grip on her right arm, leading her forward.
"Almost there", she heard his dark voice whisper. She shivered and followed him. It was a longer walk then she had expected, for the sound of water was so loud. But then they arrived at a little lake. There was a small opening in the roof, so there was light, only just a little though.
"You wash here?", Brianna asked him softly, glad he finally let go of her arm.
Riddick grinned again, understanding why she was asking this.
"Yes, this underground pool pas no fish or other living creatures in it, so you should be safe", he told her.
Brianna swallowed, for that had not been her concern, she wondered if he would leave now, so she could wash herself alone.
"Okay, so are you going to leave now?", she asked, when he kept glancing at her, not moving at all.
He laughed hard. Brianna swallowed. She had acted brave on her part, but she was near her breaking point now.
"Fine, I'll leave, just remember how to keep your head above the surface for I will not be returning to save you now", he mocked her, turning and leaving her alone.
Brianna sighed in relief and waited a few minutes before she slowly took her clothes of and made her way into the water. It was cold, but not salty like the sea. It felt good, refreshing. She slowly walked in further, until her whole body was being surrounded by the cool water. She even leaned back and wetted her hair. The surface she was walking on was a solid stone ground, not slippery like she had expected from a cave pool.
"Not that I ever have been in one", she softly told herself. She was totally unbeknownst of the silver eyes, following her every move.
Riddick had walked back, like he told her. Yes he had. Only not all the way though. He was standing in the dark part of the cave side. While his body was covered in the dark, his eyes were able to see her, all of her. He had to admit, she was a goddess. Maybe just because he had not seen another human being for all these years. And then she was a woman too. And such a beautiful one at that too.
He felt his need grown, almost painfully so. He had decided to keep her by his side. Even the great Riddick could not live alone his entire life. He had needs. And not only for conversation.
Firstly he had thought she would only ruin his solitude and life here. Now he thought she could become a nice distraction and maybe even a mate. He wondered in what sorts though.
He licked his lips when he saw how she undressed herself and walked into the water. It took all of his control to remain in his spot and not making any sound in approval. She covered herself in the water, even wetting her long red locks. He hated to admit it, but he already liked her hair more then he should. He wondered why though.
She took her time in the water, rinsing her hair out and then washing herself some more. Riddick decided it was time for the games to begin. There was no choice for her after all.
Brianna finally felt clean after rinsing her hair out for the third time. It was then she realised she had no clean clothes to turn into. she loathed the idea to pull her old attire on again, but it would just have to do for now. It was when she was walking out of the water, she saw his silver eyes watching her.
She stopped in her tracks, covering her breasts that were just visible now.
"Here I was, lying on my bed. Wondering what you would wear when you would finish cleaning yourself", he told her. His voice was dark and completely filled with amusement, Brianne heard.
"My clothes are fine, I'll wash them some other time", Brianna answered him. Riddick laughed.
"Not in my home, you're not. No I have something better", he said, placing something red onto a rock on the side of the wall. Brianna could not see it clear but it had to be some kind of dress.
"Thank you", she told him, still not moving an inch.
Riddick, again, cocked his head to the side and stood there, watching her. He enjoyed how he could make her nervous. He could smell the fear building.
"Are going to keep standing there all day?", she asked him with a sneer. Riddick laughed some more.
"It's my cave, can do anything I want really."
Brianna's eyes grew wide and she took a few steps back into the water. She didn't liked his tone, but she was also feeling too scared to give him another smart remark.
Riddick knew this could take a while and he had no interest in standing there all day. No he would play this his way.
"Well, as lovely as you are naked, get dressed, and meet me back there", he said pointing towards the path they had just walked.
"We'll get more acquainted there", his dark voice whispered before he left. Brianna shivered, and not from the cold water. She had felt the tension between the two of them and she wondered how long it could remain before he would just do as he pleased.
She walked out, her eyes still glued on the spot he had been standing in a few minutes before. She dried herself with her old clothes, before making her way over to the red piece of clothing.
She had been right it was a dress. It was soft, like silk. The sleeved where short, but to her big relieve, the dress itself was pretty long, falling to her ankles. She pulled it over her head adjusting it so she suddenly felt more comfortable then she had in a long time since stranding here.
Taking a deep breath, Brianna walked the path back to the main cave, very slowly though. She saw the light and knew she had made it back safely. The first thing she did, stepping into the light, was roaming the cave to find him. She saw him lying on the couch, his hands behind his neck, supporting I so he could look at her.
"Clean and all?", he mocked her. Brianna nodded.
"Thanks", she whispered. She felt like she better could try and keep him as a friend instead of a foe. But his arrogance was making it quite hard to do so.
She watched him get up and making his way over towards her.
"You know, that dress really suits you. And surviving here, alone for those four days, must be due to a deep survival instinct. I like that in a woman. A strong will."
He came even closer, again trapping her between his body and the back of the cave.
"Now I wonder, how far does that instinct go? He brought his lips right before hers. No touching, just lingering. Brianna closed her eyes, not wanting to participate in this at all.
Yes he was attractive and handsome. But also very terrifying. She still wondered if he would kill her.
"What are you afraid of?", he then asked her, his lips a little further away from hers. Brianna swallowed.
"You", she answered in one breath. Riddick grinned.
He then closed the distance between the two of them and kissed her. Like she was the last woman on this earth. Brianna felt like she was being crushed by his hold on her neck and his crushing lips. He was demanding and rough, but while he was assaulting her lips, his fingers were stroking her neck tenderly. It confused Brianna to no end.
She then became from the shock and turned her head, breaking the kiss.
"Stop", she whispered, totally out of breath. Riddick interestedly watched her face, hoping for her eyes to meet his. But she was determined not to look him in his eyes. He was like a dog, make no eye contact if you want to remain in one piece.
"Look at me", he told her. His voice was demanding and dark.
Brianne slowly complied, although she quickly adverted her eyes to his lips. And then his chest.
Riddick didn't like that she was trying to still be defiant. He took her chin in his hand, forcing her to look in his eyes.
"You would not last another four days on this planet alone. Believe me, there are worse things outside there then me."
Brianna wanted to protest, but his hand on her chin, now lay on her neck, what kept her from speaking.
He brought his forehead against hers, his silver eyes way to close for Brianna's taste.
"You will stay by my side. For now."
Short I know, but I'm still introducing the characters and the story line! Please do review, it makes me write more!
