BeautifulSavage: thank you all for being so paitent and baring with me threw my epic writter's block. Please review and tell me if I've still got it. Thanks and enjoy, i made sure it was a long one,

Jamie wandered the halls fuming. That bitch was an Elemental, and seemed to have more control than Riddick. This would be harder, Elementals were dangerous normally. Seeing into the truth of everything they could botch even the best laid plans, and this one was obviously insane. But her brother might be useful, if the bitch had been willing to kill the Great Counsel to protect him she'd obviously stop at nothing to protect the guy.

He was cute and obviously naïve so why not use that as an advantage? If Jamie started flirting with blondie than Sage'd be so busy keeping her way from him that Riddick would be left unguarded. The fact that the bitch was pregnant was troubling but that could also be an advantage. Most wild men like Riddick detested the idea of having to settle down because of a child. Not to mention that pregnant woman were fat and unattractive.

Yeah, she could work this and she would win. Jamie Queen of the Necros…had a nice ring to it.

Marcus strolled through the halls of his sister's new home hesitantly. He could hardly believe that he was here and that Sage was as well. It was strange but her new name fit her much better that the one she'd been given at birth. Lena had never suited her, it had always seemed to weak. And he know knew that his sister wasn't weak. He'd pulled up her rap sheet on the cortex in his room and damned near had a heart attack just looking at the list of prisons she'd been sent to. He hadn't been able to bring himself to read anymore so he'd pulled up Riddick's rap sheet instead.

And promptly fell out of his chair. He'd know that the Furyan Child had a reputation for being a monster but after reading the 78 page rap sheet and warrant he'd almost had a heart attack. It had been like a speeder crash, he hadn't wanted to look but he couldn't look away at the same time. The man seemed to have committed almost every crime imaginable and had killed more people than Marcus knew.

And that man was his sister's…well he wasn't quiet sure what he was. Sage hadn't said that he was her husband or boyfriend but he was something. He was the father of her child, his niece or nephew. Marcus was quiet sure how he felt about that or Riddick but if Sage loved him so he'd try and understand why. Hell, the guy had to have some redeeming quality if his sister was in love with him…right?

"Ouch!" came an unfamiliar voice that was very feminine pulling him from his internal monolog. Marcus hesitated for a split second before hurrying around the corner the sound had come from. He turned the corner and found a young woman that was obviously not a necro sitting on the ground rubbing her ankle.

"Are you alright?" he asked as he knelt down and looked at her. She turned her innocent eyes to him and smiled softly.

"Yeah. I just stepped funny," she told him in a voice that was just a tad too sweat, "Thank you though."

"I take it you're not a Necro?" he said helping her up and she shook her head with a sweet smile.

"No, I stowed away here to escape my parents. They were beating and selling me for drugs. Riddick was nice enough to let me stay. Are you one of his advisors?" she asked and he chuckled shaking his head.

"No, I'm Sage's twin Marcus," he told her.

"She doesn't like me too much," she said and he noticed the hint of over sweetness in her voice.

"She doesn't seem to like anyone too much," he said standing up and offering her his hand, "Don't take it personally." Smiling she allowed him to help her to her feet.

"Thank you, you must be the nice twin," she joked and he just chuckled. If only she knew, "I'm Jamie by the way. It's nice to meet you. So are you an Elemental too?" she asked as they began walking down the hall.

Sage strolled threw the halls with a content smile on her face and the cat beside her. His deep purr rumbled softly in the quiet as he looked up at his Mistress. She was pleased and that pleased him. Rubbing against her leg as they turned a corner he licked her hand that she reached down to pet him with.

"You certainly are affectionate of late," she said in a laughter laced voice as she stopped and reached down to scratch his ears, "And you haven't eaten my boots of late so I guess you're adjusting to the good life aren't you? I guess I should thank Riddick for getting you instead of something stupid like a dog huh?" she cooed scratching his chin. And he let out a soft me winging sound causing her to smile. With a quick pet she started back down the hall with the great beast lopping at her side.

Sage was in the best mood she'd been in for months, she'd gotten her brother back. For years she'd been angry at him because they'd kept him and thrown her away but by the time she hit her first slam her anger had faded to be replaced by loneliness. Marcus had always been different from the others. He'd never glared at her or whisper fearfully as she passed instead he'd played with her and been her friend. Her only friend until Riddick had shown up and the only memories that had made her smile for long time had been of playing with him. In a weird way she'd always been sort of happy that she'd been the dark one, the thought of him being in the hell she'd lived in had always scared her. At least she'd known he was happy and safe.

But apparently he hadn't been happy. When she'd first seen him she'd felt like someone had slapped her. The audacity of him coming to try and get her to save humanity had infuriated her. Honestly she hadn't planned on even offering Marcus to stay here, but seeing the bitch try use him against her had been to much. She knew that her Mother had always know that Sage would have done anything for Marcus and she was sure that was the only reason he'd been brought along. Not that it mattered now, the bitch couldn't touch him now. None of those bastards could anymore, now he was free to do what he liked.

The smile that had graced her lips turned into a scowl as she turned the corner and found that slimy little liar laughing as she touched her brother's arm. She didn't care what Riddick thought, she wasn't innocent or to be trusted. She was a liar and something about her was far from sweet.

"Get away from him bitch," Sage snarled and beside her she heard the cat growl and looked down to find that his hide was blazing red. A twisted sort of smirk graced her lips as she removed her hand from his back, "Get her," she commanded laughing and the cat bound forward all teeth and claws towards the horrified girl.
