Beautiful Savage: Okay so here you go. Next chapter, sorry for tha wait I got kicked out of where I was living and bounced around a while before I got set back up.

That bitch had sicked her god damned cat on her. She was dead...fucking dead. Before Jamie had planned on just making Riddick leave her but no she was a dead woman...and so was that cat.

How dares she? The bitch was obviously insane but she was sharp. She seemed to be able to see threw all of her plans and call her on them before she could even start to put them in play. Jamie needed a way to make that bitch trust her, and she couldnt use Blondie to do that or Riddick. If the bitch had sicked her cat on her just because she'd been near her brother she couldnt imagine what she would do if she got near Riddick.

"You havent won yet bitch," she muttered as she turned and headed for the door of her room, "In the end they'll all be mine."

Vaako knocked softly on the door of Riddick's rooms wondering what to expect when the door opened. Sage very rarely claimed possession of him and after hearing about the fight she and Riddick had had he was wondering what she wanted him for. He'd learned a long time ago not to piss Sage off. Watching her gut his late wife had been a lesson well learned and it now appeared that the stowaway and Riddick had both made her angry. So whatever she was planning he was glad that he was on her side in it and would work to keep it that way.

"Wrong rooms Vaako," came a familiar voice and he turned to find Sage walking towards him with a pleasant smile on her face.

"You wanted to see me," he said suddenly very nervous. Sage never looked this friendly and even her cat was pleasant as it slunk forward and rubbed against his leg. A drastic change considering that he'd tried to eat both him and Scales for the first few weeks he'd been here.

"Relax Vaako. I just want you to make sure that Jamie has everything she needs and is comfortable," Sage told him and he almost choked on his tongue. An hour ago she'd been sicking her cat on the girl and now she was telling him to make sure she had everything she wanted...it didnt make any since.

"Pardon?" he asked staring at her like she'd lost her mind.

"I realized I've been rather harsh on her and that it was rather cruel to set the cat on her for talking to Marcus. I just haven't been myself lately. It's just a peace offering. Is that a problem?" she asked and he shook his head. Smiling she reached forward and patted him on his shoulder, "I knew I could count on you Vaako. Let me know if there's anything she needs."

"Is that all?" he asked and she nodded causing him to turn and began to walk away. Sage watched him go letting his get around the corner before scowling slightly.

"Well that left an unpleasant taste in my mouth," she muttered looking down at the cat who sat beside her his tail flicking irritably, "I suppose we should go make up with Riddick." With a yowl he looked up at her and she patted his head lovingly. "Hopefully she'll take the rope and hang herself fast so we can cut the crap soon." she muttered before turning and heading for the war room.

Riddick stood beside Scales looking at the map of the Glenton System as the Generals came up with an attack plan. Beside him Marcus stood quietly listening to everything and chewing on his bottom lip. In the last few hours Marcus had stuck by him and Riddick couldnt help but notice that he was alot like Sage...well sorta. Both seemed to watch everything around them and just like his sister he'd tried to befriend Scales quickly.

"You know if you attack from the dark side of Glenton Six while attacking Glenton Minor at the same time you stand the best chance of success," Marcus said suddenly looking up at all of them, "It'll cut off the main force and communications simultaneously so they'll have no way to defend. After that the whole system will fall quickly." Glancing at Scales Riddick couldnt help the sly smirk that crept onto his face, perhaps having another Elemental on board wasnt such a bad thing. Especially considering that Sage wasnt talking to him, and was pissed enough that if she gave advice she'd probably sabotage the mission.

"Sounds good," Scales rumbled glancing at Marcus who put on a hesitant smile.

"Thank you Scales," he said a hint of pride in his voice.

"You may be as useful as your sister after all," Riddick rumbled softly with a soft smirk, "And not nearly the pain in the ass she is."

"Oh that hurts darling," came a soft purr causing all of the men to jump and turn slowly to find the something more terrifying than they'd ever expected. Instead of a pissed off Sage with a preening cat beside that that they'd expected to find they found Sage with a pleasant smile on her face and a content looking cat that slunk forward to rub against Riddick's legs.

"I've got to go alert the Armada of our plans," Scales said quickly before turning and all but running away. With their own muttered excuses the rest of the Generals quickly fled leaving Riddick and Marcus staring at Sage who just kept smiling at them softly. It was freaky, Riddick was use to a smirk or a cruel smile but this one was all sweetness...it was just scary.

"Hmmm, they all left rather quickly. I didnt think you where done planning," she said glancing at the door that they'd left by, "Oh well, you can always finish later," she said returning her eyes to them, "Anyway I just wanted to apologize for earlier. I over reacted, I really shouldnt have sicked the cat on her like that," she said and both men's jaws hit the floor at the same time. Shaking himself slightly Riddick looked down at the cat who was rubbing against his leg only to have the beast yowl softly and lick his hand.

"Uhhhh, okay," he said looking at Sage who just smiled at him.

"Well I'll see you guys later. I have things to do," she said as she pecked both of them on the cheek before turning and leaving with the cat looping after her.

"Okay, for some reason that scared the crap out of me," Marcus said as the door closed behind them, "What was that?" he asked looking up at Riddick who was silently wondering who that woman was and what she'd done with Sage.

"I dont know," he said finally turning back to the map, "And i'm not sure I want to."
