Chapter Four

"This was such a brilliant fucking idea."

Riddick slowly turned his head to the side to look at Eleayna who was shackled next to him, their hands almost touching as she stared straight ahead out of the front window to where the pilot was now directing them towards the hanger of the closest slam to where they had been captured.

"Not getting upset are you?"

She smiled at him, turning her head to where he was smirking at her from under his goggles, his arms straining against his bonds when the ship jerked a little beneath them.

"Oh not at all I'm rather looking forward to a cosy vacation back in the place it took me months to escape from."

He chuckled a little before turning to face the front as the pilot muttered something, the ship jerked wildly and Eleayna was thrown against Riddick, the bond at her right wrist cutting into her skin sharply as she moved. Hissing in pain she raised her head to glare under her blindfold at the pilot who was now bringing the ship to a stop. As the group of mercs messed around contacting the prison and requesting transport Eleayna rubbed her head against her arm until the blindfold lifted up over her eyes.

"Alright Riddick, according to you I'm stuck with your ass which isa shamebut doesn't overly worry me." Riddick turned to stare at her. "What does worry me, not to mention piss me off, is the fact that we are now heading back to the slam because you wanted to play with some mercs."

He smiled at her and she narrowed her eyes at him, he didn't seem at all bothered about their situation which was doing little to impress her.

"Sorry to interrupt this little lovers spat."

Eleayna turned her gaze to the leader of the mercs who was standing over them with a gun resting casually over his shoulder.

"Who mentioned a lovers spat? What you're witnessing was an entirely love-less spat."

He ignored her.

"But we gotta get you two settled for the night."

He smiled at them as the mercs began to unlock their chains; guns trained on them as they were pushed towards the doors and out into the hanger where what looked like a cattle-truck was waiting for them. After being shoved into the back of the truck Eleayna rested her head back against the wall of the truck and dropped her aching hands into the V her raised knees created. Riddick watched her for a moment before turning his attention to memorising how far they were travelling and how many turns they took.

"Well well Ms Sear. Nice to have you back."

Eleayna looked up from where she was kneeling besides Riddick on the floor of the Boss's office. The mercs were sat around them with their guns still tightly clenched in their hands as the Boss rested on the edge of his desk in front of them with an infuriating smirk on his seedy-looking face.

"Oh you know me, Fletch. Can't keep away."

He smiled coldly at her before stepping forward and slapping her hard across the face, she stayed with her head facing to the side it had been forced to for a moment before turning back to face him. She smiled. He eyed her suspiciously. Without shifting the smile from her face Eleayna spat the blood in her mouth onto the floor at his feet. He merely looked at her before returning to his place by his desk.

"And you brought a friend, how thoughtful."

His eyes moved to take in Riddick who was staring at Eleayna's prone profile; he turned his head slowly as he heard the man addressing him. The two men stared at each other for a moment before the Boss nodded at the numerous guards around the office who roughly hauled the two of them to their feet and shoved them out the door. When the two of them were stood on a small white circular platform a buzzing filled the air and thick heavy metal bars shot up to enclose them. A beeping sound later and their chains fell away from them; the bars retreated back into the ground and Eleayna stepped off the platform and stalked away from Riddick into the darkness surrounding them.

"Well well well, aren't you a pretty one."

Eleayna didn't turn to look at the guard but she did put down the cup she was drinking out of just in case. She felt a rough hand on her ass, moving around to grope her before drifting up to squeeze her breasts. She smiled to herself. Turning she punched the guard square in the face, a sickening crunch telling her she had broken his nose as she grabbed the hand still against her. Holding onto two of his fingers in one hand and the others and his thumb in her other she pulled as hard as she could in opposite directions until she heard a loud resounding crack.

Satisfied she had broken his hand in at least a dozen places she pushed him backwards away from her and he fell onto his back clutching his broken nose with his good hand and cradling his broken hand against his chest. Stepping over him she turned as a loud clanging noise echoed around the prison and almost instantly the rails along the upper ledges were covered by convicts hanging over the edge to see what was happening.

"It's their weekly games."

Riddick approached the fence to stand next to her as they watched the guards staring up at them all consideringly.

"Once a week they choose three of us to go and play with their little pets. No one ever comes back."

They both ignored the grubby man to their left who was talking; two men had already been chosen and were now being chained up ready to be led out to their arena. A guard appeared with blood staining the front of his uniform and he was clearly favouring one hand over the other. He pointed up at Eleayna with a deadly look in his eyes and she smiled. The guy next to her gave her a startled look and backed away quickly when he saw she was smiling.

"I wouldn't bother waiting; no one ever comes back from that place."

Riddick glanced up at the grubby guy from earlier who was watching him from the shadows; turning back he continued sharpening the shivs he had smuggled in. There was a loud commotion as the door opened and a figure was shoved roughly in. Her chains were unlocked and she smiled enticingly at the guard who undid them as she moved into the centre of the floor. On her way to the stairs Eleayna passed the guard that had groped her earlier, his nose was bandaged as was his hand and he gaped at her in horror as she passed him. She smiled and blew him a kiss. As she passed Riddick he caught the distinct scent of blood drifting from her and he glanced up in time to see her bloodied back disappearing through a doorway.

"Looks like it hurts."

Eleayna ignored him and pulled off her tank top to expose her black bra; her jacket had been left in the prison and no doubt stolen by someone by now. There were several deep claw marks along her lower back steadily seeping blood over her skin. She winced and grabbed a cup of water from by the rusted sink. Luckily the water was basically clean as she ripped up a stolen shirt and dipped it into the water. Dabbing awkwardly at her back she bit her lip as it stung her but carried on.

"I've had worse."

He leant sideways against the doorway and watched her as she cleansed her cuts; they didn't look as though they would need stitches which was lucky for her since she was not about to get any in this dump.

"So tell me, how is it a girl like you ends up with most of the universe on her ass?"

Eleayna grimaced as she prodded her wounds a little too hard;

"I guess I'm just lucky that way." He stared at her with a smirk just curling his lips. "And I suppose it doesn't help that I reduce their ranks rather drastically every time they come after me."

He raised an eyebrow at her and she eyed him curiously in the small broken shard of mirror nailed securely above the sink.

"Don't ask."

Having finished with her wounds she turned to face him as she wrung the top in her hands to remove as much sweat and blood as she could from the fabric. He eyed her milky skin; surprisingly it was flawless save for an elaborate inky black design etched into her skin and stretching several inches from just under her rib cage downwards.

"Like it? I have a few."

He snapped his eyes back to her face as she stood watching him, she had swung one hip out to the side and she was smirking. As she extended her right arm palm up he found more black marring her pale flesh; liberté. She removed her arm from his gaze as she pulled her top over her head and down covering the one on her chest. He raised an eyebrow and she grinned before lowering the front of her trousers dangerously low so he could see the star just under her bellybutton.

He took a step towards her, his fingertips brushing lightly over the star before snaking up under her top to tickle over the one on her chest. She shivered and he smirked leaning his face towards hers until she could see her eyes reflected in his goggles. His hand had shifted from her tattoo and was resting on her bare hip, his fingers licks of fire as they burned into her flesh, she smiled as their noses touched slightly and she lifted her face closer towards his. Her arms felt like dead weights as she slowly lifted them up to his face, boldly she lifted up his goggles and placed them on the top of his head. Surprised by her daring he didn't move as he allowed her fingertips to wander over the planes of his face shooting sparks through him. Catching her right wrist he felt her pulse flickering wildly under her skin and he tilted her hand back until her veins were glowing blue just under her skin. Her eyes had never left his even as his gaze had shifted to her tattoo.

"Where would a third-rate tattooist learn French?"

She cocked her head to the side at his words as he ran his thumb over the black letters imprinted into her skin.

"What makes you think it was a third-rate tattooist?" He fixed his sceptical gaze on her and she felt a flare of anger at his assumption. "That's been there since before I could remember, actually."

He smirked at her anger, leaning forwards to nudge her temple with his nose, inhaling her scent. As he pulled back he placed his lips a breath away from hers expecting her to gasp at his proximity. She didn't. Instead she darted her tongue out, running it temptingly along his bottom lip until he growled. Before either of them could do anything further the floor began to shake violently beneath them throwing them apart.

Eleayna fell against the sink which gave a loud protesting creak; she ignored it and steadied herself. The walls were shaking around them and the mirror fell to the floor between them, shattering with a loud crash before it all stopped and an eerie silence filled the room.

"Well that's seven years bad luck." Riddick glanced at her as she stared at her fractured reflection in the mirror shards. "Just what I need."

Letting go of the sink she was about to take a step towards the mirror when Riddick lunged at her, knocking her onto the floor.

"Hey! What the hell are you…?"

She trailed off when a sizeable chunk of the ceiling thundered down onto the spot they had just been occupying. Eleayna gaped at the rocks piled before them before looking up at where Riddick was scanning something she couldn't see, his goggles back in place. Eleayna remained on her ass for a moment, her hands bracing her from behind as the floor began to shake again. When she looked up this time Riddick was gone and she cursed him as she stumbled to her feet. The main area on the other side was deserted when she entered and she had the distinct feeling that she was in more danger than she had thought.

Riddick scanned the prisoners surrounding him but could see no sign of vibrant red hair;

"Where's the girl?"

A nearby prisoner chuckled and pointed down over the rail edging along the ledge where most of the prisoners were gathered. Two prisoners were talking loudly about something and Riddick's ears pricked at the mention of a she.

"Think she'll make it?"

"No way, have you seen it; she's dead! What's she doing… what… the… fuck!"

Shoving the two ragged prisoners out of the way roughly Riddick approached the rail and watched as Eleayna made her way slowly up towards them using the poles and ropes criss-crossing the space between the two walls. As he watched she pulled herself up into a handstand on a thin-looking pole, she spun around and around for a moment building up momentum until she let go and flipped in midair hooking onto another pole with her legs and dangling upside down. She could see that the floor far beneath her was in pieces now, thick white plumes of red-hot steam billowing up and making the air foggy; she knew if she fell she'd be dead within seconds.

A crunching sound to her left made her jerk her head to see the end of the pole slowly grinding away the rock it was set into under her weight. Scrambling onto her feet, balancing awkwardly she was about to jump from the pole when it gave way beneath her and she was plummeting down. Reaching out blindly she managed to grab onto a nearby chain and spin around it, letting go and falling through the air. She landed hard on her side and rolled down the slight incline of the ledge until she came to a stop splayed on her front at Riddick's feet.

Grabbing her under the shoulders he yanked her to her feet;

"Good, now we can leave."

She gaped at his back as he turned away from her, eyeing the cracks in the wall and assessing which would be their quickest way out. He felt something hit his shoulder and he turned to see Eleayna glowering at him;

"You brought us here to test me?"

He rolled his eyes and turned around heading over to the largest crack in the wall, he was about to step through into it when he felt a hand wrenching on his arm trying to turn him around. He turned slowly.

"What were you gonna do if I failed… leave me here!"

She looked furious and he cocked his head to the side curiously smiling calmly at her. He didn't see her fist coming at him until it had connected with his jaw sending him staggering backwards a few steps with the force of it. He glared at her and rubbed his bruised jaw, he may have hit her back but he didn't get the chance as the ground began to shake again and the edge of the ledge crumbled slightly depositing half a dozen screaming prisoners into the burning steam. Eleayna shuddered and darted after Riddick into the crack in the wall besides them out of the way of a falling boulder.

There was screaming and panic as the prisoners raced around the ledge looking for somewhere to hide; many were trying to climb the walls as Eleayna watched the walls beginning to crumble. She felt hands at her waist and she was hauled roughly backwards further into the darkness of the small cave the crack had made, the walls around them were shaking and dust was raining down on them as Riddick raced through the tunnels they had stumbled upon dragging her along behind him.

They reached another slightly bigger cave and he yanked her towards him, circling her into his embrace and bending over slightly so his body covered hers as the tunnel behind them collapsed showering them with debris, the force of the expelled air sending them tumbling forwards onto the rocky floor. Eleayna felt the sharp rocks cutting into her arms as she braced herself and she winced, coughing on the dust filling the air as she felt Riddick's weight lifted from on top of her.

"What happened?" She managed to croak before collapsing in a coughing fit and resting back on her haunches to check the damage.

"Earthquake somewhere underneath us it sent the pressure rocketing. The slam collapsed in on itself."

Finally able to stop coughing Eleayna wiped the back of her hand across her mouth and staggered to her feet, leaning against the wall as pain shot through her legs from where she had landed on them hard. Blinking against the dust she could just make out Riddick's blurry form moving around.

"So now what do we do?"

He circled the cave once before standing in front a spot to her right and tapping his hand against the wall.

"There's just enough room for us to get through, we gotta get out of here and get to the hanger."

Eleayna doubled over slightly and coughed a little more trying to dislodge the dust from her throat, when she straightened back up Riddick had already disappeared into the make-shift tunnel. Grumbling and still coughing she followed him.
