Full Summary: 'Maybe he wouldn't kill her just yet.' She was only meant to be another kill; instead they're both caught up in a cat and mouse hunt and stuck with each other. "Well I sure as hell chose the wrong girl to kidnap." Murder, lust, space-ship chases, fighting for your life and lots and lots of swearing. "I'm bleeding all over my new clothes, being chased by more Mercs than I care to count and I'm on a stolen space-ship. Now I know I'm hanging around with Riddick." Riddick's choice in kills just dragged him smack into another fight that should never have been his.

Chapter Summary: Not much action really mainly just as fluffy as Riddick is ever gonna get… which isn't much. Well we have baths, learning to punch, reading and some exploring of faces

Chapter Six

Eleayna gave a sigh of pure contentment and settled back, watching the swirls of steam rising lazily from the water and drifting up towards the ceiling. She had missed this. Being on the run from the universe didn't exactly give her a lot of time for the luxuries such as a hot steaming scented bath. Her sharp ears picked up the stirrings around the house and she knew the family would be up soon. Sighing she submerged herself in the water and stared up at it rippling above her. Her long hair covered her face for a moment and when it cleared a face stared back at her. She jumped violently slopping water over the floor as she threw herself into a sitting position coughing and spluttering.

"Bastard."

She glared at Riddick who watched her impassively as she set about scrubbing her hair clean, neither seeming overly worried that Eleayna was naked. When she was finally clean Eleayna rose up from the water and held a hand out towards Riddick, he stared back at her for a long moment before eventually handing her a pale yellow silk bathrobe from the rack besides him. Wrapping herself up in it she moved to pass Riddick but he grabbed her wrist and she paused, in a single swift movement he pulled her towards him by her wrist held at shoulder-height between them.

He leant forward, sniffing slightly at her ear almost distracting her from his other hand which crept through the slight gap in her robe and grazed over her damp skin. She smelled of peaches, even her hair which was slicked back from her face exposing her high cheek-bones and sparkling eyes. His rough hand gripped her bare hip almost painfully through the silk and dragged her towards him. She gazed up at him impassively the barest hints of a challenge smouldering deep in her dark eyes.

Almost unconsciously he let go of her wrist and she brought it to her chest, rubbing it a little to help the blood flow back to her tingling fingers. Glancing up she found her reflection staring back at her and she cocked her head to the side, reaching up she was about to ease the goggles up and away from his head when they were interrupted;

"I bag the bathroom!"

A shout and a crash sounded behind them but neither moved even as light from the hallway spilled into the room as the door was thrown open and a figure hurtled in.

"What the…? Elle!"

Eleayna turned to face the figure which proceeded to throw herself onto her, jumping up and down excitedly.

Chattering wildly the figure, which now revealed herself to be a teenage girl, grabbed Eleayna by the hand and yanked her out of the room and down the hallway leaving Riddick staring at a small boy stood curiously in the doorway.

Riddick glanced up briefly from the sharpening of his shivs to find the little boy still staring at him. The ten year old had become curiously attached to him throughout the day, following him around and now sitting watching him. Riddick turned away and glanced over to where Eleayna and the teenage girl from that morning were making a lot of noise.

"Eleayna? What are you doing to my daughter?"

Eleayna ignored Isa's question as he watched them in amusement, they moved over slightly closer to Riddick.

"I'm teaching her how to hit someone… every girl should be able to throw some kind of a decent punch."

After a few more tries, each noisier than the first she managed to hit the cushion Eleayna was holding up for her with enough force to appease Eleayna and they gave up, settling down on the grass for 'girl-talk'.

"Who's the guy?"

Both girls glanced over at Riddick who was staring at the boy still watching him. Feeling their gaze on him he cocked his head to look at them and they hurriedly turned away. Eleayna lowered her voice until her companion was almost nose to nose with her to hear; she wasn't going to underestimate Riddick's sense of hearing.

"He's just a guy I've kind of ended up getting stuck with."

The girl clapped her hands excitedly and crossed her legs underneath her, leaning forwards conspiratorially and cupping her chin in one hand.

"Right… 'just a guy'… have you guys…"

Eleayna clapped her hand over her mouth before she could finish the sentence and chanced a quick glance at Riddick who was locked in a staring contest with Isa's son again.

"Rachael Lilley Hawthorne… don't you even think it!"

Rachael grinned at her and winked; "You have haven't you?"

Eleayna shook her head; "No we haven't… and you shouldn't even be thinking about that at your age."

"I'm nearly sixteen… that's old enough to consider it thank you." Rachael scowled indignantly.

"Alright alright."

"Don't worry…" Eleayna eyed Rachael cautiously. "I'm not gonna move in on your guy."

Eleayna glared at her and she grinned, getting to her feet as her mother's voice rang across the yard calling her in.

Eleayna and Riddick had finally left her friend's house, taking along many food packages and tearful goodbyes from the children. They had 'borrowed' another ship and were on their way into deep space to give them time to breathe and figure out what they were going to do next. Riddick had set the course and was now on the lookout for Eleayna since she had disappeared into the depths of the ship once the pair had boarded.

He finally found her curled up on the floor under a low round window at the corner of one hallway. She had a single guttering candle burning besides her and a tatty old leather-bound book cradled in her knee. He froze in the shadows and slowly lifted his goggles onto his head so he could see her properly.

Her hair was messily braided and fell over one shoulder; she toyed with the ends of it absently as she read. The candlelight cast golden highlights in her rich dark red hair as she ran her finger lightly down the side of the closely printed page before flipping it over gently. She bit down on her bottom lip as she reached a certain paragraph, her grip tightening on the edge of the book and her forefinger tapping on the top. He could hear her heartbeat increase as she sniffled a little, rubbing viscously at her nose but doing nothing to stop the tear that ran down her freckled cheek.

She flipped the page over less carefully this time and he could see her eyes darting across the page, hungrily devouring the printed words. Another tear traced after the first down her cheek, over the freckles like a dot to dot. She seemed to sense his presence and she glanced up, catching his shining eyes with hers. He took a step towards her and she carefully closed the book and placed it to one side.

"Surprised?"

He took another step towards her, his boots just touching the toes of her bare feet.

"I don't surprise easily."

"That doesn't answer my question."

He took another step towards her and she extended her leg before he could blink, she hooked her foot around the back of his leg and nudged him closer to her. He didn't say anything but allowed her to pull him closer. Very slowly he leant down towards her and she smirked, digging her heel into the back of his knee until he fell down on one knee before her. Their eyes locked. Eleayna was slightly surprised that he had left her in control for so long but her eyes never flickered and her face remained the same, never betraying her surprise.

"Riddick?"

He grunted.

"I want to see you."

He froze as she picked up the candle from besides her and placed it between them, the light wasn't strong enough to hurt Riddick's eyes at his current proximity but it illuminated the rest of his face and shoulders well enough.

"There are better ways to see."

Eleayna wrinkled her brow in confusion and stared up at him still half crouched over her. He lifted the candle and replaced it in its original position; she stared into the flickering, slowly dying flame as it moved past her. He slowly lowered his head, his eyes never leaving hers as he blew out the flame and in a flash he had gripped the ankle resting besides his bent knee. Eleayna panicked for the briefest of moments as she was simultaneously plunged into darkness and grabbed a hold of.

Riddick's hand left her ankle and ran up her long smooth leg, bared by the shorts she was clad in, until she was leaning back on her arms to keep herself upright. She could see his eyes glowing in the dark and the blurred outline of his face above hers but the darkness was so complete she could see nothing else. She reached out her hand and pressed her palm to his cheek, her fingertips moving up and over his cheekbones.

As if in a daze she moved her hand around to the back of his head and pulled him down towards her. His face was mere millimetres from hers and she gently pressed her lips to the tip of his nose, his cheekbones, and his forehead. He urged his lips towards hers but she shifted so she could kiss his chin softly instead, running her lips across the stubble appearing there. Losing his patience he growled and tugged her leg down against him until his knee was resting in the V between her legs and his lips possessed hers roughly.

She arched her body up towards him and pressed her lips against his with matching ferocity which only served to inflame him further. She bit down hard on his lip; bringing blood to her tongue. She ran her tongue against his lips until he let her in, they were melded together; neither could have pulled away had they wanted to. They were fighting each other. Each trying to establish dominance as they battled, neither willing to give in. realising she was enjoying it way too much Eleayna finally pulled away from him and lowered her head so she could breathe and avoid his gaze at the same time.

Before either could say anything the ship was rocked by something and Eleayna was slammed back against the wall, hitting her head hard. Shaking her head to clear it she got shakily to her feet and barrelled into Riddick when the ship shook once more.

"What's happening?"

They were knocked backwards again and she ran to the window when she could finally balance.

"Did you set the course right?"

He growled at her but she ignored it, already on her way to the control room.

"What the fuck! This isn't the course I set."

Eleayna nodded and he grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around, pinning her back against the chair until they were nose to nose.

"Riddick back off… the course you set was altered by someone else… not me."

"And how do you suppose that happened?"

She pointed to a nearby screen, where something was flickering.

"A ship hacked into the system."

He pressed her harder into the chair, his fingers biting into her skin as out of anger at being chased again and in a situation he didn't understand; "How?"

"We haven't had time to fully rewrite the security system, all we did was set up basic shields and change access codes… someone with a more powerful drive could override the changes and do what they want to it."

"Why?"

"To play hide and seek… how the hell should I know, Riddick?"

He let go of her and she shot him a poisonous look before spinning around to the controls and tapping a number of keys while Riddick set to work routing extra energy to the shields.

"Riddick?"

"What?"

"The course hasn't been reset."

"What do you mean?"

"No one altered the course, they just switched it over."

"Meaning?"

"We're heading to wherever it was before we took it."

"Why?"

"I don't know… but there is one thing I do know."

"What's that?"

He turned to find Eleayna gaping at the image flashing on the screen and he strode over to her. Placing a hand on her shoulder and leaning down to see past her.

"Our destination… is my home planet."
