(Hey again. This is a shorter update…Anyways, enjoy and pls R&R.)
That was so close. I could smell the sun burning the people I had killed as I fled into the hangar. A few seconds more and I would have been burned alive. I ran straight into Riddick's arms as the weird person shut the hangar's opening. Then Riddick just picked me up and ran until we were at the other end of the hangar. The weird man followed.
Riddick. I could have died. The thought is making me shake. Tears are threatening to fall. If you weren't here, I would not have been so scared. But I don't want to die anymore. I want to be with you.
Jack. Please stop shaking. It is making me weak. I want to just carry you away from here. Forever.
"That was close," whispered Jack as she slowly pulled away from Riddick's fierce embrace. "Too close for my liking," Jack whispered again with a fake smile. Riddick just nodded. He left his left arm around her waist and turned to the stranger with a shiv in his right hand.
"Who are you?" Riddick asked the Necromonger curiously.
"I am the Purifier of the Necromonger faith. But I am also a Furyan. You know what that is. You know how Lord Marshal killed every baby on planet Furya. Except you. You must have dreamt of it often." Riddick slightly nodded in response. "You were but a newborn, yet you survived the terror. You're not just a Furyan, Riddick. You are an Alpha Furyan. A man with predator instincts and unimaginable intelligence. A man who has all the skills to survive in any situation." Riddick took off his goggles and looked at the man. "But it is the lady by your side who is even more important. She is the only female Furyan in the universe. And an Alpha Furyan. But she was not born on Furya."
"So? I don't care shit about my past," responded Jack.
"I've done unbelievable things in the name of a faith that is not even mine," the Purifier continued as if he never heard Jack. Then he gazed at the ship. "I had to make a choice when the Necromongers came: convert or die. Not much of a choice." Then he looked back at Jack and Riddick again. "Both of you have a better choice." The Purifier started taking off his rings, helmet and weapons. "Too bad Vaako will not be able to report you dead."
"I know that you are implying that we go and kill those weird people. And you must be crazy. There is no way in hell," Jack muttered angrily.
"I never said any such thing. I was just saying that both of you are the only Furyans who haven't been converted."
"Why are you telling us this?" asked Jack.
"When the time comes for you to make a choice, I want you to remember that you are not mere people. You are Alpha Furyans. The only people that can instill fear in Lord Marshall." And stop him was left unsaid. The Purifier started walking towards the hangar's exit. Jack wanted to stop him, but Riddick held on to her.
"Let him be," Riddick said. "The Furyan in him cannot bow down to anyone but himself."
Riddick. I cannot believe I am the only female left in a race of warriors. I can't even believe I am a Furyan. I had heard stories about them, about their killer instincts. But I thought that they had all been executed one by one. I should have known that you were a Furyan from the first time I saw you chained up to a wall.
But I don't care if I scare the leader of the weird people. Even though it is flattering. I just want to get the hell out of here. I don't want to get in anyone's way, and no one should get into mine. It is simple.
Jack. She is a Furyan too. No wonder I always liked the kid. I should have smelt it in her. I know that the Purifier wanted us to go and kill Lord Marshall. But it isn't my war. It isn't my mess.
