This is a short chap...don't hurt me...the others will hopefully be longer...I know I was so close to let them get some loving, but I'm keeping that for a bit later..Thanks again for all your reviews, they have allowed me to meet some really cool ppl and get some really cool feedback...Pls continue...I love you dahlings!!! Btw, Jack's special Furyan trait comes...she has great instincts which got more developed when she turned 18...she needs something special too as a Furyan...Riddick can't get everything, but he can always get me...heehee

Jack. I watch her get off of me and sit on the co-pilot's seat. Fuck. We were just getting into it, but then these fuckin' ships had to show up. I check the monitor and see that there are 3 ships. They are all a bit larger than mine, but something is weird about them. My instincts are screaming, but the ships are still. Too still.

Riddick. I don't know what's happening, but ever since I turned eighteen I have been getting some very strong feelings, just like when I knew you were coming for me. Or maybe my feline instincts have developed substantially. Whatever it is, I know that we should get as far away as possible from those ships.

"Turn around. NOW," Jack screams.

"They saw us. They'll just follow us," Riddick says a bit surprised to hear Jack scream and a bit worried to hear fear in her voice.

"They are dead. TURN AROUND RIDDICK." Usually Riddick wouldn't have taken too kindly to being ordered around, but he couldn't deny his gut feeling. He knew that Jack was right. He expertly maneuvered his ship so that it did a 180 degrees turn and sped away. Jack was working on her set of switches without even being told.

Jack. I don't know why you are so scared, but at least you can still think under pressure. That makes me feel a bit more confident about going to Helion Prime.

Shit. What was that sound? I check the ship monitor again and see that the ships exploded. That could have been us.

Holy fuck. I was right, those ships were too dangerous. We could have died if we hadn't turned around. Those ships were a ploy to kill us. I think the Necromongers or the Mercs really want us dead. But for some reason, I just know the weird people did this. Why are they so afraid of us? Is it because we are Furyans?

I breathe in and out slowly to slow my heartbeat and calm my nerves, but it doesn't seem to work. I quickly glance at Riddick and see that he is already plotting a detour into the autopilot program. How can he be so calm when we almost died? But when I look at his eyes, I see the anger. The fury. Someone's going to get his or her ass shived.

I can't believe how stupid I am. I was so close to heading right into the ploy. I would have got us both killed and I swore to myself that I would keep Jack safe. I look at her from the corner of my eye and see that she is shaking. I made her shake. I am clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth because I am so angry with myself. I can do whatever I want to myself, but I cannot be careless with Jack.

Riddick. He got up and went to the mess. I turn my seat to look at him just in time to see him punch the wall and leave a dent. His knuckles are split and are bleeding. Then he punches the wall again, leaving another dent. When is he going to learn that hurting himself won't solve anything? I guess I am the last person to comment on that.

"Riddick," Jack whispers. Riddick turns his silver gems towards her. Even though she is looking at her own reflection, she can still read the emotions in them. She decides that she needs to help him, so she walks to him still shaking.

"Go away," he says for the second time that day.

"No. I don't want to go anywhere. We're in this together."

"You should find someone else because I'm going to get you killed," Riddick growls.

"You are the only person I want to be with. And the only person I want to die with." With those words, she picks his right hand and kisses each knuckle. Then she goes close to him. He hugs her fiercely and buries his head in her shoulder.

"Sorry," he whispers. Jack knows how hard it is for him to admit he's wrong. It's something that they both share. She just hugs him tighter as a response.

She lets him go and sits on the floor, her back to the wall. She pets the place in front of her, signaling Riddick to come. He slowly sits down and faces her. She shakes her head and makes him turn around, to face the other side. She smiles when she sees him cock an eyebrow, as she pulls him back. This time, Riddick's head and back lie on Jack's front, in between her legs. She massages his temples, as he puts his hands on her outstretched thighs.

Riddick. I want to take care of you too. As I rub my hands on your head and see you close your eyes, I pray to Imam's God that you always trust me. That you always understand that we are both together, during good and bad times. So even though I am afraid of dying, we didn't, and you have to get over it.

Jack. You are perfect for me. Here I am killing myself for putting you in danger, and you are comforting me. Who would have thought that the Evil Riddick needed some comforting? I know for sure that I belong in your arms, and there is nowhere else I want to be. Just here. Of course having my head on your breasts is helping a lot.

We must have fallen asleep, because I am now hearing Riddick say something, as he shakes me. He is telling me that we will have to land the ship soon. Shit. We have finally reached Helion Prime. As I get up and go to the cockpit, I stagger when I look outside at the planet.

What once used to be a beautiful planet had become a dirtball. There were just brown tunnels over every major city. The Necromongers fucked the only planet I could call home. Everything seemed dead. Even the beautiful and vivacious green oceans were now still. Even their spirit was killed.

The sight woke Kyra up.
