Okay, so sorry about my little hiatus. I moved and couldn't get my internet hooked up and it was a huge fiasco and the world came crumbling down around me, But I finally got things worked out and put up the next chapter. Oh, and I just want to thank everyone for reviewing and for all the constructive criticism, I really appreciate it! Anyway, here you go loves!
-----------------
Riddick's silver eyes narrowed at the restraints now enclosing his wrist. Kyras breathing was shallow, she couldn't believe in the midst of being felt up by a man she once considered her brother, she had managed to remember the task at hand…taking Riddick into custody. And thought she was moist between her thighs and her outlook on Riddick had suddenly changed and was quite different from when she was fifteen, she was still first and foremost a bounty hunter, and her bounty was now staring at her with a sort of surprised rage that she was sure was not common to the convict.
" If you wanted to get kinky, you could have at least warned me first…" Riddick growled. Kyra snorted and pushed herself off the wall. " Funny." She popped her knuckles and cleared her throat, " And don't even think about running, if you get more than ten feet away from me those restraints will send a shock through your body harsh enough to bring even you to the fucking ground. Now lets go." She growled, grabbing his arm and pulling him into the street. She grabbed the gun at her feet as they spilled out of the alley.
Riddick shrugged her hand off his arm violently and stared at her for a long moment. There was a way out of this…he just had to figure it out. She would slip up, she was too nervous, too skittish around him. She should would fuck up, even momentarily, and he would take charge of the situation. All he had to do was wait. He was surprised at her. She had become much more complex that he would have ever expected.
His thoughts were interrupted when Kyra suddenly went very still, her eyes wide and showing all too much white. He too felt a presence and turned to see two figures at the end of the street. One tall, slender cloaked frame, and another shorter, greasy looking creature with a wide grin, a dagger dancing in his hands.
The street was silent, empty…trash floated across the road as an invisible wind pushed it. " Shit…" Kyra spoke softly, her eyes narrowing on Vex and the billowy figure next to him. She saw only the creatures leather like lips and pale withered skin and the shallow breathing coming from beneath the cloak and shadows. Vex snickered and the sound echoed around them. They stood at the end of the street, bathed in pale moonlight. And though they were almost 50 feet away from them, when the hidden creature spoke, his voice seemed to caress even the most intimate parts of Kyras body. She pursed her lips and fought the urge to cover herself from the invasion.
" Give Riddick to us." It was a simple request. But the creatures voice was dark and slithered around Riddick and Kyra like a boa, suffocating.
It took Kyra a long moment before she could find her voice. Riddick said nothing. His face a placid mask, his eye hidden beneath the goggles.
"He's my prisoner." Kyra spoke, her voice echoing off the walls unlike the cloaked being. " I will not give him to you."
Riddick looked over at Kyra. She looked out of the corner of her eye and turned her head and frowned slightly. But Riddick simply turned back, his face never changing. Kyra pursed her lips, wiping her sweaty palms on her pants. Her mind calculated the quickest way out of this mess, the fastest way to the docks. She waited for the creature to speak, and she did not have to wait long.
" Very well." He said slowly, deliberately. " If you will not give him to us, then we will take him…" the figure growled and Vex laughed hysterically, reaching for his lower back. Kyra knew exactly what he was going for and did the same. The cloaked figure began to moved forward and it was if his feet didn't even touch the ground. He seemed to hover as Vex produced two guns and fired rapidly at Kyra and Riddick.
" GO!" Kyra yelled as she pulled her gun, shooting back. Her and Riddick turned, running towards the shipping dock. Their feet pounded of the concrete as they dipped and dodged the clash of bullets. They turned a corner and pressed themselves up against the wall. Kyra turned and fired rapidly, those in the street screaming and running, panic erupting as Vex shot back. " You want to feel me in, kid?" he asked.
" Well, you already know the greasy little fuck, Vex. You gave him that scar. The other, I'm not sure. But he scares the shit out me." She confessed as she looked up at him. " But I think they may be after you… kid." She spat. Riddick snorted as Kyra ducked, bullets raining down on them. Riddick grabbed her arm." Lets go."
Despite the fact that she was apparently no longer calling the shots and it pissed her the hell off, she let him drag her into the crowed of people as they pushed through. They ran, and Kyra felt a shot ring past her head as Riddick slammed into her, knocking them both out of the way of another spurt of bullets. Shouts erupted behind them, in front of them, on all sides as they found their way into the shipping docks. Kyra turned and managed to get a few shots off. But they hit nothing, seemed to go straight through the cloaked one. Kyra picked up her pace, the pair was closer than she had thought. " Faster, c'mon." she cried. Riddick took a moment to scowled at her. " I can go faster, but your restraints aren't helping any. Keep your ass up so I don't get shocked-"
" TURN." she cried, interrupting as she pushed him around a corner. She could see her ship up ahead at one of the ports. Shots erupted behind her and now, joining Vex was the ship dock security. They slammed past people but most were smart and just got the hell out of their way. They ran upon her ship and stopped as the key board beeped loudly for an entry pass code.
" 960..." Kyra shouted as she pressed her back to Riddick and fired off two shots at the oncoming security. Riddick typed the code in as she spoke, but she was mumbling, too busy firing. " Kyra."
"96058, no 158-" she said as she shot another. Riddick turned,. " WHAT IS THE CODE!" he yelled. Kyra stopped and turned around" 9601582." she said as he put in the code. The main doors opened. " Wasn't so hard now was it." he said was they ran into the ship, shots ringing out into the hull as the doors slammed shut. She sat in the pilots chair, her fingers racing over the control panel as she looked out and saw a line a people firing at her ship. She was taking too much damage. " Get us out of her Kyra." Riddick spoke from the darkness behind her. It was then that an automated voice erupted. " YOU DO NOT HAVE CLEARANCE TO EXIT THE SHIPPING DOCK. YOU DO NO HAVE CLEARANCE TO-"
The ship scratched loudly and ground against the docking supports that held her ship down. The ship burst free and rocked violently, threatening not to leave as sparks flew up around her. " SHIT!" she cried out. The ship grunted and the haunting screech of metal against metal echoed around them. But suddenly, the ship lurched forward and took off, throwing Kyra into the back of her seat. Riddick's hands tightened around the metal pole he held onto as the sound of gun shots faded quickly behind them.
Vex roared and fired endlessly, emptying his gun at a target that no longer was there. He threw down his weapon like a four year old having a tantrum. " God Dammit." He turned and let out a yelp as Ciricose appeared behind him, his eyes glowing red beneath the cloak. His pale hand shot out and wrapped around Vexs neck. " You let them get away Vex.." He growled as Vex slowly began to leave the ground. " These are crucial times Vex. Failure is unacceptable. " Vex choked and squirmed violently as Ciricose lifted him, his hand wrapping tighter and tighter. Vex swatted at his arms but it was pointless. His eye bulges and he tried to speak, but soon the sound of bones began to snap and Vex slowly stopped moving. Ciricose tossed him to the ground and turned, the crowed parting for him like the red sea.
Kyra let out a breath as the darkness of space enveloped then in her loving arms. " They'll follow us, but me night be able to loose them in the…" but her voice became soft as she felt Riddick stand behind her chair. That was when she realized that she had forgot to chain him down. She turned slowly, the damsel heroin realizing the monster was really waiting behind her the entire time. " You slipped up." he said with a smile as his bound hands slammed across her face and her vision went black.
