Chp.2
I felt the ship jolt and I could hear rattling in the hold. The whole whip was shaking. Then I caught a break, the glass on my containment cell broke. I used the broken glass to cut my bonds. Idiot should've used chains. I pulled the bit out of my mouth and the blindfold off my eyes. I gave one look at the man beside me. I tapped on the glass because I knew he was awake,
"Shouldn't have tried to screw me over Riddick." I ran down the corridor. There were holes in the ship and I watched as the back half of the ship broke away and I could see the land behind me. Desert. Sand, sand, and more sand. That's what I saw. Then the ship hit the ground and skidded, I held onto whatever was close. When the ship stopped I ran. I wasn't sure where to though. I just needed to hide. I stuck close to the shadows as the passengers began to wake. They were talking. One, a boy, came closer to my hiding place and I pressed my back up against the wall. Or what I thought was the wall until I felt a hand come over my mouth and I felt an arm around my waist.
"So," the freak was right by my ear, "you want me to just ghost ya now? Or would you prefer I throw ya to the blue eyed devil?" He pulled me with him out of the shadows and out of the ship and to an enclave in the cliff. He let go of my mouth but not my waist,
"So now what? You gonna ghost me? Or are ya gonna just tie me up somewhere and use me for target practice for when you go after Johns?"
"Ouch, I'm hurt that you would even suggest such a thing." His lips trailed my neck up to my ear just barely touching my skin, "Maybe I didn't wanna kill ya-"
"Bull," He sent shudders up my back but I wouldn't show it, "You'd kill me in less than a heartbeat."
"You're right," He moved his lips from ear and his hand let go of my waist, "I can kill you whenever I want, but I think johns would like to have you alive instead." And before I could react he pushed me over the cliff and I landed flat on my back right in front of Johns.
"Hello Arainia." He took the butt of his gun and hit me in the head with it. When I woke again I was bound and gagged but my eyes uncovered. I tried to move my hands but found that I was bound by chains this time,
"Smart move Johns." I felt a presence behind me in the empty room, "I know you're there Riddick."
"Smart girl. You get better every time." I flung my head back busting him in the nose. I knew it wouldn't have really affected him but just to show my rebellion towards him.
"Buzz of Riddick." He came into view and leaned up against the wall.
"Girly you gonna be hear for a while. I don't see you breakin out of the chains anytime soon, unless of course you had help."
"Please Riddick, like whom? The same man who threw me into captivity twice. I don't think so."
"No, but maybe at a price he would." He came closer this time.
"Like what?"
He came even closer till he was right in front of me, "Like taking out Johns and getting off this planet. Ya see I think people trust you more than they trust me. Seeing how you're such a…sweet young woman. I'm sure you could win them over in no time."
"Yeah, let me do all your dirty work and you just take the first transport outta here? No thanks." He kissed me on the cheek and dropped the key to my chains just out of reach.
"Suit yourself." And he left. Great, there's the key and the only man who would free me I just let walk out. Nice going Arainia. Nice going.
