Keira found herself in her bathroom, splashing her face with cold water, she looked in the mirror at herself, she missed him, the bastard who had left her, she shook with fear of never seeing him again,

"I miss you so much," Keira putting her hand up to the mirror, she had seen Riddick's face in the mirror. Slowly she walked into her room, she hit her radio,

I don't know where I'm at

I'm standing at the back

And I'm tired of waiting

Waiting here in line,

Hoping that I'll find,

What I've been chasing

She slowly ran her hands over the little box Riddick had given her at graduation, she smirked, tears were forming in her eyes, slowly she opened the box, she slowly pulled the dog tags out, she busted out crying.

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try?

I know I'm gonna fall down

I thought I could fly,

So why did I drown?

Never know why

It's coming down, down, down

She fell to her butt and leaned against her bed, she ran her fingers slowly over his full name, Richard B. Riddick. She clinched her hand over them, and leaned her head back, slowly turning her head to look at the rain storm that had started up.

Not ready to let go

Cause then I'd never know

What I could be missing

But I'm missing way too much

So when do I give up

What I've been wishing for?

Keira looked over and found her journal, she flipped through it, finding a page ripped out, the page she clearly remembered writing her feelings down for Riddick, but he had replaced the page with his own paper at the back of the book, he had wrote almost two pages.

"Wow, for a guy like Riddick, he sure had a lot to say," Keira almost laughing through her streaming tears and fevered cheeks.

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try?

I know I'm gonna fall down

Never know why,

It's coming down, down, down

Dear Keira,

I don't know how to explain what I feel for you but here it goes. I care a lot about you, more than I should, I cant sleep at times because I…you're not here. If I could I would stay with you, help you piece back your life. I came back to make sure you were still alive, I risked everything because I was at war with myself. I needed closure or at least I thought that's what I needed, but its not it, its more, I don't know, but I do need you, here beside me. When I first left, my animal side came out and it took a month before I could calm down. I don't want to hurt you but I have been with a lot of women but I never felt these warm and very calm feelings till I was with you, so close to you but not being able to touch you, it kills me to know that I did this to you, I don't know, I kind of feel very gay for trying to tell you how I feel, but I cared enough to risk everything to come and see you and I don't think its this overprotective brother thing, because you make me feel like a little school boy again. With the small amount of time I spent with you, you made my heart race, my breathing catch in my throat, and a gut turning feeling, like a flutter. I am very proud of you and I hope to see you soon, I need my sleep and dreaming about you and waking in a cold sweat is not helping. I hope I have explained myself well of how I feel about you. Till the galaxy sends a falling angel my way again.

Forever yours,

Riddick

Oh I am coming down, down, down

Cant find another way around

And I don't want to hear

The sound of losing what I never found

Keira blinked,

"He wrote this, he does sound kind of gay, considering who he is, maybe when we see each other again he can tell me how he feels a little better in person, but it does sound like he loves me," Keira playing with the dog tags. Slowly she walked out onto the balcony, she let the rain soak her, she looked up at the sky with her eyes closed letting the rain wash away her tears.

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try?

I know I'm gonna fall down.

I thought I could fly,

So why did I drown?

I never know why,

Its coming down, down, down.

She remember from earlier that mercs were in town, she walked back in the house and changed into a black tank top and black cargo pants, tight fitting, and of course with her blades in hidden places on her body, she grabbed the dog tags and put them around her neck and into her tank top, she then slipped out of the house using the balcony and ran from the house, what she didn't know is that someone saw her leave the house.

I shot for the sky,

I'm stuck on the ground

Why do I try?

I know I'm gonna fall down

I thought I could fly,

So why did I drown?

I never know why

Its coming down, down, down

The rain slammed hard down on her, she used her stealth and got onto the merc's ship without a sound, her stalker wasn't far behind. She moved with absolutely no sound as she crept through the ship silently among the sleeping mercs, she slit their throats in the middle of their peaceful slumbers, it was pitch black but then she heard another one moving around, she stayed still and listened, the guy slit her side and threw her across the ship, she knocked someone down, she was back up in a second flat, but the guy who had cut her was already lying on the floor bleeding out. She saw Byran, then another merc behind him, Byran threw a shiv right at her, barely missing her and hitting the merc behind her, as she threw her shiv at him and hit the merc coming up behind him. Keira turned on the light and searched for their bounty they had just collected for some conman,

"Welcome to the crew, come on, gotta get out of here," Keira giving Byran half the money, she wasn't even paying attention to her side. Byran took his long sleeves off and tied it around her waist,

"What are you doing?" Keira having turned the lights off.

"You are bleeding and if you bleed everywhere the authorities can trace you back to the crime, come one," Byran leading her out and back to the house.
