Chapter 5- Looks clear.
They walked back into the other room, then they heard bumping. Katy spun around sensing a strange presence near them.
"Riddick." She mumbled quietly. The others were using a blowtorch to cut through the wall into a safer room. Katy was burning with anger. It scared Riddick. The amount of anger coming from her was far too much for her to control.
"Katy." He said softly. He heard the metal fall to the ground. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the others. He made her go into the room. They needed someone to hold the metal so they could melt it back together. Katy noticed the door. She ran towards it and looked out. One of the creatures was coming towards her. She could feel her body growing hotter and more tense as her anger grew. She then thought about the others. How dangerous it would be if she couldn't defeat it. She slammed the door closed as the creature dived at it. There was a thud. Katy groaned as she used her strength to try and keep the door closed. Riddick could tell she needed help but they weren't done yet and they were being attacked at this side too.
The creature was stronger. So much stronger. She was becoming weak. Then she froze dead to her spot. It couldn't have. The door was thick iron. All that left her mouth was a tiny squeak. She couldn't distract the others. She looked down. Sure enough. There it was. The creatures sharp, dagger-like tail stabbed into her stomach. Her eyes widened as she tried to figure out how it even managed to get it through the door. Bad decision. She wasn't prepared for when it whipped its tail back.
"Fuck!" She screamed in pain. Her scream echoed through the room. Riddick froze.
No. Please. She can't die. Riddick thought panicking.
Big mistake. Katy snapped. Her animal side was in control. She grabbed her knife and pulled the door open standing exactly in front of the creature. The pain was still there but she could hardly feel it anymore. Her body was humming with the power she held. Now she just had to use it. She jumped back as the creature charged at her.
"Aw cute." She snarled angry. "Now you die." The others stayed back in the corner as they watched her brawl with the creature. She got knocked down once and was lying on her back. Its tail whipped towards her, within a split second one hand grabbed the tail the other one, which was holding the knife, sliced it half. Its screeches filled the air. She just laughed at it. Everyone was amazed yet scared. She was an animal, and she seemed to be enjoying fighting this creature. Riddick was trying to stay calm, she could get hurt at any minute and she didn't seem to care. Johns was wide-eyed. She was ruthless. He was even scared of her. There was blue blood splatters all of the walls. Katy had it all over her, all well as her own blood from the wound on her stomach that was throbbing yet she was acting like it wasnt even there. Riddick was being held back by Jack.
It screeched at her. She didn't bat an eyelid. She had anger and revenge corsing through her veins. She was going to kill it, and she was going to avenge Alice at the same time. She slipped out from under the creature, knocking it over in the process. She stood up just as the creature did. They stood face to face. Katy was in its blind spot. It screeched again to try and find her. She hissed and stabbed it in the chest. Its blood covered her hand in an instant but she wasn't stopping. Oh hell no. She repeatedly stabbed it in the chest taking her anger for the entire race of creatures out on this one. Riddick noticed, even when she was an animal, she had very strong emotions, though no other part of her wanted to be weak she was. She had tears running down her soft pink cheeks. She couldn't control herself. She just stabbed over and over. The feeling of the knife slipping into it's skin felt like a relief. It almost felt good. For that she felt ashamed. She started coming back to herself. She blinked a few times shocked. Riddick moved past Jack and went to her. She dropped her knife. The metal clinked against the floor. She just stared in complete shock.
"Hey." He said softly to get her attention.
"What did I do?" She asked crying. All she saw was the mutilated dead body at her feet. He placed his hands on her shoulders softly to reassure her that he was here, and he was going to look after her. She just recoiled away from the creature and into Riddick's arms. He grew worried, what if she had gone over the edge? She just kept repeating herself.
"Oh no, what did I do?" She whispered over and over. They moved to a smaller room adjacent to the one they were in, beginning to make a plan. Katy just sat there silent staring at the blow torch in the middle of the room.
"Katy, are you ok?" Jack asked Katy. She just shook her head.
"If I don't stay calm and try my best to stay as me, I could kill everyone." She said and the tears escaped her eyes. Riddick didn't even speak, he just went to her.
"Riddick, is she gonna be ok?" Jack asked sounding worried. Riddick just shrugged his shoulders. He honestly didn't know, he could sense her feelings and it was bad. She seemed to have a whole new side to her and he didn't like it one bit.
They had to help her control herself. Every time she even thought of one of those creatures she could feel the beast within her taking over. Little by little it was edging its way to the surface. Challenging her. Daring her to fight.
"How much do you weigh Johns?" Fry asked. Johns looked confused.
"What's it matter, Carolyn?" He replied.
"How much?" She asked again.
"Around 79 kilos, to be exact." He said simply.
"'Cause you're 79 kilos of gutless white meat, and that's why you can't think of a better plan." She said angry. With that they came decided to go with Carolyns' plan, gather all the light in the ship and go back to the skivv. They were walking to get the power cells when Katy abruptly stopped.
"Katy, are you ok?" Riddick asked her.
"I can't go with you, I will lose control, I will kill you all." She said sadly.
"You are coming with us Katy." Riddick demanded. He had to prove to her that he could help her, that she wasn't alone in this. "I promised I would look after you and that is what I am doing. You just have to let me in." He said to her repeating the one line that had made her give in to pushing everyone away. A tear fell down her cheek and she hugged Riddick tightly.
"Keep close." Carolyn said as they were getting closer to the section of the ship where they had to get the power cells from. Riddick took Katy's hand and kept her close to him and made sure she was ok. Then they got to the part with the cells, it was dark so Johns asked Riddick to check if there were any creatures in there.
"What's it look like?" Johns asked Riddick growing impatient.
"Looks clear." Riddick stated. Everyone began to walk into the room and they shone their lights into the room. A creature screeched and darted towards them. Everyone dived to the ground to avoid getting hit by the creature. Johns was fuming.
"You said it was clear!" He yelled angry.
"I said it looks clear." Riddick corrected him, keeping his voice calm and low.
"Well, what does it look like now?" Johns asked him. Riddick smirked feeling smug and looked up.
"Looks clear."
