4. The Surrender
"I've got enough blood on my hands. I don't see the need to add more." She was scared.
'True that may be child, but we haven't fed in over 3yrs. If we don't … well I don't have to go in the gory details do I?'
"No, you don't, but I can't do this, not in my current state. Would you… what if I let you take care of it?" She had to make a decision fast. It looked like the armed men were going to hurt the pretty one.
'Cant let them hurt our Moon Eyes can we?'
"NO!"
'If you let me go, I won't stop, I'll kill all of them without a second thought. Can you live with that?'
"Yes"
With that surrender, she lost control of her body; her actions from that point on wouldn't be her own.
Looking down from her spot on the rafters she noticed something odd.
'20 hardly seems a necessary amount for one man, don't you think?'
"Now you're the one stalling. Just get it over and done with so that I can have my body back." She had a bad feeling about this but she needed the blood.
'Hmm, very well.'
A slight pain in her mouth let her know her fangs were breaking through her gums. It had been so long since she'd bared them. Licking the blood from her lips, she glanced down to choose her first target.
'The skinny one first. Hmm, he's easy pickings.'
Riddick had lost sight of her a few seconds after Burgo had struck him.
'Where'd you get to little girl? Couldn't have left that quickly?'
Then he looked up and realized that was the stupidest thing to have done. He saw her alright, but all that he could see in her eyes now was red, glowing red eyes the color of blood.
"Oh Shit!"
