(Har De Har, To answer some of your questions/comments. How can I sleep, knowing that my readers are suffering? Very easily, Actually. In fact, it's hard to wake me up XD. Love you all. Who was it? Well you'll just have to read this chapter. Not like You didn't plan on it, but yanno, for your information n.n You were ready to hate Scythe? Well, like I said...Don't worry. :evil smile:)

"No..." he whispered, "No No NOOOOO!!!!" He yelled, racing to the side of the acid pit.

Jack was already staring, eyes wide. How could this have happened? How...How....HOW?!

But it was too late for thoughts now. Scythe's body was already burning in the pit of acid.

Todd dropped to his hands and knees, hearing Scythe's screams, watching her try to writhe and escape her fate.

"Todd! You have to make it! You have to avenge....SOPHIE!" Her last word came out in a blood curdling scream, as the feeling of a thousand demons ripping apart her soul consumed her body and mind.

Todd's eyes were filled with tears, and he slowly shook his head, "No...no...How can I live? How? It's not right...not...not right for me to live, when she's dead. I can't...I can't."

Riddick grabbed Todd's shoulder, yanking him forcefully to his feet, "No time to mourn, we have to get to the hanger. You ain't allowed to die, until I get Jack to saftey. Then you can do whatever the hell you want."

Todd yanked his arm away.

Jack swallowed hard, taking one last look into the acid pit.

Riddick grabbed her wrist, yanking her back on course, "Come on Jack, Don't quit on me now..." He continued to lead the way bravely to what may be the last time he ever saw Jack.

He wasn't sure if he could do this all with just three people.

But he knew one thing...

He had no intention on letting Jack die.....

They'd have to kill him first.

Todd stumbled after them. It was his wife's dying wish...

How could he be so selfish as to not fulfill it before taking his own life?

Jack swallowed, looking down. How could it have been this way? They started off with 6 people...and now there was only Riddick, herself, and A broken man...

It could have been different.

Why wasn't it different?

"Riddick." she called out to him.

"What is it?" He didn't bother to look back.

"Tell me....Why does bad things always happen? Why can't it ever be...be good..."

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because life's a bitch, and then you die."

She looked down in silence, following after him, keeping up his pace.

She did have to admit, she was getting sorta tired. But she rather drop dead then let Riddick see her weakening.

"Do you think...people have a purpose?"

"...." He sighed, but of course she couldn't hear him. "Listen to me Jack, whatever you're asking, Whatever your reason is for asking....If it's despair, and doubt, just shutup. We're gonna get through this, I promise you that. Chat later, kick ass now."

Jack managed a small smile.

Chat Later. Kick ass now.

The concept was so simple, yet the dealings of it was so hard...so very very hard.

Why did he have to make life seem so simple?

Why did Richard B. Riddick make life seem like a child's game.

Todd listened to their conversation, while following, a dead man.

A broken man.

A shattered man.

"Life's a bitch, and then you die."

Damn him.

Damn him to hell.

Na na, na na na, na na

I miss you, miss you so bad

I don't forget you, oh it's so sad

I hope you can hear me

I remember it clearly


The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

Ooooh

Na na na na na na na

Her face.

How could he ever forget her face?

The look on her face as she slipped backwards into that abyss.

Her face.

How could he forget that look?

The look of absolute, and complete terror.

Her face.

How could he forget her eyes?

He had only seen her eyes look that way once before.

Her face.

How could he have forgotten the way her eyes looked, back on that sovern day?

The day their daughter was murdered...

I didn't get around to kiss you

Goodbye on the hand

I wish that I could see you again

I know that I can't

Oooooh

I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

Ooooh

Her footing.

Why did it have to be so wrong?

Her footing was always perfect.

Her footing.

Why did she have to step on that rock at the wrong angle?

She was always so careful.

Her footing.

Why couldn't she have been more careful?

What a cruel kick in the ass.

Her footing.

Who knew one mistake could cost you your life?

She didn't know...she never knew...

I had my wake up

Won't you wake up

I keep asking why

And I can't take it

It wasn't fake

It happened, you passed by

Her death.

Why did she die?

She wasn't supposed to die.

Her Death.

How did the pain feel?

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

Her Death.

Did she die, knowing how much he loved her?

It was all so fresh in his mind.

Her Death.

You know those times, you fuck up, and wish you could go back and change it, to make it all better again?

This...This was one of those times...

Now your gone, now your gone

Her face.

There you go, there you go

Her footing.

Somewhere I can't bring you back

Her death...

Now your gone, now your gone

Todd...

There you go, there you go,

Why'd it have to end this way?

Somewhere your not coming back

Todd...

The day you slipped away

Why did she have to die?
