This chapter is dedicated to jadeg5 for being amazing and reviewing my story :)
Kat jerked awake with a soft grunt. She could feel that she was bound to some part of the ship and Riddick was sitting across from her. Turning her head to face him, Kat listened to his steady breathing trying to determine if he was awake.
"Riddick?" A growl was the only response given. Kat rolled her eyes in annoyance. He was angry with her because he felt it was her fault they had been captured. In reality it wasn't her fault he had tried to save her. Johns had gotten a hold of Kat first and used her as bait to draw Riddick out of hiding. They had always agreed to leave the other behind if they were captured. However for some reason Riddick had tried to free her from Johns clutches resulting in his capture as well.
"Come on you baby. You can't stay angry forever. It's not my fault you broke the rules." Riddick still refused to answer and Kat was forced to sit in silence, however she could feel his eyes on her.
After a few moments of silence, Kat could hear Riddick shifting his chains followed by a loud popping noise. She could feel his movements as he freed himself and worked on using a blow torch to free Kat. He yanked her up roughly before pushing her against the wall. Pinning her arms to her side, Riddick growled into her neck.
"Come on don't tell me you wouldn't have tried to save me."
"You put too much faith in my loyalty Riddick. I would have let your ass rot if it meant I got to be free." Riddick let out a bark like laugh as he released his hold on Kat's arms.
"You don't put enough faith in your loyalty Kat." Rolling her eyes again, Kat followed him through the hole in the ship. A shiver ran through her spine when Riddick ran his fingers down her spine. She felt his presence leave and she could hear him walking towards the east.
"West it is." Kat turned in the opposite direction. They always had the same plan, split up to prevent both being captured. The plan wasn't always fool proof but it worked well enough.
"Johns! They're gone." Fry ran out of the empty ship to see Johns already inspecting an abandoned bit lying in the dirt. Walking up to him, she watched him stare off into the distance.
"We'll have to split up to go after them."
"Don't you think they'd stay together so they don't get lost?"
"Naw. They always split up. Makes it harder to find them both. If this is Riddick's bit, he'll have gone East which means Kats this way." Fry didn't understand how he'd know that but she wasn't going to argue with him. Johns was a cop, which meant he knew what he was talking about.
"I'll take Riddick. Take your gun with you. Remember don't let her blindness fool you. She'll take you out with one blow."
Kat smelt her before she heard her. Fry was radiating so much fear, Riddick could probably smell her from where ever he was. Sidestepping around the rock she was leaning against, Kat waited for the captain to pass her. As the woman shuffled pass the blind convict, Kat made her move.
"You're not doing a good job of hunting me." Fry spun around fumbling with the gun Johns had given her. Kat laughed softly at the clumsy captain.
"Stay right there or I'll shoot."
"You'd shoot a poor innocent blind woman? How heartless."
"I'm not stupid. Johns told me about your tricks." Kat shook her head as she stepped forward. Her foot mad contact with an unseen rock sending the convict to the ground. With a grunt Kat smacked into the dirt and didn't get back up. Fry gasped as she dropped her gun, running to Kat she fell to her knees to see if she was alright.
"Are you…" In the blink of an eye, Kat had Fry pinned to the ground holding the gun to her face.
"I thought he told you about my tricks. You shouldn't trust a convict Fry. Especially a blind one." Off in the distance screaming could be heard catching Kat's attention for a moment. It only took one second of hesitation for Fry to gain the upper hand again. She spun around pulling Kat to the ground. Grabbing the gun from her hand, she pointed it at the blind woman.
"Don't. Ever. Do. That. Again." Fry pulled Kat to her feet and led her back to where the ship was. As they drew closer to the group, both women could feel that something was wrong. Johns looked up to see Fry leading Kat towards them and he let out a loud laugh.
"Look at that Katherine, you let a pilot capture you. How pathetic." He took hold of Kats arm roughly and threw her against the ship. Fry glared at him for his comment as she handed him his gun.
"You don't have to be so rough with her."
"You never underestimate a convict Fry. You're lucky you made it out alive. Riddick already got someone."
"So that's what that scream was huh Johns. It's a pity someone died, but I can tell you it wasn't Riddick."
"And how do you know that? You weren't there Katherine." Kat only laughed at his comment before shaking her head.
"I have my ways."
