Chapter 2 Meeting the Natives

Hmm, it only took 22 weeks for something to go wrong. New record for me, normally takes 4 days at the least, one week at the most. Oh sorry for those joining back with us we just passed through a meteorite storm, the captain is dead and who ever is flying is loosing cargo holds and HOLY FUCK THE BASTARD IS TRYING TO DROP US!! I can see the red lights flashing, hear the alarms ringing, and at that moment I knew we had entered Cluster F.

After about 15 minutes we finally crashed, not the nice little rumble plop, but the rough dirt-flying, metal shrieking, need new underwear, crash. As a true testament to how stupid noob mercs are I was strapped in just like the other civies, no extra restraints, hell the only reason he caught me is because I was asleep and he injected me with strong ass sedatives.

I made my escape by kicking out my door, unhooking my straps and scuttling out of the chamber like a deranged bug. Ahh felt good to stretch, I quickly bypass all the other cryo-chambers only coming to a brief pause at the high security cryo box . . . that was empty. I Knew this was going to be a fun trip, I wonder if I should find him? Nah. I will just wait until I can kill what's his nuts, the noob merc.

I start snooping around all the broken wiring looking for any gizmos that I could use when I see this nifty little cubbyhole that I could fit into. Perfect. After stuffing myself into the little niche I start plotting ways to kill Tardo when I hear and see . . . a pair of legs trying to strangle some guy with red hair.

Hmm the red haired dude has the feel of a seasoned merc, which means he automatically gets a spot on my Shit List. Ok he just started beating legs with a collapsible baton so not fair, what did legs ever do to him, besides try to choke him? Oh hey, the legs are actually attached to a body, a very delectable body, whom is Mr. Primal himself.

I can't help but to take another scenting of him; wild musk, city bazaars, and . . . blood with peppermint schnapps? Huh well I'll be damned, that's not something you smell every day. Oh hey they disappeared, not fair I wasn't paying attention! Meanie heads.

"What are you doing?"

"Yipe," Thud, "Ow, I'm ok!"I say as I adjust from thwacking the crap out of my head. "Why are you hiding in that hole?"

I turn to give a scathing remark to the nosey bit . . . kid? With mixed scents. Hm why didn't I smell them before? "I'm looking for something I lost,"no way I was going to tell them the truth.

"Do you need any help?" "Sure why not, I'm looking for a lime green duffel bag." The kid smiled a grimace, "Um the captain has it outside with the rest of the passengers and she is trying to . . ." the kid never got to say the rest of that particular sentence as I flew out of the cubbyhole and hull.

Before I made out of the ship entirely I heard voices "God are you talking to me again?"

"No, ok I promise I won't yell."

"Ok, Johns, I was escorting Amelius Wick to Veldin, and now she has escaped."

"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU WERE ESCORTING AMELIUS WICK!?"

"Dude hush!"

"Don't tell me to hush up, you let Amelius Wick escape and now she will probably free Riddick and slaughter us all for fun!" I couldn't help but to snort at that thought, unfortunately it gave me away and next I knew was neon orange with aquamarine polka dots.

When I came to I could feel my arms chained around something warm and firm . . . and breathing. "No me gusta." I mumble and nuzzle into my 'ball'¹. The next thing I hear is a deep rumbling sound that wakes me up. My head went from 0 to 125 I jerked so fast. My first thought when I saw Riddick was that my butt feels numb.

"Well smack monkeys!" I exclaim while pulling on my chains. He inhaled semi deeply, catching my scent, which is weird, cause I figured he wouldn't waste any time with killing me, which got me to thinking. This planet, which is mostly desert, wouldn't be able to support ice cream, it would melt into liquid which would be easier to drink, that set me off on another tangent on how this place has no bathrooms which led to my current predicament.

"Well don't go on me!" that startled me out of my thoughts. "Huh" I stated with a dumbfounded look that has put many a blonde to shame.

"If you have to go to the bathroom then get off of me!"

Forgive me I have to have do an outside my mind rewind. Lets see: staring off into space, staring off into space, talking, more space, oh here we go "I have to pee."

Let me dish out the facts, I have A.D.H.O.S.O. Attention Deficit Hyper Ooh Shiny Object. If I don't take my meds then I regress to the mental state of a five-year-old, bluntness and all.

"Well Mr. Clean if I could undo my chains than that would solve 2 of my problems at the moment." I hear and feel a deeper rumbling and realize that he is growling at me! At this my heartbeat quickens. "Aw, ya scared?" he sneered at me.

"For your information Richard you don't scare me."

He cocked an eyebrow and replied in a scathing tone "Then why is your heart racing?"

At this question I put a twinkle of mirth in both my smile and eyes and told him "Because you amuse me!" He apparently wasn't very thrilled with this answer, I think I may have taken his male ego down by .02 points. Score

Now because of who I am and the fact that I knew it would piss off Riddick, I slipped the chains from my hands, letting 'em fall off, hopped up off of him, turned around, walked out the door, and threw back a shity remark "See you latter Dick!"

As I step out into the light I hear a snarl 'kekekekeke, victory! Now to get my bag.' I look to the left of the ship, I look to the right of the ship, no bag, so I look around the back of the ship, bingo, bag ahoy. As I reach for the bag something catches my attention, why its my dear friend what's his nuts all alone and unprotected.

I smirk to myself, perfect. With stealth gained from hunting in every climate of my planet I edge right up behind him with my most dangerous weapon in hand, my . . . fingernail file? Oh well it still counts as a weapon.²

Quick as a blink I jump on his back and stab him through his voice box "Peek-a-boo Bitch!" I snarl.

The last sound he makes is a pitiful half yell/gurgle "Aughl!" Returning to my bag I grab a case and take out my glasses and a scrunchy. Pulling my hair up into a ponytail and putting my glasses on disguises me pretty well, now time to go mingle.

End Chapter 2

Serin Sykes

Yup her name is Amelius and if you read the story of the vampirate that's where I got it.

I would like to thank my first reviewer, Wistful-Dreamer, 'twas because of them that I stayed up till 4 finishing this chapter.

¹from the concept of ball and chain

²the kind that have the pointy end for cleaning under the nails, and yes they do make good weapons my mom stabs my dad with them all the time.

I home the length of this chapter makes up for the shortness of the first one.

Never play leapfrog with a Unicorn.

Edit note: rearrranged somethings in here as well maybe its kinda easier to read?
