Chapter 11 From one darkness to the next.

Imam and Jack sat huddled around the second bottle filled with glow worms, praying whilst I settled in for a nap.

In no time at all I was floating in dreamland. I saw myself chained next to a gothic throne, with spiked pillars at either side. On the throne, staring out into an abyss, sat Riddick. He looked as Badass as ever, but shadows lurked where few had before.

I blinked my eyes and ended up in a shower, hot water cascading in rivulets down my body, along with large hands trailing up and down my sides, one resting on my hip, the other ghosting across my breasts. So focused on the hands I barely felt his lips on the back of my neck. Leaning back into the hands and the kiss I close my eyes and feel him turn me around, his hands coming up to cradle my face.

I lean into his hand and open my eyes to look into his. I could see his eyes, pure molten silver flicker to and from my eyes to my lips, as he slowly lowered his head. Riddicks lips, so close that only whispers and sighs could pass, descended closer to mine. As our lips were to touch, I catch a rumbling sound at my back, Jerking around, I lunge forward, gasping to awareness.

"Sonava Bitch," another damn dream, Hearing a chortle I look up and see Crunch Master 3000 and Riddick standing just inside the niche.

"I knew you'd come back," Tran-Jack said with a smug little smirk.

'Hm, Crunchy with a side of Dick, I wonder how well it would sell as foodstuffs?' Quickly shaking the horrendous picture out of my head, I grabbed my bag and made my way outside with everyone.

Once outside the niche we formed a line, linked hands and ran like the seven hells. We wove in and out of bones, as our boots sloshing through the mud, all the while as Bio-raptors circled and screeched above us.

After a few forevers we broke through the darkness and entered the encampment, with the skiff there in all its patchwork glory. Imam and Hack boarded the Skiff first, with Captain Crisp stepping up after them. Taking a step forward onto the ramp, my tail bristled out, telling me that something was not right.

I noticed Crunch run back out into the darkness, and took note that Riddick was not within hearing distance. Moving out of my speculations I see Papas Fritas round a building, scant seconds later I'm coming up to them. Riddick looks wild, in a Prey sort of way, and Spud is holding him.

"I said I'd die for them, not for you, now come on!" Fry said right before one of the Raptors swooped down and gutted her.

'Damnit if only I had been faster!' raced through my head as I saw Riddick fall to his knees and scream into the abyss.

"Not for me, Not for me!" with his grieving he didn't sense, or see the lone Bio-Raptor sneak up on him.

The Bio-Raptor pounced to Riddicks unprotected back, but this time I was fast enough. What started out as a running leap morphed into a flying tackle, then shifted into an all out brawl, with claws, wings, and tails thrashing about. Finally after getting a swipe across the things face, I grabbed its scythe like tail and stabbed the fucker with it. The Bio-Raptor's greatest weapon turned out to be the best thing to kill them with, talk about irony.

After kicking the thing off, I got up and stood next to Riddick. "Hey come on, we need to get the others off this planet, it's the least we could do for Carolyn Fry."

Riddick slowly stood up, his figure cutting an imposing sight in the rain. Without saying a word, he started for the ship; Up the ramp and towards the controls, Rage enshrouding him. I followed after with the sounds of hungry screeches following me.

Imam sat on one side of the skiff, Jack on the other, whilst I stood behind Riddick. Imam clutched his Rosary, "With so much prayer to make up for, I scarcely know where to begin"

Jack, glancing back at Imam, replied softly "I know where I'd start." With those words Riddick started to fire up the engine.

His hand on the thruster, Riddick sat there for a moment, contemplation written all over his face. Finally coming to a decision, he shut down the ship.

"Riddick, what are you doing?" Jack all but whimpered out.

Riddick did not answer her right away, his eyes staring out into the darkness. I could hear and sense the Bio-Raptors surround the skiff, my mind coming to the same thought as Riddick.

"Can we just get the hell out of here now?" You could taste the fear rolling off Jack.

"We can't leave," both Riddick and I conveyed, "Without saying good night." With this Riddick pushed the thruster and blasted through the cannibalistic fuckers.

Once off the planet I slid into the co-pilot seat and released a sigh. "Riddick, Once we get back to the lanes, whoever picks us up will have a shit load of questions. And if it's a Merc ship, Flaming shit will hit the fans."

"So what the hell do we tell them about both of you?" Jack interrupted.

"Tell 'em Riddick's dead," He turned to stare at Jack, "He died some where on that planet."

"My question is, how will they deal with us?" everyone looked at me "civilian or military punishment?"

"What's the difference?" Jack piped up.

*"Military punishment is doing close quarter drills, civilian is getting drilled in close quarters." Noisy bugs could be heard all over the skiff. I don't know how, really, I don't, but they could be heard. Well Shit my meds are wearing off. 'I'm sad about Fry… All those potato jokes gone to waste.' Sigh.

"have you completely lost your mind?!" "One or two times, yes, but not recently"

Ok sorry about the wait, as most of y'all know writers block is a bitch! But I'm kinda sorta back with a vengeance, after 2 tries to write this chapter I finally just sat down and wrote.

*And for the last bit of what Amelius said, my dad originally told my mom's boss, said boss proceeded to walk funny.
