(Harry's Thoughts)
~Riddick's thoughts~
"Talking"
Chapter 17
Finding their way back wasn't hard, not with Riddick taking the head and leading them back. Not much was said between them all, most of them were lost in their own thoughts, Fry stayed at the back cursing Harry with her thoughts as she watched both men.
Harry paid no mind to the glare he felt burning into the back of his head, he was on edge, and he wasn't the only one, the closer they got to where the cell were he could, along with the others, hear what sounded like fighting coming from the darkness. It sounds like a feeding frenzy and they all knew what they were feeding on.
Coming up to the cell they worked fast, Riddick and Imam grabbed two cells each, though Suleiman moved to help his father pull his load.
Shazza, Jack and Ali grabbed what was left of the bottles from the sled and passed them around. Harry stood at the edge of the light looking out, he had a really bad feeling about what was to come and for the life of him he couldn't pin point why.
"Are you alright there, Harry?" Shazza asked, coming to stand next to him.
"Hmm… Yeah, just a feeling I've got." Harry said, not taking his eyes off the darkness.
"Good feeling, I hope. I don't think we could take another bashing right now." Shazza said, half joking.
Harry turned and smiled at her, "Don't worry, Shazza, we will get through this. I didn't save your ass just so it can be eaten later."
They both looked at each other before laughing, lightening the tension that had been around them.
"Come on, let's get out of here." Shazza said turning back to the group.
Harry nodded and turned back as well, but before he took one step he half turn back as a screech came from behind them. The grip on his light tightened as he heard the whoosh of something flying at the edge of the darkness.
He knew death was waiting in the shadows for the next one to be claimed and he was going to make it damn sure it wasn't one of his group. Fry, he couldn't give two shits about, but the others he would make sure they saw the light of day again.
Damn sure.
"Harry!" Imam called, "It's time to go."
Harry turned away from the darkness and walked back to the others, it was time to leave.
Riddick shot a look at his mate before shaking his head, he'd find out later what was causing his mate to be so on edge for now they had to get out of there before the creature finished eating their meal.
Riddick turned to Imam and nodded at him to get moving, they walked as quickly as they could away and back on to the path to the canyon. It took them less time than they thought to get to the start of it as it was just beyond the boneyard, though the closer they got to it the more on edge they became. This was the last leg then it was skiff city all the way.
Coming to a stop Harry felt dread go through him as he looking down the darkened path that laid before him, he could feel death even closer than before, even his magic was buzzing underneath his skin.
Looking back at the group he knew it would not be an easy run, especially with them all tired from their sprint from earlier. Riddick seemed to know what his mate was thinking as he put down his harness and turned to the others. "Rest, all of you, this isn't going to be a walk in the park."
"Why can't we go now? Why wait!? Those things could get us at any moment!" Fry questioned, she didn't want to stay in the open like this; not after what happened to Johns.
"You want to go? Then go." Riddick said, waving his arm to the start of the canyon.
Fry said nothing, just looked at him with her eyes begging him to follow her.
"That's what I thought." Riddick rumbled, dismissively before turning and walking away.
The others looked at each other before doing as Riddick said; they needed all the energy they could get for this dash for their lives.
Harry stayed with the others as they sat close together around their lights.
"Shall we pray together?" Imam asked them.
Shazza hesitated for a moment before nodding; a prayer wouldn't hurt. Not with everything that has happened already, even though praying hadn't saved her Zeke and losing him had nearly killed her, if she had been a weaker woman she would have been angry at Harry for saving her, but she wasn't weak and she will live on even if it meant without her Zeke, he would of wanted her to keep fighting till she was off this hell hole. Bowing her head with the others she listened to Imam as he prayed out loud, it was soft and soothing and she felt a little at peace hearing his words, though she couldn't understand them, but she prayed inside her mind for the others, for the children that shouldn't have ever had to face something like this in their lifetime, and she prayed for Harry, if it weren't for him, a lot more of them would be dead, little Ail and her wouldn't be standing here right now.
Finishing her little prayer she looked up, not far from them stood Fry looking at them, 'no, not them.' Shazza thought as she catches the glare she was sending Harry. It worried Shazza with the way Fry was acting towards him. Ever since they crashed on this planet Fry had this hatred for Harry, she had noticed it when Fry forced Harry down the hole to find her Zeke, at first she thought nothing of it, but she couldn't deny the hate and jealousy that showed in those blue eyes every time they looked at both Harry and Riddick when they stood together, she knew of petty jealousy from women when she was dating her Zeke, but what she was seeing in Fry's eyes was (cut) darker and more sinister compared to those girls and she felt fear for Harry, he had saved her life and had done nothing but help them get to this point and she knew that if anything happened to Harry. Shazza swallowed and looked over to where Riddick was working, she didn't want to think what Riddick would do if his mate was… it didn't bear thinking about.)
Shaking her head to clear her distressing thoughts she turned back to face Imam and listened as he said his prayer.
Harry was also praying with them, he may not believe in god after what he had been though all his life, but he prayed for the others. They didn't deserve to be on this hellish planet. However, he prayed the most for Imam, the poor man had lost one of his sons to the darkness and that had to be hard for the man. He remembered hearing Johns' comment, that had made Harry so pissed at the time, he was glad the sick prick is dead now and after all this maybe Imam and his son could mourn their loss.
Harry had noticed that after the poor boy's death that Imam had kept both Ali and Suleiman closer to him, Imam's fear of loosening them was clear to see, and Harry with all his power will try with everything he had so he still had two son to take home at the end of this nightmare.
He also prayed to mother magic herself, he knew that his magic only acted when it wanted to but he needed help, he could only do the spell to cover Jack scent once more and at this point he didn't know how much help that would be as those fucking things were intelligent enough to not be fooled anymore but hopefully it would confuse them enough to throw them off their hunt.
Looking around for his hunter he saw him walking towards what looked like old skeletal remains of one of the creatures, most likely killed by its own kind.
Food was food for them even if it was their own kin.
Seeing Imam get up and walk in Riddick's direction, Harry silently followed.
Riddick looked over the body, seeing part of its head was on the floor he pick it up and place it on the head, placing his hand on the other side, he study the head.
Staring at where the hands were and then looking right at the blade of its head something click inside his brain, "Blind spot." Riddick whispered.
"Shall we pray together?" Riddick span around to find Imam standing not far from him. He moved to sit in front of the cells and started on tying the ropes to them.
Neither of them seemed to notice Harry hiding behind the bone wall.
"I have already prayed with the others." Imam explained dropping to his knees beside Riddick. "It is painless."
"It's pointless." Riddick said coldly, not caring how he came across to the Holy man.
Imam said calmly, "Because you do not believe in God does not mean God does not believe in..."
But Riddick didn't let him finish, the anger inside him too great, though he let none show on his face as he spoke. "Think someone can spend half their life in the slam…with a horse bit in their mouth and not believe?"
Looking at Imam from the corner of his eyes, he could see he had the Holy man's full attention. Tying the cells to one rope he continued his story. "Think he could start out in some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and not believe?"
"Got it all wrong, holy man… I absolutely believe in God." Riddick finished the last knot and looked up at Imam, hard faced. "And I absolutely hate the fucker."
"He is with us nonetheless." Imam tried again, he let none of what he was thinking show upon his face as he heard this man's tell, Riddick had a hard start in the world but there was still kindness in him, maybe deep in his heart but he wouldn't of kept them all alive this long if there wasn't a better man deep inside, no matter how he had been touch by darkness blacker then what already surrounded them, he still had light in his heart.
"One of your boys is already dead." Riddick frowned, before asking, "How much faith do you have left, father?"
Imam did not answer, just continued to look at Riddick before nodding his head and getting up.
Riddick watched the man leave before he looked down at the power cells his mind on his past. It seemed now two knew of his past, he didn't know how to feel about that.
"Riddick?"
Riddick turned and saw Harry step out from behind where he had been hiding. "Ease dropping, Vixen?"
"He was only trying to help, my Hunter."
"Praying to God isn't going to help us, Harry. Even with your gift we'd be lucky not to lose three in that canyon. And no God is going to do shit to help us." Riddick said pissed, he turned away to look at the monster waiting beyond the light.
Harry walked up to Riddick and placed a hand on his back, he could feel the tension running though Riddick's body.
"I believe in one thing, Riddick." Harry whispered.
Riddick turned to look into glowing green eyes.
"That we will make it out of here." Harry moved his hand to touch Riddick cheek with his fingertips. "Together."
Riddick surged forward and claimed Harry's lips with brutal force, Harry didn't even have time to gasp as his mouth was devoured, Riddick put all the emotions he was feeling into that one kiss and Harry took everything, holding nothing back from his mate as he shared his own feelings; the fear and worry when Riddick was fighting Johns, when he had to leave him, everything.
Their lips parted, but they didn't not move away from each other, their breath mingled as they panted.
"Well… that's defiantly an incentive to make it out of here alive." Harry panted out amused.
Riddick smirked smugly as he looked at his aroused mate. But sadly there wasn't time for play. "We'll finish this later, Vixen, go do your mojo on the girl so we can get out of here."
Harry laugh before stepping away from his mate. "I'll hold you to that Riddick." Harry said Sincerely walking away, he put a little more sway in his hips and grinned cheekily when he heard the growl from behind. (You're so much fun to tease, my Hunter.)
What neither of them saw was the burning rage in one Carolyn Fry's eyes.
Seeing them together like that sent the blood roaring through her veins, all she could think about was getting rid of that disgusting freak of nature, then Riddick wouldn't be under his charm because there was no other way that the freak could get Riddick's attention.
She followed Harry to the others, Jack was sitting on a rock, next to her was Ali and Suleiman, Imam had taken a seat next to his boys after talking with Riddick and Shazza sat opposite of them with her arm resting against her knee. They were all taking the time to rest and get there energy back, their bottles of light in the centre, it looked like a mini campfire.
"Jack, come here I need to block your scent again before we do this." Harry said to her.
"Okay." Jack got up from where she sat and walked over to him.
Imam asked. "What are you talking about, my son?"
"I'm confused. What's 'scent blocking?'" Shazza asked, having never heard such a thing being done before.
"I didn't say anything before back at the ship, but I used some of my power to temperedly block Jack's scent from the creatures." Harry explained to them.
"And you didn't think to say anything back then?!" Fry shouted in rage. Now she had him, with this the other would finally see that this freak was evil and shouldn't be anywhere near normal people like them and Riddick.
"Well, Fry..." Harry said, though his tone was like he was talking to a small child. "I didn't think it would have been a very smart idea to say anything as we had a drugged up merc with us, who would do anything and use anyone to get his payday, what do you think would have happened if he knew I was more and I seemed, huh."
"Then why the hell didn't it work! We all heard Riddick say they had been nose open for her since leaving the ship." Fry fired back.
"Because you bloody bitch it doesn't last long and they weren't just going for Jack here or have you forgotten Paris." Harry said angrily back this bitch was getting on his last nerve.
"That's another thing I want to know; I saw a green light back there, at first I thought it was the flair but it came from out where Paris had run off to! What the hell was that?! And don't say it wasn't you because you were missing when the flares were lit." Fry shout at Harry, she knew this freak had something to do with all the strange things she had been seeing.
"I don't know whether to be flatter that you pay so much attention on me, or freaked out by it, Fry." Harry said simply.
"You didn't answer my question." She gritted out.
"Magic."
"Magic, my son?" Imam asked, deep in thought as he tried to remember something.
"Huh?" Jack looked on confused.
"Are you fucking kidding me." Fry yelled. "There no such thing and if this was true, then why didn't you help when everything went to shit."
"Oh, I don't know, Fry. Maybe because I'm not the fairy damn godmother! It works when it works or have you forgotten what I said back at the ship when I told you about my vampire/elf abilities." Harry said pissed off that this bitch wouldn't give it up, he was not going to tell her about the killing cures.
"Is that what you used back at the ship?" Jack asked
Harry took a deep breath to calm his rage. He didn't want to blow up at one of the kids, "Yes, I used my magic to place a fine shield over your body that filtered your scent, so the smell of blood did not go through. I put it on you again after losing Paris, so I can only do it once more."
"Why is that?" Jack asked again, she was filled with question about this 'magic'.
"It's a long story, but the short of it is I have been asleep for a very long time before getting woken up, I notice my magic was weird, I still don't know why it isn't working as it used to, but feeding from my mate seems to help it work normally."
"So feeding from Riddick helps?" Shazza asked.
"Yes, luckily I fed back at the ship when I did. It would be too dangers to do so now." Harry said looking around, he could just make out the start to the canyon. He could also smell the monsters hiding there, waiting for their meal to come to them.
"This is all bullshit, I can't believe you're falling for this crap." Fry sneered at them.
"What is your problem, Fry!? If Harry can use his gift to help us I don't see the problem," Shazza commented looking at Fry like the woman was losing her mind, though with everything that's been going on she wouldn't be shocked if Fry was. She hadn't been acting right since Johns told them her secret.
"If he has all this power why did he keep it secret for so long." Fry said smugly, knowing what she said was true, if he was so powerful why didn't he help them before.
"You heard him, Johns was unpredictable, and you had no way of knowing what the guy would have done if he knew about Harry." Shazza defended, getting pissed off with Fry's attempts at undermining Harry's skill. God damn it this guy saved her life and she was not going to turn her back on that.
"Are you part of the Wizard clan my son?" Imam asked out of the blue.
Every one turned to look at Imam. Harry looked at him confused before saying. "No Imam, what is the Wizard clan?"
"It is a clan of magic user that visit many planets, many think of them as a brother or sister clan to the Elementals, I met one on my old home planet, he used what he called magic to clean his home and pour us drinks. I remember well now."
"He used magic?" Harry asked his heart going a hundred beats a minute, if what he was hearing right then there were other Wizards and Witches out there.
"Yes, we spoke much of his travels I remember him saying something about him and his kin where looking for something, a key or seed. I can't remember all the detail as it was so long ago."
"Key? Seed? I haven't heard of that before but to know that my kin still live to this day. I can't believe it." Harry whisper.
"Why haven't I ever heard about them? Have you Shazza?" Jack asked.
"No, though there were rumours here and there, but I thought it a Fairy tale told to kids." Shazza answered.
"That is because they keep themselves hidden so not to be used by others for their gifts, it was lucky even I got to know one." Imam explained to them.
"So you haven't meet one Harry" Shazza asked him.
"No, I thought I was the only one left after I woke from my sleep on earth. It was dead of any magic, so I thought they had all died off. If it wasn't for that dig going on I wouldn't have gotten off the planet."
The others looked at him with sadness, both Imam and Shazza knew that earth had been abandoned years ago and only archaeological digs visit the planet now.
Fry on the other hand couldn't believe that they were all fine with the freak being a wizard. Didn't they know that wizards and witches were meant to be feared? They could make you do whatever they wanted with a wave of those sticks they carry.
"What the hell! If he was a Wizard wouldn't all the other's be alive and we would be back on the skiff by now instead of out here in this hell hole." Fry shouted at them making them jump at the sheer volume of her voice.
Harry cleared his thoughts of the information Imam had given him, he would ask him more on it later. It was time to put this bitch in her place.
"Get this through that tiny little mind of yours, Fry." Harry growled taking a step towards her. "I. Am. Not. God!" with each word taking one more step towards her until he was in her face.
"Do you think for one minute that we would still be on this planet if I had the power to get us off of it! Have you not been listing to anything I've been saying! My magic isn't working as it should be! GOT THAT! Now shut that pie hole you call a mouth and leave me alone you crazy bitch." Harry hissed in her face, he could see the fear she had for him in her eyes but he really didn't care, he wasn't putting up with her shit when they still had the canyon to go through.
Suddenly there where echoes around them, the creatures where getting more excited with all the anger in the air, Ali let out a whimper, digging deeper into his brothers side in fear, Suleiman held his brother tight, looking around at the surrounding darkness, his fear evident in his eyes.
"I do believe we must get moving soon." Imam said looking at the darkness, he moved to stand behind his children.
"Jack, come here. We need to get that shield on you now." Harry order, moving away from the freak out, he would deal with her later, but for now they needed to get moving.
Jack nodded shakily; stepping in front of him she closed her eyes like last time. As the strange feeling came over her again she said, "It still feels weird."
Harry chuckled, "It will, Darlin', you are not accustomed to the feeling of magic."
The others looked in awe as a light glow covered Jacks skin.
"Pretty." Ali said. Imam face was a mask of awe at the light it was like nothing he had seen the other Wizard do, he also felt proud that Ali had said his first word in Common.
"Is this his first word in Common?" Shazza asked, looking away from Harry and Jack, to Imam. She was curious to know if he had seen the other wizard do anything like this, but seeing the look of pride on Imams face, as he looked at Ali, she couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I have been teaching it to them as we make our way to our new home." Imam explained.
Harry smiled at the little boy, it nearly made Harry wish for one of his own, maybe in a few years he and Riddick would be in the right place and save enough to have a few of their own, Harry had to grin at the thought of him telling Riddick he was having his child, he hoped he had a camera ready, though he could always use his Pensive instead.
Shaking his head clear of his thoughts of the future Harry turned back to see Imam hug Ali and give him praise, and in that moment Harry knew he would do anything to make sure that Imam didn't lose any more children to those beasts that plagued them.
If any more blood was to be spilled tonight it would be theirs.
"If you're all done playing," Riddick said as he stepped into their light, making every turn to him. "It's time to go."
Harry's happy mood left at those words and around him all the others grew tense, it was time to run.
-0-0-0-0-0-0-
Picking up the Cells, Riddick lead them to the start of the canyon, they could all hear the creatures inside, waiting.
"Only see one way." Riddick said before pointing straight ahead. "That way."
Everyone looked to where he was pointing, two rock cliffs facing each other, so high that they couldn't see where they both finished, And only one clear path through.
Harry could smell the fear coming off everyone as the echoes got louder.
"It's the only way off this rock." Riddick said before turning back to look at Imam and Shazza, "Just keep the kids between you."
Imam and Shazza nodded, moving Jack and Ali to the middle of the group, with Suleiman following to stand by his father.
Tightening his bag over his shoulder, not wanting to lose it Harry took point using the bottle and the flashlight to lead their way through the canyon.
"What about the cells?" Fry asked suddenly, her tone tense, she watched Riddick walk towards them her face like stone. Harry hearing her turned and looked back at his mate.
"I'll take those." Riddick said simply, looking at her before turning to looked at where his mate was and shared a look before turning back to pick up the Cell line.
Putting his goggles down over his eyes, Riddick said "Move."
"Are you sure you can keep up?" Fry asked concerned. Harry wanted to slap the bitch, but knew this was not the time to let his emotions get out of control again, though that didn't stop him from gritting his teeth at her stupid question.
"Move!" Riddick shouted and Harry shot of into a run, the others following close behind.
Harry could hear all the echoes around them as they ran, Imam and Shazza kept Jack and Ali between them and Suleiman stayed close to his brother. Fry was to the left of Harry wanting to take point but at the same time wanting to be safe.
As they ran towards a bend a group of hatchlings flew out from it. "Get down low, LOW!" Harry shouted back, lifting his torch up to keep the little fucker away.
They could barely move forwards as the hatchling swarmed around them, Harry could hear Shazza whimper as it wasn't long ago those things nearly killed her. Some got too close and the flames from the torches lit them on fire. Behind them Riddick dodge the little fire balls.
"IT'S NOT ENDING!" Fry yelled as more and more came at them.
"They must be looping around!" Shazza shouted back.
"HARRY!" Riddick roared from the back.
Harry hearing him, knew what he wanted him to do, forcing his magic he raised hand up into the air, as it rose a flame from the torch jumped from the torch to his hand, to the others it looked like his hand was on fire, they stared in awe as the hatchling steered sharply out of the burning flame way, feeling the magic build in his body, Harry took a deep breath.
(Let this work.) Harry prayed.
"AHH….." Harry let out a scream as he released all the magic he could into his fire, with a blast, the fire shot forwards like a flamethrower, it consumed everything in its path, burning all the hatchling around them.
When it was over Harry leaned forwards panting, his hand burned slightly at having channeled so much magic through it.
Around them were burned corpse, and the air was filled with screeches of pain from those that got out of the way in time to not be killed but still burned badly the adult creatures could be heard screeching as they grab up their young to eat them.
Though Riddick could tell how tired his mate was he knew they had to keep moving, "Harry!" he yelled out.
Hearing him, Harry stumbled forward, but before he could fall Imam and Shazza grab him from each side. Nodding to them in thanks, Harry pushed his exhaustion aside and moved onwards.
They pushed forward, once more, having survived the first wave.
Suddenly something started to rain down on them, Harry looked down to see blue liquid running down his arm.
"Do not look up" Riddick ordered from behind them. Harry listened and ran on helping Suleiman when the boy tripped over a rock.
"Do not look up!" Riddick yelled and Harry looked behind him to see Shazza had not listened to Riddick and looked up.
"They're killing each other!" she exclaimed in shocked, Riddick knocked her forward out of the way as a body fell down.
"Keep moving!" Riddick yelled at her.
Dodging the bodies falling all around them they pushed on, when Harry thought it couldn't get any worse it did.
Around another bend there was bones blocking there way. More bodies of the creatures fell around and on the bones making it harder to see a way through.
"Riddick!?" Harry called out, he couldn't see a way though.
"Move!" Riddick called back coming up behind them. "Keep moving!"
Riddick got to the front and started moving bones out of the way, Imam moved to help as Harry and Shazza used there lights to keep the creatures away. Fry kept looking up as more bodies fell to the ground.
Once it was clear Riddick went first dragging the Cells behind him, Imam went next pulling Ali with him,
"Go! GO!" Harry yelled as he pushed Shazza and Jack under the bone arch. "Fry come on!"
She crawled under but not before throwing Harry a dirty look. "Suleiman!" Harry called to the boy, but when he went to go under one of the creature's bodies that was next to the hole wasn't dead yet it shot forward and grab the boy's leg.
Suleiman cried out in fear and pain as its claws cut into his leg.
"Suleiman!" Imam cried grabbing for his son over the bone. Shazza moved to help as well leaving Jack to hold onto Ali, Fry looked on for a minute before moving to help.
Harry grabbed the blade Riddick gave him and slashed at the creature's claw trying to make it let go.
The creature cried out but didn't let go its hunger stronger than its pain. The Suleiman yelled even more, grabbing at his father arm doing so he let the bottle he had been holding dropped to the ground smashing.
Breaking it caused a flame big enough to make it let go. Giving Harry the opportunity to slash at its neck and kill it.
"Pull him through!" Harry called. Imam pulled his son under the bone and after putting the Shiv away Harry crawled through. He looked up to see Riddick moving ahead but wasn't worried, he knew if Riddick kept stopping for them he wouldn't get them back to the skiff. No matter how strong his hunter was, carrying so much weight was draining his strength.
Ali shot away from Jack and run to see if his brother was okay, leaving the girl on her own as the others tried to bandage the bleeding wound.
She turned to watch Riddick moving away from everyone, all that was going through her mind was that Riddick was leaving them.
"Riddick, wait!" Jack called out. "Riddick."
Harry looked up to see where Jack was and noticed she was alone. Looking up he could see one of the creatures dive down at the girl.
"JACK!" Harry yelled before running towards her, Jack seeing it yelled and scrambled as fast as she could underneath a large bone using it to shield her as she desperately attempt to escape the monster. Harry was too late as it landing on the bone and started to hammer against it with its bladed Head.
"SHIT!" Harry moved as close as he dared and started to slash at it as well as use his torch to get it off her. "Get off of her!"
Shazza ran over with her torch and started swing it at the creature. "Get off of her you bastard!" she screamed
"Riddick!" Harry screamed in pain as the creature used its tail to slam Harry into a wall, braking the flashlight in his other hand.
Riddick hearing this turned sharply and saw his mate down. Taking off his goggles and dropping the Cell rope he shot back roaring to get the creatures attention on him.
Slightly dazed Harry looked up in time to see the beast turn away from him and fly at his roaring mate as he charge towards them.
Riddick caught the beast's clawed arms keeping its bladed head from getting him, with all his strength he held it back, thinking quickly he moved its arms back until he could hold both with one hand giving him enough time to grab his shiv and slash at its underbelly. Its entrails spilled out as it screamed in pain, it fell back to the ground and Riddick grabbed its head and snapped its neck.
"He did not know who he was fuckin' with." He said calmly, at the shocked looks on Shazza and Jack's faces.
(God, that was hot.) Harry thought as he was helped up by Ali.
Riddick did a quick check to make sure his mate was fine before looking to Jack who was being held by Shazza.
Imam helped Suleiman to his feet, when Harry looked down at his bandage leg he knew the boy was going to need help to move let alone run.
Fry was staring at Riddick with a look that pissed Harry off, but as the echoes got louder around them he knew they had to move, now.
Again they set off into the night.
Riddick took point this time and the others followed. If they weren't in so much danger Harry would be taking in the view of that lovely firm ass, he still remember grabbing said ass when Riddick was claiming him. (Get your mind out of the gutter, Harry, or your luck will run out) Harry thought as he ran, looking at the other he saw Shazza looking after Ali and Jack, Imam was helping his oldest son to run and Fry was looking around them in fear, he really needed to take that bitch out soon. He knew that girl would sell both him and Riddick out to mercs.
Suleiman cried out as he fell down to the ground; Imam fell beside his son trying to get him to stand. Harry moved to help the boy up. "Come on, get him up."
Imam picked Suleiman up into his arms, when things got worse.
Suddenly they all felt something dope down on them, at first Harry thought it was blood again but it wasn't warm as before it was cool, looking up Harry sew it was raining,
Rain of all things, Harry felt despair as the flames on their bottles started to sputter and die, Shazza and Jack tried the save the flame by putting their hand over it.
Harry's head shot towards Riddick as the man let out a deep laugh as he turns towards them. "So, where the hell's your god now?"
They moved quickly over to where the wall had some covering. Shazza and Jack relit one of the touches that had gone out they were down to three now all half fall, Harry made Ali move over to them as he help Imam put tighter bindings on Suleiman leg. Standing up he looked around him as the rain fell down heavy there was no way their light would last in this down pour.
"Riddick!" Harry called out. "Are we close?! Please tell me its right there, my hunter."
The sounds around them got louder making Harry back against the wall beside Suleiman, the fear he felt down in the hole was back, but stronger. Harry called out to his mate. "Just tell me that the settlement is right there!"
"We can't make it." Riddick said lowly looking at the monsters fighting in the dark.
Harry looked down in pain at his mate words, there was no way for all of them to get to the skiff without more light and not with Riddick carrying the Cells.
(Don't give up Harry, think we can get through this.) Harry thought as he looked around him when his eyes fell on Fry who was looking at him. The expression on her face sent confusion though him, she had a smug smile and looked pleased as her eyes went upwards looking at something above him. Suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck stood up in fear.
His head shot up, but it was too late. He felt the tail wrap around his neck and pull.
"RIDDICK!" Harry screamed as he was dragged up the cliff side.
Riddick's head shot round and saw his mate disappear. "HARRY!" Riddick roared, rage and pain shot through him as he caught the last sight of his mate.
"HARRY!"
