Adelayde watched from afar as Riddick and Johns walked off to talk. She could hear everything being said and she was not pleased with the subject of their conversation. They were going to get rid of one of the group. She knew Johns was going to suggest Jack and herself, but she knew that Riddick wasn't going to get rid of her. She was an Alpha, and two Alphas could not be destroyed. Jack on the other hand, was too weak to put up a fight. Adelayde handed Fry her cocktail torch and gently pushed Jack between Imam and Fry.
"Don't get too close. Stay together, I'll be back shortly," she said, heading off into the darkness to get a closer look at what was going to be happening.
If she had to, she would put Riddick down, but Johns was on her black list. He was going to die, and she was going to enjoy every second of it. She snuck up close to them, dispatching a few bioraptors on the way, leaving their scent on her. She was pleased with the result, seeing as how the bioraptors now ignored her. She snuck closer, just beyond the edge of the light. Johns and Riddick started their fight, and she knew that Riddick was going to win right off the bat. Johns was still on his high. She watched closely as Riddick easily over powered Johns, his large muscles rippling in the green light of the flare. She inched closer as the flare started to die out, her body moving like that of a great hunting cat, her movements graceful and absolutely silent. She snuck up on Johns and Riddick, watching as Riddick made a large and deep cut in Johns back. Once Adelayde knew that Johns was going to die, seeing as how Riddick was backing away from him as the bioraptors started to gather around. Adelayde snuck over to Riddick as he disappeared into the darkness, and once she was close enough she launched herself at him. He was shocked at first, but the moment her scent mixed with that of the bioraptors reached his nose he relaxed.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked, his arms wrapping around her waist.
"You were going to let him die all along, weren't you?" she asked, her cat eyes staring deep into Riddick's metallic ones.
"Yeah. He was attracted to you, and that I couldn't allow," he growled, setting her back on her feet.
"Oh really. And why is that?" she asked, her voice turning husky and low.
"Because you are mine," he purred, lowering his head and kissing her roughly.
She gasped against his mouth, her hands fisting in the material of his tank top. His large hands squeezed her rump, pulling her against him. She purred as he ground his hips into hers, his mouth leaving hers to trail wet kisses down her exposed throat and to her collar bone. She heard the bipraptors closing in on them, her blood drawing them. She pushed against his chest and he pulled away.
"We need to get to the light," she whispered, taking hold of his hand and jogging towards Fry and the rest of the group.
She could hear Riddick purring behind her, apparently just touching him made him happy, or sexual aroused, but she would take either one. Riddick paused behind Fry, scaring her as she turned around. Adelayde went straight to Jack, giving her a small hug and taking a torch from her. The group continued on towards the canyon, and Adelayde prepared for a fight to the death.
Adelayde showed Imam, Fry, and Jack over to a small cave that she had used the last time that she had been on this planet. Riddick closed them in with a large rock. Riddick gently pushed Adelayde forward, making her lead the way back to the skiff. She knew his plan, at least she thought she knew, and was already saying her good byes to the three in the cave. Riddick was grunting and growling as he pulled the four fuel cells behind him up a slippery and muddy hill. Adelayde winced as mud was pressed into her wound, the bandage long gone and her pants too torn to keep it covered. She kept moving, not wanting to fall behind. They made it to the skiff, and once Riddick had the cells hooked up and the skiff sealed, he grabbed her and pinned her to the floor. She gasped as she stared up at him, his expression fierce and hungry. She purred up at him, her silver eyes heavy lidded and her scent spiking with arousal.
"You're playing with fire," she purred, her hands sliding up to his shoulders seductively.
One of his muscled thighs slid between hers and she gasped when his knee brushed against her hot core. One of his large hands slid down to her thigh. The scream of pure pain she let out made him lurch away from her and pull out a knife. She rolled onto her side, her hands clamping around the bleeding wound on her left thigh. Riddick growled angrily and got up to search the ship.
"Dammit! I can't find a med kit anywhere!" he shouted from a side room.
"Forget it then! Just get something to wrap around it!" she shouted back, biting down on the meat of her hand to hold back her groans of pain. Riddick wen to the pilots seat and froze when he saw Fry standing outside with a bottle of glow worms.
"Stay here. Don't leave this ship," he growled as he lowered the back ramp and headed to the top to meet Fry.
"Yeah, cause I can totally walk all over the whole fucking planet with my wounded leg," Adelayde snapped, making Riddick smirk and pull his goggles over his eyes as he turned on the lights.
She struggled to focus on what Riddick and Fry were saying, the pain in her leg growing in intensity. She really didn't want to be weak, but with the amount of blood she had lost she wasn't surprised at her lack of mental capacity.
Adelayde woke to find Jack and Imam staring down at her. She blinked rapidly and groaned in pain. Her leg felt like it was on fire.
"Where's Riddick?" she asked, closing her eyes again.
"He is still out there, we don't know what he is doing," Imam said quietly.
Suddenly Riddick's shout of pain and anger echoed back to Adelayde's ears. She heard Fry sprint off into the dark and she tried to get up herself. She could smell his blood and it terrified her.
"Please stay put, your wound is too great for you to be moving around," Imam said, gently pushing her back to the floor of the ship.
"Get the fuck off me. He needs my help," she growled, shoving Imam off and giving Jack a hard look that said to stay put.
Adelayde limped out into the darkness, drawing the bioraptor's attention to herself. She didn't care if she died, she had to save Riddick. She didn't know what was driving her to so willingly give up her life to protect a convict that only wanted sex from her, but she couldn't fight it. It was in her instincts to protect an Alpha, and protect him she would. She found Riddick and Fry at a small stack of metal containers. Riddick was wounded in the leg, the blood loss more than she thought it was. Fry was trying to get him back on his feet, but he kept falling. Adelayde watched with sad eyes as Fry was carried away by a bioraptor. Riddick fell back to the ground and shouted out to Fry. He was repeating what Fry had said to him right before she died. Adelayde limped out to him and helped him back to his feet, her scent must have triggered something primitive in him for he growled and pulled her into his arms and scanned their surroundings with his metallic eyes. She reached up and touched is handsome face, drawing his gaze down to hers.
"Come on Riddick. Let's get back to the ship," she whispered, wrapping an arm around his waist and helping him back to the skiff.
Imam and Jack were waiting anxiously for Fry's return with Riddick, as well as Adelayde, but when they saw that Fry was not coming back, they slunk back into the ship with tear filled eyes. Adelayde helped Riddick into the pilot's chair and then closed the back door to the skiff, locking out the bioraptors. Adelayde strapped herself into a chair as he prepared the ship for takeoff. Jack and Imam did the same, and once they were off the god-forsaken planet, Adelayde let her mind slip into unconsciousness.
