Chapter 1

He laid his head on the masculine shoulder, feeling nothing but safe and calmness as strong arms wrap around him, he never thought something like this would ever happen to him, not after everything that had happened, but it did.

His name is Harry Potter and this is how he met his sliver-eyed mate and changes the future.

Hear his story…

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Codey was working in the kitchen, even though she knew her master would eat little of it she worked hard in making the meal one of her best. Anything for her master. As she finished up she felt the wards signalling that someone was at the door. Popping over there she opened them to see who had come. Her master didn't get many visitors and sometimes none at all, but when she sew a goblin standing there she recognized him as one of her master's friends; Lord Jaxlyx Goldblade, the high lord of the goblins who oversaw all the banks in the magical world.

Opening the door wider she bowed to the lord, she knew what this was about, "What can Codey do for you, Lord Goldblade?"

"I need to see your master." Jaxlyx said to the little house elf.

"Codey will let master know," she said as she let Lord Jaxlyx into the Forte, she gave another bow before she said. "Please wait here, sir."

Popping out of the room she reappeared, with a silent pop, into another room this one was dark though, the curtains drawn, there was no furniture in the room, except for a throne like chair that faced a large burning fireplace.

Codey knew this used to be the old master's chair. It had been his most loved place to sit and read his many potions books.

Now the chair belonged to her master, it was the only thing that master wouldn't have packed away, not until it was time for him to go.

"What is it, Codey?" Her master asked tonelessly, not looking away from the burning flames.

"Master's goblin lord is here to see him." She answers him.

A pale hand rose from the arm of the chair and took hold of the goblet that had been floating beside it.

"See him in," her master said as he took a sip of the red liquid inside the goblet, before he let it go and it once more floated to rest beside him.

"Yes, Master." Codey said, bowing to him before popping out again. She hoped whatever news the goblin lord brought would make her master happy; he had been sad for too long.

Popping in front of the Lord Jaxlyx, she bowed and said, "Master will see you now. Please follow Codey, sir."

Turning to the chair she asked, "Master, is there anything else that you and Lord Jaxlyx Goldblade be needing?"

"No, Coddy, you may leave, but thank you," the master said, making the house elf beam in happiness before she popped away back into the kitchen.

"Still liking the dark I see, old friend," Jaxlyx said as he gestured towards the dark room.

"The dark is where I am meant to be; for so many years it has been this way." The master said monotonously. It made Jaxlyx feel for his friend.

"But do not forget, my friend, you are also of the light. Please do not hide in the darkness too long," Jaxlyx said. He knew that his friend needed to be out in the sun more. Being ensconced in darkness wasn't healthy. But he also knew it wasn't as easy as it sounded. It was impossible for his

friend to go anywhere without being harassed by those that either wanted to praise him for what he had done, or attack him for what he was.

The master nodded his head, but said no more on the subject. It was an old argument they have gone over many times. All his friends and allies have said the same thing.

Waving a hand another chair appeared beside his, and he waved his friend over to sit. As Jaxlyx did so the master asked him, "How are the plans coming along?"

"Straight to business, I see," Jaxlyx said, not bothered by the subject change. "Well, I am happy to say they have finished and everything has been a success."

"And it works?"

"Please do not doubt goblins' building skills, old friend, and I over saw everything myself. It is ready," Jaxlyx said.

Jaxlyx didn't take offense to his friend questioning the goblins' capabilities. With all that he had been through he had trouble putting faith in the world around him.

"So many years I have been waiting to rest," the master said, and for the first time since walking into the room Jaxlyx could hear hope shining through his friend's melancholy.

"And you shall, my friend. No one but you will be able to enter once you have added your blood to the wards, you can be at peace." Jaxlyx said reassuringly. That had been his friend's main worry; that outsiders would enter his resting place and disturb him.

"Thank you, Jaxlyx. You have been with me for many years and have never let me down. There is no way I would be able to repay you for this," the dark being said looking over to the goblin.

"Is this really what you want, my friend?" he asked. He had to be sure this was what his friend really wanted. Once he entered his resting place there would be no turning back.

The master nodded his head, his dull eyes showing he pain and loneliness he was drowning in. "I am so tired, so very tired. I wish to rest without anyone coming to me about another dark lord taking over their world. I don't want to be used to fix their every problem any longer.

"It is your world, as well," Jaxlyx argued half-heartedly. He knew his friend was right, though he wished it wasn't true.

"Not anymore, my friend. This world and the people in it have changed so much, and not for the better. No matter how much I've tried to make them see reason greed and power have taken over, and I no longer want to watch as the world I once loved falls further and further into the hands of the corrupt."

Jaxlyx sighed. He knew what his friend was talking about, and looking into this dull eyes he knew he couldn't and wouldn't stop his friend from fulfilling his wish for rest. It was time the world stood on its own instead of seeking aid from him. "I understand. You will be missed, my friend."

"Only those that truly care will understand why I am doing this," the master said.

"And we do, this has been a long time coming. We could all see it in your eyes, my friend. In a way we are already missing you. You have lost much of yourself over the years, and even though there was sadness in your eyes you still smiled, but now…," Jaxlyx broke off as he looked into lacklustre green eyes. Those eyes had once shone like emeralds when their owner had been but a young

goblin. However now, looking at them, they were lifeless and defeated. The last few years had sapped his friend of his will to live leaving only a listless, world weary creature in place of a once strong and vivacious wizard.

Reaching over he patted the hand that rested on the armrest of the chair "All the preparations have been completed. The magic that flows through the structure is strong, but it will fade over time, so we have made it so that as you rest it will feed off the flow of magic you'll put out. Nothing has been left to chance with your safety," Jaxlyx said reassuringly.

"Thank you, Jaxlyx."

"The goblin nation owes you a life debt for what you have done for us. Not only that, you are a friend to us, and we do everything in our power to make sure we help are friends."

Jaxlyx watched as his friend smiled for the first in time years, and he knew that he and the others were doing the right thing.

"Thank you," the dark being whispered, and there were so many emotions in those two words that Jaxlyx smiled and patted his friend hand, again.

The world was going to face a great loss, but it was time for Harry James Potter-Black-Lupin- Snape to rest.

And Jaxlyx Goldblade would make sure that he did.

Many years later

Floating through darkness, you can see so many things. Some things so pleasant they can make your heart sing with joy and others so painful, they make you weep with all-consuming sorrow.

Darkness can be your friend, or it can be your enemy. It doesn't care if you experiences its darkest horrors that would drive you to the point of insanity, or the true beauty and comfort that could be offered from of its too often feared embrace.

But one thing you can always expect from darkness is for it to bring to light the events of your life; the treasured memories linked with warm and comfort; the hated memories linked with pain and suffering.

After all, darkness is indifferent, to what you experience in its embrace.

One such being laid in the darkness embrace. Deep under the surface of a barren land that was once the lush with forests, this being slept inside a tomb, a being that shouldn't exist, it had been undisturbed for centuries.

This being was once known by many. Some hated him and some loved him, but all feared him.

He was Harry Potter.

Dreams…

Harry smiled as he watch his dad, Remus, make his mate blush. It had been a shock to many

when Remus had started to court Severus Snape, of all people. Many had though he would get with Tonks, but he remembered that Remus had never taken with the girl. She had been angry as hell when the news of the courting had reach her.

But Harry was just happy his dad was happy. After all those years with the pain and loss of his pack he now had them as a new pack.

It was going to take time for him to get used to having his sneaky potion professor as his papa, but, for his dad, he would get used to it.

"Harry, come on, we have some shopping to do!" Remus called out.

"Coming dad!" Harry called out and rushed towards them.

He had never been happier having a family at long last.

0-0-0-0-0-0

Harry didn't know if he should be shocked or pissed, as he stared at the blonde standing in front of him with bags beside him.

"Now, I know this is a shock, Harry, but Severus is his godfather and he couldn't leave Draco in that house. Now that his father has passed, his mother would have handed him over to Voldemort before the night was out." Remus explained calmly to his son. He knew the two had history together, and not the good kind, much like Severus and him but if he could come to love his mate so could they.

Harry took a deep breath. He knew that Malfoy's father had been killed by the Dark Lord, and if what his dad said was true then Severus was all Draco had in the world now, "Okay, I can deal with this as long as he doesn't go out of his way in pissing me off."

"Like I am finding this anymore a joy than you, Potter." Draco sneered.

"No, boys. You both will be staying here for the summer, so please get along." Remus nearly begged. With the war going the way it was he didn't want either boy out there where they could be hurt.

Both of them looked down at the ground and away from his pleading face, and nodded.

It will take time, but Harry managed to get used to Severus, even like him, he can do same for Malfoy.

Harry had been sleeping soundly when pain, like nothing he had ever known, shot through him, he came awake with a scream.

He withered on the bed as pain overwhelmed his senses.

He didn't hear his door fly open and Draco rush into the room like Voldemort himself was at his heels. Harry couldn't hear over his own screams the panicking boy crying his name.

His mind was too far gone as his bones broke and reformed, his skin split around his old scars and heal over leaving not a blemish, his blood rush through his veins at a speed that would kill a normal human.

He was oblivious to Draco yelling for Dobby and ordering him to get their fathers, who had gone away for the night.

All he knew was pain.

What felt like hours were minutes as he body change and became something that every being in the world through was imposable.

His fathers rushed into the room just when it stop and Harry fell into unconsciousness.

0-0-0-0-0-0

Harry sat on the window seat and looked out at the snow covered grounds of his family's home. It had been a few months since that night and so much has happened in that time. He and Draco had become close as brothers. Seeing him in such pain had shaken the blonde boy terrible, and after that they got to know each other and had found they had a lot in common.

That wasn't the only thing that had change in his life. When he had come to, his dad and papa had to explain what had happened to him. He never thought fate would make his life even crazier. When he had been told he was a hybrid he had freaked out thinking that they would throw him out and no longer love him, but they set him straight very quickly. His papa had even threaten to turn him into potion ingredients if he ever thought of something like that again.

But after calming from that, they had told him that he had done the impossible; he was a dark and light creature. something that had been thought to be impossible, but it was what he was that was the most shocking thing; he was part elf a light being and part vampire, a dark being.

He had gotten the magical genes from both his parents, James and Lily Potter. From the Potter line, it was the vampire's gene. From the Evans line, the Elf gene, it looked like his mother wasn't a muggle-born after all.

But the sad thing was that Vampires and Elves hated each other, it was only due to a treaty that they weren't at war all the time. And because of what he was they couldn't ask for help from either of the species. From what his dad said, both sides would try to have him killed for what he was.

(That's all I need, more people trying to kill me...) Harry sighed, at the moment the only people who knew what he was, were his dad, papa, and Draco. But he knew that it would get out sooner or later. He didn't even want to know how his friends were going to take it. But as long as he had his family behind him he could face anything.

"Brooding again, Harry?" A voice said behind him, jolting him out of his thoughts.

"I am not brooding, papa." Harry said, turning to see his papa standing in the door way. He couldn't help pouting at the brooding comment.

"Well, if you have finished your non-brooding, it's time for your lessons." Severus said, smirking at his son. Both of them knew he had been brooding again.

"Ok." Harry sighed and got up, following Severus out the room.

"GET OUT!" Remus roared, his amber eyes glaring at the two that dared to make tears fall from his son's eyes.

Severus had his arms wrapped around their son, holding him close as the poor boy sob into his chest, and that made the werewolf even more angry, 'How dare those two think to say such things.'

Seeing that the two brats hadn't moved and were about to opened their months again, Severus grab his wand and waved them out the door and dumped them out of the front gates.

"Pay them no mind, Harry, they aren't worth your tears. True friends would never be upset over what you are," Remus said, coming over to them and wrapping his arms around harry as well.

He is right. They are jealous and petty. More like Peter Pettigrew than true Gryffindors. And your other friends didn't care what you are.

"I just thought they would understand." Harry sob out, "But all they care about is what they could get by being my friends."

"What are you talking about, Harry?" Severus asked, though he had a feeling he knew what Harry was talking about. He had heard Remus before they had taken the boys out of school.

"I knew before school let out that they were only my friend because I am the boy who lived." Harry said, looking at his dad and papa with pain filled eyes.

"Then why?" Remus asked confused as to why his son let those to prat into his home.

"Cause I didn't want to believe it," Harry whispered.

"Oh, Harry," Remus said, tightening his hold on their son.

All three stood in the living room, Harry sandwiched between his fathers as he cried out his pain and hurt.

It was going to take time for him to get over this, but with his family around supporting him, he would be fine eventually.

The war was getting worse, neither he nor Draco could go outside the manor anymore, as Voldemort was upping his attacks in search of him.

Knowing this, his dad and papa were training him and Draco in everything they knew. Today they were learning how to go into their Animagus forms. Harry had been looking

forward to this all week, even the gruelling mind arts lesson they had in preparation to learning this didn't get him down.

The potion that they had to make was ready.

"Well boys, drink up." Remus said, smiling at them. Beside him stood his mate Severus, who wanted to see what there boys could turn into. There was no way that they didn't have an Animagus form, not with how powerful they both were.

Harry and Draco looked at each other before downing the disgusting potion. After doing so they had to wait a few moments before anything happened.

Just as Draco was about to open his mouth to start complaining, a cloud of grey smoke appeared in from of him, beside him the same thing was happening to Harry. Both watched and waited with bated breath to see what they would become.

A few moments later the form of two animals appeared. Harry couldn't take his eyes of his own. He didn't know what it was, but it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

As the images faded, Harry and Draco couldn't help smiling. And seeing those big grinning faces made Remus laugh.

He remembers a time so long along with two other boys that had the same look on their faces, he didn't think of the other that had been there.

"Well done, boys," Remus said, "But now the hard part starts. Knowing what you are is only the first part in becoming an Animagus, the rest is even harder."

"You both will be given homework on what your animal is and how they live." Severus said, "You will have to know them inside and out before we ever try the transformation, and I better not catch either of you trying work on it on your own."

"Yes, sir." Draco and harry said at the same time. Even out of school their papa was a scary man, but that didn't stop them from being so happy that they were going to become Animagus.

They had a lot of work to do.

"This is the end for you, Potter." Voldemort laughed, his death eater joining in with their master.

Harry sneered as he watched his dad get manhandled over to dark lord. They had been taken by surprise. The wards around their home fell and within seconds the dark lord and his followers entered and captured him and his dad.

"But before I end your life, I think I should make you witness the end of this mutt's life." Voldemort smirked as he waved his hand towards where two Death Eaters were standing, holding Remus Lupin-Snape.

"No..." Harry breathed as his dad was dragged towards Voldemort.

"Harry, always know that I love you and I'm proud of everything you have accomplished," Remus said, his eyes filled with love for his cub.

"No! You leave him alone!" Harry yelled out, trying to get out of the grip of the two Death Eaters that were holding him back.

"How sweet. It's just sickening, isn't it?" Voldemort said to his death eaters before raising his wand to point it at Remus.

"You will get what's coming to you, Voldemort," Remus sneered before his hands turned into claws and he used his strength to break free from the men holding him. He knew he was going to die, but he was going to make sure he took the two bitches that hurt his family with him.

And with that he swiped his hands at the throats of Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, slitting their throats. As blood rained down on him he saw, out the corner of his eye, a green light shooting towards him and heard his cub cry, then he knew nothing.

Harry stared in shocked as his dad's body fell to the floor, his once vibrant, amber eyes turning dull and lifeless.

"Stupid fools." Voldemort sneered as he cursed the two that had let the werewolf get free. It was because of them that he had lost two of his best inner circle death eaters to the mutt's claws.

Harry saw none of this, he couldn't take his eyes off his dad. (No…) Harry mind raced, his blood boiled.

"No." he whispered, but no one heard him. They were watching their master.

Harry knew no more, his mind broke at seeing his dad's death and losing another parent. His blood rushed through his veins; power burst out and blasted the men holding him away, getting the attention of the dark lord and his men.

"What-" Voldemort didn't get to finish before he watched as his enemy changed before his eyes, and fear entered his heart.

"NOOO!" Harry roared, his voice more animal than human, his hands became claws and looked as deadly as any werewolf's. His clenched teeth grew deadly fangs, ears pointed and poking through his wild hair.

But what made the Dark Lord and his death eaters fear, were the blood red eyes that stared at them with rage and bloodlust.

And that was the last thing any of them saw before a powerful roar rang through the manor followed by screams.

Harry slowly blinked the red haze from his sight. He didn't understand what was happening at first, but suddenly memories came rushing back. Letting out a sob he looked around him,

there were bodies all round him. Some were torn into pieces and some were mangled like a wild animal had attacked them. Harry couldn't believe what he was seeing, then his eyes landed on the one body that wasn't bleeding, his dad's.

Letting out a whimper, he crawled over to Remus and wrapped his arms around his dad's cold form.

Sobs shook his form as he cried into his chest; he wanted his dad's chest to rise and fall like before; he wanted to hear his dad's steady heart beat that always comforted him; he wanted to feel his arms wrap around him and tell him everything was going to be ok.

But none of this happened, his dad's form laid still and lost its warmth.

He paid no mind when he heard to pops behind him, or the gasps of shock.

When arms wrap around him and tried to pull him away from his dad, he fought them, he didn't want to leave his dad.

"Harry," a pained voice called out, more like begged.

Turning his head he saw his papa's tear stained face beside him, "Come to me, Harry, he… he is gone."

"No," Harry sobbed out. "No, dad isn't gone. He can't be."

"Oh, my son." Severus said sadly. He pulled Harry away from his love's cold form and into his arms. His heart hurt so much, but he had to help their son. Remus would have wanted him to make sure their son was okay.

"Papa..." Harry cried out in pain. He felt like he was dying inside.

Severus pulled Harry tight to his chest and rocked him back and forth.

Another pair of arms joined them. Draco's tearful face appeared and Severus wraped both in his arms, he had to be strong for them.

All three sat beside Remus, letting their tears flow down there faces as they mourned the passing of a great father and mate.

Dreams End

Harry's still form showed none of the emotions he felt from his dreams. No happiness, no pain.

Years flowed by and he didn't stir from his sleep, the Boy-Who-Lived, the one that took down one of the most powerful dark lord, Lord Voldemort, had lived the life of love and pain, but his story had been told many times. It was now time for another to take its place.

Harry Potter was to be freed once more, for above his tomb a storm raged, its anger and rage scarred the land below it, moving the sand and dirt so violently it began to unveil something that hadn't been seen for years, the wards around this tomb kept it safe for so many years slowly dimmed and as the storm gave one last push in its rage, it broke the spell.

It was time for Harry Potter to wake once more and face his destiny.

On the Scrape Ship above old earth.

The ship was old, its paint with chipped and faded from being in space for so long and looked more like it was ready for the scrap heap, but its crew kept her going with patch up jobs and repairs. In the control room two workers were at their stations working the night shift as everyone else slept.

Captain Maz looked down at his work station, he was doing another swipe of the planet surface. There had been a sand storm that had blown through the area. He had to search to see if anything was uncovered by the sand storm.

He hated this part. It was so boring and there was nothing new at all, but he needed to feed his crew and keep this tin bucket going, though he had been thinking on moving on from here, old earth had been picked clear of many of its treasures, most had been moved to new earth.

Yawning, Maz was about to get up to get some coffee when his monitor started beeping at him.

Looking down in shock he didn't register at first what he was seeing, when the computer beeped again. He sat down and looked at what the computer had found.

"Don't get excited, Maz, could be junk again." he said to himself as he press some buttons to get a closer looked at what the computer had found. An image of part of a small building slowly appeared on screen, beside it was a list of what the materials it was made from.

List:

Marble.

He looked at the list in shock at what he was seeing, typing away at his keyboard he asked the computer to do another scan of that area.

When the scan was complete the image was still there. Turning, he called out to his first mate that was working at another station. "Hey, David, you need see this."

Once called, David walked over to his captain and looked down at the monitor.

"Is that what I think it is?" David asked in disbelief, looking at his captain in shock he looked back at the readouts, "A…tomb? But how? We've looked over this area a few times before and there was nothing. There's no way a tomb can just appear like that."

David reached over and typed the command into the keyboard again. The computer took another scan and the same results came up onto the monitor.

"This is impossible." David whispered, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"The computer's reading is right, there's something down there." Captain Maz said. He knew this was too good to be true, but the computer wasn't lying. They had found something that had been hidden for a hell of a long time.

"Get the team together. Looks like we hit a gold mine." Captain Maz ordered. They had hit the jack pot and they had to get down there as fast as they could before someone else found it.

Inside the tomb there was only one room. The marble walls had glowing crystal, the only thing that offered light, in the canter of the room was a bed, its frame was made from Obsidian and Diamond, on the soft feather mattress a dark beauty lay, sleeping, silk sheets covered the still form of Harry James Potter, the immortal.

So deep in his sleep, time had no meaning to him; only his dreams and memories, sometimes they were kind and filled him with so much happiness, and other times they were filled with pain and heartbreak.

They tortured him. The pain he felt from seeing the people he had seen as family betray him over and over again would have drove him mad if not for the memories of his dad and papa. Their love for him filled that empty place inside for some time, but that too would fade into darkness, memories could only keep you going for so long.

Darkness. That was all he had known for years since going to sleep.

But that sleep was about to end, for the wards that protected him for all these years have fallen, it was time for him to wake.

Awareness slowly came back to Harry. Blinking open his eyes, he cleared the blurriness to see he was in a dimly lit room. His brain was just starting to wake up when a surging hunger overcame him and he felt his body change as his blood lust became stronger; his eyes change from green to glowing red; his ears became pointed and his finger became claws. Letting out a growl his gaze swept around the room until it landed on a goblet sitting on a bedside table. Grabbing it up, his red gazed watched it fill with sweet smelling blood. Not waiting a moment, he rose the goblet to his lips and drank it down, not pausing for a moment to breath.

The goblet must have been spelled to keep refilling because it never emptied as he drank his fill. Slowly the bloodlust faded and he began to think clearly once again. Taking a few more mouth fulls Harry put the goblet down onto the table as he gasped for breath and closed his eyes as he got control of himself. His mind calmed and his hunger faded as the fresh blood rushed through his veins.

As his mind became clearer, he began to take in his environment trying to remember where he was and why he was there. Then it all came back to him; this was his resting place. He remembered paying the goblins to build a place where no one could find him, where he could rest and be alone in his pain.

Looking around, he saw the marble walls were dull and no longer had there sparkle like before.

(How long have I been asleep?) Harry thought to himself. Sitting up he turned to the edge of the bed and stood, only to have his legs give out from under him, dropping him back to the bed.

"Merlin, I am so weak," Harry said, though he was shocked to hear his voice so gritty and rough, (I have got to find out how long I have been here.)

Looking towards the table that was next to the bed he saw his wand in a glass case. Placing his hand over the lock he stared at his long nails, they looked more like claws with how much they had grown in his sleep.

He would have to cut those before he did anything or he would end up cutting himself.

Putting his mind back to what he was doing he ran his hand over the case, it let out a ping before

opening.

Grabbing his wand his ran his hand over the smooth wood. Though he didn't need it anymore it held so many memories that he could not part from it. Giving it a wave he felt the rush of magic flow through his veins.

His brow fell into a frown of confusion. Calling his magic again he waved his wand again this time he non-verbally cast the temporal spell. Slowly smoke poured from his wand. As he watched the smoke he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with his magic. It felt larger than before and wilder.

(Maybe it's 'cause I slept for so long,) Harry thought to himself as words formed in front of him. (It needs the chance to wake up.)

(Oh, Merlin's balls.) Harry eyes didn't take themselves away from the number that appeared in front of it. (How is this possible?)

His heart began to race and his breath became lodged in his throat as his brain tried to work out what he was seeing.

{08:36 and Jan 9 - 2696 }

(How can this be?) Harry thought. (Calm down, Harry.)

Harry took deep breaths. Closing his eyes he calmed his racing heart.

Waving the smoke away, Harry got up and moved over to where his bag was. It was a side bag with one strap. It looked like it was made from black leather, but it was the skin of a Basilisk that he had kill when he was 12. On the black leather was gold and silver stitching, to anyone else they looked like a beautiful pattern, but they were actually ancient runes that his papa had soaked in a special potion only he could make. He knew that he could leave this bag anywhere and it would find him.

Picking it up, he opened it and looked through it. Finding his potion case he took it out and quickly pulled out a calming draught, downing it in one.

Harry felt himself become calm once more, he needed to think logically about what was going on and panicking wasn't going to help him.

Looking around he saw that everything he took with him into his tomb was where it had been before he went to sleep, so no one had been here in all that time.

He could feel the wards that once covered this place were gone, he remembered his friend telling him that not even wards lasted forever without help, and with him being asleep he couldn't stop them from fading.

Walking back over to the bed he placed his bag on it, putting the black case back inside. He also put his wand back into its glass case and put that in as well.

Looking around him, he waved his hand over the room and all his things shrunk in size before they too moved into the bag.

He was glad his papa made this bag for him otherwise he wouldn't be able to take everything with him.

The room now clear, Harry planned his next move. He was thankful of the potion he had taken, or he would be panicking like there was no tomorrow right about now.

First he had to get outside and see what it was like around him, and then he had to find the closes wizard world opening and make his way towards a bank.

First though, he had to fix his appearance. He liked his hair long, but not this long. That was taken care of with a quick wave of his hand. Again, slowly his magic rose to the surface and cut his hair to his waist. With that done, he looked at his nails. Another spell and they were shorter and looked normal again.

All that was left were his clothes. Turning to his bag, he thought of what outfit he wanted and placed his hand on top of the bag. Seeing the bag get bulkier he knew that they had appeared inside. Opening it up, he took out a white shirt, black pants, boots, underwear, and soft socks. After getting changed he placed his sleep wear into his bag and closed it.

Looking his appearance over, he nodded to himself, the outfit was plane so he shouldn't stand out much, hopeful the worlds dress hand change too much.

He picked his bag up and put the strap over his shoulders. He took one more look around the tomb he had slept in for so long.

"Here goes nothing." He said as he walked towards the entrance. It was time to see what the world outside looked like.

Opening the door, he was nearly blinded by the bright sunlight that flooded the room. Closing his eyes he placed his hand over his eyes and took a step out into the bright light, blinking his eyes he got used to the sun once again, once his vison had cleared he looked out into the world.

"Merlin," Harry breathed as he stared out into his world. (I think I am going to need another Calming Draught,) Harry thought as he looked out into the rocky desert in front of him.

The once beautiful land was gone. Trees no longer stood tall around his tomb, sand and rock had taken their place.

It was like the world had reformed around him, but the one thing that scared him the most was he could no longer fell and magic around him. It was like the planet he stood on was dead.

(What happened here? How could this of happened?) Harry through confusedly.

Suddenly he heard a rumble come from the sky to his left. Turning he watched as a metal thing slowly came down.

(Now I know I have gone mad! I am seeing alien ships!) Harry thought in shock.

Moving quickly he ducked behind some rocks and watched as the ship landed on the sand. Not long after the hatch opened and Harry started in shock as he saw humans step out in strange outfits.

He watched as they took out strange devices and moved it around them.

Concentrating, he waved his hand over his ears, feeling it take he thanked the twins from coming up with a spell that let you hear over great distance, his elf hearing made it even easier.

"We'll have to get the gear down and to the tombs location," one of the men orders before turning to the one holding a strange devise. "Is this as close as we can land to the tomb?"

"Yes, Cap', if we landed any closer we could end up damaging the site." The slim man replied, not looking up from his devise.

"Well, we don't have all day. There's going to be another storm in a few hours, and there's no way we want to be caught out in that," the one known as Cap said, pointing towards what looked like a big black cloud. Even from this far away they could hear the thunder that was raging inside it.

Harry ducked down when the one called Cap looked in his direction. Slowly he moved back to his tomb. If those humans were looking for it then he had to get back to the tomb and make sure there was nothing magical left in it. He didn't know if muggles in this time knew about magic, but he wasn't going to take any chances if they didn't.

Rushing into the room he quickly got to work, waving his hand he thought of the room packing itself up and into his bag when nothing happened.

Again, his magic failed him. (What the hell is wrong with me? Maybe the magic in this tomb drained me more than it should have when the magic outside disappeared,) Harry thought. It was the only explanation he had as to why his magic worked one minute and failed the next.

Taking a deep breath he once again pulled his magic into his hand. Once he could feel it slowly build up there, he waved his hand again.

This time the magic left him and he watched as items flow into the air, the flap to his bag opened and items began to shank as they fell into the bag. (Merged to paragraphs. Have no clue what that means but I've separated them into new paragraphs)

Not a minute later the room was clear. The bedding and his bed were gone, and the goblet and table it had sat on were gone, too.

Grabbing his bag he placed it on his shoulder and quickly made his way out of the room.

Now he had to plan on how he was going to get information on what had happened to Earth. He also had to find some way to get onto that ship and out of the area. If that storm was as bad as those hard men made it out to be, then he didn't want to be around when it hit.

Reaching down he grabbed some of the sand and rub it in places on his white shirt and black pants, once done and he gave himself a once over. He was happy with the look, his plan was to look like he had crashed his own ship on the planet, was in need of a lift, and with the help of magic it should work.

Hearing the men coming closer he stayed hidden as they entered his tomb, he watched as one man stayed out and took scans of the building.

This would be his chance. With the way his magic was working at the moment, he needed to see if it worked on one person before trying it on the whole group.

Coming out from behind the rock he was hiding behind he called out to the man, "Help!"

The man spun around and looked at him in shock, "What the hell!?"

"Please, can you help me?" Harry begged, coming closer. He was close enough to smell the man's scent and was shocked that there was a hint of arousal there, when the man took in his looks.

His raven black hair and slim build had always made many stare, though it was his eyes that made their breath catch when they saw how the emerald orbs almost seemed luminescent.

As the man got his wits about him, Harry started to call his magic to him, waving it around the man so that he would be more inclined to help him.

To be on the safe side what with how his magic had been acting, he also used his vampire allure so that the man would be more attracted to him.

He didn't like using this type of magic, it reminded him to much of the Imperius Curse, but when needs must.

"Who the fuck are you and how did you get here?" David demanded. Jason had said there were no other ships around, when he had a done a scan to see if there were any other ships around that could try to take their claim.

"My name is Harry Potter. My ship crashed here a few days ago and I have been trap ever since." Harry explained, his words soft and like butter as they flowed over the man, he needed him to believe him and his magic wasn't the only thing he could use, (the one good thing about being half vampire,) Harry thought.

"What!? But the storm." David said in disbelieve. He had seen the read outs on that storm. Nothing should have been able to live through that.

"I hid in a cave when it hit, and I had enough in my bag to get me through it." Harry lied, patting his bag. Harry thought on his feet, his magic working over the man, making him believe his words.

"Shit, you're one lucky son of a bitch to have lived through that. Look this find is ours…" David said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Oh, I don't care about that, I just want off this rock. Do you think you'd be able to help me?" Harry asked. He didn't care what they did with his tomb, it had served its purpose and now he just wanted off this rock.

"Er... well, I have to talk to me Captain, but I don't see why not, with a bigger storm heading this way, leaving you here would be a death sentence." David said. He knew his Captain would let the guy onto the ship. They weren't heartless, like others, and wouldn't leave someone behind to die.

Plus, it helped that the guy was a looker as well. David knew his Cap liked black haired beauties, be it male or female, so this guy had that going for him.

"David, who the hell are you talking to?" Captain Maz shouted as he stormed out of the tomb with the others. He hoped to hell it wasn't someone after the claim on this gold mine.

"Captain, this is Harry Potter. Poor guy crashed his ship. He needs a ride off." David explained, he saw that the second that his Captain took in Harry's looks that he was coming with them.

"The fuck?" Maz and the others stared in shock at the beautiful male standing in front of them.

Seeing them standing there looking so shock at his looks. Harry, discreetly, used his magic and his vampire allure to ensnare them, again.

"As I was telling your friend here, I crash not far and held up in a cave when the storm hit. I was lucky in living through it, but I know I won't when the next one comes. When I saw your ship land, I thanked my lucky stars and quickly made my way here," Harry explained to them.

"Look, this tomb…" Captain Maz started to say, but was interrupted by David.

"I have already said that, Maz. He doesn't want a claim on it, just a lift."

"Hmm…" Mac couldn't see a problem in giving the young man a lift. He knew that some ships get pulled down or catch on the edge of a storm, so this wasn't the first time he had help others off planet. "Alright, but we have to drop you off at CP station E5."

"That's fine. Anywhere but here would be perfect." Harry said, he had no clue where CP station E5 was, or what was there, but he didn't care at this point. Though he thought it strange his magic seem to buzz inside him for a second when the Captain had spoken that name.

(I will have to mediate at some point to see what the hell is going on with my magic,) Harry thought, before the Captain's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Jas." Captain Maz called out.

A young man that had been quite behind his captain stepped forward. He had dark hair and blue eyes. He was bigger than harry in build, but shorter than the rest of the men.

"Yes, boss?" he asked, blushing at having been called.

Harry had to hold in a smile, this boy was innocent in many way.

"You take our guest back to the ship while the rest of us get this done here." Captain Maz ordered, though gently. He knew Jas was new to crew so he wasn't too hard on him.

"Ok, boss," Jas nodded and looked towards Harry. There was a light blush on the boy's cheeks as he cleared his throat. "This way, sir."

"Again, thank you so much," Harry said to the captain, smiling happily at the crew, before following the young man. David and the others could help staring at the young man's ass as he walked away.

Shaking himself out of it Maz began ordering the others to start back to work. As they walked in David walked up to his captain.

"You know with his looks there may be trouble, right?" David asked, watching them go.

"Don't I know it… But it will make the trip interesting," Captain Maz said, laughing as he two watched them go, though his eyes were more on that tight ass. 'Yup, definitely trouble.'

Following the young Jas, Harry had to stop himself from laughing at the captains words. (It will be an interesting trip,) Harry thought running his tongue over his fangs.

If it was going to be a long trip he was going to get hungry after all.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

A young man that looked to be in his twenties stared at the ship Hunter-Gratzner, oblivious to the curious and lust filled gazes from the crowd. He was only about five foot six, thanks to his relatives making him go days without food as so-called 'punishment'. His hair pulled back up into a ponytail at the base of his neck. Unbound, it would reach to the middle of his back.

Men and women leered as they passed him, some even tried to get the young man's attention. He wore black trousers that fitted well over his hips and thighs, clinging to them like a second skin and drew eyes to his tight assets, and a plain lose white cotton shirt with an emerald leather vest

completed the outfit.

The young man was a stunning creature to behold. His innocent looks drew many to him, but they concealed the danger that lay beneath the surface.

Harry looked over the ship he would be taking to New Mecca. The Hunter-Gratzner. A strange name to call it, but Harry had found this time had a lot of strange things. It was long and slim and it was a cargo ship that took passages that didn't have the creds to take a faster ship.

It had taken him some time to get here. Captain Maz had been true to his word in getting him off old Earth, and he had been right in the trip being interesting that was for sure. He had loved the taste of Maz and Jas the best. They filled the hole inside him some with there company, and he didn't leave them without the pleasant memories of their time together.

Mind magic was handy to know and he was thankful his papa had taught him the art. Because of what he was he couldn't sleep with them for real since they were his mates, but he did make it seem like they had, and he was happy to know Jas and Maz were now together.

(There is my one good deed,) Harry thought. It also made him guilty for using magic on them like Obliviate. After all, he couldn't let them know he had been feeding off them and as he can make the bite painful or pleasurable he used his magic to help him.

Shaking his head from those thoughts, he headed towards the ship. It was time to get off of Nova Five and learn more about the time he was in.

Deep In Space – few weeks since launch.

Harry had made his mind up about cryo, he hated it. Back on Maz's ship, he had learned about it. Though he was thankful he didn't have to go into one of the pods then, as they reminded him too much of coffin at the time, but he wished he had now, so that he would have known what it was like and wouldn't be going through all of this.

He knew it wasn't working for him like it did for others when he saw everyone around him asleep and he was still awake. Even his creature sides were stirring and he really didn't want that to happen, not with so many people around him.

He was so thankful for his magic, after being awake for the first day and only feeling dozy, he had used his magic to put him into a deep sleep. It was similar to what he had done in his tomb, just not as deep.

Though, because it wasn't so deep, he kept waking up every few days until he got the hang of it and would sleep for more than a week.

He also dreamed in his Cryo- Locker. His mind went back in time, much like in his tomb. But this time he went back to the start of his life. Back to when he was only just Harry, the freak and the orphan that lived in a cupboard under stairs at his relatives. He couldn't remember what they looked like after all these years, though. The only images that came up when he thought of them were a horse, a whale, and a hippo.

That is, until he received the letter that changed his life forever, for better or for worse. He, Harry Potter, was a wizard, but not just any old wizard. He was the boy-who-lived, a hero for living after killing the Dark Lord.

He had gone to Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The memories of that time raced through his mind. Some blurred and people faces long forgotten.

His mind decided to be kind to him this time as his dreams faded and, instead, he found himself in a jungle, sitting by a waterfall.

The place was beautiful, but he couldn't hide from how lonely he was. Being a vampire-elf hybrid wasn't easy, he was the only one of his kind. If it hadn't been for his dad and papa helping him learn about himself, he would have gone mad with all the emotions both sides of himself felt all the time.

Drinking from humans for nourishment took some time getting used to, but he learned and accepted what he was. He could drink blood, without killing his prey and he had mastered his abilities after all this time, thanks to his papa. But there had been one thing his family couldn't help with and that was finding his mate. It had been a shock to learn he had a mate; one person that was destined to be with him. He had at first felt the choice had been taken from him, but his dad had said this person would be the other half of himself, someone that he could let his guard down and always feel safe with. And as a submissive, he needed his dominate mate to feel that. But in all the time he had been awake he had never come across that one person, had never felt the instant attraction to anyone.

But since waking up he had felt a pull. It was like his magic was leading him somewhere.

"I just hope my mate is alive in this time. I don't think I can keep going on like this." Harry said to himself, his voice echoing in his Cryo- Locker.

Being alone for so long was wearing him down and now with all his friends gone, he was even more alone.

He was looking for his mate before, one that he can feed from and be full for days, the one that would make him feel safe and happy.

As time went on, however, all of his searches turned up dead ends in his old time, he had begins to despair that he would never find the one, hopeful in this time he will have more luck than he did in his own.

Harry turned his head and rested it on the lockers wall and slipped into a deep sleep once again.

0-0-0-0-0-0

Not far from where Harry was resting another waited in a different type of Cryo- Locker. This one with a warning signs printed on the front of it

Inside was the most wanted man, though some say he was more animal. He wore a black tank top with black cargo pants. Simple clothes, but on his tall strong form they made for an imposing sight. He was known as Richard B. Riddick. A man that no one wanted to mess with. He had escaped slams like they were hotels and not many people wanted to go after him, but someone did and now he was on his way back to the slam.

Unlike others he didn't sleep in cryo. His animal side wouldn't let him, all he had was time to plan and think.

~They say most of your brain shuts down in cryo-sleep…. All but the primitive side… the animal side…. No wonder I'm still awake.~

He hated cryo, he never slept, but it was a necessary evil, for now.

~Transporting me with civilians. Sounded like forty, forty plus. Heard an Arab voice. Some hoodoo holy man. Probably on his way to New Mecca. But by what route? What route?~

He need to know what route they were taking, but with him bound like it was that was going to be a little hard, for now he was going to have to wait, but that didn't stop him from thinking up plans on how to escape his restraints. With his head resting back, he took in the scents around him, he knew he could get some clues on the route they were on, on who was on board.

~Smelled a woman. Sweat, boots, tool belt, leather: Prospector type. Free settlers. They only take the back roads.~

Riddick turned his head sharply, his nose breathing in deep as the interesting scent came to him. He had smelled it when he came on board, but it had been covered by all the people that had been making there way to their Cryo- Locker.

~And here is someone who has a scent that I have never encountered before; copper that reminds me of freshly spilled blood, also joined with the scent of being in a rainforest. Not a mix I've come cross in my time.~

Riddick could a deeper breath, he let the scent feel his lungs like a starving man. It's heady, a type of energy he hasn't felt in a long time that is slowly surging through his body, stirring his animal side.

~Male. Young… yet old... I can feel the growling threat come through…. inhuman, dangerous, interesting.~

His nose pulled in more of the heavenly scent making the beast inside him stir. It'd been a long time since something had caught his attention and even then not like this. His animal side wanted to claim the scent, something that he didn't think would ever happened. He was going to have a good look at this male, but first he had to deal with a certain someone. A medicated scent drifted by him and he let out a growl. ~And here's my real problem; Mr. Johns, blue-eyed devil. He was planning on taking me back to slam… Only this time he picked a ghost lane.~

Plans appeared in his mind. Johns was losing his touch in taking such a lane. Anything could happen.

~A long time between stops.~

A dark smirk slowly appears around the bit. ~A long time for something to go wrong.~

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

Chapter 2

Harry's dreams and thoughts became more settled and pleasant, he dreamed of his friends; the ever loyal Codey who wished to stay bonded to him even though he would sleep, Jaxlyx, the Goblin lord that helped build a place where he could rest and heal after so much pain.

His heart missed them, but he knew they would not want him in pain over their loss. Jaxlyx had even promised he would come back and hit him with a goblin made Hammer if he ever cried because of his death.

As everyone slept in their cryo chambers, they were unaware of the ship veering off course from the ghost lane it had been on. There was no reason why it did so, some would say fate, others a terrible accident waiting to happen on such a long route.

Riddick's thoughts came true, for not a week had passed before the lives of the passages change forever. The ship and its sleeping crew and passages passed through the tail of a passing comet.

As it passed through the ship began to shake, small rocks punched through the hull, causing the emergency computer to come online. It began to wake the crew from cryo, one of these crew was Carolyn Fry, the docking pilot. She let out a small moan as she woke, her eyes taking in the flashing red lights and hearing the alarm sound around the ship. In front of her the computer screen

built into the cryo chamber appeared in the glass of the door.

EMERGENCY P280 HULL BREACH

Her brain wasn't awake enough to understand what was happening, another message appeared.

40 CRYO – LOCKERS INTACT AND OPERATIONAL

Under that it showed the names of her and the two other crew, there health and that the computer was waking them all.

She looked above the computer to see outside her cryo locker, opposite her, she could make out her captain and Nav. Officer still asleep.

Her eyes widen in horror as several small rocks shoot through the ship, and out of her captain's chest, killing him before he had a chance to fully awaken.

His life signs on the computer flat lined, her captain was dead.

Not taking her eyes off her dead captain she reached down and grabbed the release handle and pulled it, the doors opened and she fell to the ground as the gravity unit came online. Her crewmate, second in command Nav. Officer Owens fell on top of her when he pulled the release on his own cryo.

His mind still confused to what was happening, he didn't understand why the gravity was on. "Why did I fall on you?"

"He's dead, the captains dead!" Fry tried to say from under him. She was in shock, "I was looking right at him."

Owens seemed to not hear her as he slowly got off her and looked at his digi-watch, "Chrono show that we're 22 weeks out, so gravity wasn't supposed to kick in for another 19!"

He looked around in disbelief, his voice raised, "Why did I fall at all?"

"Did you hear what I said, the captains dead!" Fry said looking at him.

Owens stares at her before looking over to where the Captain Cryo-Locker was and sees the holes in the door.

Both got up and ran towards the front of the ship, grabbing a pair of flight suits that they put on as they started flicking switches and pressing buttons, trying to find out what the hell was going on.

"1550 millibars, dropping 20 MB per minute." She looked at the screen and flicked a few more buttons, "Shit, we're haemorrhaging air, something took a swipe at us."

"Come on, come on, just tell me we're still in the shipping lane, just show me all those stars!" Owens said to himself as he started up the screen to see outside.

"Come on, big bright…" he stopped talking when he turned and saw something that shocked him to the core, his eyes going wide in panic.

This caught Fry's attention and made her shoot out of her chair and lean over the station to see the screen. "What?"

On the screen it wasn't the stars that Owens had been begging for, but a planet that they were heading right at.

As they tried to send out a mayday, someone in back was waking up from their spelled sleep.

(What the hell!) This was Harry's first thought as he came out of his pleasant sleep. Opening his eyes he looked out his Cryo-Locker to see bright red lights flashing. He could hear the alarms blearing away, and the world around him shaking as if he was in an earthquake.

(What the fuck is going on?) Harry reached out and grabbed the cryo release handle, pulling it sharply his cryo door opens and he tries to climb out of the Locker, as a sharp jolt of the ship sending him flying out and onto the grated floor.

Groaning in pain at face palming the floor he slowly got to his knees, at another jolt he cursed loudly "FUCK!"

Alarms were going off as the ship started to shake even more violently, slowly getting to his feet, he reaches back and grabs hold of the locker to try and keep his balance as the ship rocks around him, he didn't understand what was happening but he could hear shouting coming from the front of the ship.

(The crew must be awake, thank Merlin.) Harry thinks as he moves toward the main cabin. He hides behind a metal pole and holds onto it, from there he can see into the cockpit. There was a man at one of the stations pressing buttons with slight panic to his movements.

He remembered him from when he got on the ship, even flirted with him; Owens, the Nav. Officer.

It worried Harry to see that Owens was panicking over his station, because it meant something was seriously wrong. (Fuck Merlin, this is only my second time in space!) Harry thought, pissed that something like this had to happen now. The ship rocked sharply, scaring Harry enough that his claws came out; and in the nick of time too as the ship rocked again even more, and would have sent him flying if he hadn't dug into the metal.

Suddenly Owens stopped both him and Harry could hear only static, he lifted his hand to his ear and asked in a serious voice, "Fry, where the hell is our coms?"

(Oh fuck!) Harry thought as he held on, he knew they were in trouble now, with no coms there was no calling for help.

Whatever this Fry was doing, she made the ship jerk forward shapely, Harry had to hold in a curse as his chest banged into the pole he was holding onto.

"What the fuck…was that a purge Fry?" He asked her over the com, Harry didn't know what a purge was but it didn't sound good.

"Too heavy in the ass, can't get my fuckin nose down!" She yelled over the coms.

Harry tried to place the voice, and remembered that one of the crew had been a short, blonde woman, she had reminded him too much of someone from his past with the snotty look on her face

as he had come on board.

Harry got a really bad feeling about her, turning his attention back on Owens he watched the man flicking switches and reading information off his monitor out loud.

"...crisis program selected Number Two of this system because it shows at least some oxygen, maximum terrain 200 meters over mean surface, largely cinder and gypsum with some evaporite deposits. " he stops speaking when the door between him and the passengers closes, making him really scared at what his crewmate was doing.

Behind the closed doors Harry used his magic to hear what was going on in the cabin, his fear level raised both his creature sides, and his magic were starting to buzz wildly. They sensed the danger they were in and Harry got the funny feeling this Fry, woman was going to do something stupid, he felt it even more when he saw Death waiting in the background.

"Fry, what the hell are you doing?" Owens asked over the com, praying she wasn't doing what he thought she was doing.

"I've got to drop more load." She said calmly over the com, she knew it was the only way they were going to get out of this alive.

At her words Harry gritted his teeth, he understood that this bitch was going to eject the passage cabin, the same cabin he was in. Looking around he caught some eyes slowly opening.

The computer was waking everyone up, (and this bitch is going to kill them before they wake, shit, think Harry!) Harry's mind raced, he knew he would live but those behind him would die in those cryo lockers.

"Look I tried everything else, I still got no horizon!" She said over the com, trying to explain that it was the only way they were going to live through this crash.

"Well you better try everything twice. 'Cause there's no way we just flush out--." Owens called out but was interrupted.

"If you know something I don't, then get your ass up here and take the chair!" She said pissed.

"Company says we are responsible for every single one of those people, Fry!" Owens yelled out, he didn't know how she was even thinking about doing what she was doing, it was mass murder.

"What, we both die out of sheer fucking nobility, Owens?" Fry questioned sarcastically, there was no way she was going to die for people she didn't even know.

"Don't you touch that handle Fry!" Owens shouted in rage as he jumps from his chair and races to the doors. He turns a switch and presses a button to open them up, grabbing a metal pipe, he holds it in place between the doors and closes them on the metal. He wasn't going to let this bitch murder their passengers, no one deserves to die like that.

(Shit! That bitch is really cold!) Harry thought; he wasn't going to let that woman do what she was planning. Pulling his magic into his hand he is about to send it at the closed door when to his surprise, it opens up enough for him see Owens jamming a metal rod between doors to keep them from closing.

"I'm not gonna die for them!" she shouted as she pulled the lever.

Nothing happened. "Air lock doors not secure." A female computer voice called out. "Owens!"

Fry screamed angrily, jacking down the lever again. "Seventy seconds, Fry! You still have seventy seconds to level this beast out!" he shouted as he climbed back into his chair.

The ship jolted. "What the fuck is happening up there?" Owens shouted. Harry tightened his grip on the metal pole, waiting for the impact. Suddenly, the ship crashed, the force of the landing throw him backwards, flying through the air he headed straight into a cryo-locker at the back of the passenger hold.

All Harry could feel was an explosion of pain in his back and the back of his head, and just as darkness was about to take him, his mind couldn't help thinking, (Give me a break.)

Then there was nothing but darkness.

Time change.

~Looks like I was right. ~ Riddick thought as the danger alarms started blaring above him, while through his blindfold he could see the emergencyred lighting. Even with all the sound he could make out voices in the distance. ~Seems like the computer system has woken the crew up. ~

Riddick used his senses to get a picture to what was happening, he could hear two sets of feet rushing towards the front of the ship.

~Two out of three, one of the crew is dead.~ Riddick thought, he couldn't hear what was happening out front, but something else caught his attention. A cryo-Locker not far from him opened, and when the ship rocked sharply a body fell out groaning when it landed.

~ Interesting; passengers aren't supposed to wake during emergencies, unless it's for evacuation and not this fast. ~ Riddick listened as the person cursed, it was a male voice, and as their scent came to him he knew who it was.

~You get more and more interesting. ~ Riddick thought as he took in that mouthwatering scent, when he got free he was going to see who the owner of that scent belonged to.

He hadn't felt threatened by others in years, they had always had less skill, but this one. His animal side was weary, but at the same time wanted to dominate them, he wanted to show them who was top killer.

~Play later. ~ Riddick reminded himself as the ship around him started to fall apart as metal was torn from its hull.

The male had made his way to the front, and it wasn't long before Riddick couldn't hear him anymore. Taking his attention from the mystery he pulled at his restraints. They were still in place, so he will have to wait and see how this goes.

Riddick could hear faint yelling coming from the front, and as the ship shook even more than before he knew this beast was going down. On what planet he didn't know, but he will work around that when they've landed in one peace.

He heard movement close to him, when another pair of cryo doors opened he knew who was out.

~Picked the wrong time to wake up Johns. ~ Riddick thought, he felt the mercs' stare, always wanting to know where he was every second.

Suddenly, the ship crashes into the ground, the side of the ship starting to tear away like paper. Johns, who finally woke up enough from cryo to understand what was happening grabs onto a metal pole and holds on. He doesn't notice a body flying by him and hitting Riddick's cryo- Locker, but Riddick did.

~You are one luckily son of a bitch. ~ Riddick thought, as the rest of the hull went and started to pull out anything that wasn't nailed down. He didn't want the male dead yet; he wanted to play some to see what was so different about him from all the others he has faced.

Even with the wind blowing through the cabin Riddick picked up the scent of the interesting man. Hearing the pained groan over the all the other sounds he knew he was still alive, though most likely pinned in place by something as he wasn't flying out of the ship.

The ship began to slow, others in their lockers coming fully awake from cryo just as the ship stopped.

Riddick checked his restraints again, and pulling on them he noticed right away that they were no longer attached to the locker its self. They've come loose during the crash, his arms and legs still locked up but he could work with that. Moving forward he knew he couldn't lift his leg to smack the glass with the chains but he could use his knee. Slamming his knee forward the glass in front of him shattered, weak from the crash. Reaching up he took off the blindfold as he stepped out of the cryo-locker.

As he did so he nearly steps on someone who was lying beside it; bending down slowly, he looked at the one who had been playing on his mind since catching their scent.

He didn't look dangerous in the least, small build and slender frame made it seem like he was harmless. However, Riddick wasn't fooled by looks, he had been around enough to learn to never underestimate someone based on what they look like; beauty easily hid how deadly they could be.

Long black hair had come out from the pony tail it had been in, and hid the man's face from Riddick's eyes. Reaching down with his bound hands his moved it to one side, and got a good look at the male for the first time.

The thing he noticed was the old classical beauty the male had about him, his skin pale and smooth. Riddick noticed that he didn't have any blemishes but for a small scar that looked like a thunder bolt, that he wondered how it came about.

Taking his gaze from the scar he took in the rest of his features. His gaze falling on the man's lips that reminded him of the colour of blood. Letting the tips of his fingers touch the raven beauty's cheek and across his lips, he finds that they are as soft as he first thought. There was something else that caught his attention, the male was cool to the touch, much cooler than any human should be, so he files this away in his mind along with how beautiful the man was.

The scent of copper caught his attention, that's when Riddick noticed some blood trickling down from a small cut on his forehead. It was most likely from crashing into his cryo- locker, and looking over the body he saw the metal pole pinning him down. It was the most likely the thing that had saved him from being sucked out when the wall went.

Reaching down he grabbed the pole and moved it off the man.

~This creature is the one who has me on alert? Very interesting.~ Riddick thought, as the male turned his head, facing him more and letting out a moan of pain. He watched as the raven haired beauty's eyelids started to flutter, as though he's trying to wake up but couldn't quite make it.

Riddick run his hand down the side of his face, from the contact the male eyes open, they were clouded with confusion and dazed with too much pain to notice the man standing above him.

Sliver and emerald orbs meet briefly and Riddick can't help sucking in a deep breath as he takes in the colour that shines from those eyes.

It had been years since he had seen anything in a colour other than pinks and purples, not since that first slam. The eyes were a shade of green he couldn't remember ever seeing in his time, not even the rarest of jewels matched up to them.

That's when he noticed something that wasn't right with them, they shone with an impossible light, like they glowed with power that was hidden under the skin. This man was no human that was for sure, and Riddick couldn't wait to see what this man could do. Leaning down he watches those eyes, till they are once again hidden from view as the man's eyes flutter shut. He moans in pain and shakes his head slightly before he once again falls into darkness.

With one last run down that soft cheek he got up. Staring down at the man he couldn't help but not want to leave him, which was unusual in itself. He could see the man was a beauty and his scent made the animal side want to claim him and keep him at his side. Shaking his head he turned his attention away from the beauty, there would be time to play and get information later.

Hearing a noise near him he turned towards it, and saw the Blue-eyed Devil under some debris, he had stayed too long and now it looked like Johns was waking up.

~Don't want to be caught by Johns so early in the game, now do I? ~ Riddick thought, smirking as he faded into the shadows. He started to plan, and first thing was he needed to get these chains off, and only Johns had the keys.

In and out of consciousness, Harry could feel a strong hand caress his face and touch his lips gently.

He moaned in pain before blacking out again, and when he came back into the land of the living all Harry could think of was the pain that exploded at the back of his head as he moved. He took stock of his injuries, he could feel some pain in his back, most likely a large bruise was appearing there. There was some pain in his forehead and the back of his head, and there were other aches and pains, but not as bad as those.

Breathing slowly, he let his healing power wash over him, he was thankful that both his creature sides healed fast. With the wound healed over he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was that he was lying beside a cryo locker, though the glass of the door was broken. Looking around the cabin he was shocked to see how trashed it was, everything was broken or smashed in the crash, they were lucky to still be alive.

(More than lucky.) Harry though remember the docking pilots attempt in killing them. Getting up slowly he felt as though someone had hit him with a jelly-leg jinx as his legs wobbled and nearly

bucked under him. Grabbing onto the cryo-locker he tried to steady himself. Once sure he could stand without aid, he let go of the locker and slowly walked through the ship.

All around him were the sounds of people talking or yelling out names of friends and loved ones. As he walked closer he saw some young boys, children, calling out for their father and by the sound of it the name Imam as they looked around them scared. Harry was about to go make his way over to them. He hated seeing children upset and after that crash they would be shaken and terrified.

But he didn't have to as a tall man in Arab clothing rushed to the children's side and pulled them into his arms, firing out questions in his language.

(This must be Imam their father.) Harry thought, seeing that the family would be fine he turned his attention to a skinny, pale man climbing out of a cryo-locker, and looking around in confusion. He climbed all the way out and started to walk around.

Harry watched the man for a minute before turning away. He was happy that some of the people made it, though by how many he was seeing, of the 40 people that came on board very few made it through the crash.

(No thanks to that bitch! I mean, I can understand being scared, but I would never sacrifice so many lived to save mine.) Harry growled inside, he will have to watch himself, if that blonde had lived, there was no telling what he would do to her.

Hearing a noise that broke him out of his thoughts, he turned and saw a couple working on a cryo- locker door with a blowtorch, hearing the movement inside he knew another person had made it through the crash.

When they were done they opened it and a teen boy rolled out.

"So I guess something went wrong." He said, looking up at them.

(Wrong indeed kid.) Harry thought before moving on to the front cabin. He had to know if the bitch and Owens survived the crash. His creature side growled and if anyone had been looking at him they would have seen his eyes flash blood red for a second.

Wrestling control over both his creature sides, he took a breath to calm himself. He was more upset over what she had tried to do than he had thought. His creature side wanted a piece of her for nearly finishing what Voldemort had started years ago.

(Calm Harry, your papa would be pissed to see you losing it so much control over a woman of all things, we are alive and even the kids made it. Get some control over yourself.) Harry thought to himself.

Stepping over some bent metal he watches his feet as he climbs over a fallen locker his head shooting up when a loud male voice screamed in pain. "Get it out of me!"

Getting closer, Harry stood in the shadows of the ship to take in the scene in front of him, Owens was on the ground still strapped into his chair with a long thin pole sticking out of his chest. The bitch was by his side, looking down at him in shock and sadness as she touched him gently on the chest.

The rest of the survivors gather around to see what was emitting such pained-filled sounds. He heard some gasp when they saw the Nav. Officer. Moving forward, pity filled Harry as he watched the scene in front of him. He wished he could save Owens, but he didn't have his bag that had what

he would need to save the poor man, instead he could only watch as the poor man suffered.

"Don't touch it! Don't you touch that handle!" Owens yelled in pain.

Harry knew what he was talking about and so did Fry by the guilty look that flashed over her face. The glazed look in Owen's eyes indicated delusion as he stared at the ceiling.

"Leave it alone."

"Get it out of him."

"No, it's too close to his heart." Some of the survivors called out, as they watch helplessly as the man suffers in pain.

Harry watched as a hopeless look came upon Fry's face. Harry wished he could help but it was too late for Owens. Harry could feel Death coming to take him over to the other side just like when Severus died. Pain filled him thinking about his old friend and father figure

"There's some Anestaphine in the med-lock in the back of the cabin," Fry said to the passengers.

"Not anymore, there's not," the skinny British sounding man said as he looked to the back, only torn and bent metal rested there now.

"Get out of here, everyone." Fry said sternly, not wanting anyone to see her guilt over what had happened, behind her everyone stood, still in shock and not hearing her words.

When she noticed that no one had moved, she raised her voice and ordered. "Get out of here!"

Harry watched on as everyone went outside. (It's sad, really,) Harry thought. (Thanks to him we are all alive, yet he dies and the one who wanted to kill us still lives. Strange how Fate treats us, isn't it? I should know, she's fucked with my life long enough.) Harry stood back, partly in the shadows, taking one last look at Fry he moved to follow the others.

He knew she felt regret and guilt, he can smell the guilt coming off her strongly as she clings to Owens' dead body as he walked away.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 3

After leaving Fry in her self-pity party in the front cabin, Harry made his way through the chaos to the outside where the other survivors had gone. Just before going out into the light he heard a rustling noise that made him looked back and stare into a shaded part of the ship.

There Harry spotted a man chained to a pole. He had dark skin that reminded Harry of light chocolate. It covered a strong and tall build that had muscles Harry had never seen on a male before. They tighten and loosed as the man leaned forward with his arms chained behind and around a pole. it look uncomfortable but the man let out no sound of complaint, there was a blindfold over his eyes and what looked like a ball in his month.

Harry may not understand what the man had done to be chained so. But the way his arms were chained was inhuman as far as he was concerned. Taking a deep breath he took in more of the man's scent trying to see if he could pick up anything up from it.

He nearly step back as it hit fall force him. Blinking his eyes he narrowed them in thought. he had never smelt like anything like this scent before, it was like a scent of wild forests, with the hint of blood, something untameable that couldn't be chained up for long.

It sent shivers down his body. Harry didn't know it yet but deep inside him, his body began to change slightly and the light of his magic thumped to the beat of his heart for a minute. His magic knew what he had found, but it was not yet time for him to know.

Instead Harry was thinking he should feel threated by this Alpha male but for some strange reason he wasn't, his instincts were telling him this deadly man wouldn't harm him, it made him feel weird about all this as both his creature sides seemed to purr inside his mind as he took in more of that lovely scent.

Shaking his head in confusion he turned away and made his way outside, he would think on it later, for now he had to see where they were and what type of situation they were in.

Stepped out into the sun's glare, he blinked his eyes so that he was no longer blind from the shear brightness, he had thought it was hot inside the ship from the crash but once he step out into the sun and he was smothered with the heat.

The waste land he had woken in hadn't been this hot, fanning himself with his hand he thought angrily (It's fucking hot. Why does this stuff always happen to me? Really, it's starting to get old.)

Walking other to a woman and what looked like her partner, he stopped next to them.

"Hello, glad to see a few of us made it through the crash." she said, sticking her hand out to shake Harry's.

Shaking her hand he nodded his head to them, he said. "Yes, lady luck was on our side today that's for sure, oh I am Harry Potter by the way."

"Shazza and this is me Zeke." Shazza said nodding her head to the man standing beside her.

"Nice to meet you both, just wish it was under better the circumstances." Harry said, and he meant that, this was turning out to be of shitty day and he had a feeling it was going to get worse before it got better, hearing a noise behind him he turned to see the other survivors had joined them.

The man in the robes along with his child stop beside Harry, if he remembered rightly this man was called Imam.

"We all wish that my son." Imam said to them, before introducing himself,

"I am Abu al-Walid, but you may call me Imam and these are my sons Suleiman, Hassan and young Ali." He said pointing from the oldest to the youngest.

Harry couldn't help smiling at the littlest one as he hid behind his father robes a bit. He was glad that they all still had each other after everything that happened.

"If we're all getting to know each other, the name is Paris P. Ogilvie." The skinny man with the British accent said.

Harry knew this guy was mostly likely going to annoy him, before he could think more on it the young teen boy Shazza and Zeke had freed spoke out.

"The names Jack." He said, looking at all of them.

Harry couldn't put his finger on it but something was strange about this boy, shaking his head he turned to the others when Imam spoke.

"And you sir?"

Everyone turned to see Imam asking a man dressed as a cop with a badge on his shirt, this seemed to calm the other in knowing there is a man of the law with them.

"Johns." He said simply.

This man set Harry on edge, there was a strange hospital scent around him that made Harry feel sick.

(Another one that would need watching. Will my day get any stranger?) Harry thought to himself.

"And the man you have chained up inside, is he someone we should be worried about?" It was Shazza who asked this, they had all seen the man just as Harry had when they exited the ship.

"Richard B. Riddick. A escaped convicted on his way to the slam, don't worry he is secure." Johns said reassuringly, he didn't want the group worrying about his payload.

(Richard B. Riddick, interesting.) Harry thought, the name had sent shivers down his spin but not in fear, he really needed to work out why this one man was making act this way, mentally shaking his head to clear it he started moving away from the group and headed closer to the ship, coming to a bit where the sand rose half way up the ship he began to manoeuvre his way up.

"Hay! what are you doin'?" Zeke called out as he watched him.

"I am going to see if there are any others that made it from the other parts of the ship that broke off, and the best way in doing that is to get to the highest point." Harry called back.

"He's right; we need to see about getting a search party together." Shazza said before following after Harry, her husband right behind her.

Harry stood up when he got to the top of the ship, (Fucking hell,) Harry though as he looked on to the horizon, following the path the ship took in landing.

Looking around he let out a sigh of dismay, (Were the only ones left.) he though as he took in the rakish, you could clearly make out the line of the ships descent, all alongside it were parts of the ship. He could see that another cabin not far from them was more intact, hopeful there was something in there that could help them in this mess.

"Fuck."

He had been so focus on what he was seeing he didn't hear Shazza and the other climb up the ship.

"I don't think there is going to be any search party." Harry said seriously looking at her.

The others looked out at the shocking site.

From down below on the sandy ground, Harry could hear Imam saying a pray in his native tongue along with his children, he thought they need more than a pray, out of 40 people only 12 of them made it.

(There would have been less if not for Owens.) Harry thought. He wasn't going to tell the others about it as there was no point but he knew that he wasn't going to trust the blonde in getting them out of this mess.

"Is anyone else having difficulties breathing?" Paris asked suddenly, looked at the others to see if they felt the same. "Yeah, I feel one lung short," Shazza responded, trying not to think about all the people who had died. "All of us." "I feel like I just ran or something," Jack said, holding a hand to his chest.

Harry didn't know what they were talking about, he wasn't having any trouble but then with his vampire side he didn't need as much oxygen as a human.

Hearing a noise he turned and saw Fry making her way up the ship, he hang back and let Shazza talk to her, he didn't have himself totally under control yet to deal with her. "There was talk of a scouting party looking for people, but then we saw this," Shazza said to her when she made it do them, as they all looked to the destruction in front them. "What the bloody hell happened?" Zeke demanded, turning to Fry. Fry swallowed before she started to explain what she knew, "Could have been a meteor storm. Might have been a rogue comet. I don't know." "Well I, for one, am thoroughly grateful. This beast wasn't made to land like this but… I think you did well. Actually, the only reason we're alive is because of her," said Shazza, patting Fry's shoulder in gratitude. Harry felt rage run through his veins at what he was hearing, and still hearing. "I suppose you're right. Thanks very much," said Paris. "Yeah. Thanks for saving our dicks," Jack said, patting Fry's shoulder as well. Harry glared darkly at her while everyone thanked her for savings their lives. It was Owens that saved them; not her, it was taking everything Harry had to not shout at them for their praise.

(Fucking bitch! Taking credit for something she didn't even do.) Harry thought. If the others had been looking at him they would of notice his eyes and fingers change slightly. Harry felt the change and quickly took a deep breath to calm himself before there was a blood bath.

"No, really. Thanks awfully," murmured Paris his thanks again, there was no way he wanted to die in a crash on a second rate ship. "Well done." Shazza smiled squeezing her shoulder as she looked at the blonde. "Un-fucking-believable," Harry hissed quietly, he couldn't take much more of this.

The others had heard him and turned in surprise at his words, as they looked on in question to Harry words, he looked straight into Fry's eyes as she looked at him they were darkened with guilt she felt at their words of praise which made Harry happy but what pleased him more was the flicker of fear that passed through her blue eyes when she realized what he knew.

She realized with dread that he knew what she had tried to do drawing the crash.

"Harry what's wrong." Shazza asked confused to the young man's words, she felt that something was going on but had no clue as to what.

Taking one more looked at those fearful blue eyes, Harry turned to Shazza and said, "It doesn't matter Shazza, just something I was thinking about."

Turning to the edge of the ship he turned his head to take one more look at them and Fry and said, "Not for the time being."

And with that he jumped off the roof and started walking back inside, he knew if he stayed any longer he would fly into a rage and bloodlust would be too much for him to overcome, so it was better if he had the chance to cool off for a minute before facing her again.

The heat didn't help with his temper, it was unbearable to stand out in it for too long, He was just lucky he didn't have the same weakness as other vampires or he would be a pile of dust right about now, he was thankful to being part elf, it stopped that from happening and at the same time he got some energy from the sun's rays, not much be enough to help restore the energy he had used on healing himself.

Walking inside he hide himself away in the shadows, sitting down he sigh silently and took a deep breath to calm himself when a wonderful scent filled his lungs, his creature sides calmed, which shocked Harry.

Looking over Harry spotted Riddick, in his anger he had forgotten the man was chained up in here, he watched as the man sat there in obvious discomfort.

The man's aura screamed danger, in every sense of the word but his scent drew him in like a moth to the flame. He knew he should be wary, very wary as this man had killed, and would do so again without hesitation, and for once Harry didn't think he could take this male on, not even with his creature sides.

The danger this man had surrounding him made harry want to be closer to him, even sitting this far made his body act strange, his creature sides purr at the power this dominating man held.

All the energy coming off this man seemed to enhanced the man's striking looks, making him more deadly in appearance, the lovely bronzed flesh that covered firm muscles in his tall frame.

He looked like sex on legs. A subtle intake of breath through his nostrils confirmed that he smelt like it to as there was lust in that scent now the longer Harry looked at him, it did strange things to his body and harry had to shift in his sit as heat surge through it.

For the first time in several thousand years, if ever, true lust coiled in his belly and spread across his body.

This sent shock them him, he had felt some lust for others before, even Mac and Jaz had made him feel it, but with all those other he had only wanted that blood, never their bodies, but this man, this Riddick was making him feel strange.

(What are you doing to me?) Harry silently asked the bound man as he looked at him.

Taking a breath through his month, he hoped this would stop his mind getting clouded, looking over Riddick's powerful form. He couldn't help but feel bad for him slightly with him being chained up like a wild animal.

(Mm…. I wonder if he is.) Harry thought lustfully, his tongue running over his red lips.

Harry jolted up right at the sudden thought. He couldn't believe he had just thought that. (What in merlin is happening to me, I have never acted lustfully at anyone before.)

But there was no stopping it as lust felled the air around the two men, Harry could see Riddick taking in his scent and more lust shoot through Harry that he couldn't stop, his body started to reacted, heat spread through him even more and his blood began to pound through his vain.

Harry was fighting the losing battle of getting up and going over to Riddick, he had never wanted someone like this. The man scent was driving him crazy.

Before he could lose control of himself, Fry entering the ship interrupted whatever had been happening to both men, snapping both of them out of there lust, quickly and quietly Harry stood and slipped farther into the shadows and watched as she stood there looking at Riddick, for some reason this pissed Harry off, he didn't want her eyes anywhere near Riddick.

Before Harry could take her attention from Riddick, Johns appeared behind her and walked over. "He just escaped from a maximum prison," Johns explained to her suddenly making Fry turn to look at him.

"So, do we just keep him locked up forever?" she asked, not sure how she felt about that. "Well, that would be my choice." Johns said, there was no way he was letting Riddick free, not with the s… being as it is, there no way he was going to be ghosted on this planet.

Harry slipped around the edges of the ship to come out of the shadows directly behind them.

They didn't even notice him until he spoke. "So you're just going to keep him chained up like a wild animal." he said stoically, face blank.

The two jumped and turned around, Fry gasping in fright her hand coming to her chest to calm her pounding heart, Johns on the over hand, had his hand hovering over his gun until he notice it was the dark beauty from before, taking his hand off his gun he watched as the beauty came forward and moved passed them to stand in front of them and closer to Riddick's form.

"Like a Lion you cage in order to try your hand at taming it." Harry said before he turned slightly and looked at them both.

Fry began to stutter out. "I… I have to go see to the others."

Before going she eyed him warily, she couldn't get over what she had seen in his eyes before, you would think having a killer chained not far from her would scare her more than this man did, but that wasn't the case, she hated being scare of a male that was shorter than her but he had a presences about him that made her wary of being in the same room as him, shaking her head she left the cabin as fast as she could.

Behind her, Harry watched on as she left, turning he looked to see Johns watching him and Harry could see the lust clearly in his eyes.

"And do you also have to leave Mr. Johns?" Harry asked.

Johns eyed him, taking in his full appearance. He folded his arms and leered blatantly. "I dunno. I kind of like it in here. Dark. Quiet." "A murderer chained up like a dog," Harry said bluntly, eyes narrowing in the beginnings of annoyance. He turned to face Riddick, slowly walking over to him. His words went right over Johns' head, as the man was busy staring blindly at Harry's ass.

Both Harry and Riddick could smell the desire pouring off of him in waves.

"Is he really that dangerous?" Harry asked calmly as he stood just a few feet from Riddick.

"Only around humans, Harry." Johns answered him. He didn't want the beauty attention on the con.

"Oh, really," Harry purred darkly. (Good thing I'm not human then, isn't it?) He thought to himself. (I will find out why you call to me so, Riddick.)

And with that Harry walked from the room, Johns following behind him as they made their way back to the others.

Time change

Riddick rested, he could hear Johns move away and to the cries of pain coming from the front cabin, (looks like one of the crew didn't make it.) Riddick thought, testing the restrains that chained him to the pole he found them to be tight and solid, Johns wasn't taking and chances of him getting lose again anytime soon.

Flexing his thigh muscle he felt no more pain come from the area, it looked like his injury he had gotten in the fight with Johns already healed, he knew his plan to kill johns would fail the moment he placed his legs around the guys neck, he had felt the weakness in the pipe he had been holding onto, he had thought it would hold long enough for him to choke Johns but the crash had weakened it more than he had planned for.

It seems seeing that green eyed male had made it so he didn't think clearly through his plan, he had sent to much time looking at the male instead of planning.

He couldn't let that happen again, Green-eyes was a distraction that he couldn't afford right now or he will get himself kill, oh he could play with him a bit to see what he was but he can't let it get in the way of ghosting Johns or getting off were ever they had landed.

He heard yelling coming from the front, where the cries of a male in pain had come from before, now there was only a female voice that held pain and guilt in its tone, slowly saviours made there out and passed him to exit the ship, one of them stop and he knew it was Johns,

~Checking to see your pay load is still here, fucker.~ Riddick though, Johns made his way out, and Riddick relaxed, he hated being chained up around Johns, but it was something he had to put up with a few times now.

Another set of footsteps walked out of the front cabin, at first he thought it the female he had heard earlier but when a heavenly scent came to him he knew it was Green-eyes.

The feet stopped in the same spot as Johns, but unlike Johns this one Riddick didn't mind looking at him, he may be a distraction but he was a hot one.

He could feel those eyes running over his form, assessing him and what danger he posed, taking a deep breath and took in that lovely scent.

The animal side seemed to uncurl and rumbly in pleasures at being observed by this small male.

~Hmm… what are you Green-eyes.~ Riddick thought curiously, the scent seem to tease him, tempted him, the more he breathed in the more he wanted.

~What are you doing to me.~ Riddick growled in his mind, he wasn't used to being this on edge to be close to someone, not unless it was to ghost them, even the whores he had been with had fear in there scent though the lust always overpowered it but this scent had no fear only wariness.

When the man turned and left it disappointed him somewhat . ~Have to catch up to him later.~ Riddick thought.

Turning his attention away from the strange beauty he started to plan, from the sounds outside they weren't near any settlement, so help coming anytime soon was a no go.

Hearing some more feet coming he turned his scenes to that and catch the scent of female, pain and guilt, this woman didn't stop but made their way outside to the others.

~Must be the crew woman, with the other dead that makes her in change for now, as long as Johns doesn't go for the leader role I can work with this.~ Riddick thought, ~First I have to get myself out of this.~

Flexing his muscles he pulled at the chain some more, he knew he wasn't going to be able to break the chains, not without help.

Before he could think more on it, someone stormed into the cabin and sat not far from him, from the heavenly scent that played with his nostrils, it looked like Green-eyes was back, rage was rolling of the male in waves.

~What got you so pissed, Green Eyes, whoever it was better watch out.~ Riddick thought, the strong killing intent was rolling off his form, whoever had pissed the beauty off was lucky not to be dead right now, it got Riddick curious in who the person was to anger this man some much.

He heard a sigh and then an intake of breath before the beauty's scent change from rage to surprises.

~Forgot I was here, Green eyes. Should never do that.~ Riddick thought, he could feel Green eyes watching him, his eyes running over his form once more, what he wouldn't give to know what was running through that mind right now or to have the blasted blindfold off to see Green eyes again.

The scent around him change, there was still wariness there but lust now clouded the air around him, it sent heat shooting through him as the heavenly scent got stronger and more tempting.

Riddick became more drawn to the scent the more he took in, heat shot to his groin as his blood became heated the more time he took in the scent, his trousers became tight and the urge to claim Greens was becoming stronger but the second.

Lustfully images filled Riddick mind, pictures of Green eyes beneath him panting and moaning, screaming in pleasure and pain as he bite into his neck to mark him as his, but before he could start groaning at the images going throw his mind, they where interrupted by the so called new Caption and the Blue-eye devil.

"He just escaped from a maximum prison," Johns explained Fry.

"So, do we just keep him locked up forever?" she asked.

"Well, that would be my choice."

"So you're just going to keep him chained up like a wild animal," Green-eyes said stoically. Riddick laugh silently as he hears them jump in fear at his sudden appearance.

"Like a Lion you cage in order to try your hand at taming it." He said dryly

"I… I have to go see to the others." Caption said warily before skirting out of the cockpit.

~Now why is she so scared of my Green-eye vixen? Wait when did he become mine.~ Riddick thought before turning back to what was being said, he would think more on it later.

"And do you also have to leave Mr. Johns?" Green eyes asked.

"I dunno. I kind of like it in here. Dark. Quiet." Johns said leery, Riddick could hear and smell the lust coming off Johns and it pissed him off that the fucker was looking at Green eyes like that, he wanted to rip his head off.

"A murderer chained up like a dog," Green-eyes said bluntly before slowly walking over to Riddick. ~So close yet so far.~

"Is he really that dangerous?" Harry asked calmly.

~Come closer and find out Green eyes.~ Riddick thought his mind felled once again with thoughts

of this beauty under him.

"Only around humans, Harry." Johns answered him, Riddick knew what Johns was trying to do, He wanted Green eyes scare of him, but it seems he did the opposite.

"Oh, really." Harry purred, the sound sent pleasant shivers down Riddick's body, he wouldn't mind hearing more of that, but sadly it wasn't to be as he heard Green eyes turn away and move out of the ship. John following like a lost puppy behind.

~I will be seeing you real soon…Harry.~ Riddick thought before he looked up through the small hole in the blindfold to the brake in the beam he was tied to.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 4

Stepping out onto the hot ground Harry moved away from the ship and headed towards the others. He could feel Johns' eyes following him from behind, staring below his belt, it was something he had to put up with while they were trap on this Merlin forsaken planet. but that didn't mean Harry wouldn't scare the crap out of him if he tried something.

Stopping beside Shazza and Zeke he heard what they were planning.

"That's the cargo hold over there, we should see if there is anything useful inside, food, water, that type of thing." Shazza said pointing to the slightly buried part of the ship; it was the only part that was still intake from the crash.

"Good, hopeful all is well with my bags." Paris said before walking off.

(Hopeful my bag is in there or I will have to wait for it to appear on its own.) Harry thought as he and the others walked towards the cargo hold.

When they got closer they saw that the cargo hold was upside down, thankfully there was a mount of sand to the door making it easier to get to.

Zeke and Johns had to forces the door open as the switch that opened it was broken, not a surprise really with how banged up the hold was, once inside, they all made there way towards one of the holds, Paris leading the way muttering to himself.

Once inside Harry moved off to the side looking for his bag, he knew it was placed in here as Owens had shown him, the man had been a big flirt and it sadden Harry to know he had died like he had.

Behind him he could hear the others talking as they looked over the cargo.

"The whole container's upside down. It's all topsy-turvy," Paris said unhappy with the state of the place, but his mood soon lifted as he found what he had been looking for, taking a key out of his pocket. He unlocked a chain that was wrapped around an ancient looking sarcophagus of all thing.

This did make Harry curious as to why he had such a thing, it may look real but even he could tell it was fake, after all his friend had work in tombs and show him that they had been made out of gold, that one looked to be made from metal.

"Thank goodness it's not a total loss." He opened it, revealing a great amount of bottles of alcohol. Harry winced at the thought of drinking cheap alcohol as he watched, he may need to still eat and drink like a human thanks to his elf side but it was pushing it for him to drink cheap bozo, he had been spoilt by Coddy getting him the finest fire whiskey, after that there was no turning back.

Shaking his head to get rid of those silly thoughts he turned back to his search, pushing and pulling bags out of the way as he looked through the bags that were piled around, he could hear others looking for their bags though from the cursing Zeke was saying some of them were having much like, seeing a gold and silver shimmer of light for a second out the corner of his eyes, drew his attention to another pile next to the one he was looking through and there he saw his bag lying innocently beside some other bags.

(I love magic.) Harry thought smiling as he went over to it and picking it up, it still looked good as new, the magic waived into the bag protected it in the crash.

Placing it over his shoulder he retreated to the door way with his bag in hand, there he could see Imam and his sons watching the others.

"I don't suppose this will help you at all," Fry said, looking at the doorway above her to Imam, the others turning to watch to see what she was going on about.

"Unfortunately, it is not permitted. Especially while on hajj," he explained.

"You realize there's no water, don't you?" John said, giving the man a sceptical look, no believing the man would give up chance to drink just because it was alcohol, he will never understand people and there faiths.

"All deserts have water. It only waits to be found." Imam said strongly, he would not give up hope of finding water.

Harry opened the flap on his bag and reached inside it, calling his magic to his hand he conjured two water bottles into it, it would do for now for the small family, all the others would have to drink the alcohol till they found more water for all of them.

"I hope you're right."

"He doesn't need to hope," Harry said suddenly as he walked closer to them.

"I have two bottles with me. It should be enough for you and your sons till we find more water." Harry said, pulling out the two hefty water bottles.

Imam's eyes widened as Harry walked over to give them both to him. "I can not take your water, Harry. You will need it more." he said. Fry was about to open her mouth when Harry gave her a sharp look that shut her up fast.

She still felt fear around him though for how long for Harry didn't know but for now he was going to use it to his advantage.

Turning back to Imam he pressed on.

"You and your two oldest sons may be able to go a long time without water, but the youngest cannot." Before Imam could protest further, Harry handed him one of the bottles. He handed the other to the youngest boy, Ali. "Don't drink it all in one go," Harry said to him with a wink. He walked ahead out of the cargo hold, carrying the bag over one shoulder.

The others looking after him, he was a strange fello to them, but he had won over Imam trust for the kindness he had shone them.

Paris was just happy he didn't have to give all his possessions away, he moved over and closed the tombs, "All the more for me then."

Time change back with Riddick….

As all the survivors were away and busy with the cargo hold, Riddick was putting his plan of escape into action.

Turing his head, he looked thought the hole in the blindfold, above him there was a break in the bulkhead, it was big enough for him to get the chains through, moving his head he looked around to see what he had to work with and there not far from him was a cutting torch, he made a quick plan. ~Mmm… think its time to go.~

Riddick stood slowly, raising his arms behind him. CRACK! CRACK! He groans as he dislocates both shoulders before lifting them overhead. He passes the chains through the broken bulkhead. He relocates his shoulders before falling forward, grabbing the cutting torch as he dose, it wasn't long before he had the chains off, all he had to do now was find some way go perfecting his eyes out in the light.

Taking off the blindfold he was happy to find it was dark enough in the cabin for him to look around without it hurting like a bitch, it didn't take him long to see that Johns had fucked up, because no far from where he had been chained up, sitting on crate was his googles.

~Getting sloppy Johns, real sloppy.~ Riddick thought as he picked them up and placed them over his head. He left the cockpit and walked outside, staying along the side of the ship he looked around, there was nothing around for miles, only sand and rock.

Seeing none of the survivors around he ran towards the direction of the yellow sun, dropping the bit for John to follow he turned to go the opposite way when he noticed that there wasn't only one sun in the sky, there were three.

~Just my fucking luck~ he thought irritably. ~Three fucking suns.~

There was nothing he could do about it for now so with that in mind he headed off, he didn't want to be around when Johns found him gone.

As he ran, he felt himself short of breath, with the three sun's and no plant life there was limited oxygen on the planet, Riddick paced himself he knew he would be far enough away that Johns wouldn't be able to see him if he came out and as he couldn't do anything about the air for now, he had to make sure he didn't over do anything till his body got used to the lack of air.

Turning his head he looked behind him and saw he was pretty far from the ship now, turning back he jogged on, as he did so a pair of Green eyes appeared in his mind, he didn't know what it was about the young man that caught his attention, he knew that he wasn't human and that his scent sent his animal side wild with wanting to claim the raven hair man, he had never wanted to claim someone, oh he had taken his fair share of partners, male and female, but none that sent his blood rushing through his body like this Harry.

When they met again and they would meet again Riddick was going to find out what Harry was and what he was doing to him, but for now he had to plan his next move.

Going over a hill he looked over a graveyard, bones of large animals clustered together, there were many places to hind and if possible get the drop on Johns when he followed him.

~Perfect.~ Riddick though, smirking as he walked into the graveyard.

Back with the others…

Harry was resting beside the cargo hold when some of the other came out from their search, moving he stood next to Shazza and Zeke just as he was about to talk to them he noticed Johns moving back towards the main ship, (most likely checking up on his captive.) harry thought before turning to Shazza.

"Was there any useful items in there?" Harry asked.

"Some bits and bobs that could be useful in rigging up something up to help us with the low air, but no food or any more water, only these." She said holding up her bottle of Paris bozo.

Harry nodded his head, "Hopeful we find something on this rock that will help us."

"I hope your right mate, we won't last long with this crap." Zeke said taking a swig of out of the bottle, his face grimacing at the taste.

"That was a kind thing you did back there for Imam and his boys, not many would give up their water like that." Shazza said

"It was the logic thing to do, all of us can drink the bozo but him and his kids can't, and I can't see a child go thirsty like that if I have a way to stop it." Harry explained, there was more to it, memoirs of a cupboard and weeks of hunger and thirst flashed though his mind before disappearing again. He knew he had a shit childhood and he remembered some of it but after all these years his memories of that time had faded.

"Still it was something not many people would do and I know Imam was grateful for it." Shazza said smiling at him, he was young but he had a good heart not something her or her Zeke saw very often in their travels.

Harry just smiled back at her before seeing Johns running out of the ship and looking around in a panic.

"What's up with him?" Zeke said spotting the same as Harry.

The three of them watch as Johns seems to spot something and run towards it, they watch as he bent down and pick something up.

"This doesn't look good." Shazza said when Johns throw whatever he was holding onto the ground before he turned and stormed towards them all.

"Everyone get what every weapons you have and meet in the main cabin." Johns ordered as he made his way passed them to go into the hold.

"What up? Why do we need weapons?" Zeke called after him, though many of them had a incurring to why they needed weapons.

Johns didn't answers; his face looked like a storm cloud as he made his way up the sand to the door.

"Johns!" Fry called out, "What the hell is going on?"

He stopped and turned to her, he saw that all of the survivors were watching him, taking a calming breath, he hid his fear and looked at Fry answered her in a seriously voice, "Riddick's lose."

With that he moved inside to look for his spare gear and left them all to stare in shock as he disappeared.

"Shit." Zeke said.

It wasn't long after that they all got moving, Paris followed after Johns muttering to himself, the rest of them moved into the main ship, they all saw that Johns was telling the truth when they saw that the convict was missing from the beam he had been chained to.

"How the hell did he get lose?" Shazza asked, there was no way he could have gotten free from that solid beam.

"There." Fry said pointing to the top of the beam that had a break in it.

"How the hell he mange that." Zeke said, the break was high up and there was no way his guy could have gotten himself up there to get his arms free, not with his arms behind him.

"He could if he dislocated his shoulders." Harry said from behind them making them jump.

"Fuck." Zeke said, he knew that had to have hurt having had his right shoulder dislocated once.

Harry moved on into the main cabin, the body of Owens wasn't there, looks like Fry had moved him before joining everyone but Harry could still smell his blood in the air, it made him slightly hunger, it had been some time since he had feed and if there were on this planet for more an a few days there were going to be problems.

(Hopeful some of the potions in my potion case can help with the blood lust; there no way I want to go for too long without a feed with there being so few of us.) Harry thought and he lend against a wall, watching the others wait for Johns and Paris to come back, there was another reason he didn't want to go so long without a feed, and there wasn't anyone to feed from.

Many of them were out on being a donor, the kids were out that including Jack, their bodies didn't hold enough blood for him to become full, plus he didn't feed of kids. Harry was hard pressed to

hold the grimace of his face at the thought of it.

Moving on to the others of their group he crossed them off, Fry, yeah he would feed on her but he would be hard pressed in stopping before he killed her.

Zeke was a no go, he was married and there was no way Harry could feed off the guy without Shazza knowing it and that of course ruled out her as a donor as well.

Imam, was a no as well, he reminded Harry to much of someone from his passed, plus he had children to look after and feeding Harry would make him to dazed for a time to do so.

Paris look like he would fall over if Harry even got close to him with his fangs, the man was so weak that Harry was more likely to kill him from taking too much blood without noticing.

And then there was Johns, the man's scent alone put Harry off going near the him let alone feed from him, he smelt to much like a hospital with his medicated scent and Harry had spent too much of his childhood in them to want to drink from someone that smelled like one.

So Harry was in a bind and he knew it, if there were on the planet for too long or something happened that made him use his gifts then he had no one to drink from and his potions would only take the edge off for so long.

(Riddick.)

The name whispered through his mind, sending shivers down his spin and lust to pool in the pit of his belly. He couldn't think of why Riddick couldn't be a donor, other than the man was dangerous and a convict.

His vampire side was purring at the thought of them feeding from the big man, even is elf side was content with the thought, it confused Harry greatly. He didn't understand why his body was acting like this at only the thought of the man. (Merlin what would happen if I was close to him.) Harry thought with a shiver, he had to get his mind of Riddick and back to what he was going to do about blood.

The man wasn't an option for feeding right now.

"What the hell." Zeke said out loud bring Harry out of his thoughts to see what the man was cursing for.

Looking Harry saw Johns carrying a case into the room, he placed it onto some metal that acted like a table and opened it.

Harry's brow rose when he saw the big ass gun inside, it was nothing like the guns from his time but it reminds him of what the muggles called a shot gun.

(Maybe he's making up for something, elsewhere.) Harry had to hold in a chuckle at the thought.

He watches as he also took out a pistol as well, Johns was gearing up to the max, though from the scent of fear and anger that was coming from the man, Harry could see why, Johns feared Riddick meaning Riddick was the bigger danger to the group but Harry couldn't get over the feeling that Riddick wouldn't hurt them unless they went after him first.

Harry didn't know what to feel about Riddick's escape, he didn't feel fear like he could smell that was coming from everyone else, he felt content at the man's freedom maybe that was to do with him not being free for so many years, there had been someone controlling his life for many of his

younger years before his dad and papa freed him from it.

"What the hell are these?" Fry asked Paris as he walked by her, arms full of old weapons and what looked like a shield.

"They're Maratha crow-bill war picks from India. Very rare," he explained.

"And this." Zeke asked picking up a long wooden pole that was cave with the image of a snake.

"That is a hunting bow-dart from the northern part of new Guinea, very, very rare, sine the tribe's extinct."

"Cuz they couldn't hunt shit with these things, be my guess." Zeke said looking at the so called weapon.

Paris took it off him with a sigh, some people didn't understand value in something so rare.

"What's the point anyway? If the man is gone, then he's gone. Why should he bother with us?" Paris asked them.

"Maybe to take what you got. Maybe to work your nerves. Or maybe to just come back and skull fuck you in your sleep," Johns said in a calm voice.

(Well if Riddick doesn't work their nerves, then Johns will.) Harry though as he heard this.

"Sounds like a charmer," said Shazza.

(Doesn't he,) Harry creature sides purred in excitement in his mind, leaving him confused at what was going on his in brain, clearing those thoughts from his mind he followed the others outside the ship.

It wasn't long they were all separated to do their own thing, Harry followed Shazza and Zeke over to a makeshift table that had some oxygen tanks and piles on it. As they worked Harry was surprised how well they worked with each other, but he guess after being together for so many years they knew what the other wanted and when.

Harry went through his bag, he was happy that it was bottomless and he had to only think on what he needed, at the moment he was looking for something to help Shazza with the modified breather units that her and Zeke were working on with Jack helping them.

Suddenly he felt something appear in his hand, looking down he saw some straps, why he had that in his bag he didn't know what they would be useful in holding the units. Taking them out he handed them to Zeke who nodded in thanks.

Harry turned as he watched Shazza place the unit over Jacks head and he tried it out, Shazza had made it so he had to suck on the mouthpiece to supply oxygen instead of it being at a constant flow.

"Yeah?" Shazza asked when he took a breath.

Jack smiled a nodded at them. "Yeah."

Harry was happy it worked for them, he may not need much oxygen to breath but he had noticed the other slowly becoming short of breath, their bodies not yet used to the low air and it could take days for them to adapt to it.

"Imam! If we're looking for water, we should leave soon. Before nightfall, while it's cooler," Fry said walking over to them.

(Now what is the bitch up to?) Harry thought looked towards her his face set in a frown, he knew that they had to look for water soon as the bottles he had given Imam wouldn't last forever nor would Paris booze, his thoughts were interrupted by said man, who came running up to them out of breath.

"Excuse me. I think you should see this." He said seriously, they all looked at each other before following him; they didn't go far before spotting what Paris had found.

In the distance, instead of seeing the orange glow of dusk, there was a big blue sun coming up. They all couldn't believe their eyes as they stared in shocked at what they were witnessing.

"Three suns?" Jack asked in shock.

Fry turned from the blue sun to look at the red and yellow one behind them, her face in disbelief at the situation they were in.

"Bloody hell," Shazza said not believing her eyes.

"Oh this is just fucking great." Harry said under his breath. (Now I'm so happy to be part Elf or I'd be flying away on the bloody wind.)

"So much for your nightfall," Zeke said sarcastically.

"So much for my cocktail hour," Paris said lamely. Wondering how we ended up in this kind of situation in the first place. That will teach him the fly cheaply again.

Harry rolled his eyes at that, before he turned to see a smiling Imam and one of his sons as they walked over to them.

"We take this as a good sign. A path, direction from Allah. Blue sun, blue water," he said happily to them his arm over the shoulders of his son who was also smiling happy.

"Ever wonder why I am an atheist." Zeke said sarcastically as he walked over to his wife, who elbowed him in the gut as soon as he was close enough.

"It's a bit of a bad sign. That's Riddick's direction," Johns said, pointing to the blue sun. Harry looked to the way Riddick had gone and a small smile again made its way onto his face before it went blank again.

(Stop it Harry, Merlin the guy could kill you.) Harry thought to himself trying to get his mind off Riddick.

"I thought you found Riddick restrains over there, towards sunset." Fry said nodding her head towards the yellow sun.

"Right, that means he went towards sunrise." Johns said before he walked away from her, he didn't like her questioning his word, shaking that off for now he moved over to Zeke.

"Zeke," John said taking the pistol out from the back of his pants he pointed it down and showed Zeke it was fully loaded. "Fully loaded clip, safety's on. one shot if you spot him okay."

"Don't tell me you're going off to." Zeke said unhappily.

"Yeah." Johns said nodding his head, there was no way he was staying when his payload was out there somewhere.

"What happens if Mr. Riddick spots use first." Paris asked nervously, as he came to stand beside Johns

"There be no shots." Johns said smirking at the weak man before walking off.

As Johns walked away from Zeke after handing him a gun, Harry came alongside him to walk with him.

"I will be coming with you and the others when we head out." He said calmly. Johns looked towards him.

"I think it'd be best if you stay here with the others, wouldn't want you to get hurt out there." Johns said his tone caring but his eyes told a different story as they ran over Harry's form.

"It would be safer if I went with the six of you, with three adults and three children you can't look after all of them on your own, now can you." Harry said with a smirk on his face.

He strode forward to walk alongside Imam and his boys as they made their way from the ship in the direction of the blue sun.

He could hear Fry saying something to Zeke behind them but he wasn't paying any attention to what she was doing as his mind was going over his conversation with Johns.

(Johns thinks he could stop me from coming along, what does he think me weak cos I am the shortest male here.) Harry thought gritted his teeth, he could feel his fangs wanting to come out as well as his ears itching to change, he hated when others saw him as weak little boy, oh he knew that was sometimes in his favour in getting people to underestimate him because of his looks, but it still made him pissed at times.

(Like I would trust him that caring look, I wasn't born yesterday, him and the so-called captain weren't to be trusted that is for saw, one after his captive and another was most likely to save her own skin, there is no way I am letting the both go off with Imam and the boys, especially Ali. There no telling what would happen to them if I wasn't there.) Harry sighed, his mind so deep in his thoughts he didn't notice one of the boys walking beside him, not till the little one grab his hand.

Holding in a jump he looked down and saw Imam's youngest holding his hand as they walked along, little Ail was smiling up at him before turning back to the front, Harry couldn't help smiling, he was beginning to get a bit of a soft spot for this little child, there was innocent radiating from his little form and that made both sides of him want to protect him and the others, even though he hadn't spoken to any of them in length he couldn't help but want to see them all safe, even Jack who still confused Harry's scenes.

As they passed some pillars of sandy rock Harry could help the shiver that ran down his spin, the feeling of wrongness was coming from them and it set him on edge.

(There is danger here, and it isn't Riddick.)

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 5

They walked for some time. Harry alongside Ali, who was holding his hand still, the little boy hadn't let go and didn't look like he was going to anytime soon. Not that Harry minded all that much he was quiet taken with the boy.

On his other side he had Imam with his other boys and Fry in the front with Johns leading. Though Harry knew it was Johns leading the way and not her, not that he minded so much. He didn't know why he hated her so much yes she tired to kill him but many other had tried the same and he didn't hate them as much as he does her, maybe it was something about her that reminded him of someone from his passed that he had forgotten.

He didn't know but her scent alone set of his creature sides into 'want to kill' mode, he would have to watch that out here, with so few of them he knew that at some point he was going to have to talk to her. Just not at this moment.

Feeling a squeeze on his hand he looked down at Ail and saw he looked concerned, smiling he squeeze his hand back and turned to the front. He had to watch himself, he didn't need to lose control with children around and both his creature side seem to agrees as they calmed down, he didn't know what it was about the kid, but he drew Harry to him.

(Maybe it's because I've always had a soft spot for little ones, and always wanted a big family of my own.) Harry though a bit sadly. He knew without his mate that would be an impossible dream. Feeling another squeeze on his hand, he smiled. He may not be able to have any children now or ever but he will always look after any that were near him.

Harry let his sad thoughts go as he helps the boy stay steady as they walked over the rocky ground, behind him he could hear Imam's chanting.

All of a sudden Harry got the feeling of being watched, looking around he frowned as he couldn't see anything on the hills that surrounded them, he didn't think it was Johns' best idea to walk in between two hills. Looking over to said man he saw that he hadn't been the only one to feel like they were being watched as Johns shot his hand up stopping them all in their tracks.

"Quiet!" Johns shouted back, shushing thing at the same time. Then he stood still, head cocked as if listening.

Everyone watched him, Harry even tried to use his magic senses to feel outwards, but for some reason they were not responding to him. Every time he tried to sense something, all he got was a sleepiness of this dead planet. Like something was lying in wait and he didn't want to be around when it did wake up.

Slowly the feeling of being watched left him as he tired to make head or tails over what was going on.

Shaking his head to clear it, suddenly Harry's head shoot up when small stones rolled down the hill besides Johns, Johns having heard this also, took out his big gun and ran up the hill, leaving the others to watch him leave them.

Taking a deep breath Harry catch Riddick scent, the man had been watching them though the scent was now fading in the breeze. Meaning he had already left.

(He is bloody fast for a man.) Harry thought, shouting behind him drew his attention and he noticed that Ail had let his hand go some time ago. He looked to see Ail and his older brothers were throwing stones up the hill.

Imam came to stop beside him with Fry beside him. Far enough that which made Harry happy as her scent of guilt was giving him a headache. Turning to him Harry cocked brow in question to Imam.

"Seven stones to keep the devil at bay." the holy man explained.

(I bet Riddick's a right old devil… in the bedroom.) A shock went through Harry at the thought. (Merlin, what is wrong with me? It's like I'm in heat or something…. Could it be that Riddick is my… no, that is impossible, it can't be, just get your mind out of the gutter Harry.) Harry thought shaking his head to try and clear the muddle thought.

"You're on a trip to new Mecca right?" Fry asked him.

"Once every life time there should there be a hajj, a great pilgrimage to know Allah better yes, but to know you're self as well." Imam said to her.

Harry watched as a Fry became frighten at Imam's words, (Maybe her thoughts are going back to the crash landing, it wouldn't surprise me if the guilt is eating away at her, sooner or later she will tell someone to ease the weight of guilt.) Harry thought before turning back to Imam.

"Right." She strutted out, smiling painfully at him.

"We're all on the same Hajj now." Imam said thinking it would bring her comfort in her time of need, not know what his words had invoked inside the blonde woman he took the weapon she had gotten from Paris and began to follow where Johns had gone.

Harry followed leaving Fry there, his mind was going over what Imam has said to Fry, he knew that it had rattled her more than she was letting on to Imam but Harry could see it a mile off, he didn't know if she believed in god and that what's got her so spooked.

(Maybe she thinks she will be punished for trying to kill a holy man.) Harry thought slowly making his way up the hill. (Whatever the case I have more important things to worry about then the dear captain, like what the hell Riddick is doing to me, the more time I spend around him the more drew to him I become.)

Harry didn't want to admit it in his own mind what was happening to him, it had been so many years of waiting that he didn't believe that he had met the one person that he had been looking for all his life. (It's no possible, Harry, just stop thinking about it.)

He didn't notice that he had stop walking till he felt a gently tug on his shirt, coming out of his thoughts he looked down into the worried eyes of little Ali, who was standing next to him asking something but Harry didn't understand the little lad.

"He asks if you are well, and why you have stop, I too wish to know if everything is well my friend." Imam asked worriedly, he had seen how his youngest boy acted around the young raven haired man and knew how shy Ali could be around others, to see him holding that hand of a stranger pointed to him being trust worthy.

"I'm fine. It just the heat getting to be a bit, with everything that has happened no one has really taken a break, I'll be ok," he said with a reassuring smile, putting his hand on Ali shoulder.

"This is understandable, we are all thankful to have made it through such a thing, but if the heat becomes too much please let us know, it would be unwise to leave something uncheck in such a place." Imam said wisely, patting Harry on the shoulder.

"I will Imam, don't worry." Harry said nodding. "Let's go, we don't want to fall too far behind Johns."

They parted and made their way up the hill, in the back of Harry mind an image of his dad appeared, Imam did remind him so much of his dad that it was painful but it did also make him happy that there were others with the same kindness as his dad out there.

Riddick crouched down and watched as figures slowly made their way towards him, he knew who was in the front leading them.

~Johns. Couldn't leave your payday free.~ Riddick thought, he knew the man would have geared up to go and find him as soon as he noticed him free, though he didn't think he would bring so many of the survivors with him.

He could see the holy man and his boys, the guilt ridden captain, and….

"Hello again….Harry." Riddick rumbled as he took in the site of the smaller male, he was holding the hand of one of the boys, the youngest one from what he could see.

~This had just got a whole lot more interesting.~ Riddick thought as he turned his head to look over his shoulder at the place he had been staying, there was enough cover there to hide from Johns, though he wouldn't be able to take him out right now, not with all the others there with him, most likely why he brought them along.

Turning back his eyes once again fell on Harry, now that they were closer he could see those lovely green eyes more clearly, (looks like I get to play with you after all.)

Reaching down he plucked up one of the stones and held it in his hand, he had a plan on leading Johns and the group to where he wanted them.

Bending his arm back he got ready to throw the stone when he noticed Harry looking around with a frown on his face, his eyes moving over the hills. Crouching lower when they passed over where he was hiding he could help but admire Green-eyes scenes, there weren't many that could tell they were being watched, it reminded him of a fox he had seen so many years ago.

~Have to see what else you can do Green eyed Vixen.~ Riddick thought. ~hmm…Vixen, that sounds better than Green-eyes.~

"Quite!" Riddick looked sharply to Johns and saw the man looking around slowly.

~Finally notice your being watch there Johns, I think your losing you touch, or is it your 'morning coffee' that making you slow.~ Riddick didn't think more on Johns habits, instead he took aim and threw the stone towards the hill that lead to the graveyard.

He smirked as Johns' head shoot to the falling pebbles before taking his guard out and running up the hill, ~Too easy Johns.~

With that he moved away and moved towards the graveyard, it was time to play with Johns and if he could help it he planned to see what his Green-eyed Vixen could do as well.

A smirk made its way onto his face as he made his way into the shadows of the bones.

Johns crouched down and placed his gun in front of him, he took out his scope and looked through it, looking around the area he couldn't see any clues to where Riddick could of gone, the man was like a ghost, there one minute gone the next, but he had catch him once before and he will do so again.

As he scanned the area he stop when something catch his eye. He couldn't make out what was there but it looked like….

Suddenly he heard foot steps behind him, he waited for them to be right behind him before he shot forward, grabbing his gun, he span round and took aim.

Standing behind him was the blonde captain who looked at him in fear, loosening his hold on the gun he nodded his head at her.

"Sorry," he apologised, behind turning back to see what he had seen before she came up.

He thought the captain was an idiot for coming up on him when she knew that Riddick had him on high alert.

"Did you see anything?" she asked getting over what just happened, she now knew not to come up behind the man without saying something first.

Behind them both the others had catch up and were now standing behind her watching wondering what was going on.

Though Harry not so much as his elven ears had picked up on Fry gasp of fear and Johns' apology, he didn't see what had happened but he could guess, seeing the big gun lying in front of Johns.

Johns moved the focus so that he could make out what he was seeing. To him it looked like trees.

"No Riddick, Tress," Johns said remembering Fry had asked him, "Trees mean water."

'And Riddick,' Johns thought, putting his scope down.

They made their way down and across the rocky ground, as they got closer Harry couldn't help but think that these 'tress' were wrong in a way, they didn't move with the wind that was blowing gently over them and they were too white.

(Unless there are pure white tresses in this time that I haven't seen yet) Harry thought as he followed Johns up the hill the others behind them.

As they made their way up Harry took a deep breath of the air around them, being this close he should be able to pick up the scent of the water, but all he got was dryness of the ground and something else that he couldn't put his finger on, it reminded him of old blood and death, but why would that scent be on a dead planet like this, deciding to think more on it later he focused on finding any water.

But he was getting nothing, and being this close to the tress' he would of smelt something by now. This made Harry think he was right in there being no water here, he was happy he had given those water bottles to Imam and his family, turning to see said family he saw the smiles on their faces and didn't have the heart to tell them the truth, inside he said nothing about it and kept moving.

Walking to the top, they all stopped and stared at the so-called "trees". The tress were bones that joined to the back of the biggest animal Harry had ever seen, it was even bigger an any giant or dragon he had ever seen.

Harry ran his eyes over it, when he got to the end of the rib cage his eyes focused on the area around the beast.

(Oh fucking Merlin.) He couldn't believe there were more beasts, a lot more. It was a graveyard of them, a big one.

"It's a communal graveyard, perhaps. Like the elephants of old Earth," Imam said. Remember reading about it inside a book as a child, though he didn't think he would ever see something like this.

Harry turned his head when he heard one of the boys ask something but again he couldn't understand him, but Imam translated for them all.

"He asked what could have killed so many great things."

"Let's hope we never find out." Harry said to him, looking back over the bone-yard, he now understood why he had smelt old blood and death before.

"Is this whole planet dead?" Fry asked no one, her eyes wide as she looked over the bones.

(Well it would look like it, thank you for stating the obvious. you idiot,) Harry thought as he rolled his eyes, well standing there wasn't going to get them anywhere, so Harry started making his way down into the graveyard, followed by the others.

They all separated as they walked around, Harry was standing by a rib cage of a beast, he turned his head and smiled when he was passed by Ail who was holding a bone stick and running it over the rids, as he went out of view he saw Johns with his gun out and sneaking inside the rids.

(The prey hunting the hunter.) Harry snorted at his thoughts, it was right in a way, Johns was no hunter, Harry could see that in the way he moves and looks for Riddick, he didn't use his instincts and that was he's down fall.

As the man left the area Harry turned back to what he was doing, he ran his hand slowly over the bone, as he did so he could help but felt that something was very wrong here.

The bone had cuts and teeth marks, too small for a human eye as they sand had worn it away with time but Harry could see and feel them clearly, they were on ever beast he had passed, this one even had claw makes.

(What could have taken down so many beasts? And all at the same time.) Harry thought, he knew this was no place these beast came to die, not with all the markings all over the bones, no they were taken down at the same time, shriving, he didn't want to find out what took them out.

Taking a deep breath he picked up the scent of wild forests and blood, it covered the scent of death that cling to theses beast, (looks like Riddick is around here somewhere.)

The man's scent was all over the place, as it surrounded Harry, he became lost to it, blood started pumping through his veins and heat rushed through him, lust curled in his belly, he could feel himself hardening below his belt.

Every time he came upon this scent his reactions were becoming stronger, leaning against the bones, he took a deep breath through his month, he had to hold in a moan as he could the practically taste the man in the air.

But it wasn't only lust that felled Harry but also the hunger, he hadn't feed since Maz and Jas, it felt like such a long time ago. (Is Riddick's scent making be fall into bloodlust?) Harry asked himself as he tried to get a hold of himself.

Not wanting anyone to see him like this and asking awkward questions, seeing a break in the ribs he remembered that was were Johns has exit before, moving over to it he step inside and moved into shadows of a large bone rib cage, he leaned against some of the rids and looked out to where he had come from.

Just as he was going to cast a bubble charm around his head to calm him down, Fry appeared sucking on her air tank.

(Just what I need.) Harry thought sarcastically, he watched as she sat down and lean back in the same spot he was in before, as he watch her his eyes went to her neck and as he saw her pulse beating beneath the skin the idea of drain her became more appealing by the minute.

His hunger won and he moved silently until he came to stand just behind the sitting Fry. She was relaxed and unaware of the danger behind her as she rested against the bone.

Red lips pulled into a dark smile, white fangs grew as hunger became overwhelming, he had enough control to stop his other features from changing fully, though his eyes became tinted red from hunger and rage. He still remember clearly that Fry had tried to kill him and the others, so he wouldn't feel any guilt for killing this bitch only enjoyment.

As Harry wasn't paying attention to anything but Fry and his hunger, he didn't notice Riddick scent was stronger or the large dark shadow falling behind him and coming towards him. His eyes were locked onto Fry's neck and the pulse beating beneath the skin. But before he could do anything, strong arms pulled him back and a hand went over his mouth.

His eyes widen in shock as he was jolted back into a muscularly chest, strong arms pined his arms to his side and he knew he wouldn't be able to break free from Riddick hold, but he wasn't scared at being at the mercy of this killer, the scent that was around him calmed him from the rage he felt from Fry though the hunger was still there it wasn't in control anymore.

He was shocked that he didn't smell or hear Riddick coming up behind him. He had to make sure he didn't do that again, it could end up with him killed.

As his back resting against that hard body he couldn't help the shivers that went down his spine at being so close to a true hunter, he could feel the predator that lied in wait inside Riddick, and that made Harry believe he was no normal human.

The hand on his month moved his head to one side and Riddick lean down and run his nose over the skin of his neck, feeling his breath on his neck nearly made Harry moan as his neck was one of his most sensitive spots, thanks to his vampire side.

Both were so focused on each other that they didn't hear Johns walk up to Fry, Riddick nearly growled at having the blue-eyed-devil so close to him and his Green-eyed Vixen.

Both started to pay attention to what was being said though Harry found it really hard to do so.

"Drink?" Johns said holding out his bottle of booze out.

"Probably shouldn't do this, Dehydrates you even more." Fry informed him, taking a swig and grimacing at the burn of it.

"You're probably right." Johns said, not really caring as he knew that already, taking off his hat he crouched down beside her. "You know you could've stayed at the ship, probably should've."

"If we don't find water, you know what happens." Johns said to her seriously, with her being the only pilot they had they couldn't lose her anytime soon.

"I wanted to get away." She said simply, she didn't want to have this conversation, she could feel the guilt eating away at her.

"I've never seen a captain so ready to leave her ship."

"I think we should keep moving." She said getting up sharply but before she could run from Johns, he asked something that stops her.

"What did Owens mean…?" Johns asked her stopping her. He had been wounding for a while what the man was talking about. "About not touching the handle?"

She didn't say anything at first, and Johns knew that whatever she was hiding was big, he had to get her to talk, so he put on the charm.

"This is between you and me, Carolyn, I promise." He said looking into his eyes.

Behind them Riddick listened to what Johns was trying to get Fry to admit to, he knew she had done something, with all the guilt that hang around her it was something big, he kept on hear on them as he slowly ran his tongue over Harry's neck, taking in his scent. ~Mmm… fuck that scent is driving me mad,~ the hunter thought.

"I'm not your captain." Fry finally said before she looked out in front of her, she didn't want to look at him as she told him what she had tried to do. "During the landing when…things were at their worst, Owens was at his best. He's the one that stopped the docking pilot from dumping the main cabin, passengers."

~Interesting, now I know why Vixen here hates her.~ Riddick thought as he started to suck on Harry's neck, not getting enough of that heavenly taste.

Harry had to hold a moan in his throat at the feeling running all over his body, he hadn't being paying any attention to Fry or Johns he knew already, no he had his full attention to the sexy beast behind him that was doing things that had never been done before.

But Riddick slowed down his torture of his Vixen. He wanted to hear what Fry had to say.

"And the docking pilot being?" Johns asked though he had a clue in who that was.

When she looked at him with that cold face he knew that it was her that tried to kill them in their sleep.

"I guess I'm a little gladder to be here than I thought." Johns said jokingly, making her smile slightly.

That's when a thought hit him so he had to ask. "Is that why you're scared of Harry."

He saw her freeze so he carry on "It's just I couldn't help but notice that he seems angry with you, and you run whenever he comes close."

Fry licked her lips and ran a hand through her hair, she hated that Johns thought she was afraid of that bastard, even though it was true she didn't want to admit it to herself.

"He knows, I don't know how but he knows what happened." She finally said.

"Well he hasn't told anyone and I doubt he will now, don't worry Carolyn, come on we should meet back with the others." Johns said, placing his hat back on his head as he turned from her, they both walked away not know that another now knew the secret.

Though he wasn't much bothered by it as he played with his Vixen, he noticed the bottle Johns left behind. Most likely a trap after all you don't leave a bottle behind when in a desert. Johns was taking cheap shots, did he think that he would be so gone from trist that he would fall for something so simple. He will deal with that later. First he wanted to see what sounds he could make the raven hair beauty make.

"It's been a long time since I smelt beautiful, so tell me my Green-eyed Vixen, why are you so different from all those others sheep out there." Riddick rumbled as he ran his nose from his neck into his hair like, memorising Harry scent to memory, the hand that had been pinning Harry moved

to run across his stomach, it found the edge of his shirt and slipped underneath, Harry let out a shuddered breath at the contact and arch back in pleasures that made Riddick harden as he made this beautiful creature come undone at his fingertips.

(Oh god… what is he doing to me?) He arched back into Riddick, rubbing his ass into the covered crotch behind him, he could feel the hardness there and he couldn't help becoming excited from knowing he had done that.

(If he keeps this up I'm going to start moaning so loudly that everyone will know what is going on and find us out.) Harry thought and as though Riddick knew what he was thinking, the hunter turned him around sharply and before Harry knew what was happening, Riddick crushed his lips to his.

Time seemed to slow, heat rushing through the both at them and inside them both there animal and creature sides were purring as they came closer together. The loneliness that had plagued them was fading and soon it will be gone altogether. They knew what was happening while there human sides were both obvious to it. Harry didn't know that deep inside his magic core, something was pulsing with the beat of his racing heart.

They were too obvious to anything but the pleasure they were feeling as Riddick claimed Harry's month as his own. Harry moaned and wraps his arms around Riddick neck as his came around his waist.

Tongues battled together for domination for a short time and Harry not wanting to give in to the bigger male at first, fought back till he was overwhelmed by Riddick's strength.

With his win Riddick started to map Harry's mouth, putting it all to memory, he couldn't get enough of Vixen, all he wanted to do was throw the male onto the ground and claim him right then and there, he rose a hand into Harry's bound hair and pulled the tire of, freeing the ink black strand, he ran his fingers through it before grabbing it to hold harry in place as he took his fill from his month.

(It feels as though he's trying to eat me from the mouth down, and I don't mind at all being his meal…) Harry thought but all went blank as Riddick cut his tongue on one of the Harry's fangs, accidentally or on purpose Harry didn't know, all he could do is moan as the sweetest blood he had ever taste filled his mouth and let the flow down his throat.

"HARRY!" Johns called from somewhere.

They slipped slowly out of the passionate haze that had fallen over them at Johns call, both were breathing hard as their hearts raced, looking down Riddick growled, Harry's hair was unbound and flowing over his back that he could felt the silkiness on his arms, his green eyes glowing and dazed from what he had done to him and lips swollen red with a small droplet of his blood spilling from the corner.

Riddick would like nothing more than stay there but another call from the blue eyed devil made it know he had to go.

It didn't stop him being pissed that Johns had gotten in the way of him claiming Harry.

Growling, Riddick slowly let Harry go, if a bit reluctantly, his hand held onto Harry's hips till he knew he wouldn't fall over.

"See you around, Vixen," Riddick growled in his ear before disappearing into the shadows and was

gone. Dazed, Harry tried to get his thoughts together.

"HARRY!"

Jumping at the yell, Harry quickly fix himself up, straightening his shirt and bending down to grab his hair tie, he quickly put his hair back in order as he moved out of the rib cage, his mind was racing with everything that just happened, running his tongue over his lips he catch the last drop of Riddick blood, having that taste in his month was unbelievable, it was like nothing he had ever tasted before.

(Snap out of it Harry.) Harry though before he started to make his way towards were Johns was calling, he hoped he didn't look as ravaged as he felt as he had no way of explaining what happened and there was no way he was telling them he saw Riddick.]

Clearing his thought he started to run through the bone-yard.

"WHAT?" Harry shouted as he came towards the others.

"What the hell happened to you?" Johns demanded as soon as he spotted him.

"Harry, are you alright my son?" Imam asked in concern.

"I'm fine. I was just looking as the skeletons, I've never seen anything like them before," Harry explained looking at Imam with a smile. "My mind must have wandered and I didn't hear your call."

"It is best if we stick together from now on, we wouldn't want to leave anyone behind." Johns said to them though his eyes were on Harry.

They all nodded before moving on, up ahead of them was a canyon, they all looked at the sides of it as they walked down it, Harry was following behind Imam with Fry behind him and Johns at the back this time, the kids where in front.

As they walked through it, Harry could every so often feel Johns' gaze on him, he didn't know why the guy would be looking at him but he ignored it as hid mind was going over images of him and Riddick, he couldn't believe he let the man kiss him, oh he had kissed overs before but none were like that bloody kiss.

(Fucking Merlin, how could I just kiss him like that, it's not like me, 'Harry the bloody virgin' I've kissed some people in my time but not with raw lust like at, how could I kiss a non-mate like a staving man….) Harry nearly stopped in shock at that, his heart began to race and his mind went blank for a second.

Getting his wits about him, he shook off such a thought before it could appear in his mind fully, (It can't be, no…. Harry, stop getting your hopes up.) He thought in denial. His mind not accepting something he had waited so long for. To not be alone anymore.

His mind now clear of any thoughts, he walked under a bone spine that was overhead, it looked like one of the beast were taken down in the canyon away from its herd, looking up at the bones he once again saw the same marking as the others.

"Hassan! Suleiman!"

Harry look towards the voice and saw little Ail kneeling on the ground looking at this brothers.

"What's going on up there?" Harry asked Imam, who was next to him. They walked over in time to see Ali take out what looked like a toy robot from the sand.

One of the boys ran off to where Johns and Fry were lagging behind, Harry paid it no mind as he watched Ail start to clear the dome head of the toy.

As sunlight hit it, it started to rotate inside, when Fry and Johns stopped beside them she took the toy from Ali and looked at it in shock, looking up at Johns they had the same thought, the one Harry voiced.

"Looks like we're aren't the first ones here." He said looking at them.

It wasn't long before they came upon the place that the toy had come from, as they walked towards it one of Imams boys started calling out.

But Harry could only smell what he smelt back at that graveyard, death and old blood.

As they got closer to the settlement, Fry called out, "Is there anyone here!"

(Looks more like a ghost town,) Harry thought, they all separated once again, forgetting what Johns has said about sticking together.

Harry entered one of the smaller buildings that looked like someone's home once upon a time. Stepping inside he found himself in a small living room/kitchen, there were pictures of a happy family, dusty cups still on the table and as he look closer there was plates in the sink.

Picking one of the frames up, Harry looked into the face of a man with glasses and a happy smile as he hugs a little boy to him the front of him.

Looking up and around at the place Harry had the skinning feeling in his stomach, looking back down at the picture he could help feeling.

(These people didn't leave,) Harry thought sadly, gently putting the frame back on the counter.

"Hello Mecca!" Fry cried joyfully from outside.

Going outside to see what had got her so happy he spotted Johns, Imam and the kids walking towards where Fry had shouted. Steeping fully out of the house he fell in beside Johns.

It wasn't long to find Fry but it was what she was standing in front of that catch everyone's attention.

"A ship." Harry whispered in shook. It looked old and hadn't been used in some time but it was a ship, they had a way of getting off this rock.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 6

Looking over the ship Harry was slightly worried. It looked like it had been sitting there for years, dust and sand was all that they found inside and Harry found it strange that the hatch of the ship was down.

He watched as Fry made her way inside and started to play around with whatever was in there. Harry didn't have a clue on how to work a ship, he couldn't learn when he was with Maz and his crew, not after telling them he had crashed on the planet.

(Something I need to learn. I can't rely on others to take me from planet to planet, plus it could be fun flying my own ship.) Harry thought, a small smile making it way onto his face. He did miss flying, it was the one thing that would lift his mood and make him feel so much freedom for a short time.

"We should be head back, there no juice in this baby but if I can get one of the ship power cells I can see if everything is up and running." Fry said to them as she walked out of the ship.

"We need tools to get the water flowing." Imam explained. He had tried to get the old machine

working, but without the right tools there was nothing he could do. He was just thankful to Harry for the bottles of water, as all his family had drunk from them now.

"Alright, we're going to start to head back, get what we need and bring it back here." Johns said.

"Let's go then shall we." Harry said before taking Ali's hand and walking back the way they came.

He could hear the others following and not long after, Johns started walking beside him. The guy put him on edge. There was something not right about him and it made Harry wary but he couldn't let on for now, as it looked like others had already spotted his hatred from Fry.

It was quiet for most of the trip back, it was easier too as they had land marks this time to make their way back to the ship, the canyon and then the graveyard.

They were just coming out of it when Johns suddenly started talking to him.

"So why did you want to come on this little trip." John asked him, "I can understand the holy man and even the Captain but I don't see why you wanted to get away."

"The scent of blood was getting to me." Harry halt-lied, "plus I was no use back at the ship. Here at least I am another pair of eyes."

"Blood? I didn't smell any of that." Johns said. He was confused by this guy, he had beauty that most women and some males would kill for but Johns couldn't help feeling there was more to this pretty face.

"I've always had a good nose," Harry joked, he may not like this man but for now he would play nice.

"What'd you do before all this." Johns asked.

"Travelled mostly, I don't like sticking to one spot for too long." Harry said, another half-lie as he had only been on Mac's ship, but Johns didn't need to know that.

"I can tell you some places to head to," Johns flirted.

But before Harry could answer there were gun shots in the air and screaming. Johns shot forward and the others followed behind, Harry couldn't go to fast as Ali was clinging to his hand in fear.

Harry fell behind the others as little Ali was getting tired and starting to slow, hearing yelling up ahead and what sounded like fighting, Harry was quick in picking the boy up and rushing towards the others.

He had just tired around a corner to see Shazza going mad shouting about killing him, and being held back by Fry of all people.

(Oh my Merlin, Riddick.) Harry thought in shock as he saw the man lying on the ground in pain, just as he was about to step towards him, Shazza got free enough to send a swift kick to Riddick's head knocking him unconscious.

Harry growled and his eyes flashed red but no one noticed as Shazza was still screaming about killing Riddick and something about her Zeke.

Hearing a whimper Harry looked down to see Ali's head was buried in his chest in fright, everyone was shouting and panicking.

"Quiet!" Harry called out, but they didn't hear him over there shouting, this was pissing him off. First there was a man he had made out with not a few hours ago laid out on the ground, and he had a frighten child in his arms that was whimpering at all the shouting.

Harry had had enough.

"Silence!" Harry roared.

Everyone froze. Shazza stopped fighting with Fry and Imam, and the others stopped speaking and shouting, they all looked at Harry in shock.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Harry growled out.

"He killed Zeke! He killed him!" Shazza cried out though she didn't start fighting again to get at Riddick.

Harry knew he wouldn't get any more information from her, not with how hysterical she was. Fry seem to know this as well as she pulled Shazza away and back to the ship, the others not knowing what to do, followed. Harry placed Ali down and pushed him into his father's arms so he could be taken back.

Johns unfroze as well and started to drag Riddick back to the ship, so he could restrain him before he woke up again. Harry felt the blood rage coming close to the surface as Johns dragged Riddick into the cargo hold.

He took a deep breath and calmed down, he was glad his eyes only flashed red or he would be explaining a lot right now, and this wasn't the time. Hearing all that had nearly made Harry truly blew his top, it was taking everything he had not to kill Johns as he drug Riddick on the ground, knowing he had beaten Riddick. Shazza didn't help when she was still screaming to kill Riddick but he could understand that she wasn't in her right mind with the death of her husband.

(Merlin, I nearly gave myself away though. I need to keep this under wraps, but it's getting harder the longer I go without a full feed. What Riddick gave me wasn't enough) Harry thought, as he turned and made his way to where he could smell all the blood was coming from.

The scent got stronger, so strong that Harry could feel his fangs come out. Paying them no mind he came to the place where Zeke died, the first thing he noticed was all the blood on the ground and around a hole. There was no body though and Harry found that to be strange.

Jumping down into it, he moved closer to the hole and took in a deep breath. trying to block out the scent of blood to see if there is anything else. He could pick out Zeke's, and Riddick's, Shazza's scent was closer to the edge so he ruled out her scent and focussed on Riddick's and Zeke's.

Going closer to the dark hole, he found there was nothing of Riddick. (Meaning he wasn't close to Zeke when he died.)

(So if Riddick didn't kill Zeke, who did.) Harry though going closer to the hole, (and where the hell is the body.)

Just as he got closer to the hole to look inside he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. He felt like he was in danger, like there was a predator watching him. Warily, he took a deep breath from the hole and the scent he picked up was Zeke and something else, something not human.

He had never come across anything like it, hearing a clicking sound suddenly he jumped back and stared into the darkness.

He wished he could use his other sight to see what the hell was in there but with all this sun light it would blind him within seconds. Louder clicking came from the hole and Harry couldn't stop himself from jumping farther from the hole. Everything inside him said fight or flight.

He chose flight.

"Fuck!" Harry growled out as he backed away from the hole as fast as he could. Something was in there and he really didn't want to find out what.

But he got the feeling that the 'dear Captain' would want know what had happened to Zeke when they realized that Riddick wasn't the one that killed him. He just hoped when it came down to it, she would be the one to enter instead of sending someone else down into the darkness.

As he made his way back to the ship, he passed the group that was standing around talking but paid it no mind. When he was inside, he didn't stop till he was near the area where Riddick had been chained up.

The man was slumped over and his arms chained away from in the form of a cross. Johns wasn't going to let him have the freedom of his arms this time. Looking the male over, he saw a bruise forming on his head as well as some small cuts he had gotten from his fight with Johns.

Opening his bag, he listened to make sure there was no one around before taking out his the glass case that held his wand. He could do it wandlessly but with how hungry he was, he couldn't chance it so using the wand was the next best thing, he didn't want Riddick hurt like this and healing the wounds would stop him from wanting to kill someone, namely Johns. Pointing his wand at Riddick he silently cast a mild healing spell, and the small wounds began to heal, the bruising on Riddick's head was the last to vanish.

Feeing happy that the man would wake without feeling any pain, Harry dipped into his bag again and took out a dragon hide holster, lifting the arm of his shirt he tired it around and place his wand inside it. He felt better having it close by after what he felt back at that hole.

Putting the glass case back into the bag, he closed it and moved to sit down. He sat his bag beside him and leaned back with a sigh, the shadows hiding him enough for others to miss him if they came so he let his guard down and relaxed, keeping an eye on the unconscious male.

He shook his head to clear it then leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees and placed his head in his hands while letting out a sigh. He was too stressed about everything, it was like one bad thing after another then an image of Riddick holding him flashed through his mind.

(Ok it hasn't been all bad but even that I didn't understand.) Harry was confused and wished he had his dad's and papa's words of wisdom to help him.

"Come on, I've lived more than hundreds of years, I shouldn't be this naïve about what's happening to me." Harry whispered to himself.

His emotions had been all over the place since the crash; the rage, the lust and the fear, it was overwhelming him and he didn't have a clue in what to do. He had never been through something like this before.

The memories of the rage he felt when he saw Johns and Shazza hurting Riddick confused him the most. He still didn't like how he was acting around Riddick, first that kiss and now the rage, like he wanted to protect him.

Letting out another sigh, Harry was so deep in his thoughts he wasn't paying attention what was

happening around him and didn't see Riddick start to move as he came around.

Riddick held in a growl when he came to and noticed that he was once again chained up, and he could tell he wasn't going be getting free from this position without help.

A scent drifted to his nose, that heavenly scent that made him act so out of charterer that he had been shocked he wasn't fighting it more. Lifting his head he looked across from him and there, siting in the shadows, Riddick could clearly see his Vixen.

He could smell the confusion and turmoil that Harry was going through and Riddick didn't like the feeling it invoked inside him. "Well, well, well…. What's my little Green-eyed Vixen doing down here in the shadows?" Riddick rumbled.

Jolting back in shock, Harry's eyes shoot to Riddick, only to be captured by gorgeous pools liquid silver.

(Oh Merlin those are his eyes.) Harry thought in shock. Heat began to rush all over his body and, with a slight blush on his cheeks, Harry got up from his seat and moved closer to the bound man.

He couldn't take his eyes off Riddick's, he had never seen eyes like that before, not even in the magical world.

Remembering what Riddick had said, Harry couldn't help but start flirting with the dangerous man.

"The shadows are where I belong, Riddick. I have lived in them so long that they are a part of me, but a friend once told me that I am also a being of light." Harry whispered, only a few steps away from Riddick now.

"In the darkness you can find light, in the light you can find darkness," Harry said, his voice getting softer then he stopped right in front of Riddick. He was so close he was standing between the big man's legs.

Leaning down, his lips were so close they were milometers from Riddick's, their eyes not leaving the others as their breath mixed, the tension was so thick you would need a diamond blade to cut through it.

"And I am both," Harry breathed, his lips nearly touching Riddick's.

"Your no human, Vixen, I know that, the darkness clings to you and the light welcomes you into its arms." Riddick said. He knew he only had to lean forward to claim Harry's lips once more, the sexual tension was getting higher and higher by the second but nether moved to break it.

"You're smarter than they think you are," Harry said smirking, "Yes I am nonhuman, have been for a very long time Riddick, so long in fact I can't remember ever being human."

Harry raised a hand and ran a finger over the side of Riddick's face, Riddick let out a growl and closed his legs around Harry, the muscles so tight that Harry would have some trouble in getting free, not that he wanted to.

Riddick took a deep breath of Harry's scent, could smell the burning lust that was nearly at its breaking point, but there was also fear, not of him but something, something that happened while he had been out.

"What's got you scared, Vixen." Riddick growled.

"How…" Harry broke off.

"I can smell it clinging to your scent like a leech." Riddick explained, leaning forward and moving his nose over Harry's.

"You were there when that prospector died." Harry said softly, not answering Riddick question, he needed to know what had killed the man. "Did you see what took him?"

Riddick eyed him but let it go, he would know soon enough. "So, you don't think I did it?"

Harry's lips curled slowly into a smirk.

"Come now, Riddick. You're an experienced hunter. Anyone in their right mind would realize that you could never be stupid enough to hide the body then stay at the crime scene to be caught. Not after you've just won your freedom, plus there wasn't a drop of blood on you, and no one could get away without getting some blood on them, not with how much was spilled around that hole." Harry purred as he ran his hand down the side of Riddick's face again.

"No. I didn't see it." Riddick turned his head to place an open-mouthed kiss on his palm before looking back at Harry as he took a shape intake of air, lust clouding the air around them more, "Is that what's got you scared?"

"There is something in that hole, a predator, it hides in the darkness and waits. Those clicking sounds sent shivers down my spine." Harry explained.

"Told the Blue-eyed Devil about those when he asked." Harry looked at him confused, when was that.

"I came to when he dragging me in here, bastard knocked me out after." Riddick growled.

Harry let out a small growl at that, though he was surprised at the anger he felt at knowing Johns had hit Riddick again.

"What hold do you have over me, Riddick?" Harry asked. Confusion flittered through his eyes briefly, "Why is it only you that sends the heat rushing through my body when so many others have tried and failed?"

A light frown appeared on his face though that didn't stop him from sliding his arms around Riddick's neck, bring them chest to chest.

"I was going to ask you the same question, Vixen." Riddick growled, taking in Harry scent.

"You draw me to you Riddick, like a moth to the flame, waiting to be burned…." Harry breathed, opening his mouth slightly and running his tongue over Riddick's lips to get another taste of the man.

"Will you burn me Riddick, will you set me aflame? Make me scream your name?"

Growling, Riddick captured those tempting lips before thrusting his tongue into Harry's mouth. Moaning, Harry moved as close as he could being trapped in-between Riddick's strong thighs, he moved his arms from around Riddick neck and let them roaming over the man's chest taking in every detail he could.

Slowly one of them wandered down until he bravely palmed a huge, very hard, straining erection that caused Riddick to almost roar in pleasure. Shivers went down Harry's spine at the thought of

that inside him. Moans and growls came from both of them at that before breaking for breath. Riddick then went for Harry's neck, biting and sucking, trying to mark the pale flesh. Harry purred and moved his head to the side giving Riddick more room.

"You like this, don't you?" Riddick purred as he nipped the now red skin before licking Harry's right ear, his tongue trailing over the outer shell.

"Riddick," Harry moaned helplessly, and Riddick chuckled in the same ear before moving back to Harry's swollen dark red lips. Harry moved his arms back around Riddick's neck before pushing his hips into Riddick's, moaning as he rubbed his straining erection against the others, swallowing the growl that came from Riddick.

Just as things where getting hotter, they both heard fast footsteps heading their way. Breaking apart, Harry whimpered at the lost of heat. Quietly and quickly, he gave the larger man one last, sweet kiss.

"I won't let them leave you here," he whispered into Riddick's ear before moving fast into the shadows where Riddick could see him but no other. Riddick took this time to calm down and get rid of the lust that clouded his mind, he would play with his Vixen again later, for now he had someone else to mess with.

Harry took a few seconds to calm his breathing and heartbeat, he couldn't deny it anymore. There was no other reason why he would be acting like this with the other… Riddick was his mate.

It explained everything. Being drawn to his scent, wanting to be as close to him as possible and letting the man dominate him. Harry became pissed though when he saw fucking Fry storm into the room.

"So, where's the body?" she demanded. Getting frustrated when he didn't answer, Fry asked again. Still not receiving an answer, she let out a sigh and continued, "Well, do you want to tell me about the sounds? Look, you told Johns you heard something."

Still no answer came from Riddick and Harry was still pissed at getting interrupted for the second time.

"That's fine. You don't want to talk to me. That's your choice." She said seriously, "But, just so you know, there's a debate right now as to whether we should just leave you here to die."

She turned to leave, having enough of the man that she feared but also attracted her with his looks and energy. She'd nearly made it to the door when Riddick's voice stopped her.

"You mean the whispers?" Riddick said darkly, his words rumbling through out the silence room.

It sent shivers down the other two occupant's spines but Fry shook it off and turned back around to face him before walking closer. Though she was wary, he was a killer after all, she needed to know. Taking a breath she asked. "What whispers?"

Riddick held back a smirk. It was time to mess with this little blonde, she had interrupted his time with his sexy Vixen after all, plus he didn't like getting blue balls, so with that in mind he answered her.

"The ones telling me to go for the sweet spot, just to the left of the spine. Fourth lumbar down. The abdominal aorta. It's a metallic taste, human blood. Copperish. If you cut it with peppermint schnapps, that goes away..." Riddick dark voice sent heat and shivers all over Harry's body, it was like dark chocolate mixed with a primal animal waiting to be let out. He was brought out of his

thoughts as Fry's interrupted the rest of his speech and he let out a quiet hiss that only Riddick picked up.

"Do you want to shock me with the truth now?" Fry asked dryly, though both men could hear the anger in the tone of her voice, but under that was fear, fear of the man she was standing in front of. She would be even more freaked out if she knew Harry was behind her.

Riddick was getting to her and it made Harry chuckle silently in amusement at his mate's humour.

"All you people are so scared of me, but one. Most days, I'd take that as a compliment. But it ain't me you got to be worry about now." Riddick said, giving her a small clue, though he didn't think she would pick up on it.

"Show me your eyes, Riddick…" Fry suddenly asked out of no were.

Harry saw Riddick smirk as she asked this, she didn't notice it in the shadows but Harry could clearly tell that Riddick was amused by her request.

A little smirk crossed Harry's lips as he thought of what Riddick had planned for her, but when he took in a slight breath he could smell something under the fear she was pouring out, something that had rage burning slowing in the pit of his stomach, and that was lust.

"You'd have to come a lot closer for that." Riddick purred darkly.

Fry moved slowly closer to the bound man and though her steps were wary of getting so close to the Big Bad, she didn't let that stop her.

Harry felt his fangs grow in as more of her scent filled the room, he could hear her heat pounding making the blood rush through her veins. Running his tongue over his lips, he watched.

"Closer." Riddick whispered, she was nearly there, just a bit more.

Fry wiped her sweaty palms on her trousers, she was nervous but that didn't stop her from moving even closer, she was only a few steps away from him when suddenly, Riddick lunged forward as far as he could go with the restrains on his arms, his eyes shoot open and stared unblinkingly in hers.

She jumped back a few steps, her heart feeling like it was going to shoot out of her chest. Pounding so hard it hurt, but she barely noticed as she couldn't take her eyes off those liquid sliver pools that seem to stare into her soul. Moving backward some more, she nodding her head nervously.

As she backed away, she didn't notice Harry coming out of the shadows behind her, not until she backed into him and nearly screamed.

"Now what's going on here?" Harry purrs. Fry spun around in shock and gasped as she looked into the glowing green eyes of Harry. Suddenly a feeling of being prey hunted by a predator came over Fry.

Before she could answer, a voice suddenly called out behind them. "Where the hell can I get eyes like that?" All three look towards the sound, seeing the kid Jack hanging off a ladder.

"Gotta kill a few people." Riddick answered.

"That's okay, I can do it." Jack said as he hopped off of the ladder, excited to be talking to Riddick.

"Then you gotta get sent to a slam where they say you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs." Jack grinned.

"So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark?"

Riddick turned to face Jack, smirking. "Exactly."

"Leave." Fry said harshly to Jack, having had enough. Jack ignored her and looked at Harry.

"Yours are awesome too. How do you get them to glow like that?" Harry smiled at him.

"Thank you. However, mine are little harder to acquire." Jack leaned forward, looking excited.

"Yeah?"

Harry looked at the boy calmly. He didn't think it would be a good idea to tell him the truth, not with the nosey captain around but he did want to mess with her a little seeing as there was still lust for Riddick around her.

"Yes. To get eyes like mine, you have to die and be reborn, all in an instant. Then you spend the next twenty years of your life being hunted by a madman, who wants nothing more that to see your blood spilled at his feet. He has to kill everyone you've ever loved and then go for you last, so that when you kill him by ripping his heart from his chest and incinerating his very soul to hell… you enjoy it. Then you spend what feels like eternity looking for that one person who can make you complete… make you sane again. That's how you get eyes like mine." Harry said, smiling like he was talking about the weather.

Jack stared at him in a mixture of shock and awe, Fry with horror, while Riddick's gaze was full of lust. Harry thought he did a job well done but it was time to throw Fry off some more, he didn't need her telling the others what he said as truth after all.

Harry let out a deep laugh at the looks on their faces, and he began his lie, "I was joking kid, I picked up how to use the light in such a way that it make it appear like my eyes are glowing. Learned it from my papa, he was the best at it." Harry lied though it was the truth about the bit about his papa. "His death glares were feared by even the strongest of men."

"Cool." Jack said in awe, he wanted to learn how to make his eyes do something like that.

Swallowing what felt like her heart at his first explanation, Fry couldn't help but feel that he was lying, but what part of was lie she didn't know, instead she turned to the boy on the stairs.

"Leave, Jack. Go upstairs right now," she said, her voice trembling slightly at the end. Though the boy didn't notice it, the men did, Harry had shaken her up a lot more then she wanted anyone to know.

Jack looked disappointed, before grinning at Riddick and Harry once more and turned and went back up the ladder, leaving all three of them alone again.

"Now that wasn't very nice 'Captain,' after all he's only a curious kid," Harry said dryly as he walked closer to Fry, making her feel trapped.

"As you were when you asked to see Riddick's eyes." he purred.

"W... what are you doing down here? You should be with the others, outside." she stuttered as she

turned to Harry, watching him warily. Harry raised a brow at her stuttering.

"Are you scared of me Fry?" he asked with a purr, moving closer with each step.

"Or are you scared of what I know. Hm?" the scent of fear rose sharply, and it took everything for Harry to stop his fangs from showing.

"Harry!" A shout came from outside, they could all hear that it was Johns calling, though for what could be anyone guess.

With a smirk, Harry tilted his head and turned around, suddenly moving to go outside.

"I'll leave you two alone, for now. It seems Johns is calling. But we will chat again, my dear." Harry said before he was gone.

Fry let out a breath she had been holding before turning back to Riddick, not paying any attention to the smug smirk that was on his face.

Riddick hid how hard he was from the woman in front of him, he didn't need her to know that Harry's performance had made his harder than a rock, instead he turned back to her and turned her attention back to what they had been talking about.

"Did I kill a few people?" he said as he sat down again, his face disappearing in the darkness as he leaned back, leaving only his eyes shining out like two silver beacons that pulled at her.

It took a moment for Fry to remember their earlier conversation and she blinked at the change. He said darkly, "Sure. Did I kill Zeke? No. You got the wrong killer."

"He's not in the hole. We looked." She said loudly, her nerves on edge.

"Look deeper."

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 7

Harry walked into the light of the sun and blinked his eyes to get used to glare again. When the spots were gone, he looked around for Johns, wondering why the man had called for him in the first place. He couldn't think of any reason why the blond had anything to say to him.

It pissed him off a little at being interrupted so much though, first by Fry and now Johns. It was like someone or more likely fate, didn't want him talking to Riddick. He would have to deal with it for now but nothing was going to stop him later.

Sighing, Harry looked around and spotted Jack and the other boys watching him, he gave them a smile and waved his hand. Watching them smile and wave back Harry couldn't help his eyes falling on Jack.

Looking at him, Harry didn't know what to make of the boy. There was still something strange about him that Harry hadn't worked out yet but the way he was talking in there had concerned him. He knew that kids liked to look up to someone but to easily say that they could kill was another matter entirely. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Johns coming towards him.

"Where'd you run off to, Harry?" Johns asked, stopping beside Harry and looking down at the shorter man.

"I was just looking in the ship for anything useful, Johns. Couldn't find anything though, hopefully there's something at the settlement that will be of some help to us." Harry explained though it did piss him off that he had to explain himself at all. (Is that the only reason he called me out here?) Harry thought angrily. Instead of being inside with Riddick, he was stuck out here in the glaring sun with a man that smelled like a hospital.

Seeing Johns eyes move over his body, he decided to have some fun with the man as payback for hurting his Riddick.

"You shouldn't worry so much about little old me." Harry purred as he gave him a seductive smile. "There's no need. I can take care of myself, very well..."

As he purred the last word he could smell the waves of lust pouring off Johns sky rocket and looking down slightly, he could see that Johns' pants had begun to tent in the front. Knowing that the man had gotten hard made Harry laugh inside, it took everything he had not to let it out. Johns was so easy to play with.

"I bet you can." Johns smirked at him, blue eyes not leaving that sexy body.

Hearing storming feet coming from the ship Harry knew it was time to go. Fry would head to Johns first with what she had learned from Riddick, though he didn't know what she planned to do with that information.

"See you later Johns." Harry purred before he turned and walked towards Imam and his boys, a sway in his hips to further tease Johns.

Coming to a stop beside the others, he turned to watch the action, he knew it was going to be good from the look on Fry's face as she stormed out of the ship.

Fry made her way directly towards Johns where Harry had left him with a 'little problem.'

But Johns soon forgot that when he heard Fry start speaking.

"We're heading back to the hole. Riddick denied killing Zeke and when I asked about where he was, he said something about looking deeper." Fry said to them all, before she asked. "Can one of you grab some rope or line that we can use as well as a flashlight?"

Paris nodded before doing as she asked, Imam said something to the oldest, Suleiman, and the lad ran off, mostly likely for the rope she wanted.

Harry couldn't help feeling something bad was going to happen and he didn't like it.

As she moved closer to Johns, Harry didn't catch whatever she said to him but whatever it was got rid of Johns problem all together. Johns stormed away from her, rubbing his head in frustration.

The others looked to Fry, but all she did was walk after him. Paris soon came back with a flashlight while Suleiman had run up with some black rope and with that they followed after Fry and Johns.

As the group moved towards the spires, the feeling Harry had had from earlier was getting worst, (Why to I feel like the lamb getting lead to the slaughter?) Harry thought as walked alongside the others.

Glancing down at the movement to the right and left of him, he had to smile as Jack and Ali walked next to him, grinning as they looked back up at him. Harry put a hand on each of their shoulders, squeezing them softly in reassurance.

As they caught up with Fry and Johns, they all heard the slightly heated conversation they were having.

"Let me tell you what I think happened, I think he went off on the guy and buried him in the hills somewhere, and now he's got you believing there something else out there." Johns sneered. Fry had stormed ahead of him and the others, her steps showed she was determined to get to the bottom of what Riddick had told her.

"Well, let's just be sure." Fry said back to him, she didn't believe Johns explanation.

Even the others were disbelieving to that explanation. It all happened so fast there was no way Riddick had had the time from when the shots fired to Shazza coming upon him to hide Zeke's body.

"Look, murders aside, Riddick belongs in the asshole hall of fame. He loves to jaw jack and loves to make you feel afraid, because that's all he has and you're playing right into it."

"I don't know why I am even explaining this to you Johns, you're a cop, for God's sake, we've got to find his body."

"Hey I'll go!" Jack said suddenly.

"Like hell you will," Harry said, entering the conversion. He glared at the boy, starting to think the teen was trying to prove that he was a man, though if he thought about it, kids his age were always like that. "But I'm brave enough to go." Jack said huffily.

"It's not about being brave, Jack. It's about being smart." Harry said to him. There was no way he was letting the kid go down the hole, there was something down there that had killed Zeke within seconds and he really didn't want to find out what.

They all fell silent after that and made their way to the small hole where Zeke's body had disappeared.

Coming closer to it, Harry couldn't help the shiver that ran down his spine. He didn't know why he was feeling so tense the closer they got to the hole but something was setting off his creature sides and the feeling of fight or flight was back. Not as strong as last time though, so whatever had set it off last time had gone for now.

(I've got a bad feeling about this,) He thought as they all stopped and looked down into the small dich and hole. Harry could feel someone watching him and when he looked up he saw Fry staring at him with a scheming look on her face that didn't bold well for him.

"So who is going down there?" Jack asked, looking around at the adults. "I think Harry should go." The blonde said suddenly, making the group turn to her. "It was your goddamn idea, Fry, no use putting someone else's life in danger for a fucked up plan." Johns said, glaring at her and ignoring the others as they gathered around.

"Riddick's just trying to get at you. He likes doing that; shootin' his mouth off to keep people guessing. And guess what, he's good at it. So if you're gonna fall for his shit, then gamble your own life." Johns growled at her, he didn't like this plan one bit. "Hey!" Harry said loudly, frowning at Johns and Fry as they turned to him, "Including me would be a good start as I'm

standing right here."

Once he had there attention he asked "Now, I would like to know what the hell you two are going on about. How did the plan for ME to go down that hole come about?"

When did Fry think it was a good idea for him to go down that hole? (Could it be her way at getting back at me from what happened in the ship or to stop me from talking about what she tried to do when we were crashing?) Harry thought, but he didn't care. Whatever reason she had in sending him down there, he wasn't going to give in to her anytime soon. "Her plan is for someone to go down the hole to look for Zeke. As you can see, they have to be small." Johns said, there was a grim look on his face as he pointed to the small opening. He didn't know why Fry wanted Harry to go down when it was her idea to look deeper just because Big Bad said so.

Bitch was listening to Riddick a little too much for Johns' peace of mind, he would keep his eye on that, but for now he had to stop Fry from doing something stupid.

Harry on the other hand was eyeing Fry, sizing her up, she was only a few inches taller than him but still small enough to go down herself.

"She looks small enough to me. So what's the problem, besides the fact that it's a fucking stupid idea?" Harry said, crossing his arms around his chest, but the triumphant look Fry was wearing put him on edge, looks like she wasn't going to let this go. "I'm just a bit taller than you," she said. "So you're the smallest, not counting the children." "I'll go," Jack jumped in again, he really wanted to see what was in the hole. "You not going and that's that, kid," Harry shot back. He could feel danger coming from the darkness, and it was terrifying him. "So," Fry said, interrupting whatever Jack was going to argue back with. "Since you're the smallest adult," here she shot Jack a look, "I think you should go." "Like fuck I will. I may be small but I don't have a death wish." Harry said sneering at Fry. "I have no reason to go down there, it's easy to tell something took the man without going down there at all."

He was holding himself back from hitting the bitch. She had her mind set on him going into that hole, but he wasn't going anywhere near it unless there was a bloody good reason to.

(And I doubt she can come up with one.) Harry thought, sneering at the bitch, she was really starting to annoy him. "Did you listen to a single fucking word I said, Fry? It's your goddamn idea. You're small enough to go down, so go ahead and be ballsy with your own fucking life." Johns said angrily. "He is the smallest and can fit down easily. He'll have the rope tied to his waist anyway, if there's any trouble." Fry said calmly to him. "And no one here knows how to pilot that skiff we found or get it going up and running."

That point shut Johns up, he could pilot the skiff but he had no clue in getting it up and running, but he still didn't see the point of going down at all, Riddick killed the man, it was time to move on already.

"So what cause your life is more valuable, I have to give mine up for your bloody plan?!" Harry demanded. He had to fight himself to stop his eyes from changing. "If something else happened, you would send one of the others to check it out because you too bloody important to go yourself."

"Is that what I am hearing Fry," Harry sneered, grinding his teeth together at her balls, "It's not like you haven't put your own life before others, before."

The others, minus Johns looked at him confused, wondering what he was talking about while Fry paled at his last words. She knew for sure now that Harry knew what she'd tried to do, but before she could deny what his words Shazza had had enough of the fighting.

"Look, I will go, it's my Zeke." Shazza shouted out of nowhere, her tone showed how distress she was, "Just stop fucking fighting."

Shazza had had enough of them fighting about looking for her Zeke, she needed to know what happened to him. If Riddick had killed him then no one was stopping her from killing the bastard. If he hadn't then….she didn't know what she was going to do, her mind was spinning in circles, everything was happening too fast and she just wanted it all to stop.

She wanted her Zeke.

Harry looked her over. She was pale and was slightly trembling, Harry could tell there was no way she was going down that hole, not with her still being in shock with what happened to her lover.

"Shazza you can't go, we need you in getting some of the things back at the settlement up and running." Fry said to her. She wanted Harry down there, she didn't think too much on him dying, after all she wasn't a murder, and like Johns said Riddick could be bull-shiting her to get a rise out of her like before.

"I need to know," Shazza strongly, "I need to know what happened to my Zeke, and if that fucker in there said that he was down there, then I should be the one to look for him."

Harry knew she couldn't go, she would get killed as soon as she came across what had taken Zeke and with the state she was in, she most likely wanted that to happen. He couldn't help be reminded of his papa, even though the man never let him or his brother see him grieving over dad, Harry had come across him in the library one time, the one place his dad loved to go and spend hours just reading.

The tears in those black eyes had broken Harry's heart and he knew if it hadn't been for him and his brother, his papa would have joined their dad in death, and now seeing tears in Shazza's grey eyes, reminded him too much of that.

He may have only met Shazza and Zeke a few hours ago, but Harry knew she was someone that he could trust to have his back.

(But is it worth going down there to my death? Merlin I don't know what to think anymore.)Harry thought, mind spinning. He knew that there was something down there, something that was deadly and he wouldn't care if Fry got herself killed, but she had a point in being the only one to get the ship they'd found up and running and if something did happen, and he was hoping that is was an if, then they wouldn't be stuck here. Even if his magic was not working as it should he could use his creature sides' powers.

(I don't want to be stuck on this planet, and the others wouldn't fit in that hole unless we make it bigger, Imam and Johns are too big in build and Paris wouldn't go even if he was paid, too cowardly.)

Hearing Johns and Fry still fighting about who was going down behind him, he had had enough. He knew it was a stupid move on his part, but out of all of them he was the one most likely come out of this alive. His speed as a hybrid would come in handy and with both his creature sides, he was stronger and faster than any of them, but there was one tiny, hiccup in his plan. He hadn't feed since Mac and Jaz, it could go either way in making him weaker or more deadly in his lust to feed.

It was something he would have to leave in Fate's hands, not something he wanted to do, (I sound like I have made up my mind in going down there.) Harry thought sarcastically. There were pros and cons in doing this, the biggest con was that whatever was down there scared him, not an easy

thing to do but he was also finding out he wasn't the biggest threat anymore in this time, just look at how strong Riddick was to him.

Another point was deep inside himself, he did want to know what he was facing, that would be his Gryffindor side speaking, he knew that for sure.

(Merlin, I must be mad even thinking of going down there.) Harry rubbed a hand over his forehead, (I have faced Voldemort, I have faced a 60ft snake at 12, I am hundreds of years old and have seen more an anyone in this group.)

"You heard her, she needs to know what happened and so do all of us, what would happen if there is something down there and it comes up here without us knowing and kills us?!" Fry shouted at Johns in anger, snapping Harry out of his thoughts.

Looking over, he saw that both Johns and Fry were raging at each other. He had been so deep in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed the both of them fighting over Fry's plan.

Finally Harry had had enough of this, his mind was made up, he knew it was a stupid idea but he needed to know what he was up against and he hadn't been through everything to back down now. "Goddamn, just shut the fuck up, people! If it's that goddamn important, I'll fucking go, just shut your mouths. You're giving me a headache." Harry shouted putting his hand up to rub his temple at the headache starting there, he didn't need one going into that hole.

Ali ran and hugged Harry's side in worry. Looking a little shocked, Harry gave him a smile and gave him a sideways hug, the kid was cute and for some reason trusted him even after only a few hours.

What he didn't know was Ali felt safe around him, that something inside the child told him, this man would protect him always.

Giving a smug Fry a glare, Harry turned away from her and opened his bag, taking out a blade, he strapped it to his waist and called Jack over to him.

Once the kid was in front of him he handed Jack his bag, there was no way he was taking that down there with him.

"Keep it safe, alright kid?" Harry asked.

"Sure Harry." Jack nodded, he was happy he got to hold the cool looking bag, he had never seen the strange marking on it before. Looking back up at Harry, Jack wanted to give him a hug the same as Ali did but held back, because guys don't hug.

With a small smile to Jack, Harry turned back towards Fry and Johns. "Well, where's the rope?" It didn't take Harry long to get ready, he placed his long hair into a bun so it was out of the way as Imam tied the rope around his waist. Imam gave him a pat on the back as he finished, and a nervous Paris handed him the flashlight.

"Be careful my son." Imam said concern in his voice as he watched the young man get ready to jump down.

"Will do Imam." Harry nodded to the man before he jumped down into the ditch. Walking slowly to the start of the hole he got to his knees and looked into the darkness.

Looking back at Imam, the holy man gave Harry another nod, which the raven returned before looking at the others shooting him worried looks, all but Fry. The bitch still had that fucking smug

look on her face again, like she got her way.

(You're smiling now dear Caption but soon I'll wipe that bloody look off,) Harry thought angrily. (After all it's not a good idea to piss off a hybrid.)

Pushing the anger away, Harry turned and carefully entered the darkness. Moving slowly, Harry felt his heart beating faster as he crawled down the tunnel, flashing the light around, he noticed that tunnel wasn't naturally formed. It was too smooth and went too far down without breaking off.

Taking in a deep breath he scented Zeke but nothing else, the man's scent was covering up whatever took him.

Running the light over the walls and floor he spotted something on the ground. Shining the light on it, Harry saw Zeke's broken and bloody flashlight.

(What the fuck did I agree to this for again?) Harry thought to himself as he passed it and made his way farther inside. It didn't take too long before he reached an opening.

Poking his head through, he looked around in astonishment. There was enough light coming from holes above that he could make out that he was in some kind of cavern. It was like some grand common chamber that had more tunnels branching out in every direction. (Like hell I'm going to see where those lead.)

Walking around, he could hear a faint clicking sound coming from some of those tunnels. It was so faint that if he had been human he wouldn't have heard it, Harry was so thankful to have his heightened hearing.

Without realizing it, his hand had begun to tremble slightly. There was danger around him that made the hair on the back of his neck to stand on end and even with the overwhelming scent of Zeke's blood around him, he could pick up the stench of something else. It was the same thing he had picked up when he was looking over the hole when Riddick was caught. Some kind of animal, wild with the scent of blood clinging to it.

His shoulders tensed even more as clicking got closer and his senses were screaming, 'Danger! Get out, you idiot!', but he couldn't back down now, not when he could smell Zeke in here, though he had a funny feeling that it wasn't going to be all of Zeke.

Harry knew he was in trouble but he didn't let panic cloud his mind, it would sign his death warrant if he panicked now.

He stepped into the light beside a mound of earth and, looking up at the light, he saw that it reached all the way up to the surface,

(Those spires, they're hollow.) Harry thought remembering that the whole area of spires. What concerned him though was how many chambers like this one were there.

The sunlight came through a small hole at the top and he felt somewhat safer in the soft light, but he wouldn't feel totally safe until he was back in the sun and out of this damn hole.

SSSSSHHHHH Spinning sharply towards the sound, Harry flashed his light over the cave wall, starting to tremble even more than before when he didn't see anything but knew something was in the room with him.

(If I make it out alive, I'm killing that bitch.) He thought, as panic and fear started eating away at him. His mind was screaming for him to get back outside into the sunlight and away from

whatever was inside with him.

He could no longer control his creature sides and his ears and eyes changed. With his now red eyes, he looked around for what had made the sound while his clawed hands clutched the torch tight. He fear rose further as the sound echoed once again. SSSSSHHHHH Harry stumbled back at the sound, it was closer than before, but as he did though the scent of Zeke and blood of got stronger. Spinning, he shined the torch over one of the tunnels and saw a small shape. Moving closer, he found that the shape was Zeke's bloody boot.

With his foot still inside it. Harry stared at it in shock for a second before something swiped at him. Crying out in surprise and pain as something from the darkness smacked into his wrist, knocking the flashlight from his hand.

It was so fast he couldn't get a look at what it was before it happened again. He stumbled backwards as the same something, or maybe a different one, shot out of the darkness and smacked into his chest, moving him further away from the light from the spires. Harry stepped backwards, fear settling inside him as the sounds and clicking grew louder and louder until it was all he could hear. "Lumos," he whispered shakily, holding his hands in front of him. The sounds and fear was making it hard for him to concentrate on his magic, and he panicked when nothing happened.

"NO! Not now, work damn it, WORK!" Harry yelled in anger, this was the one time he didn't want his magic to fail him. Moving quickly he pulled out his wand and held it out in front of him.

"Lumos. Lumos!" He yelled again, finally his magic flared inside him, coming to the call of its master.

Light sparked out of his wand and flared brightly to life, the area around him became brightly lit and something in front of him let out a screeched of pain, and Harry looked up. All thought left him at the sight of the monstrous, grey beast in front of him, with an eyeless triangle-shaped head and rows of monstrous, sharp teeth. The beast reared back against the light that only lasted a moment as the small yellow ball died once more. The beast lunged, knocking him to the ground. Harry screamed as he let go of his wand and grabbed hold of the evil creature as it tore at the flesh of his shoulder, teeth sharp as needles clamping down hard enough to reach the bone.

Pain flashed through his mind as the beast tore into his shoulder and another scream was ripped from his throat as claws slashed his stomach.

His eyes flashed pure red as he used his claws to slash at the beast's side, tearing into its flesh and pulling a hand full of it away. It let go with screech of pain as he brought his claws back down, letting go of the he held flesh and letting it splatter onto the ground, he dug into its body once again. As he did so he got his foot under the creatures stomach and, once in position, he used his vampire strength he kicked the beast off him.

He heard it thump into a wall at the other end of the chamber and screech again but he paid it no mind as he rose sharply from the ground, grabbed his wand and stuffed it into his pocket as fast as he could. He stumbled into the light of the spire and, hearing more cries around him as more beasts made their way into the room, wasted no time and started to climb upwards, away from the monsters.

He ignored the pain in his shoulder and stomach, fear and panic driving him to climb faster.

The higher he got the smaller the space became until he reached a point where he could no longer go any farther. He started banging on the rocky wall, his hits weak and he could felt the change in his from making him look human again, he had lost to much blood. "I'm in here!" Harry shouted,

banging on the earthen walls of the spire again. "I'M IN HERE, DAMNIT! LET ME THE FUCK OUT!" Harry screamed as one of other beasts grabbed his safety rope, trying to pull him back into the darkness.

Just as he thought he was going to fall back into the pit and meet his end, the earth above him suddenly started to crumble away as hands dug into it. Those hands reached in and grabbed at him, Harry nearly screamed again as his wounds were pulled as the Imam and Johns pulled him into the sunlight.

Harry's body was in great pain, he could feel himself weakening by the second as more of his blood left his body. "I heard you, Harry. I heard you first," Jack said happily as they pulled him away from the spire. "Come on." Johns said helping Harry stand.

"Harry, are you alright?" Imam asked, as he too helped Johns. He was worried as Harry hadn't said anything since they pulled him from the hole.

"Oh my god, is that blood?!" Shazza shouted going pale. She had been about to ask about Zeke when she saw all the blood coming from Harry's shoulder and stomach.

They all looked at what she was talking about and noticed Harry's white shirt was torn and bloody.

"What the fuck happened?" Johns yelled as he held Harry up, both him and Imam moving to place Harry on the ground to see his wounds.

Harry let out a hiss of pain as his shoulder was jarred as they moved him and groaned as his head swam with dizziness of blood lose. If there was ever a time he desperately needed to feed, it was now.

Just as Johns and Imam were about to set him on the ground, the rope around his waist suddenly jerked back, pulling him from their arms and back towards the spire.

"Fuck!" Harry swore loudly as he clung to the rocks to stop himself. The others rushed to grab hold of him, to stop him from being pulled in the spire any farther.

"Get it off me! Get it the FUCK OFF ME!" he shouted as Johns and Imam tried to pull him back, but whatever had a hold of the rope wasn't letting go and was pulling even more.

Johns pulled him out enough that Imam pulled out his dagger and could cut the rope, freeing Harry. Imam watched it disappear down into the hole before turning to see Johns pick up the wounded man and run towards the crash site.

He and the others followed quickly behind them.

(Merlin, this is just not my day.) Harry thought painful as he was carried to the ship.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 8

Harry fell in and out of consciousness as Johns rushed into the ship, the others close behind, and into the room that held the silent Riddick. It was the biggest space in the ship that all of them could get into without falling over debris.

Imam had grabbed some blankets and laid them on the ground so Johns could lay Harry down. The raven let out a whimper as Imam started taking his bloody and torn shirt, alongside his vest, off. He would hear Johns yelling, but couldn't make out what he was saying, the pain was just too much.

"Get something to put pressure on the wounds!" Johns yelled at the others. It pissed him off that so many adults were standing around uselessly; they needed to get something to stop the bleeding, and fast.

"M… my… b… bag," Harry whispered in pain as he tried to reach for Jack, who was still holding onto it.

"Shh, my son, you must rest," Imam said to him in worry, his hand over the shoulder wound to help stop the bleeding.

"In…in m…my bag, bl… black case, vials inside it…. Need it… please." Harry begged. If he didn't get that vial soon he was going to go into a blood rage, he could feel it rising under the pain and it was beginning to cloud his mind, getting the better of him. He could feel Riddick's eyes on him as he whimpered in pain as they cleaned his shoulder and stomach with the only thing they had available – Paris's alcohol, which would help to cleanse the wounds.

"Jack, give me the bag," Imam ordered softly, holding his clean hand out to the bag in the child's hands. Shakily, Jack gave it to Imam, still looking on in shock at all the blood coming from Harry.

Imam riffled through it. Due to the magic inside it, it appeared to have clothes and small items inside to him and the others in the group, if Harry wasn't in so much pain at that moment in time he would thank his papa for putting that feature into the bag. Imam moved the clothes aside and heard a clink of glass, grabbing a hold of it he pulled out a black leather case. Hoping that was what the young boy wanted, he took it out and looked at Harry. He asked. "In here?"

Harry nodded his head as he was into much pain to speak, he knew if he opened his mouth there was a chance they would see his fangs. He could feel them growing already and he hoped as soon as he took the bloodlust potion they would go back in again.

Opening the case, Imam looked inside and saw a few vials that were red in colour. Taking one of the vials out, Imam opened it and moved over to Harry's side and placed it over young boy's mouth. As Harry let the blood mixed potion run down his throat, he felt some strength come back to him. But he was hungry for more. It looked like he had lost more blood than he thought and it was going to take time for the potion to work. The bloodlust that the vial was meant to quench pulled at him, telling him that a veritable buffet sat right in front of him.

He ignored it; he couldn't afford to show the others what he was, though after that attack he knew that he would have to tell them at some point, just not yet.

With some of his strength recovered from the small amount of condensed blood, he reached for the black case and took it from Imam, going through it he took out a navy blue potion.

He opened it and knocked it back, swallowing all of it before dropping the empty vial and reaching into the case again. This time he took out a second vial that had a murky green liquid inside it. Taking a quick look at the label, he read the black, block letters that told him it was a healing potion for his cuts. With a grimace, he swallowed it as well but not without a shudder. Even after a thousand years, potions still tasted as horrible as ever.

Pain left him as the potions worked to heal his body and take the pain away. As Imam and Johns bandaged his shoulder and stomach, he let his eyes close and fell into a healing sleep. Before the realm of dreams could take him though, he heard a growl not far from him.

Time change…with Riddick

Riddick sat stone still as he heard them make their way to the hole. He didn't like the look Fry had as she'd left.

~That bitch better not get my vixen to go down that hole. Or there be hell to pay.~ Riddick thought as he sat in the dark. He ran his tongue over his lips as he tried to catch the last traces of Harry still there, it was his second taste of his raven haired beauty and even now he wanted more.

He had never been like this with others, having fucked them and moved on, never getting close

enough to feel anything other than lust.

With Harry though, he wanted more. He didn't just lust for him, he wanted to protect him from harm, and that was a feeling entirely new to Riddick.

After being alone for so long in his life, and getting fucked over by everyone and now here he was letting someone he had met only hours ago into his heart. It was strange that was for sure, but he knew he wasn't being controlled by another to make he feel this way though. He'd come across those that had power to make you follow their every word and every time they had tried that with him, they'd ended up with a shiv in the back.

So with that ruled out and his animal side wanting to claim Harry as theirs, it had raged inside him when Johns had called for Harry like the other belonged to him, he knew there was something strong connecting him to the raven. Just not what.

Shaking his head, he decided to think on it later. He knew Harry had a clue as to why they were acting like this towards each other, so all he had to do was wait and that was something he was very good at.

Turning his head, he concentrated on the others; even though they were far away he could still hear them as well as pick up their scents.

He could smell his vixen's anger and fear, something was going on and he didn't like it. Growling, he listened in to the fighting that was going on between Harry and Fry, the bitch wanted his Vixen to go down that fucking hole and she was using everything she could to make sure it was him.

~Looks like the bitch wants some pay back.~ Riddick thought. He knew she had been terrified of Harry, along with him knowing about her attempted murder of the passengers and she wanted him gone.

But she picked the wrong one to go for, Riddick wasn't going to let anyone hurt his Vixen, not when he still had questions to ask the beauty.

He heard his Harry agree to go down, if only to shut them up. ~I'll shut them up alright.~ he thought darkly, already imagining their gruesome deaths.

Riddick could hear Harry's heart speed up the further he went down. He could feel his vixen's fear spike suddenly, and he began to pull at his restraints, testing them, hoping to break the chains. All he accomplished was a cacophony of clanging metal, even as he began to pull at them harder when he heard his vixen scream in pain. He could hear him call for help to be let out, but the restraints stayed as strong as ever. A strange sense of helplessness filled his chest, something he had never felt before. The smell of blood reached him, and a roar was building inside his chest at the scent of his vixen's blood and his animal side cried out for him.

"Get it off me! Get it the fuck off me!" Riddick's head turned as he heard Harry's yell, the fear in his voice made his blood boil. Riddick growled, pissed when the restraints refused to give even an inch.

The sound of feet pounding towards him, and the smell of his Vixen's blood grew stronger as they came closer to him. Riddick watched Johns carry Harry into the room with a panicked look on his face as Imam pulled blankets onto the ground for Harry to lie upon. His eyes darkened at the amount of blood revealed when Imam cut the shirt off of him.

"M… my… b… bag," Riddick heard the pained whimper from Harry as he watched him reach for

the kid, Jack. His heart filled with pain as he was forced to watch from afar. Riddick looked on as the others stood around, useless, as Imam and Johns tried to stop the bleeding.

"Shh, my son, you must rest," Imam said to his vixen in worry, he was trying to stop the bleeding from the shoulder wound but Riddick could see it seeping through his fingers.

"In…in m…my bag, bl… black case, vials inside it …. Need it… please," Riddick's eyes didn't leave Harry as he could barely speak. Another whimper came as the others cleaned the wounds on Harry's shoulder and stomach with Paris' alcohol and Riddick sat, tensed and motionless. All he could do was watch on as his mate squirmed in pain.

"Jack, give me the bag," the holy man ordered softly. ~I'll spare him and his sons if he helps my mate…. Mate. Is…is he my mate?~ Riddick thought as he watched Imam rifle through the bag until Riddick heard a clink of glass and saw Imam take out a smaller black leather case. "In here?" asked the holy man. Harry nodded his head. Riddick could tell he was in too much pain to speak anymore.

The holy man pulled a blood red vial out of the case before opening it, and when he did Riddick could smell new blood from inside of it. Imam placed it over his vixen's mouth and heat rushed through Riddick's veins as he watched Harry drink the blood.

He could smell the hunger from him, even as he pulled out a navy blue vial and then another murky green vial. Watching Harry drink that those as well, he could tell the pain was finally leaving him and with it, Riddick's pain left as well. He watched Harry slowly close his eyes in peace as his vixen fell into sleep.

~There's going to be hell to pay for this.~ Riddick growled as he thought of the things he would do to them for hurting his Vixen. At the growl everyone jumped, forgetting Riddick was even in the room. They turned to him as he leaned into the light "What the fuck happened?" Riddick rumbled.

"Fry wouldn't go down the hole," Jack said, giving the woman a dark look. "So Harry went down instead. Whatever's down there got him, and got him good." Fry swallowed, eyes flitting around as the others gave her accusing looks.

"What? Too scared Carolyn?" Riddick said, his silver eyes staring hard into hers. "Can't face your fears?"

Fry didn't respond. Seeing that she wouldn't receive help from any of the others, she clenched her jaw, held her head up, and stormed out of the hold. After a long moment, the others followed her into the sun to give Harry some peace to rest; all but Johns. Johns sat down leaning against a bulkhead, his big gage slung over his knees, and stared at Harry.

He looked up and met Riddick's gaze. They sat, staring at each other, in silence.

But Riddick knew that wouldn't last long, he could smell the fear coming for Johns, he was spooked by what had attacked Harry, and Riddick knew Johns too well in that the blue eyed devil was trying to coming up with a plan.

A plan involving him.

Sometime later…

Harry groaned silently before turning onto his side. Pain was running through his body, but not as

intense as before, though he knew he'd need more time and blood for his shoulder and stomach to fully heal.

Blinking his eyes open, he saw Johns and Riddick across from him, they were talking about something. Trying to focus on them, Harry head cleared enough for him to catch what they were saying.

"So here's the deal. You work without chains, without bit and without shivs. You do what I say when I say it," Johns ordered, he knew this wasn't his smartest move but whatever was down that hole worried him more than a free Riddick.

"For what? The honor of going back to some asshole of a cell? Fuck you," Riddick answered, he wasn't falling for Johns' plans that easy, plus he wanted to see how far the blue eyed devil would take this.

"The truth is… I'm tired of chasing you." Johns said, looking at Riddick.

~Like I believe that for a moment.~ Riddick thought, but his mind started to go over some plans of his own.

"Are you saying you'd cut me loose?" Riddick said, disbelief in his voice. ~Let's see what you come up with.~

"I'm thinking you could have died in the crash," Johns replied, like it was that simple to make someone disappear.

"My recommendation: Do me. Don't take the chance that I'll get shiv-happy on your wannabe ass," Riddick rumbled, wanting to push the man. He could see and smell the fear in Johns, the sweat dripping from the man's forehead was a clear sign that the blond was falling for the mind fuck.

"No." Harry whispered, having heard everything. He couldn't believe Riddick was messing with Johns about his freedom, there was some plan Riddick had in mind, but that didn't stop Harry for worrying about his mate.

"Ghost me, motherfucker. That is what I would do to you," Riddick said with a smirk on his face.

Suddenly, Johns pulled out his gun and fired. Riddick turned his head away, the sound making him deaf in one ear, he had thought he had pushed Johns too far, but it seemed the mans greed over powered his common sense. Instead of a bullet in the brain, the chains holding him in places fell to the ground, freeing him.

"I want you to remember this moment. The way it could have gone, and didn't," John said, staring at Riddick as he sat there. He wanted Riddick to know who had the power here.

"Here." Johns said stepping forward to hand Riddick his goggles. Suddenly, instead of going for the goggles Riddick went for the gun, with a twist the gun was now pointing at Johns.

"Take it easy," Johns said, raising his hands up in surrender, he can tell he pissed the big guy off, not a smart thing to do.

"Fuck you!" Riddick growled out, the temptation to pull the trigger was overwhelming and it was taking everything he had to not end this fucker.

"Do we have a deal?" Johns asked nervously, staring down at his gun and back up at Riddick's

sliver eyes.

They stared at each other for a moment, Harry watching them wide eyed at what was going on in front of him, heart pounding as the tension mounted. It was only a moment before Riddick answered, "I want you to remember this moment."

With that he dropped the gun on the floor and snatched his goggles from Johns hand and stormed off, but he didn't get far before hearing something behind him.

Harry, who had finally got his heart under control after seeing Johns shoot at his mate, tried to sit up, but the pain in using his injured arm stopped him cold. It hurt worse than his stomach, though that could be because that creature had bitten into it, and forced him to lie back down on the ground.

He closed his eyes as he tried to get a handle on the pain, though a small whimper did escape and both men in the room heard it, the sound making Riddick stop in his tracks. The next thing he knew someone, was kneeling by him and opening his eyes slowly, Harry looked into blue eyes of Johns.

"What happened?" Harry choked out, his mind blank for a moment at the pain of trying to get up.

"Don't you remember?" Johns asked, checking the bindings around his shoulder.

Harry hissed as Johns pulled at the wound and blinked as the memory came rushing back to him.

"That bitch!" Harry snarled, sitting up abruptly, causing him to wince in pain. "I'm going to rip her throat out!"

Trying to stand with some trouble, Harry accepted the hand Johns held out as he stood, one hand pressed against the wrappings across his abdomen. "I should throw her down one of those bloody spires and let her face those fucking overgrown lizards herself."

"Did you see Zeke down there?" Johns asked, wondering what Harry saw down there, though nothing good by the sounds of it.

"Oh, yeah, I saw Zeke alright. If you still want his right foot, you better send Fry to get it, because there's no way in hell I'm going back down there," Harry said sarcastically.

Harry looked around him to see Riddick standing there.

"How long was I out?" Harry asked. Seeing his bag, he reached for it and opened it, he was happy the magic weaved into the bag made others see that it looked full or he would have had to explain why there looked like a bottomless black pit inside.

Reaching inside it, he took out the black case that held all his potions, opening it up, he started looking for something to help him heal faster and to see if he had any more blood vials.

(Merlin, I'm so hungry. Hm… wonder if Riddick will feed me.) Harry parried in his mind, looking up at said man and running his eyes over Riddick's hot form.

Johns, not liking the look Harry was giving Riddick, blocked his view before he answered him.

"About half an hour or so." Johns answered. Riddick let out a growl but before Riddick could rip Johns' head off for touching or being near Harry, they heard Fry call from outside.

"JOHNS! WE NEED YOUR HELP OUT HERE!" Fry's whiny voice shouted.

They turned towards the screeching, for that is what it was. (God, with a voice like that I'm so happy to love men.) Harry thought as he sat down on a metal box, feeling too weak to stand any longer.

"You going to be alright Harry?" Johns asked, seeing him sit down and wince in pain.

"I'll be fine, Johns. You better go see what the bitch wants before someone slits her throat just to shut her up," Harry said cheekily. Reluctantly, Johns moved out of the room as she called again.

As soon as he was out of earshot, Harry and Riddick started to laugh, even when it hurt Harry to do so. Harry fell in love with Riddick's laugh. It was more a rumble deep inside his chest, that dark voice sending shivers down Harry's back.

After the laughter faded, both of them looked at each other. Glowing green eyes clashed with glowing sliver as Riddick walked over to Harry.

"You lied to Johns. What's wrong?" Riddick knelt down in front of him. Harry stared at the bulkhead for a moment, before turning his gaze on him.

"You can't say you haven't noticed I'm not all that human. You even said so back in that boneyard." Harry said, trying to not blush as he thought about what happened in said boneyard.

"Not that hard to figure out." Riddick chuckled. "Your scent alone gives it away."

"Guess not. I'm half-blooded, two different species. Both... live for a very long time," he murmured wryly. Understatement of the millennium.

"I lost too much blood in that cavern," he continued. "If I were just one of those two species, I'd be fine. I'd be outside right now, glaring daggers into that insane psycho bitch for pushing me to go down there. The other part of me, though… it's hungering for the blood I lost. Because of that half of me, I can't create new blood. In order to survive, I need to take it from others."

"Half vampire." Harry looked at him in surprise. Riddick shrugged. "Vampires may have died out about eight hundred years ago, but their legends still exist." Harry looked past him, eyes unfocused in memory.

"I must have slept longer than I thought," he said softly. He remembered doing a Tempus but he had forgot what it had said, though he had been panicking at the time.

"When were you born?" Harry blinked and turned his gaze back onto Riddick.

"I was born circa A.D. 1980. Reborn circa A.D. 2001. Went to into hibernation circa A.D. 2184. Woke up a few months ago." Riddick whistled lowly through his teeth.

"Yeah, I'd say you slept for a long time." Harry looked curious.

"What year is it? I checked when I woke up, but I fell into a panic." Riddick thought for a moment.

"The calendars changed around A.D. 2350. It's A.T. 707, now. After Terraforming," he explained at Harry's confused look.

"Eight hundred and thirty seven years," Harry said in shock. "I slept for more than eight centuries." He laughed, almost bitterly. "If I'm right about the months, I'll be one thousand and seventy seven

years old soon."

"Then let me be the first to wish you happy birthday." Harry gave him a smile that made Riddick want to take him right there, nosy crash survivors or not. But then it was gone as the smaller man brought a hand to his face, grimacing.

"It wasn't enough," Harry whispered. He leaned over to grab at his black bag, and nearly fell over as his head swam and vision blurred. Strong hands pulled him against an equally strong chest, and Harry sighed, leaning into the backwards embrace. He blinked at the wrist that suddenly appeared in front of his face.

"Here. You need blood, right? Take some of mine." Harry looked over his shoulder in molten silver eyes.

"No. I'm hungry enough right now that… if I drink from you, and you aren't… aren't my…. Well, you'd die." Harry said, he knew that Riddick was his mate but there was still a part of him that that didn't believe it.

"If I'm not your what?" Riddick rumbled into his neck, his nose running along the soft skin behind his ear. Harry shivered.

"If you aren't my mate," he whispered.

"And if I'm your mate?" Riddick whispered back, taking in more of Harry's scent.

"Then I will be with you for eternity; you will live as long as I do. I will only ever feel full with your blood and… and mate with only you…" Harry panted the last bit; he started to purr as Riddick sucked on his neck, his arms wrapping around his waist and gently over his chest, holding him against Riddick's chest.

"I'm not planning on giving you up to anyone. Mate or not, you're mine. Now drink." Riddick ordered with a growl, pushing his wrist in front of Harry's mouth.

Harry couldn't take it anymore, the blood called to him. His fangs grew and his lips turned a dark shade of blood red as his Vampire side came out more.

Suddenly, he grabbed Riddick's arm and pulled his wrist towards his mouth holding on tightly, slowly he ran his lips and tongue over Riddick's pulse point. He couldn't take it anymore and bit down deep into the skin, swallowing as rich blood filled his mouth.

He went boneless with pleasure as he drunk the dark liquid, it was better than Firewhisky. It sent hot fire into his veins and to his cock and it seemed to do the same for Riddick if what he was feeling behind him and the deep growling coming from his chest was any indication.

Harry gently eased his buttocks to nestle into the curve of Riddick's groin. Harry still couldn't believe how delectable Riddick tasted. He found the taste better than even the finest of wines in the world, or now universe. A taste he could easily become addicted to.

Harry noticed how warmth filled his form and shock filled him as he could feel the bond between him and Riddick fall into place, the disbelief he felt before vanished in that instant.

(Riddick is my mate, I… I found my true mate.) Happiness and pleasure filled Harry so much, he started to purr around Riddick's wrist, heat rushed over his body and his magic hummed inside him. He rubbed his buttocks harder into Riddick's cock, wanting to be claimed by his mate, something that he had waited for, for such a long time.

Feeling it harden even more under him, Harry couldn't help but moan out loud.

Riddick gritted his teeth at the heat he was feeling. He felt like he was going to burst into flame and started rocking with Harry's movements, wanting to rip off his Vixen's clothes and take him right there.

He savoured the flavour of the blood, before reluctantly removing his fangs, feeling fuller than he had in ages. He started licking the bite on Riddick's wrist to make sure it was healed.

Riddick was panting and growling at the rush of Harry feeding off of him, it was unlike anything he had ever felt before, and in that instant he knew that he would kill anyone that thought of taking this beauty away from him.

"Riddick, oh Riddick you're my Mate, my Dom, my Hunter." Harry said, breathless. Harry turned his head, nuzzling Riddick's shoulder, purring, this was one of the happiest moments of his life.

"Good," Riddick growled in Harry's ear. "To you, and you only my Vixen, I'm your Hunter."

Love and peace filled Harry; he couldn't believe he, Harry Potter, had found his mate after waiting so long. After his papa had died, he'd thought he would be alone, even his friends hadn't been able to fill the hole he had after that.

But now with Riddick, his other half by his side, Harry wasn't alone anymore, he was complete.

Harry slowly turned in Riddick's arms to face him. Staring into those silver eyes, Harry was captured; he felt like he was drowning in Riddick's gaze.

(How can a man have such a passionate eyes?) Riddick had the same thoughts as he stared into the most stunning emerald jewels he had ever seen.

"Take me, Riddick. Claim what is now yours to claim," Harry whispered huskily.

With a groan mixed with a growl, Riddick quickly moved Harry back onto the blankets he rested on before and laid his body over Harry's settling in-between his thighs, mindful of the wounds on Harry's stomach and shoulder that were still healing.

While doing so, Riddick gently pushed Harry's hair from his eyes, he loved the silkiness of the strands, and they ran over his fingers and fell down onto the makeshift bed.

Feeling the warm, hard body above his, heat rushed to Harry's cock, making it tightened uncomfortably against his trousers.

Riddick gently placed his hand on either side of Harry's face, just like he had done when he had first laid eyes on the raven beauty, looking into those passion and love filled eyes of his Vixen, Riddick couldn't stop the possessive feeling that rushed over him.

~MINE! MY MATE!~ Riddick's animal side roared in agreement at his thoughts as he gently caressed his Vixen's soft face.

Turning his head into the rough palm, Harry nuzzled it before planting hot open-mouthed kisses as well as sliding his wet tongue over it, tracing his life and love line.

Riddick groaned and pressed his lower half against Harry's, making the smaller male moan as there clothed members rubbed together.

Harry couldn't take it anymore, he felt like it was going to burst with all the emotions that he was feeling at once, never had he felt like this before, it was as if Riddick was trying to set him on fire.

"Please Riddick, please," Harry pleaded him, he needed to be taken by his mate, he need to be claimed by his Hunter so that the bond that was trying to snap together could be complete and he could feel whole once more. He didn't even care that they didn't really have the time with all the others just outside.

(Fuck them!) Harry growled inside his mind as Riddick ran a hand over Harry's bare chest. He fingered the edges of the bandages that wrapped around his stomach, the touch sent flames over Harry's body and he arched up into it. The raven's head thrashed side to side before Riddick once more ran his hand down Harry's face, turning it so their eyes met.

He looked up dazed at his Hunter, the man looked like he wanted to consume him and Harry had no protest to that.

"Mine, my Vixen, all mine," Riddick growled before crushing Harry's mouth with his own. It was filled with passion, lust and surprisingly love, an emotion that Riddick thought he had forgotten and lost a long time ago.

Harry felt a silky warm tongue running across his bottom lip asking for entrance into his hot mouth, into his very soul. Opening his mouth, Harry gave that lusty tongue the entrance it wanted, both exploring the other's mouth. Too involved in the kiss Harry didn't notice Riddick's right hand on the move again down his chest, until it reached his nipple and pinched it, hard.

Harry arched his body in shock, moaning deeply at the feeling of fire burning through him.

Riddick broke the kiss, leaving Harry dazed and breathless.

"Wow," Harry whispered breathlessly, panting for air.

He heard Riddick's sexy dark chuckle and Harry couldn't believe it as he felt his cheeks warm. He hadn't blushed since he caught Severus in the shower that one time and he hadn't been able to look at Severus without blushing for a week. Riddick pulled down Harry's trousers and let his cock spring free, making Harry gasp.

Taking it into his hand Riddick slowly ran his thumb over the now purple head, lubricating his hand with pre-cum, Harry gave a silent cry as he arch his body to the feel of Riddick's rough hand pumping him.

Harry was so close he could come any minute.

Sadly though, fate wasn't on Harry side this day as Riddick heard the pitter-patter of children's feet heading their way. He groaned out as he knew it was Jack and Ali, they must of have noticed when Johns came out of the cargo ship that Harry was now alone and wished to see him.

For the first time, ever, Riddick was going to get blue balls. He felt like roaring out his frustration, he was just about to take his Vixen, and he was stop by kids of all things.

Groaning when Riddick's hand stopped , Harry was about to complain when he heard the same as Riddick, small steps coming their way. Coming back to his senses fast, Harry couldn't stop the cursing in his mind at their misfortune.

Panting, he pulled his magic into his hands and quickly cast a cleaning spell on both himself and Riddick.

(Fate hates me. Really couldn't she wait ten more minutes? Ten fucking MINUTES!?) Harry thought angrily as he moved to pull his trousers back up over his still ragging cock, before lying back onto the makeshift bed.

He saw Riddick shiver as his magic ran over him and then give him a pointed look when he noticed himself feeling like he had just showered.

"I will tell you later." Harry whispered, getting his breath under control, as well as the rest of his body.

Riddick wanted to stay and find out what his Vixen had done to make him feel so clean but instead he nodded and moved off Harry.

Just in time to as both children came into sight, Riddick moved into the shadows before they could see him and watched as they ran up to Harry.

~Just you wait my vixen, I'm not done with you yet.~ Riddick thought as Harry talked to the kids about going to the settlement.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 9

As Jack and Ali made their way out of the room, Harry sighed and leaned back on his makeshift bed. From speaking to them, he had found out that the group was planning on going to the settlement and using that as a home base instead of the crashed ship.

He could understand that it was the best option open to them what with the ship wreck having nothing to help them stay alive or protect them if those creatures come out of their hidey hole. It was best to move to the settlement. ~Also I could have more time getting to know Riddick.~ Harry thought with a smirk.

Taking his mind off that subject before he got real problems, Harry turned his thoughts to what Jack had told him. He had said that Imam had found some kind of machine that could give them water and Fry was going on about taking a cell from the crashed ship with them to see if the skiff was flyable.

He had to hold in his rage when Jack mentioned her name. He didn't want to scare the kids, but that Bitch would get want was coming to her sooner or later. He knew she wanted him gone, that was clear to see when she sent him down the hole, but the bitch didn't want to get her hands dirty with the deed. It reminded Harry of someone from his past, a certain Headmaster, Harry would make sure she ended up the same way he did, 6 feet under.

His creature sides seemed to purr at that thought and they got even louder when the images of her dead body ran through his mind. Normally, Harry wouldn't hate someone so much, but the bitch rubbed him the wrong way and had done nothing in trying to make up for what she tried to do during the crash.

So deep in thought, Harry didn't hear the footsteps heading his way nor did he notice someone calling his name until they were right beside him.

"Harry?" Turning he saw Shazza standing across from him, watching him in concern.

"Sorry?" Harry said, clearing his mind of Fry's bloody form.

"Are you ok? I have been calling you name for a few minutes now." Shazza said, kneeling beside him.

"Yeah, sorry about that, deep in thought." Harry explained, before asking her. "So what was it you needed?"

Shazza looked down at the ground at first, Harry could see she was upset and from her scent he could pick up the deep guilt she was feeling, why she felt guilt, Harry didn't know but he was about to find out.

"I am sorry Harry, it is my fault you have ended up so hurt." She whispered, her hands clenched together as she thought of him nearly losing his life.

"Why are you sorry, Shazza, it wasn't you that wanted me to go down there in the first place." Harry said placing a hand over hers.

"I just wanted to know what happened to my Zeke so much that I didn't think there was something down there that took him." Shazza said, it was clear to hear how upset the woman was.

"Shazza," Harry said calmly. "It's not your fault. Me getting hurt was a shock yeah, but I am alive and now we know that there is danger under us."

She nodded her head, before looking up at him, his deep green eyes seem to calm something inside her, and slowly the guilt left, but there was still something she had to say.

"Thank you Harry, for finding out what happened to Zeke and making me stop blaming someone that had nothing to do with his death." She got out. The shock from earlier had faded and now she was scared and uncertain on what she is going to do but she had to thank Harry for finding out the fate of her Zeke.

She would deal with the pain later, when they were off this planet and safe.

Harry looked at her curiously, he hadn't told her what had happened to Zeke yet, so how did she know.

Seeing the look Shazza said, "Johns told us what you said about Zeke."

Harry cursed in his head, he knew Johns wouldn't have broken the news to her and the others gently. If only he had been awake, he would have told her alone and given her the support she need.

It was too late to cry over spilt milk though, but he can give her that support she needed now to let go of some of the pain she was holding in.

"I know this is hard for you Shazza and it will take time for the wounds to heal, but understand you are not alone here." Harry said to her gently, squeezing her hand.

Shazza looked at him curiously now, but nodded her head at him.

"I lost my dad when I was young, he was taken from me when he saved my life." Harry explained, it still hurt to think about that day but he wanted her to know she wasn't alone in her pain.

They sat in silence for a while after that. Harry didn't say a word as tears fell from her eyes, he knew no words would give her comfort in her grief, but by letting it out now, with someone that understood, was the safest time she could do so. She couldn't afford to let it cloud her mind, not when they didn't know if the creatures that took Zeke could attack at any time.

Slowly her tears dried and she took a deep shuddering breath before squeezing his hands in thanks and leaving the room.

Harry took a deep breath himself after she'd left. It had been hard seeing someone cry over a lost loved one, it brought the pain of his own loss to the forefront of his mind.

(Stop Harry. That pain will always be with me, but dad wouldn't want me to be thinking about this now, I just found my mate for Merlin's sake.) Harry told himself. Clearing his mind of all the painful memoires, he thought on the new ones he had now.

The kiss he had shared with Riddick and the fire that it sent through him, he had kissed other men before, but Riddick's kiss was nothing like theirs. It was all consuming, and lit something inside him that he had never felt before.

It was going to take some time to get used to having a mate, and not only that, but a mate that was wanted. That was going to take some doing in making sure his mate was never sent back to the slam.

If his magic worked as it should, he wouldn't have any problem keeping him out, but he still didn't have a clue what was going on with it. When they were safe and he could get some time alone, he was going to look into his library, he was lucky that his Goblin friends had placed all his and the few books he didn't have into a truck that had a library inside it.

There had to be some answers to what was happing to him in one of those books somewhere. It had been months since he had woken, his magic shouldn't still be unstable like it was, he couldn't have what happened in the hole happen again.

Not when it was life or death situation.

Sighing, Harry got up slowly, and looking down at his body, he saw that his stomach and shoulder

were still wrapped in torn cloth. He could feel the wounds healing under the coverings and knew it wouldn't be long before they were gone.

Riddick's blood had given him all the energy he had lost, going so long without feeding, no other blood had ever made him feel some strong before, and he knew he would be hard pressed to feed from someone else now. Only in fighting would he want the blood of his enemies on his lips.

(And I have the feeling that's going to happen a lot with a mate like Riddick.) Harry thought, though he chuckled when another thought entered his mind, (And they used to say trouble always found me.)

"Harry." Imam's said as he came into the ship, "We are leaving now my son."

"Ok Imam." Harry said, as he moved towards the exit, grabbing his bag as he passed.

"How are you feeling?" Imam asked falling into step beside him, just in case Harry needs any assistance as they made their way out.

"Better that I was, Imam. Thanks for the help, before." Harry said to him.

"No thanks needed, my son, I am just thankful that you are feeling well." Imam said, "Once we are back at the settlement you will be able to rest more and recover you're strength."

"I am sure I will Imam." Harry said, "Though how much rest I am going to get is up in the air, with everything going on."

"We will make sure you don't have to overdo it Harry." Imam said placing a hand on his uninjured shoulder.

As they made their way into the light of the sun, one last thought entered Harry's mind, that made him smile, (With a mate like Riddick, life wouldn't be boring that for sure.)

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

"I CAN WALK YOU KNOW!!" Harry shouted for what felt like the hundredth time as he was dragged in the makeshift sled by Riddick.

But again he was ignored, they weren't going to let him walk with his wounds and that pissed him off, he felt like a burden lying here. When he had exited the ship he had been pointed to the sled that was attached to his mate. They had told him that he had to save his strength, and concentrate on healing.

Which they thought he couldn't do if he walked. Bastards.

The thing was, he was healing faster already thanks to his mate's blood that now ran through his veins, though he couldn't tell them he drank Riddick's blood. He knew it was going to be hard later when he forgot that he was meant to be hurt and started moving around as if he wasn't.

He didn't like feeling like he was a burden. He may not remember his childhood as much after all these years but that still affected him today.

Letting out another sigh, he knew for now he had to put up with it. Resting back against the makeshift bedding, he thought about what their situation.

As Jack had said they were making their way to the mining settlement the others had found during

the Zeke debacle and would hopefully find a way to get off this damned rock. Also to make things better, Imam had found water and the settlement had private areas. Perfect for getting to know his mate better.

Pleasure ran through him down to his now hard cock thinking of that warm, hard body. And by the smug grin on Riddick's face when he turned to look at Harry, told him that his mate could smell it.

(Just you wait, Riddick. As soon as we are alone you'll be mine,) Harry thought as he licked his lips seductively back at Riddick.

Riddick turned back at the sound of something dropping on the ground in front of them. Turns out it was Paris's Scotch whisky; the idiot had dropped it. Riddick picked it up as Paris fell onto his knees to get it. (Good place for him .) Harry gave a small chuckle at that thought. "Paris P. Ogilve. Antiquities dealer, entrepreneur," Paris said nervously with a small twitch, trying to act like he wasn't shitting himself as he faced the "Big Bad". "Richard B. Riddick. Escaped convict. Murderer," Riddick said with a smirk on his face as he opened the bottle. Harry stopped listening to Paris's muttering as he watched Riddick down the alcohol. Harry couldn't tear his eyes from that lovely throat.

(Oh god… he's torturing me. And he knows that he's doing it, too, the bastard. A hot bastard but a bastard nonetheless,) Harry thought as he ran his tongue over his deep red lips, wishing to lick and suck that gorgeous skin.

(I'm turning in to a cat in heat. All I can think about is getting that hot body into bed,) Harry thought, as he was lied back down on the sled.

"Doing alright back there Vixen?" Riddick asked suddenly, hearing his mate shift about on the sled. He didn't mind pulling Harry, even though he'd said Riddick's blood was healing his wounds, he still needed to rest after his fight.

"You like tormenting me, don't you my Hunter." Harry said with a moan, "Just you wait till we have a free moment, there plenty empty homes at that settlement."

"Can't wait Vixen, can't wait." Riddick rumbled, and he couldn't wait, he still had blue balls from before, even thinking about it now was making his pants uncomfortable to walk in.

And he wasn't the only one, just hearing Riddick's dark voice made Harry hard. He knew that it was the bond wanting to be completed that was making them both horny as hell, until they marked each other it wouldn't end.

With a sigh, Harry closed his eyes to take a little nap thinking things couldn't get any worst. How wrong he was. 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

It was an hour before they reached the settlement and Harry woke from his nap just as Riddick came to a stop.

Harry turned in the sled and, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, took in the small settlement.

Yawning, he got up from the sled and was happy to see no one tried to stop him. Feeling the heat on his back getting more intense with the yellow sun, Harry reached down and opened his bag.

Placing his hand just inside it he thought of what he wanted and not a second later a white shirt appeared in his hand. Pulling it out, he placed his arms through the sleeves.

He was glad for his creature sides, but there were drawbacks to them as well. His vampire side

meant that not matter how long he is in the sun's rays, he wouldn't get a tan. Sadly though, he could still get burnt if out in it too long.

Doing up the shirt buttons, he saw Johns come over with Imam and they both lifted the cell that Harry had been sleeping beside off the sled and dragged it towards the Skiff.

As Harry followed them, Imam turned as he was helping Johns and asked, "How are you feeling my son?"

"Better Imam, the medicine I took is helping it heal faster." Harry lied. He couldn't tell them that his shoulder and stomach were just about fully healed thanks to his mate and that he didn't find it so hard to move anymore.

"That is good to hear." Imam said happily as they stopped behind the skiff and placed the cell down.

"I will see if I can get the water running from the water fountain. From what I've seen of it, I can get it working again. There seems to be only sand and dust keeping it from working."

"That would be good, the alcohol won't stop us from getting dehydrated." Fry said, nodding to the holy man.

As Imam made his way to the machine with two of his sons, Paris came around the corner of the skiff, not looking impressed.

"Now normally I'd appreciate antiques, but this, this is something else." Paris said in dismay. He was not at all hopeful that Fry would get this off the ground.

"It will work." Johns said to him, looking up at the wings.

"Nothing we can't repair so long as the electrical adapts." Fry said coming out of the skiff with Jack.

Harry walked closer and came to a stop on the opposite side of Paris and Johns, looking down at the cell. He hoped the bitch was right, even if his magic was working fully he couldn't repair this ancient thing.

"Well it's not a star-jumper." Shazza said coming to a stop beside Harry.

"Doesn't need to be." Riddick said making everyone look up at him.

"Take a two-seater like this back up to the sole shipping lane, stick out a thumb, bound to be picked up," Riddick explained, like it was only a simple thing to do. "Ain't that right captain?"

Harry watched as Fry and Johns shared a look before she called out, "Can I have a little help here?"

Harry hid a smile as Riddick started walking over to them at a slow pace, like he was taking a walk in the park instead of scaring some of the survivors.

As Fry and Jack moved to pull the cell inside and Paris, seeing Riddick making his way over, moved over quickly and grab it from them.

"I've got it." Paris said taking the cell and pulling it into the skiff. He didn't want to be around the killer again, not anytime soon anyways.

Just as Riddick got close, John stepped into his way and stopped him. Harry had to stop himself

from laughing as he heard Johns halt him like you would a horse, "Do me a favour, check these containers out and see if we can patch these wings up with something."

Riddick fixed Johns with a look. He knew why the cop wanted to keep him away from the skiff, but sooner or later he'd get a look inside and see what he was working with.

Walking off to have a look around, Riddick did as he was told but not before giving Harry a once over with Johns watching.

Seeing Harry's pretty blush and Johns' pissed look, satisfied him, for now.

"Harry, why don't you find somewhere to rest up?" Shazza suggested, she was worried about the young man over doing it.

"I had a nap over here but I will take it easy, Shazza," Harry said smiling at her. "Don't worry so much."

As the others went about their business, Jack and Ali walked off somewhere and Harry slowly followed behind. He didn't know why, but he felt that he needed to be near Ali.

At first, he was shocked to see Jack go into one of the homes with Ali, following behind them, he stood in the shadows and watched as Jack went into the building and came back out with something in his hand.

"I know you can't understand me but this will be so cool." Jack said to a smiling Ali.

On the table was a shaver and men's shaving foam, Harry raised a brow at that. Jack was still too young to have started growing a beard and he didn't understand why the boy would need the tools but it soon became perfectly clear.

Harry watched as Jack placed the cream on his head and then, with a mirror that was in the room, started to shave his hair off until he was completely bald.

"There, now no one will mess with me." Jack said happily, using an old towel to wipe away any leftover cream.

(Looks like someone's got a case of hero worship.) Harry thought laughing inside. He knew Jack wanted to get closer to Riddick, ever since he heard about him really, and it was cute that the kid wanted to be like Riddick so much, but it did send some worry through him as well.

He didn't know Riddick's past yet and he knew it wasn't going to be pretty, but there had to be was a reason his mate was a murderer. He got the feeling Riddick didn't kill those that were innocent, only those that tried to stop him from getting his freedom.

Hearing giggling, he looked up to see Ali laughing as Jack did silly poses. Shaking his head, it got even funnier when Jack picked up some goggles and placed them on his head and over his eyes, just like Riddick's.

It wasn't long before they moved on and made their way back into the sunlight, he waited till they left the room before following. He didn't want to spoil their fun by letting them know an adult was watching them.

His instincts were telling him to stay near the younger boy and he never ignored them as they have saved his life so many times.

Harry hid in the shadows with a little smile as he watched them trying to stalk Riddick as he move closer to one of the bigger buildings. They weren't doing a very good job of it however. With a quiet chuckle, Harry followed behind them as they moved closer.

Harry saw Jack move away from Ali to get closer to Riddick. Instead of following Jack, Harry went after Ali who moved to the other side of the building.

Even though he was staying near Ali, he watched Riddick out the corner of his eye. He watched as his mate kneeled down and picked up something that were buried in the dirt. One of the things he picked up Harry had no clue what it was, but the other item Harry knew very well, it was a pair cracked glasses.

They reminded him of his old pair but it's been years since he had them. He was happy he was free of them too as he would be blind as a bat without them on all the time.

Dusting his hand off, Riddick got off the ground and moved towards the doors, reaching forward he pulled at them, but they didn't budge. There sounded like there was a chain or something holding them closed, but it was locked from the inside.

(But who locked them?) Harry thought, as Riddick reached up and moved the cover aside to see the sign above the door.

A sharp whistle came from behind Riddick and turning, they both saw Johns standing there patting his leg like he was calling a dog over.

"Missing the party. Come on boy." Johns said, giving his leg one more pat before moving off, expecting Riddick to follow him.

Harry wanted to sneer at the audacity Johns had for treating his mate like some pet.

Riddick didn't move for a second, before he took a step forward and jercked the cover off behind him.

A gasp sounded and revealed Jack, who had been hiding under it.

"Missing the party, come on." Riddick said to him, as they moved off to wherever Johns was going.

Harry realised then that he hadn't been watching Ali. Turning around, he started sniffing the air and picked up the boys scent, following it around the building. He came to a stop in front of a hole in the wall, the metal was torn and looked like something had come out from the inside.

The hairs on the back of his neck rose as he started to get a bad feeling in his gut. Ali's scent lead inside, but there was another scent coming from in there as well, something he had smelt inside that bloody hole.

Harry tried to think fast, the scent inside was stronger meaning there was more and one being in there with little Ali and it was as vile as the beast he faced in the hole, but something nagged at him. It seemed different, younger.

Not pondering on it anymore, Harry quickly ran to the hole and cursed when he found it was too small for him to fit through.

There was only one way he was going to get inside. Closing his eyes Harry called his magic to him and in his mind a picture came to him. He had done this so many times before his sleep but he

hadn't since waking, he just hoped it work.

Slowly, he felt his body beginning to change. It shrunk and fur began to spring out all over his body, there was no pain when three slick black tails sprang from his tail bone and ears grew upon his head.

A growl left his throat as he fell to the ground on all fours but instead of hands there were slick black paws with deadly looking claws in their place.

Where Harry once stood, a black three tailed fox the size of a wolf, with glowing green eyes was in his place.

Dashing through the small hole, he looked around him and nothing but saw machines. Lifting his nose in the air, he sniffed out Ali and, after picking up the trail of the small boy, ran towards him. As Harry came around a corner, he stopped sharply as he spotted little Ali looking to the slowly opening panels above him.

Turning swiftly back into his human form, Harry heard the something above them in the rafters, looking up he saw something clump together and moving.

(This is not good) Harry thought panicking. Not wanting to spook whatever was resting up there, he slowly made his way towards Ali.

Suddenly, the building seemed to come alive. The covering Riddick had pulled off had been coving the solar panel and now the ceiling panels began to open once more letting in the sunlight. Moving faster than the eye could see, Harry appeared behind Ali and grabbed him, pulling him back and into his chest, he quickly placed his hand over the child's mouth to silence any sound he would have made.

"Shh… little one, I'm not going to hurt you." Harry whispered keeping his eyes on what was above them.

Little Ali lost the tension in his body as he realised who it was, but he did become scared when he felt how tense Harry was.

Harry let go of Ali month and started looking around, Harry knew he didn't have long before the light disturbed the creatures from there sleep.

Quickly Harry searched for a way out, the hole wasn't an option anymore, it was too far for little Ali to make it.

There were upturned crates and boxes around them, he could see another door, but there could be other creatures inside so that was out.

Harry's heart began to race as the light filled the room and became closer to the nest above them. Time was running out.

Just as Harry thought there was no where to run, he spotted one of the crates turned on its side its contents spilled on the floor, it was bigger than the others and had enough room to fit both of them inside it.

(Hopefully the thick metal, will keep us safe.) Harry thought, bending down he hoped Ali understood him enough for this plan to work.

"Ali. When I tell you to move. You move, got that?" Harry said into Ali ear, feeling him nod back

to him, he was thankful Ali understood what he was telling him. Taking in a deep breath, they both got ready to run as the panels open fully and sunlight filled the room. Its rays hit the rafters and the nest burst to life.

"MOVE!" Harry shouted just as the hatchlings swarmed after them, their screeching filling the air.

Both Harry and Ali ran towards the crate. Harry pulled Ali into the crate before slamming it over them just as the hatchlings swarmed around it, banging into the crate and scratching at the metal to get to the meal they knew was inside.

Harry held Ali, tightly to his chest, trying to block out the screeching and thumps against the crate.

He could hear Ali whimper and tremble in his arms, scared out of his wits, and Harry wasn't far behind him, he was terrified.

A little light came into the crate and Harry looked up to see one of the Hatchlings had cut a small hole into the metal, they were coming through.

Thinking quickly, he moved one of his hands from Ali and placed it on the metal. Making sure both of them were touching the walls his poured his power into his hand, praying that it worked. Around them the metal started to glow red with the heat and the Hatchings that had been clinging on the sides and resting on top started to screech even louder as they flew off the heated metal in pain.

Harry gritted his teeth in pain as the heated metal burned his hand. He knew he couldn't keep this up. The hunger these things were feeling was overwhelming and they weren't going to stop attacking the crate that hid them.

With a cry of pain he let go of the crates side. The minute he did that it began to cool now that its heat source was gone. The screeching and bangs became louder as once again the hatchlings covered the crate.

Ali cried out in terror and Harry had had enough. He hadn't escape from the big beast just to be eaten by their offspring. There was only one way he and Ali were getting out of this.

His Mate, his Hunter.

HE WANTED HIS RIDDICK!

Opening his mouth Harry let out a powerful roar that drowned out the hatchlings screeching.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 10

Time change

Walking into the room the others were resting in, Riddick walked over to the table and grabbed one of the cups of water that Imam had set out. He downed it at once, it was stale and a bit gritty but after so long without drinking anything it was heaven.

They all finally had water to drink, after so long on only booze. The booze from earlier had only made him thirstier, he knew it would but anything to wet his throat was good at that point, plus it had turned his little Vixen on. Placing the cup down Riddick reached for another, when Johns stopped him.

"Here." Johns said pushing one of the cups towards him, Riddick gave him a long look before grabbing it, Johns turned from him grabbed the one he had been reaching for and walked away from him.

Moving towards a doorway, he looked down to look into the cup and smirked. It was just like Johns to give him the left over cup, with dirt and sediment inside it, Riddick wasn't surprised by the cop giving him this.

~Bastard, thinks I don't know what he is doing, like this will make me sick and weak to him. I haven't lasted this cause of clear water.~ he thought, smirking, though he wasn't going to drink it, he wasn't stupid after all.

"All praises be to Allah, for his many blessings to us." Imam toasted his glass of water to the others, before taking a sip.

Jack entered the room with his new look and grabbed a glass and everyone gave him look. Johns even leaned forward from where he was sitting to get a better look.

"What?" Jack asked, seeing the look the others were giving him.

Paris who was standing next to the boy, nodded his head in his direction, and jokily said, "It's the winner of the lookalike contest."

Riddick had to hold in another chuckle at the kid trying to look like him, he didn't know if he should be insulted or complimented that a kid wanted to be like him, a convicted murder and a man that's more animal than human.

~Not that my Vixen minds.~ Riddick thought, his mind going to what nearly happened back at the ship. Next time, he wouldn't stop because of someone coming their way.

He had been so close to taking his Vixen then, it wasn't even funny that he got cocked blocked by kids. The moment they got some time alone he was going to finish what he started that was for fucking sure.

"Who were these people, anyway? Miners?" Paris asked them curiously.

"No, looks like geologists. You know, advance team; moves from rock to rock," Shazza explained to him. She had seen some of the same equipment on different planets. Though some of the stuff here was out-dated.

"Nice of them to leave so much stuff here for us but why'd they leave their ship?" Fry asked as she looked to Johns then back to Shazza. Something about this settlement unsettled her, it was like a ghost town.

As they were talking, Riddick was the only one to notice Imam leaving the room with a concerned frown on his face. ~Most likely to look for his son, speaking of looking for the missing, where has Harry gone off to?~

Riddick thought of his little Vixen as he tipped the shitty water away. He would get some more later, the first cup had helped quench his thirst for now and he had suffered dehydration before and knew his limits.

Crossing his arms and leaning against doorframe, his mind went back to his mate. The way Harry moved was like a graceful cat or cunning fox out hunting for game, stealthy, silent and deadly to any that thought he was a weak target.

What still shocked Riddick was that he could see Harry in colour, which he was happy about. Whenever he stared into those precious emeralds that had so much life in them, knowing his mate was a part vampire, excited him, he had heard of those beings of the night, how strong and deadly they had been before being wiped when a sun imploded

He wondered what Harry's other half was. Being clean suddenly after their fun had been a surprise and whatever his vixen had done had had left behind a strange energy over his skin. It had tingled for a while after he had left too.

~Will have to ask my vixen about that later.~ Riddick though Johns' voice forced his thoughts away from Harry.

"It's not a ship, it's a skiff and it's disposable really," Johns said, taking a gulp of water.

"It's more like an emergency life raft, right?" Paris asked the others.

"Yeah. They probably had a big drop ship take them off planet," Shazza said like it was obvious.

~Don't these people get it? Whoever came to live on this planet, never made it off,~ Riddick thought before voicing his thoughts. "These people didn't leave. Come on. Whoever got Zeke got them… They're all dead," Riddick said, hitting them with the truth they wanted to hide from. Putting his goggles back on before looking at them and continuing, he said, "You don't really think they left with their clothes on the hooks…. photos on the shelves."

"Maybe they had weight limits. You don't know," Shazza said, trying to deny that that was what happened here.

"I know you don't prep your emergency ship unless there's a fuckin' emergency." Riddick said

"He's fucking right." Jack cursed, trying to sound tough like Riddick.

"Watch your mouth." Johns said to him, hating that the kid wanted to be like the killer. He knew kids could do stupid things but cutting his hair and wearing goggles was taking the cake.

It didn't help he was still pissed about Riddick getting so closer to Harry. He could see the attraction that was between them the two and he knew Riddick would fuck anyone that showed an interest, but he didn't want Harry hurt by the Big Bad. After all, an animal like Riddick wouldn't care about his partner, unlike him who would show Harry just what pleasure was, Johns smirked to himself. Looking over at the Big Bad he knew he'd have to put a stop to the attraction between the two.

"Hey, he's just saying what we're all thinking." Fry said with a grim look on her face as she turned to Riddick.

"So what happened? Where are they?" she asked Riddick like he knew all the answers, but before he could answer Imam entered the room looking worried. Riddick was also feeling the emotion entering his heart as his mate still had yet to enter the room. He also noticed the youngest boy was still missing alongside him.

"Has anyone seen the little one? Ali? Harry?" Imam asked the others, worry laced in his voice. Before anyone could answer him, a roar rang out through the air that sent shivers down there spines.

Riddick's head shot up in that direction, the other followed his line of site and without a word, Riddick moved into action before anyone could blink.

He sprinted out of the room and the others followed him as fast as they could, for a big man Riddick could move fast, only Johns was able keeping up with him.

Riddick raced towards the coring room where the sound had come from. The rage and the need to protect his mate ran through his blood giving him the strength to kick the locked door in, strength he unknowingly had, snapping the chain that had been locked on the inside making the double doors fling open with a crash just as the others came up behind him.

What meet them was a dark empty room and a deadly silence. Johns had his gun out as he and Riddick walked slowly into the room. The others stayed by the door, Fry pushing Jack back as he tried to enter the room with them. Johns told Imam to go slowly, but Imam was too worried, he walked right past them calling for Ali and Harry.

Moving around the room with caution, Riddick moved slowly, he could hear movement behind the door Imam was moving towards, but Harry's scent wasn't coming from there, what was coming from that door was death, their death.

Riddick moved to stop Imam from opening the door, but was sadly too late and the hatchlings from inside burst free, pushing Imam to the ground. They began swarming around the room, John started to fire but they were moving too fast for him to hit. Going unnoticed by them in the ensuing panic, some of the hatchlings were burning in the light. It all ended in a second as the hatchlings swarmed into the hole in the middle of the room.

"HARRY!" Riddick roared out, trying to keep the worried out of his voice.

They all turned suddenly as a sound reached them from the other side of the room. John held his gun to the crate as it rocked. Just as suddenly as it had started, it stopped and they towards it slowly, keeping their eyes pinned to it, they jumped back as it tipped to the side to reveal a scared Ali and a pale shaken Harry.

"Ali!" Imam cried as he ran to his son. Taking him from Harry, he pulled a crying Ali in a warm hug while Riddick made a beeline towards Harry. Standing in front of him, Riddick looked him over looking for any wounds. Seeing only scratches and bruises on his arms and face that were slowly healing already, Riddick ran his hands down Harry's arms trying to calm himself and his mate down, reassuring them both that everything was all right.

What Riddick really wanted to do was pull Harry into his arms and as Riddick didn't give a shit what the other thought he did just that. Harry didn't care if they saw either, he was just happy his mate had answered his call.

Harry didn't know why he feared the monsters in the dark as he was a part dark creature himself. Maybe it was because they were killing machines, their hunger inside outmatched anything he had ever felt before, they would die trying to get food.

Neither of his creature sides were like that, not even his vampire half, though at that moment he wished he had better sight from that side of him. He needed to change his eyes to be able to see the dark, however the catch to it, if there was light in the room or area, it would temporarily blind him if it went into his eyes.

Laying his head against the rock hard chest, Harry breathed in his Hunter's scent, letting it relax his tense body. What neither Harry nor Riddick saw were the jealous looks they were getting from Johns and Fry.

They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Johns was pissed that Riddick was getting closer to Harry and Fry was in a rage that the freak was being held by Riddick like he was his lover, though she would deny it to her last breath that she wanted to be in his place.

Jack, seeing no one stopping him from moved over to Harry and Riddick, both broke apart as Jack got closer.

Suddenly feeling shy, Jack moved from one foot to the other not knowing what to do now that he was close to them but he didn't really have to do anything as Harry took it out of his hands by pulling him into his arms.

"I was worried something happened to you like back at the hole," Jack whispered into his chest, letting his worry show through, but everyone could see it.

Shazza, who was standing not far from them was smiling at the scene, Harry would make a great father one day.

"It's ok little one, I'm not going anywhere…sh… it's alright Jack," Harry whispered back holding the boy in his arms. Children had always been a weakness of Harry's, he cared so much for the young ones of their little group that he didn't want to see anything happen to them. Though there was still something about Jack that he couldn't put his finger on, that didn't stop him from feeling love towards the young boy, just like he felt towards Ali and even his older brothers.

Harry looked to his mate with a sweet smile and all Riddick wanted to do was take him right then and there.

Imam, with Ali still in his embrace, walked up to Harry as Jack pulled away to stand beside him.

"Thank you, my son, for saving Ali. He told me that you pulled him into that crate. If you had not done that…" Imam stopped there, he couldn't finish that sentence but they all knew what would have happened to Ali if Harry hadn't been there. The same thing that had happened to Zeke.

"What I want to know is how he knew that he was in here in the first place and what made that loud roar." Fry demanded as she stormed over to them, pissed as hell after seeing Harry in Riddick's arms like old lovers when it should have been her not him.

"Well, Fry, how do you think I knew he was in here? I followed him of course." Harry said slowly like he was talking to a child that didn't know any better.

"You may believe in letting small children run around without supervision when monsters roam beneath the sands, but I have a different philosophy." He sneered, enjoying the chance to bait her.

"Of course, it could just be that my mothering instincts are sharper than yours, but then again, I'm a man." Fry's face went red with anger, she was about to respond but as she opened that big trap of hers, Johns stepped in thinking he needed to be on Harry's good side if he ever wanted to get into his pants.

"Enough, we don't have time for this. We should be happy they're both safe and that's that. Alright Fry?" Johns said, looking from one to the other. He didn't need a cat fight breaking out, not when they needed to find out what the hell was going on. Though thinking about it, he wouldn't mind seeing those to have a go at each other, though he already knew which of them would win in fight.

And it wasn't their dear old captain.

Fry shot them both a glare. She hated that again she wasn't backed up by the group, they seem to love this bastard, but she knew he was nothing but a freak. After all, there was that roar and it sounded more like an animal than human, and she didn't think those small creatures could create something so loud.

She was going to prove that Harry was something unnatural even if it was the last thing she did.

Turning she walked over to the hole that the creature went down, leaving behind a smirking Harry.

Harry just shook his head and pushed the smirk off his face before anyone saw, he loved seeing that bitch get knocked off her high horse. He had nearly died again and she had to try and make his secret known before he was ready.

And he had thought things couldn't get any worse.

(That will teach me teach to tempt fate.) Harry thought to himself.

"Are you ok Harry?" Shazza asked, when she step up to him.

"Yeah, only a few cuts and buries from being in that crate." Harry said, turning to her.

"What about your shoulder and chest?" she said worriedly, she knew that he was massively injured from going into that hole and now rushing could reopen the healing wounds. What she didn't know was that they were already healing under those bandages.

"Their fine, not paining me at all thankfully." He said with a little lie, he couldn't tell her that they were only an hour or less from being fully healed.

"If they pain you too much I will have a look at them for you." She offered, she still blamed herself for him getting so hurt in looking for Zeke and now he saved Imam's youngest as well.

She had never met anyone like Harry before. He thought of others before himself, and that was rare to find in this day and age. And she was glad that she had met him even under these circumstances.

"I will be ok, Shazza, no worries, but if they start paining me I will come right to you." He said smiling at her.

She nodded and smiled at him, she had a funny feeling it would take a lot for Harry to go to someone if he was hurt, but she will take his word for now.

Shazza made her way towards Johns and Fry as they slowly got closer to the hole. Harry watched her go, smiling, it seems he had made a friend on this shithole of a planet.

"I will take Ali from here, I do believe he has had enough excitement for one day." Imam said, his arm still wrapped around his little boy, he could feel how shaken the poor lad was and he wanted to get him out of here so he could relax after his scare.

"That would be for the best, Imam, after some water and rest he will start to feel as fine as we can get in this situation." Harry said.

"Thank you again for what you have done Harry, I couldn't imagine what would of happened if you weren't here for him." Imam said, he really couldn't imagine himself laying one of his children to rest.

"No thanks needed Imam. I would do it all over again, if I had to." Harry said strongly and Imam believed him. Harry was one that would risk his life others and was a protector at heart.

"Not alone." Riddick said suddenly behind him.

"Mr Riddick is right, not alone." Imam said, "I will be keeping a closer eye on them now that we know some of the buildings are not safe."

"If we're here any longer, we should think about clearing them to make sure they're safe." Harry said. The idea was a good one, as they didn't know when the skiff would be up and running again and they need somewhere to rest after being up for so many hours. All they knew a few days could have passed and they wouldn't have known it.

"There's no we, there be me and the others." Riddick rumbled. There was no way he was letting his mate do something like that, not after what just happened.

"Let me know when and where, and I will assist. For now I must get the little ones away from here. Come Jack." Imam said, turning from them and herding his family outside.

"But…" Jack started to say but Imam was already moving him from the room, this was no place for children after all. It wasn't long before they were outside and away from the building.

Leaving only Johns, Fry, Shazza, Harry and Riddick inside, Harry and Riddick watched them go before Riddick turned to Harry and was about to say something when Shazza called out from behind them.

"You need to see this." She said.

Harry stuck close to Riddick as they walked towards where the hatchlings had fled, Shazza, Johns and Fry had climbed the stairs onto the walkway that surround the hole, he and Riddick stayed below the others.

Harry didn't want to walk on something that had been there for how many years and leaned over a hole that held killer creatures inside. Looking over, they all peered down into the darkness.

Harry had the feeling of looking into the abyss. The hole stunk of death and very old blood that was spilt here. Johns lit one of his flares and let it fall into the darkness, lighting the way to what was down there. To say what they saw shocked them was an understatement.

Skulls and bones lined the walls, like decorations in a home. As the flare reached the bottom, there, littering the entire floor were more human bones in all shapes and sizes. Bones of the people before them, those who made the mistake of living on this god-forsaken hell hole and sadly they paid the price with their lives.

"Other buildings weren't secure. So they ran here. Heaviest doors. Thought they'd be safe inside. But they forgot to lock the cellar," Riddick said as he too looked into the abyss.

Harry used one of the abilities he got from his elf side, it called it past-sight, it allowed him to look into the past of whatever he was looking at, but it wasn't images he saw, but feelings and sound. If he had been a full elf he would of seen the past as well as felt the emotions that were there at the time, but being a Halfling made the power diluted, he would catch a image now and again, but not always.

Using the past-sight was something he didn't like doing often, but when faced with something like this, he needed to know what happened to these people, with that in mind, he looked down into the hole.

All the past feeling rushed through him, pain, fear, death. The things these poor people felt as they were slaughtered, hearing their children's cries of pain, not being able to see the claws of those monsters tear into their loved ones.

Harry turned off his elf sight, no longer wanting to feel the pain of the past.

Harry sighed and walked away from the hole, shaking away the feeling as much as he could. He moved towards what looked like core samples, most likely taking from the hole.

Looking them over he picked up one of the cards and looked over the information that was on it when he heard someone coming down the stairs of the cage quite loudly, turning he saw Shazza walking towards Riddick with a determined look on her face.

He watched on as she moved to stand a bit from Riddick and looked at him for a moment. She

looked to be pondering something before she seemed to have made her mind up about whatever was bothering her.

Riddick had noticed her looking at him as well and stared back at her, wondering what she wanted.

They both soon learned what she was up to when she took off her breather she held it out to him.

"Here." She said passing him the breather, he looked at him before turning back to her.

"What, it's broken?" Riddick asked her as he held it, before throwing it on the floor.

Shazza looked pissed that he did that, she said, "No there still a few hits actually you asshole. What I am trying to say is that I am sorry."

Riddick didn't know what to say to that, he knew this must have had to be about before when she kicked him in the head, thinking he killed her lover, but he didn't want her apology. The only reason he hadn't ghosted her was because his mate liked her.

From behind them Johns came down the stairs and stepped up behind her, looking from her to Riddick. He hadn't like what he had heard, he didn't need these people seeing Riddick as a good guy.

"Ok," Johns said. "Let's board this place up and get the hell out of here."

Johns moved away from them and towards Fry and Harry, she had come over as Shazza was talking to Riddick, and had picked up one of the cards like himself. Harry didn't like being so close to the bitch but for now he would put up with it.

Harry watched her out the corner of his eye, he may hate the bitch, but he knew she could come in handy later.

"Whatever the fuck those things were, they seem to stick to darkness, so if we stick to daylight we should be alright. Okay. Let's go." John said to them before turning away but he didn't get very far.

"Twenty-two years ago." Fry said out of nowhere making everyone turned her.

"What?" Johns looked at her confused at what she was getting at.

"These corning samples are dated; last one's twenty-two years ago this month." She explained, the feeling of dread was spreading through her stomach, she knew this meant something.

"Okay. Is there something special about that?" Johns asked sounded like he was getting a little inpatient

"I don't know. There could be." Fry said before she walked out the room with Johns and Shazza following her.

Harry turned and saw Riddick picking up Shazza breather unit, he placed it over his shoulder and took a hit.

"Do you go around pissing people off my Hunter?" Harry said walking over to him.

"You pissed at me?" Riddick asked. He knew how much Harry has started to care for Shazza, he saw it when she spoke to him earlier.

"No, I know I was mad at her for kicking you and you have no reason to trust her word after that." Harry replied, he knew it was hard for his mate to trust people.

Once he was standing in front of Riddick he placed his hands on Riddick's shoulders.

"But I can't help but know that if something happened to you and the person I thought responsible was standing in front of me I would have acted the same way as her, though worse as I would've ripped them apart." Harry said. He knew if something had happened to his mate there would have been a blood bath.

Standing, Riddick wraps his arms around Harry and placed his forehead on his. His breath ghost over those red lips as he spoke, "Nothing is ever going to happen to me Vixen, you have no worries there, but I will try and be nicer to the woman as I know she cares about you."

"Thank you." Harry whispered back, he felt like some burden had been lift from his shoulders. He hadn't realised that he had been worrying about this so much, he had come to care about Shazza, and having her and Riddick at odds was hurting him inside, one side wanting to comfort his friend and the other wanting to protect his mate.

Riddick rubbed his head against Harry for a minute before saying, "You have to stop scaring me like this Harry. I can't keep you safe if you go running off like this."

"Trouble seems to find me anywhere I go, Riddick, and I couldn't let Ali die when I knew I could stop it." Harry said, "Plus I don't see myself doing something like that again anytime soon, I've had enough excitement for one day."

"Life won't be boring with you, will it?" Riddick smirked, he had to have a mate that was a trouble magnet.

"Would you want it to be?" Harry asked smiling. He knew life was going to be different now and he had to think about now throwing himself into danger now, but life wouldn't be dull with Riddick around.

Riddick chuckled deeply, before he remembered something. He had noticed when they were at the hole that Harry was doing something, the scent of pain and fear was coming from him but it hadn't feel like his mate's.

"What were you doing back at that hole?" Riddick asked.

"Huh?" Harry was confused about what he was going on about.

"I could smell you, Vixen, it was like you were in pain, but not at the same time." Riddick explained.

"Oh, I was using my elf past-sight, to see what happened here." Harry told him, "What you were picking up was what I was sensing."

"Elf?" Riddick asked in surprise, that wasn't what he expected Harry to say.

"Oh yeah I didn't get around to telling about what my other half was, did I." harry said sheepishly. "Well, as I said before I am part vampire but my other half is elf. I was also a wizard before I became a hybrid and I still have my magic. I'm an unusual mix that's for sure."

Riddick looked at him in shock, taking off his goggles he stared into those green eyes and saw the truth of his mate's words.

Harry was about to explain about his past so Riddick got the whole story, when a shout from outside interrupted him.

"Harry!" Jack called from outside.

"We better go see what Fry has discovered." Harry sighed. Every time he and Riddick were alone they got interrupted by one of the other survivors.

"You will explain about this later, Vixen." Riddick said. He was curious about what his mate had told him, he wasn't only a vampire but an elf as well, and that bit about being a wizard explained some of the things he had witnessed and experienced before.

Getting up, they both made their way outside and saw Jack waving from outside one of the other buildings. Making their way over, they stepped in after the boy and saw everyone already inside the room.

Finding a spot to stand, Harry stayed near his mate. He was still a little shaken up from before and didn't want to be away from him anytime soon.

He didn't know what had sent Fry into a panic but he had a bad feeling that things were going to get bad again. Looking up at Riddick, who nodded to him, he knew he wouldn't be doing it alone this time.

Taking a look around the room they were in, Harry saw that the place was filled with sand and dust from years of non-use, but the state of the room left his mind when something caught his eye.

In the middle of the room there was a model of planets. It was the solar system they were in, it had the three suns, but also two larger planets and in the middle was a smaller one.

(This must be the one we have landed on.) Harry thought as he watched Fry moved towards the model.

Harry hoped Fate would be kind and didn't have something worst planned for them being nearly killed twice now was not what he called having a good day.

(As soon, the bitch has shown them what she wanted I am going to find some where to shower this blood off and sleep.) Harry thought to himself. He didn't know how long they had all be awake since landing on this planet but he knew a full day must have passed by now.

Hearing a clicking sound broke Harry from his thoughts and he turned his attention back to Fry and watched her as she moved the model. On the front of it appeared to be some kind of counter and the numbers were slowly going up, the further up they went the more worried Harry became. It was like watching the countdown to your own demise.

(Morbid much.) Harry though before he saw the numbers stop at twenty-two.

And that is when fear hit him hard, along with everyone else in the room, the small planet in the middle was covered in darkness, the two big planets had aligned and blocked out the suns light, placing the small planet that they were on in pitch blackness.

"An eclipse," Harry whispered but they all heard him as they stared in shock at the model. "Hell's gate will open and the world will be bathed in eternal darkness…"

"You're not afraid of the dark, are you?" Riddick said smirking at them.

Being ill you can't really write so all my other stories are going to be slow going up as well. I thought I would answer some of the questions that have been asked. First ob1292: ok the Goblet from chapter 1 the reason that Harry didn't use it is he forgot about it, its been some months that he has been drinking from humans and with Riddick around he didn't think to use that, but that goblet will be popping up at some point again 2# the magical community and vampires I am not going to give anything away with them but I do have plans hehe 'Launch a few Feyndfire spells into the hole' his magic isn't working as it should its why he had so much trouble with the one spell he used so he isn't going to use hard- core spells till it's safe for him to do so and see what happens. Wow a lot of you really want Fry to die, I have to laugh cos I like her in the movie but she turned into a right bitch in this lol but don't worry I have plans for miss Fry (evil grin) though a lot of you will want to shot me till we get to that point lol if you have any more questions I will try and answer them in the next chapter without giving something away of course a big thanks to my beta Kakanaruiru for editing this. ok on with the story more changes for you all and I wanted to say thanks for all the lovely reviews they cheered me right up while I was in bed okay enjoy

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 11

Harry didn't know if he should hit his mate or laugh at him for his words, but he didn't manage to do ether as Fry stormed out of the building with Johns following at her heels. The look on her face made him curious to see what she had planned.

He moved away from Riddick silently, the others in too much shock to notice him moving towards

the exit but before leaving the room though he sent a nod over his shoulder to his curious Hunter.

He wouldn't want him wondering where he got off to after all. But he wanted, no needed to know what those two were planning for all of them. These were their lives on the line after all and after everything Fry had done so far, it wasn't a good idea to leave her in charge of their escape plans.

As Harry made his way out the room, the others finally snapped out of the shock they had received.

"I'll see if I can get that Sand-cat out there running. Jack, I will need your help." Shazza said. She wanted Jacks help more to keep him out of trouble, after that coring room scare she didn't think any of the children should be out on their own.

"Ok." Jack nodded nervously, before they made their way out of the room.

"I will see if there is anything we can take, food or water, onto the ship." Imam said before leaving with his children.

Pairs looked around and saw he was alone with Riddick, "I will just…right." He stuttered out before rushing to follow the others.

Riddick held in a laugh at the nervous man, he wouldn't last ten seconds in a slam. Looked around at the now empty room, he wondered where his Vixen had gone off to. There was unfinished business between them that need seeing to, preferably before the eclipse.

~I'll find out sooner or later where my Vixen has run off to. For now, I need to see what Johns had cooking in that drugged up brain of his.~ Riddick thought, shooting one more look the model before moving out of the room.

He knew Johns well enough to know that the man would be getting nervous at the thought of those creatures being on the surface and when he was on edge he was more dangerous and unpredictable. ~Lets go see what Johns wants with the good old Captain.~ Riddick thought as he stood in the doorway. He watched as the others rushed around trying to prepare for the darkness coming. He could also see Johns or Fry but he knew just where those two were heading for some privacy.

With a smirk Riddick left the room and headed toward the skiff.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Harry was glad no one but his mate noticed him leaving, he didn't want to explain to them where he was going, he needed to know what Fry and Johns were planning now they knew about the eclipse. He hadn't thought much on the eclipse himself yet, he had pushed it to the back of his mind at the moment, though it made fear claw at the back of his mind at the thought of facing those monsters again.

And from how fast Fry left the room, he wasn't the only one afraid. From those dates on the coring samples and how fast Fry was moving her ass, there might not be much time before darkness encased the planet. Could be hours or if they were lucky, days.

Harry didn't rely on Lady Luck to be watching over them in this situation though. They were on their own and the feeling in his gut told him they only had a day at most before they had to get their ass off this planet.

Taking a breath, he slowly changed his form and where he once stood, a black fox again took his place. He called his magic to him and shrunk himself even more so that he was the size of a natural

fox and then he cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself.

He thanked Merlin it worked this time instead of cutting out on him. He really had to spend some time down in his library to find out what was up with his magic but right now he had some prey to follow. He moved silently through the shadows of the buildings and made his way closer to the duo.

With how his magic was behaving, he didn't fully trust the charm to hold so, just in case, he kept well out of view of Queen Bitch and Johns as they stormed towards the ship.

Fry had gone into 'Captain mode' and started to bark off what they had to do to the ship to get it ready for lift off before the suns set and Hell's gate opened.

(More like controlling bitch mode.) Harry sniggered in his mind, he started to pay attention to what the bitch was saying, he needed all the information he could get after all.

"So, we're gotta get the power cells, Shit! I've still gotta check the hull, patch the…" Fry said as she stormed towards the Skiff, fear was driving her as her mind raced in what needed to be done. She had seen the wounds on Harry when he had come out of that hole and now those little hatchling things as well.

She didn't want to be around when the eclipse came and smothered the planet. She wanted off the surface before even a hint of it began.

"Wait on the power cells." Johns called out suddenly, cutting her off as he followed behind her.

"Wait for what? Until it's so dark we can't even find our way back" Fry said, disbelief in her tone as she stopped and looked back at Johns.

"You don't know when it's gotta happen, so lets not get over excited here" Johns said calmly, pissed the woman wasn't listening to him, but he let none of that show on his face.

"Just get the fucking cells here Johns. What is the discussion?" she asked wondering what the hell he was on about, she thought he would want to get off this planet as fast as the rest of them.

"Maybe I should tell you the particulars of how Riddick escaped." Johns said. The expression on his face unsettled Harry, it was conniving and he didn't like it one bit.

So, staying in his fox form and making sure the Disillusionment Charm was still working, he followed them into the ship, hiding in the shadows close to the exit, watching to see how Johns was going to mind fuck Fry into doing what he wanted.

Johns began to tell her how his Riddick got out of the slam in what Harry could tell was the ugly version; Harry would just ask Riddick after this was all over for what really happened that day but he didn't really care one way or the other. It just showed him how clever he's mate is and how is resourceful he could be.

"He can pilot!?" Harry snapped back to what they were saying when Fry said that in shock.

"Yeah. He jacked a prison transport. Made a hell of a good run before I tracked his ass down." Johns said to her. There was a smug lilt to it that Harry picked up on, but it went right over the bitch's head. It made Harry wonder how Johns caught Riddick in the first place, something about it all unnerved him. (Have to ask him later.) Harry thought before turning back to the conversation.

"Ok. Ok. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe we can use him to help us navigate or something?" Fry

asked, her mind working overtime in what to do with this new information. She was trying to think of a way for Riddick to help them or more likely, to help her get off this planet without dying.

(I get the feeling that Johns wouldn't like that. Not in this lifetime.) Harry thought looking to Johns and seeing the disguised disgusted there. He was right in knowing Johns wouldn't let that happen.

Harry didn't understand why Johns wanted so much control over Riddick. Harry had already worked out that Johns wasn't a cop, not with how he acted and the medicated scent that was always coming off him, but he didn't know what he was, he hadn't heard anything back with Cap Maz and his crew. Whatever his profession, there was no way he was going to let his mate be taken back to a slam by him or anyone.

Sniffing the air inside the skiff, he had to hold in a growl that built up inside of him as he picked up Fry's interest in his mate, the bitch just wanted Riddick for herself. He remembered picking it up back at the crash site when she was interrogating him about Zeke. Now it flared again at the thought of Riddick being near her.

Harry was never going to let her get chance at touching his MATE. He would sooner rip her throat out than let a single finger of hers touch him.

Johns seemed to have also picked up on Fry interest in Riddick and was getting pissed that Fry was trying to justify in letting Riddick pilot beside her. It seems he needed to push her a little more in the direction he wanted her to go for his plan to work.

"He also figured out how to kill the pilot." Johns said, his expression serious. He didn't want Fry being sympathetic towards Riddick, he needed the survivors to fear and if possible hate him and having Fry know that he killed the pilot was a step towards that goal. What he was leaving out was the man had been a merc like him and had tried to kill Riddick at the time. 'But she doesn't have to know that. This girl needs to stop thinking with her cunt and more with her brains. Riddick has no interest in her other than to get them on his side. He would sooner bend that pretty Harry over the closest surface than play with her. Not that I don't want to do that myself.' Johns thought before turning his full attention back to Fry.

(That's right Johns, scare her into following you like a good little dog, then maybe she will leave my mate alone.) Harry thought, his muzzle pulling up into a snarl. (Though from the scent I am picking up she doesn't care. Though I do wonder why I am picking up arousal from Johns, maybe he wants a go at her.) Harry nearly lost what little water in his stomach at the thought. But he couldn't help being curious as to why he was getting lust from Johns for a second there.

Taking another sniff of the air he nearly sneezed at all the scents, he wanted nothing more than to cast an air fresher spell to make it so he could breathe again. He didn't like all these scents clogging up his nose. He could miss something, like the anger that was slowly coming from Fry. (Looks like she doesn't like where Johns is going with this conversation.) Harry thought.

Fry on the other hand was getting pissed that Johns was trying to plan something for Riddick. She didn't see a man as infamous like Riddick being fooled that easily and she wasn't going to end up killed because Johns wanted to double cross him. She wanted Riddick to trust her and help her get off this planet. 'Maybe once off this hellhole, there could be something after all a man like Riddick wouldn't have been with a woman for a while with all that running.' Fry thought with a shiver of pleasure down her spine but that pleasant feeling soon left at the thought of Riddick being pissed at them planning like this behind his back. Getting back to the topic at hand and banishing all lustful thoughts of Riddick she turned back to Johns and let her anger take over her again.

"You told me we could trust him, you said that we had a deal, Johns." Fry shouted angrily at him.

She didn't want to be around when Riddick found out what Johns had planned. That thought sent shivers of fear through her. She may want to fuck Riddick but that didn't mean she wanted to be killed for fucking with him. Some of that fear had shown through her tone of voice and both males had picked it up. They could tell she didn't want to acknowledge the fear she also had for Riddick but it was clear as day to hear.

"Now, you may have not noticed, but chains don't work on is guy. The only way you people are truly safe is if he believes he's going free. Say he stops believing…" Johns said watching Fry with his sharp blue eyes.

"You mean if he realizes we're going to fuck him over." Fry said sarcastically, pissed off that Johns was playing around with their safety and messing around with Riddick of all people.

"I want you to just listen to me for a second. If we bring the cells up at the last minute, when the wings are ready and we know where we really are…." Johns muttered to her trying to get her to see it his way.

"He hasn't harmed us, as far as I can tell he hasn't even lied to us. Let's just stick to the deal, Johns." Fry said. She did not want to get on Riddick, bad side, not when they were all going to be in such a small space once they got off this planet.

"He's a killer! When the law says he has to do his bid. There nothing I can do about that. You hear me?" Johns said angrily, he was pissed that she was fighting with him on this.

"You're dancing on razor blades here." Fry whispered seriously.

(How true that is my dear Fry.) Harry thought darkly. (But it isn't just him doing the dancing my dear.)

"I'm not gonna give him a chance to grab another ship. Or slash another pilot's throat. And what do you think he has planned for the young boy out there? Harry has no idea what Riddick will do to him if he ever got him alone. And I'm not going to let that happen." Johns stood and looked down at Fry seriously. "Not on my watch."

Harry knew it was his time to go then. Sneaking out from the hatch he stepped to the side and turned back into his human form. With a stretch, he fell back to lean on the warm metal of the Skiff as he thought on what he'd learned. It seemed Johns was stepping up his game now that they had the darkness coming and the skiff nearly fixed. How he thought he was going to get away with making them all wait for the last minute Harry didn't know. But playing around with those creatures they were dancing with death and someone was going to die before all was said and done.

The only thing he knew for sure was that Fry didn't have to worry about dancing on razors with Riddick and fearing him coming to cut her throat out.

It would be him.

Now normally, he wouldn't what another's death on his hands, but the bitch was free game in his book. First she tries to kill them in the crash, then the bitch tried to get him killed down that fucking hole, nearly making him become lunch, and now she was lusting after his mate. Now that just pissed him right off and both his creature sides want to see her blood splashed across the ground at their feet.

And Harry was going to make sure the Bitch didn't leaving this planet alive.

Letting out a sigh, Harry supressed the anger that was building up inside, threatening to turn his eyes red and making his claw burst out until he could handle her. Feeling a little calmer he turned to the right and pushed of the Skiff. He didn't want Johns knowing he had heard them.

Just as he moved away, he spotted his Riddick sitting on a crate beside the ship with oil on his head and a shiv in hand and knew that he had heard everything between Johns and Fry as he did and from the raised rows he had also seen his transformation.

Smirking at his surprised mate, he sauntered over to him, feeling Riddick's eyes watching his hips behind those goggles as he made his way over.

(If I was moving the other way I know he'd be hunting my ass. Hmm what a lovely thought.) Harry thought pleasantly looking into Riddick goggles thinking of those sliver eyes that were hidden beneath. Taking the shiv from his mate's loose hold, he walked behind him and felt honoured that his mate trusted him to be behind him with a blade. Not many got that privilege. Harry gently moved the blade over Riddick's scalp and shaved away any hair that had been growing, not once feeling nervous about using such a sharp blade so close to his mate's skin. He remembered a time his Papa had taught him how to shave with a blade even though they found out Harry didn't grow any type of hair on his body other than on his head and eyebrows. But it had been a bonding time between them and learning to do it for his Papa when his hands couldn't steadily do it anymore had been some of the most peaceful times between them.

Taking care as he groomed his mate, Harry handed him the blade to scrape off the oil onto a barrel next to them, as he did that he moved forward till his mouth was closed to Riddick's ear he saw his hunter shudder as his breath ghost over it as he began to speak.

"You heard all my love?" Harry whispered. Riddick gave a grunt in answer and handed Harry the clear blade and let him continuing shaving him.

"I also saw, Vixen, fitting name I picked out for you." Riddick rumbled lowly, knowing his mate could hear him. He had been surprised at seeing a three tailed fox sneak out of the skiff and turn into his mate, it wasn't something you saw everyday even with his travelling. But he can see that being useful in getting into places and it explained how he got into the Coring Room through that small hole. He wondered what else his mate had up his sleeve.

"I will explain that later as we are about to have company, but you should know that isn't my normal size." Harry whispered back, he had a lot to explain to his mate, but with everything going on, nether had the time.

Riddick and Harry watched Johns come out and brace himself against the ship, Harry turned back to what he was doing when Johns start to be sick. Not something Harry wanted to watch, he was never good with watching someone being ill, it always made him feel sick as well.

"Bad sign. Shaking like that in this heat." Riddick said as Harry handed him the blade again so Riddick could scrape off the grease on the side of a barrel, before he handed it back.

"I thought I said no shivs." Johns hacked out, trying to hold down what was left in his stomach, watching jealously as Harry gently ran the blade over Riddick's head with gentle care one would give a lover and not a mass murderer.

"This? This is just a personal grooming appliance." Riddick said as he took the blade from Harry again to wipe the old oil grease off once more, loving every minute of jealously and rage on Johns face.

~That's right fucker, he is mine.~ Riddick thought possessively.

Taking it back, Harry watched through his lashes as Johns looked at them nervous, but both could smell the jealousy coming from the man in waves as Harry finished shaving Riddick's head.

But Johns didn't stay to see anymore and as he stumbled away, Harry could smell the medicated scent that normal came from Johns weakening.

"Now what's wrong with him, my hunter?" Harry asked Riddick. He knew something was up with the so called cop but he had never come across a scent like his before so he didn't know what was causing it.

"Needs his next hit, Vixen." Riddick explained. "Morphine. He can't go long without one."

"Shit, so that is why he smells like a hospital." Harry said, finally working it out in his mind.

"Got hooked on it after he came up against me. Went for the sweet spot and missed, left a piece behind." Riddick told his mate. He remembered that night well, he had thought he had ghosted the fucker and hadn't stayed around to see if he had, not long after the bastard was on his tail again and this time Johns was pissed. Now he didn't know if he regretted not ghosting him then or not. Not when it was because of Johns catching him again that led to him meeting Harry.

Harry thought about what Riddick had just told him. Now that he knew that the scent coming from Johns was because of Morphine, he understood why he was so put off from even feeding from Johns. If he so much as took a sip of Johns' toxic blood, he knew he'd be as high as a kite for hours.

Grabbing a rag, Harry cleaned the excess oil from Riddick's head before placing a kiss upon it. Standing, Riddick quickly grabbed his mate and claimed his mouth in a passionate kiss but before Harry could grab onto his mate Riddick was gone just as fast as he came.

Blinking Harry watched dazedly as Riddick walk silently onto the ship just before the door closed behind him, leaving Harry leaning back into the ship panting, his pink tongue darting out to lick up the taste of his mate. Dark and Spicy, just the way he liked it.

Shaking his head, he tried to clear the fog that clouded it from the kiss. Looking at the now closed door Harry used his elf hearing to hear what was being said inside. And what he heard made his blood boil, he didn't need his nose to tell him that the Queen Bitch was turned on by Riddick, he could tell by her voice alone, and his mate wasn't helping matters by using that dark seducing voice of his to make Fry do what he wanted.

Having heard enough, Harry stormed off away from the ship towards one of the abandoned family buildings.

Entering one, Harry was greeted with dust and grim that had built up over the years of neglect, underneath all the dust though it still had a cosy feeling of a home that was once loved. Waving his hand over the room, he was happy to see his magic come forth and the once dusty room was now clean. He could never leave something a mess when he could clear it. An urge he had never been able to get rid of from his younger years though the memories of those times had faded.

Looking around, Harry spotted a door across the room and made his way towards it. Behind it reviled a bedroom that had seen better days. But it could be useful to his needs for the next few hours.

Closing the door softly behind him, he closed his eyes and pictured the room he wanted in his mind

and focused his magic into making it happen. Feeling the powerful blood he had gotten from his mate rush though his veins, he called the magic to his hands and waved them across the room, letting the magic that had built up rush out.

Opening his eyes, he saw that nothing had happened and bit back a curse. He was too stressed and angry for his magic to work properly just like in the hole with the Lumos spell. He needed to calm down so his magic could flow through him and over the room, changing it into the design he wanted.

Taking three calming deep breaths, Harry tried again and this time it worked. Brown stained walls became a creamier white, the bed frame and side tables turned into a dark rich wood. The bedspread was a blood red colour and looked to be made from Egyptian cotton. It looked so inviting that Harry was fighting not to fall onto it, he had been awake for so long and so much had already happened that now faced with such a comfy looking bed, it was taking everything he had not to fall into its comfy embrace.

Being covered in sweat, grime and dried blood, he didn't like the through of sleeping as filthy as he was, plus he didn't want to get it on the clean bed. What he needed was to get the grim off. Spotting another door he headed towards it.

He found a nice size bathroom but sadly it was just as bad as the bedroom had been before but after a bit of magic that answered the call of it master again it looked new and clean. But looking new didn't mean it had running water.

(Well there's only way to find out.) Harry thought as he moved over to the shower. He reached for the handle and, sending up a prayer to Lady Luck, turned on the shower.

Nothing happened.

Letting out a disappointed sigh, Harry turned and made his way back towards the door, but before he could take two steps. Lady Luck answered.

Age old pipes groaned and whined behind the wall before the showerhead started to shake under the stress and slowly water began to flow. Not much at first but it became stronger and faster as more water was forced out.

(Thank you Lady Luck.) Harry thought with a smile. He stuck his hand under the luke-warm water. Waving his hand his clothes disappeared and the old bloody bandages were banished, revealing pale unharmed skin. He reached up and pulled the tie from his hair, letting it fall down his back as his mind went to Riddick once more.

(Riddick's blood has healed me faster then anyone in all my time as an immortal.) Harry thought in shock placing a hand on the unmarried skin of his stomach, looking to his shoulder he saw that it had always heal without leaving a mark.

Normally, he would still be healing, especially from a wound that deep, but there wasn't a wound left, not even the ones he got from the coring room.

The anger he had felt before was gone, and suddenly the shower seemed like a plus in getting him to relax as Riddick had done that without even being there.

Harry was falling hard for his hunter.

(Even if he does piss me off with flirting with The Queen Bitch.) Harry thought. (But I'll get him back for that later.)

Smiling, he stepped into the fast flowing cooling water. He was delighted as the cool water washed over him, taking away not only the dirt and grim of the day but the heat as well. Not even a cooling charm would have worked this well, he had only to get stressed and it would of faded with how strangely his magic was acting. He had been lucky so far in getting it to work when he needed it most. Even being part vampire didn't keep his body cool like full ones, which had its pros and cons on most days.

Cleaning himself the best he could with a soap charm and water, Harry felt as normal as he ever could get as grime and dirt washed away. Bracing his arms against the wall he let his eyes close as water rained upon his head and over his body, relaxing tenses muscles that had been tense since what had happened in the Coring Room.

His smile turning into a sigh of pleasure, Harry licked the water droplets on his deep red lips he thought of Riddick and how he came to protect him and then made sure Harry was not harmed when he had gone after Ali.

Flinching suddenly, Harry placed his hand over his stomach. The need to feed was strong once more even if he had not fed that long ago from Riddick, but being attacked twice in such a short span of time would make anyone's energy fade fast and the lower his energy the closer he comes to going into a blood rage, just like that night so long ago when his life changed for the better and for the worst.

The night Voldemort and his Death Eaters invaded his home.

The night he lost his dad, Remus.

His Papa, Severus's heart broke that night. Seeing the dead body of his husband had nearly ended it for him, but he stayed strong for Harry and Draco both because his sons needed him and he had known it would have been what his late love would have wanted.

Harry missed Severus, his Papa and the rest of his family and friends he had made in the years before his rest. He knew that he would always feel each and every loss.

Having found Riddick had dulled the ache in his heart and was slowly filling it but there would always be a hole where his family had resided. He still remembered the last moments he had with his Papa all those years ago.

(Flashback)

"Papa, please. Don't leave me." Harry sobbed, clinging to the withered hand, blood red tears falling from his emerald eyes.

"Harry, my son, it is time for me to go." His Papa wheezed.

Harry couldn't or wouldn't accept that his Papa was lying on his bed with Death himself coming to claim him.

"Don't leave me alone Papa, please! I can't do this on my own. I don't want to be alone." Harry begged, holding on tightly to those long fingers, hoping against hope that he could keep death away.

"I'm not leaving you my son, I will always be here in your heart." Severus placed his weak hand over his heart. "And you can do it my brat, I have taught you all of my knowledge. You are now a master in all the arts and I am happy to have witnessed your achievements. The only wish I have is to know what happened to your brother." Severus wheezed out.

"I will not rest until I find out Papa." Harry promised tearfully.

"Do not let it consume your life my son, one day you will know but until then I want you to enjoy your freedom. It is now up to you to enjoy life and do not forget, somewhere out there is you're mate and he will look after you better than I can now." Severus said smiling at his son. He was sad to leave him but he was more of a burden now and he wanted to see his love so bad that it hurt, he knew his son would be okay on his own until his found his mate. He could feel it in his gut.

Harry looked into those onyx eyes that had not faded with time and knew it was time. Even now is Papa's heart was slowing and there was nothing he could do to stop the grim from coming.

"I'm so tired Harry and I wish to sleep." Severus said, his eyelids growing heavy.

"I love you my son." Severus said softly.

"I...I love you too Papa, now and always." Harry sobbed, placing a final kiss on his Papa's head. Severus smiled and kissed his son on the forehead before closing his eyes.

"Be good brat." Severus whispered before falling asleep.

"I will Papa." Harry whispered back. He kneeled beside the bed and held onto his Papa's hand as he listened to the man's once strong heart struggle to beat in its once normal rhythm.

Harry heard the beating starting slow.

Thump…. Thump Thump.

Thump……………. Thump Thump

Thump………………………… Thump

Thump….

…

A piecing howl of sorrow and rage rang throughout the manor. The house elves bowed their heads to the passing of a great man.

(Flashback end)

Harry didn't know it but those same blood red tears were flowing down his face again at the painful memory, turning pink as the water washed them away. Before he knew what was happening, he felled to his knees as sobs overcame his small frame.

He didn't know how long he sat there, staining the water with his tears and filling the room with his soulful cries as more memories of events that brought him pain flashed over his mind. His dad's death, losing his brother, his friends abandoning him. More and more appeared and each and every one was like a dagger through his heart.

Harry was so deep in his memories of the past that he didn't notice the bathroom door open.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 12

Riddick smirked as he left the dazed Harry behind. He would have loved to play with his Vixen some more or even find somewhere to finally claim him but sadly he had some minds to screw with so everything went according to plan. He did not want Fry and Johns teaming up, not when the shit was about to hit the fan and they were fighting for their lives.

Slipping silently onto the skiff as the ramp closed for a hull integrity check, he watched as Fry pressed some of the controls to make sure the computer systems were running as they should be after being abandoned for twenty-two years. Looking around himself, he got familiar with the skiff. He knew he could fly it but he wanted to know where everything was when they had to rush out of here, he just had to get close enough to see the control console.

Looking back to Fry, he saw the hull integrity test start on the monitor screen, it made Riddick

happy to see this old rust bucket was working enough to get him and his Vixen off this rock. ~Though not all of us will.~ Riddick thought looking over the seats in the skiff. There weren't enough seats on there for everyone in their fucked up group. Looking at the back of Fry's head he thought. ~Wonder if the bitch has realised that yet.~

"Thank you." Fry sighed at the screen, relieved that there was nothing other than the missing cells that was stopping the skiff from taking off. She was happy she'd left the wings to be fixed by Shazza, she was thankful to have someone that was so handy with them. Since Shazza had gotten those done and was working on the sand-cat now, all she had to worry about were the cells. She didn't know how she felt with leaving the cells to the last minute though. She couldn't see why but Johns didn't trust Riddick to not make it off with the ship and leave them behind.

Pulling away from the console, she moved to stand from the chair but paused when she saw Riddick standing in the middle of the tiny ship that seem so much smaller now with him inside.

"Looks like we're a few shy." Riddick said finally having her attention, "Power cells."

"They're coming." Fry said just above a whisper. Riddick could hear the woman's heart beating faster.

"It's strange, not doin' a run-up on the main drive yet," He waited a half beat before taking off his harness and hanging it up. "Strange, unless he told you the particulars of my escape..."

"I got the quick-and-ugly version." Fry said shifting nervously.

"And now you're worried about a repeat of history." He said, amusement was hidden in his voice not that she catch onto that.

To give her some credit, her body didn't betray the nervousness. Not like her heartbeat did. "Entered our minds."

She turned off a monitor to her right leaning towards it more to avoid stepping any closer to Riddick, but as she turned it off he took the choice out of her hands. He stepped onto the two open plating on the floor, forcing them down with a bang as he got right up in her face.

"I asked what you thought." He pressed, taking a step closer. He paused when he realized that her heart beat had accelerated even more, and fear wasn't the only smell in the air now. He had smelt it back when she had wanted to see his eyes as well.

~So the bitch is still hot for me even after hearing Johns' little story. Heh, if I hadn't meet my mate I would of taken her, but now I have something so much more…satisfying to look forward to.~ he thought smugly.

"You scare me, Riddick." Fry admitted, her tone defensive as she looked into his goggles.

"That's what you wanna hear, isn't it? Now can I get back to work?" she said disinterested. Though she tried to come over as a strong and unafraid, her scent and beating heart gave it away. It didn't help that her eyes quickly scan over his form before turning away towards the control panel.

It betrayed what was going on her mind when concerning him. And that pleased him, having this bitch thinking more with her pussy than her brain would work in his favour.

"I've been meaning to catch up with you alone. Unrestrained..." Riddick said coming closer again so she could feel his body heat nearly touching her.

Quickly, he scanned the controls, memorizing them. He'd never flown one of these models before, but it looked the same as any ship and as a skiff it would be less advanced and hi-tech so the controls would be hell of a lot easier than the last ship he piloted.

~I wouldn't have any problem getting me and Vixen out of here in this, when she is no longer needed I'll get to see my Vixen play.~ Riddick thought suppressing a shiver down his spine. Turning his attention back to Fry, whose body radiated sexual tension and fear at his words, it helped at how close he was to her back, she wasn't going to be facing him anytime soon not with her face giving everything away.

The small space was felling with her aroused scent. It amused Riddick at her attraction to him, though if Harry was in here now he would be painting the walls red in jealously, and that thought made Riddick hard as a rock, but sadly he had to get back to messing with Fry mind, he can play later.

Moving closer, he grabbed a pipe above him as he came up to her right side, looked at her and asked. "You think… you think Johns is a do-right man? You think I could trust him to cut me loose?"

The tension grew in her body at his words this time. She really hoped against hope that he hadn't heard the conversion between she and Johns or they were all fucked.

Calming her heart as much as she could, she opened her mouth and tried to not show how nervous she was. "Why? What did you hear?"

"Well, I guess if it were 'trick ration', he'd just 'X' me out, huh? He'd kill me." Riddick said letting go of the bar and moving to grab onto the same one as her. It was time to split the co- leadership.

"Then again... I am worth twice as much alive." He would of have smirked as her heart skip a beat, moving in close he saw her looking at him out the corner of her eye. "You didn't know that? Your Johns ain't a cop."

Smirking, he moved to the left side of her smelling her hair as he whispered the home truths into her ear. "He's got that nickel-slick badge. And that blue uniform. But he's just a merc."

Going back to her right ear, Riddick barely suppressed a grin when he heard her quick intake of breath, "And I'm just a payday."

"That's why he won't kill me, see? The creed is greed."

Fry had had enough, her body was screaming for him to take her, as well as feared at how close he had gotten, and it pissed her right off. She didn't want to believe his words as truth, that she had been fooled by Johns all this time. "Don't waste my time. We're not gonna turn on each other, no matter how hard you try."

Fry moved away from him, though she wished that she didn't have to, and sat back in the pilots chair as she started pulling switches, trying to distract herself.

But the seeds of doubt had been planted. He moved to lean on her chair, "I don't truly know what's gonna happen when the lights go out, Carolyn. But I do know once the dying starts...this little psycho-fuck family of ours is gonna rip itself apart."

Standing up, he turned and walked towards the exit of the ship but had one more seed to plant. "Ever wonder why Johns shakes like that? Ask him. Ask why your crew pal had to scream so

painfully before he died."

The monitors seen started beeping, displaying. "HULL INTEGRITY—100%"

The hatch reopened and Riddick made his way out. Once he knew he was out of her sight, he moved to the stand beside a building and watched smugly as Fry storm out of the ship, most likely to find Johns to verify if he was telling the truth.

Looks like his seeds of doubt have blossomed inside her mind already.

He felt even more satisfied when the scent of rage, fear and sexual frustration coming from her, the bitch deserved it and much more after what she had done to his mate. Now she was about to find out that Johns was nothing but a drugged up mercenary who cared more about his next fix and payday than anyone's lives.

And that made Riddick one very happy man. The more he got the bitch to trust him, the more he'd have a chance to get off this rock with his mate as safely as they could.

Oh he knew the bitch wanted him, fuck she went into heat like a cat every time she was around him.

Back when he was in the slam he would have used the bitch by now but he had a beauty to pleasure. His Vixen was perfect and he wasn't the only one to notice that fact, both Johns and Fry had as well for different reasons, he could smell the dark lust coming from Johns whenever Harry was in sight. It made the primal side of him want to ghost the fucker, even Johns looking in his mate's direction had him growling with rage.

And Johns wasn't the only one going to get ghosted, he knew Harry would kill that woman before they left this planet, that was for sure and if Harry didn't he sure would. That bitch had sent his mate to his death. And that just pissed Riddick off.

And one thing you learn very quickly was to never piss Richard B. Riddick off.

You never lived long enough to brag about it.

Raising his head slightly, Riddick scented the air for his missing Vixen and, after catching it, made his way towards one of the family buildings. Stepping inside what looked to be the living room, he noticed that it was cleaner than any other the other buildings. ~Guess my mate has been using his magic again.~ Riddick thought before hearing noises coming from one of what he guessed was bedrooms.

He slowly made his way to the door and picked up on the one thing he never wanted to hear coming from his Vixen. Pain filled cries and the scent of tears reached him and he raced towards the sound. Entering the bedroom, Riddick thought nothing of the now changed room and headed towards what had to be the bathroom.

Opening the door, Riddick saw his lovely mate on the floor of the shower crying. He rushed over and paid no mind to the water raining down on him as he wrapped his arms around his distressed mate.

Harry felt arms go round him and the scent of his mate surrounded him in a protective cocoon. All the pain fear and worry left him and he went boneless in the arms of his mate, nuzzling his head into Riddick's neck, taking in his scent and Harry started to calm. Riddick held Harry close as his hands rubbed up and down his back in comfort and started a deep purr like rumbling deep in his chest to also comfort his distressed mate.

Rumbling, Riddick whispered into Harry's ear. "What's wrong Vixen? Tell me."

Harry took a shuddering breath before explaining what was happening to Riddick.

"I was thinking about my papa. When dad was killed, I saw the broken look in my papa eyes, he didn't let me or my brother see what he was going through, trying to be strong for us, but we both could see his heart was crushed at the loss of his soul mate. I would catch him in the library late at night crying in dad's chair." Harry sobbed as he remembered those easily days, the pain had been so overwhelming that some days it was nearly suffocating and it took them all being together to beat the depression back.

"He wasn't the same after that night, none of us were. There was always a look of sadness and pain in his eyes and I think we were the only thing stopping him from joining dad in heaven straight after his death." Harry said tearfully. He took a calming breath, before continuing.

"When papa finally passed years after, it left a giant hole in my heart. I knew I was alone. I'd had friends over the years but I didn't want to let anyone as close as my family and in the end the only ones I had by my side were a house-elf, Codey, she was just as loyal as her grandfather Dobby, she wouldn't leave my side till the very end, and my goblin friend Jaxlyx Goldblade. He, along with others, built my resting place. He understood my need to rest, I was more dead than alive by that point, and the Wizarding World wasn't leaving me alone, always wanting me to fix their problems that they were too lazy or scared to do themselves." Harry explained. His voice was so dead at the end that Riddick tighten his hold and growled inside, he hated the thought that his mate had been treated like that.

"So after my goodbye to those that mattered to me, I fell into a deep sleep until I was disturbed by something, though I have no clue what. Maybe the storm that had raged above me or even the wards giving out, but I was lucky in that there was a ship that had found the tomb and me. It was thanks to them that I got off Earth. I will always thank Merlin that Captain Maz and his crew came that day."

Harry looked up at Riddick. "You would have liked them Riddick, and I know they would have loved you."

Holding Harry closer, the convict rested his head on top of the thick black hair and did one thing he thought he would never do in this lifetime; tell someone something about his life.

About his own past.

"I was found in a trash bin by a liquor store, umbilical cord around my neck." Riddick spoke lowly. Harry sat up in his arms and watched him with concern in his eyes, but did not stop him from what he had to say.

"After that I was in and out of foster homes, some families were decent but others learned fast I wasn't to be messed with. I remember one calling me an animal once when one of the others in the home tried to get money out of me and I broke his nose." Riddick chuckled at the memory. Bastard had learned after that not to mess with him and left him alone, though it wasn't long before he was moved again.

"Soon as I hit 17 I joined the company and became a ranger, I learned all my skills from a man named Captain Hardass," Riddick said, smirking when he heard the snort that escaped Harry at the name.

"Yeah his name caused many of the newbies to laugh at him, but you soon learned not to take the

piss out of his name, not if you wanted to spend that night cleaning the bathrooms using only your clothes. He was a hard man and was a son of a bitch when it came to training; he pushed us all into being the best."

"After training I got reassigned to this little planet, I was to keep the law and I found out fast that the law on this planet was the law of the company." Riddick growled, and held Harry tighter to him, the memories of that place still sent rage boiling in his veins. "Life on Sigma 3 was near slavery, I was to 'enforce security' more like murdering and torturing the workers and when I spoke out against it, the Company was quick in keeping me silenced. They refused to change their inhumane system on Sigma 3 so to keep it quiet, they had me sent to the slam known as Deep Storage and disposed of the evidence I had gathered."

Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing, but in a way he also could. His own godfather had been sent to prison without a trail after all. He had to stop himself from changing in rage at the injustice his mate had faced.

"Didn't take me long to get out from there, though. Company put a bounty on my head after that, but no matter the slam, I still get out while mercs like Johns chase me and would put me back if they got lucky but those slams can't hold me for long." Riddick said. He felt glad to have finally told someone what really happened all those years ago but there was more to his past he had yet to tell his mate and he knew there was more from Harry too. But it was going to take more and one sit-in to get through it all. And they didn't have the time to do that now.

Harry sat there, listening to what his Hunter had gone though and it broke his heart that Riddick got so much shit thrown at him for trying to do the right thing but it also showed just how strong his mate really was. One day this Company would go down and Harry would make sure his mate was there to see it.

Riddick hadn't expected to be so open about his past, but it wasn't as hard as he thought speaking about it with his Vixen. Quite easy really.

~Though.~ Riddick thought with a slow smirk making its way on to his face, sitting under the shower getting drenched with his sexy naked mate in his lap was not how he pictured them getting to know each other, ~But it is a bonus.~

Harry nuzzled into Riddick neck, feeling more connected than ever to his mate now that he knew some of his past.

Chuckling, Riddick picked them both off the floor, turned off the shower and carried his naked mate to the bedroom. Now that all the emotional shit was out of the way, he wanted to get to know his mate in a much more physical way.

Placing Harry on the bed, Riddick looked down into those emerald eyes.

They were both ready for this, it had been long awaited and there was nothing that was going to stop them now. Not the other survivors, not the creatures that wanted their flesh and neither Fry nor Johns were going to stop them from bonding now.

Riddick took off his drenched shirt, throwing it to the floor and Harry purred at the sight of his mate's muscular chest. Riddick smirked and lay down next to his naked mate on the bed side by side before leaning up on an elbow and trailed his other hand down Harry's face.

Harry could feel both of his creature sides becoming impatient at having their mate so close but not close enough. Feeling fire start to rush through his veins and his magic pulse inside him, he

reached up and pulled Riddick down into a passionate kiss.

LemonsON AO3

Growling, Riddick wrapped his arms around his Vixen's neck and back to raise him up, pulling him flush against him as he took control of the kiss and began to map out his mate's sweet mouth with his tongue, making them both moan at the taste of each other.

It was more heated than the other times, and what neither knew was that inside Harry, his magic and something else came awake. It started the bonding process and there was no stopping for either of them now.

Harry pulled away, trying to catch the breath Riddick had stolen from him, though only slightly.

"Riddick," he begged against Riddick's lips, his warm breath washing over his senses, Harry didn't know what he was begging for but he wanted to be closer to his mate.

Nodding, Riddick moved off the bed and undressed as quickly as he could, his eyes not leaving Harry's as he took off each bit of clothing. Harry purred as his mate's body was revealed to him, all those hard muscles were like nothing Harry had ever seen. In the Wizarding World, they relied on magic so much that there was no one with a body like Riddick's but what made Harry's catch his breath was when his mate showed him what had been pressing against him so much.

Harry moaned breathily as he took in his whole mate. His member was at least nine inches in length, and so thick Harry wondered if it would even fit inside him. Seeing the slight fear in his mate's eyes, Riddick moved onto the bed pressing his body against his mate's, forcing him back into the mattress.

He didn't put all his weight onto Harry, after all he didn't want to crush his small Vixen, so instead he hovered over his smaller mate.

"There's nothing to be worried about, Vixen, I'll be gentle as I can." Riddick whispered to him.

Harry nodded, he had read enough about the act of love making to know for males there was always some pain but it soon left.

Looking down into those glowing emerald orbs, Riddick felt his heart move like never before, in a way he knew it would only move for his Vixen.

Harry lifted his hands to explore the new skin revealed to him with unsure hands, he had slept in other's beds, but he had never been with any of them. It had been his magic that made it appear so in their minds.

This was the first time he had ever touched anyone so intimately, so he was unsure if he was doing anything right as he placed his hands over Riddick chest. That thought soon left him though when Riddick gasped in pleasure at his touch and he quickly became more confident in what he was doing.

Running his hands over Riddick's shoulders, he pulled his mate down and closer to him.

"Riddick… My Hunter, claim me, my mate." Harry purred, staring up into liquid sliver eyes

Riddick growled and lent down, nipping at his little Vixen's neck. The words were tempting, the body more so, but those eyes... his little Vixen's eyes had him; he'd do anything for his little mate, his beautiful, wonderful Vixen.

Harry moaned and moved his head to the side to allow his mate more access to his neck, gasping as Riddick bit him hard enough to draw blood.

Growling in pleasure at the rich taste, Riddick sucked on the wound to taste more of that wonderful blood. Moaning, Harry couldn't help the breathless laugh that slipped out at the thought that entered his mind. Drawing back Riddick raised a brow at his laughing mate.

"What's so funny?" He growled.

"It's just… I thought I was the one with vampire gene here." Harry said, humour lacing his breathless words as he looked at his Hunter with amused eyes, but amusement turned to lust and pleasure when Riddick's finger tips brushed against his nipples.

Riddick smirked, watching his Vixen's body and face as he played him like a finely tuned instrument, pinching and pulling at the now hard nipple he leaned down and took the hard nub into his month.

"Please, Riddick. Please." Harry cried out at the amazing sensations coursing through him, he clenched at his mate's head and pulled him closer.

Hearing his mate beg nearly sent Riddick over the edge, but he knew he didn't have much time to play fully with mate. He had wanted to spend hours driving his mate insane with pleasure, but they were on the clock with the darkness coming and with that in mind, Riddick moved to hover once again over Harry, his sliver eyes burning with pleasure at the sight of his mate undone.

"Mine!" Riddick growled fiercely at him as the animal inside came to the surface.

"Y-yours," Harry panted his agreement. His body was on fire and he felt like he was going to burst soon if Riddick didn't do something. Inside him, Harry's magic pulsed in time with his heart and neither of them saw it wrap around them and slowly join with Riddick's own power, the two merging together and binding them. It now only needed the final act to be complete.

Grabbing his mate's hands from his neck, he moved them to rest on the pillow above his head with one hand holding them there and moved the other towards his little mate's mouth.

"Suck." he commanded, putting his fingers to the Vixen's blood red lips.

Opening his mouth, letting the fingers slip in, running his tongue over them and sucking on them hard, Harry looked up when he heard Riddick's groan and saw the intense look he was giving him.

Keeping his eyes locked with Riddick's he slid his tongue between each finger, slowly, teasing Riddick, then with a smirk he sucked on each digit individually.

Growling Riddick pulled his fingers out of his Vixen's mouth and smashed his mouth against the blood red lips in a deep kiss.

Moaning into the hard kiss, Harry didn't notice Riddick's hand moving down his chest and pasted his waist, till it retch between his spread legs.

Riddick made sure to leave his mate's hard flesh alone as he passed it to reach his main goal, another time he would taste his mate, but for now he will give his mate what he had been begging for.

Gasping into the kiss, Harry ached up as he felt a Riddick's finger run other his most secret place, what shocked them both though was the wet feeling that was already there.

Looking at his mate with a raised brow, Riddick pressed a finger into the self-lubricated hole.

~This will come in handy.~ Riddick thought in passing at his mate being able to make his own lubrication as he pushed passed that tight ring and enter him. Harry wiggled his hips a little, trying to get used to the weird sensation of having something touching him there. He didn't even want to know how he was already lubricated, he couldn't remember reading about anything like this but he would have to look again later. For now he had more important things to concentrate on.

When his little mate wiggled his hips, Riddick smiled and started thrusting his finger in and out a few times, then adding another, and another, stretching the tight entrance open and relaxed for him. There was no way he was going to hurt his mate by rushing him.

"Merlin, Riddick." Harry cried out, he had never felt pleasure like this before. He was burning from the inside out and he nearly came off the bed when Riddick found his sweet spot. Choking on a scream, he writhed on the bed and pushed his hips onto his mate's fingers.

Seeing his Vixen come apart in his hands, Riddick smirked and knew Harry was prepared enough for the main event.

Pulling out his fingers, he ignored the cry of protest from Harry and instead aligned himself with the entrance. Looking down at the lust filled eyes, he kept them in his sight as he thrust in quickly.

Harry screamed at the pleasure and pain that ran through him, it was too much and not enough at the same time. Harry felt like he was going insane with the pleasure he was feeling, the pain had fade already and now all he wanted was for Riddick to move already.

Riddick grunted as he held himself back from thrusting. He was buried in the hottest, tightest place he'd ever known. His cock was surrounded by a heat like nothing else and he groaned as he waited for his little vixen to adjust to his girth.

He knew it would hurt with his size, but that didn't mean he wanted to hurt his mate. So he waited until Harry said he could continue.

Opening his eyes, Harry looked at Riddick questioningly, wondering why he hadn't moved, to see him looking at him with a worried look in his eyes.

After a few moments, he realized that Riddick was waiting for him to give a sign of sorts that he could continue. Here he was silently begging for Riddick to keep going and his mate was waiting for him.

Taking another deep breath to calm himself, he looked at Riddick and smiled at him.

"Please Riddick." He begged.

Hearing those words Riddick let go, pulling back slowly and then inching his way in again. He begins to move, long deep thrusts that wring little gasps and moans from Harry, he moved around slightly, he wanted to find that one spot that would have his Vixen screaming.

It wasn't long before he hit it, causing Harry to throw his head back as a scream as waves of ecstasy coursed through his body.

Riddick smirked at those sweet sounds. Sweat dripped from his brow and with a quick thrust, he hit that spot again.

"AH! There!" Harry cried out as pleasure washed over him.

Riddick grunted with each thrust, going faster and harder each time.

"Yes, more!" he begged.

Aiming for that spot again, and again, Riddick watched in wonder as his mate writhed in pleasure, gripping the sheets in his smaller hands so hard they actually tore. It was actually rather encouraging.

Feeling his mate speed up in his thrusts, Harry could barely breathe with the overwhelming pleasure that was being wrought on his body, over and over, until he felt like he was going to explode.

The bed banged against the wall as Riddick let go and let all of his animal side out, if Harry had been human he would be in great pain but because of his creature sides all he felt was ecstasy. Riddick growled as more of his animal came out until he no longer held back on his mate and let his full power out.

Feeling the power in his mate grow, Harry began to change, fangs grew and his ears became pointed, the whole on his creature sides was revealed, and Riddick watched all this with fascination.

Harry could no longer keep his hands on the bed, he felt like he was flying and there was nothing holding him to the ground. Wrapping his arms around Riddick's, he clung to him as his body rocked from the powerful thrusts. His cock was trapped between them and was rubbing against Riddick rock hard abs. Getting pleasure from two fronts was overwhelming him and he couldn't think as light danced across his eyes.

Both of them where reaching the end and teetering on the edge when Harry screamed out, "NOW RIDDICK! NOW!"

With a roar, Riddick shot forward and clamped his teeth into his mate's neck. Harry screamed again in pure, overwhelming pleasure while the magic inside burst forwards and wrap tightly around them.

Riddick groaned at the taste of blood, it wasn't like before, it was hot and powerful and as blood poured into his month his hips snapped forwards, not once losing his rhythm.

Letting go, but not moving out of reach as Harry shoot forward and latched onto his neck, he growled in pleasure as his mate feed from him.

Harry felt something inside snap into place, letting go he roared out as release overwhelmed him, his cock erupted between them as a gut wrenching orgasm raced through his body.

As Harry came apart and tightened around his cock, Riddick let out a roar as something snapped inside him, power shot through him and bound him to smaller male forever, it was all too much and with a final, sharp thrust he came deep inside his mate.

Lemon End

Neither knew that along with Riddick's Furyan energy and Harry's magic something else had bound them together forever as mates. It pulsed once more before sleeping once again in the smaller host, waiting for its time.

Slowly, Harry came back to himself. He could feel his mate's sweat drenched body draped over him and loved the feeling of safety and comfort it gave him. He felt like he was finally home after

a long journey, a feeling he had missed for so long.

Riddick, on the other hand, was admiring the sexy body that lay beneath him. With eyes glazed from pleasure and the blush staining his pale cheeks, Harry was a beautiful sight and, all of it, accompanied with the knowledge that he was the one to bring his mate to the brink of pleasure, knowing that he was the only one who would ever be able to do this, sent waves of possessive emotions throw him.

He would kill anyone that thought they could take his mate away from him, Riddick growled in his mind and tighten his hold on his lover. ~Mine~

As they slowly calmed and their laboured breathing went back to normal, Harry thought about how his life had lead up to this point. If the wards hadn't fell around his resting place, he would still be asleep, not knowing that his mate was alive and waiting for him.

He also sent a silent thanks to Capt. Maz and Jas, along with his crew for getting him off Earth.

The mating mark on his neck pulsed and filled Harry with happiness. He remembered his papa telling him that as the bond between them grew, they'd be able to feel each other's emotions and even talk to each other with their minds, though those abilities wouldn't appear for some time. If he remembered correctly, it took a few days before the first part of the bond came into play and they would be able to feel when one of them was in danger. The mind speaking would take a few years to fully develop but Harry wasn't worried, he wasn't going to leave his mate's side anytime soon.

Riddick licked away the last drops of blood from the bite mark he'd left on Harry and could feel the same mark on himself.

The beast inside seemed to purr in satisfaction as it felt at peace for the first time. He was no longer alone in this universe, he now had his mate by his side and he knew he would kill anyone that dared to try and hurt what was his.

Turning Harry's head to face him, he kissed those bruised lips once more letting his love and possessives shine through.

Though Riddick really wanted to keep Harry under him and take him once more, he sadly knew they didn't have time for round two. He could hear the shouting outside and knew their light was fading and by the disappointed sigh Harry let out he knew it too. With his mate distracted by the kiss, Riddick slowly eased out of his mate tight heat and tried not to growl in disappointment when Harry couldn't help but whimper slightly in pain. He was slightly sore but he would heal within minutes with his mate blood coursing through his veins. Once his mate was fully out though, Harry whimpered for a different reason. He had been so full before but now he felt empty and wanted nothing more than to have Riddick back inside him.

Breaking the kiss, Riddick stared down into those emerald gems. "You with me vixen?" he asked, inches away from those tempting lips, his breath ghosting over them.

"Always Riddick, lead me through the darkness." Harry whispered against his lips.

Riddick smirked, "Then better get dressed then, no one but me is ever going to see you like this."

He running his hand over Harry's bare hip he knew there was no way he'd let the likes of Johns would see his mate in all his glory.

Harry matched Riddick's smirk and with a wave of his hand they were both cleaned and dressed in their clothing though they were freshly washed. Even Harry's hair that had come unbound during

activities was once again neat and in its ponytail.

Riddick laughed and pulled Harry up, "Handy skill to have Vixen, I think we'll be using that a lot."

Riddick smirked as he looked over his mate and saw that he was still in his creature form. The form was a sight to behold, all that deadly beauty sent his blood roaring inside his veins again and it pissed him off he couldn't enjoy exploring his mate more. Sighing in disappointment inside his mind he spoke, "Better hide those Vixen, wouldn't want to be scaring the sheep now."

Harry blushed at Riddick's look and quickly changed back into his more human appearance. With that, Riddick kept a tight hold of his mate's hand and pulled him from the room. Harry smiled and quick but silently Accio'd his bag to his side, hooking it over his shoulders as Riddick ran out the building dragging Harry behind him.

Outside, they both could hear the others panicking as the planet rose up from the horizon Making their way towards the sand-cat, Riddick took a little detour and pulled them onto one of the buildings and they ran across the roof. They made it in time to hear Jack's worried voice.

"Where's Riddick?" Jack cried out in panic.

Harry felt the his vampire and elf side growl over the boy's attention to his mate but Harry calmed when he felt Riddick tighten his grip on his hand before letting go and got ready to jump onto the cat.

"Leave him! He wouldn't wait for us!" Paris said as he got on board the cat.

And at that moment Riddick jumped from the building and onto the cat right next to where Paris was crouching.

Harry had to stop the laughter from escaping past his lips at what Paris said next.

"Thought we'd lost you." The man said nervously before sitting down as far away from Riddick as he could without falling out of the sand-cat.

(That man really should watch his words, they could get him on somebody's bad side and with my Hunter you should always want to be on his good side or stay well away from him..) Harry thought with a smile, the coming darkness had yet to dampen his good mood.

Ali pulled on Imam's robes, asking him something, his voice filled with panic and worry. Imam nodded and turned to the others.

"Where is Harry, we cannot leave without him!" Imam shouted fearfully.

"Here." Riddick growled.

"What do you mean Mr. Riddick?" Imam asked a confused frown on his face.

That was Harry's cue to jump and he did so, right into Riddick's arms. They looked at Harry in shock as he was held in Riddick's arms bridal style. Blushing, Harry got down and sat next to Ali and Jack, the younger boy grabbing onto his arm and holding it tight. Harry could smell the great fear that was coming from the poor boy, he was still shaken from what had happened in the corning room not that long ago. But there was nothing Harry could do for Ali.

"JOHNS!" Shazza shouted, getting frustrated with the blonde not coming, with a huff she started the cat and moved them to face the way they have to go.

Harry watched as Johns stormed out of one of the building, his gun and gear on, just as they were pulling away. He grabbed the hand that was reaching for him and got pulled aboard. When Johns looked up to see Riddick was the one that pulled him on board, the tension between the two alpha males rose to new heights. As they had a stare off Harry couldn't help but feel like something was going to come to a head soon between the two.

And how right he was, as Riddick was sizing up Johns and making plans. Now that he was mated, he didn't want this bastard anywhere near his mate and the animal inside him was in agreement.

Letting go of Johns' hand they both sat down as Shazza floored it and they were off as fast as the cat could go. Harry closed his eyes and whimper as he felt the hunger these creatures had, he hadn't felt it before, but as more of the light became blocked by the planets the more intense it became. It was astonishing to him that these creatures hadn't kill each other in their food frenzy.

If it wasn't for the brush of Riddick hand to the back of his neck, he would have been overwhelmed by their blood thirst.

Opening his eyes, Harry sent Riddick a small smile of thanks before turning to watch the way they were going. What Harry didn't see, but Riddick did, was Johns scowling at what he had seen.

~So Johns isn't happy with my attention to my Vixen. Better watch that.~ Riddick thought. He didn't want the merc to get any ideas of using Harry to get to him. He was lucky so far that neither Johns nor the others had noticed the twin bites on them, Harry's shirt covered his own and no one was smart or interested enough to look closer at his neck.

As the wind passed him, he catch the lust scent coming from Johns, he change his mind in thinking Johns would use Harry against him. The merc was more likely to try and take Harry for himself. ~Like I would let something that happen, bastard would be dead before he hit the ground.~

Shazza floored it through the canyon and Harry watched as one of the animal rib cages that were in the canyon came closer, they were going to smash right through it. Out of the corner of his eye he witnessed Jack staring at his mate, before pulling his goggles over his eyes and looked to Riddick, who in turn pointed to the cage that they were going under. Harry pulled Ali under him as they all ducked.

Looking back up, Harry watched as the rib cage fell behind them before turning to watch the as the larger planet blocked out the sun. Deep inside, Harry knew they wouldn't make it back in time and with the hunger of the creatures making his own hunger known even though he'd only just fed, he didn't know how long he would last before his eyes started to bleed red and glow along with his ears become pointed again and that wasn't the half of what would happen if he became starved.

Harry saw the ship in sight and when they were close enough Johns, Fry and Riddick along with Imam jumped off the cat and ran into the ship to get the cells. Harry got off the as well and walked a little away from it, watching as the darkness came closer every second. (We're not going to make it.) Harry thought as the light began to dim. He heard Shazza asking where Paris was going as the man made his way towards the cargo hold, but Harry didn't listen as he tried to block out the creatures. They knew there was fresh meat on the surface just waiting to fill their hungry bellies and it filled them with excitement.

He heard Jack stop beside him and watched as the ringed planet blocked half the sun out. He could smell the fear from the boy as he ran back to the cat. He didn't look back as he tried desperately to clean the dirt from the sand-cat's solar panels.

(It's too late.)

Once he was back outside, Riddick stopped and looked up searching for Harry when he saw he wasn't on the cat. Spotting him not far off, Riddick noticed everyone stop to watch as the other planet covered the sun.

He could hear the creatures under the ground growing impatient and then they could all hear them as the screeching started. Riddick saw Harry turn to look at them all.

"We're in deep shit." Harry said, his eyes turning back to look at the sun as it was slowly covered by the ringed planet.

Riddick smelled the fear in the air intensify at his mate words and then it started. The hatchlings from before sprang out from the spirals, screeching the joy of their long awaited freedom.

"How many are there?" Johns asked as he watched in disbelief at the creatures of darkness.

"Beautiful." Riddick whispered. He couldn't help but admire the deadly grace.

"Perhaps you should FLEE!" Paris yelled at them from the cargo hold.

"Cargo hold, MOVE IT." Fry ordered as she ran away from the sand-cat towards the ship not waiting to see if anyone was following.

Harry had already bolted towards the cargo hold before she even said a word and as he ran, he scooped up Ali and as soon as they were close enough, he pushed the boy inside. Turning, he waited for his mate but the hatchlings were heading their way fast and that wasn't the worst of it.

Inside Harry, the vampire bloodlust was growing and he was hearing the heartbeats of every human and creature on the planet and above them all was Riddick's, strong and fast. There was no fear from his mate as the creatures rushed towards him and the cargo hold. Soon enough everyone had gotten to it except for Riddick and Shazza.

They all watched as Riddick and Shazza ran faster as the screeching from the hatchlings got louder behind them.

Johns tried to pull Harry into the cargo hold as the hatchlings swarmed over the main ship towards the hold, but he wouldn't move an inch, not with his mate out there in danger.

"GET DOWN!" Fry screamed to them, the others shouting the same.

Both Shazza and Riddick dived into the trench the ship had made as the hatchling flow over them; everyone held their breath as all was quiet.

Harry then saw something he wished to never see again in his life. Death had come just like for his papa and Harry knew who it was for, he just didn't know if he should expose himself to the others saving the woman, someone he had become close to since landing on this fucking planet.

He knew she was going to get back up and he could hear the hatchlings circling around to pass over again. He could hear her heart beating faster and faster as what to human ears was distant screeching was much closer than anyone thought.

Then she was up.

And Harry was running towards her.

"HARRY! NO! COME BACK! GET DOWN!" Everyone was shouting as the hatchlings came

back.

"GET DOWN SHAZZA! NOW!" Harry shouted as he skidded to a stop no far in front of her. Shazza stared at him wide eyed but she listened and dropped to the floor in time as the hatchlings flew over her, heading towards Harry.

Riddick let out a roar of rage as everyone screamed and yelled in fear.

Closing his eyes, everything seemed to slow down to a crawl as Harry gathered his vampire power. He could feel it building as it pulsed to the beat of his heart, his ears became pointed and his eyes flashed red, his bound hair seemed to dance in a non-existent wind as he slowly he drew the power towards his throat where it burned the flesh with its power.

Opening his mouth, time flowed normally again.

Taking a deep breath.

He SCREAMED.

The power that had gathered there was released in a terrifying screech that pulsed with power and as it hit the hatchling they began to pop like balloons on a bed of needles. Some tried to fly away while others didn't get the chance.

Then all was silent. All that could be heard was the screeching of the other creatures dying on the ground or crying in pain in the air and the tired breathing of one very weak Harry.

He had made his choice. Be it right or wrong had yet to be seen.

(Harry's Thoughts)

~Riddick's thoughts~

"Talking"

Chapter 13

Slowly, the group rose from there crouch positions, their hands coming down from ringing ears. No one said a word and all were in a state of total shock at what they had just witnessed. None of them had ever seen anything like it in their lives and now with their hearing slowing coming back to them they could hear the screeching of the other creatures there were making their way towards them.

With their minds still ringing from the screech that seemed to echo around there heads, they took in the sight of the one that caused it.

Head clearing from the ringing, Riddick got up from the ground once it seemed that nothing else was coming their way and threw away his now useless bone shiv, the hatchlings had eaten through the very bone in their hunger. It gave him an idea of how dangerous these creatures are.

Dusting his hands off as he made his way towards Harry, who looked like he was going to fall over at any minute, Riddick could see that his mate wasn't going to be able to defend himself anytime soon, not with his eyes as dazed as they were or the way he was swaying in place.

~Going to have words with him later about putting his life on the line like that, if he doesn't want

his backside red, he'd better learn.~ Riddick thought to himself, though the image of Harry with his ass red from a spanking, sent a shiver of lust through him, but it this was no time for him to be playing, he could hear the creatures in the distance making their way to the surface.

Grabbing the back of a frozen Shazza's shirt, he dragged her up and pushed her towards the cargo hold, seeing the woman stumble towards the others he turned and walked towards Harry. He looked his mate over for any injures and, seeing nothing but weakness troubling his mate, he scooped his tired boy into his arms and walked over to the others.

Imam pulled Ali closer as the young lad tried to go to his new friend that was lying limp in Riddick arms and if it wasn't for the rise and fall of the boy's chest, they would have thought him dead.

The group could hear Riddick muttering under his breath as he stepped into the cargo hold as he passed by a still shaken Shazza and allowed Imam to check Harry over. However both he and Fry froze as they heard the sounds of rock crumbling and the shrieks of more creatures in the distance.

Riddick really didn't want to let go of Harry, but he knew the holy man could be trusted with his mate safety for a few minutes, plus he wanted checked out what had nearly killed his mate down in the hole.

He knew it had to have been something bigger and more deadlier than those hatchlings from the wound that had marked his beautiful skin. Placing his goggles on his head Riddick look towards the spires and wasn't disappointed by the overgrown lizards as Harry had called them coming out and taking to the sky.

"What is it Riddick? What is it now?" Fry said. There was fear in her voice as she tried to see what was making the sounds in the growing darkness.

"Like I said, it ain't me you gotta to worry about." Riddick said, watching as more and more of the hammer-headed creatures took to the sky. He could see that many were heading towards them as the giant planet finally covered the last bit of light.

Going inside, Riddick heard Fry close the cargo doors behind him as he made his way into the dark towards where Imam and his son were sitting by Harry.

His mate had his eyes closed, resting against the wall and Riddick could even smell the weakness from his mate. He knew Harry needed more blood and soon but that had to wait until they got to a safer area.

He could also smell the overpowering scent of fear and panic coming off the others as they tried to find more light sources.

He turned his head away to stop himself getting blinded by the light and put his goggles back on as torches were found.

Johns looked at Harry but even he could see the beauty was in no shape to be questioned.

Plus he knew it wasn't time to ask the boy about what the hell he had done and Johns wasn't the only one. All of them could see the boy was not up for talking and by the way Riddick was checking Harry over, big bad wasn't going to let anyone near enough to ask.

Johns couldn't help feeling jealous at how close Riddick was to Harry, but he had to put those emotions on hold for now, there would be time for that later.

"You remember the boneyard? These just might be the fuckers that killed every living thing on this

planet." Johns said, not helping with the fear that everyone was feeling by saying that.

"What are we gotta do now?" Jack asked, getting up from where he had been sitting next to Shazza who was still in shock.

"Are those the only lights we have? Is this everything?" Paris asked panicky, holding tightly to his lighter with a death grip and leaning against the wall far away from Harry.

Looking on the floor Fry answered him. "No. There's a cutting torch here somewhere. I just can't find it..."

Imam left Harry's side when he saw that Riddick would care for him and he knew his son, Ali would shout if something happened to the young man he was beginning to see as a fourth son. Suddenly the creatures outside began to make that strange sound again.

"Quiet please everyone." Imam said as he, his eldest and Jack put their heads against the wall.

"Why they do that? Make that sound?" Jack whispered.

"Perhaps, it's the way they see. With sound reflecting back." Imam explained.

Suddenly there was a sharp scraping noise above them, it sounded like clawed feet run across metal but it was the sound of luggage being knocked over that spooked them the most. One of those things had gotten into the cargo hold.

Riddick picked up Harry and held him close just in case they had to make a run for it. When the smaller male let out a moan in protest from being moved, Riddick quickly silenced him and ran a hand over his back, causing Harry fall quiet again. He knew something was up even though he didn't fully understand what was happening around him.

"Could be a breach in the hull, I don't know." Fry said, knowing everyone had the same question in mind as to what that sound had been.

"Come on, Johns. You got the big gauge." Riddick said, a smirk clearly in his voice. Moving towards the man, he placed the still out of it Harry in Imam's arms as he passed, just in case one of those fuckers did come out to say hello, he didn't want Harry in harm's way.

Plus he wanted to mess with Johns a little, he didn't like how Johns was looking at his mate.

"I'd rather piss glass. Why don't you go fuckin' check?" Johns answered sarcastically.

"I'm not staying here one more second." Paris cried panicking.

"Where you going? Hey!" Johns called out as he and Fry rushed after Paris.

Riddick watched as the coward of the group tried to open the hatch door leading outside. Seeing he others stop him, he paid them no mind.

Riddick stood by Imam, Harry and Ali looking into the darkness were he caught glimpses of the creatures out there.

"You don't know what's out there!"

"I know what's in here." Paris said back and everyone knew he was talking about harry.

Imam, seeing that this was getting them nowhere and that they were in more danger staying in this

part of the ship, moved towards some of the other cargo holds. Riddick watched him for a moment before realising what the man was planning and walked over. He was followed along with the holy man's children and, seeing what he wanted to do, took Harry back into his arms so that Imam could pry one of the shutters open.

Lifting it up, Imam called to the others and urged them through the opening and into the next cargo compartment.

Riddick walked through with Harry and looked around, he could see none of the creatures waiting in the room but it was hard to see with all the luggage and wreckage strewn about, but thanks to his nose, he could smell that some of the fuckers were some inside the room with them and they were close.

They needed to keep moving.

Picking Harry up from the ground, Riddick spotted the cutting torch lying next to his feet and, using his foot in a quick movement, kicked it into the air and grabbed it.

Walking in after the others, Imam closed the shutter after him and Riddick placed Harry down gently. Looking at the others, he snorted as their fear got the better of them, making them jump at moving shadows in the darkness.

He moved silently over to Paris but before he could light the torch on the lighter the guy was holding, one of the creatures stabbed through the thin metal shutter, right by Imam's head, who had been leaning against it catching his breath. The holy man shot forwards into the group while his sons cried out in fear along with the others.

Not wanting him or his mate being so close to the fuckers, Riddick lit the torch, startling Paris, and started to cut through into another compartment. Looking back, he saw Imam pick Harry up and, knowing his mate was in safe hands, he made his way into the next compartment.

Harry slowly became aware of his surroundings and once more he could fell the fear and hunger in the room. He hated this, being so weak his mate or others had to carry him around, if only he could feed from Riddick again, he'd be up and moving.

Harry opened his eyes a little bit and watched as Imam passed him through a hole to Johns and he could feel Jack and Ali by his side; the fear and worry coming off of the two made him want to take them in his arms and keep them safe. He even forgave Jack for his little hero crush on his mate because he really couldn't blame him, his hunter was hot.

And where was his absent hunter? Using his elf senses as his Vampire side was so weak, Harry felt Riddick going deeper into the compartment.

And he wasn't alone.

One of Imam's boys was also there, but… there was something lurking in the darkness and it's presence made him whimper in fear. He could feel the insatiable hunger building, the creatures where inside and very close to the boy and Riddick.

They were hungry.

"It's going to be okay Harry, everything going to be ok." Jack whispered hearing Harry whimper.

"Riddick." Harry whimpered again. His voice was weak and sounded like he hadn't used it in years. Harry tried to move his body but all he felt was pain, making him cry out weakly. He wanted

his mate, wanted his hunter safe. (Riddick please come back! Please! If you die I'm going to drag you back! You hear me!) Harry thought, feeling really scared as his mate was in danger and he could do nothing to help.

"Imam! Something's wrong with Harry." Jack called when Harry whimpered in pain.

"My son you must rest, please keep still." Imam said comfortingly, placing his hand on Harry's sweating forehead.

"Ridd…Riddick….Hass…Hassan…..da…danger..." Harry moaned. His voice could no longer take anymore abuse and gave out, leaving Harry in pain and weak, he needed to feed from his mate and very soon otherwise he will go back into a deep sleep again.

"Hassan?" Imam asked Harry in confusion, looking around he saw said son was no longer standing by his brothers, he was missing. "Hassan? Where is Hassan?"

Harry could smell death coming and knew Hassan's time was up, he could see it in his mind's eye; the boy's fear overwhelmed him and causing him to run, right into the monsters' arms that were waiting in the pitch blackness.

Harry cried out as he felt the boy's pain.

Then nothing.

Feeling Riddick running towards them Harry overcame his pain and opened his eyes.

"RIDDICK! DOWN!" Harry screamed in warning, just in time to stop the others from blinding him with their light.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

"RIDDICK! DOWN!"

Riddick heard Harry's warning and did what his mate told him. Diving to the ground, he was glad he did, he really hated when he got a face full of blinding light. Everyone screamed when the creature appeared behind him. Johns went mad and started shooting randomly into the darkness and everyone held still waiting to see if Johns had hit it.

Shockingly, he actually managed to hit the thing as it fell down dead before them making them all jump.

"Is it alive?" Fry asked as everyone slowly half step towards it.

As they shone lights on it, its skin began to blister and smoke, like it was being cooked over a fire.

"It's like the light is scalding it." Paris stated in shock.

"Fuck me." Shazza stared in shock, this is what took her Zeke, and nearly got her.

"It hurts them, light actually hurts them." Fry said not believing her eyes and they all jumped back in surprise as the creature's hand twitched in reflex.

Suddenly strange noises appeared from the direction Riddick had ran from, it made everyone look towards it, trying to see into the darkness.

"Is that Hassan?" Imam asked loudly. You could hear the pain, sadness and anger in his voice at

the loss of his son.

"We'll burn a candle for him later. Come on. Let's get out of here." Johns said unemotionally, leading the others into the next compartment.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Riddick held Harry to him as everyone sat around the cutting torch. He knew both Fry and Johns where watching them, along with everyone else and he knew that they wanted to know how Harry had saved Shazza.

Though Shazza seemed to care less how Harry had done it, as she sat next to Jack holding the boy close to her side, she was more than grateful.

Beside them, Imam held both of his boys by his side, mourning for their lost family member. Though Riddick could tell Ali, though upset at the loss of his brother, wanted to come over and see if Harry was ok.

"Feed." Harry whispered and Riddick knew what would make his mate better again; sitting Harry up in his lap, he rested his mate's head against his neck. He could feel Harry fangs growing and shivered as they brushed against his neck, right over the mating mark. He felt little pain as Harry bit down deep into the skin, all he felt was pleasure and growled low deep in his chest. He felt himself hardened against Harry bottom and his growl turned more into a purr when the little vixen began to suck on his neck.

"What the fuck!" Fry cried, jumping to her feet as she watched a now purring Harry sucking on Riddick's neck.

"Holy frozen donkey dick!" Jack said in shock and Shazza looked on in shock at the scene she was witnessing.

"Allah!" Imam whispered.

Johns had his gun pointed at them, more at Riddick though then Harry, when he saw a hint of Harry's fangs and he realised what he was looking at.

"A Vampire, a fuckin' vampire." He whispered, though the others heard him clear as day.

"It can't be, Vampires died out about eight hundred years ago. They're only seen in movie vids now." Shazza said in disbelief.

"They did." Riddick growled, feeling Harry licking his neck to close the wound.

"They just missed me." Harry said cheekily. Facing the shocked people around them and licking his blood stained lips, Harry purred at the taste of his hunter, feeling the pain and weakness fade away into nothing.

Riddick knew he was teasing them but it didn't help that he was hard as a rock and Harry was not making it easy for him by squirming around in his lap. Knowing they wouldn't be getting any privacy anytime soon, he settled with spanking that hot ass, making Harry squeak and jump cutely.

"Riddick." Harry whined in outrage and began to rub his now sore bottom.

"That's only the start, wait till I get you alone and your real punishment starts for that stunt you pulled back there." Riddick growled.

The convict then pulled the stuttering Harry against him and claimed those red lips in a passionate kiss.

"Holy shit." Jack said in awe, a blush on his cheeks at the hot sight they made.

"Don't swear." Shazza said, but didn't really mean it as she too was watching hot scene.

Ali and Suleiman were giggling and Imam had a soft smile on his face for he could see the love between the two males and knew Riddick wouldn't hurt the boy he had come to see as a son.

Paris just took off his glasses and cleaned them, but you could see the blush on his cheeks.

Fry and Johns on the other hand had rage in their eyes and a whole lot of jealousy alongside it.

But neither Riddick nor Harry cared.

Sadly their kiss didn't last long for Jack wanted to know something.

"Don't vampires turn to dust in the sun?"

Pulling back, Riddick watched with a smug expression as Harry slowly came out of his daze. Shaking his head to clear it, Harry looked towards Jack and saw all the others wanted to know as well.

Taking a deep breath Harry started his explanation. "The reason I haven't turned into a pile of dust is because I'm only half Vampire, so I'm not affected by the sun but I have their thirst for blood and their power."

"How do you become a half vampire I thought from the stories that you have to be turned?" Shazza asked.

"Well that true and not so true. You see there are those that are born as vampires or have the genes dormant inside them so they don't have to be turned. My birth father had the gene but wasn't a vampire and my mother didn't have that gene so that gave me a 50/50 chance of turning into a full Vampire if my mother had been only a human." Harry said from his seat in Riddick's lap.

"What was your mother?" Imam asked, intrigued by what he was learning.

"She was an Elf."

"What the fuck! There is no such thing as Elves!" Fry shouted in disbelief. She couldn't believe the others were falling for this bullshit, she knew the man was a freak but this was just taking the piss.

"Yes there are, you just haven't seen them. Elves are very good at hiding just like vampires are, or were. Even if you can't see them, doesn't mean they're not around." Harry said glaring at the bitch. He hated that she seemed to fight with everything he said but he didn't let it get to him as he could smell the anger coming off her in waves.

Instead, he turned back to the others and carried on explaining, "Though there might not be any other elves around anymore as I haven't ran across any in my time here, but they may have just left to a new home so there no way to know for sure and as Riddick has told me vampires have died out. But it wouldn't matter anyway as I am a hybrid and both species fear my kind as we have the power of both and not as many weakness as them."

"But what about that screeching thing you did to save Shazza?Why you were pretty much out of it

after?" Jack question as he tried to move closer to the pair but was pulled back by Shazza.

"Well you see because of my vampire side, even if I use my elf powers I still have to drink blood to get my power back and the 'screeching' as you call it was one of my vampire powers. It's where I pull power into my throat and release it in a scream and it sends out a pulse like wave that kills whatever is in its path. But by doing it when I had only just healed from the wounds I had from the hole and in the corning room, my power was still weak and by using it like that, well you saw how I was afterwards." Harry explained leaving out that he was also a wizard; it's always handy to have something up one's sleeve.

"So you're a Hybrid, is there anything else we should know about, Harry?" Johns asked. There was a look in his eye that reminded Harry too much of Voldemort, sending shivers down his spine in dread. Feeling a growl vibrate through the chest behind him and the arms tighten around him, Harry calmed a little at his mates protectiveness.

He knew what was going through Johns mind; if he got off this planet he would use Harry's power for his own gain and from the sound of the growling behind him, Riddick knew it to.

Riddick growled and tightened his arms around his vixen. No way was that fucker touching what was his. ~It's nearing time to ghost the blue-eyed devil. There is nothing on this fuckin planet that will or can take away my mate. ~

Harry didn't really want to tell them about all his powers and that he was a Wizard but he could just tell them about the ones that he would need to use to get the ship. "Well there is a few that I can do such as forming a ball of light and shooting out a small ball of fire but we can't rely on them because if I become stressed or panic that will blink out, I can see in the dark as long as its pitch black and no light hits my eyes or I will be blinded like Riddick only mine will take longer to heal. I can heal minor wounds and of course the screeching but that one I will use as a last resort."

"So your 'powers' as you call them are pretty much useless." Fry said smugly.

Harry let out a small hiss, showing his fangs at the bitch, but he held his tongue. Instead he snuggled back into his hunter's embrace and saw the smugness fall off Fry's face and a glare appear as she watched Riddick nuzzle his hair. (That's right bitch you may think some of my gifts are useless but I have the man you want.)

"But what do we do now?"

That took Fry and Harry out of their staring contest as everyone turned to look at Jack. Harry turned back to watch Fry as he leaned against Riddick. He could see her mind working a plan, she may be a bitch but she was useful to him at this time, though her usefulness was running out.

"So we got one cutting torch. We've got two hand lights, and there's gotta be something we can rip out of the crash ship." she said looking at the others around the room avoiding looking at Harry who was running his hand over Riddick's chest.

"Spirits. Anything over 45 proof burns rather well." Paris said as he fanned himself, even though it was now night, it was still hot and now in this little room with so many people and a flame, it was getting even warmer.

"How many bottles you got?" Fry asked, an idea on how to get them out of this mess forming in her mind. There was no way she was going to die on this planet.

"I don't know. Ten maybe, some more if we add the ones we didn't finish together." Paris said,

thinking about what he had left after everyone and grab a bottle before.

Fry nodded and looked over to Johns "Johns, you've got some flares?"

Johns took his eyes off Harry, who he hadn't stop staring at since finding out he was a hybrid, plots and plans running thought his mind at having such a beauty by his side. Mentally shaking his head he turned to stare at Fry, even though he hadn't been paying too much attention to her, he had heard what she and the others had been saying and started to wonder what the hell she was up to.

Though Harry had a good guess at what she is planning and it would work to but there was one small problem, he could smell Jack bleeding and knew that if he didn't think of something, the hammerheads creatures outside will be onto her as soon as they left their little safe hidey hole.

Tuning back to the conversion going on around him, he was glad that no one had noticed he hadn't been paying attention.

"So maybe we got enough light" Fry said, looking into the light of the blowtorch.

"Enough for fuckin' what?" Johns asked, he really did not like where she was going with this.

"We stick to the plan. We get the four cells back to the skiff. We're off this rock." Fry said strongly, meeting Johns piercing eyes.

"I hate to ruin a beautiful theory with an ugly fact, but that sand cat out there is solar, it won't run at night." Paris said as he got up from his seat and moved to the over side of the room. Harry knew it was to get away from him; the guy had been fidgeting since Harry bite his mate to feed.

"He's right." Shazza said "And I don't know if I could get it to run at night with no power source."

"So we carry the cells." Fry said. "We'll drag them. Whatever it takes."

"You mean tonight with all those things still out there?" Jack said in fear, rocking back and forth before Ali grabbed his hand and held it, smiling when Harry sent him a nod.

"All right. Now how long can this last? A few hours? A day, tops?" John said, looking to Fry and the other his gaze lingering on Harry.

"I had the impression from the model… the two planets were moving as one and there would be a lasting darkness." Imam said staring into the air as he played with his beads; Harry knew the poor man with thinking of his lost son and Harry made a promise right there and then to make sure both Ali and Suleiman made it out alive.

"These suns gotta come up sometime if these creatures are phobic about light, then we just sit tight and let the sun come up." Johns said waiting for the others to agree with him.

Harry knew it would be a sound plan if the darkness last for maybe four or five hours, not days.

(We'd be dead within a day, picked off one by one.) Harry thought but he also knew that it wasn't just the monsters they had to worried about, Riddick had said this fucked up family will rip its self apart. (And by the look of things it's already started.) Watching as the tension grew between the two so-called leaders.

"I'm sure somebody else said that." Fry said stonily, looking right at Johns. "…locked inside that coring room."

"We need to think about everybody, especially the kids. They'll be scared out of their wits in the dark." Johns said, looking to Jack and Ali huddled together beside Shazza and Imam.

"Don't use them like that." Fry said pissed.

"Like what?" Johns asked his rage building.

"As a smokescreen. Deal with your own god damn fear." Fry said having enough this conversation. She was the captain damnit, she knew what was best for all of them.

"Why don't you shut your fuckin mouth for two seconds and let me come up with a plan that doesn't involve mass suicide!" John shouted, glaring at Fry as she brought focus onto his fear.

Harry stood silently from Riddick's lap, knowing his mate would have to get between Fry and Johns soon if the bitch kept pushing the merc's buttons.

"I'm waiting" Fry said smugly.

Johns said nothing, his mind coming up blank on what to do and that pissed him off even more. He was not taking any orders from some power-tripping bitch.

"How much do you weigh Johns?" Fry asked unexpectedly. The other thought that question was random and wondered where she was going with this.

"What's it matter?" Johns asked thinking Fry was taking the piss, or lost her god damn mind.

"How much?" Fry insisted, her voice rising.

"Around 79 kilos, to be exact…" Johns said, humouring her before she cut him off with something that made his blood boil.

"Cos you're 79 kilos of gutless meat, that's why you can't think of a plan." Fry said angrily.

"Is that a fuckin' right" Johns shouted, shooting to his feet, raising his gun at Fry. Harry watched Riddick shoot up in Johns' way.

"Where are you doin?" Johns asked pointing his gun at Riddick's throat.

"This solves nothing" Imam said staring at the two men in disapproval.

Riddick took his goggles off and stared coolly at Johns tapping the tip of his shiv at Johns' groin. They were at a stand-off, both not wanting to back down. Riddick knew this could end two ways, Johns backing down or the walls painted in the fucker's blood.

Now normally, he wouldn't stop the blue-eyed devil from shooting down the bitch but she was Harry's prey and her throat belonged to him.

Out the corner of his eye, Riddick saw Harry making his way towards them.

"Now, now boys, let's play nice shall we." Harry said calmly placing a hand on each of their arms as he came beside them. "We have a plan for now, it maybe not the best." Fry glared at Harry for that. "But it's all we've got and as this darkness isn't going away anytime soon so we need to keep our heads, don't we," looking at both his hunter and Johns he could see them thinking about what he said.

"Now why don't you put the toys away as your scaring the children?" Harry asked.

"Fine" John whispered not taking his eyes off Riddick as he lowered his gun, Riddick stared right back not moving to his place till Johns sat back down.

Fry watched jealously as Harry calmed the two Alpha males, she had felt happiness when Riddick defended her not knowing he didn't do it for the reasons she was thinking.

Seeing the situation defusing as both men parted, shaking his head at how stupid Fry must be to anger a drug-up gun wielding marc, Harry made his way towards the frightened little ones. Sitting between them and pulling them into his side, Harry tried to calm there racing hearts.

"They're afraid of our light" he said looking at the two and letting he eyes fall on Suleiman as well when the boy made his way over to sit beside his brother. "That means we don't have to be afraid of them."

The three children nodded, their fear lessening and Harry smiled before standing up and making his way towards Riddick and standing by him.

"And you are sure you can get us there? Even in the dark?" Imam asked.

"No, I can't." Fry admitted before she looked with jealously to Riddick and Harry standing together.

"But they can."

"Talking"

Chapter 14

Riddick didn't like this, not one fuckin' bit. He could smell the fear coming from the others, even Harry and that just pissed him even more. His Vixen was strong but those things out there were the top predators of this planet and with this fucked up family anything could and would go wrong at any moment. They'd all better pray nothing hurt what was his or there would be hell to pay.

Riddick wrapped his arm around Harry's waist. He pulled him closer and saw the confused look the other shot him out of the corner of his eye. Riddick's face gave nothing away. He would not let his mate know of the worry that was hidden deep inside.

And it was rare that Riddick ever felt worried about anyone , not since going into his first slam. But Harry was very different to anyone he had ever meet. He was his mate and someone that could finally keep up with him.

Riddick mentally shook his head. This was not the time to be deep in thought as they all waited for Fry to open the cargo hull 's doors. The same one they had not too long ago shut behind them in their rush to reach safety.

If it had been just him and Harry, they would have been back at the skiff already but he knew his mate wouldn't leave the kids, Shazza or Imam behind. Not with the bitch and hypo leading and the

wimp wasn't worth mentioning. He wouldn't be around for long, people like him always ran when their fear took over and running was the one thing on this planet that would get you killed.

Hearing the door finally open, Riddick took notice of Fry stepping out the door slowly and holding the cutting touch in front of her for protection.

She looked around carefully before stepping out fully and onto the sand. Seeing and hearing nothing, she looked back and nodded to the others that it was safe to follow.

Imam helped his boys and Jack out of the cargo hull, followed by Shazza and Paris. Shazza quickly moved to Jack's side and grabbed a hold of the boy's arm. It wasn't that long ago that she nearly joined her Zeke in death out here, the prospector took a deep breath. Feeling a hand touch her arm, Shazza turned to see Imam giving her a concerned look and she answered with a small tight lip smile and nodded back to that she was okay.

For now.

Harry watched them from behind Riddick. He knew that Shazza was still in shock from how pale she still was and shouldn't be alone right now. He was happy that Imam was watching out for her because he wouldn't have the time to do it himself.

Not if he wanted to plan a way to conceal some of their scents. He had thought of it back in the cargo hold before leaving. If these creatures didn't have eyes and only used echoes to see, if he could come up with a way to hide their scent it could confuse the beasts long enough for them to be at an advantage if all hell broke loose. But with how low his magic was and having to do such strong magic on Jack he didn't think he would be able to. Not right now.

Sighing he followed Riddick out into the darkness and just as he stepped down he suddenly felt a hand touch his lower back, a touch that was way too close to his bottom.

Moving quickly away from the door, he turned his head slightly and saw Johns coming out of the cargo hull behind him, he hadn't even known the man had been there.

He growled low in his throat. How the man even had the balls to even touch him like that Harry would never know but it was like Johns was suicidal right now. He knew what Harry was now and that Riddick was his mate. You would think that would put any man off touching him.

The raven guessed that Johns simply wasn't thinking with his head. Though who wouldn't at a time like this was insane.

Harry so wanted to turn around and rip the guy's throat out. To watch his blood cover the sandy ground under his feet and hear his panicking cry fill the air.

But sadly now was not the time and Johns was not his prey. No, the bitch was his and the blue- eye d devil was his mate's. He would never undermine his hunter by finishing off his prey.

Hearing the monsters call out in excitement he wondered if they could feel his own bloodlust as much as he could feel theirs. They seemed to dance at the edge of the light, testing their pain as they waiting for the right moment to grab their meal. 'It seemed that attacking Johns now would be a grave mistake and would just result in getting us all killed.' he thought morosely.

Hearing a deeper growl beside him, he turned and saw Riddick sneering as he watched Johns look into the shadows with his gun light. Harry knew under those goggles Riddick was glaring murder at the merc. He had noticed what the fucker had dared to do .

And he was pissed as hell.

No one touched his mate.

"Soon my mate….soon. Just have patience." Harry whispered calmly. Running his hand over his mate's hard chest as he tried to calm Riddick's growling down. Now wasn't the time to end Johns, too many things could go to shit with the other survivors still so trusting of him and the dear captain. That was not going to last long, though. He may have been in a world of pleasure at the time but he remembered what the bitch told Johns in that boneyard and he knew that would come back and bite her in the ass.

Riddick raised a brow as a dark smirk appeared on his Vixen's dark red lips. It seemed his mate was thinking dark wicked thoughts, though his mind ran dark as well. That blue-eyed devil was going to play for touching what was HIS. Riddick wrapped his arm around Harry's waist and resting his hand on his hip he pulled him towards the group.

Just before they were too close Riddick bent down to Harry's ear. "Not soon enough, Vixen, but in this darkness… anything could happen." Riddick whispered darkly.

Harry suppressed a shiver as that hot smoky voice washed over his senses. Shaking his head clear, He elbowed his amused mate in the gut, now was not the time for Riddick to get him all worked up.

Riddick let out a small grunt but did not lose his smirk as he led his mate to the others and placed him next to the kids, then moved smoothly to stand behind him as Johns came up close. His gun pointed out into the darkness searching for monster. There was no chance he was letting Johns guard his mate's back.

Or get another chance to cop a feel.

"Stay close." Fry whispered as everyone made a tight line behind her. Harry stayed where Riddick placed him close to the kids and relaxed slightly as he felt his mate move in closer behind him, he felt safer with Riddick watching his back as he listened to the creatures move in the darkness around them.

"Wait, wait." Fry said holding her hand to stop the others. Walking with the blowtorch towards the crash passenger ship, she waved her light in front of her and when she couldn't see anything she called back.

"Riddick!"

Riddick hated being at her beck and call like a dog to its master, but he did as he was told for now.

'No point making waves this early on for the bitch, but later…we'll see.' Riddick thought darkly as more plans ran through his mind. At the moment nothing was concrete but that was how he liked it.

Turning to his mate he handed Harry one of his spare shivs. Not wanting to leave his mate without a weapon when alone with Johns. Seeing Harry hind the blade under his shirt behind his back he moved away and towards the torn up entrance.

Looking around, he saw there was no movement inside but he could feel that there was something waiting in the darkness. 'All I need is some bait, and I just know who.'

"Looks clear." Riddick said looking back towards Johns as he made his way to the front with his

gun aimed forward. The light on his gun did just what Riddick wanted, it disturbed the hammerhead creature that was nesting inside, making it shoot out screeching at Johns, nearly taking his head off as everyone dived to the ground.

"You said, 'clear.'" Johns accused panting as he looked at the man lying beside him in anger.

"I said, "It looks clear." Riddick shot back.

"What's it look like now?" Johns asked again.

"Looks clear." Riddick said amused.

Harry was really tempted to laugh at the look on Johns' face at those words. His hunter loved to mess with Johns' head though he thought this was more for getting back at him for touching his ass.

Making their way inside Fry started to bark out more orders. Not that Harry listened he still needed a plan to block their scent, even if it was for a short time.

Making his way over to Jack, who was playing with some of the neon lightings they had just pulled down. He turned and saw the others pulling out more neon lights from the ship as well as making a sled for the cells. Everyone was busy and working hard and quickly to get everything done before the lights faded anymore.

Harry felt a hand brush his bottom and tuned to see Riddick and Fry walk past him. Giving a soft smile at his hunter's back he listened to what he was saying.

"I'll be runnin' ten paces ahead. I want the light on my back, not in my eyes." Riddick said to the Bitch behind him. "And check your cuts. These bad boys know our blood now."

Harry was thankful his wounds had healed, he didn't want a target painted on his back for this journey. Looking around he noticed a strange look on Jack's face and took in a deep breath, smelling his overwhelming fear and anxiety.

He knew the boy wasn't hurt and he wasn't this afraid when they left the cargo hold.

Taking another deep breath he started to pick up a scent that was coming from the boy.

The scent of blood.

Looking the kid over he didn't see any injuries and that made Harry confused to where the scent was coming from. That was until it reminded him of something. He had smelt something similar back on Maz's ship, from one of the female crew members. He hadn't understood what the scent had meant having not been around many females after coming into his inheritance.

'What was it that some of the guys had joked about?' Thinking back, Harry tried to remember what had happened that day. He had been sitting with the captain and Jas eating in the mess hall when Kate or Kay something had walked in holding her stomach and made a beeline towards the dessert area.

One of the other crewmen in the hall had jokingly said something though for the life of him he couldn't remember wha n a bowl of ice cream at the man 's head before storming out with another bowl.

One of the crewmen, Jason had said 'You know not to piss her off when she is on her period man,

you suicidal or something?'

'Oh fuck.' Harry thought, finally getting what had been bugging him about Jack's scent all this time. A quick look at where the boys Adam's apple should be confirmed his suspicion, he was a she and she was now bleeding.

' Harry thought in a panic, her scent would draw those creatures to them like a moth to a flame.

He had to come up with a way to block the girl's scent. He had already been thinking of blocking all of their scents to confuse the beasts but this was different. Her scent would only get stronger as time went on.

'If I use my magic to cloak her scent for a time, like a shield, then maybe we could get away with it.' Harry thought. He knew he could only do it a few times before his magic stopped working.

Three or four times at the most, if he was lucky that was, and since landing on this planet he hadn't had much of that. But first, he had to get the girl alone to apply it.

Harry saw the troubled look still on Jack's face and called her over to his side and away from the others. He was happy they were too busy to notice what they were up to.

"This way Jack, I need to talk to you." Harry said as he put an arm around the worried girl's shoulders.

Taking her around a corner Harry looked deep into the scared girl's eyes. "Jack, I know what you've been hiding."

"I don't know what you mean. I haven't been hiding anything." Jack said in a rush.

"Jack, I know you're a girl." Harry said softly and he could see Jack was breaking down when he said that. Her secret was out.

"What! I'm not.." she started to say in a panic, but Harry interrupted her.

"I could smell it the moment we met, Jack. At first, it confused me, but once the scent of blood started coming from you, it didn't take me long to work out what had be en bugging me about your scent." Harry explained to her gently, he could see tears forming in her eyes and slowly slip down her cheeks.

"I..I.." she sobbed.

"Shhh…it's going to be okay." Harry hushed, looking sadly at the child for that was what she was. From the scent she was giving off she was a child just turning into a woman.

"I didn't want anyone to mess with me or…or be left behind." Jack said tears falling down the poor girl's face.

Harry pulled her into his arms and held her as she cried into his shoulder. "Hey, no need to be upset darling. It's understandable that you didn't want anyone to know you're female but I can smell the blood Jack and I won't be the only one, those monsters out there will smell it too."

Jack looked terrified when Harry said that, her fear shooting higher at the possibility of those hammerhead like c reatures smelling her. She would be picked off within minutes of leaving the ship. Harry, seeing how scared the girl was quickly put her fears to rest. "Now don't be scared, Jack. I know of a way to block the scent of blood for a short time, but I can only do this three

times, so they will have to count."

"But how…I thought…you said…" she said confused, her mind couldn't think of any way that would save her from being killed out there, but she listened to what Harry had to say.

"Here's a tip for you darling, don't tell everyone everything you can do." Harry said with a wink, making Jack smile slightly.

"Okay here's what you need to do. Jack, I need you to close your eyes and don't move okay, you're going to feel a strange sensation covering your skin but this is normal. You mustn't move when you feel it okay?" Harry said reassuringly.

Getting a nod from Jake, Harry placed his hand on her head as she closed her eyes and drew his magic into his hand. Harry willed it to place a 'scent barrier' over her skin that would hopefully mask her blood. Trying to put as much magic into it as possible so it lasted a while he slowly panted at the strain. He was sadly still low on wizardry magic and using it as much as he had, even with the help of Riddick's blood hadn't helped to recharge it.

It also didn't help that it seemed to have a mind of its own and only worked when it wanted to as well. It scared him slightly that his magic had changed so much from when he last used it before sleeping. Sadly it wasn't the time to ponder on his magic's actions. For now, he would have to put his questions to the back of his mind till they were safe from this nightmare and he could start researching for answers.

He could feel it slowly move from his hand to Jack and her skin started to glow lightly as the magic moved over her skin, getting stronger as it moved down her body.

The faint bluish glow surrounded Jack entirely before it slowly sank into her skin.

Feeling the spell take hold, Harry let out a sigh of relief as the spell worked and didn't fade, he had worried it would of as she doesn't have any magic herself. 'Note to self research spells that can be used on muggles.' Taking his hand off her head he inhaled deeply to see if he could still smell her blood and smiled happily when he couldn't pick any scent of her blood at all.

Hopefully, it would last for a few hours at best, but with him being as weak as he was he couldn't be sure. If they were lucky it would least a coup le of hours for them to get to the skiff. He could only redo the spell when it is most needed.

"There, that should do it." Harry said simply, watching as Jack opened her eyes and look at her body to see if anything was different.

"That felt weird." Jack commented as she ran her hand over her arm, it had felt like someone running a silk cloth over her skin.

Harry smiled before becoming serious again. "Jack, even with this spell I want you to stay close to sled and if possible Shazza. Can you promise me that?"

Jack nodded her head knowing this was important. "Good girl." He smiled, squeezing her shoulder before gently pushing her in the direction the others were working. Following close behind Harry's thoughts turned to the crazy plan Fry had come up with.

He knew Riddick will lead them through the darkness as best he could, but with this many people there was bound for something to go wrong.

'This night is going to be one hell of a ride.'

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Leaving Jack to help Shazza and seeing the others too busy working to pay him any mind. Harry made his way back to where he had taken Jack knowing that he wouldn't be missed till they set off.

Getting to the spot, Harry closed his eyes and sent a silent wish for his bag to come to him. Reopening them he smiled happily when he saw the bag sitting innocently by his feet. 'Thank you papa.' Harry thought. His papa had been a genius for charming it to come back to him if he ever lost it. He would have lost it long ago and lost all the items and treasures inside, especially with his habit of leaving it behind all the time.

He couldn't even remember what he had done with it this time. The last time he remembered having it was back on the sand cat. His papa luckily knew what he was like and had created it all those years ago before his death.

His papa's death this pained him but knowing Riddick was there for him helped to lessen the hole in his heart, and having bag and all its wonders would always remind Harry that his papa was always with him.

Getting back to the task at hand as he was starting to get teary eyed again. Harry bent down and began searching inside the bag for something he hoped would help them in case the neon lights went out.

He knew he could cast the Incendio spell to help, but with his magic the way it was and not wanting to risk not being able to cast the scent spell for Jack again he had to find another way to get more light. Light spells would have to be used as a last resort and only if the situation called for it and Lumos was too unreliable in a tight spot, like what happened in that blasted hole. 'I still need to pay that bitch back for that.'

Moving his hand around the bottomless bag for something was hard as the bag's magic didn't know what he wanted. Focusing his mind on wanting something to help bring light, he felt something smooth land in his hand. Taking it out, Harry stared at the oval-shaped stone, it was about the size of his palm and its o nyx colouring reminded him of his papa's dark eyes.

Gazing into it, he couldn't help but feel like his papa was watching over him.

All he had to do now was think of some way to place a Lumos Spell or Incendio spell inside of it, easier said than done.

Sitting cross-legged on the hard metal floor, Harry pondered on what to place inside the stone as he set it down in front of him. 'Ok Harry think. You know what you can do and what you can't do. If I can somehow put a fire spell inside the stone maybe that will help fight off this bloody darkness. Hmm…If I combine my light elf magic with a bit of my wizardry magic…it could work but how… papa used to say my vampire magic and elf magic was intertwined in such a way that the light and dark didn't fight against each other. Maybe if I bring my wizard magic out beside my other magic and intertwined them, maybe they will combine and I will able to cast the spell… I won't demolish any wizard magic at the same time.'

Closing his eyes, Harry decided gave it a try. There was only one way to find out if this worked.

Taking a deep breath, he reached deep inside to his core and saw his magic in his mind eye. He tried not to get lost in a daze at the beautiful colours he could see swirling in the centre of his core . He found his elf magic quickly. Its pure whiteness was almost blinding and intertwined with it was

the blackest of blacks which was his vampire power. He could also see his wizard magic flowing freely around both, its colour changing every few seconds.

It was a beautiful sight to see and Harry knew if he wasn't careful, he could become lost in its beauty like many wizards had before him.

Forcing himself to concentrate he drew his elf magic away from the large core. If his eyes had been open he would have seen his hands beginning to glow white.

With it at the surface, he began to pull at his wizardry magic and as it came away from the main core it began to go a little wild like it did not want to come out. As it got further from the core it got weaker, its power faded.

'I really do have to stop using it so much.' Harry thought absentmindedly before getting back to the task at hand.

Now came the hard part, mixing the two magic's together. With intense concentration he started to intertwine them, sweat began dripping down his face. At first, the two powers fought to get away from each other but with some coaxing, they slowly began to combine.

He then focuses on the Incendio spell. He thought that it would be the better choice to be inside the stone instead of the Lumos spell. His breathing became heavier and more sweat slid down his face soaking his shirt as his muscles grew tense as he pushed the combined magic into the stone.

In front of Harry the stone began to glow, a small flame appearing inside of it flickering as if in a strong breeze. A around him like an ink black cloak. he began to pant in exhaustion he pushed more and more power into the flame.

'A little…more, come on... That's IT!' Harry pushed with all his will and the magic entered the stone. What Harry didn't see was a flash of another type of magic helping his along. It made the flame that had been the size of a candle brighten into that of a small fire before it disappeared.

The instant it was gone, Harry was thrown back from the backlash of the power entering the stone.

Lying on the ground Harry tried to catch his breath and prayed that it had worked. Opening his eyes cautiously he noticed the orange glow around him and after sitting up slowly he looked at the now glowing stone. A great smile spread across his face. It had work.

Barely holding in a big shout of excitement, Harry picked up the stone and was surprised that it wasn't hot at all, not even warm.

"Now what have you been up to my Vixen?" Riddick said as he stepped out of the shadows. Riddick took in his mate appearance, hair unbound and messy while his shirt was wet with sweat and sticking to his chest. Riddick could clearly see those lovely pink nipples that made his mouth water with want. His mate looked like had been recently screwed.

Looking up at his mate Harry's smile widened even more as he held up the glowing stone. "This, my lovely Hunter, is going to help us when things go to hell cause we both know something is going to go wrong."

Taking his eyes off of his sexy mate's body, Riddick glanced at the glowing stone in his little mate's hand. Realizing it didn't hurt his eyes, the larger man took a closer look and was shocked by what he saw. There was a small flame inside that created a soft glow around them and lighting the darkness quite well. If they did run into trouble that could be very useful.

Holding his hand out for Harry to take, Riddick pulled his mate into his arms and stared down into the glowing emerald eyes. "Harry, when the shit goes down I want you to make sure to use whatever you have to, to stay alive." Riddick said seriously, the tone of his voice told Harry that his mate was worried about him.

"I will Riddick, I'm going to make it so we both get off of this shit hole."

Wrapping his arms around Riddick's neck, stone in hand. Harry kissed him with so much passion that it set their blood aflame. Riddick tangled one hand into Harry's long hair tightly, holding him in place while his other hand squeezed his butt cheek causing Harry to moan and push himself closer Riddick, rubbing his body against him.

To onlookers the kiss and body language would appear aggressive in nature but to Harry , it was his mate asserting dominance over his submissive. He knew that Riddick feared for him, even if he didn't show it to the world. The beast inside the larger male needed to know that Harry was his before they headed out into the darkness where anything could happen. And with Johns staring at Harry with so much lust the rage inside Riddick needed to be settled for him to keep his head for what's to come and worrying about what the blue-eyed devil would try when his mate wasn't a hundred percent wasn't making it settling anytime soon.

Riddick ripped his mouth from Harry's swollen lips. He used his hold on Harry's hair to move his head aside so he could bite down on the claiming mark and remarking his Vixen all over again. Harry surge d forward with a small cry before he too bit the matching mating mark on Riddick. Riddick's grunt as the pleasure overwhelm ed his senses. The only things on his mind were the feel of his gorgeous submissive rubbing against him like a cat in heat and the taste of that powerful blood rolling over his tongue.

No others blood would ever taste as good as Harry's.

Licking up Harry's blood, Riddick growled at the taste of his mate and felt the rage inside him calm. For now.

Harry let go of the claiming mark as well, kissing it as he watched Riddick's healed over. Panting, Harry laid his head on Riddick's shoulder and breathed in his mate's scent to calm his racing heart, sighing as he felt at peace.

Riddick heard the sigh come from Harry. Hearing his mate's heartbeat slow back to a normal pace, he never thought to this day that he would find someone to love and here he was on a planet where the biggest threat in the darkness wasn't him, about to lead people through it and was the mate to a beautiful vampire/elf.

Unfortunately there time together came to an end as he could make out the others moving around nervously, it sounded like it was time to go. Growling in annoyance, Riddick got back to business.

Playtime could wait for the time being, but one they were off this planet nothing was going to stop him.

Riddick's growling got Harry's attention, causing him look up into his mate's silver eyes.

"I want you to stay at the back of the group. Keep an eye on what's around us and what they're doing behind my back." Riddick said seriously, pissed that their time together was coming to an end.

Harry nodded before asking, "Riddick, how are we all going to fit in the skiff? When I was in there

watching Fry and Johns there were only six seats and maybe one person on the floor but that it."

"Not all of them are going to make it Harry. Johns is not making it off this planet and from the sound of things nor are some of the others." Riddick said. He didn't have to say who else wasn't going to make it. Both knew that the bitch was going to try something to get Harry killed, there was just too much hate for him inside her. Also, Harry had his doubts about Paris making it, but Harry would make sure the man had a quick death if it came to that.

"Not the kids Riddick." Harry whispered, not wanting to lose the last three children that were in their group.

Riddick didn't say anything he didn't have to when his grip on Harry tightened.

"Riddick, I can't let those kids die on this hellish planet." Harry said more strongly, growing tense as he looked into Riddick's eyes. "They are just children and I can't let Imam, who has been kind to me from the start lose another child."

Riddick said nothing for a moment, he could read his mate like a book and he knew Harry would do anything in his power to save those three. Riddick nodded that he understood, he wouldn't stop his mate from saving them but he would keep a closer eye on the situation, his mate came first.

"I passed the girl when I came to find you, I noticed she no longer has a scent." Riddick said, changing the subject, not wanting to upset his mate more with talk of losing the brats.

Harry grinned cleverly, "Just an idea I had my Hunter, I knew that she would be noticed the minute we left so I did something about it."

"And what was that Vvixen?" Riddick asked, curious about what his mate had been up too.

"Magic, of course." Harry said cheekily.

Riddick spanked Harry's toned ass for his cheek, making the raven yelp before giggling.

Going more serious, Harry warned his mate about the spell. "One problem with this spell, Riddick, is that it will only last for a few hours at best and I can only do it two more times."

"We'll have to make them count then Vixen. The shit's going to hit the fan when we're out there," Riddick rumbled. "This group's fear is going to rise and then their going to panic at every little noise. It'd only take one mistake to fuck us over."

Harry nodded. "One mistake…One death." He whispered his tone serious.

"You with me, Vixen?" Riddick smirked.

Harry started to smile as he looked at his strong mate he knew with Riddick by his side they would make it out of here.

"Always, Riddick."

"Let's do this." Riddick smirked this was going to be one wild ride.

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Once back with the others, Harry stepped away from Riddick. His mate was up to something and he decided to leave him to his planning.

Coming to stand with the others of the group, he stood just behind Jack and Ali and was pleased to note that she was holding the little boy's hand. He knew she would watch out for the little one for him.

'I'm going to have my hands full with keeping everyone alive, well not everyone.' Harry thought, looking over at Fry as she made her way back into the ship. Seeing her go up a ladder, he knew she was going to where he could smell Johns, he could smell the sickening scent of drugs and knew the man was taking a hit.

"Are we actually going to do this?" Paris asked as they listened to the sounds the creatures made in the darkness.

"We stay together. We keep the light burning." Harry said, looking at the wimpy man. "That's all we gotta do to live through this thing."

"He's right and with the neon lights, we've got a chance of making it." Shazza said coming to stand beside Harry, "And there is no way I want to be sitting in this hole, waiting to become lunch for those things out there."

"But what if the neon lighting fail?" Paris whimpered out.

"Then we'll use the bottles, have faith, my friend." Imam said calmly , placing a hand on the scared man's shoulder.

Harry really didn't think that this guy was going to make it off the planet, the cloud of fear that surrounded him was strong and Harry had to wonder if those creatures could smell it too.

If they could, they were in for a hell of a night.

"Harry?"

Harry turned back to see Ali looking up at him with worry on his face. Ali said something else but Harry couldn't understand what the little boy was trying to say.

"He asks if you are alright my son, it wasn't that long ago that you fell ill." Imam translated, though he too was worried about Harry.

"Still can't believe you're a vampire, I've only heard stories about them when I was a child." Shazza said. There was a slight awe could be heard in her voice.

"Don't believe everything someone tells you." Harry smiled at her.

"I'm just thankful you're here with us." Shazza said honestly, she knew that if Harry hadn't been here she would be dead already.

Harry blushed deeply. He still wasn't used to people being thankful that he was around, even though it had been so long ago. The words of his relatives still haunted his mind, even if he long forgot what they looked like. Hopefully having Riddick around would make their words follow the same root as their faces and disappear altogether.

Taking his mind off that, Harry looked around at the lights and gear they had all gathered together. It wasn't much but it was enough to get them back to the skiff if they planned it right.

He knew Riddick was going to be in the lead, followed by Johns and Imam who would be dragging the sled. It was funny that Johns had used Riddick to pull their stuff before and now he was the one going to be a sled dog.

'Very fitting for that dirty Merc.' Harry thought.

Harry and the others would be the light around the cells, and Harry was going to make sure that Jack and Ali were the closest to the center of the light. With that plan in mind, Harry and the others waited for Fry and Johns to appear so they could get the hell out of there.

Harry knew Riddick wasn't far, most likely listening in on the two.

He sighed and couldn't help but get a bad feeling about all this.

He just hoped he was wrong, for all their sakes.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Leaving the others at the entrance way, Fry made her way up the ladder that led to the docking control station, looking for Johns.

Seeing him sitting down in the barely lit room playing with one of his shell casing she could tell instantly the man was high again, the silly grin on his face gave it away and with their fight still fresh in her mind, she was incredible wary.

"Are you ready Johns?" Fry said. Avoiding looking at him by looking around the room.

"Hmm."

"Look, we're just wasting light here." She tried again, wanting to get going, the waiting was killing her.

"You give him the cells, the ship, the boy and he's gonna leave you all out there to die." Johns said lazily. "He'll leave all of you."

Fry pushed down the jealous feeling at the thought of Riddick taking Harry with him and not her, not knowing Johns had seen it.

"I don't get it Johns" Fry said making her tone that of a tired captain. Not knowing that even as high as Johns was, she couldn't fool him.

"What is so goddamn valuable in your life that you're worried about losing? Is there anything at all?" Fry said, as she turned away from him. "Besides your next spike?"

Johns wanted to laugh at how she was trying to sound so noble, bitch really didn't get it. Riddick didn't want her; he wanted that nice piece of ass below them.

Johns turned to look at her smugly. "He doesn't want you Fry. He has that nice sweet ass at his beck and call already. One that isn't pure human and can keep up with him. If he had the choice of saving you or Harry, who do you think he's going to pick?" Johns asked smirking, not e ven caring about what she had just said to him. Oh, he wanted Harry, but he wanted to get that bitch back for her like ' how much do you weigh' comment.

He saw her stop a moment before continue on, he knew that if the bitch had it her way the pretty boy wouldn't be making of the planet either.

"Talking"

Chapter 15

Harry jogged at the back of the group while his eyes followed the shadows of the hammer-headed creatures that dared to move around the edges of the light before hissing and backing away in pain for being too close. Them being so close by put him right on edge, he still felt the fear from before when he was down that hole and had been nearly killed by them. It had been a long time since something had scared him so much and those creatures terrified him. It also didn't help that he could feel their emotions as well their hunger. If it hadn't been for Riddick feeding him, he would have drained half of the group dry because of the bloodlust.

He never wanted to feel terror like that again or be so weak against a threat.

Taking a deep calming breath, he forced his fear to the back of his mind once more and focused on something else. His magic and how it was acting strangely came to mind. It had never been so wild and unreliable before, not even when he was learning his vampire and elf powers, which he found to be a bit lacking as well. He had better control as a child than he did now and it was starting to scare him. 'I wish I had time to go to my library to research what is happening to me. If I had my magic acting normal, my mate and the others would be hell of a lot safer and already off this hellhole planet.' Harry thought as he ran his eyes over the group. His gaze fell on Fry who was walking beside Johns. 'Well not all of them are worth saving.'

Both were on borrowed time and he was looking forward to seeing them in pain for the grief they had caused him and his mate. Feeling his eyes glow and fangs wanting to burst forth, he quickly turned away from them. Now wasn't the time for his vampire side to come out in a blood rage. They would be able to play soon enough, he just had to wait.

Instead, he turned looked at the children of the group. They stuck close to the sled with the neon lights wrap tightly around them and looked around fearfully. The scent of fear was also heavy

around them and every time a creature screeched their fear spiked but he was proud they weren't letting it slow them down or causing them to panic and doing something rash.

Hearing a quiet hiss from behind him, Harry was quick to turn and raised his light to ward the creature off. It screeched and darted away from the burning pain. He wished he could use his vampire sight but there was so much light around and he didn't feel like being blinded at the moment. Plus he got the feeling that he would have to use it soon enough. He could smell the fear growing as they made their way further away from the crashed ship and that meant anything could happen.

"Stay close" Fry called out to the group. She turned to look at them to make sure they did as she ordered, with tensions high she didn't want her leadership to be questioned now not when she needed to be seen as important and protected. She wasn't going to die here. Spotting movement from the back she saw Harry's head snap to the shadows on their left and knew he'd seen something she couldn't and it made her very nervous about what was waiting there.

She may hate that freak and had a very dark wish for him to drop dead but for now, he was more useful alive.

"Screech!"

They all cringed and picked up their pace. As she turned to face forward once more, she realized that the sound had come from where Harry had been looking. She rudely admitted out here in the darkness he was needed. But at some point, his usefulness wouldn't be needed anymore. She knew that things were going too well for them and sooner or later something was going to happen and the back of the group was going to be the most dangerous place to be.

Her eyes fell on Riddick's back, the small light he had on for them to follow making it easier for her to see those strong muscles move as he jogged, the tight black tank top outlining them so perfectly that her breath caught in the back of her throat at the sight. The man was pure sex on legs and no matter what Johns said or claimed about him leaving them, she knew in her heart that Riddick would get them to the safety of the skiff and off this shithole of a planet. Maybe once they were on the skiff he would want something more pleasing to take up the long hours of waiting for help to come. She shivered in pleasure at the thought.

In her delusional mind, she didn't realize or pick up on that Riddick would sooner gut her and leave her ass in the cold than touch her. She didn't think on what had been said in the crashed ship about Riddick being Harry's mate or how they were together now. If she had been in her right mind she would have been scared shitless at having hurt what was Riddick's and had tried to kill Harry once already. But again Fry was living in a dream world. She believed that Riddick wanted her. She was beautiful, smart and perfect for him. Being in a slam for so long, he must want the touch and attention of a woman by now. Plus she was the captain that will fly him off this rock, never mind that she was only the captain as the other crew members were dead. She had convinced herself that he did need her as a pilot as well truly forgetting that Johns had told her he could and had manned a skiff himself.

Her mind was breaking in the darkness, so much so she even ignored the closeness of Riddick and Harry now. Instead it was replaced by something only she could see. After all, he had been so close to her in the skiff, she remembers him smelling her hair and breathing in her scent. She regretted now not stepping back into his arms in that moment. She wished with all her dark heart she had. So many things would be different and easier for her if she had.

If anyone had been looking into Fry's eyes they would have seen the insane look that had taken over them. Her mind was truly broken under the presser of being on this planet and the guilt she

still held inside over causing the deaths of her crew and passengers. The monsters that shouldn't be real bar from stories you told kids to keep them in bed and the endless darkness around them seems to have snapped the woman's mind. The group of survivors were lucky Riddick was leading them and not her or they would be already dead.

In the back, Harry caught the scent of lust mingling with fear. He easily worked out the direction it was coming.

His eyes landed on the bitch ahead of him, seeing the way her head was slightly tilted and he gritted his teeth as he knew who she was ogling. 'Not only do I have to put up with her ogling my Hunter's ass and I can't do anything about it now I have to put up with her disgusting scent.' Harry growled inside his mind both sides of him raging at being kept from killing their prey. He was so on edge already, what with the hammer-headed creatures dogging their steps he didn't need this bitch trying to push him to the boiling point right now.

The woman seemed to not get the hint or was just blind to the fact that she was never going to get with his mate.

'I wonder if this happened to Riddick every time he meets single women or men, or Fry is just blind to the males around her and that they wanted nothing to do with her.' Harry thought, looking at her.

He guessed the latter.

Harry sighed through his nose and tried to calm down. He didn't know if Fry had been always like this or if this was new, maybe caused by the crash but it was making it hard not to go into a full-on blood rage and rip her gut out. How she hadn't got a clue that none of the males in the group wanted her bloody ass he didn't know, even the drug up merc didn't want her for crying out loud.

Hopefully, he'll be able to let out his rage and pay her back soon enough, he hadn't forgotten the fear he felt down in that hole. Trapped like a lamb waiting to be taken to the slaughterhouse.

Harry took another calming breath. He could feel his eyes and fangs trying to come forth and now wasn't the time to let his anger get the better of him, his papa made sure he had more control than that.

Taking his mind off Fry as she had taken up his thoughts too much already, he looked around at the others in the group to see if they were doing okay with the faster pace. He saw Imam pulling as hard as he could with the sled alongside Johns and Harry was happy to see Suleiman was holding a light over Imam at the same time keeping his brother close to his side. It had been agreed back at the cargo-hold that Ali was to be beside someone at all times, it was too dangerous for the youngest of their group to be alone at any moment.

Shazza was on the other side of the sled by Johns bottle touch over them both. Though from the look on her face said she wanted to as far from the merc as possible. He was glad he wasn't picking up on the depression scent that had been clinging to her since losing Zeke, though her fear was high maybe more so than the kids. That didn't surprise him not after the poor woman was nearly getting caught by the hatchlings. It wouldn't surprise him if she was still slightly in shock. Harry couldn't blame her, he was still wasn't over the hole himself and being out here wasn't helping either of them. He just wished he could lessen her fear.

Turning from her, Harry looked out the corner of his eye to see how the cowardly man beside him was holding up. Not good by the look on the man's face.

He didn't like being stuck at the back of the group with Paris but both he and Riddick thought it was for the best, both of them didn't trust Paris to keep calm enough if anything where to go wrong plus Harry could cover his mates back and keep an eye on everyone at the same time.

Paris was already panting with exhaustion and Harry can't help being disappointed in the man as they had only been jogging for a short time, maybe a few miles if that. If he picked up the pace like he wanted to Paris would be behind him instead of the beside him.

Sighing, Harry checks one last time to make sure Paris was keeping up before turning back to watching the shadows.

0-0-0-0-0-0

A few hours later things started to go from bad to worse.

Paris was now panting heavily beside him and was sweating so much Harry had taken a step away from him to get away from the smell.

Imam and Johns seem to be coping better than the coward even under the weight of the cells but Harry knew that their strength couldn't keep up with this pace forever. Both men were sweating slightly and out of breath under the strain.

Worried at how tired the group was becoming, Harry looked over to Shazza to see she was still keeping pace well, though she too was panting. Not as hard as the men and Harry knew this was because she was hardworking and was used to working for hours on end without breaks so jogging few a hours wasn't a strain on her body. He notices Suleiman and Ali had moved to run beside her as her light dead off. Leaving Jack to cover Imam, Harry couldn't help worrying about the kids. They were slowing down and if it came to a point where they had to really move fast they wouldn't be able to.

He liked these people...Well, minus two of them and more pity towards the coward.

Looking forward to his mate's back his thoughts turned to 'what ifs' if the ward's around his tomb hadn't fallen, if Captain Maz along with Jas and the crew hadn't come and found him, if Fate hadn't led him to buy a ticket for the transport ship Hunter-Gratzner and into the arms of his mate. Someone he had lost all hope of ever finding.

The crash had been the best thing that had ever happened to him, if not for that he would never have crossed paths with any of these interesting people. But fate brought them all together on this hell planet, intertwining their lives and deaths.

Even though he, himself was older than any of them, Harry had come to see them all 'well some.' as part of his family. Imam a man with more wisdom and patience than the rest of them, a kindness that reminded him so much of his dad Remus. It was both a blessing and a curse to him for being reminded of his dad so much but it did fill his heart with joy that in a way his dad's spirit lived on in others.

Then there was Shazza, who reminded him of himself. So Strong and hard-working, even though she lost her lover and nearly her own life, she still pushed on. She had a fighting spirit in her that would break free sooner or later. When it did she would be a true lioness, worthy of Gryffindor.

The kids in the group pulled at something deep inside him, he had always wanted children but he had given up all hope as time had gone on and there was no sign of his mate in those years. So instead he had opened the first magical orphanage in the magical world so nothing like Tom Riddle

ever happened again and he became a favourite uncle and watched many grow into fine Witches, Wizards, and magical beings. And he now had three new kids to look after and he would do everything in his power to make sure they left this planet safely.

Harry shook his head to clear it, twice now he has gotten lost in thought and with how tired everyone was becoming something was bound to happen sooner or later.

And how right he was as the shit hit the fan not an hour later as Paris' blowtorch started to stutterer and died as the fuel inside ran empty. Paris stared at it wide-eyed and panic started to climb inside his chest, his mind went blank with fear.

The torch died and placed the both of them in the shadows.

Harry nearly sneered as the scent of fear around the man skyrocketed and the noises of excitement came from the creatures grew.

They sensed the fear.

The sounds were so loud everyone pause to look at them, their eyes trying to catch sight of the monsters in the dark.

"Stay close," Imam said looking back to Harry and Paris in concern.

Though if he were honest with himself, he was talking more to Pairs as he knew Harry could look after himself. With those words, the others starting walking again and both he and Johns started pulling the slide again.

Harry's eyes shoot to Pairs as he left his side and went to the slide, he quickly bent down and grabbed a light. But in his panic, he fumbled and knocked one of the flares out, it fell to the ground and rolled away because of the uneven ground.

It finally came to a stop in the shadows barely seen in the faint light.

Pairs sew what he had done but there was no way he was going after it and risking his neck.

Jack who had seen what he had done and wasn't has put off by the danger, started taking off her neon lights and went after it. "Wait."

"Jack! NO!" Harry shouted fear, his hand out reaching for the girl. The scent of blood permeated the air as the spell he had placed on her wore off it at that moment. It no longer masked her from the monsters and they instantly focused on her.

Harry started taking off the tubing to reach her before it was too late. Sadly, he wasn't fast enough and all he could do was watch helplessly as she kneeled on the ground her back to the light and reached for the flare. What she didn't see was the hammerhead lock on to her from the air and that swooped down with great speed towards her.

Imam did and tore off the sleds ropes and raced towards Jack, knocking them to the side and back into the light causing the creature to screech in frustration as it flew back into the darkness away from the pain of the light.

Shazza shoot forwards to Ali and Suleiman, pulling them to her side and making them crouch down. She protected the boys to the best of her ability as Johns started firing his gun aimlessly around them. If she wasn't so concerned over her safety as well as the boys she would be screaming at the idiot to stop firing so recklessly.

Johns' heart raced as he fired again and again, he knew the suckers were around them and at least one of his shots would hit its mark and down one of the bastards. He turned sharply at a screech behind him and as his finger tightens on the trigger he realized it wasn't a monster behind him but a terrified Fry staring at him wide-eyed. In those second he thought about if he could get away with letting his finger continue on its journey and ghost her right here and now. By the look in her eye, she knew it too.

But this wasn't the time or the place to deal with her so he turned away as she crouched the ground in fear and fired again into the darkness.

Harry watched all of this crouched low to the ground, He would have felt cheated if Johns had fired that shot, Fry's life belong to him, not the drugged up merc.

A screech from above brought him out of his thoughts and he turned to see one of the hammerheads swoop down and spook Paris, knocking the man to the ground before the light drove it off back into the darkness.

And it was in that moment Harry felt something he hadn't felt in years.

Death had come again.

Pulling the tubing lights off, he made sure his bag was strapped on tight before rolling into the darkness. Harry closed his eyes and willed his eyes to change into his vampire site. Opening them his blood-red gaze allowed him to see everything in darkness, while in the light he could make out nothing, it was just a blind spot.

Turning to his mate who comes to join him in the darkness, Harry ran his eyes over his form to make sure he was okay. He watched him crouch beside him with his shiv in hand and silver eyes locked on the fleeing Paris as the man began to crawl quickly away from the others. Harry stood and followed through the shadows, knowing what was about to happen.

"This can't be happening to me. This isn't real, I must be dreaming. Wake up wake up!" Paris muttered under his breath, over and over again. Panic and fear clouded his mind as he got further and further from the group, his ears deaf to the groups cries to come back.

"Paris. Get back here! Stop!" Fry screamed, not in fear for the man's life but in fear of her own. In his panic Paris had forgotten he was still wearing the neon lights around him and was slowly pulling the generator off the sled.

Paris heard none of it and kept on going till he dragged the generator right off the sled, causing it to slam into the ground, breaking it apart.

The generator stuttered and hissed before its power died making the neon light around the survivors to fade, plunging them into blackness.

Paris finally stopped crawling when he realized he was no longer in the light. His panicked mind span as he slowly looked around from his position. His eyes trying to adapt to see through the darkness.

The flapping of wings came behind him and before he could turn he felt something slashes across his back, he barely felt any pain as he had become numb, his brain overwhelmed by everything. The dead neon tubing fell from his body to the ground as he rose up onto his knees and reached around to touch his back. He felt a strange wetness and pulled his hand in front of him in the darkness his eyes made up a dark stain on his hand but couldn't see much else. Pulling his lighter

out with his other shaky hand from his trousers he flicked it on and stared at his hand in disbelief. His brain not catching on to the pain as his nerves had been cut.

"I was supposed to die in France. I never even saw France." Paris whispered brokenly looking around him. "I never saw France."

Taking a drink from his flask he spat the alcohol back out over his flickering lighter, the flame burst out revealing Harry standing in front of him and around them both were hammerhead creatures growling with hunger.

Paris stared wide eyes at the young man, whose eyes were red as blood and seem to stare into his soul. His mind couldn't understand why or how the creatures weren't attacking him, why he was standing there.

His question was answered when one of the creatures clawed at Harry but was blocked by a bluish dome that simmered around the lad.

"How..." Paris coughed out, blood on his lips as the light faded around them.

"Goodnight Paris," Harry said sadly instead as he raised his arm till his palm faced Paris. "Sweet dreams. Avada Kedavra."

A green light flashed from Harry's hand and Paris knew no more. Paris was wrapped into the arms of death, his spirit carried away into the afterlife.

His dead empty eyes stared up at the starry sky as his body fell onto the sandy ground. The hungry hammerheads were quick to tear into the dead body, they tore into the cooling flash with gluttony, fighting each other to get even a small piece.

Harry didn't stay for the feeding frenzy, his light protection spell was fading fast and feeling death again had drained him mentally. He turned and walked not three steps before crashing right into Riddick's chest who had been following him. Riddick was quick to wrap an arm around him and lead his mate away.

Harry shut his eyes and let them fade back into green. Now blind in the darkness Harry had no worries as he knew Riddick would look after him.

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Shazza moved quickly to light one of the flares so they were protected by some light once more and took some bottles out and lit them, bringing more light around them.

Imam seeing what she was doing moved to grab another flare and used that to look over his sons and Jack for any injuries thankful to find none.

"Well, it's good to see you're okay."John's said sarcastically, watching Riddick walk by him alone, into the flares soft glow, his goggles back on.

Riddick just smirked at John's before looking back to where he could see some creatures fighting each other over the body and others tearing it apart.

"Do I even want to know?" Fry asked hearing the sounds of the tearing flesh. The sound was causing her stomach to turn and making it quite hard for her not to imagine what was going on in the darkness.

"Harry?" Ali asked holding Jack's hands and looking at the big man he knew Harry liked.

"Yeah, where is Harry?" Jack asked alongside little boy in worry.

"Harry!? Harry my son where are you?" Imam shouted in concern. Inside he was praying that he hasn't lost the young man he has come to see as another son in this nightmare.

Before anyone else could panic, Harry walked briskly back into the light panting slightly and with a slight sweat on his brow. He said. "Right here Imam, I'm fine. What about all of you? Are you all okay?"

Before anyone could answer Fry butted in angrily. "Where the hell did you disappear to?!"

She tried to hide the slight disappointment that she felt that seeing the Freak alive still.

"Around Fry," Harry says looking deeply into those hateful blue eyes that were

glaring at him. "Around."

Before she could yell anymore Shazza spoke up. "I'm glad you're okay Harry, we can't lose any more of us out here."

She was breathing slightly heavy but the fear she felt moments ago was fading away though the adrenalin rush wasn't and she didn't think it would anytime soon. Not with the neon lights gone and them having so far to go with only bottles lighting the way. She will most likely never understand why Paris had essentially killed himself by running away from them but she hadn't understood the coward since they met. 'Poor bastard.' Shazza thought offhandedly.

"Thanks, Shazza," Harry said smiling at her. "I think we should take a breather before moving on, get our strength back."

"We don't have enough light to stop tucking now, the bottles will only last so long. Stopping now is just a waste of time." Fry scorned him like he was a child. "We have to push on!"

"Fry look around you," Harry growled waving his arm over the group to point out their tired and worn state to her. "We're tired! If we don't rest for ten fucking minutes there will be more mistakes and more fucking death! I am not letting those bastards eat anyone else just because you want to push on and be the bloody leader. We are resting before something else happens, got that!?"

Everyone was silent for a moment after Harry's outburst, only the sound of the creatures could be heard.

"But...but what about light, we don't have enough." Jack said in distress, breaking the tension between Harry and Fry.

Harry let out a frustrated sigh and raised his hand to eye level before holding said hand out in front of him, palm up.

"Lumos." He shouted and his magic answered his call. It rose up from his core and in the palm of his hand, a glowing light appeared floating just above it. The group gasped but Harry paid it little mind as he feeds magic into the light making it slowly grow in his palm. First, it was like a nightlight just giving off a soft glow that would barely light a room, but it didn't stay that way for long before growing to the size of a football and having the power of a searchlight. Happy with its size and the light it produced Harry lifted his hand into the air and let the glowing ball go. It slowly rose above them all until it came to a stop above their head surrounding them in its warm light.

There were screeches of rage from the creatures as they were forced to back further away from their meal and quickly backed into the darkness as the light burned their hide.

Harry was thankful he didn't have to hold the spell-like he did as a child, it had taken years and the help of his papa but he learned wandless magic to a master's level. Though with how his magic had been acting his mastery didn't matter he was just happy it worked and he didn't need his wand out. He didn't want Fry or John's knowing about them, the items were personal to him, he still hadn't had the chance to show Riddick and tell him the story behind them yet. 'soon as we're out of this place I will tell Riddick my life story or better yet show him.' Harry thought remembering he had everything he owned in his bag including a Pensieve.

Looking away from the glowing orb, he saw the expressions on the group's faces. Some looked on in awe and shock as they haven't seen him perform any type of magic since finding out he wasn't human.

Smiling, Harry nearly laughed at Fry's dumbfounded expression. Turning from her he looks towards his mate and blushed at the heated look in those silver orbs. He was glad his magic light would never hurt his mate's sliver orbs because he would miss seeing those gorgeous eyes that sent shivers down his spine.

Giving himself a mental stake to clear his thoughts he turned back to the rest of the group and said. "Pass the bottles here, we don't want to waste the fuel till we're off."

"That is so fucking cool." Jack said in awe, eyes glued to the glowing ball. Suleiman who had moved to stand beside him nodded as he smiled, hope and peace filled him as he bathed in the warm glow. He sat on the ground and his brother and Jack followed his lead, for the first time since night had fallen they rested and got some much-needed energy back.

Imam nodded at Jack's words, smiling happily as the children settled down and calmed from the fight they had experienced. He watched as Shazza joined them on the ground and rested. Her tired body finally getting the rest it had been begging for.

Taking the bottles they had already lit, Imam walked over to where Harry was waiting. Handing them over he said. "Here my son and thank you."

Looking confused at him as he took the bottles Harry asked. "Thank me? There's no need for thanks, Imam, I didn't do anything."

"You have placed smiles on the children's faces, my son and in times like these, where we are going to face much in the darkness, there needs to be some happiness to get us through. Even if it's only for a short time." Imam said with an air of wisdom.

Harry's cheeks became flushed at Imam's kind words. All he did was bring some light over them, nothing truly special. In his heart, he wishes he could do more.

Calming down his blushing cheeks, though hard with Riddick staring intensely not far from him,he leaned forward and gently blow on the light flame. They watched as the flame extinguished before their very eyes. Shock ran through some, having no idea that he could do such a thing though with some of the things they had witnessed him do already this was very mild in comparison.

Fear raced through Fry, she knew that the freak was strange but now he was holding out on telling them his powers. If he had hidden useful ability to make light what else was he hiding. Covering the fear she felt with anger though not knowing that both Riddick and Harry could still smell it as well as hear her racing heart. She shouted. "What the hell was that shit!"

"That my dear Fry was me blowing out a candle," Harry said amused by the rage felled look on her face

"You said nothing of any of this back at the ship!" Fry yelled accusingly. "Suddenly there's a light in the sky protecting us and extinguish those torches like it's nothing it makes me think of what else you are hiding from us that could save us from this."

"Nothing Fry." Harry said smiling at her like butter wouldn't in his mouth. "Blowing out a flame is something children learn, not much use out here clearly."

Harry waves his hand towards the glowing ball. "And that is also of no use as it stays in one spot and as we are on the move what use is it?"

He said this slowly like he was talking to a child making. Fry hissed under her breath as she gritted her teeth at his patronizing tone. She was no child and to be mocked so openly filled her with such anger that took everything in her to not lash out. It didn't help that some of the group were smiling at the Freak like the sun shone out of his arse.

Before she could unleash her hate and anger at Harry, Riddick appeared, stepping out into the light with his goggles on and his arms crossed over his chest interrupting her train of thought as they all turned to him.

Johns became uneasy at how Riddick had moved through the shadows so easily and silently. He had been too distracted by Fry and Harry's argument. He wouldn't let that happen again, it wasn't good for one's health in not knowing where the Big Bad was. Especially his.

"Better rest up while you can." He said seriously his head fixed on Fry. "Don't want any more mistakes, do we?"

Harry smiled at his mate before nodding, Riddick was right to interrupt them. It wasn't the time for pissing contests when there was so little time for them to rest and gather their energy and strength before they faced the next challenge. Harry knew there was going to be more for them to face before this nightmare was over.

Fry's mouth set in a grimace as she stormed away to sit away from the others. She needed to think without them getting in the way.

She hated that everyone in this shit ass group took that monster's side in everything. He wasn't even fully human and they looked at him like he was the saviour. Even Johns had fallen for the freak's innocent looks but he wasn't fooling her. That monster was a killer, after all, every single one of them had heard the stories of vampires in the past and what was going to stop him from draining them dry?

How could they pick him over her? She was the captain, she was in charge and that freaky little boy wasn't going to undermine her authority again. She needed a plan because that freak wasn't leaving this planet alive.

Unaware of the dark thoughts of his demise swimming through Fry's mind Harry carried on blowing the other bottles out, the flare he left alone as it was nearly run out anyways.

'Fry and her constant need to be in charge wasted ten minutes of light we might need.' Harry thought pissed that she wasted fuel they desperately needed to keep them alive by that foolish argument with him.

That done, he set them by the sled before walking to the lights very edge and sitting down on the

hard ground. He leans back on his hands with his eyes falling shut and taking in a deep breath of the night air. Relaxing as much as he could with the tension in the group and monster trying to eat them. Opening his eyes he looked into the starless sky and let his thoughts wander.

He noticed since the suns had set everyone breathing had become easier. They even left their O2 tanks behind as they weren't so breathless anymore and they couldn't carry any more weight.

'We've must have been here so long that they have adapted to the low oxygen.' Harry thought. This was a good thing as they still had a long way to go before getting to the safety of the skiff.

Hearing footsteps heading towards him, he opened his eyes that fall in the shut again to see who it was. Silently praying it wasn't Fry back for round two. Turning his head slightly he spotted the second person he didn't want around him coming towards him. 'Now what does he want?' Harry thought as he watched the blue-eyed devil stop the beside him

"Something I can do for you Johns," Harry asked as said man crouch down beside him with a look on his face that set Harry on edge. He made sure none of his unease showed, he had learned quickly that you didn't want this man knowing how unnerved you were.

"I get the feeling you have a lot more tricks up your sleeve than you're letting on Harry." Johns said unconcernedly as he smirked at him. Johns had plans forming in his mind and all of them involved this bewitching being.

"And why do you say that Johns? After all I'm open book." Harry teased a half smile on his lips. Inside he was feeling a slight panic that rose up, he knew Johns didn't know his secret of being a wizard but that didn't stop his insides twisting up.

Harry could see that Johns had slowly been losing it since the darkness had enclosed around them, the man was becoming more and more dangerous as time passed. If he ever got a hint of what he was hiding, he would want him even more and that would place the others in danger. Men like him would do anything to have power. Everything would go to hell in a heartbeat and Harry couldn't let this man know any more about him.

"Instinct," Johns smirked at the beauty, his mind conjuring up images of what he wanted to really do to the raven haired man. "I didn't catch Big Bad over there without them and my guts screaming at me that you're a lot stronger then you let others see. Under those pretty looks lies some deep dark secrets."

"Well, I am a vampire/elf hybrid, Johns. I have to be stronger to still be standing here, don't you think? And everyone one has secrets I just have a few more than others." Harry said cheekily. Inside though he was fearing where Johns was going with this the conversation. Out the corner of his eye, he saw Riddick watching them intensely, he could feel these silver orbs that were hidden under those goggles burning into their flesh. He was surprised Johns hadn't notice. 'Some Bounty Hunter.'

"When we get off this planet I want you to work with me, Harry," Johns said out of the blue. "More like partners, you'll be famous in no time and roll in the creds."

"What!?" Harry was shocked, eyes wide. Just barely managing to keep his voice down.

"Just think about it, Harry. If you're with Big Bad over there once we leave you'll be running for the rest of your life, never stopping, never resting and never safe. When he lands himself back in the slam and we both know he will, I would hate for such a fate to fall on someone like you, after all you are a beautiful guy, Harry. A lot could happen in there and Riddick won't be able to protect

you from it." Johns said with a touch of concern in his voice, utterly bullshit of course. He just wanted Harry to stop following Big Bad around thinking the man was going to look after him. All that power was going to be his. He watched Harry's wide emerald eyes throughout his little speech.

Harry was horrified to the core. He never thought Johns would have the balls to approach him like this, it was like the man was living in a fantasy world. One fucked up world where he thought he would leave Riddick for his ass and become a bounty hunter.

He was no fool. Harry knew what sick game Johns was playing, the man thought he had it all planned out where he would become his lover/weapon and they lived happily ever after with him being the slave.

The strong scent of lust in the air was making Harry nauseous and he was already feeling sick from Johns speech. Opening his mouth to give the bastard hell, Harry was interrupted when Johns held up his hand.

"Think about it, you and I could be the greatest bounty hunters in the universe. Plus you would have an endless supply of blood at your fingertips." Johns said smirking. "Give me your answer later once we're off this rock."

With those parting words, Johns patted him on the knee before getting up and moving away.

That one touch made Harry fell so dirty and in need of a long hot shower. It was like the man had gone and left an oil stain on his trousers that would never wash out. I'm going to have to burn these now. I thankfully have a lot of pairs in my bag and these weren't my favourite.' Harry thought. He just had to find the time to go through his bag. 'At least Draco made sure I developed a fashion scene.'

Harry was brought out of his thoughts by a movement to the side of him once again, this time it was his most favourite person.

Riddick's legs ate up the distance between them in a matter of moments and Harry could practically see the rage rolling off his mate as he crouched down next to him. Harry knew who that rage was directed at and from the level of it he was surprised the fucker wasn't' six feet under already. Riddick had more self-control then he did.

Riddick placed his hand on the spot Johns had touch. The sign of possessiveness was clear to anyone who looked at that moment and it made Harry feel safe and cared for. He hadn't needed to worry about Johns plans for him. Not with his Hunter around.

"I take you heard all that nonsense my Hunter," Harry asked voice low to not carry the others nearby.

"The fucker was already on thin ice before. Now he's pushed things over the edge." Riddick growl out, rage clearly heard in his voice. The image of Johns standing on a sheet of ice over an abyss and it was cracking in a spider web under his feet flared up in the male's mind. 'I just have to put a little more pressure on it.' The animal inside purred at the thought ghosting the fucker.

"Too true, Riddick. It seems Johns has finally gone off the deep-end, I mean thinking I would ever walk away from you when I had just found you after all this time." Harry huffed annoyed. "It's like he didn't hear anything I said about us being mates back at the ship. Though the same could be said about another of our little group."

"He's right in one thing," Riddick said though he thought he would be sick for just saying that out

loud.

"Johns being bloody right? Riddick wash your mouth out for even thinking such a terrible things, let alone saying it." Harry said looking at his mate like he had gone mad.

Riddick's mouth twitched in amusement at the expression on his vixen's face, he would never tire of watching the different expression his Harry had. He may fool the others but Riddick could read him like a book. His face became serious once more, he needed to know that Harry understood what he was getting into being with him.

"If you're with me once we leave here, you will never stop running. There will always be someone after the huge payload on my head. They'll be dogging our steps giving us no peace." Riddick said seriously. His face set in a stony expression as he hid the emotions racing through him as he waits for his answer.

"Riddick I have been running longer then I care to think about, be it from Voldemort wanting to kill me or the Wizard World wanting me for something from saving from the latest Dark Lord to wanting my backing on another half-baked idea. Just know no matter what happens I will never run from you. Only to you." Harry whispered sincerely his emerald eyes shining with intense love for his Hunter.

Riddick never felt so many emotions in his entire life. He had felt rage and lust but never care or even love for anyone before meeting his little vixen who brought those emotions out of him.

"You with me Harry?" Riddick asked the same question he asked back at the crash site.

"Yes," Harry said passionately. In his heart, his answer would always be the same. "Now and eternally. Riddick."

"Then it's time to get this show on the road." Riddick rumbled with a smirk. They stood from the ground together and as they did so Riddick runs his hand up Harry's back until he reached the back of his neck. Giving it a gentle squeeze, he rubbed his thumb over Harry's pulse feeling his mates lifeblood rushing through his veins, bending low he ran his nose along his neck and took in their mixed scent. It was heavenly and brought images of how their scents mixed in the first place to the front of his mind. Giving the neck a little nip he pulled back and smirked as Harry shuddered.

"Get them moving Vixen. It's time to get off this fucking rock for good." Riddick said lettings go of him and moving away before he did anything to delay them anymore. His vixen was too tempting for his own good sometimes but he wouldn't have him any other way.

Harry lets out a quiet moan of frustration as Riddick walked away instead of finishing what he started. He tried to beat his lust back as he growled out with a pout. "I will pay you back for making me horny like this Riddick especially as we're about to start running. How could you be so cruel?"

"Just imagine Fry lusting after you. That should calm you down." Riddick smirked in amusement, looking over his shoulder at his flushed mate.

He burst out laughing drawing the attention of the others and their confusion, but he paid them no mind as he did what Riddick suggested. His hard flesh withered away so fast at the image in his mind that he was surprised he didn't get whiplash.

"You better hope that hasn't killed it forever Riddick." Harry called out, confusing the others ever more when Riddick roared out laughing.

What a way to kill an erection.

0-0-0-0-0-0

They were soon off again, with his spell re-cast over Jack when no was looking and the torches lit they headed off into the darkness. Fear was potent around them all though many dealt with it better than others, only two had no fear of the creatures and nor for the safety of each other.

Harry paid a lot of attention to what had just happened from his place at the back of the pack. He knew he shouldn't have used his magic to end Paris' life but even the coward didn't deserve to die like that. Being torn to pieces and feeling everything to the last second. Fry yes, Paris? No. But he was now limited to what he could do for the group, the spell on Jack he could only do once more and it wouldn't last or cover her totally but it would have to do. 'Let's hope I don't have to use my magic for anything else or we're fucked.' Harry thought. He did have some healing potions but they couldn't stop long enough for him to get them out of the trunk. And if they being attacked there wouldn't be any time to.

Taking his mind off his mounting problems he looked to the others walking in front of him.

Suleiman, the preteen was beside the sled holding the light over his father, his face was slightly panicked as his eyes darted around them in slight alarm. Their surroundings echoing with the creatures cries getting to the lad.

Imam and Johns pulled the sled together and kept pace with earth other but Harry could see that they were starting to struggle.

"Are we getting close." Jack asked moving beside Fry, holding a nervous Ali's hand. The little boy was now made to hold onto someone hand at all times so he didn't fall behind though that insurance didn't stop the worry showing on the poor boy's face.

"It shouldn't be far now. We've been going for what feels like hours now." Shazza said moving to walk beside them. "It didn't take this long when we walked there earlier."

Harry thought about what she said and realized Shazza was right, even with the attack and break they should of at least reached the boneyard and the start of the canyon by now.

Fry gritted her teeth and ignored Shazza's questions, instead she called to Johns, Imam, and Riddick. "Can we pick up the pace."

Johns rolled his eyes at her bossiness, he was getting sick and tired of her shit. At a hard pull of the sled, his eyes fell to the ground. He stopped making the others as well. He could see tracks in the sand and at first, it didn't click on where they were. He thought he was seeing the sandcats tracks but there was only one set. Not four wheels. It took his slow brain a moment to realize that they were sled marks.

They had crossed their own tracks.

"What's happening? Why we stop?" Shazza asked.

Chucking off the harness, Johns was pissed. Imam and Suleiman stopped beside him and looked down to see what angered the man so much.

Harry stepped forward also and saw what they were looking at. Seeing the marks he realized they had been following their own tracks.

"What? " Harry was confused he didn't understand why Riddick had led them around in a circle But he must have had a good reason for his mate wouldn't mislead them now.

Why the others were panicking over the tracks Riddick had crouched down with his eyes glued ahead seeing something the others couldn't.

Johns stormed over to him his hand hovering over his gun and said sternly. "You want to tell me what the hell going on."

"We crossed our own tracks," Fry explained to the group. She was angry, they didn't have time for this their light wasn't going to last forever and she wanted to be on the Skiff and out of here before anything else happened.

"Why have we circled. Are we lost?" Imam asked Riddick having followed Johns after taking his harness off. The Holy man wanted to know just like the others what was going on.

"Listen." Riddick said, but the others didn't hear him only Harry who used his elves easy to hear what ahead.

When he did so he heard what his mate had and felt despair rush through him. He had forgotten what they have to pass through to get to the Skiff.

"Do you even know where we are?" Imam demanded the fear for his sons and the others was causing him to become angry. It was getting the better of him as the echoes grew around them.

"Listen!" Riddick roared startling everyone causing them to pause and stare wide-eyed at him. Finally, they did as he ordered and listened to what he had heard. A few of them wish they hadn't. It sounded like there were millions of the hammerheads ahead of them waiting, their echoes and screeches in the distance set the group on edge.

"We're in deep shit." Harry said lowly, his eyes glued to where the sounds were coming from.

"Canyon ahead. I circled once to buy some time to think." Riddick explained, silently agreeing with his Vixen. They were in deep shit. His mind was moving a mile a minute, going over plan after plan to get them through.

"I think we should go now." Imam said looking out into the darkness before turning back to Riddick. He knew they couldn't wait much longer, not with their limited light.

"I don't know about that." Riddick said his head nodding towards the canyon. "That's death row up there."

Riddick knew he was about to light a match off in a room full of gunpowder but there was no avoiding it anymore. He wouldn't let his mate hurt himself by using so much magic to hide the truth from this bunch. Standing up he turned to the others.

"Especially with the girl bleeding." Riddick finally explained, causing confusion through everyone bar Jack whose heart stopped.

"What?" Imam asked looking to Riddick for an explanation.

"What the fuck are you talkin' about? They're not cut." Johns said looking at Fry and Shazza, neither had wounds and hadn't been hurt in the attack.

"Not them," Riddick said calmly before turning to stare at Jack who was standing nervously beside

Harry. She'd moved to his side when Riddick had started speaking.

Harry jolted and quickly took a deep breath through his nose and smell the air, he instantly caught her scent. His spell had worn off again and at the worst time possible to do so. He despaired, each time he placed the spell on her the quicker it faded. It has only meant to be used on a person with magic as they charged it was their magic. Jack was pure muggle, the spell had no way to charge and he didn't have enough control to keep it going.

Harry rubbed his head to ward off a headache, he had one more chance respelling her and he was going to have to add more energy to it to make it last longer. And this time he'd have to wait until the very last minute with the canyon ahead, just before they entered it.

'I'm going to have to be more visual till we reach the canyon. There are so many creatures ahead we need all the help we can get.' Harry thought. He had a plan and he just hoped it worked.

Looking at his mate he didn't blame Riddick for telling them about Jack, she needed more help than he could give. And with the others knowing they could keep her safer through tougher times that were coming. Though he wasn't including Johns or Fry, those too were starting to crack under the pressure.

"You gotta be fucking kiddin' me." Johns said in disbelief staring at the boy now girl, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

His tone drew Harry out of his thoughts and back to watching the group.

"I...I thought it'd be better if people took me for a guy. I thought they might leave me alone instead of always messing with me." Jack sobbed, crouching to the ground and rocked back and forth in fear. She made herself as small as possible while hugging herself in comfort.

Harry had an image of smaller boy locked in a small cupboard in the exact same position, the image was gone just as quick as it came and he quickly shook if off, there was no time for the past right now.

He couldn't stand the shame and fear coming from the girl, it was turning his stomach. Though that could be the images trying to pass his Occlumency shield.

Crouching down beside the child he pulled her into his arms. Rubbing her back he rocked them both trying to calm her down.

"I'm sorry." Jack whispered out in Harry's chest.

"Are you really bleeding luv?" Shazza asked gently as she crouched beside the two. Her hand joining Harry's in rubbing the poor girls back. She couldn't imagine what the poor child had been through to hide her gender and then to become an adult in a place like this.

"You could've left me at the ship. That's why I didn't say something sooner." Jack explained burying her head further into the safety of Harry's embrace.

"Oh, hunny," Shazza said with sympathy.

"They've been nose-open for her since we left." Riddick told them. "In case you haven't noticed, they get off on blood."

He left out about Harry's little spell work, he knew his mate was too weak in his wizardry magic to save them with it. And it would only cause trouble with dumb and dumber knowing.

"Look. This is not gonna work." Fry said suddenly looking away from Jack to the others, her fear finally getting the better of her. She said no hope of them ever getting there not with so many of them. She didn't want to die out here. There had got to be another way to get out of this. "We're gonna have to go back."

Harry nearly sneered out loud at that. It looked like Fry's cowardly side was coming to the fore front again. What did she think they were going to do back at the ship, have a tea party until the lights went out.

Hearing a low growl that only he and Riddick picked up on Harry turned to see the enraged look in John's eyes. The guy was about to blow and massively.

"What did you say?" Johns asked, wanting to know he heard the bitch right. Here they were out in the middle of a fuckin' dead valley cause of her plan. She dragged them out of the safety of the cargo hold into darkness with creatures wanting to eat them in the first fucking place and now she was backing out.

He let his rage loose. "You're the one who got us out here in the first place and turned us into fuckin sled dogs!"

"I was wrong. I admit it. Okay, can we please...can we just get back to the ship?" Fry nearly begged, hiding the flinch at Johns rage. She couldn't put up with this right now.

"I don't know Carolyn. Nice breeze. Wide-open spaces. I'm startin' to enjoy my fuckin' self out here." Johns drawled sarcastically

Harry could tell things were heating up and fast. So passing Jack into Shazza's arms he made his way slowly towards Riddick. He didn't want to get between those two fighting for top dog.

Riddick put his arm around Harry's waist and pulled him tight against his side. Riddick knew the pack's order was about to change and he didn't like that one bit. 'Though maybe I could work it into my favour.' He thought, watching the two. 'Johns is bound to do something stupid especially with him going through withdrawal soon.' Riddick attention turned back to the drama in front of him.

"Are you high again!? Just listen to yourself Johns!" Fry shouted her face gaining an anger flush. The bastard was making her look a fool in front of the others and it didn't help Harry was now standing in Riddick's arms out the corner of her eye. The jealousy fuelled her rage and she used that to her advanced to get over her fear or a least pushed it back to fight back Johns. There was no way she was going to lose her spot as the leader, not this close to the end.

"No, you're right. What's there to be afraid of?!" Johns stepped closer to her his eyes shooting daggers at her. "My life's just a steaming pile of meaningless shit anyhow so I say 'mush on'."

Everyone was watching the scene in shock at everything that was coming out of Johns month and he wasn't done yet.

"The canyon's only a couple 100 meters and after that its Skiff city. So why don't you butch up, stuff a cork in this fuckin kid and let's go." Johns demanded, pointing once at Jack causing Shazza to glare back at him and hold the girl tighter against her.

"She is the captain we should listen to her." Imam said trying to reason with him and get order back to the group.

"Listen to her?!" John said slowly, a plan instantly forming inside his head. Looking at Imam and the others who were watching him he now had the perfect way to make himself be in control. It

was time for Fry to be dismounted from her high horse, she had pushed him to far this time, outing his little habit in front of the group and specially Harry. It was time to expose her for the coward she was.

'Time for payback bitch.' Johns smirked, she should really watch who she tells her secrets too. It was about to come and bite her in the ass.

Johns looked straight at Fry, pleased at the uneasy look that appeared on her face. He said calmly at first. "When she was willing to sacrifice us all."

Fry suddenly realised what he was doing and how much trouble she was in.

"What're ya talking about?" Shazza asked confused, looking back and forth between the pair. She didn't like where this conversation was going. Keeping a good hold of Jack, she moved closer to Ali and Suliman. She was prepared for the worst and would keep the kids safe.

Fry knew what Johns was planning and was consumed with fear, she knew the group would no longer trust or follower her, maybe turn her in once they were off this planet if they find out she tried to save her own skin over theirs. Fry tried to get him to stop baying. "This is not helping Johns."

"The crash, she tried to blow the passenger cabin, kill us in our sleep!" Johns shouted out, ignoring Fry altogether now that he had the others listening to him. It was time to do the killing blow. Johns conducted to ruin her. "We're fuckin disposable, we're just walking ghosts to you!"

Fry reaches her boiling point, her secret was out. Rushing at him she screamed. "Shut your fucking blowhole!"

Johns was faster, he grabbed her tightly by the shoulders and shoving her to the ground harshly.

"Fine! Fine!" Imam yelled grabbing Johns shoulder to stop him doing anything else to the downed woman. "You made your point, we should all be scared!"

Johns shoved off the hand with a glare. He made no effect to keep the sarcastic tone out his voice as he said to the downed woman. "So Carolyn, how much do you weigh now?"

With a last withering look at her, he grabbed a flare from his waist and lit it as he addressed Imam and the others. "The verdicts in. The light moves forward."

The pack's hierarchy had shifted, making Johns their new leader. Everyone was in shock over everything that had happened in such a short amount of time and had no clue on what to do but follow this guy's orders.

Harry, though was happy to see Fry taken down a few pegs, just wished it hadn't been Johns' doing.

He didn't like having to follow the drugged up merc, the man had no loyalty to anyone but himself, he would sooner use them as cannon fodder to save his own skin just like Fry nearly did. 'I don't know which is worst evil here.' Harry thought.

"Stay close to the others, Vixen," Riddick whispered into Harry's ear as his eyes locked onto Johns as the man stormed ahead. "Keep to them like glue, I'll find you after the shits gone down."

"After what Riddick? What do you have planned?" Harry asked, not liking where this was going.

"Johns just outlived his usefulness," Riddick growled lowly. There was no way he was letting the

bastard be the leader for long. The bastard had also gotten on his bad side, even more since his little chat with his MATE.

Harry sighed, knowing he will follow his mate's orders in this. Johns was Riddick's kill and had been for a long time. "Very well my Hunter. I'll do as you say this time but please be careful. Death is close once more."

He begged at the end. He couldn't lose his mate to some drugged up fake cop, not after finally finding him.

Riddick pulled Harry into a passionate heated kiss and growled at the taste. It was a flavour that was purely Harry. He couldn't get enough, running his tongue over his mates lips one more time before letting Harry reluctantly go. He felt smug at the flushed look on Harry's face and his bruised glittering lips.

Releasing Harry's waist, he leaned down to whispered into his dazed mate's ear one last time. "Oh I will be careful Vixen, there no way I'm done with you, not by a long shot."

Harry blushed before nodding. Riddick walked away to the front of the group with Johns being quick to follow not far behind him. Most likely waiting for his hunter to be alone. Knowing something was going to happen very soon Harry prepared himself for what's ahead. Taking one last calming breath to cool his heated blood he made his way over to the others.

As soon as he was close Ali latched onto his hand as he looked into Jack's and Suleiman's scared eyes. It wasn't surprising they were fearful, not with what just happened. Hearing the harsh truth of Fry's and seeing her pushed so violently to the floor and now laying there with a shameful and pathetic look on her face had knocked the kid's confidences right down.

He had to stop himself from grinning at her though, the bitch had it coming with all her lies and deceit to them all. Harry thought. 'She should be shameful with misleading everyone and nearly killing them to save her own hide.'

Turning from her he saw Suleiman picking up the harness Johns dropped. The lad was going to help his faster pull the sled as Johns was no longer going to help. Harry wanted to help but he wouldn't have time to take off the harness if something else happens and with Riddick's last word there was bound for something to happen soon. Instead, he moved to their side with Ali and cover their side with a touch. On the other side, Shazza had done the same with Jack, holding a touch up high over from that side. Fry had finally gotten up and followed the other woman like a broken doll as everyone ignored her.

Harry nodded towards Shazza and Suleiman. "Jack help Shazza, stay close to her alright."

As she moved away Harry lead Ali to his brothers side. The teen gave him a small smile before speaking lowly to his brother handing the young boy the touch and positioning himself by Suleiman's side.

Harry, seeing everything sorted moved to the front. He needed his hands free when something went wrong so he would lead them and still keep watch on was happening in front with Riddick.

He didn't have to wait long as Johns fell in line with Riddick as they walked through the bones

They walked on, slowly now so they could build their energy for the canyon run. Harry suspected they would need all the energy they could get for them to make it through as fast as possible without dying.

Turning to look back he saw Shazza had moved to walk beside Imam, Jack right at their side. Poor girl was clenching her light and was tenses as a bow string. When they got to the start of the canyon he would spell her one last time even if it would only last a short while. Thought at this point he didn't know how much help it would be as the creatures were following their every step now. They had gotten the taste of their blood and it was driving them mad with hunger. It took all the mind art skills he knew to block it out. he heeded his head in the game for what was going to happen soon.

Harry used his elven hearing to pick up on what was being said up front. Listening closely to Johns speaking to Riddick he couldn't help but think things were going to get a lot worse before they got better.

And how right he was.

"Talking"

Chapter 16

Walking over the hard stony gravel Riddick made his way to the edge of the light that casted a soft glow over the bleached white bones of the giant creatures that had fallen years ago. The boneyard once bathed in light now shrouded in shadows. He could hear the smaller hatchlings crawling through the bones, places to hide till their mothers returned for them. safe from the hungry males. He more time they spent on this planet the more he came to understand their ways. After all, animals understand animals.

The route they'd be taking through the bones was not without its risks. They were going to have to be on their guard if they didn't want to be taken by surprise. The creatures can hid behind the larger bone walls, well away from their light and if one of the others got to close they'd be nabbed and dragged into the darkness.

Hearing a screech in the distance he glanced over to see two creatures fighting and rolling down a hill. If he was right that was the same hill the the others had travelled over when they looked for him. The large boneyard was half circled by large sandy hills and they had cut through with the sand cat over the only parts that were flat. He had made the right decision to bring them this way instead of the other. Taking those cells up steep sandy hills would've been stupid as hell.

He may be taking them the longer route but less hassle overall. 'Taking the girl over that would have gotten a lot of them killed and I'm not putting my Vixen at risk. Not for them.' Glancing over his shoulder his eyes fell on his mate. The dazed expression he had left him with gone and now he looked more composed. He stood by the group and was getting them together after their latest

bombshell. That was one of the main reasons he didn't like working around citizens. They couldn't handle big surprise like betrayal or violence.

Gracing at the only two adults he could tolerate. Riddick took in their tense forms as they busied themselves. Imam and Shazza were holding up better than he had expected. One had lost a mate and not a few hours ago one had lost a child to the darkness. This hellhole planet didn't care who it took as long as it broke you. But theses to were holding up better than a merc and pilot were, those two were already showing the cracks in their skin for all to see and any trust the group and built on them was gone like ash in the wind.

Riddick flicked his eyes over his mate, he trusted the Holy man and woman to stick by him though what was to come. Imam with his two remaining boys and Shazza taken Jack under her wing will follow his mate to the end.

Looking over at Jack he saw her looking at him before looking away when Shazza caught her attention. It's a good thing two as the kid had showing a little bit too much interest in him and he didn't deal with kids.

His Harry had chosen correctly in putting his trust in those two. Both had back bones it seemed and would do anything to keep the kids safe, even giving up their own lives to do so. He could see it in their eyes. He had to admire that.

Flicking his eyes over his mates figure again he saw him bend over to pick his bag off the ground. His thoughts instantly shifted to a more sinful direction, he couldn't help it really Harry was a mix of sexy and deathly, a perfect mate wrap up in one hot package and all for him. He could still feel his Vixen's firm tight backside in his hands and hear those lustful moans that just beg him to claim that sweet body all over again.

He loved the sexy sounds that his mate tried to hold in just now. He had tried so hard to keep silent and the more he tried the more Riddick wanted to free them. He loved it when his mate fell apart with pleasure by his hands and his alone.

It was amusing to play with his Vixen he just wished he had more time to take his time and for them both to enjoy. He wanted to send a whole day just exploring that beautiful body and finding all the sweet spots. 'But I will soon enough.' Riddick thought holding in the smirk that wanted to appear across his face. He didn't want anyone knowing his thoughts weren't on getting them through the darkness.

Dispelling thoughts of pleasuring his Vixen to the back of his mind to focus on later Riddick got to work on plans of getting them safely off this planet in one peace. There was only one way to the Skiff and that was down the canyon. With so many people those creatures will be on their tail instantly and with their little light sources it wouldn't be much protection against them. The best way though would be him taking the cells and having the others run in front with lights, Harry would have to be in lead not something he relished but he trusted no other to lead them through and not fuck it up.

He had one problem though with the plan. And out the corner of his eye he spotted his problem. Johns, lurking about nearby with a flare in hand, still away from the others not wanting to interact with after near attacking the captain. So there he was making a big show of checking his guns. Reminding them all who held all the guns. The bastard wouldn't be pleased with him being alone with the cells nor having Harry in the lead. He silently watched as Johns slowly made his way closer towards him though he seemed hesitant. It seems Johns' didn't want to approach with everyone in earshot still.

'What have you cooked up in that head of yours?' Riddick thought for now he'd have to wait and see what the man wanted from him. Whatever plan was brewing behind those ice cold blue eyes wasn't good for any of them and he wanted his mate far away from its fallout. Johns had made it plainly clear he wanted to fuck and use what wasn't his. And the bastard wasn't above using Harry against him if he was backed into a corner.

Riddick would do everything in his power to make sure that didn't happen.

Turning his attention from the blue eyed devil, he looked back to the group he saw that they were nearly done getting themselves sorted though some were still in a state of shock over what Johns had revealed about Fry. 'Ignorance is bliss.' Riddick frowned.

He walked further into the boneyard seeing parts he recognized when he was there the first time. He looked over the great creatures bones. 'So many giant animals all taken down so quickly. I wonder if they even had a chance to feel any real pain before they were consumed.' He could just imagine the cries they called as they were swarmed by their predators once the sun had gone down.

Passing a rib cage his thoughts went back to Harry as he looked over the scared bones. It hadn't been long ago he had his first meeting without chains with the little Vixen. hidden under the bones as they listened to Johns and Fry, feeling that slim body pressed hard against his chest.

'Fun times, if there had been more time I would have played more with him there and then.' Riddick smirked, remembering the feeling of his mate's body against his own and his scent filling his scenes. Their time in the bedroom had set a flame alight inside him and it only burned brighter the longer he had to wait for a reply. He had never been so free in making love before. Every other time before Harry had been a quick fuck and even then they had always been a slight fear in their scents. Not with Harry though he had taken everything he had and demanded more.

Just thinking of his mate gorgeous body was enough to get his blood boiling again and his member start to fill. Even since meeting his mate he no longer had control over his body's reactions like before. He didn't think months ago he would ever get what other men called 'blue balls'.

Wanting nothing more than to take his mate somewhere and again claim him and not being able to was causing his frustration to mount and a growl to pass his lips. He looked around to see if there was anything to get rid of his problem, what he wouldn't do for a cold shower or ever batter somewhere he could drag Harry for some alone time.

Out the corner of his eye he saw movement and there trying to keep to herself was Fry, she was facing him and her eyes were glue to his form, giving him heated lustful looks. Wanting his attention after everything she had been through.

The look gave him an idea. Turning from her he closed his eyes and used Fry hunger face nearing his to get rid of his hardness, oh she pretty enough but those looks were wasted on her with that bitch personality she has going. It didn't have a chance to work as the image fled as his brain refused to torment itself and instead went against him, picture of Harry standing over her with his shiv covered in hot dripping blood. The image sent dark pleasure through his veins.

The primal side of him growled in satisfaction at the thoughts of what his mate planned for the bitch. Her death wasn't long in coming as he could smell the growing rage building within his mate every time the bitch gazed at him with those lustful eyes. Oh she made sure the group didn't notice her stares but her scent gave her away to them.

But it was failing her now. The other survivors were beginning to wake up and pay attention her actions. At the moment she was in luck as since finding out about her secret they all had other

things on their mind and had no time for her. But that will soon change.

He head shot up as a loud screech in the distance reached his ears, he had let his mind linger on his mate and the group for too long and too often. It seemed. Crouching down he looked around him, darkness to others but clear as day to him only in pinks and purples.

He quickly spotted what was making the sounds. There in the distance were a group of creatures fighting and screwing. Young clinging to their mothers backs for safety and bull males fighting and killing for the right to the single females. It fascinated him, these hammerhead animals not only hunted each other for food but they killed and ate their prey within seconds before any of their kin claim it. Their bodies were made to be deadly even from a young age. With their tail blades and sharp bladed head, with their ability to fly and find prey by echolocation, they we're the perfect killing machines. There only weakness was the light, be it the sun or touch.

But they were still animals and Riddick had never been or ever will be scared of any animal. They'll know he was the alpha soon enough.

If they wanted someone to fill their bellies it wouldn't be him or Harry. If he had it his way Johns will be next to be on the meal.

Why the bastard ever thought of offering Harry a deal of becoming a bounty hunter was anyone's guess. The man seems to have forgotten all about Harry telling them they were mates back at the crash ship.

'You would think the fucker heard that, must be the drugs. I know they would be slowing him down right about now after so long without a hit but it seems after all these years of use there not as effective. He had his last hit at the ship, no chance to top up since we left. He would be getting desperate. The bastards will be losing his mind.' Riddick thought. It pissed him of royalty that he couldn't waste the fucker now but he would keep the rage inside for now, let it build for when it was needed. It wasn't time to ghost the fucker yet but soon.

Johns being leader had lowered his life expectancy. There was no way he was following the fucker's cowardly orders.

And from the scheming look in those blue orbs the bastard had a plan. And with how well Riddick knew Johns after all these years it was going to be a sick and twisted.

Riddick learned the hard way on what Johns would do to get his bounty. The fucker would do anything to not risk his own skin even if it meant a child's death. He had done it before, it was how he had caught him in the end. Johns used a child to bring him in the open and even with him in cuffs he shot the girl in cold blood to leave no witness to what he had done.

Flicking his eyes to Jack and Ali before facing the front, now with them knowing the boy was in fact a girl and was bleeding on top of that. Well Riddick would only guess what Johns will plan around that.

His mind turned to the fight between Fry and Johns. The little trust the group had for them both since landing was gone. Oh he sewed the first hint of mistrust between the bitch and merc by letting out she was placing her trust in a merc and a drugged up one at that. He saw it break even more with their battle of top dog at the ship but now it was totally shattered with Johns telling the others about what she had been willing to do to save her own skin.

'Bitch should have known not to trust those blue eyes, but not everyone uses the brain they were given.' Riddick smirked darkly.

But he soon lost it. He knew everything was going to hit the fan and fast. It was one thing after another with this group and if his mate wasn't so attached to some of them he would have left with Harry and left them to fend for themselves.

Thinking and doing were to different things. He knew finding Harry had change him, oh he wasn't soft by any means and would kill anyone who got in his or his mates way but he knew he couldn't look into these kids eyes and leave them to this nightmare. When it was everyman for himself, he would of have been gone with the power cells and ran to the skiff with no problem before Harry.

'Interesting how finding a life mate that would do anything for you and you for them changes how you were before.' Riddick thought. So many changes and many more were happening inside them both. He could feel them inside slowly taking hold like wanting to be alone with his mate, wanting to get to know him, all the ups and downs he faced in life. Plus he had come to fine he wasn't best pleased when other males were around him.

Though he didn't seem to mind the holy man but that could be because the man saw Harry as a son so he didn't see him as competition.

Soon everyone was ready as they can be and began to moving through the field of bones. Riddick looked to see the others following behind him, keeping up well with his paces. Riddick knew Harry would make sure the others kept up and were safe for this next part.

Seeing Fry at the back of the group following like a lamb he sneered. Both her and Johns need to be six feet under, they didn't need to be watching for out for them and the beasts.

'Think about the blue eyed devil and he will appear.' Much to Riddick's disgust as Johns came out from the other side of a bone wall.

Walking between the bones Riddick quickly held his hand up to shield his eyes from Johns' flare as he came beside him. Bastard didn't give a fuck if he half blinding him.

They fell into step with each other and walked slight ahead of the others. Riddick wondered what sales pitch Johns had cooked up. He thankful didn't have to wait long before the bastard started digger himself into a hole.

"Ain't all of us gonna make it." Johns started friendly like, his tone full of charm.

"Just realized that? Huh?" Riddick sarcastically said looking at the merc before turning back forward. 'What are you up to now Johns?' He though.

"Nine of us left." 'Not like I can't count fucker.' "If we could make it through the canyon and lose one, that'd be quite a feat, huh?" Johns said like he was talking about the weather and not someone's life.

'So that's your plan you cowardly fuck.' Riddick sneered silently, letting none of the hate show on his face he said out loud. "Not if I'm that one,"

"What if you're one of say six?" Johns smirked, but soon lost it when one of the creatures cried out from the darkness cursing him to spin in its direction.

'Oh Johns you think I don't realize who the other one is, like I would let you get your hands on MY Harry.' Riddick didn't let any of his thoughts show on his face instead he set it in a intrigued expression as he replayed. "I'm listening."

He wasn't the only one listening either. Harry, leading the group wasn't much caring where Johns

was going with this conversation. It set him on edge. Johns has reached his breaking point. No longer caring to act like mister nice guy instead his true self was out to play.

A bounty hunter willing to do anything to get his query.

"What are they doin' up there?" Jack shakily asked, clenching her touch in her hand as she watched the backs of the merc and her hero.

"They're talking about the canyon, I think." Imam reassured. Hoping to reassure the poor girl. "On how to get us all through."

"I hope ya right there Imam." Shazza frowned watching the two men in front. She couldn't shack the uneasy feeling in her gut and seeing the same expression on Harry's face. He shoot her a look of fear and a movement of his hand to stand by the kids. She suddenly remembered what Harry had told them back at the cargo ship, about his elven side hearing being stronger than humans. If he was hearing what those two were talking about and his face said he wasn't pleased about it then something was very wrong. She couldn't help wishing she could hear what they were talking about as well.

Shazza silently sent up a pray that they would be okay as she watched the emotions play across those emerald eyes. She gripped her touch tightly and moved closer to the kids wanting to be prepared for anything as she slowed her walk down.

'It's going to get worse before it gets better as my mom always said.' She thought the feeling of dread growing stronger as they slowed.

Harry saw Shazza had gotten his silent message of something not being right. Whatever Johns was cooking up wasn't going to be good for the rest of them.

Facing forward once more, Harry heard what Johns said next, and it made the blood in his veins run cold.

"Battlefield Doctors decide who lives and dies its called triage." Johns explained his plan. 'Real cold there Johns, so you plan to kill someone and use them as bait to drew the beasts away.' Riddick felt sick. He may be a killer but never innocents. Only the weak went after those who can't fight back.

"Keep calling it murder when I did it." Riddick said sarcastically not letting on to what he was really thinking.

Johns' smirked thinking Riddick was on broad with his way of thinking. As long as he didn't use Harry that was, not that he would at this stage of the game. He was fine using the others with that in mind he continued on. "Either way, I figure it's something you can grab onto."

"Sacrifice play." Riddick spoke a bit louder hoping the group heard that without Johns noticing. Johns' noticed nothing wrong and Riddick wasn't too worried if they didn't hear as he knew Harry was listening to every word. "Hack up a body. Leave it at the start of the canyon…. Like a bucket of bait."

"Trawl with it. We're got extra cable on the sled. We drag the body 40, 50 feet behind us." Johns explained the rest of his plan, not giving a shit he was talking about killing. He done it enough already to be put in a slam himself, what was one more? The perks of being a merc always worked in his favour.

"Nice embellishment." Riddick said with fake amusement. Inside he was pissed as hell. At least he

killed when in defence and they were low life's to begin with. He never touches kids or innocents who don't know the game. He never saw the point, only weak bastards pray on someone who couldn't fight back.

"I don't want to feed the fuckers." Johns said like he was talking about feeding a pack of dogs with dog food and not a bunch of predators and one of them. "I just want to keep them off our scent."

Riddick gritted his teeth, he had heard enough of this bullshit. It was time to end this masquerade.

"So which one caught your eye?" Riddick said turning and looked straight into Harry's worried eyes. In that one moment Harry understood the message his mate was sending to him. Harry knew to stick with the group.

From his mates widening eyes and quick nod he didn't have to worry about the others getting in the way of this fight.

"Don't look!" Johns rushed out grabbing Riddick's arms to turn him forward before letting go. "Crusts, what the hell's wrong with you."

"Imam, Shazza, slow down a bit." Harry said quietly, slowing his own pace. "Just put a little more space between us and them."

Shazza and Imam looked at him confused but did as he said which he was thankful for. He didn't have time to deal with questions right now. Looking to Fry he saw she was paying them no attention but still slowed with them. Still in shock from what Harry could tell so he paid her no mind. As long as she didn't get in the way he was happy to ignore her.

Eyes going back to his mate and Johns backs, Harry knew he had to get the group away when things turned ugly, what with Johns still holding onto his shotgun.

"Alright. Enough of this shit. You do the girl and I'll keep the others off your back. Harry won't put up to much fuss and if he does you can handle him." Johns said cockily. Happy his plan were coming together. His happy moment came to a stop though when Riddick paused, the big guy slowly turned towards him with an intense look in his eye. John stopped with him and joked. "It's not too big a job for you, is it?"

Riddick looked deep Johns dead in the eyes, ignoring the pain of flares that Johns still held. It wouldn't matter in a moment. "I'm just wondering if we don't need a bigger piece of bait."

"Like who?" Johns asked confused, he couldn't understand where Riddick was going with this. He didn't register the threating tone in Big Bad's voice. His once sharp mind was clouded by withdraw of his drugs.

Riddick said nothing just kept looking into Johns eyes waiting for it to click into place, his body ready for what was about to happen.

A flash of awareness appeared across those blue orbs as Johns finally realized what Riddick meant. Seeing that Riddick strike before Johns could even think to lift his gun, throwing a hard punch to Johns face so hard the man stumbled back.

At the first more Harry shouted to the others. "Leave the sled! Let's move!"

He hated having to leave his Hunter alone with the drug up merc but Riddick didn't want him and the others getting stuck between them and used by Johns' against him.

"Let's go! Let's go! Move it people!" Shazza yelled yanking Jack along behind her when the kid didn't move fast enough. Imam held onto his youngest hand and called his other son to him as they ran from the fight.

Fry's head shoot up in panic, finally woke from her deep thoughts and quickly shoot after them, not wanting to be left behind defenceless.

'Be careful my hunter, I'll be waiting for you.' Harry thought just as the sounds of the fighting faded behind them.

"Talking"

Chapter 17

Johns stumbled back at the hash blow to the face grunt with pain, shaking his head. As Johns tried to get his bearings Riddick didn't let up his attack. He shot forward and uppercut the flare from the merc's hand and knocking it far enough away its glare no longer blinded his eyes. The green flare hit a bone wall and came to rest on the dirt ground, its glow allowing Johns enough light to see and keep the creatures at bare, for now

Riddick attacked again, slamming his fist into Johns face, the blow was strong and it caused Johns to spin and blood and spit to fly out of his mouth.

As he span it gave Riddick the chance to twist his body to get behind the man and grab for the gauge. Pulling it out of its holder he lifted it up to end the bastard when Johns recovered enough to quickly grab the barrel and point it away from him. As they wrestled each other for control it fired into the darkness causing screeches of pain to be heard as some creatures were hit. Their cries soon stopped as their kin were quick to end its suffering.

While they fought over the gun Riddick kept some of his attention on his mate, he could hear others yell in surprise and fear before Harry took charge and lead them away from the danger. The tension in his body faded now he knew he didn't have to worry about his mate, instead he can have his full attention on Johns.

The gun fired again and again as they grappled for control. The cries of the creatures grew in volume as they feasted on their fallen kin. Neither man cared as they fought for their lives. Twisting his arm to lock with Riddick and trap the gun, Johns quickly used his freed one and slammed it down onto the outside of Riddick's elbow repeatedly. He used all his strength into each hit until finally Riddick's elbow dislocates, breaking the arm lock.

Riddick sneered and held his roar of pain as he lost his grip on the shotgun he quickly acted before Johns had control over it, his leg shot up and kicked Johns' knee making him fall onto the other. Taking the gun he throws it far from them. It hit the ground and skidded further into the darkness, barely visible anymore. Johns got to his feet but Riddick delivers a powerful blow to Johns' face and the bounty hunter went stumbling away with a grunt of pain.

He barely manged to stop his momentum into an outcrop of bone spears, his eyes widen in fear as he realized how close he came to becoming implied on those bones.

Using the distraction, Riddick pushed his elbow back into place, pain shot through his arm but he barely let out a grunt. He knew it wasn't broken and wouldn't hinder him. It hurt but nothing showed on his face as he watched Johns scramble to his feet. He reached up and grabbed his harness as they faced each other.

The two men slowly began to circle each other. Nether making a move forwards yet. Both knew this was their finally death match and both planned to come out the winner.

Predator vs predator.

Now it was time to see who the bigger predator.

Taking his harness of Riddick moved it to his other hand, ready for use. His sliver eyes never left Johns' form, watching the nervous man becoming more nervous and afraid by the minute.

Suddenly one of the creatures darted close spooking Johns as it got to close before the flare light drove it off again. He shot a quick look behind him, his fear spiking sharply as he moved to face Riddick again. He knew it was never a good idea to take your eyes off Big Bad.

Riddick circled until he had the flares light on his back, with it no longer in his view he could see Johns clearly and slowly he drew his shiv letting the light shine off it deadly blade. Now he had two weapons the harness and shiv.

Johns panicked, he forgotten Riddick had that shiv he reached quickly down and grab his own knife. It was much smaller and wasn't going to be much help against that shiv but at a time like this anything was better than being empty handed against Big Bad.

"Rule one." Riddick said shooting forward and attacking, slashing his shiv at the man. Johns stepped back and use his blade to block him before using his own to swap at his stomach but Riddick saw this and used the flat of his blade to knock Johns' away. What he didn't expect was for it to get court in Johns' handle locking them together. Riddick quickly he used the light harness in his other hand and slammed it across Johns side causing him to grunt in pain as he fell back a few steps unlocking their blades. Riddick didn't let up and used it once again to hit Johns across the face, knocking him to the ground. Throwing the harness to the side Riddick leaned over Johns. "Stay in the light."

Johns gritted his teeth in pain before reaching down to his belt and grabbing his baton, extending it he swept Riddick's legs from under him in one blow.

As soon as Riddick was on his back beside him Johns wasted no time in rushing to his knees and moved to strike Riddick again, hoping to knock the man out.

Coming down towards his head, Riddick's arm shoot up and stop him by grabbing his arm, they began to struggle for the weapon till Riddick kicked his leg up and smacked Johns in the chest. As he flow back throw the air away from him Riddick back rushed to his feet.

He hadn't planned for Johns to land by his shiv.

Picking it up, Johns span around and rushed towards Riddick blade aimed for his unprotected gut. Riddick grab his arm and they struggled with the blade. Johns hocked his leg behind Riddick's and they fell to the ground with a grunt. Johns pushing down with his all strength, the blade aimed in front of Riddick's face. He became unnerved by the expression on Riddick's face, but he didn't let that stop him in trying to overpower Riddick's hold. He was struggling so much though and it pissed him off to see he didn't even look worried as he held the shiv away.

Slowly moving the blade away Riddick stared up at Johns and calmly whispered. "Remember that moment."

With that Riddick slammed the blade up and the handle along with John's fist into his own chest. Johns grunted and yelled out when he flew over head over heels and slammed into the ground above the man.

Riddick quickly got to his own knees and grab the shiv back.

He hated that the man even touch it.

Beside him as Johns got to his feet Riddick shoot up and aimed for the man's unprotected back, the blade slashed across the flesh of Johns' back, creating a deep gash down his shoulder blades to middle of his back.

"AHH!" Johns cried out, his back arching in pain. This caused him to lurch forward and fall to the ground once more.

Watching Johns squirm in pain like a worm pleased Riddick. The bastard deserved more an a little cut for what he had done. Sadly Riddick knew he was pressed for time, the longer they fought the further the group went and he didn't want his mate out of his sight for too long.

Getting up from his kneeling position Riddick made his way over to where his harness was laid. He leaned down picked it up and placing it over his shoulder.

Looking over the pathetic merc, Riddick taunted. "Should never have taken the chains off, Johns."

"And what were you thinking with that small brain of your in trying to take my mate from me. You think I didn't hear what you fuckin asked him." Riddick growled. "Didn't you remember what he told you all back at the crash? You really thought you could tempt him away from me, his mate, with fucking money and being some big ass bounty hunter."

Riddick shock his head in mock disappointment. "Bad idea Billy Boy. Very bad idea."

Johns felt fear consume his heart as he realized how much he'd fucked up but he wasn't going to go down without a fight. His eyes landed on his shotgun, it wasn't far from him just out of reach. His heart filled with hope. They had been struggling so much nether had noticed how close they moved toward it. Pushing through the pain away he shot out an arm out and grabbed it. He made a mistake though when he rounded onto his back to fire it. He landed right on his wound and the

pain he pushed back before came rushing forward in greater force. It was too much and he dropped his gun beside him and ached up moaning.

Then the flares light dead and bathed them both in darkness.

The only light allowing Johns to see was from Riddick's harness and the light mounted on his shotgun. Bot lights weren't enough to cover him from danger that lurked in the darkness and he knew that.

"You were one brave fuck before." Riddick taunted as he watched Johns grope his vest for shells. The gun empty from the start of their fight. "Having the balls to think you could have what's mine."

"And to think." Riddick said looking down at Johns, rage shining in his sliver eyes. "You were brave or dumb enough to think for one second that Harry would full into your arms and take the deal. The two of you sailing away into the stars like one fucked up fairy tale." Riddick laughed darkly. Raising his arm into the air. "Becoming the great William Johns, bounty hunter of space."

"But no, that's was all in your head Billy Boy. That drugged up mind of yours was playing you for a fool. After all… Harry… is….MINE!" Riddick roared, kicking Johns in the ribs as his rage took over. No one took his mate from him.

Johns cried out in agony, his ribs cracking under the force of the blow.

"You lose Johns." Riddick growled slowly backing away, he wanted to do more to the bastard but it was time to end this.

Thorough his pain Johns reached once more for his pockets, blindly feeling for his shotgun shell till he grabbed some. Pulling his gun closer to himself he reloaded as fast as he possible could. In the darkness he couldn't see he loaded only one shell that was red. Johns rolled onto his knees but pain raced through his body making him ach his back and stopped him from getting up straight away.

"You were Billy Badass. The chains. The gauge. The badge. The deal…" With each word Riddick stepped into the darkness slowly disappearing. His voice echoing around Johns its taunting words causing him to get up faster.

Finally Johns pushed through the pain and got to his feet, ignoring the pulse of pain that shoot through him as he stood Johns quickly span to where Riddick had been standing, shotgun at the ready to kill the man once and for all. But he had been to slow, Riddick was gone and he was only surrounded by darkness now.

Johns' heart rate picked up and a cold sweat appeared on his brow as his eyes shot around him.

"I told you to ghost me." Riddick voice rang out somewhere from the darkness.

Johns span around trying to find him with the torch at the end of his gun. His fear was shooting skyrocketing, pules racing and a cold sweat broke out over his forehead. He tried to hold his panic back not needing it to overwhelm him as the monsters screeches became louder in excited. He could see movement in the shadows around him but as soon as he looked whatever it was had disappeared.

His shotgun trembled in his hand as he span in a circle, eyes searching when his arms started to shack even more in fear. Suddenly one of the braver creatures flew towards him out from the darkness. The attack missed by inches and it when the light of the flare touched its scaly hide it let

out a screech and quickly flew around him to avoid the light. The attack managing to knock him to the ground and rolling onto his back he quickly fire the shot gun. The bullet slammed in to its side. It screeches and flaw back into the night, side bleeding.

Getting to his feet quickly, he pumped his gun and a red empty shell fell to the ground. Only a blue morphine shell was left, the drug that kept him pain free would be his down fall.

Johns span around hearing other screech and his eyes widen when another creature creeped into the faint light, it hissed at him, its teeth razor shape blades.

It shoots forward, straight at him. Raising his gun he pulled the trigger.

The gun jammed with a click and before Johns could resister the gun failing he felt a great impact to his chest and pain like nothing he had ever felt before flooded his brain, but he had no breath to scream.

From the darkness Riddick watched with a dark pleasure as Johns slowly fell to his knees into a bloody pool that was growing under the man, a large tail blade sticking through his chest and out his back. 'So here ends Billy Badass Johns. You shouldn't have tried to fuck me over Johns. It never ends well.'

Johns saw in the fate light he was impaled by the beast's tail. Looking up he stared transfixed as the monster looked back at him with its eyeless head. The pain was indescribable but his brain was in shock and he had no breath to scream in agony. The creature opened its mouth, its razor shape teeth making his eyes widen, and Johns gasped as it reared back. That was the last sound he made before he knew nothing more as it shoot forward and brought its jaws over his head and crashed his brain in one bite.

Riddick smirked as the creature began to feast, others soon joining till it was an all-out fight over the fresh meal.

Turning he began to run where the others had disappeared to. Following the scent trail of his mate.

It was time to get off this rock.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Harry quickly led the group away, though his mind wasn't on the group but on what was happening back there between Riddick and Johns. He knew Riddick would win but he couldn't stop the nagging at the back of his mind. 'You better make it back to me Riddick or there be hell to pay.' Harry thought. 'And hopeful without Johns.'

No longer hearing the fighting even with his elven ears he slowed his space before coming to a complete stop. The group stopping beside him all of them tried and panting for breathe from their dash. They all tried to see around where they were but everything looked the same. They had no clue in how far they had gotten.

"We have to make it back to the ship, we're be safer there." Fry spoke for the first time since Johns' ratted out her secret. She knew in her heart Johns was now out of the picture and she could once again take the places of leader.

"We'd never make it back without getting lost in this darkness and killed, Fry. We have no clue what way it is in and were be sitting ducks anyway. I'm not waiting to be eaten on this God damned rock." Shazza argued. She didn't go through all this fear to go back and be dinner now.

"Shazza's right, there is no way I'm sitting on my ass waiting to be eaten by those things. Once was enough down that bloody hole." Harry stared at Fry angrily. 'Bitch is up to something, most likely trying to be leader now Johns is out the picture. Dose her little brain really think we'd follower her now they know she already tried to kill them once and me twice.'

"ITS safer then out HERE!" she yelled at Harry waving her arm around. She hated the bastard even more now. Everyone was following him instead of her. She was the Capitan.

"Nowhere is safe! Not until we're off this fucking planet Fry! Get that through your bloody head!" Harry bellowed back. He was worried about Riddick and keeping everyone safe in waiting for him. He didn't need this shit right now.

"Please calm down all of you. You're scaring the children." Imam frowned at them his kids clinging to his side.

Harry turned to him and saw little Ali hiding his head in his father side, clinging to him. When boy pecked out Harry's heart clenched in pain at those fearful eyes. Harry took a deep breath and he pushed his hair from his face. "Sorry Imam, I guess we're all stress with everything that's happened."

Fry on the other hand said no such apology, just gritted her teeth in rage and clench her hands over her touch.

Imam turned to Fry and spoke as calmly as he could. "He is correct. We must think of a way to get through the canyon and to the Skiff. It's our only hope now."

Before anyone could say anything else Shazza suddenly let out a yelp as Riddick appeared beside her.

Harry let out a sigh of relief and smiled happily, looking his mate over and saw no wounds present. Rushing forward he jumped into his mates arms and kissed him deeply pressing tightly to his chest. He wound his arms around his neck and kissed him with abandon all the worry and fear he had feel disappearing into thin air. Riddick barely had a chance to fully enjoy Harry's taste before the little Vixen fell back to the flat of his feet and let his arms fall to his sides.

"Never worry me like that ever again." Harry whispered shooting a sharp look at his mate.

Riddick smirked and nodded. He gave his mate a once over to make sure he was okay before turning to the others.

"Back to the ship huh?" Riddick said stepping more into the light and looked Fry in the eye till she looked away. "Just huddle together until the lights burn out."

"Get away from us." Fry growled turning back to him. When he stepped away from Harry and closer to her she took a quick step back as her heart skipped a beat. Even if she hated Johns, at least he kept Riddick in line enough from doing anything against them. Though she had hoped with time he would want to get closer to her but with Harry around she wouldn't have the chance to have the man for herself.

Harry shoots her a dirty look like he knew what was on her mind.

Riddick paid her no mind and continued. "Till you can't see what's eating you."

Fry gulped as Riddick looked her dead in the eyes. "That's your big plan."

She tore her eyes away from his no longer being able to hold them anymore. All she had wanted was to be safe. The crashed ship seemed to be the best choice than being out here with nothing around them.

"Where's Johns?" Imam asked seeing the merc wasn't with Riddick and having a feeling he wouldn't be seeing the blonde again.

Harry knew that Johns wouldn't be joining them and he couldn't be happier after hearing his sick plans for Jack.

"Which half?" Riddick said amused.

"We're gonna lose everyone out here." Jack whimpered backing up a step, her fear clouded the air around them. It was so intense Harry had to hold his breath for a few second.

The adults watched sadly as tears started to fall from her eyes. The girl had reached her baking point and was losing hope of them every getting off this rock.

"Jack, it is okay." Shazza said softly, her gaze sad as she stared at the poor girl.

"We should've stayed at the ship." Jack shook her head as she turned away to look out at the ever darkness surrounding them and the monster waiting to eat them.

Shazza walked over to the girl's side and placed her arm around her shoulder in comfort. Shazza leaned down and said softly in her ear. "Shh Jack. You know in ya heart we had to leave the ship, it wasn't safe for us there anymore."

"He died fast." Riddick said walking over to the pair, the teens tears were making him angry. Johns didn't deserve anyone crying over him. "And if we have any choice about it, that's the way, we should all go out."

Stepping behind Jack's other shoulder, he said lowly. "Don't you cry for Johns…Don't you dare."

With those final words he walked away and in the direction they left the cells in.

Harry was quick to follow his Hunter and fell into step with him. He kept his touch to his other side so it didn't hurt his mates sliver eyes.

With no other choice the rest of the group followed. Johns now gone and Fry making bad decisions all their hopes of getting off this planet rested with those two.

As they moved back the way they had come, Harry couldn't help saying. "I do hope not such a quick an end my mate."

Turning Riddick grinned darkly down at Harry. He knew his little mate had picked up on his final parting words to the girl. "A tail through the chest and teeth through the head isn't a way I'd want to go. But they don't need to know that Vixen. Don't want to scare the sheep too much. Not with us facing the last leg."

Harry smacked Riddick's arm gently shooting him a look. "They're not all sheep my Hunter. Okay only one of them and from what I can see one in need of getting lost."

Harry smirked darkly at the mental image of Fry getting lost in the dark before being picked up by one of the creatures. Shooting a look over his shoulder at Fry who was fluming behind the rest of the group, he couldn't help wishing one of the creatures would snatch her up and get her out of his

hair.

Nodding in agreement Riddick also shot a look back. He looked at everyone that was left from when they first started. Twelve landed on this planet and there were only eight of them now. More than he thought would make it but he put that was down to Harry saving their asses.

"Shit storm is coming Harry, its death row ahead of us. Even with that 'scent spell' of yours those things will be on us every step of the way to the Skiff." Riddick said seriously. Wanting his mate to understand the deep shit they were in.

Harry sighed. "I guessed as much Riddick, but it's the only way to the Skiff and we don't have enough light to look for another way."

"You have any magic tricks to help us out Vixen." Riddick asked looking down at Harry, tighten his hold on him and pulling him closer. He hated even having to ask knowing how tried his mate was, he was nearing on empty by the looks of it but had little choice, he was out of any ideas right now in getting eight people thought all this.

"In a pitch, maybe. But it would only be a onetime flash of flame. So a last resort thing for when we need it most." Harry said going through spells list in his head. "And that's if my magic holds up."

Thinking it over Riddick nodded. "When we get to the start of the canyon we'll rest up before heading in. I need to think."

"Whatever you think is best my Hunter, I can easily make a small light to hover over us for a while so we can rest." Harry nodded thinking it was for the best after their mad dash. Leaning his head against Riddick's arm as they walked, letting his mate that his tired bodies weary weigh. He silently thought that if there was anyone who could get them through this. It was Riddick.

'Thoughts'

"Talking"

Chapter 18

After all the drama was said and done. They made their way back. all of them could hear the creatures but with the light, they kept their distance from them thankfully. Fortunately, they hadn't run far from where they left the sled and with Riddick leading them it was taking less time to make their way back.

Not much was said between the survivors. Trailing through the darkness with their dim lights, most occurred in their own thoughts on the adverts that had taken place. Even though Johns wouldn't be missed by anyone of them it was the hard truth that some of them may end up as he did. A meal for the creatures.

Glancing towards his mate, Harry was glad Riddick was taking the lead from now on. Fry was in no way right for the job of protecting the group or leading them now or ever again. Plus only his Hunter even had a clue on where they are. Everything looked the same to them all, even he couldn't tell where they were.

He ignored the glare Fry was burning into the back of his head from the back of the group. He was too on edge to deal with her shit right now. He only hoped with Johns gone she'd soon follow him. Though he wanted to be the one to end her for fucking good. Harry let out a silent snort, he never used to be this cold about killing someone before but after so many years alone with no family around he just stop caring for those that he didn't know. He learned he couldn't protect everyone and that had been a hard lesson to accept. no more would he risked everything for those that just didn't want the help and in this group, there was only one he wouldn't piss on if she was on fire.

What his dad and papa would think of his coldness to killing people now but he knew that they would have ended her already for what she had done he liked to think.

The closer they got to where they left the cells the louder the screeches of the creatures grew. It sounded like a feeding frenzy with the creatures fighting and screeching at each other, it set the

group even more on edge as they knew what those things were fighting over.

Their steps became quicker and soon they were by the sled. Everybody worked as fast as they could in grabbing every light from it.

"Take everything, were leaving the sled at the canyon. No point dragging it anymore." Riddick ordered as he, Imam and Suleiman moved to the cells. while Riddick seized two for himself. Imam and Suleiman pulled the last two collectively.

Shazza, Jack and Ali assembled what was left of the bottles and flares from the sled, handing around what little they had let to everyone bar Riddick. Shazza looked to Harry as she strapped a flare onto her belt and saw he was at the edge of their light looking out into the darkness.

He had such a worried expression on his face that it troubled her. making sure the kids were safely by Imam she walking over to him halting by his side.

"Are you alright there Harry?" Shazza asked facing towards him.

"Mm… yeah, just a feeling I've got." Harry hummed. He'd been on edge since they came back. The bad feeling he's got wasn't fading and for the life of him, he couldn't pinpoint why.

"Good feeling I hope. I don't think we could take another bashing right now." Shazza half-joked.

Harry turned to face her smiling to ease her worry. "Don't worry Shazza. We'll get through this hell. I didn't save your ass just so it can be eaten later now did I."

They both looked at each other before bursting into laughter, startling the others. The tension subsided from their hearts.

"Come on. Let's get the hell out of here." Shazza grinned nodded towards the group.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Harry nodded and followed after her. but as he took a step to do so a shriek cause him to hesitate and half turn to look behind them. The grip on his light tightened so much he was at risk of breaking the bottle. Not that he cared, his main focus was on the beast flying just in the shadows wanting the meal that was just out of reach.

Eyes glued to its deadly form before it succumbs to its nerve and darting back into the darkness. Death was waiting in those shadows for the next unfortunate soul to be climbed and Harry was going to make damn sure it wasn't one of his group. Fry, he couldn't give two shits about if she was taken. She wasn't making it off this planet anyway. Be it by the creatures or his fangs. But the others he would make damn sure they saw the light of a new sunrise again.

He swore on Merlin, it will happen.

"Harry!" Imam called. "Its time to go!"

Harry turned away and walked back to the others. It was time to leave.

Riddick shoots a quick glance over at his mate, he could tell his mate was on edge and it took everything in him to not go over there and find out what had disturbed him so much. But again there was no time now to do what he desired. So, for now, he'd let it rest and discover out later what was bothering his Vixen. For now, they had to get out of this area before the creatures finished battling over Johns remains.

Turning to Imam Riddick nodded to him to get moving. The holy man nodded back to him before

saying something to Suleiman and they began to haul their Cells as quickly as possible. The others following in a brisk walk towards the canyon.

It took them less time than Harry reasoned it would get to the start of the canyon, he hadn't realized it was just beyond the boneyard but with everything that had happened time wasn't something one kept track of when something is trying to consume you.

He noticed he wasn't the only one on edge now, this was the last leg and then it was Skiff city.

Stopping not far from the entrance to the rocky canyon Harry felt the dread rush through him as he stared down the dark path that laid before them.

He could feel death hanging around them, even closer than before and it was making his magic hum underneath his skin to the threat. he wanted to cast a Patronus to get rid of the feeling but he that it would be a waste of magic plus he just couldn't trust at the moment. He also acknowledged he had to save it for when they really needed it. he may not have the gifts of a seer but even he took notice when it was buzzing under his skin so much that danger was ahead of them. Peering over the group he knew it wouldn't be an easy escape. Especially with them all tired from what they faced so far. With all the sprinting and near death experiences, they were all at their breaking point.

His Riddick appeared to know what he was thinking as he put down his harness near some rocks and turned to the others. Looking at the wary faces looking to him, Riddick announced. "Rest all of you. This last bit isn't going to be a walk in the park and there isn't going to be any more breaks after this."

"Why can't we just go now. why wait! Those things could get us at any moment and rip us to pieces for a meal!" Fry bellowed in anger. She didn't want to stay in the open like this with their asses hanging out. she wasn't going to end up like Johns.

"You want to go? Then go." Riddick waved his arm towards the foreboding looking canyon.

Fry gazed at the dark path, the sounds of the beasts seem to heighten and made her blood turn to ice in her veins. She turned back to Riddick, saying nothing out loud but begged with her eyes for him to follow her.

"That's what I thought." Riddick rumble, dismissively before turning and walking away. he had no time for her bullshit right now.

He didn't like stopping here himself but understood if he wanted both him and his mate to make it through this alive with the tagalongs they needed to rest and plan.

The tried group did as Riddick ordered and found themselves sitting on rocks around a small fire Harry made. They all needed their energy to make it through this last run.

Harry sat with them after setting the fire and looking over to his mate who stayed away from the group. He wanted to go over to him but Riddick looked deep in thought and he didn't want to disturb him.

"Shall we pray together," Imam asked, both his sons beside him. With their head bowed in prayer.

Shazza hesitated for a moment before nodded in agreement. A prayer wouldn't hurt, not with everything that has happened already since falling onto this cursed planet. Even though prayers hadn't saved her Zeke and losing him had nearly killed her, they had been together for so long it was hard to image he wouldn't be beside any longer. If she had been a weak-willed woman she

would have been angry at Harry for saving her life back at the cargo hold. But she wasn't a weak woman though and she will live on even if it meant without Zeke. He would have wanted her to keep fighting and making sure she got off this hell hole of a planet.

Bowing her head beside the children, Harry and Imam she listened to Imam prayer. It was soft and soothing words she felt a little at peace even if she couldn't understand his words or their meaning. She prayed to any god that she knew inside her mind. she prayed for the safety of the children. They shouldn't have to have to face such monsters in their lifetime. She prayed for Harry. If it wasn't for him a lot more of them would be dead. She knew in her heart she and Ail wouldn't be sitting here right now alive.

Finishing her little prayer she opened her eyes she hadn't known she even shut and looked up and straight at Fry who was in her line of view. She stood not far from them with her arms crossed over her chest and staring intently at Harry's back. The burning hate in those eyes worried Shazza. The way Fry had been acting towards him ever since they crashed was troubling.

Fry appeared to hate the young man and it had been growing, she first noticed hints of it when she forced Harry down the hole to find her Zeke. At the time she thought nothing of it as some people just disliked each other for no reason but this was different somehow. The hate and jealousy she noticed in those cold blue eyes every time they settled on Harry and Riddick together was intense and sent shivers down her spine.

Shazza knew petty jealousy, seen it enough when she let Zeke start courting her back home from a few males but what she was seeing in Fry's eyes was darker and more sinister than anything she had ever seen and she felt real fear for Harry's life.

Harry saved her life and had done nothing but help them get to this point. He was the glue that was holding them together and she knew that if anything happened to Harry before they got off this planet… Shazza swallowed the lump in her throat and looked over to where Riddick was.

She didn't think what Riddick would do if his mate was killed 'Stop it Shazza. It didn't bear thinking about.'

Shacking her head somewhat to clear her distressing thoughts she turned to Imam and listened to the rest of his prayer. Hoping it eased her troubled soul.

Harry was also praying alongside them, not to any Gods but to Mother Magic herself. He asked for her to watch over their small group. They didn't deserve to be trapped on this hellish planet with monster hunger for their flesh. He prayed for Imam and his last two boys. The poor family had already lost a son and brother to the darkness he will make sure they lost no one else.

He clearly had heard the sick plan Johns had come up with, he had wanted to use one of the kids as bait and it had pissed him royally off, so bad in fact he had to suppress his fangs. The sick bastard had been his mate kill so he held himself back. 'I'm glad that sick prick is gone, maybe when we get off this hellhole Imam and his sons can mourn their loss.' Harry thought having noticed that after the poor boys' death Imam kept Ali and Suleiman closer to his side or in his line of site at all times. Imams fear was clear. He dreaded losing his other sons to these creatures. Harry was going to do everything in his power to make sure the man's two sons made it out of this never-ending nightmare.

With that promise in his heart, Harry prayed to Mother Magic again. he wished his magic not to let him down in their hour of need. He needed the strength to do the spell over Jack one last time to cover her scent form those monsters the best he could. 'Though at this point I don't know how much help it's going to be.' He doubted. 'Those fucking things seem to be getting more intelligent

by the minute, they won't be fooled for long. Hopefully, this can confuse them enough by losing the blood scent to throw them off their hunt. I hope.'

Mouthing his last prayer Harry opened his eyes and looked around for his way would Hunter. Locating him not far, walking to what looked like was some old skeleton remains of one of the adult creatures. Most likely killed by own kin.

Food was food for them even if it was their own kin on this meal.

Noticing Imam standing out the corner of his eyes, he watched as he walked over to Riddick. Curiosity getting the better of him he quietly rose and followed.

Riddick's eyes ran over the damaged sun-bleached bones, spotting part of its head on the ground he bent down he picked it up. Placing it back on the head accurately, he secured it in position. Reaching out he placed his other hand on the other side and stared directly into the creatures face, studying it. Seeking for any type of weakness, glancing at where his hands were and then turning his silver eyes to the bladed head. Something clicked inside his mind.

"Blindspot," Riddick whispered to himself. Finally, he had the bastards weakness to exploit, but it was a risky one for sure. He would have to be right in its face to not be seen. But at this point, anything benefits him.

"Shall we pray together?"

Riddick spans around and finds Imam standing not far from behind him. He was not happy he had let the man so close without notice. To distracted. Something he wouldn't let happen again. Dropping the bone to the ground he said nothing as he made his way back over to the cells and sat down on a rock. He had to make sure they were tied tightly together with the little rope they had. Planning to ignore the holy man. Maybe he would leave him be as he worked. He wasn't interested in what he had to say.

Neither of them noticed Harry hiding behind the bones listening in.

"I have already prayed with the others," Imam said gently, dropping to his knees beside Riddick. His exasperation calm. "It is painless."

"It's fucking pointless." Riddick coldly said. Not caring how his words came across to the holy man.

Imam didn't let them affected him, instead, he stared calm back at the angry man. Taking no offenses to his words. "Because you do not believe in God, does not mean God does not believe in you…"

Riddick had heard enough. The rage he kept under lock and key had reached its boiling point. This Holy man had no right to think he didn't have any acknowledge about bloody god and its so-called help. Face set as cold as ice, only his silver eyes gave away the burning rage within as he growled out. "Think someone can spend half their life in the slam with a horse bit in their mouth and not believe."

Tightening the rope tight around the top of the last Cell he saw out the corner of his eye, he had the holy man's full attention. Fasting an all onto the main rope he continued. "Think he could start out in some liquor stores trashbin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and NOT Believe."

Letting out a sharp cold laugh that sent shivers down both Imam and the hidden Harry's backs. Resting his hand to his chest Harry's heart broke at hearing the hellish start Riddick had in life. All

this time the fates had punished his mate till it made the man standing before him now. Strong and harden he may be but he never crossed the line like others, namely Johns, to keep surviving.

"Got it all wrong, Holy Man…. I absolutely believe in God." Riddick finished the last knot on the Cells and glanced up into Imams face. Eyes like liquid mercury. "And I absolutely hate the fucker."

"He is with us none the less." Imam gently spoke. He didn't let what he was thinking a show on his face. Not wanting Riddick to see the pity and sorrow in his heart for his tale. He did not wish to upset the man further. Riddick had a hard start in the universe but no matter what there was skill kindness inside him. Maybe deep inside but he wouldn't keep them all alive if there wasn't a better man inside trying to get out. No matter how touched by darkness, blacker then what was already surrounding them he was he still had light in his heart.

"One of your boys is already dead." Riddick bluntly said frowning. Not caring that his words hurt the man only that he left him alone. "How much faith do you have left, father."

Though the words cut into his heart and brought the image of his lost son in the front of his mind. he didn't rise to the bait, for he knew it was Riddick way of deflecting attention away from himself. Such a strong man would never show weakness. So Imam didn't answer. Just continued to look into those hard liquid eyes. Whatever he was looking for he must have found as he nodded to Riddick and stood up.

"Faith is with us always even in times of heartbreak." Imam parting words hung in the air as he walked back to the others.

Riddick watched him leave before looking down at the power Cells. His mind on his past as he finished up. Two people knew about his past now and he didn't know how he felt about that. He hadn't spoken a lot to Harry about his childhood yet. He didn't want pity for how he came into his world clouding his mate's mind.

"Riddick."

Turning his head he spotted Harry stepping out from behind some bones where hed been hiding. "Eavesdropping again Vixen. It's starting to become a habit for you."

"He was only trying to help. My hunter." Harry softly spoke. Coming closer.

"Praying to some useless God isn't going to do shit for us, Harry. Even with your gifts, we'd be lucky to not lose two or three in that canyon. There is no God here. Only Death." Riddick growled, pissed. He turned away to look at the monsters waiting beyond the light. Worried he was going to lose the one thing that made him feel something other than rage in his life.

Harry sighed and wandered across to Riddick's side. Laying a hand on his back he could feel the tension in those firm muscles. His mate's body was wound up tighter than a spring.

"I believe in one thing Riddick," Harry whispered making Riddick turn and face him. Staring into each other's eyes. Riddick would never get tired of eyes those green eyes. The first colour he had seen in years.

"That we will make it out of here." Harry moved his hand up and caressed Riddick's cheek, his fingertips ghosting over the outline of his cheekbone. "Together."

Riddick surged up and forward, claiming Harry's lips with brutal force. Harry didn't even have time to gasp as his mouth was devoured with such hunger. Riddick put all the emotions he was feeling

into this one kiss. Love, worry, anger, care, and even fear. Harry took it all and gave everything in returned it, holding nothing back from his mate. The fear and concern he had felt when he to leave Riddick's side so he could fight Johns and the love and relief at his return to him.

The fire between them was like a supernova, it burned and set them alight with so much passion if they had been alone Riddick would have taken his Vixen right there in the sand. Sadly this wasn't the time nor place to let go as monsters screeches in the air pulled them back to reality.

Their lips parted and as they panted for breath they stared into each other's eyes. Breath mingling.

Slowly, catching their breath. Harry panted our amused. "Well… that was deafeningly an incentive to make it out of here alive and quickly."

Riddick glanced down and smirked smugly at his aroused mate face, it was disappointing that there wasn't enough time for foreplay. "We'll finish this later Vixen. Go do your mojo on the girl so we can get the hell out of here."

Harry laughed stepping away reluctantly from his Hunter. Missing his body heat already.

"I'll hold you to that Riddick," Harry said seductively before turning and strolling away. He made sure to put a little more sway in his hips, grinning cheekily when he heard a deep growl from behind. 'You're so much fun to tease my Hunter.'

What neither of them noticed was the burning rage in one Carolyn Fry's eyes at their affection display.

Seeing the pair together like that just pissed her right off, she would like nothing more than to shoot that fucking freak. Inside her dark little heart, pure rage roared through it. Seeing that fucking kiss made her sick to her stomach. It took everything inside her to stop her self going over there and ripping those two apart. that was it she must think about somehow getting rid of that disgusting freak of nature. Then Riddick would no longer be under its spell because in her mind there was no other way that freak would have Riddick attention and affection.

A man like him needs a strong, intelligent and beautiful woman.

Like her, not some freak that shouldn't have ever been born.

Hiding her rage deep inside since she didn't want the others knowing her thought she put on a blank face and followed Harry to the others.

With the group. Jack was sitting on a large rock, next to her was Ali and Suleiman with Imam now sitting beside his eldest. He wanted to be close to his boys after his talk with Riddick. Understanding there was still a chance to lose another child. Shazza sat opposite them with an arm resting over her knees. Their bottles of light in the center of the group alongside Harry's mini campfire.

They were all taking the time to rest and get their stamina back for the run ahead.

Stopping beside Shazza Harry said. "Jack, come here, I need to block your scent again before we do this."

"Okay." She nodded, slightly nervous about what was to come even if he had done this a few times already, it just felt so strange and this time she can see what he was doing. Getting up she walked to him and stood in front of him.

Imam looked up, curious. "What are you speaking of my son?"

"Yea. I'm confused here. What in the world is 'scent blocking.'?" Shazza asked. The only thing that came to mind was those lotions you used to stop BO. But they were called scent blocking.

"I didn't say anything before. But I used some of my power to temporarily block Jack's scent to protect her from the creatures tracking." Harry explained. Though he soon regretted it went Fry blow up.

"You didn't think to say anything before!" she shouted. The anger she had been suppressing since seeing the kiss came rushing back to the surface. In her mind, she was thinking she had him now. With his information, the others would surely finally see that this freak couldn't be trusted and shouldn't be anywhere near normal people like them, especially her and Riddick. "Maybe we could have avoided people dying out here if you had spoken back at the ship instead of keeping it hidden like a coward!"

"well, Fry…" Harry said tone set to how he would speak to a small child. Though more patronizing. "I didn't think it would be very smart idea to say anything as we had a drugged up Merc hanging around. A man who would do anything or use anyone to get his payday. So what do you think would of have happened if he knew I was more an I seemed. Huh? The man already wanted me to join up with him. Going on and on about being the best hunters around if I became his so-called partner. Johns had lost his mind way before we landed here and I wasn't going to give him an inch of info on me."

Fry saw the others nodding in agreement with him and knew her plan wasn't working, thinking quickly she fired back. "Then why the hell didn't the so-called scent blocker work. We all heard Riddick say they had been nose open for her since leaving the ship!"

"Because it doesn't last for hours on end you bloody stupid bitch! Not without something powering it and they weren't just going for jack or have you forgotten Paris already." Harry growled at her. The bitch was getting on his last nerve and if she wasn't careful he was going to rip her head off.

"That's another thing I want to know about. I saw a green light back there. I thought it was the flare at first but it came from out where he had run off to! What the hell was that, huh! And don't bother denying it wasn't something to do with you cos you were missing when the flares were lit!" Fry snarled right back at Harry. Her finger pointing at him. She knew the freak had something to do with the strange things going on and she wasn't going to let him get away with it.

"I don't know whether to be flattered that you pay so much attention to me or freaked the fuck out by it. Fry." Harry scoffed. A pained look on his face at the idea. The bitch was trying her hardest to get the group to turn on him and from the look in their eyes, it wasn't working. He had enough hiding and with what was coming up he needed to use everything he had at his disposal if he wanted to keep those he cared about alive.

"You didn't answer me. What the hell is going on!" Fry gritted out.

"Magic."

The group looked at him in surprise. No believing their ears.

"Magic my son?" Imam asked his words producing images from the past long forgotten back to the front of his mind. 'Could it be.'

"huh?" Jack looked back and forth at the others, confused.

"Are you fucking kidding me!" Fry bellowed. Throwing her arms in the air. "There is no such thing as magic, who are you trying to fool. And if by some miracle you possess such an ability why didn't you help when everything went to shit instead of sitting on your ass."

"Oh, I don't know Fry maybe because I'm not the fucking GODMOTHER! I can't wave a wand and make everything better! It works when it god-damn wants to work or have you forgotten what I said back at the ship when I told everyone about my creature sides and abilities!" Harry roared. His fist clenched. There was no way he was going to mention the killing curse. She would accuse him of murder and being after them all to kill them or some shit.

"It's magic, what you used back at the ship?" Jack asked nervously the tension the fight was causing was getting to her.

Harry gritted his teeth and took a deep breath through his mouth and out through his nose. Doing that a few time to calm the rage he had inside. He wouldn't be surprised if his eyes were tainted red from all this fighting. He didn't want to blow up at the kids and make them even more scared so after a few more breaths he answered her. "Yes Jack, I used my magic to place a thin shield over your body that filtered your scent so the smell of blood couldn't be scented. I placed it over you again after losing Paris so I can only do it once more."

"Why is that?" Jack asked she was filled with questions about this magic thing. She wanted to ask more but knew now wasn't the time. Hopefully, she can ask later.

"It's a long story one we sadly don't have time for but short of it is I've been asleep for a long time and when I did wake I noticed my magic acting strangely. What once came easily to me is now not performing as it should. Why I have no clue but feeding on my mate seems to help level it out for a short time." Harry explained. "Also Jack you don't have magic yourself so the spell has nothing to hold onto to recharge it so it fades quite quickly. If I had the time I would have made it into a charm for you to wear sadly that would take me a day to do."

"Wow what spell is it?" Jack asked awed.

"It was used for working with magical animals. Dragons and unicorns as such." Harry smiled seeing the awed look on the group's faces. Suleiman having translated to Ali what they were talking about.

"So feeding on Riddick helped you recharge or something?" Shazza asked. "Would feeding on anyone help?"

"Yes and no, you see I can satisfy my hunger with anyone but it wouldn't be the same and I would need to take more and more often but with Riddick I only need a few mouthfuls to become full and for some reason it makes my magic stable for longer." Harry tapped his chin in thoughtfully he had question himself as to why Riddick blood helped with his magic. when he had been feeding on Mac and Jaz it had only helped a little. He really needed to look into his library trunk that was in his bag. 'Thank Merlin Papa made that special locator spell on my bag or I really would have lost everything by now.' Turning to the group. "Luckily I fed back at the ship when I did. It would be dangerous to do so now."

They all looked over to the start of the canyon, it darkness hiding the danger inside though Harry could smell the many creatures inside waiting for their meal to come to them.

They soon turned back though when Fry sneered at them. "This is all bullshit. I can't believe your all falling for this crap hook line and sinker."

"What is your problem Fry! If Harry can use his gifts to help us out of this mess I can't see the problem." Shazza snaped. Giving her a hard look. Fry looked like she was losing her mind with everything that's been happening, she wouldn't be shocked if that was the case. She hadn't been acting quite right since Johns spilled her secret.

"If he has all this power why did he keep it secret for so long huh!?" Fry hissed, knowing she was speaking the truth, the freak was hiding to save his own skin maybe even bewitching the group to follow his lead. 'That's it he must have cast some spell to turn them against me.' Fry was taken from her thoughts by Shazza.

"You heard him yourself. Johns was unpredictable you had no way of knowing what the guy would have done if he knew about Harry. Or have you forgotten him turning on you!" Shazza defended. Pissed off with Fry's attempts at undermining Harry at every turn, he had done so much for them with nothing in return. 'God damn it, he saved my life and no way in hell am I going to turn my back on that now or ever.'

To stop the arguing from continuing Imam stood and addressed Harry. "Are you part of the magicae chans my son?"

Everyone shifted to stared at Imam in confusion. Harry himself looked bewildered. "No, imam. what is a magicae clan's?"

"It's a clan of magic users. Witch and Wizards that visit different places all over, be it planets and stations for a while before moving on. Those that know of them think they are brother/sister clan to the elementals. I met one once on my home planet when I was a small child of Ali's age. He used what he called magicae to pour us water for our drinks and turn a chair into a puppy for me to play with while he talked with my father." Imam smiled at the memory before carrying on. "He did many great things in his time spent with us, though I remember him growing increasingly tired if he overused his power."

"Magic," Harry said in disbelief. "He really used my type of magic?"

Harry feel breathless, his heart pulsing a mile a minute with this new knowledge. If what Imam said was true and the man had no reason to lie about something like this, then there were others like him still out there existing in this time.

He wasn't truly alone.

'Thoughts' "Talking"

Chapter 19

Eyes wide, Harry barely took in a breath when he did it was stuttered and left him feeling breathless as shock race through him, his mind was going a mile a minute as he tried to understand what he just heard, all this time has passed and there were still wizards and witches in the universe. It was near to hard to believe after he saw how dead earth had become he didn't think for one minute there were any magical people left. He hadn't run into any or felt any magic anywhere so this was a shock to the system.

"Yes. He spoke much of his travels with my father. The clearest thing I can recall was him saying something about his and his kin search for some kind of key or seed that they must find. I sadly in my youth paid it no mind as he was speaking to father and I was too happy to be playing with the puppy he made appear, He never did explain what that was to father thought it quite strange." Imam told looking to Harry to see if those words meant anything to him.

"Key? Seed?. I've no clue what that's all about, never heard anything on that in the years before I fell asleep. But to know my kind still, alive to this day. I can't believe it. I thought they had all die out when I woke to earth being nothing more than a barren world." Harry whispered the last part. The news was hitting him harder than he estimated. To think there were wizards and witches travelling among the stars. It filled him with some hope.

"Why haven't I ever heard about them? Have you Shazza?" Jack asked, turning to Shazza. Braking Harry from his thoughts.

"No. Though there were rumors here and there about beings that could use energy to their will I thought it was all fairy tales told to kids." Shazza answered running a hand through her hair.

"That is because they keep themselves hidden so they not to be used or abused for their gifts. It's only through my father I ever meet such a person." Imam explained.

"So you haven't met a wizard or witch since waking Harry?" Shazza asked him.

"No." Harry shakes his head. "I thought I was the only one left after waking from my sleep on earth. It was dead of any magic or life. I thought they all died off. If it wasn't for Maz and his crew I wouldn't have gotten off the planet."

Imam and Shazza both looked at him in sympathy, they both knew earth had been abandoned for centuries. Only salvage crews visited the planet that once held so much life for relics and old tech to sell.

Fry, on the other hand, couldn't believe that they were all fine with the bastard being more of a freak than before. A bloody wizard of all things. Didn't they know things like energy users were meant to be feared, everyone she had met had been taken down quickly, they were too dangerous to be left walking around free, and if wizards were real they should be more concerned, not making bloody friends with the freak. From what she had seen in the past they could make you do whatever they commanded with a wave of a stick.

"What the hell! If he's a wizard wouldn't the others be alive and at the skiff instead out here in this hell hole with these things waiting to eat us." She shouted making them all jump at the sheer volume of her voice.

Gritting his teeth, Harry stored the information Imam had given him, for now, to go over later, hopefully, asking him more on it than. He so wanted to talk more with the man but he had a bitch from hell to deal with first. It was time to put her in her rightful places in this group. the bottom.

"Get this through that fucking tiny mind of yours, Fry," Harry growled taking a step towards her. With each word, he took a step towards her until he was right in her face. "I. am. Not. GOD!"

"Do you think for a minute that we would still be on this stupid planet if I had the power to get us off of it! Have you been listening at all to anything I've said in the last few hours or are you to thick! My magic isn't working as it should be! GOT THAT! Now shut that piehole you call a mouth and leave me alone you crazy ass bitch before I ripe your bloody head off!" Harry hissed like a snake in her face. Eyes flashing red and fangs visible. He saw the real pure fear in her eyes as they stared wide-eyed at him, she was scared shitless of him and he didn't care one bit. She pushed him to far this time and he wasn't putting up with her bull shit anymore, not when they still had the canyon to get through. He was inches away from ripping her apart and she knew that.

Suddenly echoes and screeches appeared from all around them, the creatures were becoming excited with the intense sounds the group was making. They could smell the bloodlust and fear coming from their prey.

Ali whimpered and burrow deeper into his brother's side in terror. While Suleiman held him tightly looking around at the surrounding darkness, fear evident in his eyes.

"I do believe we should make haste," Imam announced moving to stand behind his boys, protectively placing his hands on their shoulders.

"I second that," Shazza nervously said. Having never seen Harry so angry since meeting him not even after the hole. she didn't fault him for it, he had every right to be pissed with Fry always on his case.

"Right. Jack come here, we need to get this shield over you." Harry directed, moving away from Fry having no more time for her. 'I'll deal with her later but for now, we need to get the hell out of here.'

Jack nodded shakily, moving to stand in front of him as she had done back at the ship.

Closing her eyes again she felt the same strangeness come over her again, she asked. "It still feels weird."

Harry chuckled. "It will, you're aren't accustomed to the feeling of magic. So it will be strange."

The others, bar Fry, looked on in awe as a light glow covered Jack's entire body before fading into her skin.

"Pretty." Ali smiled his face lit up at the light display.

Imams head shoot from watching Jack and Harry and look down at his youngest. Imam beamed with pride as he said. "Ali, well done, yes it is 'pretty.'"

"Is that his first word in common?" Shazza asked once the light show was over.

"Yes. I have been teaching it to them as we made our journey to our new home. Ali had more trouble than his bothers." Imam placed his hand on Ali's turbaned head.

Harry smiled happily at the little boy. Seeing the joy and pride on Imams face nearly made Harry wish for a little one of his own. 'Maybe in a few years, I and Riddick will be in the right place that it's safe enough to have a few little ones running around.' Harry thought, grinning as he images telling Riddick he was with child. He hoped he had a camera handy though he could always us his pensieve instead if he didn't have one on hand.

Clearing his thoughts of the, for now, Harry turned his attention back to the group in time to see imam hug Ali and give his praises for his first word that wasn't a name. and at that moment Harry knew he would do anything to make damn sure Imam didn't lose his last two boys to these beasts.

If there was to be any blood spilled tonight it was going to be the blue blood of theirs. "If you're all done playing," Riddick said stepping into their light causing them all to turn to face him. "It's time to go."

Harry's happy mood fled at those words and those around him grew tense. Fear growing in them as it was time to run for their lives.

0-0-0-0-0-0

Imam and Harry dragged the Cells to the start of the canyon and set them down, turning their attention on Riddick to hear the plan. They needed one with all the creatures inside waiting for them.

"Only see one way." Riddick pointed straight down the canyon. "That way."

Everyone gazed at the dark canyon, two rock cliffs faced each other, they were so high that none bar Riddick could see where they finished, the gap between the two was not wide but maybe that will change once they were going through. They had been lucky the sand-cat fit the first time but no one of them remembers looking around when they went through.

"Only one clear path through," Shazza said tensely. hating how scared she felt, this was it the last part of their journey.

Both Harry and Riddick could smell the fear pouring off the group, though some held up better than others. Especially when the echoes grow louder in the dark.

"It's the only way off this rock." Riddick turned back to face Imam and Shazza. "Just keep the kids

between you both at all times."

Imam and Shazza nodded in agreement moving to Jack, Suleiman and Ali placing them in the middle of them, Suleiman staying close to his father and brother with a bottle in his shaky hand.

Tightening his bag strap over his shoulder, not want to lose it at this point after all he never knew when it would come back. Harry made his way to Riddick's side.

"You ready for this Vixen?" he asked looking down at his beautiful little mate.

"As I'll ever be Riddick," Harry said raising a hand to touch Riddick's cheek, whispering. "Watch you're back my hunter. I didn't wait this long for you to lose you now."

Riddick knew his mate was concerned with him being in the back with no back up as he was leading them through. "You watch your front, don't take any chances and use whatever you need to, to stay alive. I mean it, Harry. I have plans for you later."

"I will Riddick," Harry whispered. There was no way he was going to lose to these monsters in the dark, not now.

With one last kiss to see them though they broke apart and Harry moved to the front of the group, bottle held high up above his head.

"What about the cells?" Fry asked her tone tense giving away how nervous she was. As she watched Riddick walk towards where they had been placed at the back of the group.

"I'll take those," Riddick said looking at her before turning to look at his mate and share one last look. 'Don't take any chances, Harry, be safe.' Riddick thought before he pulled his goggles over his eyes, holding the cell line behind him he ordered. "Move."

"Are you sure you're kept up?" Fry asked not happy he was taking all the cells but at the same time, she was concerned he was putting his life in danger like this.

Harry gritted his teeth, he so wanted to slap the bitch to get her fucking eyes off HIS mate. But knowing this wasn't the time to let his emotions get the better of him again. It was too dangerous right now. 'Later. Can let loose later.'

"MOVE!" Riddick roared to get the sheep moving. Harry shot off into the canyon. The torch lighting the way for the others to follow. They stayed tight together, Imam and Shazza keeping Ali and jack covered in light with Suleiman behind the two kids. Fry had moved to the left of Harry wanting to be leading but she fell behind when the echoes become louder, not wanting to risk her life to be the leader.

Running towards a bend in the canyon when a swam of hatchlings whipped around the corner, heading straight towards them. Harry quickly raised the torchlight to part them like the red sea. Close behind him he heard Shazza whimper in hear. It wasn't long ago these things nearly killed her. everyone bunched up behind him when some of the hatchlings got to close and set themselves on fire from the touches. Causing Riddick behind them to dodge the little fireballs that came straight at him.

"IT'S NOT ENDING!" Fry screamed in fear as more and more kept coming, closing around them. They were getting so close to her that she felt them tugging on her clothes.

"They must be looping around like before!" Shazza shouted out.

"HARRY!" Riddick roared dodging more hackling fireballs. "Burn the fuckers!"

Harry heard his mate loud and clear. They were going to die if they didn't pass through this shit storm and soon. Looking at the torch in his hand he came up with an idea. Forcing his magic down his arm into his hand, raising up the torch more into the swam he will his power into the flame of the bottle, raising his other hand to the torch he let the flame jump between the two. Back and forth it grows in strength. Soon his whole hand had become engulfed in flames the others behind him looked in awe as Harry's skin didn't burn and as hatchlings stared away from it giving them a little more room to move. Without getting hit. Letting his magic build inside Harry took a deep breath, Harry prayed. 'Let this work.'

"AHHH!" Harry yelled as he released all his power into his flaming hand. With a blast the magic shoot forward, the fire was like that of a flame thrower, consuming everything in its path.

The smell of burned flesh and screeches of pain rang through the air. It sent shivers down the group's spines as they covered their mouths from the smell, it was very hard to breathe for the moment it was near choking them. When it all dies down, Harry leaned forward panting in exhaustion. His hand burned at having used so much element magic through it. He had to clench it to get some feeling back into it.

Around them, charred corpses and the sounds of screeches grow louder as the hatchling that got out of the way in time to not be killed but still badly hurt were grab by adults and eaten. Riddick gritted his teeth in frustration as he could tell how tired his mate was but they need to keep moving before they were attacked again. with regret, he called to harry. "Harry, we have to move."

Looking back at Riddick he nodding but doing so made him stumble forward in dizziness. Before he could fall Imam and Shazza grabbed his arms and held him up. both looked at him in concern. Shazza asked. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just took it out of me for a moment. Thanks." Harry panted to them, standing straight with their help he pushed the wariness and exhaustion aside. There be time later to rest. "Come on."

They once again pushed onward having survived their first wave. Sadly their ordeal was far from being over. Suddenly something started to fall upon them, like rain. The scent of death increased in Harry's nose and he felt something wet and thick land on his cheek. Looking down at his hand that he held up Harry's eyes widen when blue liquid fell on it and ran down his arm. 'What in the!'

"DO NOT LOOK UP!" Riddick roared out pissed and Harry looked back to see Shazza hadn't listened, she was slowing down as she watched in shock as the beasts killed each other above them.

"They're killing each other!" she called out in warning before Riddick knocked her forward back into a run and out the way of a creature's body that fell right where she had been standing.

"KEEP moving!" Riddick shouted at her pushing her onwards.

They all begin to dodge the falling bodies. Making it into a deadly obstacle course. Just when Harry thought it couldn't get any worse. It did.

As around another bend their way was blocked by bones, the ones they had hit on their out with the sand-cat. What made it worst was more of the creatures kept on falling and not just around them now but on the goddamn bones as well, it was making it near impossible to see a way through.

"Riddick!" Harry called out. he couldn't see a way through. "What way?!"

"Move!" Riddick yelled coming up behind them fast. "Keep moving. There's a way!"

He shoots out in front of them, when he came to the block he dropped the cell line and started to remove some of the bones out of the way. Imam was quick to his aid and helped him as Harry and Shazza used their lights to keep the creatures off their backs. Fry's eyes were wide with panic as she moved closer to the kids for security, she kept looking up at the fighting creatures praying none fell on her. She near jumped out of her skin when one did.

Riddick and Imam cleared the way quickly, moving as much as they could, some pieces were just too big to shove out the way. They still would have to crouch down and climber over some of the bones but they can now get through. Riddick reaches down and grabs the cell line again before going through first, dragging them behind him. Imam went next pulling Ali with him and helping him.

"GO GO!" Harry called pushing Shazza and Jacks backs so they go under. Looking back to Fry he yelled to get her attention. "Fry, come on! Move!"

She immediately moved over and crouch under after the other two but not before throwing Harry a dirty look. Harry ignored it and instead he called to Suleiman. "Suleiman, quickly."

Suleiman started to crawl under when one of the creatures that laid dead next to the bone tunnel suddenly moved, it had enough life to know food is nearby with its hunger so great it shoots its clawed hand forward and dug its claws into the boy's leg.

"AHHH!" Suleiman cried, fear and pain racing through his mind, grabbing the bone arch in pain, he tried to kick its hold off his leg. Calling loudly for his father.

"Suleiman!" Imam cried, reaching over the bones to grab a hold of his son. His hold tight as visions of his other son death appeared in his mind. Shazza ran other to help, leaving Jack to look after Ali. The girl moved to follow but Shazza shoots her a look to stay.

Harry acted quickly, pulling a blade from behind his back he started slashing at the creatures arm. Cutting into its flash as he tried to make it let the boy go. He sneered "Get off him!"

The creature cried out in pain but didn't let its grip lessen, its hunger stronger than its pain.

"Fucker! Let him GO NOW!" Harry roared slash down into its bone. Sulieman screamed in pain as its crews dung into his flesh. In his panic he let his bottle go to grab his fathers arms.

It slammed into the ground shattering and as its flame touched the liquid on the grouch it caused a large flash of fire, big enough to make the creature finally let the boy go to move away from the burning pain. This gave Harry the opportunity he needed. When it rolled onto its side. He quickly shoots forward and sliced its throat. Its cries fell silent and Harry sighed in relief.

"Pull him through!" He ordered to the others, his eyes darting around them to see if the scent of Sulieman's blood drew more creatures to them. It was so heavy in the air that he could nearly taste it on his tongue. He didn't have any time to put a scent block on the teen. They had to move and fast.

Imam quickly pulled his son through the hole and right into his arms dragging the boy quickly under the bones to their side and away from the dead creature. Both adults began to look over his injury. Imam seeing the bloody gash on the leg started tearing the bottom of his robes, making makeshift bandages.

Putting the shiv away Harry crawled through quickly, not happy to have his back being so unprotected. Once beside them, he looked up to see Riddick had moved way ahead of them. He

didn't panic seeing his mate so far away though, he knew if Riddick kept stopping for them he wouldn't be able to keep going again. Not with the weight of those Cells, no matter how strong his mate was on a good day, they had all been through too much with little food or water and dragging that much weight would be draining his strength quickly.

Over by Jack and Ali, the little boy dropped her hand and rushed over to his family, worry for his bother clear on his little face at seeing his brother attacked. Leaving Jack all on her own as she stood there and stared in shock, all she could do was watch the others try to bandage the bleeding leg. Fry was nearest to her but soon moved closer to the bigger light source not caring that the teen was left alone in the dark.

Finally taking her eyes off the scene in front of her, she turned to look for Riddick, her eyes widen when she saw him getting further away from them. 'No. Please no, Riddick, come back.' Those words race through Jack's mind, the man she saw as her hero was leaving them behind. Her breath caught in her throat, panic eating away at her insides as in her mind as the only thing that was keeping her safe from the monsters was leaving her behind because he didn't notice them no-longer following.

"Riddick, wait!" Jack yelled. "Riddick!"

Harry's head darts up when he heard her shout and noticed straight away she was alone in the open with a low light touch. His eyes shoot upwards when a creature called out and he saw it dive down towards the girl.

"Jack Down!" Harry cried in fear. Bolting from the other's he runs full pelt towards her. Jack heard him and looked up.

"AHH!" she yelled seeing the beast heading towards her, quickly she scrambled underneath a large bone structure dropping her light as she did so. Using it as a shield as she desperately attempted to escape the monster that landed on it and was now above hitting the bone with its head.

Harry kept on running towards her, picking up her light as he dashed by, the creature hit the top of the bones, again and again, it started to really hammer against it with its bladed head. Trying desperately to get at its meal. Hunger driving it.

"Shit!" Harry roared darting as close as he dared, shiv in one hand and Jack's flashlight in the other he started to slash with the shiv at the creature's side and burning it with his light, but nothing made it back off. "Get off her!"

Shaaza eyes widen in fear for Jack and she quickly ran over to help Harry. Swinging her touch flame at the creature trying to back it back off as well, she screamed. "GET AWAY you bastard!"

"Riddick!" Harry screamed in pain when the tail slammed into him sending him flying into a wall. The blade on the end barely missed his body but it caught his touch causing him to drop it. Breaking the flashlight and making him cast in darkness causing the creature to hiss at the easier meal in front of it.

Riddick turned sharply at his mate cry. Seeing his Vixen down a great rage burned through him. Pulling his goggles down to hand off his neck Riddick dropped the cells line and raced back to the others. He let out a great roar that caught the creature's attention.

Slightly dazed from the hit Harry looked up in time to see the beast turn from him a screech out a challenge, shooting into the air it flows towards his Hunter as he charges forward.

They met halfway across a small clearing of bones. Riddick used his speed to catch the creature's arms, holding its clawed hands away. the distances also kept the bladed head away so it couldn't hit him.

Its teeth snapped inches from his faces. If he hadn't been using all his strength holding it back he would have commented on its bad breath instead he twisted the right arm till the bone broke, with one arm out of commission Riddick used the time to creature screamed in pain to pull out his shiv and slash at its underbelly.

The beast reared back with more screeches of pain. Riddick dropped its arm and quickly pulled out his other shiv, slashing in an X across its belly, the skin slip apart and its entrails spilled to the ground. With a few more slashes it fell to the ground, withering in agony. Riddick slammed his blade's into the grouch and grab its head, with a twist he snapped its neck.

Bending down he picked up his shiv's and turned to look at the shocked faces of Shazza and Jack who had gotten out from under the bones. He said calmly. "He DID not know who he was fuckin' with."

'Merlin, that's sexy as hell.' Harry thought breathlessly. He was quickly helped up by little Ali, who had rushed over to his side.

Riddick did a quick glance over Harry, making sure he wasn't hurt by his slam into the wall. Seeing his mate smile, his eyes clear and filled with want for him, he felt the rage that had fuelled him in his fight faded back into a simmer once more.

Imam got Suleiman to his feet and helped him over to the others. When Harry looked down at the bandaged leg he knew the boy was going to need a lot of aid to walk, let alone run. He then checks on Shazza and saw she had Jack in her arms. Both shaken by the attack. His eyes lead him to Fry, the bitch hadn't help once while Jack was in trouble instead staying where it was safest, now she was looking over at Riddick with a longing look that just pissed him right off. 'That woman is blind anything but Riddick and even there she can't see he is not interested.'

Abruptly the echoes and cries rose around them, it was time to get moving again, they had held still for too long and didn't have light to spare for another stop.

Picking up the cells Riddick set off again into the night. Taking point he leads them through the canyon now. If they weren't in so much danger Harry would of enjoying the view of his strong mate right about now, that lovely firm backside was something that should be appreciated. He still remembered the feeling of those cheeks when his mate was claiming him back at the settlement. He felt himself stiffen slightly and quickly jolted his thoughts away from those images. 'Merlin, get your mind out of the gutter. You can't afford to have your body reacting like a horny teen right now or your luck will run out.'

To ease his heated blood he looked over the others to check how they were holding up. Shazza had Ali and Jack beside her, her eyes skimming around for any threats. A shape gasp made him turn to see Fry looking fearful up at the edges of the canyon, he quickly followed her eyes to see what spoked her. A creature was crawling along the edge, following them. Not for long as it was interrupted by another one appeared and started a fight. Turning back to Fry he called out evenly. "Keep up Fry. We're not stopping."

She sent him a dirty look before doing as he said. 'She needs to go. I've lost count of how many dirty looks she sent me in the last hour alone.'

Another gasp pulled him from his thoughts as this one was of pain. Harry frowned as he watched

Imam help his oldest son to run, the poor lad was struggling to keep up. Abruptly Suleiman's leg collapsed under him causing him to cry out as he fell to the ground. Harry made his way over as them as Imam fell beside his son trying to get him up again.

Stopping beside them Harry reach down to help the lad up, seeing he couldn't put any weight on the leg Harry turned to Imam. "You have to carry him, Imam, I don't think his leg can take any more."

"Of course," Imam said determined to help his son through this. With that Imam handed his touch to Suleiman before picking him up bridal style, he will carry his son to the end if he had to, he wasn't losing any more children to this planet. Harry followed beside them on high alert for anything.

They all came to a stop not long after when something started to drop down from overhead, at first Harry thought it was blood again but the scent was clear and when he realized it wasn't warm he looked up with his hand out. droplets fell onto his palm and face clearing the blood away.

"Oh Merlin, No." Harry cursed. It was raining of all things. It fell harder and harder till it was a downpour and all Harry could feel was despair. The flames in their hands started to stutter and flicker as they became wet. Shazza and Jack tried to save theirs in panic by putting their hands over it as much as they could but it was no good, the water was dimming their light.

The rain came down on them heavily drenching them to the bone within moments and their spirits fell with it.

Harrys and the other's heads dart towards Riddick when the man let out a deep mocking laugh as he turned to face them, water running down his face. "So, where the hells your god now?"

Imam grimaced at his words but said nothing as Harry quickly herded them to the canyon wall for cover. Harry said. "Quick take cover, save the light!"

Once against the wall Shazza and Jack relight one of the touches that had died out, socking the coth in more alcohol so it would catch even being so waterlogged. They were down to three now and all were less than half full now. Something that troubled them all but none voice it.

Harry gently pushed Ali over to the girls so he could help Imam put tighter bindings around Suleiman's leg, the wound was bad, he'd been cut all the way down to the bone but there was nothing they could do for it now, not out here with the creatures waiting for them and their lights almost gone. Binding it tightly to stem the bleeding was all they could do for now. Nodding to Imam once they did the best they could he stood and looking around as rain descended.

There was no way their light would survive in this downpour. Fear gripped Harry tightly in its claws as he realized how deep in shit they were right now.

"Riddick" Harry called trying to keep the alarm from his voice as he faced his mate. "Are we close?! Please tell me its right there. Please"

Riddick didn't answer and the echos around them grew louder making Harry fall back against the wall next to Suleiman for support. The fear he felt down the hole was nowhere near what he was feeling now and it was near crippling him. Harry called again begging for hope. "Just tell me that the settlement is right there!"

"We won't make it," Riddick spoke lowly, watching monsters in front of them battle each other. There was no clear path through, not with so little light.

Harry gritted his teeth while despair washed over him at those words. There was no way they'll make it to the skiff without more light, they would lose someone trying with him and Riddick being the only fighters, his mate couldn't fight carrying the cells though leaving only him and there was no way he could protect everyone. Bowing his head his hands fisted as he fought with himself.

'Do not give up now my son, there is always a way through the darkness you just have to find the light.' The voice of his papa spoke inside his mind followed by an image of his

papa holding a candle in a dark room, waving his hand over it and lighting it with wandless magic.

Those words sent peace through him, taking a breath he looked up to see what he could work with when his eyes landed on Fry who was staring at him. He felt a jolt of fear and confusion at her expression, she had a creepy smug look like all her birthdays had come at once. Then her eyes went upwards and a please look crossed her face.

She was looking at something above him and suddenly all the hairs on his body stood up and fear gripped him. 'No.'

His head shot up but it was too late he saw a flash of grey flash as a tail wrap around his neck before it pulled him right off the ground and up the wall.

"RIDDICK!" Harry screamed as he clawed at the tail kicking his legs as he was dragged away. but it was no use the creature kept on pulling him up. "RIDDICK!"

"HARRY!" Riddick span around and rushed to his mate's side but it was too late and the last sight he had of his mate was those panicked filled green eyes before he disappeared over the top of the canyon.

"HARRY!" Riddick roared in despair and rage slamming his fists into the cliff wall again and again.

"HARRRYYY!"

'Thoughts' "Talking"

Chapter 20

Cries of anguish carried across the echoing canyon, the group was in shock one minute Harry had been standing there the next he was taken, it happened so quickly no one had time to grab him, only watch on helplessly as he was dragged away.

By the cliff wall, left on his knees, Riddick's was in shock, everything felt numb. The very air was like thick fog around him his mind as his heart stopped beating inside his chest. His silver eyes remained glued toward the cliff edge where Harry had disappeared over as he keeled on the rocky ground in front of it, his bruised hands throbbed in pain he didn't feel any of it.

His mind played every image of his mate, Harry had become one of the closest souls to him since childhood, he had opened the door to his heart and made himself at home in its center. The first god damn thing that had been good in his life was taken away from him just like everything else.

Riddick's pain was overwhelming he couldn't think of anything else, he didn't hear the others screaming his Vixen's name, calling out into the darkness for him to come back, the sobbing of Ali or the tears falling from the eyes of Shazza and Jack. None of it registered to him, not the cries, not the rain, not even the creatures that screeched their hunger.

"HARRY!" Riddick roared out in rage into the night. The beast inside was caught up in its rage and despair at the loss of their mate, they had only just found days ago on this hellish planet after looking for so long. It wanted to kill everything, to destroy the bastards till there was none left on this fucking planet. Their mutilated corpses spread around him, blood staining the earth beneath his feet and their cries of pain feeling the air, that was the only thing that would calm the beast inside.

Both man and beast wanted the pain to stop, to no longer feel they're heartbreaking.

The 'what ifs' appeared in his mind's eyes, over and over again, what if he had done what he had wanted from the start, just grabbed Harry as soon as darkness had fallen and made their way to the skiff by themselves, leaving behind the weaklings.

Harry, his captivating heart wouldn't of let him do that, he had been too kind, too compassionate to those that were in need. Who couldn't defend themselves and because of this, it had cost them both.

The image of his mate when he first laid eyes on him appeared before his eyes. He could clearly see those bewitching emerald eyes staring back at him. They always felt like his mate was looking right into his soul and had found him worthy to be his mate. Those deep red lips that had begged to be kissed over and over again, they had smiled so much at him it had filled him with joy that had been missing in his life for so long. When they had been in bed together for the first time he had loved running his hand through those silky locks that flowed down like a waterfall down his back, he had never met someone with such dark hair, it had reminded him of the Ravens he had seen as a kid, their ink-black wings soaring through the sky when he had spoked them. His nose picked up the hint of Harry's scent that still lingered in the air, the most pleasant scent he had ever come across and it was being washed away by the rain.

He would never get to experience the pleasure and joy his mate brought into his life, his heart and love were gone. His world of colour was merely filled with darkness now.

Riddick clenched his eyes shut and gritted his teeth, trying in vain to burn that lovely image of his mate within his mind, to hold it forever. But it withered to the image of his mate scared face as he was torn away, disappearing into the darkness he couldn't see through. And with that Riddick became the convict he had been before. He stopped feeling, stopped giving a shit about anything but survival.

The creatures screeches grew louder around them.

"Riddick! What do we do!" Jack yelled in fear. Her eyes wide and shiny as she looked at the downed man. All of them were frighted. Bar Fry who hung back from everyone and kept her head down.

Shazza held her and Ali tightly to her side, tears streaming down her cheeks they were quickly washed away by the rain. One minute Harry had been standing there the next he was gone just like the others, just like her Zeke. 'Not Harry please not him. Why he was the best of us all. Harry.' her heart cried in misery.

Riddick slowly rose to his feet. He was fucked if he was going to help the ones that played a part in him losing his Vixen. His heart slowly covered its self in ice, numbing the pain with its cold touch. He felt nothing as he turned and saw the tears in many of their eyes.

The darkness closed around them and he knew it was time to lose the dead weight.

Looking over the cliff walls he quickly spotted a small empty cave a little ahead, storming towards it he peered inside and saw that it was a small cave that was big enough to room all of them. He just had to move the large rock that covered it partly. Grabbing hold of it he shifted it aside to make room for them to get through, no thoughts of what he was about to do cross his mind.

Once finished he faced them and beckoned, "Hide here! Now!"

They were quick to follow his orders, still shocked over losing Harry. Jack was first into the cave

followed by Shazza and the weeping Ali who she holds close to her. Imam brought the limping Suleiman inside away from the calling creatures and not far behind was the quite Fry, she stopped at the entrance to gaze into Riddick's eyes, unlike the others her pale face was blank, showing no emotion over losing Harry. This pissed Riddick royally off.

"Get in NOW!" He near roared in her face. He stood still for a moment, her eyes glued to his before finally doing as he said and joining the others inside.

As soon as she crossed the threshold he moved the bolder back over the entrance. Blocking them inside and the creatures out.

'I'm done saving people.' Riddick thought as he took one last look at the stone, 'Its time to get the hell off this shithole planet and forget everything that ever happened here. This was nothing but a nightmare.'

His ice-covered heart was filled with emptiness as he turned from the tomb he placed the others, moving swiftly over to where he had dropped the cells he grabbed the rope and once again dragged the load behind him. This time he wouldn't stop, not for anything. Making his way down the dark path his mind blank, all he concentrated on was surviving this shit.

Back with the stranded group, they huddled together holding their touches tightly as they stared at where Riddick once stood, their exit now closed by said man.

"Why is he still out there?" Jack asked, wide-eyed as the tension silence got to her.

No one answered her, Shazza just held her closer and prayed for a miracle.

0-0-0-0-0-0

Panting slightly Riddick worked as fast as he could through the canyon. The creatures had left him alone for now, most likely hanging around where he had left the others. He thought nothing on his action, that he had sentenced them to death by leaving them behind. Tracking through the mud he came to a high slop, gritting his teeth and tightening his grip on the rope he carried onwards. Nothing was going to stop him now.

Struggling, he crawled up the mud hill, his feet slid from underneath him constantly as one arm pulled cells behind him as he used the others to clawed through the mud-covered ground. He paid no mind to the burning pain in his shoulders as it was nothing compared to the raging despair in his cold heart.

Nothing.

Shazza looked around their small cave, more a hole in the wall but it kept them safe for now. Her thoughts tried to shy away from the pain she was feeling inside at the loss of Harry. She didn't want to think of him being gone, just like her Zeke. Shaking her head she turned her attention to something else. Seeing their touches getting lower on fuel she got an idea. In this small cave, they didn't need all three lights.

Turning to Imam who was watching out the tiny gap in the rock wall to see outside. She asked. "How much fuel do you have in your bottle Imam?"

Glancing at his, he shook his head. "Not much. I'm afraid, maybe an inch at most."

"Jack?" Shazza looked to the girl.

She held hers up to show that there wasn't even a quarter left in the bottom.

"Damn," Shazza whispered at seeing such little fuel left. Her idea would work but not for long but anything was better than letting them go out one by one. "Pass them here. We have to place every little bit of fuel into one bottle, it should last a little longer."

Imam nodded, it was a sound plan, as they don't have much time before the light went out. They got to work quickly, Shazza and Jack careful pour the last of the alcohol from two of the bottles into one, Jack even squeezed the rope ends to get every drop if had absorbed. Suleiman and Ali titillated the empty bottles so the drops left inside pooled closer to the lips of the bottle. All worked with interns forces, quick but carefully so not to waste a single drop of precision fuel that was the only thing keeping them alive.

When they finished Shazza was disheartened to see that all their effaced hadn't even fill half the bottle. Turning to stare at Imam Shazza couldn't hide the distress in her eyes. Their light will bearly last an hour if that. Imam shared the same look turning away to gaze out into the raining night. His two sons sat not far from him. Little Ali had once again started crying again and moved deeper into Suleiman's arms, the little boy was so upset at losing the man that saved him, he had grown to see Harry as a friend and another big brother to see him taken away like that was something he will never forget. Imam looked sadly at his youngest, he wished greatly to lift his boys' spirits but there was nothing he could

do. placing a hand on Suleiman's shoulder he squeezes it before turning to look out again he will stand guard and hope. Praying he could keep them all safe.

Sitting on her own on the opposite wall was Fry. Her face blank expression as she leaned against the rock walk not helped with any of the group's plans. Not seeing the point. She hadn't spoken once since they lost Harry not that they had notice or even spoken to her.

"He's not comin' back is he?" Jack whispered what they all were thinking.

"Harry..." Ali sobs out. Suleiman tightens his hold on his baby brother as Shazza and Imam shard a look of despair, with Harry gone what was stopping Riddick leaving them all to their fate.

They didn't see the wickedness enter Fry's eyes and her lips moved into a smug smile before ducking her head to hide it again.

She needed a plan. She wasn't going to die on this fucking planet, not after finally getting rid of the thorn in her side. The satisfaction and delight she felt at seeing the monster creeping down from above the freak had overwhelmed so much her, she couldn't help but grin at him. The confusion and horror in his eyes will stay with her forever, always bring a smile to her face. Now Riddick should slowly come back to himself, now the freaks spell has been broken. Sadly it wasn't in time to stop him leave them but as soon as she worked out a way to get to him he will realize she was meant to be with him. not freaky Harry.

For now, all she could do was sit and think of some way to getting to the skiff.

0-0-0-0-0-0

Finally getting to the top of the hill, Riddick observed he had made it out of the canyon. Through the rain, he could see the settlement. Nothing was blocking his path now and instead of feeling relieved he felt nothing but numbness, his emotions were cut off right now, oh he knew that he

would be raging later but for now, he felt nothing. The coldness was his friend right now.

An image of a smiling Harry appeared before him, he quickly shoved it back and locked it away, all that image did was cause pain to flare in his heart. Giving a great pull he dragged the cells through the mud. He ran fast as he could, paying no mind to his body protesting and straining against the weight. Nothing was stopping him now.

Seeing no creatures hanging around he quickly made his way to the skiff. Coming out a cluster of buildings he came out at the front of the skip, making his way around to the side he dragged the cells to the back. Seeing it still open from earlier he looked inside and saw no creatures nesting inside.

'Pity, I wouldn't have minded gutting one of those fuckers right now.' Riddick thought darkly, just as he was about to enter the ship and start hocking up the cells a voice suddenly floated through the wind stopped him dead in his tracks.

'Riddick...'

his head shoot-around, he couldn't see anyone or anything. The other's hadn't followed him so who was calling his name. There was nothing around him but abandoned buildings and the only sound was the rain falling onto there metal roofs. he was alone. not even the creatures were around to bother him. shaking his head. "I'm hearing things, this place is playing with my head."

Again a voice called out and this Riddick recognized who's it was. 'Riddick...'

"Harry" Riddick gasped, feeling the air get knocked from his chest as he dropped the rope and fell to his knees in the mud. His hand rose and clenched his head in pain, rain beating down on him. clenching his eyes shut he gritted out. "You're not here. You're not real. You're fucking GONE!"

Riddick roared into the air, the sound echoing around him before fading into silence.

'My Hunter.'

The beautiful voice of his Vixen called out, tormenting him with its loved filled tone. he felt like he's mate was right around the corner just waiting for him to come but it was impossible, Harry was taken before his very eyes there was no way he should be hearing him when his mate was dead and gone forever. "There's no one here," He said to himself, he felt like he was going insane. 'My minds playing me. He's gone. My Vixen is dead.' Riddick rage within, his mind was torturing him with his mates voice. It caused the ice around his heart to creak sending waves of pain through him.

Taking deep breaths the voice faded away, he gave his head a firm shake before rising to his feet. There was no time to be messing around with ghosts. Grabbing the cropped rope he cast one last to look around him, there was nothing on his planet for him now.

He turned away and made his way into the Skiff, pulling the cells behind him. It was time to get off this shit hole of rock and forget everything that happened here.

Shazza watched the flame on the touch, she took a shaky breath as it got smaller and smaller by the minute. Its orange glow no longer stretching as far as it once did and as it faded the sound from outside were getting louder. The creatures knew their prey would soon be within their talons. She gazed up to Imam and could see his face flicking into darkness, the light slowly dying. She slowly stood with Jack, holding her hand as imam moved to stand beside his sons, he took their

hands and muttered prayers under his breath.

The flame became smaller till it finally ran out of fuel and died, bathing them in darkness.

Jack gripped Shazza's hand and gulped.

Fry stayed sitting her eyes clenched closed and rocked back and forth wishing to be anywhere but here.

Those standing slowly sat on the rocky ground locked in their thoughts when out of nowhere Ali let out a sound of awe. "Pretty."

Shazza looked up to where Ali was and saw him looking at the roof. It didn't register for a second that she could see his little face. 'what.' Shazza quickly turned to jack beside her and could see her as well.

There was light coming from somewhere.

Looking to Ali again she along with the others followed his line of sight and felt her heart jump when she saw glowing things on the roof of the cave. "What the..."

Everyone slowly stood, staring at the lights. Reaching up imam picked two the glowing things off the ceiling and brought his hand down to show them two wiggling worms in his palm.

"Pretty." Ali smiled.

"Yes, Ali. Very pretty." Shazza said with a big grin on her face. Her hope restored with the beautiful sight in front of her. there was so many it looked like little stars all around them.

Fry suddenly spoke up for the first time, an idea in mind. "If we fill one of the empty bottles with these glow worm things I can make my way to the skiff and get us more lights."

"Why you? Why not me or Imam." Shazza asked suspiciously. The plan was sound idea but she didn't trust Fry like she once did. There was no guarantee she would come back and with everything had happened she didn't like Fry's frame of mind. She was to close off now and you couldn't tell what was going on behind those ice-blue eyes. they sent shivers down her spine with how dead they looked now. She hadn't shown any emotions when Harry was taken and even though she knew the both hated each other there should have been something there.

"Because Shazza, I know where the settlement is even in the dark," Fry explained calmly. Hiding all the smugness she had inside. She didn't want to go into the darkness but that was the only way to get to the skiff, with that glowing light and on her own, she would get there faster and be free of this nightmare.

"She is right, Shazza," Imam said, he too did not like the plan but it was the only one they had, and time was running out for them.

"Fine." Shazza sighed, running a hand through her wild wet hair. "Jack, Ali help me pick up as many of these glow bugs as possible, we need to fill a bottle right to the top, Suleiman uses this to scrap the label of the bottle so more light gets through." She passed the boy her pocket knife she had in her belt, Imam translated her instructions to his children who nodded in agreement.

With a plan they got to work moving quickly, moving even faster when the screeches grew closer to their location. Sometimes Imam would stop to look out when the sound came so close that it sounded right outside the door, he let out a breath when the creature moved on. looking through the

gap he saw nothing around them right then, grabbing a hold of the boulder he used all his strength to move it aside enough for Fry to squeeze through. Suleiman scraped as fast as he could, trying to clean off as much as he could of the label. Shazza, Jack, and Ali collected many of the bugs and once Suleiman was done they packed them into the bottle till a blue light grows stronger and lit the room.

It wasn't long before all was done and Fry was ready to head out, Shazza held the glowing bottle in her hand and was fighting a battle inside on whether or not to let her be the one to go.

The battle soon came to an end when Fry grabbed the bottle but she didn't let it go just yet. Fry looked into the other woman's eyes, they had a staredown for a moment the tension in the cave rising.

"Shazza..." Imam spoke softly, she sighed and let the bottle go.

Quickly moving from her, Fry took a calming a breath she had thought for a moment Shazza wasn't going to let her have the light but she must still have a little trust, any guilt she should have felt was shoved so deep down it was barely registered it. This was about surviving after all and nothing was holding her back from getting off this planet now. Walking towards the exit she cast one last look at them before disappearing into the darkness, Imam closed the gap with the boulder, he sighed and looked to Shazza, both praying they made the right choice, Fry was their last hope of getting out of this alive.

Ali and Jack had started working on filling another of the bottles with Suleiman help as he scraped the label off with the knife Jack filled it with worms that Ali handed her. when they took everything they could see Ali searched around for any hidden ones, it was their only source of they had now.

Jack grimaced as she plucked the last one that they could see off the wall and walked over to put it into the bottle Suleiman held. Looking over to Ali she saw him shake his head negative when he found no more, glancing at the bottle it was only half full with the little bugs. It wasn't a lot of light but it bathed them in a soft blue glow and made them felt safer than before.

"That's the last one we could find," She told the adults as they settled down. The girl moved to sit beside Shazza and she pulled her into a one-armed hug, Imam had each son on either side of him placing his arms around them as they all huddled together around their only light source. Their lives now rested on Fry's shoulders, Imam and Shazza just hoped they hadn't made the worst mistake of their lives letting Fry go alone.

(ME) hi everyone well here it is the fate of Harry you have all been waiting, for now, there is a few warning with this. Lots of gore and violence, I listened to a lot of music writing this, it set the mood that's for sure.

Now one of you asked me a question that stuck out to me so here it is to AkibasOmega the answer is no, the Bioraptors won't is speaking to Harry, I always felt it was only snakes or closer relatives for Harry to understand and Bopraptors come across more like Xenomorphs from Alien now animals. plus these guys eat their own kind so there isn't anything really stopping them doing the same to Harry. As for the others, Fry is getting what's coming to her don't worry and poor Riddick is in mourning its why he is so ice-cold in his thoughts and actions, more robot than alive. The rest you have to wait and see Thank for the comments

Okay on with the story I hope you enjoy what's coming next

'Thoughts' "Talking"

Chapter 21 Back in time.

"RIDDICK!" Harry screamed, he hurriedly seized the tail around his neck. Hands frankly clawed at its flesh, trying so hard to make it release its hold on his neck. He could barely draw in a breath as it tightens around him. He struggled harder as he was pulled farther and farther away. Sadly, against the grip of the creature he meant as well as have been fighting against steel. It did hiss above him at the pain of his nails made tearing at its flesh but didn't let go of its hold. Its hunger was too great to let a single meal go.

Harry cried out as the rough stone cut against the back of his shirt. He arched his back to get away from the pain that was being caused by the sharper edges of the stone, they cut through his shirt like paper and dung into the flesh of his back. The creature roared its victory as it carried on dragging him up the cliffside Finally it will eat its fill.

Green eyes meet sliver one last time, rage and pain were shining through those liquid orbs as his Hunter rushed to stand below him, slamming his fists into the stone wall. Those eyes were soon lost to the darkness when the creature reached the top and jumped into the air, its wings spread wide to catch the air and fly into the night. It flew away with its prize and Harry could do nothing as his mate disappears from view.

"HARRY!" Was the last thing he heard before there was nothing but air and screeches around him.

Wind and rain rushed over Harry as they flaw high in the sky. He fought with everything he had, twisting and turning in the creatures hold. he didn't care how far or even high he was right now. He just had to get free as quickly as possible before he was too far away to ever make it back to his mate's side.. Gripping tightly to the tail with one hand, he reached with the other down to his belt. He was not dying like this not after everything he had been through. Grabbing the handle of shiv's he quickly pulled it out and swiped at the tail above his head.

He felt his stomach launch up as the tail separated from the body. The creature screeching in pain as Harry dropped back to earth.

Spinning in the air, Harry was so disoriented he couldn't tell which way was up, let alone down, the wind seemed to spin around him making him gasp in fear when he hears over the wind the creatures echoing, trying to find him.

There was nothing but blackness around him though, the creatures not seeing his falling form. but as they can't see him he couldn't see them with his green eyes, they couldn't make out anything.

Pulling the loose tail off his neck he tried to right himself but as he did so he felt his bag fall off his shoulder and disappear from his limited view.

"FUCK!" Harry shouted in anger, he didn't have time to worry about his bag, not while he was spinning around like a yo-yo.

He finally got himself righted to face downwards and quickly switch on his vampire vision, his eyes bleed red and his blindness disappeared quickly, he wishes it hadn't. Looking down his eyes widen with terror when he saw the ground rushing up fast to meet him. He panted trying to calm down his panic as the wind blow over his face, quickly calling his magic from his core to surround his body, he needed to slow himself down and fast because if he hit the ground at his present speed they are going to be scraping bits of him off the ground for years.

"COME ON! MERLIN DAMN YOU WORK!" Harry yelled out his magic flicking around him. "I DIDNT JUST FIND MY MATE TO DIE LIKE THIS NOW WORK!"

Like the magic inside him finally heard his plea and headed his call for aid it flashed and covered his body in a soft purple glow. He could feel the air around him slow as his speed reduced. His eyes fixed to the ground while he tried to right himself, with the help of his magic he finally stood upright and made his knees bend for impact.

He was still going to fast. A thought of flying passed through his mind, he wished he could fly like his papa had done all those years ago but with his magic, as it is that wasn't going to happen, he wasn't even sure this was going to work. It was struggling to just slow him down. 'Merlin help me.' Harry prayed, the ground coming in faster and faster.

"Hope this works cos it's going to fucking hurt," Harry grunted through gritted teeth, bracing

himself. He barely took a breath before his feet slammed into the ground it was so hard the ground under him cracked and crumbed, a small crater circled him. He didn't have time to scream as pain licked through his body, his legs felt like they were on fire, the bones mere moments from shattering into a thousand pieces, muscles ripped and blood vessels bust from the pressure.

At that moment everything was still till his body glowed brightly, white light surrounded him as magic fought to save what was left of his legs. Vampire and Elf magic mixing into it making shoots of red and green orbs around him. Faster and faster they span, the orbs hitting his legs where the worst of the damage was. It couldn't heal everything perfectly but enough that he could move without pain for a while. He felt the power repair the bones, muscles, and blood vessels. Mending and healing what it could.

Panting, Harry dropping to knees, his hands fisting the mud under them as what felt like an eternity but mere seconds the pain stopped blinding his mind. Clenching his eyes shut, he took a deep breath in and got his thoughts back under control. Around him, he felt his magic sink back into his body taking the orbs with it. He had never been so thankful for his magic coming to his aid than he did then. Harry smiled. 'I did it, I motherfucking did IT.' He ached and felt weak as a wet noodle but he had survived the fall by the skin of his teeth. The price was higher than he would have liked, he could barely feel his magic now. He could maybe get away with using it a few more times but only spells he had mastered. If he had his bag he'd be reaching for his wand about now to help guide it.

"SCREECH!"

Harry's blood-red eyes shoot open and he cursed out loud as his heart sink. The fall might not have killed him but the creatures surrounding him just might finish the job. "Fuck."

There were six in total, each snapping at each other to get first dibs on his flesh, a dominance dance was happening around him and he didn't want to wait and see which one got first to pick.

Moving into a crouch, he ignores any lingering pain leftover from the fall. his blooded began to pump through his veins as adrenaline raced through him. His figurer began to change. His ears became pointed and heard everything around him from the raindrops hitting the ground to the creatures heartbeats. Opening his mouth he hissed as his fangs grew longer and sharper. Fingers flexed as they turning into claws as sharp as any knives. He had called forth both sides of himself, he hadn't a hope in hell of winning this fight without going full out.

Reaching down, he picked up Riddick's Shiv that he had drop when he crashed, and he waited.

A beast hissed as it grew more and more impatient with hunger, the others around it fought over the meal but being the weaker of the lot it didn't dare join, too much of a risk of it being taken out by kin. It could no longer wait, not with hunger clawing inside its belly. Letting out a mighty roar it leaping forward with claws and teeth ready to stab into Harry.

With a sneer, Harry sprung into action. He dodged to the right, out of its way and swapped his bladed into its side. Its attack failed as his vampire speed had no match, bar his mate maybe. It was flying so fast the blade slides along its side and guts spilled out onto the ground. The wide-open wound caused it to let out a piercing cry as its entrails spilled out, with the last cry it collapsed to the ground, dead within moments.

With one down Harry didn't stop moving forward towards another as they all moved in. He spins out the way of another using his clawed hand to slash its throat open, blood poured over him like

rain as he jumped and spins in the air as two more collided under him, landing he gutted another as he ducked under its jump. The two that head-butted each other got their bearing but Harry didn't let up he jumped on ones back and dove his shiv into its spine along with his claws into its neck.

As it screeched and fell to the ground he leaped at the other, it sneered and leaped towards him, he let his shiv go to grab its head, one of its talons caught his shoulder and tore through his flash but he barely grunted with the pain, he twisted its head sharply to one side, breaking it neck.

The air was filled with the odor of mixed blood and the cries of dying creatures that laid across the ground before they fell silent. Harry didn't let anything slow him down as he came face to face with the last one. This was had been smarter than the others and hung back, waiting for its prey to weaken, it's sheer size made Harry's eyes widen, it was so much larger than the others, while they were about the size of an adult human male, this one was the size of a horse.

An alpha.

Out the corner of his eyes, he could see more coming, the scent of his blood drawing them in like moths to a flame. Picking his blade back up Harry roared and rushed towards the alpha, he felt his magic flash under his skin, raising his other hand he waved it towards a group closing in on his other side as he rushed by, his magic flared and a with waved of his hand a strong Diffindo cut through them like a hot knife through butter.

He paid it no mind to their screams, he had the bigger one to take down. It whipped its tail blade at his head and he ducked under it, slashing his blade into its flash, crying it span around faster than he thought and caught him in the side with its talons, tearing away and biting back a bellow as he jumped back, hand gripping the

wound tightly he hissed as he felt the blood seeping through his fingers.

Growling in anger Harry launches his shiv straight into its neck, as it rears back with a roar he rushes forward and leaps onto its back, holding on tight as it bucks and twists around. He clawed his way up its side ducking its tail when it whipped back trying to knock him off. He grunted and the breath was knocked from his lungs when it round across the ground, near crushing him with its weigh but he didn't let go. Digging his claws deeper into its flesh because he knew if he let go he was a died man. Luck wasn't on his side at that moment as when it round back up another creature landed on its back beside him, it screech and he let one hand go to roll to the side to avoid its talons when slashed downwards. The alpha howled in pain as its back was getting cut to ribbons, the smaller one didn't care, it wanted its meal, it whipped its tail down and Harry couldn't dodge. He cried out when the tail blade slashed at him, from his chest to his hip, blood spraying in the air. His magic flared again, thrusting his hand forward he yelled. "Confringo!"

A beam of light shoots out, blasting the creature's head off. He turned away as its body fell to the ground. Pressing a hand against his chest he gazed down at it with clenched teeth, it was a deep wound but not enough to spill his insides out. Seeing his shiv in the jerking alpha's neck he let the hold on its back go and jumped, grabbing the handle he used his other hand to dig his clawed fingers into the back of its neck pulling himself up slightly he swang himself under its neck as it reared back in agony. Pulling the shiv with him. A large wound opened up under the blades sharpness, slicing its neck right open. Blue blood rained down all over him as its gushed like a fountain. He rolled across the ground out of its way when it fell to the ground die.

Looking up panting he saw more creature's surrounding him, gritting his teeth in pain as his thoughts turned dark and bitter. 'I'm going to die. That bitch has sent me to my death again and

there nothing I can do to stop it this time.' Rage, unlike anything he had ever felt before consumed him, but that wasn't enough to stop the weakness his body felt, his strength was leaving as his wounds grow more severe by the minute.

The beasts circled him warier after so many had been taken down but that wouldn't stop them for long not with their hungry burning through them. Letting out a pained and bitter laugh, Harry felt a tear run down his bloody face, joining the raindrops that ran down it. "Riddick...My Hunter... I'm so sorry it came to this, I thought we'd make it out together...I Love you."

Another alpha appeared, pushing the smaller ones to one side with a hiss. Larger and stronger than the last one and Harry felt numbness spread across over him at the sear size of it. Everything felt hopeless at that moment, and it seems to sense this, it hissed at him its tail whipping behind it like a cat playing with its toy. Catching the smaller ones with its blade, not caring to the harm it brought them. None would challenge its calm to this meal.

Facing it head-on, Harry tightens his grip on his blade, if he was going down he was going down fighting.

Time seems to stop for a moment, both staring at each other when it leaps toward him with a roared. It was so fast Harry knew there was no way he was going to dodge this time. With gritted teeth, he stood his ground.

Its large form slammed into him. His hands went straight to its head holding back its bladed teeth as he tried to get his breath after being knocked so hard into the ground. It was hard though, it's sear weight was near crushing him.

On the muddy bloody ground, Harry stabbed his blade into its neck and held it back its jaw so its teeth didn't bite his head off. There was no way he was going to get out from under it. His wiggling was slowing down and its head was getting closer. He's sight left him and everything turned into blackness as his eyes turned back to emerald as his vampire and elf side faded away as he grew weaker. He screamed in pain as talons sank into his leg, open another wound and the beast hissed in enjoyment above him.

He fought so much that there was nothing left to give. Death waited for him now. He was going to join his family after all this time and even though he had wished for it so long ago he had lost that wish when his eyes laid upon Riddick. 'Riddick, I'm sorry.' He couldn't fight. It was over.

Just as the creature reared back to finish the job, Harry closed his eyes waiting for the pain to stop no knowing something had fallen out of his pocket in his struggle.

As it hit the ground a bright flash of pure white light flared around them all. Harry screamed along with the surprise creatures. The light was so powerful it burned his eyes behind his eyelids.

The weight on his chest disappeared and all around him, the air was filled with screams of agony and despair. Creatures tried feeing the burning light but its power was too great and they fell to the ground, wavering as they burned alive.

What felt like hours but was only minutes everything around him became silent. Slowly the white light faded to a soft dim and Harry blinked his eyes open to get rid of the white spots from them. 'What happened.' Harry thought dazed, he was thankful he had shut his eyes before or he would be blind right about now.

Blinking a few more times to clear his sight, he painful lifted his head and looked around him. He was surrounded by a soft orange glow and smoking twitching corpses. There was so many of them Harry couldn't even think to count the numbers. Sitting up fully he held his wounded chest with a grunt as he searched for the source of the glow.

His eyes widen in surprise and disbelief when he found what was sitting beside him glowing innocently at him.

There, resting in the mud was an oval black stone with a small dancing flame inside. Harry stared at it shock, he had forgotten all about the magic light he made back at the crashed ship. So much had happened since then, casting over Jack, talking with Riddick, Paris death, Jack being found out alongside Johns outing Fry. Then the big fight between Riddick and Johns. There had been so much going on he had forgotten all about the stone.

Letting out a hiss of pain Harry reached down and picked it up, closing his dirty hand around the cool surface he tilted his head to one side as he gazed at the innocent black stone. He watched as it flashes lightly at him and his eyes widen when he felt familiar magic brush against him before surrounded him in a comfort embraces. He gasping for breath as he near sobs when the scent of potion indigents and black coffee filled his senses.

Only one person had that scent, his long-missed papa Severus Snape.

It had been so long since he had felt the comfort of his Papa, years have gone by with longing for his presence in his life. Even before his deep slumber, he had kept his papa's room the exact way he had left it when he had passed. Too heartbroken to clear it, it had been left till the last minute before he let the house-elves pack it away. Sometimes when everything had become too much he had gone into that room and kneeled beside the bed and rested his head where his papa's hand had laid. It had near killed him losing the last of his family, his papa who had always protected him to the best of his abilities.

And he was still doing protecting him even if it's from the grave. The little stone was never meant to give off such a powerful light, he had made it more into a nightlight, placing only a little bit of magic inside it so it should have never been powerful enough to kill all those creatures.

"Oh, Papa I miss you so much. Its been so hard since waking up, but your still here for me aren't you. You have always been there to save me from my fool-hearted adventures. No matter how much trouble I got into you were always by my side." Harry mournful said to the air, he didn't know it was possible but his papa had saved him once again tonight, the presence seems to flutter for a moment and a warm breath ruffled his hair as he felt something touch his cheek before fading away.

Closing his eyes he laid back down onto the ground his body aching and in agony. He paid it no mind at all though, his thoughts were fixed on his papa. He could see his papa's face in his mind. "I love you, papa. Thank you for everything."

The image smiled before fading back into nothing. Opening his eyes he felt a tear fall and run down the side of his head. He didn't know how it happened but he wasn't going to question it.

Wrapping his fingers tightly around the stone, light shining through the cracks in his fingers. Its warmth surrounded him in a safety blanket. Rain pelted down on to his face wiping away the blood that stained it, it also washed away some of the mud that clung to what was left of his clothes. His body protested when he wiggled on the uncomfortable ground, the pain was shoot through him

causing him to moan. Closing his tired eyes again he drifted in and out of consciousness.

"Riddick.' Harry's minds whispered his heart acting for his mate. 'Riddick, my Hunter.'

Harry...

Green eyes shoot open in surprise. Blinking away the rainwater that pooled there, blinding and clouding his vision slightly. He could have sworn he had heard his Riddick's voice. Raising his head he looked around him in confusion, nothing but darkness surrounded him. He called out confusedly. "Riddick?"

'My vixen is dead...' A deep voice whispered in his mind, it was so filled with grief that it broke Harry's heart.

"Riddick..." Harry whispered in distress. His papa's words from long ago came to the front of his mind. 'The first part of a bond it physical, yes, but it is the mind bond that is the deepest and

most meaningful. Now, this will take a few years to come but your father and I could talk to each other through our minds. Before his death, we had entered our second stage of the bond and spoke for hours as I made potions in the lab and he was with you boys. The last and final stage is the joining of souls, binds the minds and hearts of the pair. Sadly we didn't make it to that my dear son.' Shook spread through him at the memory. Their bond was entering the second stage already, something that shouldn't be possible after only a day since they gave each other a mating bite.

"When have I ever been normal." Harry chuckled painfully. Grunting when the gash on his chest pulled. He had done the impossible again.

'Now get up off your ass Harry, my Hunter needs me. Papa didn't raise me to give up and lay here like a lazy brat.'

Rolling onto his front he gritted his teeth as he got his hands under him, one still holding onto the stone. He pushed against the ground, mud seeping through his fingers as he groaned in agony. He managed to get his knees under him. Now came the really painful part. Clenching his teeth, he held in a cry as he got one of his legs under him, staying in the kneeling position for a moment before taking a deep breath and giving one final push to stand up straight.

A wave of dizziness washed over him and he felt like a newborn fawn with how steady his legs felt. The pain nearly sent him back to the ground but he pushed through it and took deep breathes in and slowly back out as he waited for it to fade back to a dull ache. Looking down at himself his eyes widen at the damage that had been done. His injuries were more severe than he had first thought and he had been hit more times than he first realized. The wounds on his front were deep and still bleeding, it needed binding before he could move on.

He was thankful for his creature sides or he'd be dead already with how deep the claw makes were. Looking over it he saw it got shallower as it went down to his hip. So it was only weeping there. The one of his shoulder that looked like it went around to his back was bleeding just as must as his chest and needed bandages as well. One of his legs wasn't too deep thankfully. His pants looked like they had been clawed to shreds, the leather had been no match for the creature's sharp talons.

He could feel a few lesser wounds all over his body that he had gotten from the fighting twinged in slight discomfort, nothing he couldn't handle for now. His back, on the other hand, felt like one big bruise and very raw in places from where he had been dragged up the cliff face and then slammed

into the ground a few times. His legs still hurt from the fall even though his magic took care of the internal injuries before the fight.

He needed aid and quick. Glancing around he looked for his dropped bag, he hoped he hadn't lost it for days again. that had happened a year ago, it didn't turn up for three days before appearing beside him one morning. He had no clue as to when it would appear again and he needed the potions inside before he got any weaker. 'Just my luck papa made a temperamental bag.' Harry thought with fondness.

Placing the flame stone on the ground he worked off what remained of his shirt, the once white fabric was now stained brown, red and blue from the mud, his blood, and the creatures. It was more a rag now with all the shirt, he didn't trust his magic to clean not with how weak he was.

Swiftly he started tearing it into strips, not the cleanest thing to use as bandages but it would do till he got his bag back. It's not like an infection was something to worry about if he didn't make it back to the others. 'I'm so glad I have supplies to take care of all this in my bag. Just wish I didn't have to wait for it to come back to me.' Harry mused as he began to painful wrap himself up, starting with the worst wound on his chest. He hissed as he pulled the cloth tightly around him. He gritted his teeth against the agony as he winds it around him till everything was covered, from shoulder to hip. Taking a deep breath in, he worked on wrapping the rest. It wasn't easy with some of the injuries placements but he made do.

His wounds stung, even more, as the dirty cloth pulled tightly against his flesh but it was something he was going to have to push past. His creatures sides could only heal so much. The tight bindings slowed the bleeding down enough he had a chance to make it back to the others before collapsing from blood loss. He reached down and started tearing what was left of his trousers so he could wrap his leg up. with his Trousers legs gone he had created some makeshift shorts. He's outfit was very different from what he had on at the start of this journey.

Observing his other gashes and bruises over him, he quickly used the last of his shirt to wrap the worst of them as well.

Having done the best he could in patching himself up for now Harry gazed over his work one last time. 'Not too bad for a field patch up. so glad dad and papa made me take magical and muggle healing.' He thought. The only thing not fully covered was his smaller wounds. 'Merlin I look a mess.' Harry thought running a hand through his loses hair, the band he used to tire it up had been lost in the fight, its weight was heavy from the rain and blood that coated it, bits of mud and rocks tangled into it. The only clothing he had that survived intact was his boots. No shirt, vest lost from his shower. And his trousers were now shorts. He was one big hot mess. 'Good thing I don't mind the cold rain much cos otherwise I'd be freezing my ass off right about now. When this is all over with I'm having the longest hot shower possible. Preferable with a naked Riddick with me. Someone has to wash my back after all.' He giggled. 'I think I've lost to much blood, I'm going a little loopy. Come on body, its time to get back to my mate.'

Picking up the glowing stone he shoots a look around him, the short flight and then the fight had disorientated him, he had no clue which way the canyon was. 'It's not like I can ask a corpse for directions.' He huffed before raising his head and sniffed the air, trying to pick up Riddick or the scent of the others but to his disappointment, there wasn't even a hint of them, just the scent of his blood and the creatures burnt bodies around him.

"This could be harder than I thought...unless.." Harry closed his eyes and pictures his wand in his mind. It would of be better to have the actual item in hand but like the potions, it was tucked safely

away in the bag. "I hope this works. Point me, Riddick."

His magic core flashed deep inside his chest and slowly the wand in his mind began to move, round and round it slowly spin before stuttering to a stop, point downwards. Harry clenched his teeth as he swore. "Shit, okay maybe he's too far. I need to focus on something else. Please work."

Taking a deep stuttering breath Harry once again pictures his wand. "Point me CANYON!"

The wand span and span, going faster and faster, its glow brightened as magic fuelled the image, it was a near blur and Harry focused hard to not lose the image, 'Please...' Suddenly it stops and Harry held his breath before realizing it didn't drop down instead it pointed to his right, pulsing with power.

Harry near saged in relief, holding the image he opened his eyes, picture fixed firmly in his mind eye, as he turned to face the right the image turned with him till it faced forwards. Taking a step on unsteady feet he limped away, his poor legs like jelly and shooting pain racing through them. He slowly limped through the darkness towards the direction the wand was pointed in. Walking was difficult with his injuries, but he couldn't let the discomfort stop him. Not after everything he had been through. His mind was filled with drifting thoughts as he tracked through the darkness his little flame stone the only light.

His eyes flashed red when the image of Fry's smug face appeared. That bitch was living on borrowed time now. She must have thought it was her lucky day when he was taken by that fucking creature, that all her problems were taken care of. 'I'm coming for you Fry and you're going to fucking pay.' Harry growled out loud at his thoughts, so many curses and spell flaw through his mind one after another, some brought pain others death. he wasn't an evil man but living as long as he had he no longer let those who hurt him get off with a free pass. He was no light wizard but Gray. He had no plan as to what he was going to do to her once they meet again but that didn't deter him from his goals, once he'd taken care of the bitch once and for all he was going to rest in his mate's lovely arms and nothing was going to stop him.

After a while he came to a stop, there in front of him was the edge of the canyon, he was shocked that it hadn't' been further away but with his deep thoughts, he hadn't been paying any true attention to anything but them. 'Potters luck, that's what my papa would be saying right about now.' Harry smiled, happy the creature hadn't taken him to far away. His body wouldn't be up to miles of walking.

Kneeling he gazed over the edge into the canyon, scenting the air he picked up the faintest hint of the group. This was the place he had been dragged from but he saw no sign of anyone still around, he prayed he wasn't too far behind them.

Hearing a scraping noise like rock rubbing against rock further down the canyon, his curiosity got the better of him and he crawled along the edge of the cliff till he was above the sound, he wanted to see what was causing it. Gazing down he spotted a boulder moved away from what looked like small cave entries. At first, he thought it was just a creature but when a glowing blue light appeared from inside his heart stopped. Widen eyes glued to that light he watched as

it moved away from the cave and start to bob away in a hurry. Moving his light source behind him Harry flashed his vampire vision on. When his gaze landed on the face of the woman running away time seem to stop, he didn't hear the boulder move back over the cave or even the creatures moving around him.

No his full attention was on the woman. His hand tightens around his stone as a sneer appeared on his face. inside blood began to boil with blazing rage that wanted to be freed.

Fry ran through the rain away from him, her touch held high above her, bathing her in its blue glow. A deep animal growl came deep within his chest and echo around him, scaring a few of the creatures away. His anger burned like hot lave and he not going hold it back this time. That bitch had tried to kill him for the last time, he could still see that smug look on her face the second before that tail wrap around his neck. Oh, she had thought herself so smart not saying anything about the danger coming towards them, let the monsters she so fears take care of her problem without bloodying her own hands.

Now she was going to wish she had when he caught up with her

"Oh yes, Fry, you will pay dearly." Harry sneered, his fangs growing in length once more, he pocked the stone and blended into the shadows around him, his burning red eyes glued to the dead woman walking, yes Harry was out for blood.

'Thoughts' "Talking"

Chapter 22

Inside the dark canyon, a glowing blue light rushed through, panting for breath, Fry ran for her life. She knew that there was only so much time before Riddick left her behind on this godforsaken planet. Not that she blames him after all what did he owe her or any of them but she hoped that once she was there he would see what she had to offer him, after all, she was a top pilot and had brains to keep up with him.

Wiping the water from her blurry eyes, Fry raced through the darkness her eyes darting around her to make sure there was nothing near that was going to try and eat her. Her mind went back to Riddick, the man had been on her mind since seeing him tied to that post, his muscle strained back showing off those arms that she wanted around her so much that it hurt. The closet she had gotten to touching him was back in the cargo hold when he showed her his sliver eyes, they were so beautiful they seem to look right into her soul and take it captive. If she hadn't been so nervous she could have taken her chance and kissed him, maybe then he wouldn't have been spelled to look only at the freak.

Turning another corner she stopped and regarded dark canyon carefully, looking over the foreboding cliff sides that loomed above her with dread. Every sound sending her blood pumping faster throughout her veins.

"Growl..." Came from behind her, the sound making her shoot forward, not looking behind to see what made the sound. She pushed her tied body onwards, even more, holding the bottle higher up

to protect her from whatever that was. But after so many hours awake with barely any water and no food her speed was flagging, she was only really being fuelled by her fear and excitement to see the Skiff.

Fry had never gone through anything like this before. Her mind turned from the danger she was into her childhood, her broken mind clinging to anything that had meany safety to her and that time had been so. She enjoyed growing up in a well off family, there had been no hardships, no danger, and no freaks. Her father earned a lot to support them and their lifestyle, having treats and presents when she asked for them. Her mother and father could never say no to her and why should they have, she was their only girl after all. She knew her mother had been happy to have a girl after six boys. Growing up with that many older siblings she had made sure to have them all around her little fingers. Her brothers had doted on her just as much as her mother and father, she could do no wrong in their eyes.

When she set her mind on being a captain, they had paid her way into pilot academy, but it fell apart at the last test, she had passed everything and made sure to get the best grades, no matter who she had to pay off for them. Then came that loser of a psychiatrist had to come along and ruing everything for her. He told the heads that she was a loose cannon, that she cared for no one but herself and she hurt anyone that got in her way of reaching the top, well that was her dream of being a captain going down in smoke. She tried everything to get them to change their minds but nothing worked. They said she had to start as a pilot for at least two years before resitting the Captain exam and nothing she or her family said to change the company heads minds.

So she did her time making sure they knew how great a pilot she was, she planned everything down to the letter, no trouble no complaining. Showing up that fake psychiatrist to be a liar and that the company had missed out from the start on a great captain.

But this happened, crashing onto a hell hole of a planet, she had done what she took but there was no way she could land that ship without losing some of the passengers, it wasn't her fault after all. Like it wasn't her fault that she was going to be the only survivor to make it off this planet, alongside Riddick of course but they would have to change his name, Riddick's name will have to die on this planet but Richard was a better name anyway. 'Rickard Fry sounds even better.' She thought, grinning with a crazed glint in her eyes. She will tell them how she did everything in her power to save the passengers but with the crash taking out most of them and then the monsters eating the others. There was nothing she could have done to save them.

Not when they didn't listen to her and instead followed some creature that wasn't mean to still be around. It wasn't her fault. She was just the pilot.

'They will see that, yes they will. And with Riddick by my side, I won't be alone in facing the music.' And once that was done she will be given a ship of her own to captain. It will be the best and top of the line ship. Every single crew member will look up to her and follower her every order to the letter, no backtalk, no stabbing her in the back. They will love her.

And by her side Riddick will stay, her silent bodyguard and lover, he will protect her from any who dare go against her.

Everything will be perfect. After all, she always got what she wanted in the end.

A loud screech came from the darkness making her cringe at how close it was. First, she had to make it to the skiff in one piece and set the last part of her plan in action. Hearing the cry cut off like something ended the beast life set her back into running.

Trying to take her mind off what took be happening in the shadows she let her mind go back to the others. She had set all her hope and plans in getting the others to let her go and alone at that, it worked beautifully, Imam hadn't put up to much fuss with her going alone and the kids were no problem. She had worried when Shazza spoke out over it. She went back over the conversation with the bitch, the look on her face told her how much Shazza didn't trust her, very different from when they first landed. She had to think fast in getting Shazza to back down even if it was Imam in the end that got her where she was now. It had taken everything she had to not put the bitch back in her place, what right did some low life settler have in telling her what she could and couldn't do.

With them back there out the way, her next part of the plan came into action, once she got to the Skiff she had to play the part of concerned Captain, maybe even try at least a little in getting Riddick to go back with more light for them. Not that there was any in the Skiff when she last look, and if her gut was right Riddick will say the opposite, maybe even play a little mind game with her before asking her outright to come with him.

Bring in a few tears of sadness for the other before she gives in and gets onboard into the safety of his arms. Oh, the very thought of his arms sent tingles of pleasure racing through her body, they will leave this planet for good.

Fry felt no guilt at all at the thought of leaving Imam, Shazza and the kids to their death, after all, they were all on that freaks side and they didn't stop Johns from knocking her to the ground. Why she should be concerned for them, they were a group of nobody's. It wasn't like anyone was going to miss them. Unlike her.

A shiver of dread going down her back broke her from her thoughts, quickly looking around his eyes wide as she shivered in fear, she couldn't see anything but darkness, but it still felt like something was on her ass, she had that same feeling since she had left the others.

So far she hadn't spotted a single beast though she had heard some of them in the shadows now and again they hadn't come near her yet. But for some reason that wasn't what worried her, she felt like she was being constantly hunted by something, and whatever it was felt much more dangerous than the creatures.

She tried to reason with herself, this planet had been left abandoned since the last people lost their lives here, meaning they didn't know what was living on it, there might be other creatures on the planet. They had only encountered the baby and adult hammerheads so there could be bigger and more deadly things hiding in the darkness.

'I hope I'm wrong, I can't deal with any more shit right now.' She thought, hoping to never meet whatever was giving her this feeling. It had plagued her since she left the others and she had barely stopped to look around corners cause of it, it was interrupting her 'happy' thoughts and those were the only thing getting her through this.

"Growl..." sounded behind her again, driving her onwards, it was like it was herding her, making it so she was too fearful to dare to stop even for a moment to see what it was. Just running faster.

The feeling always grew worst when she stopped, it was like the creature was getting enjoyment from her fear, her body begged for a break as the pain started to build in her muscles but she didn't dare push her luck with this thing.

Her mind was cracking under its threatening presence.

Holding the bottle higher she finally came to a stop, her eyes widening as it highlighted a large steep hill, small little rivers of rainwater were flowing down and washing mud water down to the bottom pooling around her feet. Fry sneered when she realized she was going to have to make her way up through all the water and mud, she hated being dirty but since being on this planet she hasn't had a chance to wash, let alone change out of the dirty tank top and grime-covered pants, Now she was going to be covered in mud as well.

For a normal person, they wouldn't care how dirty they got as long as they lived but Fry had slowly been losing her mind since she watched her captain die in front of her, made worst when her co- worker dies in her arms from her mistake. She has always been a little off the edge, one of the reasons she didn't pass her captain license. Along with being a highly selfish individual,

the psychiatrist had also put down on paper how uncaring she was to others unless they could do something for her they were ignored for those that could. She was spoilt and turned nasty if she didn't get her way. She was written down also as not being able to adapt to change.

Fry knew all this as she had slept with someone to get the paper but she ignored it all, thinking it nothing but lies, to her this had been the last job before she moved up to her own ship where she made the rules. That was going to go up in smoke unless she came up with a good enough lie to cover this mess. After all, it wasn't her fault that they crashed on a monster-filled planet.

Holding the bottle tightly she gritted her teeth and moved forwards, she began her dangerous climb to the top, her feet sinking into the mud, her body tense as she tried to not slip back down again, fingers beginning to ache as they sink into the cold wet mud, pulling herself up the sloop slowly. She hated how her back was so exposed right now but what could she do, it was hard enough pulling herself up with one hand, she tried to make sure no mud cover the glass when she used that hand to stable herself but it wasn't easy. 'Please, please let me get through this.' she prayed.

"ROAR..." at the bottom of the hill rang through the air, it sent her heart racing with panic and fear, she dares not turn to see what was down there. The thing that was hunting her had gotten to close for comfort. Working her legs faster she tried to get to the top faster and away from the threat behind her, raising the light over her for protection, she needed to get to the Skiff and its safe of more lights.

Panting for breath in the thin air her thoughts turned to the man waiting at the Skiff and away from the creature. If she didn't she felt her heart was going to give out on her because of her fear.

Fry knew she had to make it there before Riddick left her behind. She hoped he would finally look at her like she wanted him to now the freak was gone. 'Why shouldn't he, he isn't under any spells any more with that freak gone, he might even take me into his arms as soon as he sees me. Yes, he will have me as a mate now and protect me from this beast that following me. Maybe even taking it down like he had the others.' Her crazed mind thought, moving even faster up the mud hill seeing the end of it getting closer, she had to get to her man. And he will be hers.

0-0-0-0-0-0

The sounds of the rain pouring heavily against the hull of the ship, it is a soothing sound surrounded Riddick as he worked, it would be calming if not for the pain inside his cold heart. He was still numb to everything bar the pain, his mind focused on the task of getting off the planet and away from the memories of his mate.

He had opened the bottom floor panel and was in the process of placing the heavy Cells inside the engine unit, connecting them to the ship took a little longer as the Cells were from the Hunter Gratzner and that had been a merchant vessel, a totally different model then the small passenger ship he had just removed and dumped outside. As he worked he thought over what else needed doing, he knew that the wings were in working order now thanks to Shazza patch work on them and the hull was 100% from spying on Fry's little test before everything went to hell. Food and water were going to be a problem if he didn't get found quickly. If he had to he could always put an SOS out with his name on it. A Merc was bound to come running for the bounty on his head and he just hoped to avoid that for now.

'Though maybe killing off some of those bastards would be just the thing to stop this empty feeling inside my chest, rage, and blood to clear away the pain.' Riddick thought as he connected another Cell. He knew it wouldn't stop the hurt and pain of losing a mate but it would channel the rage he was feeling inside, maybe one of the fuckers would get lucky and end it all for him. Riddick had never thought he would be brought to the point of wanting to walk into deaths arms, especially only having known someone less than a few days but whatever he was, having a mate and losing them feels like he had already died, his body just didn't know it yet. Sometimes he wondered what would he be feeling if he had been a normal human instead of than animal wearing human skin.

Gritting his teeth at his dark thoughts Riddick quickly hooked up the last Cell. Once he connected the last wire to the skiff the panel at the front flickered on with life. All around him switches began to glow brightly as all systems came online for the first time in years.

Riddick looked up as the lights when the skiff powered up and hum with life, seeing no faults or anything that needed fixing he smirked darkly, everything was ready to go.

Standing up he closed the floor panel with his foot, once it clicked into place he moved towards the hatch and glazing out all he saw were purples, pinks, and white, No hints of green or black that he truly wished to see.

The only movement was the rain pouring down, none of the beasts dare come close to the Skiff, not with its lights fully on. They burned his eyes but he paid it no mind not with how much pain was trying to free itself from his heart.

There was no acknowledging to the actions he was about to take, no guilt in leaving the others to die. At this point, he just didn't care, they were nothing to him, strangers that got in the way of him getting his mate off this planet, him helping them had caused the loss of the one thing that matter to him the most. Looking one last time at the blackness an image of Harry standing by one of the buildings appear he stood in full colour, his green glowing eyes looking at him loving as his lips pulled into a sweet smile directed only at him.

Riddick growled, clenching his eyes shut as he shook his head, pain shooting through him. Taking in a deep breath he looks back at the building the image was gone. And with it the last of his hope of ever seeing Harry again.

It was over.

'There was no point in dreaming about him now, he's gone just like everything else good in my life. Nothing lasts. Not for me.'

Turning to the switch on the wall to his right he turned it from open to close, as the hatch started to close he took off the light harness, glazing down at it he gritted his teeth, the image of the others

flashing through his mind before he pushed it away violently, he was done playing hero. Looking up he shoots one last glance out of the closing hatch.

"Goodbye, Vixen." He whispered one last time to the darkness locking away the memories of their time together, only when the nights were cold and lonely will he visit them again. Soon the view outside disappearing as the hatch closed and Riddick felt it also closed the last door to his heart. Turning away, he smashed the lights against the wall breaking them beyond repair. He wouldn't be needing them anymore.

Walking towards the front of the ship he dropped the unless lights onto one of the open seats, stepping between the two pilot seats he sets himself down into the pilot chair. His body finally resting after everything.

Looking over the panel he saw that everything looked to be ready for lift-off. Flicking some of the switches he began flight checks, making dead sure that everything was ready to go and in working order. He didn't want to end up halfway into space then having life support failing.

The Skiff hummed as the engines started to power up, he set about putting the chairs harness on his eyes glued to the main control screen. He made himself more familiar with the skiff as he hadn't gotten the best of looks last time he was in here with the blonde bitch. He had been having a bit to much fun playing with her mind at the time. Though smelling her lust had made it difficult to be around her for too long. Frowning he turned back to the controls, there was no time to be thinking of those that didn't matter.

The Skiff was an outdated model, mostly luckily a cheap buy before the people settled here, from what he could see it was at least 50 years out of date. He could handle it though, from what he was seeing everything was in working order and he didn't have to run another hull diagnosis as the bitch had done that for him already. Checking over the power output on the screen he smirked when he saw that the Hunter Gratzner cells weren't going to overloads the engines once he takes off or in space. The Skiffs systems can handle the power as the Hunter Gratzner hadn't exactly been a top of the line ship. There shouldn't be any problems once out in space. And if there were it wouldn't be anything he couldn't handle.

Glazing up for a brief moment he jolted in surprise when his eyes landed on the last woman he expected to see standing in the rain, covered in mud and panting for breath in from of the Skiff. Her eyes locked on him through the window.

'Well I'll be damned, the bitch made it through the dark. This could be interesting.' Riddick thought not taking his eyes off Fry as he reached forward and flicked the off switch making the engines powered down, this was going to take time and he wasn't wasting cell power on this. He stood and saw she was making her way towards the back of the Skiff. With her out of sight he grabbed his shiv and span it in his hand, the light passes over the surface on the metal blade. Staring at it, he tightens his grip on the handle. He had one last thing to do before he could leave.

One last thing for he's mate.

Tucking it behind his back he covered it with his top to hide it from sight, it wouldn't do for the bitch to know what was coming her way. Moving to the back of the Skiff he thought on what Fry's game plan was, he knew the others must still be back at the cave so it meant they sent her, most likely to get more light and then go back for them, but this bitch wasn't planning on saving anyone, he knew that much from her actions so far. 'I wonder how far I will have to push for her true colours to come out.' He thought as he reaches out and the switch and let the hatch lower once

more. As it lowered to the ground he placed his hands above him and leaned slightly out, looking unconcerned and bored to the socked woman. Fry panted trying to get her breath back after her mad dash through the buildings, the sound of the engines driving her onwards, the fear of being left had near overwhelmed her but when the sight of the Skiff came into view and she saw Riddick seating in the pilot chair about to take off she felt nothing but relief and swallowed the lump that appears in the back of her throat, suddenly the fear she had been feeling since leaving the others and making a mad dash through the darkness faded at the sight of him. She had made it.

"Strong survival instinct," Riddick smirked. He could see the fear and want in her eyes and knew she was on the edge of fully breaking. Maybe a little more of a push and he would break her. He also notices the others weren't with her, looks like she left them behind, not surprising what was though was that they let her go on her own after all this is the woman that tried to kill them all in their sleep. 'Not smart.' he thought. Pushing the thought of the others from his mind he needed her to trust him just a bit longer. He looked her over and lied through his teeth. "I admire that in a woman."

"I...I promised them that we would go back with more light." Fry pleaded a fake concerned expression on her face. She had to make Riddick think she wanted to go back for the others before giving in. So if anyone asked then would be on the same page of everyone being killed before they left.

What she didn't know was Riddick could hear the falseness in her voice, he could instantly tell she was up to something he just had to work out what. The first thing that was obvious to him was the bitch didn't want to go back to help the others, her scent alone told him that she was after something else. He wonders how much he had to push for her to change her tone and revel her real intentions. Letting none of his thoughts appear on his face Riddick replayed sarcastically. "Did you? Did you really?"

Seeing the look on his face and hearing his tone Fry gulped, she had to hold her nerve, for her plan to work she had to appear not too eager or to give in too soon, she had to get him to invite her in. Standing tall in the rain she taunted him as she walked closer till she was at the edge of the ramp. "What? Are you afraid? If I could make it through without getting hurt then it shouldn't be such a big job for the Big Bad."

The bitch was trying to taunt him like he was that dumb to fall for her shit. To even think let alone say that to him showed him how far gone in madness she was. Fear had no meaning to him now what was there to be afraid of when one has already lost the one thing that bound him to give two fucks, the universe could fucking end right then and there and he wouldn't give a shit. Oh, he will keep fight till his last breath but he wasn't going out of his way to help anyone. Showing none of the anger, he instead smirked darkly at her. "Then you can make it back. Why should I."

"Come on Riddick. There gotta be some part that wants to re-join the human race." Fry said with her high and mighty tone, underneath it all her fear and lust were growing so much it was hard for her to not to fall to at his feet and beg him to take her, his strong body radiated so much power and animal magnetism that her thoughts were getting harder to control and keep to the plan. She did everything possible to make sure those feelings won't be seen on her face, after all, she was once again the leader and captain and had to act like it for this to work. 'He looks pissed for now but if I push just enough I can turn this around. No way am I going back for them. Not when I have nearly everything I want waiting for me in that skiff.'

The tone got on Riddick fucking nerves, it made it hard for him not to just reach behind him and

slash the bitch's throat out but that wasn't how he wanted to play this, he had to see how far he could push her before he ended it all. To get her hopes up and dash them, to see the pain and hurt in her eyes that mirrored what was in his heart.

"Truthfully, I wouldn't know how," Riddick said coldly and at this point, he didn't care to.

"Well then just give me more light for them, I'll go back by myself," she said inside her mind though she panicked, this wasn't going the way she wanted she needed him to start to persuade her to come with him.

"Okay." Riddick reached to where he left the light harness he had broken earlier and throws it at her feet, deep into the muddy water. A cruel smirk in place, he waited to see what she was going to do with that. "There you go. Enjoy the trip back."

"Please," Fry begged, making her face falling into depression at the thought of going back out there. She had to get him to change his mind in making her go back, there was no way she was risking her life for those people. 'You want me Riddick.' she willed inside her mind before saying out loud. "Just come with me. I can't go get them myself not alone. Please, Riddick."

"I've got a better idea," Riddick said out the blue catching her attention. "Come with me."

her heart nearly stopped at those words, she had been praying he would say them but to hear them was another thing, looking deeply at his face she hoped he was telling the truth. Fry whimpered, "You're fucking with me. I know you are."

she dare not hope as she stared at him her heart beating faster and faster, she wanted so much to believe him, that her plan had worked but so much was riding on him believing her to be swayed to his side. Glazing at the Skiff, it looked so inviting inside away from the danger of being eaten at any moment wit its bright light and strong hull, to beside Riddick as they take off.

"You know I am?" Riddick said mocking before his tone turned ice cold. "You don't know fucking anything about me."

If she did she would have taken her chances with the monsters instead of rushing to his side. Oh, she played a mean game but was nowhere up to his level, only one had and he was gone. Feeling the shiv cool metal against his skin he knew what he had to do. He was going to kill her, she had tormented his mate too much to be allowed to go free. As soon as she was close enough he was going to end it all.

"I will leave you here." He said seriously. Waving his arm to the hatch as he stepped down the ramp.

"I...I..." now was the time to give in but not to quickly she didn't want to give the game away, it had to seem like her will to save the others was leaving her. She stared into those dark goggles and gave her answer. "I have to or the company will send me to the slam, I can't go there. I wouldn't last in there Riddick."

"You won't have to worry about the company ever again. Here. I'll make it easy on you." Riddick said holding her hand out to her, what she didn't notice was his other hand moving to his back and grabbing the handle of his shiv.

'He wants me, finally, after all this work he wants me and not some freak.' She gazed lovely at his

outstretched hand, her thoughts and feeling raced through her at everything she worked so hard on coming together at last. Palms sweating and her heart beating a mile a minute she felt so much joy she was fit to burst. The very thought of finally being alone with him inside the skiff without none of the others getting in the way the whole journey sent her lust through the roof. Around them her scent gave how aroused she had become. Now that freak was gone there was no one stopping her getting the gorgeous man, finally.

She took a step towards him with her hand raising to grab his, blind to what the other one was doing hiding behind his back.

Riddick watched her with a growing smirk, his hand tightening on the shiv, his blood beginning to sing for the scent the enemy blood.

Just before she could touch Riddick's hand, their moment was broken by the sound of clapping.

Fry back stepped away from Riddick she spins around in surprises and fear, she thought for a second one of the others had followed her. Seeing nothing because of the darkness she turned to Riddick about to ask if he could see anyone but she saw he too was gazing around. Though the look on his face wasn't fear like her own but surprise.

Holding back the tide of a wave of emotions that were threatening to break free from inside him at having his chance to end the bitch interrupted something his mate would have wanted. Riddick gazed around to see who had joined them. He couldn't see anything out of place, not even a creature, but were corners that can hide someone from sight.

Holding in a growl Riddick lifted his head and lets his nose tell him. Their guest was hiding where he couldn't see them but his scent would tell him all he needed to know. Suddenly a scent of copper of freshly spilled blood and rainforest reached him sending shock waves through him. A scent he thought he would never smell again. The wave of emotions he had been holding back near bust out of him but he had to hold back, he needed to know that his nose wasn't playing tricks on him.

"Riddick what is it," Fry whispered fearfully, looking to him for protection from whatever or whoever it was. She knew that if it was one of the group, having followed her after all then they had seen her reaching to take Riddick's hand, that she was going to leave the rest of them here if the company found out she wouldn't see the light of day again.

Cold laughter spilled out through the air, it sent shivers of dread down her spire, her fear staring to rise higher inside her. While the laughter sent

pleasure down Riddick's he knew that laugh but it couldn't be.

Both turned to where the sound had come from and their hearts stop for two very different reasons when the being stepped from behind one of the building into the light of the skiff.

In the light of the skiff, the figure of one Harry Potter stood. A half-naked, bloody and covered in dirty rags that they could see wounds peaking at the edges, very different from when they last saw him but still very much alive.

"What a touching scene. So gut-wrenchingly sweet I do believe I shall be sick to my stomach." Harry sneered darkly, eyes flashing between red and green and his fangs could be seen peeking over his blood-red lips. The rage so clearly on his face that it sent shivers down their spines, though for two very different reasons.

"No, you died," Fry whispered in horror.

"My death was greatly exaggerated." He flashed her his fangs in a deadly smile.

'Thoughts' "Talking"

Chapter 23

The tension around them was so thick it made it hard to breathe for one Carolyn Fry who was finding it hard to keep from screaming at what she was seeing. All her plans and hope were going down the drain because of one being that should be dead. He stood before them like a vengeful god and it sent fear like nothing she had ever felt before racing through her.

His appearance was downright frighting, he looked like something that walked out of her nightmares, his once pale skin was covered in scratches and bruise, there could be more but wet mud hide much of it, his chest dirty and bound in stained cloth though the bloody rages did little to hide the gashes and wounds that were spread over his body. He looked so injured he shouldn't be standing but that did nothing to weaken his fearful appearance, it added more to him being an unholy being, a demon sent to take her soul for everything she had done.

Harry felt all the pain he had been pushing away fade, his bloodlust rising to the surface as his pray stood before him at last. Reaching up he pushed his wet hair from his face, blood-stained droplets

falling down his body as it flicked over his shoulder, he wanted his view clear for what was about to happen. He made sure to not break eye contact with the bitch, he had wanted so badly to look at Riddick but what he had witnessed before showing himself has left him a little pissed. He will wait to see what his mate had to say about offering her a place on the skiff before passing judgment but for now, his full attention was on the very scared woman in front of him. The rain stung his open wound but he paid it no mind, it did its job of clearing some of the blood and mud from him when he had followed the bitch here. And what was a little blood to the pain and anger of nearly dying again.

Oh, he was going to enjoy this, even now the fear was thickening around them like rich fine wine. It sent shivers of pleasure down his spine, it was time to let his dark side out to play, something he didn't think he would ever do again after the last time but this bitch just brought out the worst in him. His fingers flexed as his bloodlust grew inside him, her fear made it worse for him to control himself but he put a tighter hold on his creature sides, there was no way he was going to end her quickly let alone drink from this cow.

Fry gulped the lump in her throat, her mind was trying hard to come up with some explanation as to how this monster was standing in front of her, it was like her nightmare came to life before her. 'How I saw him taken away, how could he be back. This couldn't be real.' there was a good reason she was freaking out as she could remember making eye contact with him, smirking and looking smug as the creature came towards him from above, remember the cry he gave as it took a hold of his neck and drag him away. 'This isn't possible.' Her terrified mind screamed she was scared out of her wit.

Holding his body still as his emotions went haywire inside, Riddick couldn't take his eyes off Harry. He truly believed he had lost him forever, but here he was standing. His sliver gaze drank in his very detail of his very much alive mate, hurt but still as beautiful as the first time he set eyes on him, he was more wild and untameable now like a storm waiting to be unleashed from its flesh- covered cage.

Ice that had covered his heart for the last few hours began to creak and melt, the pain he had felt before began to fade and ease the more he took in the sight of his mate. He would like nothing more than to shove his blade into the bitch and take Harry into his arms and reclaim what was his right there on the mud-covered ground. Sadly that will have to wait, he could see how injured his mate was and it was pissing him right off that some creature had hurt what was his. Looking at Harry's face he could see the anger and rage burning in those eyes and he knew he had some explaining to do once the bitch was out the way. From where Harry stood seeing him offer her his hand would off pissed him right off, not that he could blame him he would have been the same if he saw Harry doing the same to old Billy boy Johns. Seeing those eyes flash red towards Fry had his senses on high alert, Harry was more than just anger with the woman he was enrage, it set even him on edge with home much 'killing intent' he was giving off, there was something he was missing, out of the corner of his eye he watched how Fry was acting, she looked downright terrified of his mate and there had to be a reason for that. He didn't have long to found out what.

"Har...Harry...How..? This isn't possible. You were taken, we all saw it..." Fry stuttered out, the very sight of him scared her shitless. Licking the rain off her cracked lips, her thoughts raced on what to do. This wasn't right, her plan had come along so well when he had been taken by that creature, it was meant to finish him off for her and get him out of her way for good. She could still picture his shocked face in her mind it was meant to be an image that would make her smile as she grew old with Riddick. But that wasn't the case, instead of joy at finally getting Riddick, she was freaking out with fear that was sending her blood pressure through the roof at she took in the sight

of him.

He looked like he had been through hell and come out angrier she had ever seen him. Panic was starting to build as she realized seeing him meant for her and her plans.

"Why Carolyn..." Harry purred advancing closer to her, the sinister smile on his lips making her tremble. "You do surprise me, my dear."

"Surprise??" she asked with a gulp.

"What's going on?" Riddick asked stepping close to Harry.

He ignored Riddick for now, his mate would detract him from his goal and nothing was going to stop him now, he will deal with Riddick later. With a sway in his hips, he seems to glide towards the scared woman. "I should have seen it coming really. The clues were all there but I guess I can put my foolishness to what was happening around us at the time."

Harry stopped in the middle of the light, the closer he had gotten to her the more she back up towards the edge of the light. He didn't want her to step into the talons of the creatures waiting there just yet, not till he was done. "I became distracted. And for that, I paid nearly with my life, shame on me, really."

"I...I.." Fry stuttered but Harry waved his arm sharply through the air cutting her off.

He wasn't finished. He hissed. "After all, here's me thinking you couldn't outdo yourself, what with ordering me down that fucking hole or you would have made Jack go. But you go and pull this shit. Should have seen it coming, after all a coward like you couldn't end me themselves, you'll be dead before getting within two feet of me with a weapon, so when you saw your chance you took it."

"I...I don't know what you're talking about, this is all crazy talk." Fry stuttered out shooting Riddick a look before facing Harry again, blinking the rain from her eyes, her hand tightening on the glowing bottle. It was her only safety haven now and if need be a weapon because she knew everything was about to go to hell.

"Oh don't you. I find that hard to believe Fry. How can you forget that one moment between us so soon? What happened back in the canyon my dear Carolyn will be with me forever" Harry hissed her name, fangs bare for all to see. "I will never forget!"

She stumbles away from Riddick and the safety of Skiff till she stood in the middle of the light that surrounded them, her instincts telling her to get far away from Harry as possible, but there was nowhere to go. She was trapped and they all knew it. Around them the stink of her fear overwhelmed the two men's noses, it got even worse when Harry began to circle her.

Riddick backed up till he was by the Skiff's ramp out of the way of his very deadly and pissed mate watching with a confused frown on his face at what he was hearing. It didn't take much for him to get an ugly feeling that this bitch was the reason that his mate was taken from him. Everything his mate was talking about was leading to that being the truth, plus the fear and panic in Fry's face were too much of a clue she knew what Harry was talking about.

The deadly dance taking place before him made his brain cloud slightly, it had felt like an age since he had seen his mate and seeing him like this, a deadly predator circling its prey was a huge

turn on, he was having a hard time as the mate he thought dead was now standing right in front of him and all he wanted to do was kill the bitch and then take him right there on the floor. He needed to reclaim what he thought he had lost. 'Time for that later, I need to know what this bitch did to my Vixen then once she is dealt with all bets are off.' He thought.

Harry paid no mind to Riddick and the lust that was coming from him, no his focus was on the bitch cowering before him. He could hear her heart bearing like as fast as a rabbit, scared to the point she was close to giving herself a heart attack. He watched as her ice blue eyes glued to him, wide open and following his every move as he moved around her. Just out of the corner of his eye he could see the confused frown on his Hunters face at his words, Riddick knew about the hole but he hadn't heard yet what else that bitch had done.

'He is going to be pissed as hell when he hears what she did, not that he can do anything this bitch is MINE.' Harry thought darkly before turning his full attention onto the bitch, he came to a stop at the bottom of the skiff he turned to face her. "Its all I have been thinking about as I made my way through the mud and blackness of this hellish planet. The only thing that kept playing over and over inside my mind as I fought with those beasts with nothing but my claws and blade."

"Now I

have to think of a fitting punishment for you, so many ways to end your pathetic existence." Harry hissed, he raised his hand and watched his fingers flex as they grew once more into deadly blades, his eyes bleeding red around the edges as his blood lust and rage heightened. Images of her death flashed through her mind the sweet scent of her fear flowed under his nose. his eyes shoot back up to her face and a dark smile graced his lips, he was going to enjoy this.

"You cant! I'd did nothing to you!" Fry shouted. Holding her bottle like a club. She knew what danger she was in now, the freak was out for her blood and from the look on Riddick's face he wasn't going to interfere, she was going to have to take the freak out herself. for that moment she wished she had Johns' Gun.

"Why Fry yes, I can and yes you did! I can't let you get away with getting me nearly KILLED!" Harry roared. Using his speed to get right in her face causing her to scream in fear before it was cut off as he grabbed her neck and rose her up off the ground.

In her panic, she tried to use her bottle to bash in his head. Harry was quicker though and grabbed her wrist, holding it away from him.

"Naughty naughty girl, you should know not to hit your betters." Harry tightened his grip and smirked when she screamed in pain as her wrist bones ground together. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't keep her hold on her only weapon and it falls from her grip and thudded onto the wet ground. Harry kicked the bottle away from them, he didn't want her getting any more ideas. Staring into her frightened eyes he tightens his grip once again on her wrist and sharply twisted it to the side, a loud shattering sound echo around them as the bone snapped in half.

"AHHHH!" Fry shrieked, tears falling from her eyes at the pain, she used her other hand to claw at hand holding her neck, wanting to be free and away from the one dishing out the torture. Her weak attack though did nothing to weaken Harry's hold.

"Did you think I didn't see that smug expression on your face back at the canyon, you bitch, that little smug smile before that fucker grabbed me by the neck and dragged me up that cliff side. You

saw it and didn't warn me, hoping it would kill me and you wouldn't have to dirty your hands with my blood." Harry sneered at the crying woman's face, eyes glowing red with his rage.

Harry heard a loud growl behind him, his Hunter now understanding that if the bitch had warned them Harry wouldn't have been taken from him. Harry could feel massive amounts of rage coming from his mate which was surprising as he started being able to feel any emotions through the bond yet. Something to think on later as he had the bitch to deal with. He knew Riddick wouldn't interfere with this fight just like he hadn't got involved with Johns's end.

Fry's mind was in shambles with the overload of pain and fear she was going through, she cried out even more when Harry used his claws to slash at her back, from shoulder to shoulder. she arched into his chest his hold on her neck stopping her from getting away from the pain. Harry felt nothing but deep satisfaction with her pain, he had mirrored the bruises that covered his entire back from the beast knocking him to the ground. she was no were feeling the pain he did when that happened.

"Stop... I did nothing wrong!" Fry yelled. Wanting nothing more than the freak to let her go. In her mind, she did nothing anyone else wouldn't have done when faced with a monster like him.

"Nothing wrong? Dear Carolyn you must think me a right dumb ass to believe that." Harry sneered as he made another slice into her flesh this time her kicking legs, with so much movement she made the cut larger than his own not that he minded. "There is a saying I was once told so many years ago, now what was it, ah yes I believe it was 'An eye for an eye,' Fry."

"Please no more..." She gasped out, sobs shaking her body. "Let me go..."

"No-no, my dear, I think you should feel what I went through from start to finish," Harry snarled. Reaching for his magic once again, the pool inside him so drained he didn't know if this would work but he had to try he had to have his revenge. Deep inside him, hidden from his magic sight a glowing ball sleeping beside his magic core, woke just enough to hear his wish, it sent a bolt of power into his core, filling his enough to cast his spell before going silent once again, waiting for its time.

Harry felt or saw any of this he just blink in surprise to notice his magic had regenerated enough to use again. Holding her in place, he elevated his hand and pointed a finger to her legs, hissing out. "Diffracto."

Fry shrieked as the light touched and faded into her legs, a loud snap blasting through the air, her legs twitching as they were shattered and could no longer holding her up, the only thing keeping her up was Harry's hand around her neck.

"That is what I felt as I landed after getting free from that creature, painful isn't it, if not for my magic I would have broken my legs," Harry explained to the sobbing woman. He was going to pay her back in full.

"STOP, GOD JUST LET ME GO YOU FREAK!!" she yelled through her tears. She had never been through so much pain before it was unbearable as wave after wave hit her.

Harry growled at the word 'Freak' it was the one word that always sent images long past through his mind of pain and being unloved something he never wanted or will go through again. Reaching down he graded a hold of her leg and before she could work out what he was doing he dug his claws right into her tender flesh.

"AHHH!" she screamed, her mind blanking out from all the pain.

"Does it hurt my dear? Try imaging long talons of those creatures tearing into your flesh as you lay helpless on the ground wounding if you are about to die." Harry hissed, his fangs bare as he stared into her pained face. "Not fun is it."

Ripping his claws out he watched as blood spread into the air, rivers of it running down her leg and mixing with the rain. He made sure no to hit any main artery, he didn't want the bitch to bleed to death in seconds after all. He was far from done.

"Does it pain you, Fry? I thought it fitting if your wounds matched what I was gifted in my fight for life." Harry purred darkly as she withered in his hold. "I hope so as I am far from done."

Every wound he gained since landing on this planet he slow and painful placed on her own body, from the ones he had gotten from the hole to the ones he had gained in his fight. Her screams and yells rang around them, it was music to Harry's ears. He was truly letting his dark side out to play.

When he stopped placing the wounds on her back she shuddered and gasped out. "Stop it...your a monster..."

"Me a monster, oh no Fry, there is only one monster still on this planet and that is you." Harry hissed. "You selfish girl, you have done nothing but hurt others since this all started, you killed so many people before we even woke up from Cryo, does that make you feel better knowing that those poor people, adults, and children woke just before everything went dark again. Did it feel you with pleasure knowing their blood covered every inch of your skin? And what about poor Owens he was the real hero wasn't he, he stopped you killing the last of the passages, he stopped you murdering us in our sleep. Sadly his reward was a pole through the chest."

"No, I didn't do that... I saved everyone." Fry denied. She didn't kill anyone, this freak did if he never came aboard they wouldn't have landed here.

"Oh, how delusional you are my dear, no you are a murder, you killed them and you tried to kill the rest of us, oh Jack would have met her end if she had gone down that hole, so I stepped in like fool and went instead. Do you know what it's like to feel fear nearly overwhelming that it nearly makes your heart stop."

She shacks her head sobbing

"No," He leans closer you will. Her eyes widen in horror as his eyes began to glow, the green in them starts to swirl and spin red bleeds into the red and a hellish fire burned through them. He hissed. "I'll show you."

Before she could cry her mind started to fill with images of darkness and shadows, monsters clawing and tearing into her flesh. On the floor surrounded her bodies of hundreds of people covered in blood and gore. Suddenly pain like nothing she had ever felt before tore through her body. It trembled and rocked, her hand that had once dug into his own fell and jacked like she had been hit by a bolt of lightning. Head back her unseeing eyes followed the monsters only she could see.

"AHHH!" Harry smiled as her screams rang around them, he had only planed a few nightmarish images along with a slight pain spell. She sounded like she was under the Cruciatus curse, he had wanted to use that but there was too much of a risk of her becoming a vegetable and no understand

why she was being hurt. Plus he knew he was running out of time before his own body gave up and fell to the weakness that was slowly spreading through it, he noticed he had lost more strength when he cast the spell.

He gave her a shake when he ended the spell. It looked like she was going to pass out, her eyes rolling and shaking. "There is no time to sleep Fry, there still a few more things to pay you back for."

It was coming time to end this. Tightening his hand around her neck he watched as her hand trembled as it reached up and grabbed onto his hand again her bloodshot eyes stared into his own with pain and hatred, her hand tried to get his fingers to loosen around her neck by clawing at his hand but the pain from her nails was nothing but a bug sting to him after everything he had been through and he wasn't letting her get away from him again.

"Let me go..." She wailed, no longer being able to take any more.

"No," Harry replied, he had one last thing

to mirror on her before he was done, raising his free hand he watched as her eyes flicker to it in dismay, when he rested his sharp fingernail upon her shoulder he looked her dead in the eye, fear, pain, and hate stared right back at him, smiling sinisterly he drove his nail in till the cloth tears and he starts digging into her flesh. She lets out her loudest scream, blood starts welling up and out, coving them both. He held tightly to her thrashing body he dragged his nail from her shoulder to her hip, slowly.

He wiggled his nose when he caught the scent of urine around him, it looks like she had let her bladder go, surprising really as she held up against everything before but this seems to torture her more, no matter as her screams were music to his ears and he slowly drew the mirror image of his wound on her. Now they matched from start to finish.

In the darkness around them, while Harry was working on Fry they grew in a crowed of Creatures, more than any of them had ever seen. gazing at them a plan formed in his mind. 'What a fitting ending to the night.' he thought as more of the creatures got as close as they dared to the edge of the light, fighting each other over the scent of blood that could be smelt even through the rain. 'And what a pretty sight it is.' Harry's more animal side purred, all her blood was surrounding them on the mud-covered ground, mixing with the rainwater turning its once ruby shade to a pretty pink.

The creatures grew more excited by the strong scent of her blood filling the air. Harry ignored them as he slowly dug his claws into her neck, choking out her pained cries. Giving her a shake he catches her eye and smirked darkly. he appeared so strong and invincible but what he was hiding under all his rage was how tried he was growing, his body was sagging with weakness as time went on, this had to end sooner than he liked but needs must. "I had so many other ideas planned out for you Carolyn, so many plans but sadly my enjoyment has been cut short and I have better things to do with my time than playing with your worthless self all night," Harry said touching her cheek with a mock caress as she sobs. "Oh no, my dear. Don't be sad, we had a blast after all but I feel I have taken up to much of your time already and there are others who are just killing themselves to have your lovely company..."

"What..." she whimpered out confusedly, she didn't understand what the hell he was on about, there was no one else bar them. 'He's lost his mind.' she thought scared as Harry leaned closer to her his eyes burning into hers. He whispered two words that shoot made her heart stop and the breath gasp from her lungs. "...For dinner."

"No! No! No! You're insane you FREAK!" She yelled struggling to get out of his grip if she could just get away from him for a moment maybe she could get Riddick to finish him off. Not thinking of her broken legs and wrist making it impossible for her to run.

"Now my dear Carolyn, you shouldn't talk about yourself like that. You were insane long before I came along. Now its time to say goodnight," Harry whispered. With those parting words, Harry lifted her into the air and throws her away from him. She let out a scream as she flew through the air, the air was knocked right out of her once she hit the ground hard, mud and water splashing into her face as she groaned in agony and rested her head in the mud, her blonde hair becoming brown with the mud. Not noticing that she was dangerously close to the edge of the light.

Staring at her withering body Harry paid little attention to Riddick walking towards him, he could feel the heat of his mate once he came to a stop to stand beside him, watching Fry alongside him.

Fry's body was in agony, every cut and bruise was sending waves of pain to her already overwhelmed mind. Rolling onto her front she gritted her teeth as she pushed herself up, she didn't get very far before falling flat against the ground again her cheek resting in the cold mud, turning to the left she looked up and her eyes widen in fear when she saw how close she was to the darkness, she quickly pushed against the ground, trying so hard to get away from the darkness that held only death, but with her body being so weak from blood loss she only moved a few inches away from it, she needed help and fast. Spinning her head around till her eyes landed on Riddick who was watching beside the freak, he was her only hope of living through this now. 'He has to help me he wanted me to go with him, not that freak.' Her sacred mind cried. Looking Riddick dead in the goggles she reached out her hand to him her eyes pleading as she tried to crawl away from the edge towards him.

"Riddick! PLEASE HELP ME"

Riddick let out a dark laugh, he shakes his head, smirking at the downed woman, seeing her eyes pleading with him he reaches behind him and taking out his blade. Holding it in front of him he runs a finger over its sharp edge, bearly pressing down before a drop of blood wells up and stains the blade. Looking up he watches as her eyes widen in confusion he said darkly. "I don't think so, Fry. You see, it pisses me off when anyone hurts what's mine and you not only did that you tried to get him killed. You have some balls I'll give you that but nothing gets between me and my mate and lives to tell the tale."

"No, I didn't I swear you have to believe me, Riddick, he is lying..please.." Fry begged tears streaming down her face. "You were going to take me with you."

"Fry your one crazy bitch, did you believe I was going to let you onto the ship. The moment you took my hand I was going to shove my shiv right into your spin, into the sweet spot. You remember me telling you about it, even that bastard Johns has felt its touch there." Riddick smirked darkly.

Harry felt his body sag slightly at those words, his mate had been planning to kill the bitch, he should of know but even though they were mates they had only know each other for a few days. He needed to trust Riddick more. And with the time they now had, he will learn to.

"No..." She whimpered in disbelief. Seeing the happy and relieved look on the freak's face as he shoots his mate a smile, it sent rage and pain through her heart.

"Yes. Because even if my mate wasn't with me again you still wouldn't have made it off this

planet." Riddick growled, he saw as her eyes showed nothing but pain. He didn't care one bit. the bitch nearly killed his mate and made him go through so much pain thinking he was dead. he could have left him here without even knowing he was still alive and that sent shivers down his spine. Glazing at Harry he felt happy to notice the relieved look on his Harry's face, he knew his mate had been confused about what he had been doing with the bitch but that was now made clear to him that he had been playing the foolish woman.

"Goodbye, Fry. We have taken up to much of our time with you and your new friends are dying to meet you." Harry smirked. his mood much improved with Riddick's expression.

Fry blinked in confusion wounding what he was talking about when a sharp claw grabbed her leg. Harry and Riddick watched on with smirks while Fry thrashed and screamed in terror as she was dragged into the darkness, her shrieks growing in pitch and filling the air when the creatures began their feast and tore right into the fresh meat. One pulled and tore at her leg till it ripped off with a spray of blood, another did the same with her swinging arm, ripping it from her shoulder. Her shrieks rang around them as the creatures run off with their meals before they could be stolen from them.

Her cries cut off when one of the creatures tore into her chest and gorged itself on her black heart.

Relief washed over Harry when he felt death come and claim her soul. It was over and he no longer had to watch his back with the bitch finally in hell where she belongs. Weakness washed over him, he staggered and fell forward but before he could hit the ground he let out a yelp of surprise as he was grabbed around the waist and pulled hard against Riddick's chest. Resting his hands on Riddick's chest he looked up in wonder before letting out a gasp as he was pulled into a hard kiss that near bruised his lips. He melted into the kiss and embrace, all his aches and pains faded to the background until there was nothing but pleasures washing over his body and soul. He shivered at the heat of the kiss, not even the rain cooling them in their moment of reunion. Harry let out a moan and griped Riddick's wet top tightly in his fists, passion raced through his body as he was squished against his mate.

He was back in his hunter's arms where he was meant to always be and he couldn't be happier. When he was out there in the darkness for a second there he thought he wouldn't make it back alive. If it wasn't for the stone he wouldn't be here right now.

Riddick finally broke the kiss and rested his forehead against Harry's, inhaling his lovely mate's scent before saying. "Never again are you leaving my side vixen. This fucking planet isn't taking you from me again."

"Never again Riddick," Harry whispered back his now green eyes staring into Riddick's goggle covered ones. "I'm not leaving your side."

"No one ever got close enough to make me care or fall for them like you have Harry. Don't put me through losing you again." There was so much anguish coming through his voice and he didn't even think to hide it from Harry. He had gone through hell with the thought of losing his mate.

Harry couldn't bear to hear such pain in his Hunter's voice he promised him anything at that moment. "Riddick, I will do everything in my power to make sure that I come back. Death will not claim me without a fight."

Riddick held his mate to him in a tight embrace. Harry laid his head on his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat, its rhythm soothing

him. They both ignored the sound of the creatures that were fighting over their meal and the rain the fell over them. Both wanted so much to reassert their claim on each other, to prove they were together again but just holding each other was enough for now.

Pulling back Riddick reached down and gently touched the bandages on Harry's chest, it pained him to see his Vixen so badly wounded. He growled at the thought of how close he came to lose his mate to this fucking planet.

"Don't worry Riddick," Harry said tenderly reaching up to stroke the side of Riddick's face, he knew his injuries weren't a pleasant sight for his mate, it just showed him how much he had gone through to get here and to tell the truth he would do it all over again just to be beside Riddick again. "As soon as I have had a good feed and found my bag again I'll take some potions, I'll be all healed up and good as new."

"You shouldn't have been hurt in the first place. If I had been paying more attention to the bitch she wouldn't have gotta away with hurting you again." Riddick growled, it pissed him off that the bitch got away with hurting him mate once again. He should have known she wasn't going to sit back and wait for Harry to go after her.

Harry saw the emotions wash over Riddick's face, he didn't want him blaming himself for what had happened. The blame laid at Fry's feet and no other. "It wasn't your fault Riddick it was the bitches and creatures. She saw it coming and didn't warn any of us because she wanted me out of the way."

Harry rose on his toes and kissed Riddick on the cheek before running his nose along his cheekbone giving him a gentle nuzzle. "It's over now and I came back to you."

"How did you get back Harry? You had no light and your magic isn't the most reliable thing at the moment." Riddick asked running his hand up and down his mates back being mindful of the wounds that cover it.

"After getting free from that creature, I fell so far, at the last minute my magic came to my rescue and slowed my descent enough that the landing didn't kill me. Though for a moment there I did think my legs were shattering into a hundred pieces, it sure felt that way, I thank Merlin for my creature sides magic if I had been a normal wizard I'd be dead. I didn't get much time to take anything in before I was attacked. I was fighting so many and Merlin two were at least the size of big horses. Nothing we had seen on this planet so far has been that big... Alphas... The first I dealt with okay, sliced its throat open... but the second...it was going to kill me, Riddick."

Riddick growled and tightened his hold on his mate, seeing behind his eyes what his mate had gone through not knowing that it was their bond that was showing him those images.

"At that moment I thought death was going to take me when something happened," Harry whispered resting his head on his mate's chest, listening to his heartbeat. Anxiety and wonder clear for Riddick to hear.

Looking down at Harry's head, Riddick rumbled deep in his chest. "Harry..."

"As I laid on the ground my papa came and saved me, Riddick," He whispered meekly Riddick just hared him over the rain.

Pulling back Riddick tilled Harry's head up to look into his eyes. confusion clear on his own. Seeing this Harry giggled before reaching into his pocket and grabbed a hold of the stone.

As he pulled it out red/orange glowed through the creaks in his fingers, placing his hand between them he opened his palm and the light surrounded them.

"I forgot you had that," Riddick said gently reaching down to touch the smooth cool surface of the oval stone. He remembered Harry creating it back at the ship after that it had slipped his mind.

"So did I. It fell out of my pocket when I was struggling on the ground with that Alpha on top of me. I swear Riddick I felt my papa's magic surrounding me. Protecting me from harm." Harry spoke looking down at the stone. "I know it sounds crazy but its the truth, after all this time I still remember the feel of my papa's magic."

"I believe you Vixen." He would believe anything at this point when it involved his mate. Strange things seem to happen around him from time to time that he had stopped trying to explain. his mate was just full of surprises. 'Life will never be dull with my Harry along.' Riddick thought, smirking at the thought of a future with his mate by his side.

Harry smiled increase before grabbing the back of Riddick's head and pulled him into a deep kiss. Their lips moved over each other, their bodies getting more and more heated before a screech from the darkness broke them apart.

Riddick knew it wasn't the time to reclaim his mate, there would be plenty of time later, and he would make sure they had the time.

"Come on its time to get off this rock." Riddick grabbed Harry's free hand and started to pull him towards the Skiffs hatch.

Harry beamed and let Riddick pull him along he placed the stone back in his pocket as he looked up into the Skiff hatch and noticed something strange. There was no one else inside. He hadn't questioned where the others were before as he had been focused on Fry and Riddick.

"Riddick where are the others?" Harry asked with a frown, coming to a standstill at the foot of the ramp, causing Riddick paused on the ramp, his back tensing up before Harry's very eyes. Fear washed over him when his mate stayed silent.

"Riddick?" Harry became concerned at his mate's silence. He thought back and remember Fry's light coming from inside a cave that sat in a cliff wall. He hadn't given it too much thought as to why she had been in there. His mind had been blinded by revenge.

He watched Riddick's muscles tense even more as he didn't answer him. "Riddick, I followed Fry here once I made it back to the canyon, I saw her light come out of what I amused was a cave," Harry said staring at Riddick's back. All around them the rain fell and the creatures called but it did nothing to stop the rising tension, Harry took a breath and asked the question that Riddick dreaded. "Are they in that cave Riddick?"

Riddick took a breath letting Harry's hand go before rumbling. "Yes"

Harry asked softly. "Why Riddick? what happened after that thing grabs me."

"What happened...What happened Harry is I stopped FUCKING CARING!" Riddick roared as he spans round to face his mate. "I stopped giving a fuck! Just as I did before I even met you! I became Big Bad and left the dead weight behind."

Harry stepped back in shock, he had no idea Riddick had been going through so much thinking him dead. The anguish he had felt through the bond hurt but all he wanted to do was comfort him mate. "Riddick," Harry whispered stepping closer towards him.

"I'm a murder Vixen, The Big Bad! The Riddick. I'm not meant to worry about some stupid people I've never met before this! I'm more animal than man." Riddick rage turning away and storming up the ramp.

"You cared about me."

Riddick stopped at those words and turned to his head to look back over his shoulder at his soaked mate, in those green eyes he saw emotions that had never been directed towards him.

"You cared for me!" He sobbed tears slowly falling down his cheeks, joining the rainwater dripping from his hair.

Riddick stared a moment before turning fully to face his mate. He asked. "You'd die for them?"

"Yes, Riddick. I would die for them. " Harry smiled through his tears as he closed the distance between them until they were faced to face. Harry wished he could take those goggles off and see those sliver eyes he loved so much, Riddick would let him do it too but it would hurt him with the light shining on them and that was something Harry didn't want his mate to go through.

"I would also die for you," Harry said love shining through his eyes.

Riddick reaches out and touched Harry's cheek wiping his tears away with his thumb, he growled. "Never give your life away for me."

Leaning down he kissed Harry's forehead, his mate closing his eyes. "Live for me."

Opening his eyes harry nodded. "Always, as long as you do the same my Hunter."

Riddick smirked, who would of through he would find his mate on this shithole of a planet and end up going along with him to save people. 'Well, they say you do anything for those you love.'

"Do you think you can keep going with those wounds Vixen," Riddick asked giving Harry a once over, it still pissed him off to see how to hurt his mate was. He would have been happier if his mate stayed here but he knew Harry wasn't going to wait for him to come back. Not this time. "do you need to feed before we do this?"

"I walked all the way here with these wounds Riddick there's nothing that's going to stop me now," Harry smirked cockily at him. Oh, he knew he was weaker than before but for this, he would pull the last of his strength for one last push. "And no I can keep going without feeding for now. You're going to need all your strength to lead us back here."

"Well, you better grab that glowing bottle the bitch dropped, Vixen, we're going to need it," Riddick said nodding to the bottle on the ground.

Harry gazed at Riddick, nodding with happiness, he said. "Time to get the others..."

Walking down the ramp and back into the rain Harry bent down and grabbed the glowing bottle,

raising it to eye level his brow rose at seeing the glowing wiggling worms inside. Hearing Riddick follows Harry smiled, it was time to get the rest of their family and get off this rock.

"Let's do this Riddick. I have plans that can't be candled later." Harry said cheerfully as he stepped away his head tilled over his shoulder, giving Riddick a heated look.

"What plans?" Riddick asked.

"You'll find out once this is over." Harry grinned licking his lips as he gave Riddick a last once over. He had many plans involving his mate and a bed.

Riddick growled before grabbing Harry's hand, who yelped as he was

yanking him back and against his mate and kissed within an inch of his life.

Neither knew if this was to be their last kiss and with them facing danger again they made it count. They were going to do everything in their power to make it off this planet.

Together.

You know I thought I would make her so crazy but with everything she had gone through in the movie there were only two ways for her to go, be a hero or go mad and in my story I choose the madness.

'Thoughts' "Talking"

Chapter 24

At the edge of the light, Harry found himself pulled back into Riddick's grip. Lips pressed and parted in what they hoped wasn't their last kiss. Passionate lit like a roaring flame in them both. It was so hot and heavy that it left Harry weak at the knees and wishing more than anything they were off this planet and alone to enjoy their reunion to the fullest. Parting, both panted for breath, their eyes showing nothing but want and need, with a last look of promise. They turned and headed into the darkness.

Having taken his goggles down to rest on his chest, Riddick leads them through the darkness, where death waited around every corner. On high alert Riddick reached back and garbed Harry's hand, holding it firmly in his. He wasn't losing his mate to this planet again.

As they made their way through the buildings of the settlement Riddick's thoughts flashed to their last kiss, he hadn't planned on kissing Harry again but he had needed to feel his mate lips one more time before they did this. Coming out of the settlement Riddick got into the zone, became once more, the biggest bad out there.

Harry followed closely behind Riddick, knowing his mate knew where they needed to go and Harry kept the glowing bottle on his back so he didn't blind his mate. He thought about using his night sight again but trusted Riddick to lead him. Truthful he couldn't remember where he had first seen Fry. To blinded by his rage and hate to care.

Their feet splashed across the muddy ground as they moved quickly towards the canyon, the heavy rain was making it difficult to see but that didn't stop them. Stopping at the top of the hill, Riddick let go of Harry's hand and looked down the muddy slope.

"Go, it's clear," Riddick said once he checked every inch of the slope. He wasn't letting a single monster near his injured mate.

Nodding Harry sat down and pushed himself over the edge, the water lodged ground was easy to slide down and he couldn't help smiling at the makeshift slide, enjoying himself for the first time since this eclipse happened, even if it covered his backside in the mud. Coming to a stop at the bottom Harry got up quickly, using the rainwater to wash the mud from his hand. Looking behind him, he smiled as he saw Riddick sliding down like a surfer.

When he came to a stop beside Harry, raising a brow in question at Harry's smile. Harry just shakes his head. "Show off."

Giving him a smirk, Riddick reached out and took Harry's hand again and pulled him into the canyon. Harry glanced back at the high hill, he hoped the rain stopped soon, coming down may have been fun but going back up was going to be a problem. What with one of them being injured and the others tired from when they had been through.

When the creatures started appearing again, Riddick made sure to keep Harry close to his side as they moved down the path. He was happy that it was only a few coming out from the top of the canyon. The light from the bottle keeping them at bay but he knew sooner or later hunger would get the best of them.

He was proven correct halfway into their journey, one of the braver bastards came to close to Harry's left side, Riddick span Harry around, switching places with him, letting him go Riddick pulled out his shiv and swiftly ended it with a swing to the gut, slicing its belly from top to tail.

As it screeched and withered on the ground Riddick grabbed Harry's hand again and hauled him quickly away. Listening to the creature's kin finishing it off. 'Nothing is getting close to my injured mate.' Riddick thought as he slit the throat of another creature, kicking its twitching body away and into the hungry jaws waiting in the shadows. He knew that any of the creatures that survived his attack were soon taken out by their own kind, hunger drove everything on this planet to feed on any weak or injured. Only the strong survive.

'I guess on a planet with no other meat source, they have resorted to eating each other to live. With the mad dash earlier we thought they were trying to stop us but they're not that smart and being hungry to the point of not caring what they ate. They began attacking each other, driven mad with our scent. I bet those bodies must be stripped clean by now.' Harry thought, slowing his paces as he watched one of the ones Riddick slashed at getting overwhelmed by its kin and torn into.

"No time for sightseeing Vixen," Riddick said catching Harry's attention when he drew him back into paces with his steps.

"How far is it Riddick? I can't recall where I started following Fry, to blinded by my rage to pay anything else attention. And right now I don't trust myself to use a 'point me' spell again." Harry panted slight, his chest wound was starting to throb from all the running they were doing.

Riddick looked back at him with his brow raised in question. He wanted to know what the hell a 'point me' spell was. Harry blushed slightly with a grin "I'll tell you later about the spells I can cast

when we're off this planet. There is a lot to cover."

Nodded in agreement, Riddick smirked. "I'll hold you to that Vixen. Now it shouldn't be far now. Around this bend coming up."

They walked around the bend Riddick was talking about and came to a stop. Both glancing around them. Riddick spotted the large boulder he had pushed in front of the cave. Pointing it out with his shiv to Harry. "There."

Looking over Riddick's shoulder to the boulder Harry scents the air. He could faintly smell the others through the heavy rain. He did recall Fry's blue glow appearing from a wall, though the image was hazy, his anger had been too great to focus on anything but her. Walking around Riddick to stop beside him, making sure to keep the light on his opposite side, he glanced at Riddick and shared a smile. They had done it.

A screech jolted Harry out of his happy moment, both their heads shoot up to see one of the hammerhead creature, the biggest one Riddick had seen so far, clawing slowly down the cliff face towards the cave where the helpless group was hiding, not knowing of the danger heading towards them.

That was when Harry smelt what had caught the creature's attention through the rain. Jack, her scent was surrounding them once again, filling the air and was much stronger than before, not even the rain could hide it.

"Shit Riddick," Harry whispered out to his mate in fear. "That's as big as the alpha's I faced, if not bigger."

"Stay here," Riddick spoke intensely, placing his hand on Harry's shoulder and gently urging him back behind him. He wasn't letting his mate fight, not with his injures.

"Riddick..." Harry whispered, he didn't want to leave his mate to fight alone, this one was big, a full-grown alpha.

"No Vixen, not with your wounds. I can handle this easily. Trust me." Riddick smirked. There was no way he was letting his mate get hurt, he was stilled pissed his mate had been hurt so much because of Fry's actions, she had paid for it with her life, now these creatures were going to pay for marking what was his. After they were off this fucked up planet he wasn't letting Harry out of his sight anytime soon.

Harry nodded reluctantly and backed off. His mate was right, no matter how much it annoyed him, his chest wound and leg were throbbing and in no shape to fight something that big. And he did trust his mate to fight his own battles.

Eyes glued on Riddick, Harry watched him move like a predator on the hunt. Something he found very hot. 'plus if I fought that thing now there's no telling what could happen and I didn't want to be a burden to Riddick any more than I am, not when we're so close to saving the group and getting out of here.' Harry moved back towards the cliff wall, though not to close to it this time. Keeping the bottle close, he watched Riddick roll his shoulders, the sheer power in his mate's body was something else, he had a strength that wasn't exactly human but after all this time asleep Harry couldn't be too shocked that humans had mixed with aliens.

His attention was taken from his mate when the scent of Jack began to overflowing his nose once

again causing him to snort to get rid of it. 'I'm lucky the bandages and mud are coving my scent so well. This rain is thankful not washing it all away so I'm hidden from this thing. But poor Jack, I can't help cover her scent this time, I have nothing left, with no idea how long this rain is going to continue there is little hope of hiding from these creatures for long. We're in deep shit here and those creatures will be on our every step back.' Harry reclined against a rock and relaxed for a moment, he may not be fighting now but there was no telling what will happen in the next few hours. So leaning back a safe distance away, Harry watched his mate begin his deadly dance.

Riddick moves closer to the beast, his every step showed confidence that predators showed when stalking prey. With a quick movement, he bent down and grabbed a fist-sized rock. Holding his shiv with the other hand he waited and watched the creature grow closer to the cave. Timing it just right he throws the rock hard, hitting the creature right across the side of its head.

It let out a screech of shock and rocks its head, trying to see once again. Turning its head towards where the hit came from, an echo sound rang through

the air. It hissed when it saw a meal standing right in the open and with its hunger at the front of its mind the creature abandoned the sweet scent that it had been drawn to. With a screech, it pushed off the cliff wall and flew through the air towards Riddick.

Riddick crouch and waited, just as the creature was in front of him, mouth open to take a bite he rolled underneath its massive girth, coming out of the roll he lifted his blade and sliced a clear line from neck to tail. The creature didn't even get a screech out before it fell and crashed into the opposite cliff wall, its guts and entrails spilled over the ground as it withered around. Riddick stood and peered over to the downed creatures, it was still fighting for life even there was no hope for it. Walking over he placed his bloody shiv back into his belt, by its side he grabbed its head, getting a good hold he did what he had done before.

Snapping its neck in a clean break.

With a low crunch that echoed around them, the creature goes limp and dropped lifeless to the ground when Riddick lets go. Standing over his downed prey Riddick, felt a rush of pride and satisfaction, with the heated eyes of his mate on him. He lifted his head and let out a roar, it echoed around them. A loud and clear notices to everything on that planet that there was a bigger and more dangerous predator around. The beast inside was greatly pleased that they had shown their mate they could and would protect what was theirs.

As the sound faded, he turned and noticed Harry getting up from his rock and wandering over to him. The heat burning in those green eyes setting his blood alight with desire.

Not for one second did they take their eyes off each other as they came together one more. Sliver and green locked in a passionate gaze. Once Harry was close enough he reached up and took a hold of the back of Riddick's baled head and pulled him down, crashed their mouths together in a passionate and intense kiss.

Seeing his mate being so swiftly and deadly had set a fire inside Harry, it was so fast and powerful that he couldn't help but need Riddick to grasp how much he meant to him. He whimpered as Riddick took over the kiss as masterful as he took down that monster. His whole body thrumming with desire and want.

The scent of Harry's desire overwhelm Jack's, clearing the air so Riddick could only smell him, Riddick growled, wrapping his arms tightly around Harry's waist, holding him to his chest as he

took his fill of his mate. His lungs full of his heavenly scent, not even the rain couldn't dampen the beautiful scent.

His Riddick had taken his prey down in less than ten seconds, demonstrating to Harry's slightly bruised hybrid sides that Riddick was the perfect match for them, he would always protect them when they really in need of it.

Unnoticed by Harry or Riddick something inside Harry pulsed to life for a brief moment as they kissed.

The bond that connects them both hummed and pules in time with their hearts, slowly growing more active with the closeness of the two mates, deep inside Harry a rainbow coloured orb rose beside the bond and began to pulse in the rhythm, It intertwined its self with the bond and both glowed with power. Within seconds the bond had gone from the first stage to the second stage. Their minds becoming linked even more and deeper intertwined, it was something that had never happened so quickly before between mates. Wheres before they had picked up each other's stray thoughts without knowing, now they will soon realize they could 'mind-speak' with each other over short distances.

With its job done the 'Other' stopped its pulsing and unwind itself from the bond, free, the bond settled down to a slow pulse. The orb gave one last pulse before falling silent once more. Waiting for its time.

Nether Riddick or Harry notice the change between them. Too destructed with each other.

Riddick was busy taking his mate's breathe away. Claiming his lips and mapping every inch of his mouth. One of his hands let Harry's waist go and reached up to grab a hold of his long hair in a tight grip, controlling every move of their embrace. Harry moaned with need and was losing himself in the kiss, it was like Riddick was trying to consume his very being.

And Riddick was, he needed to be as close to his mate as possible and the need was growing with every passing second. His hand slid from Harry's hair and down his back, gently ghosting over the wounds, not wanting to give his mate more pain than he already was, once he reached his bottom he placed his hand firmly under it and he lifted him into his arms. Smirking into the kiss when Harry let out a squeak before moaning as their bodies rub against each other, wrapping his legs around Riddick's waist. All of Riddick's focus was on claiming Harry's mouth. The passion burned hot as the sun but sadly all good things had to come to an end.

The creatures in the dark didn't care that those to were in the middle of claiming each other and their screeching interrupted them.

Lifting his head, Riddick growled with smug satisfaction at the dazed and flushed look his panting mate was sprouting. He was rock hard and would like nothing more than to throw his mate over the closes flat surface and reclaim what was his. But the want for his mate safety stops him. Though both he and his beast were unhappy with the long wait, the risk to their mate was too high to ignore. The danger of Harry being taken away again chased away his desire and he began to think more clearly.

"We're will finish this later Vixen, you can bet on that," Riddick growled. That was a promise he was going to keep if it killed him. He had enough patients to wait for now but that was getting shorter and shorter. God help the next person or thing that interrupted them after this.

"It's like everything is against us being together on this fucking planet." Harry couldn't help whine. He was hard as a rock and his body was boiling with desire for his mates attention. Badly. They had been interrupted every time, even their mating had been cut short, oh they mated but they didn't get the chance to do it more than fucking once before the planets started to block the suns out. 'I may have 'Potter luck' for keeping me alive but when it comes to alone time with my mate it does a disappearing act.' Harry whined inside his mind, First people now those fucking hammer- headed bastards were getting in the way.

"When we're off this hell hole your not getting a moment of peace until you have claimed me fully and repeatedly." Harry hissed out in determination. Pointing a finger in Riddick's face, showing just how pissed he was, he couldn't even blush at ordering his mate for sex, too frustrated by it all at this point, blue balls were a real thing and they hurt, a lot.

Throwing back his head, Riddick let out a deep laugh, his mate's frustration. He didn't think he had ever in his life been order to have sex before. Having Harry around was turning out to be amusing that's for sure. Calming down he smirked as Harry unwrapped his legs from his waist and he slowly lowered him back to the ground, making sure their bodies rubbed together, every inch a slow torment for poor Harry, who moaned in pleasure and frustration at the feel of his mates hard and ready body.

Riddick, on the other hand, loved seeing his Vixen so worked up, to know that he's mate was so excited for him that he was making demands to be taken once they were off this planet, it was sending his blood racing in satisfaction.

"That's a grantee Vixen, not even the others being present will stop me from what's mine." He growled, he could wait for now. It won't be too long now before they were back in the Skiff. The front cockpit will work nicely with what he had planned.

Taking a few deep breathes and let the cool rain wash over him, Harry slowly calmed his lust and want down. His pants were still a little tight but he could deal with that. Shooting his mate a smile. He was going to keep Riddick to his promise, it had been too long since having his mate over him. The promise filled his mind with images that were best left alone for now no matter how much it pained him, with a light blush over his cheeks he forced the images away and got back to business.

"Then let's get this over with as fast as possible my Hunter. I'm not waiting more than I have to." Harry grinned cheekily before he turned and walked towards the cave. Behind him, Riddick let out a deep rumbled laugh that sent shivers down Harry's spine.

'My mate is never going to ever be boring to be around.' Riddick thought with a grin of his own, following Harry to the cave. It was time to get this over with.

Inside the cave the group huddled together, each holding back their anxiety as more time passed and there was no sign of Fry.

Shazza hugged Jack to her side, the poor girl had her eyes glued to the floor with a bewildered look. Their faith in Fry ever coming back was growing more dimmer by the moment and there was zip Shazza could do to comfort the girl. She acknowledged it should have been her to go and get Riddick, but sadly Fry had been right, she was the only one who knew the way to the Skiff. but deep inside she didn't think either of them would be able to get Riddick to come back for them.

After losing Harry the man had shut down, no longer feeling anything. She knew what that was like, she had felt the same thing after losing her Zeke.

Even now she knew in her heart that Riddick's lost was worse than her own, for she hadn't been bonded to Zeke, only married for the last few years, it didn't mean it lessen her love or her lose over losing him and when this was over and she made it off this planet, she will grieve to the fullest, but she could and would go on without him. Riddick and Harry, on the other hand, had been soul mates,

destined for each other.

Pity rose inside her for the big man, no one should ever go through the loss of their mate. It hurt, even more, thinking they had only just met on this hell hole of a planet.

Life was a cruel mistress.

So deep in thought, she paid no mind to Jack moving closer as the sound of roars and screeches came from outside. She was deaf to everything, not even noticing Imam staring at the entrances as the sounds stopped and all became quiet.

He stood, keeping his boys behind him as his eyes glued to the boulder that protected them from the creatures outside. His heart beating faster as it moves slightly.

Shazza snapped to attention when Jack grabbed her arm and pulled her up urgently. Everyone stood and watched with growing fear, Ali let out a whimper, holding his brother's waist tightly, burying his head into his chest. Suleiman held him and swallowed around the limp in his throat. He ducked further behind their father.

The monsters were getting in.

The boulder moved more violently before finally being shoved out of the way. They held their breaths, waiting to see their death enter. Instead of a monster head appearing, someone, they never thought to see again popped around the edge of the rock.

"Anyone miss me." Harry grinned cheekily at the shocked looks on their faces.

"HARRY!" They yelled in happiness, with a good dose of shock.

Harry waved a hand with a laugh. "Yup. I see I was missed."

Suddenly Harry felt a hand drop onto his ass, moving him aside, said hand also got in a quick grope before falling away.

Riddick appeared in front of him and smirked. He found it amusing that they looked more shocked at seeing him than they did Harry. Though he saw behind Imam, little Ali look like he wanted to jump Harry in a hug attack and the only thing stopping him is Suleiman.

"Never had a doubt." Jack grinned. Pleased to see her hero and of course Harry. She never thought Riddick wouldn't come back for them, he was the strongest and bravest of them all, a real badass. She wanted to be just like him, people fearing her and never hurting her again. She will learn from the best.

"Anyone not ready for this?" Riddick asked looking them over.

"There is my god, Mister Riddick." Imam said pleased, causing Riddick to raise a brow.

"Let's get this hell out of here," Harry said popping up again from under Riddick's arm.

"Harry..." Shazza's voice caught on all the emotions she was being overwhelmed by, her friend looked like he had been to hell and back. "How?"

Harry grinned at her, knowing he looked like he had been through a war. "I'll tell you the whole story later, but right now we have a Skiff to catch."

'Thoughts' "Talking"

Chapter 25

They began to prepare for the last leg of their journey. Harry helped with binding Suleiman's leg tighter and using what water was dripping into the cave to wash as much as the blood away. Harry looked up from what he was doing to Jack who was still staring at Riddick with awe, the girl had been doing that since they came back. Harry paid it no mind as he helped sort who was going where. They are running single-file this time, everyone as close together as possible. The kids and the injure Suleiman need to be protected the most.

Harry gave Shazza his glow-worm bottle, she raised a brow at it and they shared a look but didn't comment on where the last person who had the bottle was. Imam held Suleiman to his side to help him run and move, setting them in the back of the group with the other half bottle protecting them. Jack and Ali were placed in the middle with Shazza in front of them. In front with Riddick, Harry

saw they were ready as they were ever going to be. Imam and Shazza nodded to Harry and he turned to Riddick. "Ready."

They were soon ready as they ever are going to be, it was time to move out.

"See you on the other side Vixen," Riddick said. Looking him deep in the eye. This was it the last leg of their journey and anything can go wrong, he just had to trust it wouldn't, not this time.

"You can count on it, Hunter. Let's go." Harry smirked blood rushing through his veins. With that they Riddick into the darkness, racing through the canyon, they moved swiftly as their feet could carry them, the rain blinded a little but it did not stop their motion as the creatures cry in the night urging them on faster.

Riddick slowed, spotting something ahead of them he didn't like the look of. He held his hand out making the others stop behind him. Looking around with a frown he quickly jerked his hand for the to follow and lead them to the side of the cliff, their sides against it as they waited for Riddick's orders.

Harry had no idea what Riddick was seeing out there but from the sounds of it, the creatures were fighting over something.

Frowning deeply, Riddick saw only one way through the monsters and that was right down the centre of the pack. Reaching back he grabbed Harry s hand, tightly intertwined their fingers. Harry did the same and reached back for Shazza's hand. They did the same down the line. Shazza to Jack, Jack to Ali and little Ali to Imam.

Imam passed his touch to Suleiman to hold so he had better gripe on him. Shazza has moved her bottle on to her belt, hoping it still gives them enough light because she wasn't letting either of Harry or Jack's hands go.

They waited.

Riddick watched closely for a break in the pack, when two creatures that had been headbutting each other backed away leaving a gap Riddick took his chance and shoot forwards, pulling the others right behind him.

The creatures shoot back with a screech of pain as the light burned them, confused to where it was coming from.

Fear nipped at the group's heels as adrenaline pumping through their bodies, they rushed even faster towards the hardest part of their journey that was coming up, the steep hill of mud.

Letting go of Harry's hand Riddick pushed him and the group in front of him keeping his eyes on behind them. Shazza used her hold on Jack and Ali too dragged behind her, helping them crawl up the muddy slope.

"Don't stop! Keep going." Imam called to them when Ali looked back, he was quickly pulled forward by Shazza as Imam helped Suleiman up.

"Come on. Move!" Riddick shouted, giving Imam a shove as the man struggled with his son. "You know the way!"

Harry's head shoots back from his place in the middle of the slope. "Riddick!"

"Go! Show them the way to the Skiff!" He ordered.

He had to make sure they all made it to the top without being attacked by the monsters. To do that he had to go last.

Hesitating for a moment, fear shining through his eyes, hating the very idea of leaving his mate, to be parted again.

Seeing the fear in his mates eyes Riddick called out. "Go, Harry, get them there. I'll be right behind you."

Taking a breath Harry nodded. He hated leaving him but he knew Riddick was strong and would make it to the Skiff. 'He just has to.' Harry thought shooting one last look back before swallowing his dread and turning to follow the others over the top hill, helping them go towards the settlement. Taking point, Harry leads them into the settlement, going between buildings to reach the ship. Through the darkness they could all just make out the light coming from the Skiff, like a beacon in the darkness, slowly becoming more visible through the gaps in buildings.

Halfway up the hill, Riddick watched Harry disappear over the top, he had to make sure his mate got back to the Skiff safely, if that meant staying behind longer to have the creature's attention on him, so be it. Glancing back to where they had come, he jolted back as creatures were already filling the gape the had come through. Suddenly one landed a little to close for comfort on the hill, it tilled its head to face him a let out a loud hiss. Crab walking backward up the muddy slope, he quickly turned and raced up the hill. He moved over the top and ran towards the settlement. He could feel the creature right behind him and he wasn't going to give it or the others a free meal. He had someone waiting for him and he wasn't going to disappoint him.

Mud splashed up against their legs as Harry lead them through the maze of buildings to the centre where the Skiff was waiting for them. Seeing more light ahead Harry smiled. "Quickly this way!"

They came out of the alley and straight into the light of the Skiff.

"Onboard now! Come on get in." Harry said stopping by the hatch, taking his breath, shooting the kids a smile he gently pushing on Jack and Ali backs when they stopped beside him, he urges them to go up the ramp into the ship. Once they were onboard he turned to Shazza, who was gazing at the ship with watery eyes. The bottle she had tired to her belt finally come lose after all her running and fell to the ground, not that she noticed with her full focus on the Skiff.

"Come on Shazza, it's okay now," Harry told her gently. He could understand her overwhelming emotions, he had felt the same when he met up with Riddick again.

"Thank you, Harry," Shazza said, patting him on the shoulder, being mindful of his injures, she walked into the ship and her body sagging with the relief of being surrounded by metal. She was finally safe and could rest soon. 'I could sleep a thousand years.'

Imam followed close behind her, helping Suleiman limp up the ramp and into one of the side seats. Squeezing his son's shoulder as the boy settled down with a sigh of relief. He turned back to look out the hatch when he noticed one of them was missing. Moving to the hatches exit he saw Harry

still standing at the bottom of the ramp in the rain, looking into the night. Imam called in concerned. "Harry?"

Harry didn't answer, instead, he moved away from the skiff and closer to the edge of the light, trying to see Riddick.

"Riddick where are you?" Harry whispered into the night.

0-0-0-0-0-0

Out in the darkness, Riddick was making his way between two buildings, he wasn't far from the skiff now when suddenly a creature landed in front of him. It's back, thankful to him as it looked around.

Seeing it slowly turning towards him, a plan occurred to him instantly and he shot forward. Getting right up in its face as it turned fully around, his heart was beating strong and slow as he started right at its deadly blade, when it swayed right or left he followed its every moment.

The beast couldn't see him, he was right in its blind-spot. So its echolocation wasn't picking him up but Riddick knew one wrong move and it would be game over.

The creature huffed in frustration at seeing no meal to feed on, turning it started to move down the alley, Riddick kept his eyes glued on it just in case when suddenly another screech and thud came from behind him, spinning around sharply he looked over his shoulder to see another creature bearing its teeth at him. The sound and movement caught the attention of the other one making it turn back and see him.

He was in both their sights now.

Slowly he took out his shiv and raised it as both creatures hissed, coming closer.

The fight was on and he wasn't going to lose.

0-0-0-0

"Harry?"

He half-turned to look over his shoulder and look back at Imam, Jack, and Shazza who were waiting at the top of the

ramp.

Imam looked at him with sadness in his gaze, it had been a long time now without any sign of Riddick. "Come, Harry, come on board and out of the rain."

Harry turned to face the darkness, he couldn't, he wouldn't leave his mate behind. They just had to wait a little longer. Riddick had to come back to him, this couldn't be it not after everything they had been through.

"Harry, please," Shazza begged, the echoes around them were growing in volume. "Come back inside."

There was no sign of his Riddick and Harry felt a tear slowly run down his face, joining the rain that was dripping down it. He let his head fall to rest his chin on his chest as his heart ached in pain. 'Is this what you felt Riddick? When I was taken... Please, Riddick, come on, I can't do this alone.'

"Harry..." Imam was interrupted by a yell of pain that rang through the air.

Head shoot up Harry looked to where it was coming from when a roar followed and filled the air along with cries of many creatures. Harry couldn't take it anymore, picking up the glow bottle Shazza had dropped, he raced off into the darkness, paying no attention to the others behind him that called out to him or like Shazza grabbing Jack to stop her from following him.

"RIDDICK!" Harry yelled, racing between buildings as he headed towards where the sounds had come from. His thoughts were racing as he searched for his mate in the darkness, he tried to pick up his scent but the rain made it difficult to get a fix on his location.

"Riddick!" he screamed, his fear near chocking him of his breath. When he heard Riddick's cries of pain as he battled, something inside him roared with urgency to get to his mate's side.

Turning a corner Harry jumped back with gasped of shock when Riddick shoots around from the other side, slashing his shiv through the air like he was still fighting. He fell to the ground, knocking into some barrels before resting on his hands and knees, shiv clenched in his fist. Staring down in shock harry let out another gasp at the sight of his mate's leg, it had been slash across the length and was leaking blood all over the ground.

Harry raced towards Riddick. He cried. "Oh Merlin, Riddick!"

Grabbing Riddick's arm he tried to lift him from the ground, whispering urgently in his ear. "Okay, its okay Riddick. I'm here my love. Hold onto me. Just hold on."

"We're going to get out of here, okay, I've got you, love." Harry tightened his hold to help him up higher but it was no use. Riddick fell back onto the ground again when he tried to put more weight on his injured leg.

"Come on Riddick! Get up!" Harry shouted in panic, the echoes and screeches outside their little light were causing the fear to shoot through him. They would find them soon with all this blood if they didn't more. The scent of blood was calling them.

"RIDDICK! GET THAT ASS UP!" Harry screamed into his face, those dazed eyes gazing back at him. Shaking his mates shoulders, he had to get Riddick to focus again, their lives depended on it. Yelling more forceful. "I will not lose you now! Do you hear me! NOT NOW!"

"Harry ..." Riddick breathes out.

"Get up!" Harry ordered pulling Riddick onto his side till he was back on his knees and wrapped his mate's arm around his shoulder. Placing his arm around Riddick's waist, he tried once more to move them into the direction of the Skiff.

The sounds of the creatures grew as they moved in closer, searching the area for them. Harry looked around the edges of the roof and saw a glimpse of them as the ducked back from the edge of the roof to get out of the range of the light. He knew the soft blue glow wasn't going to hold them off for long, Their hunger was too great when the scent of fresh blood was in the air.

When one of the braver ones started to inch forward Harry thought this was it. He had no more magic to give them any more light and the glow-worms weren't enough. Riddick was hurt and in no condition to help him. Suddenly he felt a tuck at his pocket and a heavyweight pushing down on it. Moving as fast as he could with his injured mate weight pressing down on him he quickly pasted the bottle to his other hand around Riddick's waist before reaching down into his pocket.

He felt the smooth surface of the stone and just as the brave creature flaw at them, he yacked it out of his pocket.

It flashed and surrounded them in a powerful light that caused Riddick to grunt and shut his eyes in pain, the creature cried flying away, burns and smoke rising from it, others hissed and screech moving away from light, back into the darkness with disappointment as their meal was out of reach.

The light faded back to a soft orange glow, surrounding them with warmth, Riddick peeked through his eyelids, seeing the light wasn't hurting any more he took in the glow around them.

Harry, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief, the light will ward off the creatures for now and keep them well away from him and his mate. Leaning towards his mate's ear he whispered. "I will not lose you to this hellhole Riddick."

"Ya won't lose me, Harry, not anytime soon," Riddick smirked back, slowly coming out of his daze. He felt weaker than he ever had but that wasn't going to stop him, not when he was so close to getting him and his mate to safety, he still had a promise to fulfil. He wanted a lot more time to explore that gorgeous body. "Let's get the fuck out of here."

Together they rose fully off the ground and staggered back towards the ship, the stones glow lighting their way. Their weak and hurt bodies protesting every movement but they dared not stop.

By the bottom of the ramp Imam waited for Harry's return, hopeful with Riddick, they hadn't heard any more cries for a while now. Spotting a light coming from closer between two of some building he held his breath, he releases it with a smile as Harry appeared with Riddick by his side.

Watching the pair come into the light holding each other up as Riddick shielding his eyes. Imam called to Shazza. "Their back!"

he ran to Riddick's other side and wrapped an arm around his waist, helping them into the skiff where Shazza stood grinning with happiness.

She called. "Thank god ya guys made it."

"Can't take us down that easy." Harry joked, smiling as they passed her and made their way to the front. Helping Riddick down into the pilot chair Imam moved back to sit with his children as Shazza closed the hatch to the outside. Giving the outside a one-finger salute as a parting gift.

Taking a seat beside Riddick, Harry stared out as the rain fell onto the window screen. Riddick began to prep the ship once more for take-off, the others behind him taking their seats.

Inside the small ship they were slightly cramped together but there still enough seats for them all. Riddick looked down at the computer screen to see they were still thankfully under the weight limit, four adults, two teens, and one child didn't weigh as much seven grown adults would have.

No one said anything about the missing Fry. Mostly likely because they were either too deep in thought or just happy they had made it through all this alive. All of them had been through so much that the feeling of safely nearly overwhelmed a few of them.

It was truly over.

"With so much prayer to make up for, I scarcely know where to begin," Imam said running his fingers over his beads. His boys leaning tiredly against his side.

"I know where I'd start," Jack replied looking at him from the opposite seat. Beside her Shazza smiled and reached up to squeeze her shoulder in comfort before letting go to lean back against her seat, the tension inside her finally disappearing.

The ship's engines came online and rumble around them when unexpectedly they shut down.

Harry's head shoots off the headrest he had been leaning on to spin around to shoot Riddick a confusion fearful expression as the Skiff was powering down. At first, he thought the ship wasn't reacting to the new Power Cells well. That idea left him when he noticed what his mate was playing at when Riddick reached forward and turned the lights off outside and plunging the outside of the ship into darkness. Harry got a little more worried.

"Riddick, what are you doing?" Jack asked nervously.

"Can we please just go," Shazza called out, no longer relaxed as she once was.

All the lights inside the Skiff went out and they were all left in the glow of the red emergency light illuminating them from above.

Harry saw movement from outside and his eyes widen as creatures started crawling their way to the Skiff.

"Riddick?" Harry asked confused and worried as the creatures started to crawl over the window.

Bangs started around them as the ship's hull was hit as the creatures landed on it, little Ali whimpered and held his father's waist tighter as his bother and father held him between them. Shazza's head shoots up and span around at each new sounds as the creatures climbed all over the hull, looking for a way inside.

"Can we just get the hell out of here now?" Jack snapped, having enough of this bullish.

A creature leaped onto the window and screeched at them making everyone bar Riddick jump in their seats.

"Riddick, can we go now," Harry whispered urgently, his eyes shooting from the window to his mate.

Riddick slowly glanced at Harry before looking back at the others. "We can't leave.."

Riddick's silver eyes stared into the face of the creature, it had dogged their steps since night had fallen. This deadly predator that had taken some of the group. He stared at the face of what had nearly taken his mate from him. The face that will haunt their dreams for a very long time to come.

"Without saying goodnight."

He shoved the lever up to full power and all engines blasted into life, the light burning all that were near it, inside they could hear the screeches of pain around them as the creatures burned

to death. It killed many of them but Riddick had only eyes for the window screen as they blasted into the air. The creature that had been on it had been shoved off as they speed through the air, higher and higher they went into the sky, knocking into creatures as they speed through the blackness, killing even more.

As suddenly as it started they came to a stop as they broke through the atmosphere and into space drifting away from the planet and once again seeing the suns that had been blocked by the planets.

They were finally off that hell hole of a planet.

Everyone looks out the window and seeing the stars they let out sighs of relief, they had made it. Harry stared out in awe out the window, seeing all the colours of spaces were beautiful, it peaceful to see all these stars and planets surrounding them.

Jack rose from her seat and moved to stand between their two seats, looking out into space before looking at Riddick. "A lot of questions, whoever we run into. It could even be a merc ship."

Harry looked at the girl, she had brought up a good point, the Skiff wasn't going to last forever, not even with his magic but at this point, he didn't really want to tempt fate or even think of more fighting right now. Maybe in another hundred years, he'd think about it.

"So, what the hell do we tell them about you?" Jack asked.

"Tell them Riddick's dead," Riddick said. Turning to her for a moment before looking back out. "He died somewhere on that planet."

She thought for a moment before nodded to him and going back to her seat with the others. Harry watched her go till she was out of earshot before facing his mate, raising a brow in question.

Riddick smirked back at him before jerking his head to signal Harry come on over.

Taking off his belt, Harry stood and just as he took a step towards him Riddick leaned forward and pulled him into his lap. Getting over his surprise, Harry sighed and let all the tension that had been inside escape. His sore backside rested on his mate's lap as he sat sideways over his laps, his legs hanging over the armrest of the seat. And it was the most heavenly place to Harry right now. Breathing in his mate's scent as he nuzzled into his chest Harry felt his body relax, he was in the arms of his mate at long last.

Feeling his own aches more now he was relaxed he's mind went to all the injures everyone else had if he hurt he knew his mate's leg must be paining him also. After all, he was sitting on said leg. Looking up at Riddick, he said. "We should take a look at your wounds, Riddick."

"And what about you?" Riddick asked arching a brow down at Harry, his leg may hurt some but he wasn't moving his mate from his lap anytime soon. This was the closest they had been for what felt like days and most likely was, hard to tell the time when it was permanent night.

"All I need is some potions and some lovely blood to kick start my healing but I won't feed on you till you have rested and had that leg seen to," Harry said firmly. Putting his foot down on this. His mate had lost to much blood from his fight, to even take a mouth could be dangerous.

Riddick chuckled. "You know that ain't happening till you healed Vixen."

"All I have to do to heal your leg is find my bag. It should be in here somewhere. It always finds me." Harry grinned, he turned to look over Riddick's shoulder, spotting Shazza standing by her seat he called out to her. "Shazza do you see my bag back there?"

She looked confused, she hadn't seen him have his bag in ages, but she nodded and started to look around, after Imam explained what was going on to his sons, it was little Ali who spotted it nesting innocently just by the hatch in a dark corner, calling out in Arabic he pointed toward it. The adults smiled at the boy's happiness at being helpful.

"Thank ya, Ali," Shazza said patting the boy on the head in gratitude as she passed him. Bending down, she grabbed the strap, walking back to the front she passed it over to Harry. "Here ya go, Harry."

Resting the bag on his lap Harry nodding in thanks to her before he opened it. "Thanks, Shazza. I think I'm a little too tired to get up again right now. Plus I don't think this guy is going to let me go anytime soon." Harry said cheekily nodding his head at Riddick.

"Damn right."

Both Shazza and Harry laughed, wiping a tear from the corner of her eyes she sat down in Harry's vacant chair and turned to face them. Running her eyes over Harry's makeshift dirty bandages chest and leg. "Are you alright Harry? I thought we had lost you back there when that thing got a hold of ya."

Reaching inside she saw him take out a black case she recalled he had used back when he was attacked in the hole. 'God, it feels like years since then. So much has happened in so little time.' she thought before paying attention to Harry again.

"I should be fine after taking some of these, Shazza. But yeah, that was a scary time for me, when that creature grabbed me, I…." Riddick's arms tightened around his waist when a shuddered went through him. It was hard not to think of how close he came to not coming back, Riddick seems to pick up on his thoughts as a deep growl rumbled through his mate's chest and right into him, his mate was pissed at the reminder of nearly losing him and Harry patted him on the arm to remind him he was still here and wasn't going anywhere.

Opening the case Harry looked for the right Potions, there was a few he was going to need right now. Spotting the Cure-All, he took out one, it was purple and seemed to be moving inside the bottle like a cloud. As he pulled it free another took its place in the case, the beauty of magic.

Downing it with a grimace tucked the vial into an empty pocket, knowing it will disappear once he closed the case, to be washed and refilled. He could feel his body starting to heal, aches disappearing along with the bruises. The wounds would take some time for the potion to heal. Taking out another potion, this time a Blood-Replenishing he downed that one as well. All he had to do now was feed after a nap and he's be right as rain again. 'I love magic.' Harry thought with a grin.

"Imam, could you come here please," Harry called out, seeing the man stand and make his way towards him. Turning back to the case Harry pulled out a few more Cure-Alls and one Blood- Replenishing.

"Was there something you needed son?" Imam asked standing between the two seats.

"Here." Harry passed him a potion before doing the same to Shazza. "Down those, it's there Cure- All's. Any pains or aches you have and that will clear them up." Harry explained.

Shazza looked at the potion before shrugging and downing it in one go. The look on her face made Harry laugh. She had never tasted something so vile before. Sticking her tongue out she splattered out. "What was in that?"

"Not nice I know, but it works like a dream. And yeah, you really don't want to know what goes into these things. Trust me." Harry said with a winch. He hated knowing what was in potions, knowing your drinking down a crushed eye or slide spleen isn't a pleasant thought. But having a father that was one of the greatest potion Master of all time, he knew every little detail of potions. He went from being the worst at potions to the best. His papa had made sure he learned to make every potion until it was perfect.

"It does have a distinctive flavour." Imam coughed out.

"Distinctive? You mean terrible." Shazza huffed. Wishing she could rub her tongue on something to get rid of the taste. That was the worst thing she had ever put in her mouth.

Shaking his head Harry took out a few more potions. With a bit of a joggle, he handed over two more Cure-Alls to Imam along with a Blood-Replenishing. "The Cure-All is for both boys, but make sure Suleiman takes the other one, it's a Blood-Replenishing potion. It will see to his blood lost from all that running we did."

"I can't thank you enough, my son, you have done so much for us already," Imam said. He meant every word. Harry had saved his last two sons from death and still, he is keeping them safe.

"No thanks needed Imam, I'm just happy to help." Harry smiled, throughout this whole journey he had grow close to his little group. Taking another Cure-All he passed this one to Shazza for Jack to take. Shazza nodded with a smile. Harry was unlike anyone she had ever met before, he had a kind heart that was rear to see nowadays. He still thought of others when no one else did.

Before the two could wander on back to the kids Harry started looking over his case for two other potions. Finding what he was after he took out two small vials of Calming Draught and Dreamless sleep. This was something everyone was going to need after everything they had been through, they needed a full rest without nightmares to join them. Knowing they wouldn't be able to carry everything he reached into his bag and pulled out a silver-plated serving tray. Yes, his old house- elf had packed the kitchen wear when he went to sleep. Good old Codey, how he missed his companion. Shaking those thoughts away he set the tray on his lap and started placing five of each potion down, Calming Draught on the left, Dreamless sleep on the right.

"Right, after having them take those, make sure you all take one of these. They will help with sleep so make sure you're laying down before taking them." Harry explained. Letting Shazza place the vial she had been holding for Jack down onto the tray before picking the whole thing up.

"You have some strange things in that bag Harry," Shazza said looking the tray over. How a small

bag held such a thing or why was beyond her. 'Is this pure silver.' Shazza thought, looking the tray over.

"You have no idea." Harry chuckled. He did have quite a lot of things in his bag, even stuff he didn't know he had. He had to go over everything at some point. Maybe getting

his trunk out to go through his library. He did want to read up on his bond with Riddick, but later.

"This is most generous of you my son, I thank you humbly. Are you sure though we wouldn't want to take up all of your supple?" Imam asked.

"As I said before Imam, I can't leave you guys hurt and no worries I have plenty to spare." Harry smiled, his cheeks flushing at Imam's gratitude.

"He's right Harry if it wasn't for your help we... I wouldn't have made it off that planet, so thank you so much." Shazza sincerely said.

Harry's cheeks went bright red at her words. "Again there no need for thanks...really."

Riddick started to laugh, Harry could feel his body shake where he was leaning against him. As soon as he started Imam and Shazza joined along making Harry even redder at their amusement. Harry glared at Riddick with an annoyed look.

Once they all calmed down, Shazza and Imam nodded to them before heading back to the kids. Both could hear the kids complaining as soon as they took the Cure-All's and even more so when Suleiman had the Blood-Replenishing one. All the noise brought a smile to Harry's face while Riddick smirked, for once the kids could act like kids, there was no longer any danger hanging over their heads to hold them back. Harry had to hold in a chuckle when Jack became the most vocal about the taste of the potions.

Soon it went quite and Harry looking over Riddick's shoulder again to see the group deep in dreamland. Little Ali and Suleiman were lying asleep across the seats, cuddling up close. While on the opposite seats, Jack did the same with her head nestled in Shazza lap, who slept upright in her seat, head resting on a metal pole. Imam was on the floor between them all, resting on his back with his hands clasped in little Ali's, gently snoring away.

Smiling, Harry held his hand up and pushed what little magic he had gotten from the Cure-All to summoning the tray that had the used vials on it, it gentle floated into the air and came to him. Riddick watched the tray come to a stop beside the chair. Harry took the vials off and placed them into the empty pouch, once they disappeared he set the case to one side for a moment and took a hold of the tray letting his magic over it go before placing that into his bag. Taking a hold of his case again, Harry took one last Cure-all and held it in front of Riddick's nose. "You didn't think I forgot you, my Hunter."

Taking it from his mate's hand Riddick looked at the purple mixture. It wouldn't be the oddest looking thing he had drunk, he had been to some strange bars. Uncorking it he knocked it back and regretted it immediately.

While holding in his laughter at the faces his Riddick was pulling Harry took the vial out of his limp grip and placed it into his black case before putting it back into his bag and setting it on the floor. Looking around the Skiff Harry noticed that now they were so many of them in it, it was a little cramped. 'After a rest, I'll see about trying to make it bigger in here, this Skiff was not built for

more than a short trip.' Harry thought, leaning against his mate's, resting his head on his shoulder with his head.

"That was disguising. I've tasted better gruel in the slam." Riddick grimaced, desperately wanting something to drink the taste away, the foul taste was like nothing he had ever come across before in his life.

"Yeah, I think Papa made them like that to get his own back on the brats he had to teach. Plus it doesn't help the taste with what is used to make them." Harry explained, his Papa had been a sadist when it came to the taste of his potion, oh he would say making them taste better would dilute the potion properties but Harry knew his papa to well to believe that.

"Used? Just what was in that Vixen?" Riddick asked his brow rising.

"Yeah, you really don't want to know my Hunter. Better left unsaid." Harry said grimace, even he wished he didn't know what or how these potions were done. 'Sadly my Papa made sure to drilled Potion making into my head, I may be a Master now but never at my Papa's level.'

"Hmm..." Riddick let it drop for now. He didn't want to bring whatever he had taken back up and from the look on Harry's face, he may never want to know.

"I am lucky in a sense as this black case will never really run out of vials." Harry yawned. "My Papa charmed it so it is everlasting and every potion he made he added to it. My papa was a brilliant spell creator."

Another yawn escaped again, his energy was fading fast now there wasn't any more danger. He snuggled close to Riddick.

"Tired my Vixen," Riddick smirked down at his sleepy mate, he would never say it out loud but at that moment his mate was the cutest thing he had ever seen. More kitten than a fox.

"It's been a very long day my Hunter, and there is still so much to do..plus you still haven't fulfilled your...promises..." Harry said sleepy, his mind and body slowly losing the fight to stay awake as the potion did its job and began to heal him.

"That can wait for later Vixen, sleep," Riddick ordered moving his hand to rest on Harry's head and gently pushed it against his chest, running his fingers through his hair. He could see Harry's eyes slowly dropping before snapping open again. Fighting sleep. Smirking as his mate fought a losing battle. He growled out as he kissed Harry on the forehead. "You're going to need all the energy you can get for what I have planned for you later."

"That sounds so nice, sadly I think I could sleep for another thousand years..." Harry yawned tiredly, rubbing his face into Riddick's shoulder before raising his head to look into Riddick's silver eyes. "As long as I have you there with me of course."

Riddick ran his nose along Harry's hairline before once again gently pushing his mate's head to rest on him. Once Harry was against him, he wrapped his arms around his mate's body, whispering. "Sleep, vixen, I've got you."

Harry let his head resting on Riddick's masculine shoulder, feeling nothing but safe and calm as strong arms wrap around him, holding him close. His eyes moving to the screen and into the darkness of space. He had never thought something like this would ever happen to him, not after

everything they had been through, but it did, he had gone through hell to come out on the other side with the greatest thing he could ever have, he had found his mate and in the most unlikely of places and he couldn't be happier.

Closing his green eyes, Harry fell into a dreamless slumber for nothing could get him while he was in the safety of his mate's arms. His Hunter keeping the nightmares away.

Looking down Riddick stared at his sleeping mate. The soft snores and sighs behind him told him the others were deep sleep. Instead of joining the slumbering group he stayed awake and stared outside, deep in thought.

He knew what he told Jack wasn't going to work for long, if at all, it would only be a matter of time before more mercs found out he was still alive and come to collect. There was always something that could go wrong the longer the floated in space on the ghost lanes. It all depended on what level of tech they had on the ship to how quickly things went to shit again.

Looking down at Harry, Riddick reached up to push a stray hair from his face. Now he had a mate it wouldn't be long for the Mercs to realize they can try and use Harry against him. Oh, he knew Harry was no weakling, he could and would fight anything that came at them, plus he had those strange powers to help. To be truthful though Riddick would rather he didn't use them unless it was to save his own life. If too many people knew what his mate could do it would spell trouble. Johns had wanted Harry even more once he knew he wasn't human and had only some power if he had known about the magic his mate held he would have taken them all out in that cargo-hold and kept Harry to himself.

'In this universe the rarer you were the more collector came out the woodwork to claim you. And no one is taking what is mine.' Riddick thought holding back a growl, he tightens his hold on Harry and stared out into space with a sneer. He didn't just have to worry about them being found by mercs but others as well. He hoped they had time before anyone found them, he needed to heal and build up his strength again.

Closing his eyes he leaned his head back against the headrest of the chair. A nagging thought he had been holding back since meeting Harry came to the forefront of his mind. Could he subject his mate to the life of a convict, to always be on the run, never stopping, never getting a moment of peace? But could he let his mate go? The answer to that was simple. No, he couldn't let his Vixen go now, not after everything they had been through. For now, he pushes the thought aside, only time would tell how this all worked out for them all. The one thing he knew for sure, he wasn't going to give Harry up.

Not for anything.
