Riddick's Mate

10 ~ Would You Die For Me?

Panting and grunting, Alice and Riddick helps each other with the cells as they reached the top of the hills, Riddick stands straight and sees the settlement beyond them and Riddick pants out, "I see it, right there," and Alice panting heavily replied with, "thank fuck," as she sighs and grunts as they continue to pull the cells, meanwhile with the others in the cave, Fry was beginning to lose her faith, she did not trust Riddick and she had a feeling that Johns was right, he was going to leave them all... but Alice, the way he looks at her. 

"They are coming back, right? Alice would let Riddick leave" Jack says and Fry for once could not answer her, because she did not know at all, but she trusted Alice to help them... but Riddick she had a feeling that Riddick would do something, as Alice was struggles more as they move towards the skiff, she grunts with Riddick as they pull them on to the ramp, groaning loudly, they both finally get them inside, Alice pants heavily and falls to her knees, she groans in pian and clutches her hand and Riddick says softly, "rest, I will get the cells connected and get some light on," and then begins to get the cells lined up and hooked up to the ship.

With the torch gone, everyone was left in the dark, but light still glowed under them, Jack holds onto Fry's hand, and they all looked up and sees dozens of glowing bugs on the cave ceiling, as Riddick moves as fast as he could to get power going, with all of the cells finally hooked up, the power flickers until finally it come on full blast and Alice sighs in relief, "yes!" She whispers and gets up to look around, "there should be some emergency light around here, flares or anything we can use to go back for the others."  

Riddick looks back at the exit ramp and hardens his jaw, "I think I saw some by the seat," he lies, and Alice turns and looks over towards the seats he was pointing at but then frowns when she did not see anything, unaware of Riddick grabbing something out of the first aid kit and Alice asks, "I do not see them, are you sure you saw them here?" 

Riddick then moves and stands behind her, not saying anything.

"Riddick?" She asks as she feels him behind her, she straightens and begins to turn but he stops her and grabs her, "Riddick! What the fuck are you doing?" She shouts and tries to fight him off but he was too strong, "Riddick!" Suddenly she feels a pinch in her neck, "Riddick," soon she felt her body becoming sluggish and he said as he presses his lips against her ear as he wipes a tear that run down her face, "I am so sorry Alice, but I am not risking her... or yours for them." 

Whimpering softly, as she begins to go limp in his arms and gently turns her to sir, he sets her in a passenger's seat and buckles her up, stroking her face softly.

"I hope that in time... you will see why I have done this," he says and tighten the strap and watches her head fall back and she was out, he leans close and kisses her lips and makes sure she was comfy, he turns and walks towards the ramp, clicking the close button and then moves towards the pilot seat, he then begins to get the system going and power up, unaware of a certain determined Fry escaping the cave with a bottle full of glowing bugs and rushing towards the ship but she was not the only one he had to worry about and suddenly, the ramp doors open and he then quickly turns behind him, he then frowns when he could see anyone, when he looks towards where he left Alice, she was gone! He quickly gets up and moves towards the ramp, scanning the area for her but not realizing that she was hanging from the ceiling, Fry turns the corner at the same time when Alice yells and swings from the ceiling.

Riddick turns fast and feels a body slam into his, forcing them both to fly out of the ship and on to the ground into the wet mud, Riddick grunts as his back hits the muddy waters, splashing them both, Alice grips his tank top, yanking him up and delivers a hard punch across his face.

"You fucker!" She grunts and continues to punch him, Riddick just simply grunts, taking the punches and then laugh at his mate's fire, she punches him once more until he lifts his hips and sends her flying over him, she grunts and slides over the mud just as Fry runs towards her and helps her up, as Riddick was actually surprised too see Fry alive, "strong survival instinct, I do admire that in a woman," he chuckles and looks over to his mate, he smirks when she swiped the drugs, "placebo, now that is my woman," he grins and asks, "how did you figure it out, Pet?"

"The visions," Alice growls at him, "I fucking saw what you were going to do, you were going to leave them all and take me! Leaving them to die on this fucking rock!" 

"Alice you are a Furyan, as far as I am concerned, you are my main priority, you and you alone," he states strongly and Alice and Fry glare at with angry, "and they are my priority!!" Fry yells at him, "and I promised them that we would go back with more light," and Riddick just scoffs out, "did ya?" 

Alice then comes to the conclusion of Riddick, "fear brings out the trust in all of us," she throws his words back at him, "now I see your truth, you are afraid," she accuses Riddick as he throws his head back and laugh loudly, "me? Afraid?" 

"I am not the one leaving people behind to save my own ass, that is you, you say I am important," Alice says as she backs away from the Skiff, closer and closer towards the darkness, "but I call bullshit, if it really came between my life and yours... it will always be you and you alone," she says strongly.

"You are wrong, Alice, it is you," Riddick glares at him and Alice challenges him, "is that you talking or the pull? If it was not for the pull, you would just leave me here too" Alice then sighs heavily, "please, there has been some part of you that wants to rejoin the human race," Riddick just sigh and squats as he looks at her with a little humor, "truthfully, I would not know how too," Fry up to this part is tired of his bullshit and states, "then just give me more light for them, I will go back by myself." 

Riddick turns and gets the light strap, throwing it towards Fry for her to catch, "there you go," as Alice then realizes that he was determined not to go back for the others, "Riddick... I am not leaving them, please, just please come with us, help us," Riddick just tilts his head, "I got a better idea, come with me, the both of you," Alice just frowns at him and Fry scoffs at him, "you are fucking with me, I know you are," she snarls.

"You know I am? You do not know anything about me, I will leave you here," Riddick says directly at Fry and he turns to glare at Alice, "step inside, Pet," and Fry could not at first, like a broken little girl she sobs when she felt the dark feeling of Deja vu, Riddick continues to goad her to crawl onto the ship, once Fry was on the ship, Riddick then turns towards Alice, "your turns," and Alice just snarls at him, "fuck you."

Riddick chuckles and grins, "that will be happening soon, Pet, but now, we should focus on getting off this rock," he holds a hand for her," Come on," as Fry stands behind Riddick as the faces of the setter's flash in her mind, Zeke, Shazza, Paris, all of the ones we lost in the crash, they could have died because of her, she was not going to make this mistake ever again, turning fast, Fry yells as she charges at Riddick knocking them down, "mow you! Listen to me! I am the captain of this ship, and I am not leaving anyone on this rock with those things, even if it means-" Riddick shoves her off of him and turns to hold her down with his shiv against her neck, 'get this thing off my neck."   

"Shut up! You would die for them?" Riddick yells over the rain and Fry says, "I would try for them," Riddick just growls out, "you did not answer my question," Fry now said strongly, "yes I would, I would die for them," and pants when the pants shiv was off her neck and Riddick them moves off her and gets to his feet, standing mere inches from Alice's angry face, "what about you, Pet? Would you die for them?"

"Yes, for them," she says determinedly and Riddick then snatching his goggles off himself, he glares down at her.... but suddenly, he smirks at her, "how interesting," Alice then asks, "would you die for anyone, Riddick? Hmm?" Alice looked at him as she asks that making Riddick frown, "would you die for me?" She says as she moves closer, basically nose to nose with him, but with her height it was her nose to his chin and the thought of Alice dying made his dark heart pound in panic, he could not lose her for anything.

Alice took his silence as her answer and scoffs as she moves to help Fry but Riddick snatches his hand out to grab her arm and turns her face to face him, slamming his lips over hers, he kisses her with hard passion, thrusting his tongue as the rain falls hard over them, mixing with thier kiss, he then pulls away slowly, both breathing heavily as he looks down at her, into her eyes as his shine against hers.           

For you... and you alone," he says strongly.
