Riddick's Mate

Part 2

Part 2 to Crash Landing 

☠️🩸☠️🩸

Alice walks back into the ship and stands near the corner, eyeing Riddick from afar, something about him she could not shake, was he in her dreams only because she just met him on the Hunter? No, that could not be, she met several men in her lifetime and not one ever could do justice for her Beast, she heard of premonitions, but Elementals are keen to those and as far as she knows she is not an elemental and also... here was a feeling in the air about him, as if she could not be apart from him, something kept drawing her towards him, pulling her.  

Alice watches Riddick lift his head and inhale deeply again, he could smell her, she watches him direct his attention towards her, looking over her shoulder as best as he could, she wanted to know what he meant when he knew her smell, she wanted to talk to him, but how?

"He just escaped from a maximum prison," a voice startle her from behind, she then looks over her shoulder to see Johns and Fry walking towards her and Fry just frowns as studies and asks Johns, "so, do we just keep locked up forever?" 

"Well, that would be my choice, yes," Johns just scoffs and Alice looks back over at Riddick, "is he really that dangerous?" she asks and Johns walks closer to her, "only around humans," he says close to her ear, making her shudder just not in fear, in disgust, something about him disturbed her, it was the way he smelled, like...  Chemicals, vinegar.

Alice looks back over to Riddick, shivering softly and biting her lip that until Johns touches her shoulders and massages them, trying to soothe her and seduce her at the same time, "do not worry, I would not let him touch you."

Alice slithers out of his grip, "I need to go," she stays uncomfortably a walk out of the ship, she makes a silent disgusted noise but jumps when she has sworn that she heard a low animalistic growl, coming from Riddick.

Soon, everyone was in the storage container that managed to survive the crash, to scout for any source of food and water, Paris was making sure his personal items were alright, but at the same time, whines about how much damage there was.

"The whole container's upside down, it is all topsy-turvy," Paris sighs as she unlocks his Egyptian tomb and opens the coffin, but inside... was nothing but bottles of liquor, alcohol, Paris sighs in relief and picks 1 bottle up, "well, thank God it is not a total loss."

"Booze? This is what you have to drink?" Fry scoffs as Johns happily downs a big gulp, "I am going to need a receipt for that," Paris states, "for all of these, this is my personal stuff."

Fry looks up as a figure moves from the stairs above and sees Imam with a follower, shining her light up at at him, "I do not suppose this will help you at all," she scoffs, knowing that his religion does not involve alcohol, "unfortunately, it is not permitted, especially while on Hajj," Imam says.

"You realize there is no water, do you know?" Johns scoffs at him, "all deserts have water, it only waits to be found," Imam says, having faith, "I hope you are right," Fry replied, Paris then grins as he packs up liquor, "all the more for me then."

Alice just sighs, the pulling feeling was back, with everyone was so busy with finding food and water, she wondered if she should take the chance to talk to Riddick, what Alice did not know is... Riddick was actually feeling the same thing, the yearning pull, his fallen people called it that, deep in his chest when he first smelled her wonderful scent.

Riddick breathes deeply in the air, he could almost still smell her from where he was, but she was too far from him, her scent was so familiar, he needed to know... who is she? Is she... Like him? He had to find out, but Riddick had other plans, first thing first, he needed to get out of his binds, during the struggle from before, the blindfold managed to tear, he turns to look up above and sees that the steel post he was bound too had a small gap that he could easily slide his cuffs through to free himself, he turns and looks ahead, spying the abandoned welding torch not too far from him.

Taking a deep breath, Riddick slowly rises to stand and lifts his heels off the ground, with a sickening twist of his joints, he pops his shoulders out of place so he could easily bend his arms, rotating them till his cuffs pass through the gap and he falls forward, catching the torch, he knew he had limited time, he quickly uses the torch to cut through his cuffs and yanks off the bit out of his mouth, tearing the blindfold off his face, he rushes around the ship, avoiding getting caught and finds his proactive goggles in Johns bag.

Johns sighs as he walks back into the ship to check on his bounty, turning around the corner, his skids to a halt when he sees that Riddick was gone, his eyes widen as he cuffs are on the ground, leading outside, he rushes out of the ship, bumping into several of the passengers, he manages to find the rest of the cuffs and then soon he finds the metal bit, he picks it up and grips in his hands.   

"Motherfucker," he snarls and scans around and seeing nothing beyond him, just the endless desert, he throws the bit to the ground in anger, his bounty was gone.   

☠️🩸☠️🩸

Alice rushes back into the ship and sees why Johns was in a hurry out of there, Riddick was gone! She gasps and fear begins to creep up her spine, he was free, but where was he? She was scared now that he was free but hurt that he left and frustrated that she did not get to talk to him, secretly... she hopes he will come back, she turns and sees Johns returning from his 'run'.

"What is going on?" Fry asks, demanding for answers as everyone gathers around to see what was happening, Johns just sighs deeply, scratching his head, "Riddick escaped," everyone looks at him in shook and fear.

"I found these..." He said as he holds up the cuffs and bit that held Riddick prisoner before,"... That way," Johns says as he points far off and breathes deeply, "okay, everyone, we need to gather as many weapons as we can, my prisoner, Riddick is one of the deadliest men ever, we need to protect ourselves, Paris... you got any weapons in your 'personal stuff?" he asks.

Paris was startled with his question as all eyes went to him, he begins to stutter and shows them all what carried, Johns however, goes through his weapons, which was several knives and guns, he loads up a shotgun and aims it, testing its durability, "what are these?" Fry asks Paris as he walks past her as she holds up a golden scythe.

"Thay are Maratha crow-bill war Picks from India, very rare," he says and Zeke walks up to him and takes a long pole with a dragon's mouth at the end, "and this?"

"That is a hunting bow-dart pipe from Papua New Guinea, that is very rare, too, since the tribe is now extinct," Zeke just scoffs, "cause they could not hunt shit with these things probably," Paris just sets all the weapons down face Johns, not seeing why they should be doing this, "what is the point? If he is gone, he is gone, why should he bother us?"

"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 states with a glare, "he sounds like a real charmer Shazza mutters sarcastically and grabs as much as she could, and she hands Alice a sword.

Alice frowns at her while Shazza silently urges her to take it, hesitantly, she takes it into her hands, "I agreed with Paris, there is no way he would just come back, I mean he is stuck here as much as we are," she said, Johns just  snorts at her, "with Riddick, there is always a way out, this just another daily challenge for him, no different than a crossword puzzles for others,"

"How can we get him off this planet when the only ships are scattered all over out there?" Zeke asks, "maybe if we find water... we might have luck and found another ship, this planet has to have life somewhere, right?" Jack suggests.  

That made everyone think, if Riddick finds a way off this planet, they will be stuck here, so... they need to get a move on and search for water as soon as possible.
