Riddick's Mate

Part 2

Part 2 of Afraid of The Dark 

☠️🩸☠️🩸

After leaving Alice, Riddick decided to scout out the the colony, something was not right about this place, he could feel it deep inside, normally, it did not surprise him if there was trouble and he never really cared if anyone other than himself was at risk, but this was his mate, he scoffs as he grins crookedly to himself, never imagined himself to be in this situation, he never even considered himself the settling down type, he was not sure if he would want his Pet in his life, his so-called life, full of danger at every corner of the universe practically wanted his head on a stake.

If he wanted to keep her... as badly as heart was screaming for her... he needed to figure out how to keep her protected, first things first, got to get off this rock and as Riddick continues to scout the lost colony, scanning around as he notices little things here and things here and there, dead gardens, chairs and furniture turned over, broken glass on skylights, there was a struggle of some sort in this town, he could almost see the settlers running fast, screaming as they ran from the horrors that stalked them, could almost see how the furniture was knocked over, people fell over them, to escape, he walks inside one of the buildings and first thig he see is left over belongings that were owned by a family, kids, garlands hanged on the walls, he knew the tradition that some do on certain days, holidays or some shit, he frowns when he accidently steps on a toy, hearing the plastic crunch under his boot. 

Looking up and around the building even though it is a little obvious whatever happened was a long time ago... but the stench of fear and death still stained the walls and floors, those things he heard before... what killed Zeke.... they must have killed this whole colony and normally, he was not afraid of anything, but for the first time ever in his life fear was sneaking its way into his heart when the image of his Pet comes to his mind and the creature below.

Meanwhile, in the other building, Paris was unwrapping crystal goblets for himself and the crew, Riddick continues to walk around the compound, seeing more and more discarded belonging scatters all over the ground, he looks around and studies the damaged buildings, seemingly unaware that he was being followed, Jack stood on the rooftops with Imam's followers, Ali and stalks Riddick, his freshly shaven head lifts as he lowers the goggles over his eyes, he looks over to Ali, "let us go." 

Together they follow Riddick as they watch him walk towards a structure, Riddick grips on the handles but he hears the rattling of chains inside, he could see that the door has been bolted from the inside, as if people were trying to keep something out, tarp covered most of the building, but when he pushes it to the side, seeing the words 'CORING ROOM', he pulls the tarp more to see a way in but he hears a sharp whistle, he snaps his head towards the sound and sees John glaring at him. 

"Uh-uh," Johns warns him, "you are missing the party, come on, boy," he pats his leg as if he was calling a dog to obey him, Riddick growling lowly yanks the tarp off of the building, hearing a soft gasp above him, he then turns and sees Jack hiding under a solar-panel, he grins at his surprised face, watching it form to guilt and Riddick mocks John by saying, "missing the party, come on," and nodding to Jack, but meanwhile, Ali managed to find a way into the building that Riddick was curious about, unaware of the solar-panels above becoming activated now that the sun was powering them up.
