Riddick's Mate

Part 2

Part 2 Would You Die For Me?

☠️🩸☠️🩸

With the dim light from the bottle of glowing bugs, Jack and Imam huddle together in the light, both jump as they hear thudding happening behind the rock, knowing it was the creatures fighting each other to get their way into the cave, with nowhere to go, Jack and Imam held on to each other and brace themselves, but Jack gasps in terror when the rock moves but they both sigh in relief when they see Fr, Jack moves with hope when Fry moves out of the way and Alice peeks inside with Riddick and Jack said with a big smile, "never had a doubt."

"Anyone not ready for this?" Riddick jokes and Imam then smiled and said, "there is my God, Mr. Riddick," Alice then said, "we have got the cells all hooked up in the ship, we need to hurry," as she helps Riddick and Fry moves the rock more for Imam and Jack to escape and as one, they move together towards the path that Riddick and Alice found that led directly towards the Skiff, but Riddick stops when they come across a roadblock, the creatures were swarming around the path, Riddick takes Alice's hand, intertwining his with hers, she does the same with Fry, Fry with Jack and last Jack with Imam.

Yelling, Riddick pulls and leads them through the creatures, the creatures become startled by the sound and appearance, they shriek as the light from the bottle hitting them as they fly away, the group rushes towards the muddy hill and start to climb, struggling to reach the top, Alice grunts and pull-on Jack, helping her more.  

"Do not stop~ Come on! Move it!" Riddick yells and shoves Alice, giving her a boost, he turns fast when the creatures were closing in on them.

"You know the way!" He shouts and scrambles over the mud to get away and Fry, Imam and Jack race towards the Skiff, Alice was behind then, but she kept looking over her shoulder for Riddick, Riddick was far behind as was just about to make it past the containers, but a creature flies down and lands in front of him, Riddick skids to a halt but then realizes it did not know where he was, remembering the blind spot, Riddick rushes as it begins to turn towards him, he stands right in between the creature head, hiding himself from its sight.

"On bboard, come on, get on, come, now," Fry urges them all, Alice realizes that Riddick was not behind them and gasps in fear as she waits for him in the lights and Riddick continues to hide himself from the creature until finally it turns and leaves, he then slowly moves away but jumps when another creature show up, making the other aware that he was there, both of them eyeing him down with hunger, Riddick grabs his shiv and then prepares himself. 

"Alice, we must go," Imam says gently, knowing that she carried feeling for Riddick and Alice said, "I cannot," as she continues to watch out for Riddick and Fry spoke up, "we cannot wait for him." 

"He is coming back!" Alice said strongly at Fry, when all suddenly, Riddick screams fill the air, making them jump and Alice yelled, "No!" As she takes off to find Riddick as Fry shouts out as Imam holds Jack back, "Alice! Alice get back here!" 

"Alice!"

Fry then rushes to find Alice as Alice was searching for Riddick.

"Riddick! Riddick!" Alice screams through the rain and uses the flashlight to find him.

"Alice! Stay close," Fry rushes towards her and holding up the glow worms bottle and Alice shouts and screams for him, "we have to find him! Riddick!" When suddenly a figure comes out of the shadows, limping in pain until finally falling on the mud and Alice screams and rushes towards him, "Riddick!"

Fry and Alice scans his body and sees he was cut up badly on his leg, he was covered in his own blood and the creature's blood, he grunts in pain as Alice and Fry force him to stand and Fry says as she takes one arm and Alice takes the other, "okay, hold onto us, we are going to get out of here." 

"Come on, you can do it," Alice says as she struggles to support his weight, but even with the 2 women, he was heavy to carry as Alice and Fry struggle with all their might, stumbling as Riddick's body goes limp a few times from the pain. 

"Come on, Riddick! Get the fuck up! I said I would die for them, not you, let us move, come on," Fry sys strongly as they both struggle to make it to the skiff but suddenly, Fry grunts and arches back in pain, blood spraying around Riddick and Alice, making them both freeze in shock as they watch Fry look at them, it was like she was having an empathy moment, she could not help but smile at both of them, then finally she was snatched into the air and disappears into the dark skies.

"NO!" Alice screams as she and Riddick fall to the ground and Riddick grits his teeth in pain and grunts when Alice struggles to hold on to him as she shouts strongly, "Riddick, move now! When I said I would die for them... you are one of them, I would die for you," and Riddick gritting his teeth as he struggles to get to his feet and grips on to her tightly, glaring down at her with that hard look, fury in his silver eyes when she said that, that she will die for him.

"Not for me, not for me!" He said strongly and pushes himself with her to make it towards the skiff, Jack and Imam waiting impatiently for any of life, they finally hear someone coming and gasps when they see an injured Riddick holding on to Alice and Imam rushes towards Alice to help her, "hurry!" He shouts and guides them both into the skiffs and Jack asks, "Fry?"

Alice just gave her a sad look and shakes her head and Riddick grunts and let's go of Alice and Imam, using the bars and seats to get into the pilot seat, as Alice Riddick was powering up the ship, Alice moves to sit next to him and helps him, Riddick said as he points at the blue button, "Alice press that." 

Imam and Jack sat side-by-side as he trails his thumbs over his prayer beads, "with so many prayers to make up for... I scarcely know where to begins," he said heavily and Jack swallows hard, "I know where I would start," as Riddick finally got the ship ready but then he senses the creatures out there, if they hit the ship, they could cause them to crash, he suddenly shuts off the ships and lights and Alice frowns at him, "what are you doing?" 

Jack looks up as she hears the creatures swarming the ship and she shudders, "can we just get the hell out of here now?" 

"We cannot leave..." Riddick said as a creature jumps on the windshield, startling everyone, Riddick turns and gives it a cold glare, "not with saying good night," Alice then smirks and reaches for thrusters, "hay Fucker," she calls out and feels Riddick's hand over hers, gripping the lever with her, "suck on this," she snarls at them and together they yank on the power, lightening the creatures up and taking into them all as they take off in flight, leaving the horrors behind them. 

As soon as they were in orbit, Alice finally sighs in relief at last and falls against her seat, she finally breaks down in sobs, covering her face as she cries for everyone they lost on that planet, all her fear escaping her pores, her anger, Riddick could smell it all over her and Jack gets out of her chair and hugs her tight and said, "we are okay now," and soon Riddick had the skiff on autopilot towards the shipping lanes, he grunts as he limps out of chair to sit and grabs the first aid kit and Alice wipes her tears away and moves to help her mate, "give it here, I bet I can sew better then you."

Riddick chuckles until he laughs heartily, Alice giggles with him and takes the kit to prove her skills and Imam states, "a lot of questions, whoever we run into, it could even be a merc ship." 

"So what the hell do we tell them about you?" Jack asks as she sits next to Riddick while Alice fixes his leg and Riddick sighs heavily and looks into the 'pitch black' space, "tell them that Riddick is dead, he died somewhere on that planet."
