Riddick: Aiwa

Hey fellow readers!

Just a lil preview. Haven't had this idea in a while, so here goes.

Riddick was really calculating his chances now.

The desert he had thought to be barren surprised him with a pack of scaled wolves.

He was now hiding in a crevice in a canyon.

One female was really something.

She had caught sight of him right out of the ship and followed him through dry creeks and prickly briar bushes.

She had nearly caught him over the valley between the briar wall and the canyon.

But she lost him when he scaled the canyon wall.

She watched him climb, giving an unhappy whine when he clambered into the crevice.

He could have sworn she sounded like a child denied the right of a handful of candy.

She even tried to climb the wall, as he had.

But she fell, with a pained yelp, to the ground.

He could smell her scent, a strange combination of flowers, like she had run through a field of flowers and then rolled in them.

He could see her eyes, a surprisingly human hazel.

She gave a sad howl, much like a sob, and turned away, walking until she slipped into an alleyway.

Riddick waited until he could sense her no more, then he climbed onto an overhang. He found that the overhang led to a small pool of water.

It was relatively small with a considerable amount of ledge around it.

Testing the water, he found it to be drinkable. Filling his canteens, he prepared to relax be fire exploring the canyons.

As he put his canteens down, he heard rocks clattering in the caves around him.

He stood straight up, holding still, listening.

Claws clicked once, and a snarl ripped through the air.

He drew his shive, spinning around and slicing through the air in front of him.

His reward for missing was being slammed into the wall.

It was the female.

Must've found a pathway around,

he thought as he swing his shive, aiming anywhere. sharpened bone sunk into flesh.

The wolf gave a sob-like whimper and backed off him.

Riddick took his chance and lifted her, tossing her into the pool.

He stood up and growled.

"Did Not know who she was fucking with."

He was feeling victorious until the pool exploded and a pair of claws secured themselves to the ledge.

It really threw him a loop when, instead of a wolf, a young woman pulled herself out, gasping.

But when he looked into her eyes, they were the wolf's eyes.
