     I felt my body get lifted up. I opened my eyes but relaxed as soon as I realized it Riddick. I was starting to trust him and I think he was doing the same. I curled up into his chest and fell asleep again.

     This time when I woke up it was to a hissing noise. Then a gun shot. I jumped up and looked around. It came from outside. I saw a cat and bounty hunters. Then there was yelling. Riddick yelling my name just as a sharp pain hit my stomach. I fell to my knees as I started choking on my own blood. Finally it all ended and I fell to the ground on my back. I was dead but still had all my senses. Someone crouched down next to me. Jack.
      "I had to. It was you or me and like they say 'better you than me!'" She walked away laughing.

        I woke up covered in sweat. The first thing I did was touch my stomach where the bullet had hit me. There was nothing there. It was all a dream. I looked around. Jack was asleep on the floor. Riddick was next to me. They both looked to be asleep until Riddick spoke up, not opening his eyes.
     "What's spooked you, kid?" I jumped in fear, not really expecting that. I shook my head.
     "Doesn't matter." I replied and stood up, stretching. Then I started looking around for food. As if knowing exactly what I was doing Riddick spoke up again.
     "There's jerky in the front on the dash." That's when I finally took in that we were on a ship.
     "Where are we?" Was the only thing I asked.
