Eyes In Darkness

Chapter 7

I froze and held my breath the tail moved back and forth. Everything was fine until Suleiman stumble down the hall catching the creatures attention Riddick tells him "don't move you have a very bad timing"

another tale came into view followed by another and the creatures let out a loud Screech.

with that Suleiman took off running down the hall back towards the way he came which got the attention of the creatures one dive down and grabbed Suleiman followed by another.

Riddick told me " don't look" I closed my eyes as the screaming was replaced with a loud ripping noise.

We stayed still the creature starts leave until one's tail hit a crate causing it to fall which made us run so we wouldn't get hurt.

The monster chased us until we saw the light of a cutting torch we almost made it to the rest of the group when John's turned and shined Riddick in the eyes with his flashlight causing him to fall into the light.

While Johns shot at the creature it went out a hole in the hull of the ship. Everyone was staring at where the  creature went in shock,while I helped Riddick stand-up and checked him for injuries he made sure I wasn't hurt either, when he was done he pulled me against his chest in a comforting hug.

The shock finally wore off on the  rest of the group and Imam asked the question that broke my heart "where is Suleiman" "he was taken by the creature I'm sorry Imam" I told him he looked like he was going to faint from the pain of Suleiman being killed.

Tears slipped from my eyes Suleiman was like a nephew to me I had been around him since the day he was born , what made it worse is that I knew that It could and probably would happen again it made me worry for Ali, Jack and Hassan.

Before I could start to panic I was pulled into another hug by Riddick there was a low noise coming from his chest the sound made me feel safe the hug was interrupted by Fry and Johns fighting over what to do. Before Johns whipped out his shotgun and point it toward Fry.
