Eyes In Darkness

Chapter 9

As I was getting the rest of the emergency lights down Riddick said " I want you and the kids to stay close to me out there" "we'll be right behind you" I told him.

Everyone was exhausted from everything that that happened. Imam got up and started to walk to the other side of the room when he tripped and fell against the wall

Before anyone could ask if he was okay a loud beeping noise was heard and a door opened to a room with  really bright lights in it.

Being curious we all went in to the room and shut the door. In the room there was 7 doors we checked

The doors behind each door was bedrooms attached with there own bathrooms and closet with clothes of all sizes.

It was decided that we would stay here for the night to get rest and then we would head to the skiff there was 2 rooms that were connected that is the rooms Jack, Ali, Riddick and I would share.

After I got Ali and Jack cleaned up and in bed I went back to the room that me and Riddick were sharing.

Riddick was sitting on the bed with his goggles on. I asked him "Do you want to shower first" "no you can shower first I'll shower after you"

He told me "alright" I said as I walked into the bathroom with clean clothes from the closet in my hands.

I turned the water on and it was nice and hot. I took off my dirty clothes and jumped in the shower.

I washed my hair and everything else then stepped out and dried off and got dressed. As soon as I walked out of the bathroom he walked in and shut the door. I could hear the water as it came out of the shower head.

when the shower stopped. He came out with nothing but a towel on and I felt my cheeks heat up at the sight of him.

His tan skin sparkling as water ran down his muscular torso. He walked over to the closet and grabbed a black muscle shirt and cargo pants before walking back into the bathroom.

When he came back out fully dressed I was still bright red " where were you going on the Hunter Gratzner" asked

"I was meeting Imam on earth to adopt Ali then I was going to take him to the planet I grow up on" I told him

"We should probably go to sleep we have A lot to do tomorrow" I said

"I'll take the floor"Riddick said "we can share the bed there's no reason for you to sleep on the floor" I told him.

I laid down and patted the space beside me Riddick laid down beside me slowly and carefully like he was scared if he laid down fast he'd hurt me.

We both fell asleep fast. I jumped and woke myself up because I was having a nightmare that I couldn't remember now. When I jumped it woke Riddick up as well I was having a hard time calming down.

Riddick wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in to his chest and I instantly calmed down and relaxed into him he was making that noise again I would have to ask what that was at some point but not right now because it was getting harder to keep my eyes open

As I drifted off again I heard Riddick mumble "sweet dreams my angel" after that I was asleep.
