Snow In The Dark

Show Me Your Eyes

When Johns wanted to go farther away from the ship I decided that was when me and Jack should head back.

Jack whined a bit but she still listened following back towards the crashed ship. Just both freezing when the distant pops filled our ears.

"What was that?" She asks looking up at me.

"Gun shots." I say picking up my pace.

When we reached the ship we found out there was another survivor. The only problem was Zeek thought he was Riddick, him putting a few bullets in the man's back.

"So you just shot him? Just like that?" I ask, looking down at the deadmans body.

Most people would have been grossed out or bothered by it but when you're raised like I was, seeing a corpse is just another tuesday.

"Johns told me to." Zeek says as if that explained everything away.

"Who made him the boss?"

"Look there is no point in worrying about it now. The man is dead, bury him with the rest and worry about getting us off this planet." Paris says, him cleaning his glasses.

"I am gonna worry about it. What if Johns tells him to shoot me or Jack? I wanna know if he is just going to listen."

"He told Zeek to shoot Riddick because he's a killer." Sharon says stepping into my bubble.

"Yeah and now so is Zeek funny how that works. Come on Jack lets go." I say moving away from them.

I step down onto the sand and walk away from them.

"Why are you so mad about Zeek killing that guy?" Jack asks, walking next to me.

Us not really headed in any direction just away from them.

"It's not that he killed the guy. We both know I got blood on my hands. It's just I don't like the fact when Johns said jump Zeek said how high."

"Johns was the one that busted your lip right?"

"Yeah, but that's not the only thing." I say thinking about my encounter with Riddick.

Sure he was intense but I didn't feel scared of him.

"What's the other thing?"

"Doesn't matter. We should find something to help with no point in just wasting our energy." I say smiling down at her.

"Okay, do you care if I go help Sharon?"

"Sure kid. Just stay within yelling distance."

"You got it." She says smiling and jogging back towards the ship.

Not sure what I could do to help the others I decided I should help myself instead. Scooping my long dark hair up I braid it away from my face and secure it in place with the band wrapped around my wrist.

I was dressed in only black tank top jeans and boots so there wasn't much I could do for my clothes.

Heading towards the ship I walked through it seeing if I could find anything as a weapon. I wasn't the best fighter, but I wasn't going to let Johns smack me around.

I didn't get a chance to find anything, the sound of screaming filling my ears. I don't think as I push myself in the direction of the sound.

I slide to a stop seeing Sharon, Johns and Carolyn surrounding Riddick. Johns jerked his goggles off making Riddick yell in pain like he got hit in the face.

The sound made my fists clench. Anger running through me.

"Hey what are you doing?" I ask quickly moving next to them.
