Chapter eleven
I woke up again moments after Riddick started clashing his chains; in the twenty or so minutes that it takes for the group to come back I manage to get myself leaning against a wall and my magic sealing off my injuries in the five minutes after that, that it took Johns to convince himself to come to the bunker; I was healed enough to walk, sort of, though not to fly; it would take me a while to recover from this… and if things continued in the same way it has been going I’m just gonna wind up dead. Johns enters, his shotgun slung over one shoulder, and we both tense, I bare my teeth at this disgusting man. Johns glances at me, and licks his lips- then looks to Riddick. “You sure do pick ‘em Riddick. I’m not here to kill you.” Johns says to Riddick- smug Blue-Eyed… evil. Acting as if he never harmed us and hadn’t made threats to me with his eyes. My own eyes were promising him the tortures of hell. Riddick's eyes glance at me in amusement before turning back to him.
“Found something worse then me down there, huh?” Riddick asks, ignoring Johns grip on his gun. Johns gives a little nod, swallowing showing his nerves I nearly laugh at him, he has no compunctions shooting me but is afraid of Riddick; the man obviously didn’t have instincts to speak of. “We’re movin’ out. And I was wondering if I shouldn’t lighten the load right now.” Johns says, eyeing both of us, I hiss, low and threatening- it’s something that is coming easier to me; Riddick just narrows his eyes at Johns. Riddick’s and Johns’ eyes meet; Johns straightens out the shotgun, leveling at Riddick’s head I start to attempt getting up; it doesn’t go well. “Woof, woof.” Riddick teases, Johns flinches. The shotgun discharges, and Riddick is still alive and well, I relax as I see the chains are broken. Riddick’s free; it makes me wonder when Johns’ll turn on him. “Want you to remember this moment, Riddick. How it coulda gone and didn’t.” Johns gloats he truly is an idiot; Riddick looks up at him. “Say that again.” “Here’s the deal. You work without the chains, without the bit- without the shivs. You help us get off this rock.” Johns tempts Riddick- his hands still on the shotgun. “For what? The honor of goin’ back to some asshole of a cell?” Riddick sneers while rubbing at his wrists- his attention fully on Johns. He looks uncomfortable with Riddick’s full attention on him; Johns sighs, and looks around us. “Truth is, Riddick, I’m tired of this head-up shit. I wanna be free of you as much as you wanna be free of me.”
My eyes narrow further… there is a lie in there and I’m betting it’s the part about freedom, specifically Riddick’s. I shift my weight, I still hurt. I see Riddick glance at me, thoughts of the future sliding into his eyes. “You’d cut me loose…” Riddick begins seriously- he ends sarcastic and biting enough to make me grin. “Boss?” Johns smiles, sure that Riddick won’t turn away the offer; sure that he was gonna win this little battle. “Only if we both get outta this alive. And there may be a way.” Johns knows something important that we don’t. Interesting- I wonder what else they found out scouting. Johns offers Riddick his hand, a way to seal the deal between them. Riddick stares at his hand and speaks honestly. “My recommendation; Do me. Don’t take the chance that I’ll get shiv-happy on your wannabe ass. Ghost me, Johns. I would if I were you.” Johns snorts, the hand still offered. I however feel the need to smack Riddick upside the head… ah well, maybe later. “If you were me, I’d kill us both. C’mon, you wanna sit at the grown-up table or not?” Riddick seems to reach for Johns hand- instead he grabs the shotgun with his other hand, and with a blur of movement I nearly can’t catch, Riddick has the gun and Johns is staring into his own shotgun- which Riddick is holding… beautiful. “Want you to remember this moment.” Riddick purrs with a smirk. He pumps it- emptying it- and drops it. I have to admit that Riddick had given Johns good advice… not that I would have allowed him a chance to hurt my mate; I smile in my head, imagining Johns’ death. I get up; this time I manage; following slowly, I am somewhat surprised when he slows minusculely to allow me to do so.
Kedar continued on to the adobe complex when he arrived he had found that the water collector was broken again and had gone to the supply room to gather the parts needed for repairs, he had just turned to start towards it to make the repairs when he had felt the sudden pain… and the sudden severing of the bond with his carrier. His eyes flashed black; his family was either unconscious or dead. Either way; he now knew that these humans were unworthy of trust. Standing swiftly from where he had fallen at the severing of his link; he headed into the skies; he needed to know what had happened.
Rhios was the most gentle of beings, until you threatened something he cared for… Kedar on the other hand was fierce but carefree; until you threatened what he cared for… then he turned into a fiercely focused predator that planned out every move until he had destroyed you… viciously. Just as he hit the air, the reverberating sound waves of what he recognized as some sort of gun reached him. A tear fell from his eye as he realized the unlikelihood of his family being merely unconscious, his eyes hardened and he flew to where he had last seen his brother. If nothing else… he might find his brothers body for burial. He flew more swiftly than he ever had before and reached the sight of his brother’s injury before they got far; he watched as the human females argued about his brother’s body until a disguised female and the female who was with her started to drag his brother away. He started to dive at them until he heard the girl say that at least they could do something for him; he nearly fell from the sky in relief as he realized that his brother was alive. He knew then that the small female in disguise was going to be his to protect. And he was satisfied with that knowledge.
He watched as his brother was brought within the shade of their crashed ship; and then he turned his attention to listening to the humans who were remaining. He needed to gather knowledge after all; he had to know who to kill for harming Rhios. As he listened in he came to the conclusion that his trip to the supply room had been well timed; they had arrived at that time to the complex. They had noticed the ship and then returned to this place. After repairing the water collector… he felt abashed at not having noticed that. Apparently they had then heard gunshots and rushed back… just in time to harm his parent/brother. Kedar’s eyes glowed gold as they told of the ‘strange creature’ that had flown from the sky and dared to tell them that no violence was allowed. Kedar sneered at them; Rhios was like an angel, in that he never made declarations without purpose.
He did not like fighting; however he understood that it would happen. If Rhios had declared no violence then these idiots were best served to listen… in fact he himself was making a note of it… until told otherwise no bloodshed. He couldn’t wait until his brother allowed him to slip his lead. As he continued to watch these humans, he noticed that two of the women were missing, apparently inside the ship; he hoped for their sake they were caring for his brother. A few minutes later the girl came running out of the ship grinning broadly. Kedar gave a sigh of relief as he felt his brother pulling upon their magic; obviously healing himself. A moment later the woman that led them followed, she was shaking her head as if in frustration… something about her gave him a feeling of dislike; it only took him a moment to realize it was Rhios’ and not his own. His curiosity was piqued, his brother was a great leader and had led thousands into battle; he had shared the memories even though he had not yet hatched at the time… even his worst enemies had not awoken this form of dislike in him… not even his torturers. His attention was swiftly drawn back to the wrecked ship as a gunshot went off. His fear was stopped by a wave of comfort and reassurance. Rhios sent Kedar a sense of needing to stay and watch the back of the pack; and the sense that it had grown. Kedar had to wonder who was now going to be part of the family; he watched the proceedings carefully for a hint… and nearly leapt down to the humans when he watched his brother stumble out behind the man he had earlier watched over rather than these annoying humans.
