" Ship should be ready soon.. " The bright sun shines across a familar looking face, the girl stood about 5 feet 8 inches tall, she had two blonde pigtails draped across her shoulders, covered in soot, and rust from the broken down vessel. " Caroline.. " She sighed and turned around, behind her was a large ship, its color was grey, its shape was that of something unmentionable, though compared to the one that was ripped ands tattered it looked fairly small, the back ends were nothing but bosters for the leave from the planet, it remained hovered for they hadnt been there for any longer than a few days, though they were soon to depart the planet. She whiped her brow and sighed, it had been 7 years since the planet had its hour of darkness. And the woman had spent every waking minute of them trying to find where this ship had landed, finally getting a signal from the ships course selection that had been attached to Caroline, she had placed a marketing place where the ship were to stop, fortuneatlly she ship crashed not to far from the planet where the ship was planned to take a fuel break, they searched the surrounding planets and finally had come to stop on this one.
" Emma! We need to head off the planet to regain fuel! You can either stay untill we get back, or come with us! Up to you!" A loud voice barked from inside the ship, it had begun to run low on fuel from having it constantally on. Emma shook her head and yelled in return.
" I want to stay here, i want to look around! I need to knwo what happened to her!... and everyone she was witt" Her sentence trailed off, as she ended it, the ship captian took that sentence and tossed outside a large futiristic looking crate, it was bigger than Emma herself, an dlooked rusted and old, inside contined materials, mostly water and camping supplies. Afterwords another backpack was tossed from inside the ship, it was rtagged and contained a hydration packet, Emma cought this and started to attach it to her back, she looked toward the ship to give a thumbs up.
" Take care of yourself! We will be back as soon as possiable to this exact spot! Kepp the transmitter on," The ships main entrance door begun to close, Emma trotted over to the werked ship and waited for it to leave the planet before she averted herself to watch it fly into space. She sighed and started to walk.
" .. Caroline... i'm so sorry i wish i had gotten here when you sent out the sos.. i'm sorry!" Emma spoke to herself as she walked, but upon looking up she glared at what looked like trees she squinted to get a better look and then shook her head " ..there can't be trees here, thats impossiable this place is pratically a waste land!" She looked around her and decided to correst that, " alright.. so it is" She picke dup her pace and continued to pace toward the trees.. which eventfully turned out to be bones, Emma slowly found her way through them, not thinking to correct her horriable mistake for believing there coul dbe some type of life form on this planet.
This is when she tripped, stumbling to the ground in ppure suprize, she growled and turned to her feet, pulling out a knife that was strapped to the side of her arm on a buckle, but this was followed by a loud scream. Wrapped around her foot was what appeared to be a human rib cage, Emma tried to struggle agianst it, but without necessairy need, the bones crumbled into an almost sah form, the was obviously not very king to fragial human interiour. She shook her head and tried to let this not get the best of her, so she rose to her feet and continued on her way, finally making it through the forest of bones, the found herself in another form of light, she reached for herforhead, bringing over a pair of thick sunglasses to shade her grey eyes,
" Three suns... this planet has three suns..." She repeated this while she continued to walk, for what seemed like hours, she couldnt tell, her watch had stopped working she sighed and rubbed her face, which merely got it dirty, she looked up and a sight famillar to some, wasnt to her.. it was the remains of what seemed to be a building, she stopped to gander at it her mouth was slowly dropping. " Caroline!" She yelled as she started to run toward it, though being in a tight green skirt her speed was somewhat slowed town, she could feel the tears ripping through her face, they stung in the heat but she didnt mind it. " Caroline Caroline!!" She ran up to the first door which was a normal shaped door with a weird knob she turned it and yelled once agian into the room, " Caroline!" Once the call was answered with silence, she darted to the next part.. this part of the complex was much larger and it seemed to be shaped to be formed like a house, she looked at it and took a logn sigh.. " Caroline i've come to take you home."
" Caroline is gone.." A voice creeped behind her, it was deep and uncalled for. Emma paused th emotion of reaching out to turn the knob and turned around, a man stood infront of her, the sun cought her eye before the man did, and in a swift few motions the door was opened and the man was gone. Emma turned around to catch a glimpse of a figure sitting on a table inside, knees proped up an dhis hands were drape dover either one of them, covering his hands were bandages, tight but you could notice the blood stains working their way to drain the front white covering.
".. who are you.." Emma rose her left arm to shade her eyes, but the figure still remained halfway covered in darkness, only his legs were visiable.
" Come closer.. I don't like the light." You could tell he spoke through a frown, his voice was calmer than when he first addressed her. Emma took a step inside, it smelled of rotten blood and water.. the floor was cold she could feel it through her black boots, even more so through her wool socks, the air smelled as if the place its self were an antique, she turned a little, and felt eyes dritfing up her body so she asked once more.
".. who are you.. and how do you know my sister.." Emma removed her hand from protecting her eyes to her side. She heard a gesture and then felt hands climbing over her face.
" You remind me of her.." The hands went to their place, Emma couldnt tell but she leaned to her side so to let the light shine on the stranger. His form was much taller than hers, dressed in a longsleved black shirt, and what appeared to be green pants, which were tied off at the knees where boots ran down the rest of his legs, Emma felt tiny, if there were a word that would be smaller than such it would be it. Emma was particularlly fond of his face, which had eyes covered in goggles she rose her hands to remove them But he backed away.
" My name is Riddick. I could tell you i am an escaped murder.. but that would frighten you.. so lets just say i am an escaped King..." He were to grin into the sunlight before turning back into the darkness. Though the next comment would suprize him, he felt the warm toutch of a females hand son his legs and leaned away from her but she grabed him just as tight.
"... tell me.. where my sister is.." Emma growled at him, obviously she was not afraid of him, nor did it seem he could scare her, Riddick grabbed her face pulling her away from him with an extended arm.
" Caroline, is dead, she die don this planet long before you even found it." He pushed her back and felt the glare of her eyes, which almost began to water, but she stopped them.
" Then i am sorry to have bothered you." Emma turned into the light and Riddick cought her in full view, she was in a ripped up black shirt which had merely two tiny straps holding it ont her, her skirt was green but seemed to be blacker than green, dark gray wool socks liked down her legs from her knees untill they met with her boots which only cam eup to her ankles, her hands had gloves over them, they were brown and quite complex, she rose her hand and rested it on the doorway and turned to look at him. " Good day.."
" She died right there.. whe're you are standing," Riddick spoke as Emma walked out, she hadnt realized she was standing on a small boarding deck, slightly away from a take off platform. Emma stopped and her eyes widened and begun to water, it was obvious how hard she has been trying to not cry over the news of her sisters death. She turned back to him holding onto her lip with her top teeth tears were pouring just as thay had been when she entered the facility, Riddick was now outside hands on his hips, he was watching her. Emma stopped herself from crying and jumped of on one foot and ran thworing herself agianst Riddicks body crying agians thim, he simply stared foward and let the girl sob while he watched the spot
" I said I'd die for them Riddick not for you!" Carolines voice echoed throughout his head, He didn't notice that above him it started to get darked Untill Emma looked up toward the sky.
" There..Theres a ship comming down.." Emmas voice Ripped through Riddicks memory, he sweeped her into his arms and dashed for the cylo which lined the building, he crashed both himself and her through the door and threw her to the side Emma who was completelt amazed by the production of him hiding them had lost her ability to speak for the moment, though this was soon discovered because Riddick was covering her mouth.
" Like i told you i am a runaway king..." Riddick could tell by the look on her face what she was going to ask, he turned and a famillar sceen pased through him, what looked like a well rested in the middle of the cylo, he cringed at the thought but it was the only way to escape this place. " We are going to jump down there, and as soon as you hear the ship leave i want you to tell me, I will protect you do you understand me? Not turn yoru belt on.." He ended this and Emma figited aroudn till she turned on her belt, it lit up amazinglly Riddick nodded and grabbed the nearest chain and wrapped it around his hand, he swung himself up ontop of the well and heald out his handEmma ran toward him and grapped herself agianst his body, Riddick looked toward the door, as he heard the ship decending he jumped into the well, Emma screaming the entire way town, the chain stopped and Riddick gripped tightly onto it feeling his arm about to snap he let go. The swelling had gone down from his arm.
Emma stepped back, her belt was glowing brightly, as if it were a full lamp itself but she was confused at to why she needed it to be on, so she reached around to turn it off. Riddick Barley noticing her sudden movement Ripped himself aside from her to grab her hand, he clenched the tiny wrist in his left hand tightly, Emma's fingers cringed and she started to pout, belowing herself to his power she sunk to her knees. Her movement was followed by sharp hisses and growls, opening her eyes she whimpered and felt her way around for Riddick's legs or something worth holding her body to, she pressed her chest agianst him, her heartbeat was fast and she wanted to stop it, for she no longer wished to be afraid.
" w-what is.. down here.." She whispered to him and looke dup, to see two tiny glowing beads above her. " What.. is on your face.." Emma's hand felt her way up his jeans grabbing them, which allowed her the weight advantage to pull herself up to her legs.. she stared at him for a long time before she realized that those were his eyes. " How.. how do you get eyes like that.." She murmured.
Riddick froze stiffer than he was when she lifted herself and turned away, closing his eyes for he didnt wish for her to see them.
" You gotta' kill a few people first.." Riddick answered.
