Far Away Soul, White Cold Star 💫

Chapter 20 p.2 “Brittle..How..Brittle…little Sea Begotten Bones..~”

Must be something along these shores..no way everything has been eaten by those damnable parasites

Sands so dark I wonder how many souls are buried deep beneath them

That's a horrid thought..actually heh- those waters..though..

Feel them calling my name even..I feel like..going to them...

So dark..so comforting..just one..

One

Step

So very Near to the Edge..

It..speaks to Me..

H-home..

A harsh tug at the back of your jacket thrashed you back to the shoreline, foot ever so hovering above the water you blink in confusion as to what had just transpired. Hand letting you go you sit there staring at the rolling waves of the sea till you hear, "The Waters aren't safe..I wouldn't recommend even wading in it if I were you", that soft voice making you turn up and to your dismay it's that same woman again. Vìrkä stared down at your small figure with a serious expression on her face. It has been a long and restless night at the beach, apart from the hectic morning it just felt like there were voices calling you- ringing in your ears never seeming to go away no matter what you tried. Forehead bandaged up with a piece of cloth, Vìrkä helped Kÿr stand back up off the black beach sand, "My bad for the force..but uh- These waters aren't safe..undrinkable and for what I know inhospitable so I recommend you throw something in it before you even try to touch it okay?", finishing it in a soft tone of voice after patting your shoulder a few times she walked away into the distance along the shoreline. Kÿr watched her following on the black sands made him wonder on about this strange feeling, 'she must sense it too right? Like who can't it's such a strong tugging feeling..like it's truly calling out for you', Kÿr thought to himself promptly brushing off the sand from his trousers and running after her to not be left behind.

The dark blue sea was serene, the view of blue for as far as you can see with no landmasses in the distance to take record of, this continent is really like a massive island with nothing else around it but itself..how draining. Soft cool sand crunching under your footsteps Vìrkä stretched her arms in the air fully opening her mouth revealing her serrated teeth once again to yawn, her bare toeless feet sinking into the black sand as she walked ahead. Her left long drooping ear twitched up as she stopped in her tracks, Kÿr panting a bit put his hands on his knees in an attempt to catch his breath, "Jeeeeeeez....Hhhh- I..man I hate being Short..stubby darn legs..", he wheezed having to take even longer strides to even catch up with her. Vìrkä putting her hands behind her head looked down at the Sìrlan and smiled holding back a little laugh, "You'll grow into it", she turned around, "Little Hybrid", she remarked continuing to walk on knowing what will ensue after this.. 'it's classic Kÿr right? Of course it is'

"Pvbshdbfft- What?! What'd you say?! Come back here!", Kÿr said waving his fist in the air in aggravation running on his stubby legs after her to no avail, Vìrkä speed walking away causing the small Sìrlan to trip over his own tail and roll on the ground. Sounds of playful screaming and sand getting kicked everywhere made none other than Hijìn to turn around and look back. Hijìn had turned remaining rags as well as woven cloth by Vìrkä into pieces of clothing for him to wear, he had collected sharp shells from the beach and grounded them into powder, fitted branches he got from the red wood tree line into a stone spear, had already made a water jug from a random skull husk he found buried under the sand, and woven himself a small sun hat with the remaining plant fibers and cloth he had left over. Looking back he saw Kÿr chasing Vìrkä, the two playfully running around slightly getting splashed by the waves hitting the shoreline, Vìrkä sprinting then hopping over a incoming wave made a run for it from Kÿr chasing after her threatening her with a water blaster. Hijìn sighed looking away faced back towards the tree line, he has been testing wether or not their ban from these woods had been true, but sadly with many attempts at getting inside they've all been futile. One can only move their hand within a feet of the tree line before a heavy gravitational force beginning to encircle your arm and once close enough your thrusted back unable to get any closer..what an inconvenience..

Curiosity growing once more, Hijìn thrusted his hand towards the tree line, the ever so building force started to grow the closer and closer he got to touching it. Shadows of the woods screeched out to him making his hand tremble from the incoming pressure until finally his hand was forcibly jerked back by the invisible force, looking at his hand Hijìn scoffed seeing a minor burn around his palm almost if the force grabbed him back and threw him out. Scoffing in annoyance he was about to try again till he heard a strange cut off scream occur behind him, turning around he saw Vìrkä standing there bewildered with Kÿr nowhere to be found, "Hijìn! Hijìn! Come I-I don't know what happened to him!", she screamed out concerned. Hijìn running over missed the instant of a rotten plant ridden hand slowly creep from the forest only to disappear. Vìrkä staring at the small waves passing over stood far apart from the water looking back at Hijìn very confused, "I saw the action he was gonna do next..I can only focus on one future at a time- I focus on myself then everyone else but I didn't think he would just vanish from getting touched by the brunt of a wave..", she took a few more steps back away from the waves as Hijìn stared out at the water unsure of how to react. I don't think he's hiding if he was he would have to hold his breath for a while..his body is small so that's difficult on top of that he would need to shrink himself to disappear beneath such shallow waves..something isn't adding up here.

Hijìn standing there clenched his fists trying to think of a possible solution to this, scanned the waters edge near panicking, he was completely dry and had not a single drop of water on him apart from his own sweat. Sun hat slightly swaying in the cool breeze Hijin turned to Vìrkä who had droplets all over her patched up dark purple hoodie and he burrowed his eyebrows thinking, "Vìrkä quickly dry yourself..NOW!", She stammered in the thought of it but realizing what he could possibly mean she passed a dry cloth from Hijìn's satchel on her arms and legs. "Shit My Hoods keeping me soaked with this sea water! Shit!", Vìrkä yelled out quickly trying to yank her hoodie off revealing her white tank top underneath but before she could even react she would vanish into thin air out of nowhere leaving Hijìn standing there eyes wide open in shock. Where the- How In the..What is going on they get slightly soaked then they disappear..what is this. Staring at the water you grow paranoid not able to comprehend what could possibly be doing this and so you run..you run in every direction but back wanting to try and find any possible clue as to where they went..

F..Four Days Later..

Hijìn absolutely exhausted walked back to the original campsite they had made on the beach, blisters on his feet from running all day and night, bags under his eyes, and generally very hungry he made it over. Taking a turn around a rock his face lit up slightly after what he had just saw, Kÿr and Vìrkä were both laying down unconscious on the plant beds they made the while prior, but using up his remaining strength Hijìn jolted over and began to shake them both trying to see if they were both awake. Their bodies shook a few times until finally waking up, Vìrkä sprung up first and looked at Hijìn with a mortified look on her face, Kÿr instantly jumped to his feet holding a gun in hand aiming it up at the sky having a pissed off look on his face till he looked around all confused, "Whh..whhh..what..where- I thought I was just..fighting", Kÿr said looking at Vìrkä who faced him back concerned. "H-Hijìn how..How long has I-.", "It's been four days..you both have been gone for four days", Hijìn responded sitting on his knees facing the two physically worn out.

Kÿr swiped his hand down making the gun disappear took a seat down on his small bed and started counting his four fingers one by one making calculations in his head, Vìrkä watched him before turning to Hijìn and stealing the hat from his head and holding both sides forcing it onto her own head while she tried to cope with what had just transpired. "Four days..I knew the water seemed dangerous because it was void of life..but..how is this even p", "You", the voice echoed in Vìrkä's mind making her quickly turn to the sea to their left. For a split of a second she swore she had just witnessed a head poking between the waves, it's dark yellow eyes wide open staring at her would vanish just as quickly and it made her slightly paranoid. A touch on her knee made her jolt back to see Hijìn staring at her, "You..K?", she exhaled glancing back at the water before facing him, "Y-yeah..I'm fine- just felt like I was sleeping then woke up randomly..feels like the way I felt when I woke up that morning just now it's four days later..", she let the sun hat rest on her head as she witnessed Hijìn slowly start to close his eyes from exhaustion. Vìrkä scoot to the side gently pulling his head to sleep down on her pillow, "Sleep..I'll find something for you to eat..I'll mend your wounds..I'll support..I promise", she softly smiled as she spoke in a quiet calm tone to Hijìn who at this point was knocked out cold.

Patting the man's head a few times keeping the same look on her face, Vìrkä chose to look up only to be met with Kÿr holding his face with his palm having watched the whole time, he had a eyebrow raised questioning what this all was. "Really?", He asked sarcastically, "What I can be reassuring it's not all guts guts guts with me..I'm a individual too ya'know", she said shrugging her shoulders, "Ight Fair..but Y'know kinda weird how delicate you are with him kinda..suspicious", Kÿr said burrowing his brows still staying in the sarcastic tone of voice. "Yeah yeah you and your implications..hope you know just like My sister I was a life spirit..till this junk transpired and I made dumb decisions- besides that you can't be talking she used to be innocent until you arrived", Vìrkä said crossing her arms was soon made to jolt back from an arm wrapping around her side and picking her up. Hijìn awoke having picked up Vìrkä with one arm and tossed her over his shoulder, her tank top getting raised a bit revealing her faded symbol like scars placed on her abs she exclaimed out confused as to what's going on, "Hey! I thought you were sleeping what do you think your doing?!", Vìrkä glanced to her right while holding the sun hat down on her head to see Kÿr being held the same way just this time he was looking at her with the unsurprised look. "It's it guess you should probably consider that next time..this seems to always happen now", Kÿr said pointing at a black tentacle slithering up Hijìn's back and into his right shoulder disappearing, Vìrkä groaning in annoyance just held on any way she could after yanking her tank top back down, "Infected I swear.."

Hijìn standing there holding both of them over his shoulders would grow a familiar grin across his face before bolstering out, "Sorry little children I had to get some actual work done here while Big G had to sleep off his worn down brain..don't mind the transportation we'll be here a while~!", from behind Vìrkä responded with some attitude, "I'm older than you ya black shit stain!", "Don't Care we GO!", Hijìn responded soon spinning on a dime and running in the direction they went initially. Feet pushing sand back so hard it made a dust storm trail behind them, Hijìn sped across the black sands of the beach going past most of where they had crossed, yet by some strange feeling it would seem that he was actually leading off to somewhere..like he knew something. Wind blowing all around harshly, Kÿr tried his hardest to turn around till he could at least see his face, "h-Hey! Where are we Going?! There's nothing even on these beaches!", Kÿr's voice slightly muffled by how much wind was blowing into his face from how fast they were blitzing away. Jerking his head to the right Hijìn confidently smirked revealing rows of serrated teeth would say, "No No No~ While the Kid was running I noticed something in the distance, something large and burning in the horizon, he didn't wanna investigate as he saw all of you as more important priorities n his emotions yadda yadda so now we're gonna confirm my suspicions", Kÿr holding his hair back would respond with, "Whhhhh...Ack Fuck sand in my..Mouth- Pleh! What's your suspicions?!", "That there was a sea port of some kind out here which was hit by my cousins escape", Hijìn said smiling at Kÿr before turning back around and hopping over a small wall made of hole filled rocks blocking the coast.

Stopping abruptly upon arrival the two of you were gently dropped on the ground to see the world ahead in all its wonderful brimstone, Kÿr shaking all over to rid of the sand and Vìrkä streching her arms in the air after yawning once more both faced on ahead to see his thoughts become a reality. Torn down walls, crumbled small town buildings, massive claw marks torn into the docks, smoke billowing out of still burning buildings, and the ever so growing stench of rotting meat filling the skies. Hijìn still maintaining the same cocky smirk at all times crossed his arms and shrugged, "Dang my cousin really did a number on this shit show..maybe we can find something useful here", he said breaking between the two who just looked at all the destruction unsure of why infected Ma'ire even did this. Kÿr holding his right arm after getting squished against the man for five minutes sneaked his way behind Hijìn, carefully stepping over broken pieces of wood, shattered glass, sharp broken metal seams, and any small dangerous object laid to waste by the monster. Vìrkä walked off into the distance towards the broken down handful of buildings wantin to see if she could find any better clothing for this weather, searing heat of the dual suns burning at her exposed skin making her burn her bare feet on the hot wooden floors.

The final standing bits of the docks groaned out from the crashing waves below slamming against their supports, crunching of glass beneath his feet as he walked on to the docks with Kÿr. Kÿr running ahead would swing on a rope to the remainder of the docks broken off from the main platform to check, Hijìn watching on jerked his head all the way to the side maintaining the same look on his face waiting for Kÿr to respond, "There's nothing..don't know why they have such tall docks for boats all the way down here but there aren't any anywhere it seems..", "Agh never mind..let's just check somewhere else then, at minimum there has to be supplies". Hijìn said aloud before extending tentacles from his wrist down the high platform picking up Kÿr and bringing him up to his level, "alright- wait where coocoo? I thought she was following us?", he asked Kÿr confused, but Kÿr being Kÿr just stared at him with a bamboozled look on his face 'tf would I know or care' type emotion. "Hey Boys! Comere real quick!", a familiar voice breaking through the silence caught the two's attention, "Bingo-.", Hijìn muttered to himself looking away from Kÿr and soon running off with the Sìrlan in hand fast as hell causing Kÿr to yell out for a quick second still being held by the tentacle, "Ag-."

Wind blowing around incredibly quickly by their stop after running over, Hijìn and Kÿr arrived on the scene meeting up with Vìrkä except this time she wasn't alone. Vìrkä walked over having her arm around a short, beaten up, cloaked, skull mask-like wearing individual who seemed to limp due to their injuries, "I managed to find a straggler from this small hidden dock underneath all the rubble..maybe we can Y'know get some information on what happened here?", she finished off looking down at the small individual who seemed to cower back in her arms away from the imposing Hijìn who didn't stop glaring down at the creature with a toothy grin like if we wanted to eat them. "Don't worry Little One..we..Don't..Bite..at least they don't~", he teased trying to get a reaction from the little creature only to see nothing come from the multi-hole having face mask and growing bored and losing his smile promptly crouching down to just barely extend over their level, "say something at least damn..". The small figure glanced up to Vìrkä who would softly smile down at it giving it some reassurance till it faced up to the man and Sìrlan and from the seven black holes in its skull mask seven eyes would appear in them, Kÿr slightly jerked his head back in discomfort to the sight before it spoke in a monotone slightly raspy rustic accent, "A-hm..lagrì Fraksè mur difriket.. verti..hard..te speek..vurti sortty", they bowed down in awkwardness trying to not make themselves seem a fool in a way from them trying to speak in everyone else's language as it isn't their primarily used one.

Vìrkä slowly sitting down on her knees glared at the two boys not wanting them to make a single joke about their difficulty speaking as she pat the small one on their back a few times, "Look I know the Lagrì Fraksè is a hard dialect but it's the only way everyone on the world can communicate between our many language barriers..I'm glad someone of your age range being so young can even muster a few similar words, but me and my friends need help- we have to cross the sea to escape all the monsters. Did the monsters attack your home?", she asked facing the small individual who slowly nodded their head facing up to her. Kÿr scoffed to himself glancing over to Hijìn saying, "who would've taken her for a youngling caretaker right?", Hijìn snickering under his breath responded with, "yeah what a mystery", before getting smacked across the face by Vìrkä promptly making him shut the fuck up. Fist raised at Kÿr making him shut up as well while having a smiling face to the youngling, Vìrkä would begin whispering to them conversing amongst themselves about it, she has more knowledge upon the many dialects in the region and could probably speak fluently in all of them if given the chance to, but it all came down to a stop when the youngling ran away from all three towards a seemingly untouched small building tucked behind a collapsed tavern. Hijin & Kÿr lookin at Vìrkä confused would be silenced by her getting up and saying, "Our little friend here called- Uh translation is hard gimme a sec..Uh..Hmn..Zemè (Zem-r) kinda odd name but they said they had managed to salvage a small craft from the attack! Only thing is she said was that you Kÿr! Are gonna need to improve its systems before the voyage", Vìrkä said crossing her arms with a cocky look on her face. "Bw-WHAT?! Why me?!", Kÿr yelled back in annoyance crossing his arms in mimicry, "Because I told her your Blessing", "You Bitch!", Kÿr yelled back throwing some sand he saw on the floor at her, but Vìrkä was already following the little Zemè to the shed so all it did was splat on the floor pathetically- Kÿr groaned in response to that too..

Hijìn up and off the ground watching the others walk along would shed his happy demeanor into something more or less of concern, the ruins this place was left in were grand even for its small scale it was if this place was ripped apart intentionally before the monster fled..fle..but where? The giant holes in the dark wood framing are footsteps..a-And the claw marks aren't from its claws but from..tentacles ripping through it all harvesting the citizens in this small settlement on the brink of their world. Hijìn looking all around near frantically analyzing every small detail could nearly perfectly picture the scenario. The Beast breaking through the tree line causing massive earthquakes, people waking up in fear see a several hundred foot tall behemoth linger over them crushing the center of the town underneath it- then came the tentacles. Those horrid growths rip from the insides of the behemoths organs and flesh, slithering their spine filled sharp vines throughout the town slicing through civilians left and right while others harvest the corpses and fuse them into the monsters body making it grow larger not only with Hèr'La's abilities but it's powers of near infinite absorption- the capability to harvest users abilities, knowledge, and skills instantly simply by entering their bloodstream. Hijìn zoning out as he watched the clouds dart across the skies lingered on the thought, his cousin..made specifically to be not only his superior but evolutionary out competitor made to consume him and make the new super power grow, very feeling of dread making the tendrils of the parasite writhe underneath real Hijìn's skin. "Are you alright Xèhtrï?", Hijìn burrowing his eyebrows and looking away scoffed at the very notion turning around and seeing those same cold dead beady gray eyes, Slithering seeming alive void-like eyes of his parasite locking with those of Vìrkä..who could've asked for such a meeting. "Xèhtrï are you alright in there..he treats you well I'd imagine? Especially after- Y'know our issues", Hijìn broke eye contact and walked away from her to the edge of the platform facing the crashing sea below, "don't you dare speak my name..unlike this anomaly of a organism I live inside who can be reasoned with I still crave absolute control and wish to consume the world, but just because this vessel is all fine and dandy with reasoning with the likes of you..", he glared back and she was gone.. "I will never change..your torture to make you my vessel..I'll never forget...", it was like she was never there at all..for she sees all..and nothing will escape Her Grasp..

Tugging at your pants catches your eye as when you look down you see no one else but Zemè, her boney fingers poking from her baggy cloaks sleeves latched on to you as she wanted your attention. Seeing no reason not to entertain this youngling in good spirits you crouch down to this strange creature and give them the space to speak. Zemè gently approached having her hands together leaned her head slightly to the side as she faced the man, she made no noise only stared at him with all seven eyes poking behind the skull mask as the sea breeze gently blew over them. Moment passing with the two calmly staring at one another Zemè got a bit closer and handed him a envelope from her right sleeve, "Preeze..gib Zis to za..", Zemè knocked on her face mask a few times with her left hand in some agitation Hijìn slightly smiled saying, "Don't worry I suffer from it too..gets better..", Zemè passing her small clawed skeleton-like hand down her mask she tiptoed with both hands on the envelope radiating a more positive energy which emanated around them soothing the mood. "Prease..my mum..had give to A-ædïn! Prease can send?", Zemè begged in her quiet monotone voice looking up to the man, he swayed his head a bit thinking about it till he snatched the envelope and put it in his satchel after patting the small one on her head, "I promise..don't you worry okay", standing back up he confidently grinned and crossed his arms, "If I fail u can kick my ass free of charge!", boastfully chuckling like a idiot intentionally while Zemè managed to slightly giggle before coughing a bit..hm.

A massive gust of wind exploded from the shed knocking the remainder of the destroyed tavern into rubble, Hijìn holding Zemè for dear life planted her back down on the ground looking on in confusion, "The Hell?! Who blew something up?!", he asked only to see little Zemè run off towards there in glee. "W-whh", mumbling to himself in confusion as he followed in a slight speed walk trying to see what has happened. Looking over the edge down to the docks Hijìn's eyes widened in shock, a used to be run of the mill sea boat has turned into a massive high end speed boat, black metal hull, wood framing, used to be motor became gigantic thrusters, and a cabin which ends are shielded by a barrier to not allow water inside from any angle. Kÿr passing his final touch to the side of the boats engines walked outside brushing dust off himself saying, "Damn am I good or not", Vìrkä coming out from behind him tossing some final junk out slightly chuckled, "Sure keep telling yourself that now cmon we need to get going", she said looking up at the two on the platform and she selectively chose to wave at Zemè this time..hm. "Man I really owe you credit little rodent you sure know how to make shit that hits different- cootos to you haha!", he said before hopping down and landing on the entrance passing through the barrier, Hijìn turning around would check up to see if Zemè was coming with them but strangely enough she was gone..about to hop over to check once again he was stopped by those same cold green hands. Vìrkä looked at him and she didn't really want to bring herself to saying it but she just had to, "X- Hijìn..she's gone..", Hijìn turned around awkwardly chuckling as he faced her, "what do you mean..Gone? Me and her just spoke and she just gave me this envelope from her mother?", Vìrkä stammered in her words for a second before uttering it out, "She was never truly with us..she..she passed with the rest of her people four days ago Hijìn..that envelope was the final piece of the puzzle for her to finally pass on..she died with it..and now you carry it". He couldn't even bring words to even describe what this all could even be..poor girl must've been hiding with her parents till she was ordered to stay here..given the envelope to travel as far away from here as possible on the old ship..but she chose not to..trying to go back to her parents it was too late and she perished with them..if only..we killed that thing..she would've been here..

Slow rumbling of the high frequency engine started making the boat move forward through the dock and out towards the open waters, the barriers seal fully enveloped the ship making it so not even a droplet of water could even enter from anywhere, slapping of low waves hitting the bottom of the ship as it made it out. Vìrkä sitting by Hijìn watched him soullessly stare at the sea beyond, 'My..promise..will it even matter anymore..No we have to give it to her- we fail again we need to do this..for her at least for someone..my weakness allowed her to die from that monster and now I shall carry this burden too..'. Kÿr listened to it all, he gripped the steering wheel and slowly moved the lever forward making them gently move on ahead, his face stayed near emotionless and his thoughts almost vacant except for one thought, 'I never even saw this so called Zemè..I was just..playing along who'

You've crossed not only the desert sands, you've traveled the stars and battled across the red forested continent filled with dangers at all sides, but now you strap yourselves in a vessel to cross this worlds very oceans. You may leave us..boy..but we shall always remain with you!

Why did she say she knew this would happen I needed more time! Why did she kick me off and stay inside of that monster?!

She should've stayed on that Beach..right?

I could've been stronger if only I had a blessing or anything I could've killed that monster and made everyone happy!

V I know you'd change someday..and that's why your the only person in the world I can proudly say I'm family with and that I love..

...

Idiotic children..ripped of their grasp believe escaping the manifolds of the woods they shall be saved..No..I will command her to get her revenge..regardless of who perishes. You've tarnished the last of my plans..that monster of filth and sin shall prevail in becoming the ultimate life form to have ever walked this planet..and mantle me as the true creator of this wretched world..

Shifting seas call out to you, their ever whispering Melodie's draw you closer and closer to the truth. Monsters unknown lurk in all corners of this world, you've seen two of the many serpents which reign on each continent..only thing is who would you meet next? Engine rumbling your ordered to stop at a line in the sea, a Line made from the separation of fresh from salt water..a race to the finish..

Death always prevails but life chases after the best in us all..

Mad dash to the end of times once again..

Forgone..That is the Conclusion to the Second Arc of Far Away Soul, White Cold Star..

Parasitic Equilibrium..

May we meet again across the stars~✨

Warnings: Language.

Let me know if you want to be tagged :P : @here4thespice @amarokofficial @backseat-serenade-dizzyhurricane @pinkcrystal44 @goblingirlsarah @shelbyteller @classyunknownlover

Part 1 Part 7

Knowing that light hurts the beasts trying to hurt us, everyone quickly takes inventory of everything that makes light.

Despite how bad it looked or not caring how it looked I stuck close to Riddick. He kept me alive more than once today.

Plus I felt calmer around him. More myself. More in control. Something about being next to a man you knew could handle anything that got thrown at him.

So I stood next to him as I stood around the burning cutting torch trying to figure out a plan.

“So we got one cutting torch, we got two hand lights. There’s gotta be something we can rip out of the crash ship.”

“Spirts.” Paris says leaning forward to fan himself.

I was humid and stuffy in this room but it was better than being eaten alive.

“Anything over 45 proof burns rather well.”

“Mmm molotovs my favorite.” I say earning a snort from Jack.

I wink at her and smile.

“Look, it's better than nothing.” Johns says, glaring at me.

“It was a joke.” I say, lifting my hands up.

I don’t even react as I feel the warm body heat behind me. Johns eyes bouncing to the figure behind me told me who it was.

I don’t know what I did to have the killer of the group be my bodyguard but I would take it.

“How many bottles you got?” Carolyn asks, getting us in order once again.

“I don’t know, maybe ten.”

“Okay.” She says, nodding and looking over at Johns.

“Johns you got some flares.”

“So, maybe we got enough light.” She says, nodding.

“Enough for fucking what?” Johns asks.

“How thick are you? Do you wanna tell him or should I?” I ask, looking at Johns then Carolyn.

She holds her hand up as to tell me to shut up or she has this.

“We stick to the plan. We get the four cells back to the skiff, we’re off this rock.”

“Look I hate to ruin a beautiful theory with an ugly fact.” Paris says standing up.

“But that sand cat is solar. It won't run at night.” He says walking over to Carolyn.

“So we carry the cells. We drag them whatever it takes.”

“You mean tonight with all those things out there?” Jack asks, holding onto her legs rocking back and forth. She was scared but doing a great job of holding it in.

I move to sit next to her wrapping my arms around her.

“It’s better to go now then wait them out. We don’t know how long the eclipse is going to last.” I say gently rubbing her back.

“Alright, how long can this thing last?” Johns asks, making me bite my tongue from starting something with him. That wouldn’t help us survive.

“A few hours? A day tops?” He says, very matter of fact.

I clench my jaw ready to shut up but decide against it.

“Didn’t we have this conversation a few hours ago? These people wouldn’t have left everything they own or the ship for that matter if they only had to deal with these things for a few hours or a day tops.” I say spitting the last word.

“I had the impression from the model the two planets were moving as one and there would be a lasting darkness.” Imam says looking at Johns.

“Thank you.” I say, holding my hand out towards Imam.

“Maybe you can only understand men.” I say earning a glare but he doesn't respond to me.

“Mmm.. These suns gotta come up sometime. And if these creatures are phonic about light then we just sit tight and we let the sun come up.” He says, meeting my gaze, the look on his face like he figured it out.

“Okay, where is the water we are going to drink? Or food or oh yeah we’ll probably freeze because deserts get cold at night time and a few days without sun will most likely kill us. If the lack of water and food doesn't. That’s if I put up with you that long.” I say, clenching my jaw.

“Why you little-.” Johns says starting to stand up.

“Okay enough.” Carolyn says stepping in the middle of the room blocking our line of sight from each other.

“I’m sure somebody else said the same thing, locked inside that coring room.”

“We need to think about everybody now. Especially the kid.” He says pointing at all of us.

“How scared is this poor boy gonna be out there in the dark.”

“Oh don’t you bring him into this.” I say, clenching my jaw and standing up.

“Yeah, don't use him like that.” Carolyn says.

“Like what?” Johns asks, looking disgusted.

“As a smoke screen.” Carolyn says at the same time I speak.

“As a shield.”

“You deal with your own fear.”

“Yeah it’s okay to be scared Johns.”

“Why don’t you shut your fucking mouth for two seconds and let me come up with a plan that dosn’t involve mass suicide.”

“You came up with one. It's sitting here waiting for the lights to go out so those things can eat us.” I say, the sounds of the creatures outside whaling making me take a breath.

Them clearly hearing us.

Breathing the breath out slowly I move to sit back next to Jack, wrapping my arm around her.

“I’m waiting.” Carolyn says, making me smirk.

I may have to change my mind about her after all.

“How much you weigh Johns?”

“What’s it matter Carolyn?”

“How much?” She snaps back.

“Around seventy nine kilos.”

“Because you’re seventy nine kilos of gutless white meat.”

“And that’s why you can’t think of a better plan and you want to use Jack as an excuse.” I say joining in.

“Is that fucking right?” He says jumping up, snatching his gun out as he does.

I don’t flinch.

I watch Riddick stand up stepping in front of him, blocking him from getting to any of us.

“Where are you going?” Johns asks, pressing the barrel of the gun into RIddick’s chin.

I have to stop myself from standing up. The anger I have towards Johns is starting to get to its boiling point. I wanted to hurt him but that would help any of us get out of this.

“This solves nothing.” Imam says, as if he was reading my thoughts.

I watch Riddick smirk, him lifting his goggles and looking over at Johns as the sound of tapping fills the air.

My eyes dropped to the sound seeing a homemade blade right on John’s crotch.

“Okay.” Johns says taking a step and sitting back down.

I couldn’t tell if he was smirking or giving him a fake smile. The look on Johns face creeping me out either way.

My head snaps to the right when Carolyn moves to crouch next to me and Jack.

“They’re afraid of our light. That means we don’t have to be so afraid of them.” She says calmly. Her eyes lifted up to meet mine.

I smile at her then down at Jack.

“You know I will make sure you are safe.” I say, rubbing her back. Jack nods, looking nervous but less scared.

“And you are sure you can get us there? Even in the dark?” Iman asks, looking over at us.

“No I can’t.” She says standing up.

“But he can.” She says looking over at Riddick.

I look up at him, his goggles still off him turning to look over his shoulder at her, the light hitting his face just right to show the silver shine in his eyes.

“That’s the smartest thing you said all day.” I say looking up at her.

She nods and bends down picking up the torch.

“Come on, I have an idea.”

Carolyn leads us back to the entrance of the ship. She uses the torch to shine under the ship in case there are any creatures hiding.

Sticking close together everyone starts to head out following her.

I’m stopped when a large hand grabs my wrist. Looking up over my shoulder I meet the face of Riddick.

Us being swallowed by darkness as the others leave out ahead of us.

“You know not everyone is gonna make it out of here.” He says, his low rubbing voice settling around me. It almost reminds me of the way a cat purrs. Something animal about it.

“Then let's make sure you, me, and Jack are on the list of the ones that do.”

“Is that all you care about?” He asks, sounding like a loaded question which I was trying not to read into.

“Honestly? Yes.”

He smirks, letting go of my wrist and heading towards the door. I stay close to him. The group of us stayed quiet as we walked outside up to the other side of the crashed ship.

“Riddick.” Carolyn whispers it is too risky for us to keep moving forward.

Riddick slides past me, his hand brushing my lower back as he does. I’m shocked by the shiver it shoots up my spine.

He walks to the front of the group, slipping his goggles up to look inside.

“Looks clear.” He calls back.

Johns pushes past me practically shoving me over as he sneaks up next to Riddick, gun in hand. Him having a light on the end of it.

I have to bite my lip to keep from snatching it out of his hand and beating him with it. Thoughts of stabbing him in his sleep enter my mind.

As soon as Johns light shines into the ship a monster comes jumping out towards them screeching.

Riddick drops to the ground, out of the way while Johns jumps to the right landing on his back.

The creature flies over our head away from the light. All of us ducking down. Jack’s grip on my hand tightening.

“You said"clear "." Johns says looking up at Riddick him slightly down a slope.

“I said it looks clear.” Riddick says back, making me smile at the sass.

“Well what’s it look like now?” He asks.

Riddick raises his head taking a quick glance before turning to look back shrugging.

“Looks clear.” He says, making me snort a giggle.

Everyone turned to look at me in a shocked horror.

“I’m sorry that wasn’t meant to be funny, I know.” I say, as Riddick and Johns get up.

Johns casually walked into the ship, everyone following behind. Jack rushed ahead to stay close to Carolyn’s light.

Riddick doesn't move until I reach his side.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to laugh. I think the exhaustion is finally catching up to me.” I say, feeling heat rise up my cheeks.

Riddick doesn't answer him, lifting a hand to grab my chin. I don’t speak as he moves my head to the left and the right, most likely looking at the bruises there.

Taking a shaky breath I let it out as his touch fell from my face, my skin almost burning from where he touched it.

“I thought I smelt blood.” He says, I almost feel like more to himself than me. But he didn’t seem like the type to talk to himself.

“Is my lip bleeding?” I question reaching up to touch my lip.

“Must have been something else.” He says, turning towards the ship, the clicking sound of the creatures starting to grow louder.

“We need to leave.” He says.

I nod following him into the ship.
