She was caged in a place that wasn't her own. A precious commodity imprisoned on a half-life world by a psychotic dictator. He was running from his own demons. Running from both the living and the dead. Maybe together, they could find what they were looking for. Rated M for eventual violence, language, etc.

"You know what is expected of you?" Jeanine says in hushed tones. While someone else might have leapt for joy that Jeanine Matthews deigned to speak in their general direction, I do not.

"She knows you're watching, she can feel you out there."... What if River and Riddick shared a bond? That even though they had never met, they were somehow connected, and could see glimpses of each other? Set after Chronicles of Riddick in the Riddick (film) timeframe/ Firefly (tv show) timeframe. Rated M for later chapters.
