whether or not Aleu would indeed be the new leader which would guide them a new bountiful land. As he looked in the distance he suddenly felt a cold shiver which instantly made him turn around expecting someone to be there, but there was no one. Laughing at his stupidty he turned back around where in the corner of his eye he saw a silver cloud dance over the water in front of him. Looking up into the sky thinking it was a reflection he was shocked to see that there were no clouds in the sky. Moving closer to the water he looked down at his reflection until the silver cloud came back dancing over his reflection; he must be going crazy! Niju said to himself himself, but he still couldn’t look away. The silver cloud suddenly began to form an image and when it had finished he saw Aniu in the water looking straight back at him, gasping in shock Niju looked away and stepped back away from the water.

‘Niju…’ Came a ghostly voice and Niju continued to back away from the water shaking his head, he really was going crazy. Spinning around he suddenly stopped in his tracks when the beautiful Aniu stood there looking at him, taking a few steps back Niju was at a loss for words.

‘Aniu…this…I must be dreaming.’ Niju mumbled looking for words.

‘Riddick comes soon.’ Aniu whispered.

‘I know!’ Niju frowned.

'You must stop him, if you don’t stop him he will only grow stronger.’

‘What are you saying? Are you saying I must hurt my only son? Because I can’t do that!” Niju said loudly. ‘He’s my son I wouldn’t do anything to hurt him, I just want him to forgive me so we cna live happily again…’

‘Many have already been killed, and if you let him loose only more will suffer the same fate…’ Aniu said as Niju turned around.

‘I can’t…’ When Niju didn’t hear a reply he turned back around looking directly into the eyes of Blaine who was staring at him. ‘You.’ Niju frowned. ‘I thought you would have been killed especially since you failed to kill me before.’ Niju laughed.

‘Riddick has more important matters to deal with…’ Niju instantly thought of Sable and the pack. ‘…you need not worry about the pack of rebels that all surrendered peacefully and are being taken back to Riddick’s land.’

‘I suppose you’re here the kill me?’

‘No Riddick wants to see you; I think he wants to have the honor all to himself.’ Blaine looked down at the ground for a moment, ‘Will you come peacefully?’ Blaine asked.

‘Yes…’ Niju sighed following after Blaine knowing there was no point in running, he had to face his son eventually and without him the entire plan he had made would fall apart and as for Aniu said he knew that she was wrong, he couldn’t possibly do as she asked, he couldn’t hurt his son no matter who or what he had become.




‘Niju I thought you were dead!’ Sable said running up to Niju as Blaine lead him into a clearing where all the other captured wolves all stood silently looking at the ground.

‘Was anyone injured?’ Niju said looking past her to makes sure that everyone was alright.

‘No we’re all fine, however all the other wolves here are scared out of their mind, they don’t speak and do nothing unless they’re told to.’

‘All of you shut up!’ Blaine ordered as shadowy figure appeared out the darkness and that was when Niju knew that this was it.

‘I’m so happy you’ve joined me and my perfect pack.’ Riddick cooed stepping out of the shadows and looking directly at Niju. ‘Especially my very own father.’ Riddick smirked walking towards Niju.

‘You can’t be…’ Sable muttered stepping away from Niju who didn’t look at her as he hung his head low.

‘You haven’t told you’re friends?” Riddick laughed. ‘Yes everyone, this is my father! The very wolf who turned me into what I am today, I must thank him because without him I wouldn’t be here.’ Riddick teased standing right in front of Niju who looked back up at him. ‘Aren’t you going to say hello to your son?’ Riddick grinned.

‘If you’re going to kill me then just get it over with…’ Niju growled.

‘That would be no fun…’ Riddick snarled and before Niju knew it Riddick slammed his paw across Niju’s face cutting it and causing it to bleed but Niju held his ground breathing heavily as the blood dripped down his face. ‘How does it feel to be helpless?’ Riddick said stepping forward whispering menacingly into Niju’s ear causing him to shiver. ‘You hurt me…so long ago…’ Riddick said shaking his head. ‘I just wanted to be like you…’




‘Mum when is dad coming home?’ A puppy Riddick said jumping up at his mother’s legs as she stood calmly waiting for Niju to arrive.

‘Calm down.’ She laughed giving him a quick lick on his head. ‘Your father will be here soon.’ Looking up from her son she held in a sigh knowing quite well that Niju never intended to spend anytime with his son.

The day quickly went by until finally it was dark and still no Niju had appeared to spend the promised time with his son.

‘Come on lets go home…’ His mother said gently pushing Riddick who refused to move.

‘He promised.’ Riddick said holding in tears and he stared out into the darkness still expecting his father to walk through any moment with a big smile ready to have fun, ready to play.

‘It’s getting to dark and dangerous to be out here alone, we must go Riddick.’ His mother said sternly looking down at her pup who shook his head and stood back up.

‘No…’ Riddick said, ‘He’s coming for me!’ Riddick yelled running away from his mother into the forest. 'He promised!'

‘Riddick come back!’ His mother screamed running after him.

Ignoring his mother Riddick kept running and running hoping to find his father but because he was so young he took no notice of the creatures around him and suddenly he ran straight into a huge bear who was hungry and angry. Stopping in his tracks he looked straight up at the bear its eyes staring straight back down at him. To scared to move Riddick just stood their petrified as the bear raised its paw…’Riddick run.’ His mother screamed, snapping out of his fear Riddick turned to run but the bear managed to just clip him on the side of his face causing him to yell in pain as the bear claw cut a deep gash in his face just missing his eye.

Almost blinded Riddick could hardly see what was going on, all he could here and see were blurred images of the bear and his mother. ‘Mum, I’m scared…’ Riddick wept trying to understand what was happening or what was going on around him….all he knew was that his mother wasn’t answering him…where was she? ‘MUM?!’

Riddick was shaking as he stepped back away from Niju, ‘When you arrived it was to late, I saw the result of what you had done….IT WAS YOUR FAULT!’ Riddick yelled turning around breathing heavily as though he had just relieved the exact moment. ‘After that when you LEFT me I decided to create this pack, a pack were no one is left behind, everyone pulls their weight, we look after each other…and I made myself Alpha because I knew I could be better than you ever could have been. I have become everything you wanted, to be a leader, to be a good leader, to not depend on others for what I want, aren't you proud of me?’ Riddick said turning to Niju who looked away from the monster he’d created. ‘AREN’T YOU PROUD OF ME?!’ Riddick yelled looking at his father who still refused to say anything. Calming down a little Riddick continued, ‘At day break you will be killed enjoy the night father…’ With that Riddick spun around and walked away quickly followed by Blaine.

Looking after him Niju turned around to all the captured wolves who were all frowning at him but refused to say anything.

‘I trusted you.’ Sable said looking up at Niju who remained quiet. ‘Don’t you have anything to say?’ She continued and when Niju said nothing she turned and walked away. Niju looked over at Slate who hung his ehad low before walking over and sitting down beside his mother.

Not looking after her Niju laid down on the ground but he wasn’t thinking about the plan they had formed he was thinking about what Aniu said, if he didn’t do anything he would be killed but if he did he would be hurting his own son something he could never do.

‘Niju?’ Kael said walking up to him. ‘I…from that display I think its obvious that you had nothing to do with us getting captured.’

‘At least someone here has a brain.’ Niju mumbled.

‘I think we should go ahead with the plan…’ Kael said in a whisper so that the guards all around could not here them.

‘I’m not going to harm my son.’ Niju said sitting up and looking at Kael.

‘I understand that’s why I will kill him all you have to do is stop everyone else, get Blaine and his minions out of the way.’ Kael smirked.

‘These wolves aren’t going to fight.’ Niju said turning to look at all the petfried wolves around them. ‘They’re scared of Riddick and of me, they won’t risk their lives for freedom.’

‘I will.’

‘Then you will die.’ Niju frowned.

‘No, you’re the one whos going to die tomorrow if you sit here and do nothing at least if you help me we might have a chance, to save yourself, to save Sable and all the wolves here and perhaps you can save your son from himself?’

‘It’s to late, just leave me in peace for my last few hours…’ Niju said turning back around and lying on the ground. For a moment Kael stood there looking at him before slowly walking away looking disappointed.




‘He’s so beautiful…’ Niju said smiling at his mate as she gently licked the tiny pup beside her. ‘We’ve been blessed.’

‘He looks just like you.’ His mate said softly.

‘You will make’s a great mother.’'

‘And you I will make a great father to our little Riddick.’

A few months later….
‘Niju come play with your son he’s starting to run and he won’t stop’ His mate laughed looking at Riddick who was playing with a leaf on the ground.

‘I can’t! I need to work on this plan I think it will work.’ Niju said pacing from side to side not noticing Riddick walk up beside him holding the lead proudly in his mouth.

‘D-dad look!’ Riddick said with the leaf in his mouth.

‘Oh I know!’ Niju said quickly running away from Riddick who watched after his father but he wasn’t saddened, he
