This is for my friend Danielle. She loves Tiny for some reason and I like Otis so this is a one shot that has her and Avery in it.
"No, please don't!" A girl at the age of no more than fifteen yelled. She ran after the car trying to catch up and get the last of her small and living family back. But then a pair of small and comforting arms entrapped her and she could get no further. "No!" She cried but the car kept going, driving further and further away from her yet closer and closer to their death. "Let me go mother!" Her voice sobbed. And the arms encircling her tightened. The girl looked up at the woman and her white bangs fell from in front of her eyes to show brown eyes that looked just like her fathers. Her hair was up in a way that seemed to defy gravity. She was the same height as the woman holding her, that was the only trait she seemed to get from her mothers side.
Her mother was only four feet and eleven inches her hair was orange and her mismatched eyes were green and blue. "Alice, it's too late he's made his mind up." And Alice could hear the strain in her mother voice. "There is nothing we can do no except pray. And there is no god to hear us, only a devil." And Alice's mother held her close. "Danielle." The woman of thirty called. And a woman only around twenty came along with a giant for a man. "I think it's time me and Alice make our way home. We'll see you soon." The lies were being laid on thickly today. The three that had left saying that they were fine and that they would return. Danielle replying that her and Tiny would be fine and that they will raise the baby growing in Danielle's womb. And now Alice's mother way lying. She had told Otis, Alice's father, that she had only been sick not pregnant before he left. And now she told Danielle that they would see her soon. The lies were easily seen but purposely over looked because no matter what the outcome would be the same, five out of the living seven would be dying soon.
Mama, or Mother Firefly, had been killed by the cop Tiny had killed not long ago. RJ had been long dead from bullet fire on the first shoot out. Then Captain Spaulding, Baby, and Otis had driven off to certain death. Alice knew that Tiny and Danielle would go into the burning house together and die now. That meant only her mother and herself would stay alive. Two dead Firefly's plus the three driving to death and the soon the be cremated two meant that there would be seven dead soon. Five of which were still alive for days, if not hours, longer. The two woman said good by to each other then turned. Avery never looked back at Danielle as she and Tiny entered the house together. She just grabbed her daughters hand and the two started to walk. "We're never going to see any of them again, are we mama?" Alice asked.
"Of course we are love. Hell awaits all of us." And Alice knew what her mother meant. She understood why everyone was doing what they were. There is no Firefly family without everyone. And so they too would be joining their brethren and loves in a bit. The only thing left for these two woman was to find a way to die. "How should it be?"
"In a hail of bullets." Alice said as she cocked her gun.
"At's our girl."
