Prologue --

I watched as the ship landed just a few miles from the village, I smiled and took another sip from my drink. The ship that landed was a FireFly, though an older version, it would make me some good money. I walked out form the tavern, loaded my gun and jumped onto my horse.

"Why are we on this rock?" A man grunted, pulling off a box from the mouth of the ship.

"Where there's work, we go." Another man said, walking out, a woman behind him.

"Capt'n, mind it if me and River go to the town?" She asked, stepping past him.

"Not here Kaylee, this place is dangerous..." The Captain turned around, "You hear me? No one is to leave the ship until this is over!"

I watched as a companion walked into site on the ship, then disappeared through a door. //Companions! Who are these people!?// I thought, lowering myself deeper into the bushes, then I cough site of a...Shepard? //My job is to do, and ask no questions!// I reassured myself.

"Jayne." The Captain yelled, stepping off. "I need you to stay with the ship." He turned back to look at the ship. "Zoe, you come with me..." The captain spoke into his communicator, "and Wash, keep Serenity off the ground until we get back."

"Right Captain." Another woman said, loading her gun and stepping off.

Jayne mumbled as he walked back on and Zoe and the captain carried the goods off. I heard as the ship started up and began to rise up to the two bright noon suns.

"Oh no you don't!" I whispered, dashing out from the bushes, putting my gun into a sheath and catching onto the ship as it rose, a knife held in my teeth. The mouth of the ship had not yet risen, and I could no longer hear the voices of the crew, so I climbed up, the hatch slamming shut behind me. Then I hear voices and snuck behind some large crates.

"Why does Mal always have to land on these god forsaken rocks where I can find no decent customers?" The companion asked Kaylee. "I haven't had a customer for nearly a month now."

"The Capt'n don't deal in legal affairs." Kaylee said, walking off with the companion.

I let out a sigh of relief, but it was too soon...CliCk...I heard the snap of a gun and the cold barrel at my neck.

"Who are you?" Jayne asked, holding the gun to my head. I put my hands up, my knife still in my hand, only for it to be swiped away from him.

"None of your business..." I said, slowly turning to look at him, and his gun.

"Oh I think it is my business..." He said, breathing heavily in my face.

I looked into his eyes. //DaMNit! Why was I so careless today?// I snapped at myself. I smiled slightly.

"And what is so funny...uh oh." Jayne said, and I kicked his gun from his hand, and retrieved my knife. I pulled my gun out and pointed it at him.

"I get to play the game now." I said, staring Jayne down with my yellow gaze.

"What are you?" He gasped; I hadn't yet noticed him slowly reaching into his pocket.

"As I said none of your..." I stopped in mid sentence and dropped the gun as the dagger pierced my shoulder.

"Got ya." Jayne laughed getting back up as I fell to the ground, grasping the blade with my hand, yet not daring to pull it out. I cringed, the pain streaking through me. //I was loosing my touch, becoming to cocky, and now today I was to die// I though to myself as I blacked out.
