Finally On the Ground – (Chapter: Under leaden skies)
The engine noises came closer and closer, rough sounds skirting around the mountains. Ashley’s head came up as she backed out of the craft rapidly. Spencer sat up, a frown on her face. As Ashley moved off down the path towards the cliff, she was vaguely aware of the blonde scrambling for her clothes.
At the bottom of the path there were some large rocks obscuring her view of the sloping ranged hill that led back to the ranch. She ducked her head around. There were two ships flying at low altitude, right towards the ranch. Footsteps echoed on the dusty path: Spencer.
“No, Spencer, no,”
The blonde thundered around the corner, only stopping when she saw the crafts.
Ashley caught up with her three metres down the hill, moving like the devil himself. She threw her whole body forward, tackling the blonde to the ground and rolling her over, down. The ships were landing down the hill.
Clamping a hand down on the mouth of the blonde who was struggling like a demon beneath her, she growled.
“Spencer, no, stay down, Spencer. Shhh, shhh.”
The girl fought and fought.
Ashley grabbed her wrists in one hand. Hauling them awkwardly to their feet Ashley kept her hand clamped over Spencer’s mouth and let go of her wrists. Avoiding the flailing fists that tried to hit her, Ashley dragged them back up the hill to her ship and then threw herself back on Spencer,
“No I have to go, I have to,” the blonde was sobbing.
“Spencer, no, it’s too late.”
“They’re down there, my family, are down there,”
“I know, I know.”
She lay herself full length on top of the blonde, in the dirt under her ship. Her hand crept over Spencer’s mouth gently,
“We have to be quiet,” she whispered, trying not to cry. Spencer’s eyes were streaming, and Ashley knew why. They both knew why.
Those ships, those awful, awful ships.
Reavers.
She lay on top of Spencer until the blonde stopped fighting, and even then she didn’t move. There was no point, because she wouldn’t let Spencer go. Not to her death.

It’s really bothering me that I can’t remember who said “Reavers: They’d rape you, skin you and murder you. Not necessarily in that order. ” I’m thinking it was Jayne…am I right? hah. Annyyways. Nice update :) I was waiting for it for a while, but I’m glad you at least were working on The Ground Beneath Her Feet.And Reavers always did creep me out. Udlagdf. WHy are they still around, anyway?? Didn’t River kick some serious ass with them at the end of Serenity?
