“Moira…I…can’t.” He stuttered and looked down at the small girl. How could he save her? He was just a man…he was just some random guy who got lucky.

“But you-you’re Batman…” The girl said softly and Andy knew that they were losing her in that moment.

“Honey…I…let me go get Dess.” Andy said as he left the room and returned quickly with Odessa behind him.


The couple sat down, Dess on the bed next to Moira and Andy sat beside her in a hard backed chair. Odessa looked down at her sister and knew that the time was coming quickly where they would have to say their goodbyes. She looked out the window and saw that the sun was fading below the tree line. Where was her mother? She should be here for this and Odessa felt her heart sink at the thought of their mother not being here.


“Dess…Dragonfly…please make Andy save me…he has to.” Moira reached out, her fingers clutching at Odessa’s arm. Dess couldn’t say anything, she couldn’t even move.

“Remember? Remember he saved Brady that night? Remember he saved her from dying?” The small girl asked, her eyes big and darting around the room.

“Yes Moira…I remember how he saved Brady from killing herself.” Odessa looked to Andy, his eyes were wide at this news and she felt her heart go out to him.

“He has to save me!” Moira was trying to sit up, but thankfully Andy was able to place a hand on her shoulder to keep her against the bed.

“Moira…calm down.” Dess said, her hand coming to rest on top of her sister’s and she felt the girl shaking.

“…Dess…” The girl sighed softly and Odessa noticed the Moira’s eyes were not focused on the two people in the room, but on a corner towards the opposite side of the room.

“Dess…dad’s here.” Odessa felt her eyes open widely as she glanced in the direction that Moira’s eyes were looking in.

“He-he’s here?” She asked as Moira just nodded.

“Yeah. He looks great Dess. He says he’s really proud of you…” Moira giggled and nodded her head and Odessa just looked at Andy. Both of them had no idea what to do at this point.

“He also wanted me to warn you Andy…he’s been watching over you and he likes you, but he says to be good to Dragonfly or he’ll come find you. He’s so silly.” Moira’s eyes were manic and wild and Andy pulled Odessa closer to his body as he looked back over at the corner.

“Dess…dad says that they have really great music where we’re going and he says I’ll see a lot of my favorite musicians there too…” Dess felt herself break down, she didn’t know what to make of everything that was happening.

“Dess?” Moira finally looked back over at her sister and Odessa nodded silently.

“I love you…remember how much I love you.” The younger girl said softly as Odessa cried out.

“I love you too Monkey…always. I will always love you.” She reached down, her lips touching their clasped hands softly.

“Andy…I don’t love you in the same way, but thank you for everything…”Moira looked over at Andy and he felt his heart stop. Her eyes were not sad anymore, they held a bravery in them that he had never seen before.

“No problem kid. You know I love you too…you’ll always be the little sister that I always wanted…” He smiled and she laughed at him softly.

“Just what every girl wants to hear on her death bed-that the incredibly hot guy in the room loves her like a little sister…” She sighed, her mouth forming into a soft smile.

They were all silent for a moment until finally Dess felt Moira squeeze her hand lightly.

“Dess…the light…Dad says it’s time to go…I-I love you Dragonfly…be safe…” Moira’s voice was weak as she looked over at her sister.

The small girl took in a deep breath and a smile formed on her face as Moira Elizabeth Montgomery faded into the night.


“No! Moira!” Odessa felt her hands clasping at her sister’s shoulder and she shook her softly.

“Babe…” Andy reached out to her but Dess brushed him off.

“Moira?! No! Please…please come back to me…I don’t know how to live without you…” She cried, her head coming to rest on her sister’s still body.

“You can’t go…you can’t not be here anymore…” She sobbed, her shoulders shaking and Andy just laid his head against her back, his own tears rolling silently down his cheeks as they came to land on her thin t-shirt.

“Moira…” Odessa moaned and Andy reached out to her, trying to pull her to him but Odessa growled lowly at him.

“Babe…babe we have to call someone…” He said softly as he reached for his cell phone. He never left her side as he made the hardest call he had ever had to make.


Odessa laid there, her head resting against Moira’s now still chest as she cried softly, her fingers griping at the loose shirt that laid limply on her sister’s body. Oh God…she couldn’t think of Moira that way. Dess cried, harder now and she felt Andy leave her side and even heard him talking to someone, but she didn’t care. Her fingers reached up, the tips of them brushing over Moira’s soft eyelashes and Dess felt like breaking. Things weren’t supposed to happen this way…sixteen year olds weren’t supposed to die like this.


“Odessa…you have to move…the paramedics are here for Moira.” Odessa heard his voice, but she ignored Andy and her grip on her younger sister only strengthened.

“Babe…come here.” He placed his hands on her shoulders, pulling her softly but Dess wasn’t budging.

“No…I can’t leave her alone.” She cried softly and all of a sudden she felt herself being lifted and slung over Andy’s shoulder. She kicked, screamed and she even bit him as he carried her away and all Dess could see were three grown men walking into her sister’s room and shutting the door.


Finally Andy let her down and Odessa collapsed into a heap on the bed she’d had since she was a teenager. She felt his hands rubbing her back soothingly, but all Dess wanted to do was kick at him for breaking her away from Moira. She had to be there. Quickly Odessa moved towards the door, but Andy was quicker and grabbing her around the middle he brought her down into his lap.


“Stay here baby. You don’t want to see what’s going on right now.” Andy whispered into her ear and Odessa could tell that he was crying by the way his voice sounded.

“She’s all alone Andy! I promised her I wouldn’t let her be alone!” She shouted, her fingers digging into his arm but Andy held his ground. He didn’t care if she wanted to hurt him, as long as she didn’t hurt herself.

“It’s okay Dess…” He kissed her temple softly and finally she relaxed against him.


A soft wailing could be heard from out in the hallway, but Andy remained where he was. Dess couldn’t see what was happening…it was bad enough that she had been there when Moira finally passed. Andy sighed, his tears all dried up and as he kissed her head softly, he wasn’t sure if Odessa would ever be the same.
