Xander coughs, blood escaping his lips. His voice becoming deep and choked as he looks into her eyes, he reaches up wiping the tears from her face, with his hands covered in blood from the bullet wound, he streaks Lilith's face with his blood instead. She shudders, the sent of copper filling her nose.
"I always knew I'd take a bullet for you, princess." He coughs, more blood splattering onto Sanders shirt, joining the pool of blood already there, "And I knew you wouldn't take one for m...e...."
His voice trails off as his eyes loose the light inside them. He goes still completely. Lilith shakes him ever so slightly, "Xander.. Xander! NO! Stop playing around!" Her voice comes out shrill and paniced, but she smiles, like the boy is just playing a trick on her, but he doesn't respond. Xander is dead. His blue and gold eyes are empty and lifeless, Lilith holds onto him tightly as his body goes cold, slowly crying herself out of conciseness.
