((before I post, I love that mine was the last post for page 1, it was the perfect cliff hanger.... Or was it...? Heh heh heh BAM! OWW, okay okay, back to the story))

Winter Agustus~

Suddenly, but slowly Winter's hand reached up weakly and layed it limply on Riley's. Tears and blood ran down his face, mixing together and staining his bruising face, his chest spasmed and he hackEd up blood that had filled his mouth. Winter looked like a broken and beaten dog, barely clinging to life. But then he did something, something that seemed truly insane at the time, Winter smiled.

He smiled weakly to at Riley, it was unclear if it was from delirium of 'dying' or if he truly held such strong hope. He spoke softly through the pain, "You'll be okay... I pr-promise..." The gas had fully and finally taken him, and his head dropped lifelessly to the floor.

((sorry it was short, just adding a bit more dramatic tension))
