Alexander 'Xander' Lavelle Harris, teenager, friend, protector and saviour of the world (with a little help from his friends, specifically Buffy) was having a bad day and what looked to turn into an even worse night.
This morning, the seizures of his childhood, a dim memory at best, had returned full force and then some. After the first seizure which not even Willow knew about, everything had gone crazy. Firstly his sight had blurred, for one horror stricken moment he had thought he had lost his sight but when his eyes cleared he realised that he could see even better that before.
Following this his body had start ache and burn all over. The heat had spread from his eyes and had seeped into other parts of him. He felt like every part of him was on fire and as the day progressed these feelings only got worse and worse.
This brought him to his current predicament. The entire Scooby gang had turned out for tonight's patrol. He really didn't feel up to the task though. As the group walked through the current graveyard, Xander noticed that where earlier his sense had got sharper, they were now getting duller and duller and he found it getting harder to think.
Xander looked up through blurry eyes at Willow who it turned out had been talking to him for the past 10 minutes.
"Xander! - Xander, what on earths wrong with you, usually by now you've cracked at least 10 tasteless jokes," Willow frowned and took a closer look at her childhood friend. "You're ill aren't you! What are you doing out here if you're ill," she drew in a breath to continue her verbal barrage but as she did so the sounds of a fight reached them and on the nights wind came the familiar voice.
"Would you please hurry up?, I do have other stuff to do you know."
Xander broke into a run with Willow trailing behind, never realising that he was running faster that before.
He and Willow arrived on the scene of the fight see Buffy take out the last vampire. She turned to smile at her relived friends, only to see the relived look turn to one of horror as they stared behind her. She had half turned to see what had so scared her friends, she caught a glimpse of something black and scaly before she was knocked to the ground, landing with a couple of broken ribs as a consolation prize. As she attempted to recover from the injury, the thing decided that now was the time to finish her off and ignoring her friends. A foolish mistake. Xander dove at the creature, somehow knocking back and holding off the creature until Buffy shoved a stake through it's heart.
Xander turned to her with a goofy grin and unfocused eyes and tried to say,
"That went we--" he didn't finish as he collapsed to the ground.
