Klaus hurried to her side. Sunset fell onto her side, as her knees gave way. He lifted her chin with his index finger. "Look at me, Sunset!" he shouted desperately. "Look at me, stay with me!"
Sunset groaned. She reached a claw out, feeling for his face. "I'll try," she said quietly.
He took off his blazer, screwing it into a ball and pressing it over her wound, he gently moved her left claw and placed it on top of the now blood-soaked blazer.
Sunset let out a small moan. Klaus sighed. "How long can you hang on?" he asked.
"Not long," she said.
Klaus stood up. "Hold my blazer. I'll talk to my sister."
Klaus led Violet to a chair. "Vi, why?" he asked. "Tell me, why did you kill her?"
"I told you," she hissed.
Sunset let out a cry. Klaus hurried over to her.
"I can't!" she cried. "I can't hang on!"
"Sunset, breathe," he said. "Breathe."
He knelt beside her, putting her head in his lap. He stroked her wild, red-gold mane.
She smiled. "At least I got to see you... one last time." she muttered.
Her head moved to one side and was still. Her claws fell to her side.
"No..." whispered Klaus. "It can't be!"
Tears sprang from his eyes. "Sunset. Don't leave me!" he shouted. "I love you."
