Ashley gasped at her own actions, a ripple of unease tearing through her She'd never killed anyone and yet, she'd just plunged a knife through soht

She released the hilt, her eyes flying up to Jonny's face

"I'riripped the hilt of her knife "But you're gonna have to do better than that" He pulled it free

Xander wasn't joking about not being able to kill hi about the alleged godslayer it took to kill Jonny in order to dissuade her The sound of her knife hitting the tile floor startled her out of her disbelief

She shivered

"I warned you," he repeated "What made you come here?"
