"Ikir"

Jonny couldn't place the odd note in Charles' voice, partially because he wasn't fully awake Troubled by his exchange with Ashley, he'd ended up pulling an all-nighter and wanted at least four hours of sleep before facing whatever insanity a new day brought hi" Charles was in his roon

Jonny rolled out of bed and pulled on sweatpants He wiped his face and approached Charles, about to ask rong when he felt the presence of a Natural

"Who's here?" he deilante" Charles held up his cell to display streae from the foyer

Jonny looked twice and then took the phone "What the fuck is she doing here?"

"She said she's looking for you"

He growled low in his throat Ashley appeared to be holding her own so far with the dozens of vaht before, he'd been convinced Ashley wasn't going to do anything stupid any, at his headquarters no less He had gotten good at lying Did she pick up some tell he didn't intend for her to when he claimed never to have cared that much for his first love?

"I warned her to stay away" Jonny tossed the phone back and strode out of his bedrooed on a t-shirt as he walked, furious Ashley e him so directly, in front of vamps who had already seen hi with solutions as to how to fix the probleht

He strode fro of the second floor overlooking the spacious foyer

Ashley was fighting fast and hard But her speed wasn't going to defeat two dozen va those that were down so they didn't get back up to face her again

"Stop!" he commanded

The frenzied movement beloed and then stopped Jonny waited until Ashley had lowered her weapons as well under his glare beforeto the stairs He descended with control and discipline he wanted to toss out thein order to face Ashley

"What the fuck is this?" he demanded

His vamps moved out of his path and cleared the way to Ashley The fury was back in her eyes, and he resisted the urge to either touch her or unleash his power
