The wind through the window was chilly, but not as cold as the blade against her neck. "Don't move, lady, or I slit your pretty little throat."

Buffy frowned. "Now this really isn't fair! This is a ball! I'm wearing a ballgown and everything!" She could hear the whimpers of the other ladies being held hostage by the ruffians who had appeared out of nowhere.

Grabbing his knife, she threw it unerringly at a second ruffian, catching him in his right shoulder.
