Before she can even begin to process what that means, he's attacking, and her mind is fully on the fight. She'd been expecting the blows, and she wards off the punches easily enough, but the distraction works as well as he'd hoped. The first knee to her side isn't enough to bring her down, but it hurts like hell, and the second is worse.
She curls instinctively, drawing in on the pain, and it switches something in her mind. She might not be trapped, but she knows what losing feels like...and losing to a vamp-
She didn't want to die.
She might have gone to Angel looking for an escape, but she'd moved past that. She'd made her choice to do it the hard way, crap and all, and damn it...she wasn't about to quit now.
