Chapter 36 He Does It Better

• I sat there in the bath for a couple of minutes, thinking deeply about how I was going to use this piece of information to my advantage. I never thought it was possible to even kill vampires until this very moment; sure, the media would make jokes about a knife to the heart being enough to take them out, but I had tried that; it was an accident, of course, and I would never have the heart to stab someone, be it a human or a vampire.
• Silas had just plucked out the vegetable knife from where it had embedded in his chest and told me to stop screaming because it was more annoying than getting stabbed. I could never get that image out of my head; most people would have filed a case against me. Even though it was an accident, I had still hurt him; if he had been human, the wound would have been fatal.
• Anyway, this just goes to prove that a knife to the chest was not enough to kill a vampire. But the branch of a mystic tree in the middle of nowhere was? If I got my hands on that, would I even be able to kill anyone?
