"Not in the time that I've been here, but who knows before that?" She at least hadn't experienced the growing from the skin thing and she was pretty glad she missed those. "I guess I'm not shocked anymore when these things happen. I just assume that blood will show up every month in form or another."

Which, weird, but that seems to be a theme here.

"If you're prepared for the unexpected, you're not so much caught off guard." Which is a good philosophy in theory, but how often had she been surprised regardless? There were too many strange things, even for a Sunnydale girl.
