Angelus's revenge
Why didn't Angelus take revenge on Xander after 'Killed by Death?'
Angelus silently stalked his prey going home. He growled as he thought about how humiliated he had been backing down from Harris of all people! Not only once but twice had Harris somehow foiled him. First was that bloody spell which made Drusilla fall in love with her "kitten" not only did she stop him from killing Harris but then she moped about missing her "kitten" for the rest of the night! Then Harris managed to not only stop him from killing the slayer once but twice in one night! Angelus grinned as he vamped out thinking about his coming torture of Harris. Perhaps he should let Harris get home and then Angelus would kill his parents with Harris watching. He sniffed frowning as he realized Harris's fear was increasing as he got closer to home. He shrugged thinking it was probably just because of the neighborhood. He narrowed his eyes though when he saw (and smelled) the kids fear increase even more when he saw his dad standing, well staggering really, in the doorway. His eyes widened though when he saw the father swing a fist at the boy. "You're late again" the father shouted, Angelus scowled as he caught a whiff of booze in the air. Considering the father's staggering posture and bottle in his hand, it took no leap of logic for Angelus to figure out the origin of the scent. "I..." Xander tried to reply only to be cut off with a backhand from the father. "You think I want to hear your lame excuses you little shit? Get inside!" Angelus growled and seriously considered hitting the father who reminded him of his own. Different clothes, different father, same attitude, some things never change. Angelus shook his head as the thought went through his mind. At first he was furious that Mr Harris dared intrude on his territory but then realized that this was better than any torture he could devise. Whistling jauntily Angelus strolled away into the night ignoring the crashes and cries from the Harris house.
