A/N I don't own any of the characters you recognize they belong to Joss Whedon please R and R and I'll do the same for you this is only my second fanfiction story and to those who have read Buffy and Angel soulmates? I will be updating very soon on that story too.

What if Russel Winters wasn't a vampire but a powerful Chaos Demon and what if when Angel was warned that if he messed with Russel Winters that Russel would hunt down and kill everyone Angel ever cared about well what if after Angel saved Cordelia from Russel he hadn't found and killed Russel and Russel went after the person Angel cared for most?

Angel was growing frustrated Russel wasn't proving to be easy to find like he thought he would be and having to have Cordelia stay with him so she'd be safe was wearing Angels patience down to its limit there had been no solid leads to his whereabouts they had no way of finding him before he found them and he couldn't hide Cordelia from him forever but he had no idea that Cordelia wasn't his only problem. If Angel had only known had only thought it a possibility Russel knew his name knew his reputation knew his enemies and through them knew his weakness did not lie with Cordelia but with someone more than human someone who according to rumor resided in Sunnydale on the hellmouth.

Meanwhile in a large mansion on the outskirts of L.A Russel Winters sat listening to Lindsay a lawyer from Wolfram and Hart fill him on Angels background and on people he and this slayer he had heard Angel had been an ''item'' with had dealt with '' uhh Mr winters we have a informant that claims to have dealt with Angel and his slayer before he claims to know for sure whether they were as the rumors suggest an item'' '' alright send him in I'll see him in the library meanwhile keep up the search for his headquarters'' drawled Russel dismissively '' and Lindsay?'' he said suddenly '' yes sir'' '' this better not be another useless informant who's only information is what hes heard in rumors '' warned Russel Lindsay met his gaze and paled as he saw the promise of a painful demise

Ethan Rayne was nervous he knew how dangerous dealing with Chaos demons could be especially with ones as powerful as Russel was he heard the door open and the demon in question walked in '' your the informant'' questioned Russel '' yes I heard you were offering a great deal of magical merchandise to anyone who could give you first hand information on both the vampire with a soul Angel and a slayer?''said Ethan with a smirk '' yes what do you know about him'' said Russel taking a seat behind a large mahogany desk '' well to be truthful not a lot about the vampire himself my knowledge is of the slayer'' '' then the reward will be lowered as I want information on not just the slayer herself but also on the relationship they shared if they were only friends then she is of no use to me shes just one to kill off as a message to him'' growled Russel '' well thats good because I saw how they were together they were much more than friends'' grinned Ethan '' so you do have information I can use well sit down and we'll do business'' chuckled Russel .

Any thoughts on how this story could be improved are welcome and if you have any idea's for what could happen is greatly appreciated.
