He froze as he hear a noise to his left. Silently he crept through the fog until another black shape, this one standing and wearing a long black coat, emerged through the fog. As he got closer, Xander saw that the figure was looking away from him, he has the element of surprise, but as he crept nearer the figure turned round and the fog between them disappeared.
Xander faced the figure, his stake held out in front of him. Angelus stared back, an insolent grin on his face which had twisted into its demonic visage. His mouth was covered in blood, the blood of his friend. Xander stepped closer to the vampire, a grim look on his face.
"How could you?" he asked. "She loved you and risked her life for you and this is how you repay her?"
Angelus licked his lips and tasted the blood that still covered them. He smiled again. "She deserved it. She was the first person to make me feel human." He looked Xander up and down, ignoring the stake that he clutched. "Look at you, the big Hero," he sneered, then abruptly he chuckled at a private thought.
"Why shouldn't I kill you now?" Xander hissed.
"What? And finish the job your Beloved Slayer couldn't finish? I'd like to see you try." Angelus laughed and bared his long, sharp teeth.
"But we are on more even terms, Angelus." He said the vampire's name with such contempt and vemon even he was surprised.
"What terms are they?" Angelus raised an eyebrow.
"Let's see, dead-boy. I hate you, you hate me and neither of us have any quams about killing each other." Xander gripped the stake in his hand tightly, the only remaining grip he had on reality. A small part of his brain was screaming at him to run, run and keep running until he was a thousand miles away from one of the most dangerous vampires still unstaked.
Angelus didn't reply. He just bared his teeth and made a show of licking the blood off them. "You'll never succeed," he said in a conversational tone.
Xander's eyes narrowed. "I'll succeed because I hate you, unlike my 'Beloved Slayer' I'd be very, very glad to see you dead." He lunged forward, holding the stake like a dagger and went for the vampire's posioned heart. As the stake plunged in Angelus's heart he screamed, a long bloodcurdling scream. Xander pulled the stake out and saw that it had changed into a carved, wooden cross.
Angelus sank to his knees and covered his face with his hands. Xander stood over him, puzzled why he hadn't exploded into dust. Angelus lowered his hands from his face and looked up at Xander. He deamon face had gone, replaced by his more familiar one, two tears ran down his face.
"I killed her!" Angel whispered, angusihed. "I let her die!"
"You 'didn't let her die', little reflect-me-not," Xander hissed. "You murdered her and drained her dry."
"I'm sorry," Angel whispered. "Please forgive me for what I've done."
"I'm not the one you should be asking for forgiveness," Xander spat. "But since you killed her, you'll never get it."
"I'm sorry," he whispered, another set of tears flowing down his face. Angel let out a long, high pitched wail and exploded into dust with a long, "Noooooooooo!"
