Spike fell back against the wall, away from the stake.

He’d gone looking for Watchers once they got back to London. Angelus had spoken scornfully of men who never fought themselves.

Angelus had been wrong.

The man rushed forward; Spike spun, slammed him against brick, and bit down.

He’d won. Just.

Angelus’ disgusted voice hit him; he turned, and saw his sire, demon-faced and displeased.

“Still a novice at subduing easy prey, boy? You’re a disgrace to the bloodline!”

Spike scowled and said nothing. When the practice paid off – when Spike killed a Slayer – Angelus would be proud of him.

The relationship between Spike and Angelus was always an interesting one. He played the disappointed father well. I think he was just a wee bit jealous, and Spike always felt he had something to prove. Funny, in the end, Spike became the better vampire.

*grins* I'm loving the comments for this drabble, they're all so interesting!

Oh, absolutely. The fact that Spike killed a slayer on the same night Angel was cast out by Darla always struck me as an interesting choice by the writers.
