"Nyergh..." Willow groaned as she entered the mall on Angelus' arm. She quickly brought up one  arm to shield her eyes. "This place is so bright," she moaned, leaning into Angelus.

Angelus stroked her hair reassuringly. "Don't worry, luv, we can kill the lights technician." He glanced  around, looking for dinner. "But first, dinner. What would you like to eat?"

Willow picked her head up from Angelus' shoulder and looked around the mall. One by one she  watched the customers walk by, like a kid in a candy store. Then Willow spotted the one she  wanted. "Her," she said, pointing with her pinky finger.

Following her finger, Angelus looked across the mall and smiled evilly. "Harmony..." he growled  under his breath, and unhooked himself from Willow. "You wait here, pet," he said eagerly, "and I'll  get us some easy takeout."

Willow watched as her escort strode across the hall, heading straight towards the blonde with the  bushy eyebrows. She never did like Harmony's face...and the more she thought about it, the more  she realized that she'd like it better slashed open and bleeding. She smiled, and licked her lips hungrily.

"...so then I said, like, listen, if you're gonna take me out, you have to take me to, like, Chez Pierre's.  Anywhere cheaper would, like, ruin my rep, you know? And he, like, said that he only had, like, five  bucks for dinner, and was, like, planning on, like, getting Happy Meals at McDonalds. So I said,  like, yeah right, and vowed to myself, like, not to call him, like, for at least a day, until, like, he finally  got some taste! I mean, like, come on..."

Harmony was babbling to the former Cordettes, telling about one of her former 'conquests'. Angelus  watched the group with a smirk on his face, and walked up behind the girl quietly.

The Cordettes watched him as he leaned close to her, whispering in her ear. "Leave these losers...I  have a much better time planned for you...if you want to come and get it." His voice was low and  husky, and he knew that a girl like Harmony would sell her soul to follow him...which she basically  was going to do.

Harmony's head flew around, looking at Angelus wide-eyed. Then, changing her expression, she shot  him a coy look. "Sounds like fun..." Turning to her friends, she excused herself. "Lori, Carrie, Beth,  sorry, gotta run. See you guys." She turned and followed the retreating Angelus.

The Cordettes watched Angelus walk down the hall. "Damn," Lori said, turning to the other two,  "that man has one hell of an ass."

Carrie and Beth nodded in agreement.

“Well, if it isn’t the little nerd.”

Willow smiled at the bleached blonde girl. Her first kill was going to be fun. She walked up to  Harmony slowly, deliberately putting a seductive swing in her hips. A smirk grew on her lips as she  watched Harmony’s jaw drop to the floor.

“Little nerd?” Willow cooed into Harmony’s face, “oh, I am soooo hurt…” She lingered by the  blonde, then walked over to Angelus, who wrapped his arms around her. Willow draped herself over  him, lifting one leg to rub his thigh. “I don’t like girls who go after my man,” she growled to Harmony  over Angelus’ shoulder.

A look of disgust immediately plastered itself on Harmony’s face. Willow, with this hunk?  Impossible. He had brought her to the alley to make out. What else would they need the dark for?  “You little mouse, you could never be enough for him. Who would ever want you?” she sneered.

Angelus’ eyes lit up as his face shifted. “I want her…” he growled, letting Willow go and advancing  on Harmony.

Panic hit her as Harmony realized that the man was not human. She tried to run from the alley, but  she was stuck like a deer in headlights. Her screams were choking past her lips bit by bit, and she  seemed to be making little mouse sounds.

“Angelus, no,” Willow said firmly. Angelus turned to catch her eye, which demanded that he stop. So  instead, he rushed around Harmony and grabbed her, trapping her inplace.

Willow walked up to Harmony again, looking her over appraisingly. “Perfect,” she hissed, and  slipped into game face. “I want my first meal to be a memorable one.”

Harmony was about to scream when Willow lunged for her neck. Two sharp pains pierced through her consciousness, and she had the strange feeling of being emptied somehow.

The bloodstained body fell to the street with a thud. Licking her lips, Willow stepped up to Angelus.  “My, that was fun,” she said, looking back at Harmony’s lifeless body. “Good blood…rich…”

Angelus drew her close, his hands roaming her body, learning its curves. “We have an entire night  and mall to take our pickings, Red…let’s not waste it.” Hand in hand, they strolled back into the  brightly lit food court.
