His concern was so great for her that she would have believed any word he said, even if he said he was the Devil's spawn out to get her. Infatuation was a dangerous game. His wings wrapped around her, the sunshine shining in a direct spotlight onto them, warming her skin.  Much to the imagination of mortals, vampires were able to go out in the day. Their powers were significantly weaker, but they would not fry. Only a beheading or stake through the heart would kill a vampire, and she had been very lucky to not have to deal with that. She relaxed against him, a wave of happiness and pleasure washing over her gently, his words only deepening the emotions. "I understand. It is unfortunate that I cannot cry at this moment, for I have spent the past two centuries crying and it has gotten me no where. I will have time to cry after he is gone, Mike. I trust you to help me through this."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Mike smiled at her strength, but was shocked by her words.<strong>"I'm going to make that bastard pay for every one of your tears.  I guarantee it."</strong>With a flurry of feathers, he whipped his wings back to their normal position and turned to Cat.<strong>"There's one way up to Heaven, and that's on the wings of an angel.  My wings are plenty strong to carry us both, but I won't be ridden like a beast of burden.  That means, erm, you'll have to...ah..."</strong>He reached out both of his arms in a hugging manner.<strong>"You're gonna need to hold on tight."</strong>He felt Cat's arms, warmed by the sun, slide under his and curl behind his back.  Goosebumps popped up on his flesh, and he hoped beyond everything else she couldn't feel them.  He was<em>incredibly</em>grateful that angels were the only race blessed with the ability to read auras.<strong>"Erm, alright, cool, yeah.  Alright, so, here we go."</strong>With that final awkward utterance, he launched both of them into the air, and in a matter of minutes, they were in Heaven.  Seeing Cat's confused face at only having flown for 10 minutes, he started to explain.<strong>"You see, Heaven originally used to be above the Earth.  However, once humans developed such a burning curiosity for seeing outside of their world, He had to transition Heaven into a different dimension; one parallel to the one we reside in."</strong>He looped his arm around Cat's, and they strode towards the giant golden gate ahead of them.  There, standing there, was a hulking figure of a man.<strong>"Hey Dad..."</strong>Mike's father held up his behemoth of a hand to silence his child, and then said in his booming voice,<strong>"Come, child of the night.  We are going to go into my office to discuss the matter of your....target.  Come alone, I wish not to mix family and business."</strong>He turned, and started taking massive steps towards his heavenly office.<strong>"See ya, Cat...let me know everything when you get back, ok?  I'll wait right here...we're still in this together, don't think you can get rid of me that easily!"</strong>He waved goodbye to Cat and watched her disappear into the room.  He let out a giant sigh. He couldn't get the feel of her against him as they were flying.  He closed his eyes, and the next thing he knew he was being awoken by Cat; he had no idea how much time had passed.
