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.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Catriana had never heard of such a vow taken to her before, and it warmed her to know that someone cared for her cause as much as she did. "You have no idea what those words mean to me, Mike." Mike's wings went back to their original form and she smiled up at him as he explained what would have to happen to get to Heaven. She giggled softly, never being able to find him a beast of burden, and hugged him back, feeling a little scared that he told her to hang on tight. She squeezed him, hard enough to hold on, but not hard enough to crush his ribs. She made the mistake of that several decades ago, and would always be cautious now. His nervousness and awkwardness only served to amuse Cat and she squealed softly as they launched into the air, the world below them vanishing and a new world, somehow different than she ever imagined, appeared before them. When she looked at him confusingly, he explained and it all made sense. "Aye, this is not the Heaven the Bible tells about it seems." She walked with him, perfectly content that her hand was nestled in the crook of his arm, feeling like she was back in England again on her way to a party. A very large shadow of a man appeared before them, and Mike addressed him as his father. Was this.. God? She felt as though she needed to curtsy, or shake his hand, but the large man only addressed her to come alone so they could discuss business. Cat turned to Mike for reassurance, smiling when he spoke of waiting for her. "I'll be back then, hopefully with the answers that I need."<br/><br/>She followed the massive man into his office, astonished by the sights she saw. "The Bible does not address you so accurately, sir. I was lead to believe differently. I was also lead to believe that a vampire such as myself would never get to see Heaven, being an abomination. Your son has certainly helped me in this matter... I want to thank you so much for everything. Now, please, tell me about my<em>dear</em>husband and maker. A man like him has no purpose wooing women into love and changing their lives forever."
