Night of Blue

Chapter 4
The figure stood up and spread his wings. They were huge, pearl white, feathery wings. The angel's eyes opened, revealing deep pools of Prussian blue. Relena gasped. Her hand clamped over her mouth. She was too scared to move.
"He...Hee...Heero?" Relena managed to stutter. The boy said nothing. He kept his eyes on Relena. Then he held out his hand.
"Come with me and I'll tell you."
"Tell me what?" Relena questioned. But Heero had already turned his back and was leaving. Relena ran after him, begging him not to leave. Suddenly Heero turned around and sprinted in her direction.
"Run away from me in that direction." He shouted. Relena stopped, confused.
'Why the other way?'
"Relena! Just run!" He sounded serious. Heero wasn't playing around. Relena shrugged off her confusion and obeyed Heero.
Suddenly a pair of strong arms grabbed her waist and lifted her into the air. Relena was about to scream, when a hand covered her mouth.
"Sssh! Don't worry. You're safe." A voice said behind her. Relena instantly recognised it and began to relax a little.
"Heero? What's going on? Are you..." Heero cut her sentence short, and answered her question.
"I'm flying, and no I'm not an angel. I'm still human, just a little different."
Heero flew higher up towards the clouds. Relena could see the whole of the Sanq Kingdom from this height. The houses looked like small boxes in neat rows. Soon the pair passed over a forest. It looked like a bumpy green rug spread across the floor beneath them. Heero flew up into the clouds. There they couldn't be seen.
"Heero? What happened?" Relena asked. She felt him sigh on the back of her head, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"It's ok. Just after the Mariemaia incident, I didn't run away, I was taken away. I was asleep at the time. The door opened and I woke up expecting to see you on one of your visits, but instead there was a gun at my head." Relena gasped.
"They didn't try to shoot you did they?"
"No. I had to go with them though. I had no choice. They tied me down and drugged me. When I was asleep you can see what they did to me. They were trying to create humans that could fly. A whole fleet of them for them to do whatever they wished. I was their prototype."
Relena felt sorry for Heero. She couldn't see his face, but if she could, Relena would see his eyes brimming with tears of anger. Heero continued.
"Before they captured me, they bred a bird with large enough wings to support a human. Then they connected everything to my body as it was in the bird's body. I escaped and hid for two years before coming to find you."
Relena listened intently throughout Heero's story. She felt Heero's hands around her waist clench into fists. Relena placed her hands on Heero's and she felt him sigh again. He rested his head on Relena's. She smiled at his action.
"I think, you're fine the way you are."
Heero gripped her tighter in a way of saying thank you. Relena smiled again. Heero then flew underneath the clouds, back down towards the forest. Relena saw a tunnel down at the foot of one of the mountains that surrounded the forest.
"So, this is where you've been hiding." Relena said. Her partner remained silent.
