This is the big chapter by the way, the pivotal moment! It contains lots of Luce/Daniel, and the others show their faces, just for you. I hope you likey. R&R!

Daniel's POV:

Daniel was awake now, after Luce had dumped him on the floor. His butt was still sore. He was in the kitchen now, making Luce breakfast. After all, she could dump him on his butt a million times and he would still love her.

He was making pancakes. They were vanilla and strawberry flavoured, and he layered honey, banana slices, raspberries, blueberries, and vanilla whipped cream. Not even Evangeline could resist that.

"Yum! What smells so good?" Luce danced down the stairs, her hair floating behind her. It had grown back to it's usual length since they'd been in heaven, Daniel suspected Evangeline had something to do with it. She knew he'd always liked it better when it was long.

"I made pancakes," He said, pushing a plate over to her, piled high with food.

"Oh my gosh, Daniel! This is amazing!"

"Thanks," He mumbled, blushing. He looked at Luce, who was attempting to force one of the pancakes, whole, into her mouth. He laughed, and took it from her, putting it back on the plate. He kissed off some cream that had found it's way to her lip.

"I'll cut it up for you," He whispered against her lips. He pulled away and grabbed a knife from the bench, slicing the pancake into bite-sized pieces.

"Would you like me to feed you as well?" He laughed. Luce pouted.

"I'm fine."

She pulled the plate toward her, snatched up a fork from beside her and began shovelling the pancake into her mouth.

"Woah, slow down, Luce! You could choke!"

She looked up, grinning.

"But they taste so good!" She exclaimed through a mouthful of berries and cream.

"Maybe I should have just made cereal..."

"No!"

Ten minutes later and they had finished their breakfast. Luce had gotten dressed in a white organsa dress that Evangeline had given her, looking perfect, and Daniel was in his white button-down shirt and dress pants. They were at the door, and as they stepped outside they were greeted by Gabbe, Arriane, Shelby, Molly, Cam, Roland, Miles and Evangeline. Daniel hugged Evangeline and they walked to the meeting house.

"So how exactly does this work?" Luce asked

"We'll explain it once we're in there, don't worry," Daniel assured her.

As they entered, the choirs began to sing. Daniel sighed, reveling in the sound. The hall was decorated with silver, blue and gold ribbons, and white satin hung from the roof like shimmering clouds. All in all the scene was breathtaking. Evangeline stopped, and motioned for the others to take their places in the stands. She turned to Luce and Daniel.

"Follow me."

She paced into the center of the room, Daniel and Luce at her heels. She raised her hands, her palms facing outwards, motioning for silence. The choir stopped abruptly. She took Daniel's hands, looking directly into his eyes.

"You are truly blessed, Daniel Grigori. Don't you ever forget."

"I won't, not ever."

"Good, let's begin."

She released his hands and guided Luce to him. She stepped away to address everyone.

"Welcome. I extend my greetings to you all, be you Heavenly Body, Nephilim Child, Fallen Heroes, Demon Spawn or Outcast."

Daniel and Luce were stunned. They knew Cam, Roland, Gabbe, Arriane and Molly were fallen angels, and Shelby and Miles were Nephilim, but Demon Spawn and Outcasts? They looked around, finally realising that it wasn't only the residents of heaven that surrounded them. Toward the door were more Nephilim, beside them sat the Outcasts, and beside them were what were obviously Demons. They all had pale, nearly transparent skin, their veins showing through, and in some cases their skin splitting, wounds oozing blood. They were horrific to look at, I'm sure they were worse to sit next to.

Next to them were Daniel's fallen kin. He smiled as he spotted Gabbe waving frantically at them, practically bouncing up and down in her seat. Surrounding everyone were the inhabitants of heaven, looking stunning in their gold and silver-blue robes. Behind Evangeline was the Celestial Chorale, arranged in order of pitch, the female Sopranos at the front, behind them the Altos, followed by the Contraltos and the male Tenors, and behind them the Baritones and Bass. The women were dressed in baby-blue satin gowns, their straight, white-blonde hair cascading down their backs, their pale faces peaceful. The men were dressed in midnight-blue silk robes, their pale faces and jet black hair contrasting beautifully. Either side of the chorale stood the High Council of Angels, dressed in gold, their wings spread slightly, they seemed to glow, the light reflecting off their snow-white skin.

Everyone was looking at them. The air was electric with anticipation. Daniel looked at Luce, who was looking around in awe. Her eyes found his. Evangeline was speaking, chanting something in latin, but neither of them were listening. The chorale began to sing, Luce smiled as she recognised the song. It was Amazing Grace. Evangeline was still chanting, her voice all but drowned out by the heavenly song. Daniel briefly registered her dancing around the two, her chanting becoming singing as she circled them again and again. But he only had eyes for Luce. A silver-blue ribbon of light formed a circle around them. Another gold ribbon weaved itself through that, followed by a midnight blue one. Only Daniel and Luce remained in the circle. A white light appeared from the roof, descending toward them. It wound itself around Daniel, encircling his wrists, arms, chest, legs, neck. It guided his hands into Luce's, where it began weaving it's way around her, too. As soon as they were bound together by the light, the white tendrils stopped moving.

"You know what to do," It whispered to them, it's voice not male or female, child or adult, but merely there, a voice disconnected from it's owner. And they did knowwhat to do, it was like an instinct, second nature. Daniel took her hand and placed it on his heart, their fingers still entwined. He leaned in, his heartbeat quickening, Luce could feel it, neither of them registered anything happening around them, not even as the white light became red, then orange, then yellow, then green, as it cycled through a rainbow of colours over and over again. Not even as the ring of blue and gold ribbons drew closer to them. Not even as the light that bound them grew tighter, pulling them nearer to each other. They did not think of the past, or of the future, they knew only of the feel of the other's breath ghosting against their face, the feel of the other's heart at it beat faster and faster, as if it could stop at any second, the passion that consumed them as their lips met, the undying love that was so vast and unconditional that it could consume even the most corrupt soul.

But the one thing Daniel did register was the scream of pain that burst from Luce's lips as her new wings exploded from her back and the lights vanished, and the sudden weight of Luce's body as she lost conciousness.

Oooh, it's a cliffie! I think Imma write the next chapter too... 'Cause I know what happens next and you don't! Mwahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha! Ha! Ha. Haha. *Giggles*

Anywho... R&R PEOPLES!
