l i v i n i a don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything “Thank you,” she breathes.  The relief that washes over her is palpable.  The anxiety seeps from the lines of her face; the tension leaves her still-feline shoulders.  She hates that she has struggled so severely with this task, but she is determined to see it through. She knows with Jamie by her side she can.  She will. She can focus on his presence and not the instinct to hunt, to kill, to keep this form which her mind has grown so attached her.  Because this body is not hers to keep.  It is time now for her to shed this skin and return to her own. And return to her life. She knew she’d come out stronger for this – for she’d certainly learned a valuable lesson.  She knows that that was the purpose of this test, she only hoped that the fairy on the mountain wouldn’t be as disappointed in her as she was in herself.  She swallows down the anticipation and steps closer to Jamie’s vaporlike side. And then she starts in the direction of the mountain – keeping pace with her brother.  As they draw nearer the hair on the back of her neck rises, but she forces herself to stay at her brother’s side even though everything in her is screaming at her to return to the trees.  Until finally, the mountain looms. ”I’ll find you,” she says, trying to pour confidence in to her shaky voice, ”After.” She doesn’t want him to feel he has to stay and wait for her, but she hopes he understands that this small gesture has meant so much more to her.  And then she turns and begins her climb.
