I had to concentrate for this. One slip and both of our lives would be gone forever. I took some deep breaths. You can do it, I assured myself.
I gently placed a paw on the vixen's chest, making sure she didn't wake up. The connection was made.
I closed my eyes and focused on a single thought - a very important, single thought. Heal. I thought of absolutely nothing else.
I felt the energy run along my arm - apprehensively at first, but speeding up as I gave more power.
I felt my own energy gradually slipping away. Don't overdo it, I reminded myself. Or everything's over.
I urged the energy on. It began to enter the vixen's body. Colour began to flow to her skin, and her chest wounds began to disappear.
The rope burns, from when she had been tied to the tree, melted into her neck, ankles and wrists. Her breathing rate quickened, edging towards normal. It was going well.
My energy began to decrease much quicker. I couldn't hold for much longer. Just a few more seconds, I told myself, gritting my teeth.
Almost there... almost... yes...
Healing completed, I collapsed on the vixen in exhaustion. "Must... sleep..." I muttered, curling around the vixen to keep her warm and laying her, on her side, beside me.
Stay with me, I wished, looking longingly at the injured vixen.
Give me her love.
Terribly sorry about the lateness and size - final installment will be huge! :D
