********I just wanted to make sure you know it, too Part 3************** An Song of the Lionness (In the Hand of the Goddess) Fanfic by Kitty

The first thing that Alanna felt when she came back to her senses was pain. Horrible pain that was in her arm. Suddenly everything came back to her mind and she felt darkness overpowering her again.

Alanna was dreaming. She dreamed about Thom, even though he was the last thing on her mind at the moment. Thom was sitting on a bed in a small room. "His room in the City of Gods ," Alanna suddenly knew. Even though Thom was now a Teenager himself, he still looked very similar to Alanna."Is this because the last time I saw him he was a kid, or does he really look like this now?" Alanna had no time to wonder anymore when suddenly a girl appeared in Thoms room. It was a very beautiful girl, she looked even better than Delia. She looked like a fairy. She surely was foreign because of her black hair and her dark small eyes. She probably was a Yamani. The girl smiled at Thom and he smiled back. Thom didn´t smile very often, but maybe he had changed. The few times Alanna knew that Thom had been smiling was when he was with her. Suddenly she felt ill. The girl and Thom started to kiss, and Alanna nearly screamed with fury. This was THOM! And he was kissing with another girl. Somehow Alanna had never thought of Thom as a boy. He was just her twin brother. Her second half. He was only interested in magic, and not in girls. He wasn´t like the boys at court. It struck Alanna like thunder when she began to realize that she was jealous. Was she jealous of the girl? Or was she jealous of Thom for having found somebody to love whom wasn´t her? Alanna felt very uneasy when she saw that Thom and the girl started to get undressed." I shouldn´t see that", she suddenly realized and returned to her own world, images of Thom and the Yamani girl still fresh in her mind.

When she opened her eyes, the sun was shining and she had her arm fixed. Actually it had been Jonathan who did this. With all the problems of Thor, Thom and Jem Tanner, Alanna still had one thought freshly in her mind "Jonathan cares". She smiled as she saw him fix her aching arm again and the pain almost became secondary. She sqeezed his hand and said "Thank you for taking care of me, Jon." He suddenly gave her an look he never gave her before. Alanna felt her temperature rise. "Maybe I shouldn´t have said that" Alanna thought with panic. She couldn´t move she was still weak, and Jonathan...oh, my he was so close. Alanna didn´t dare to breathe when she felt his hand brush away her hair. He looked so different. Not for the bad, but this was so unusual. He leaned in on her and she knew perfectly what was coming next. She was really shocked at the thoughts she had at this special moment. "Do it.", she thought, "please don´t bake away now. I want it!" Suddenly he was even more close. Alanna discovered that she now was afraid to breathe. Carefully almost timidly, Jonathan kissed her mouth. It was like heaven, feeling his soft lips, with a tenderness he had nerver shown before, kiss against her own. It was a feeling that couldn´t be described, not in a thousand years, not with a thousand words. It wasn´t like her kiss with George. It was almost innocent, even though there was a longing inside, a longing for something Alanna was not sure about. Her mind went in circles and small butterflies travelled down her spine to her stomach. This feeling...it was so unbelieveable. And even though the kiss lasted only a moment, it was a whole new fantastic experience for Alanna. It was the best feeling Alanna had ever had. It felt so...right! When the moment was over, Alanna felt blood rising in her head. Not because of Myles, who had just arrived and what he had probably seen or because she felt embaressed. She felt something new inside her, and even though she´d never would have admitted it, she knew, she was in love.

As Myles and Jonathan left the tent and Alanna was down on earth again, she suddenly knew why she had seen Thom in her dream before. "I have seen Thom with the girl he loves, and it is possible that he, too, has seen me with Jonathan. We are twins, indeed." Alanna blushed a little at the thought of Thom seeing her kiss with Jonathan. But for her it was more important that Thom was lucky with the Yamani girl. She did not feel jealous anymore. It was a light feeling now, making her smile. She had Jonathan, and somehow she knew that she would never be lonely again, as long as her prince was there.

End part 3

I promised it would be waffy! (WAFF means Warm and Fuzzy Feelings!) I´m sorry again for that bad grammar and typing...even though I hope you all understood what I was writing! And in the next part of this little story, it gets even more romantic because Alannas 17th Birthday arrives and we all know what´ll happen on this special day. Do you want me to describe the event a little bit graphic or not? ;)! PS: I know that Thom is a little bit ooc, because he really doesn´t care for anything else than magic, power and Alanna, but I wanted him to have a little fun,too. He will die soon enough!
