The Missing Queens of Narnia I
A Telepathic View
By Laura, re-typed and posted by Kayla
Prologue
People expect children to be messy and unintelligent. I was none of those things. I could speak within the year I was born, correct English mind you, not baby gibberish, and I stumped every doctor, physician and scientist that tried to figure out why I could do these things. I was the only one who knew.
I am telepathic.
I could hear my parents, and anyone else's thoughts I concentrated on, thinking about how they could solve a problem or work on some project so, naturally, I learned English faster than anyone I know.
I am a quiet girl with very few friends I can confide in except one, Marybeth, whom is my best friend and the only one who knows my secret.
I am now eighteen and stuck in high school—thank God this is my last year—where people think, literally, that I am a loner or freak of nature. Or both. They don't know how right they are.
"Amy! Wait up!" I turned to find Marybeth calling my name from down the hall. Marybeth understood the reason of keeping my ability secret; she has a "problem" of her own. She is telekinetic. She can move objects with her mind or do things like turn off the lights using nothing but her thoughts.
"Yeah Mary?" I asked her.
"Are we still walking home together?" she asked me.
"Duh." I replied, both of us walking towards the cafeteria for lunch again as it was every day. And today, just as any day, Jesse and Nick were waiting for us. Their favourite game to play was "Annoy the Freaks" which they tried to play as frequently as possible.
"Hey Nick, the freaks are here." Jesse taunted.
"Don't you guys have anything better to do? Or is it you just have no lives so you try to take ours?" I spit back.
"We have lives."Nick argued.
"Yeah smoking and snogging random girls is a real good life." Mary bit back sarcastically.
"At least we're not freaks like you two." Jesse stated proudly.
"Yeah who uses words like snogging anyway?" Nick agreed.
"We're normal." Jesse said.
Yeah about as normal as they come I sent that thought to Mary who almost laughed aloud.
I can send thoughts to people and have a full conversation just with my thoughts. Part of being telepathic, which I use to its full potential.
I wonder what they would say if they found out what we could really do? Mary thought back
I partially ignored Mary's statement because I was talking to Jesse. "Just let us in the cafeteria" I sighed. The boys sneered but let us through so we could eat.
The rest of the day was relatively uneventful and when I met Marybeth to walk home she looked flustered.
"I heard Brittney talking with Nick and Jesse about us in class and I just got so angry I broke my pencil. Why can't they talk about someone else?" she ranted. "I mean we didn't exactly ask for these powers. It's not fair!" she plopped down on the bench outside, her short blonde hair being thrown around by the strong early March gale.
It had just rained so huge puddles mounted the sidewalk and ash fault and the smell of new rain was everywhere. I could see the busses leaving the parking lot and all the walkers were long gone so Mary and I were the only ones left. I spotted a huge puddle to the side and turned to Mary who was still sulking. "Mary I have a way to cheer you up." I spoke and she raised her eyebrow at me in speculation.
I shrugged. "Come on!" I grabbed her hand and started running and when she caught sight of the puddle I could feel her excitement and soon she was running ahead of me. We stopped at the edge, yelled "One, Two, Three!"
...and jumped.
Okay so this story was written by Queen of Britannia and then I re-typed it and changed a few things and so did she and we decided that we were going to post it because I have been bugging her forever to write a Narnia fic. Please click the review button it would make us so happy.
