Chapter 3: Telekentic


Emma was glad the streets were fairly quiet this morning. The last thing she needed were a thousand voices in her head, or any more of her thoughts winding up in anyone else's head. With that in mind she hopped in her car. She took a few deep breaths and reached to put the key in the ignition - only to have the car start and exit her parking spot without a key or other assistance from her. "Magical cruise control. This could work." Suddenly the car stopped a few yards from where she had been parked. "Or not."

After that brief magical incident, she started the car the normal way and was once again on her way. It seemed like it took her no time at all before the former Mayor's mansion came into view. She parked her car a short distance away and killed the ignition. And then she just sat there. Whatever determination she had driven here with was completely gone. The longer she sat there, the more nervous she started to feel. She was considering talking to one of the nuns turned fairies for help when her airbags deployed without warning. She sat there frozen in shock for a moment, and trying not to suffocate until the air bags went back to normal on their own.

"Well that's all the further encouragement I need." She quickly exited her car, looking back at it suspiciously. "I didn't even know this thing had airbags."

She was aiming for confidence as she made her way to the imposing mansion. She had her hand up to knock on the door when the door unlocked itself and opened seemingly on it's own.

"Ms. Swan, is there a reason you're here? And that my door is unlocked?"

Emma looked up with slightly panicked eyes to see Regina approaching the now open door, her hand still raised and ready to knock. Deciding against talking, she instead pressed her lips together and let her thoughts come naturally.

Would you believe that it was magic?

Regina frowned briefly as she realized that the Sheriff had spoken without actually speaking.

This has got to be a joke cooked up by those idiotic fairies…or Gold…

Yeah, so you're the actually the first person I've come to see. Can we talk out loud now? You sound even more condescending in my head.

"What about your parents?"

Regina didn't need Emma's telepathy to clearly interpret the look Emma gave her. As if Snow and Charming would be of any use aside to reaffirm how all magic comes with a price. Giving a brisk nod in understanding, she stepped back from the doorway. "Perhaps you should come in dear."

Emma followed silently behind Regina trying to calm the chaos in her head.

BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS BRICK WALLS"

Suddenly Regina turned to face her just outside of her study. "What on earth are you doing?"

Huh? "Huh?"

"Eloquent as ever dear. Why are you thinking about brick walls so much? I'm getting tired of hearing it, and would you believe that your voice grates even more on my nerves when it's inside my head? I know it seems impossible, but I'm finding that it's proving to be true seeing as how I am getting quite close to throttling you."

Movies failed me yet again. "It's this movie from like 1960 called Village of the Damned. All of the kids were crazy precocious and striking and could read and control minds and communicate with each other as well as the human adults. I don't remember much about the movie except that they were all freakishly pale and blonde and that there was this one guy who kept thinking about brick walls when working with them and it actually kept the little brats out."

Regina couldn't help laughing out loud as she continued into the study. Emma shrugged at being laughed at and continued to follow her. The door shut immediately behind her. Regina gave her an appraising look.

Magic indeed. Regina's smile widened as Emma finally stopped looking accusingly at her hand and met Regina's curious stare. "First of all, I'm pretty sure that it's not enough to merely think of the metaphorical brick walls. I believe the point of the exercise is to visualize the wall, to visualize it being impenetrable."

Emma was lost in the low, soft sound of Regina's voice. She didn't even realize that she had been guided to sit. Her eyes had drifted close, and she focused only on Regina's lovely voice and what she was being instructed to do.

"That's it dear. Build the wall brick by brick. Reinforce it with everything that makes you. Make it so that no one and nothing can break through the wall from either side unless you wish for it to be so. This wall is for your protection and is only as strong as your will."

She has such a beautiful voice when she isn't insulting me. So pretty...every word is like a song, a sweet seductive song. Pretty soon she realized that she couldn't even hear a stray thought from the older woman.

You should so be a phone sex operator. Emma's eyes shot open to see if there was any hint that Regina had heard that thought. "Did you hear that?"

Regina debated teasing the obviously distressed woman, but instead decided on honesty. "I haven't heard a single thought since you waxed poetic about my lovely voice. I must say I'm quite flattered."

Emma blushed, but pushed past her discomfort. "Nothing about…um…phone sex?"

Regina's smirk brought to mind images what she must have been like as The Evil Queen, all dark, seductive and mysterious. "No dear, that particular thought did not make it's way through. Care to share?"

"Sharing is so not caring in this case. I think I'll keep what thoughts I can to myself."

"Are you sure dear? I must say that that is something of this world that I've never taken part in. That and sexting I believe it's called."

Emma could feel her entire body blush. "No, No I'm good. I'm all sorts of cured now thanks to you."

Regina gave a dark chuckle. "Hardly dear. Your little wall trick isn't going to help you control any other abilities that you might suddenly develop. Like the ability to open and shut doors at will – or levitate apparently. I think we should sit down and have a talk." Regina took pity on Emma, who began flailing in the air once she realized she was no longer on solid ground, and guided her back down. She fought back laughing at how scared Emma looked. "So about that talk?"

Regina arched one perfectly plucked brow and waited.

Fuck me!

"Perhaps we should practice building that brick wall some more dear. I can hear you again."


A/N: I gave you a little bit more that time. What do you think of Regina? Is she true enough to character. Once again thank you all for the alerts and follows. You made my night!
