Helluuur! So, I just got off the phone with a super good friend of mine who is one of my most awesome supporters of all and it just gave me the right motivation to post a chapter for you all. It's a song chapter so I hope you enjoy it!

Singing

Tasia walks into the Swan-Mills manor awkwardly with a quiet shut of the door when Emma walks around the corner, "Hey you, I thought you'd still be working."

"I wanted to help clean up, but Granny sent me home, saying that I need to rest," the younger woman responses, throwing air quotes at "rest".

"I surprised you went to work at all with the amount of energy you used," Regina speaks, stepping around the corner behind her blonde other half, "Especially when today is the first time you've willingly summoned your magic."

The young brunette shrugs and makes her way pass the two women, "I still have to do what I gotta do, I just got hired yesterday, what would that make me if I were to call in sick my second day? I need to keep going."

"Hey," Emma gently takes hold of Tasia's arm, holding her still for a moment, "I understand that you're trying to be hard on yourself, but there's a time where you have to just stop and relax, or you'll kill yourself."
The youngest of the three sighs in defeat, brushing her bangs back with her free hand, "If I stop, it just gives my mind an excuse to wonder, and then I'll remember all of the things I am desperately trying to forget."

"And you can use that energy to will your power," Regina says placing a soft hand on her apprentice's shoulder.

With a nod, Tasia smiles to both women, in which Regina and Emma could see in those brown eyes, the walls that are beginning to crumble.

"Thank you. If it's okay, I'd like to take a shower and go to bed. I admit; I'm exhausted.

Regina and Emma smile at the their housemate and let go of her shoulder and arm, "Of course dear," Regina says, "We'll take a day off of your lessons tomorrow, you did exceptionally well today.

With a grateful smile, Tasia steps away and towards her room.

The next morning, Tasia wakes up refreshed and gets herself ready for the day. She figures even though her lesson with the mayor wasn't happening, she could still practice on her own, and she knew just the spot. So she packed up some extra clothes and made her way out once she took notice the Swan-Mills family weren't home.

The wind blew lightly through soft brunette curls as olive skinned toes stepped onto the sand, Tasia put her backpack down, walking towards the water.

She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes and lifts her right hand up. With a flick of her wrist the wind played a melody with sounds off a guitar.

The younger sorceress wiggles her fingers and the ground shook gently. The pebbles along the shore bounced, creating a drum-like beat.

Lifting her left hand, palm facing upwards to will the waves to crash in order to make to sounds of the cymbals.

Loving you is like the ocean, high tides and low tides,

I'm feeling sick from the emotions; you take me on this bumpy ride.

Just like the rocky shoreline, they're dangerous and unpredictable,

I need a life raft to save my mind, 'cause I'm drowning in your sea invincible.

But I wish you were the ocean, 'cause the swim in your water is endless,

With you I am the sunset, as we kiss on the horizon.

But it always gets dark when I leave you behind,

Your water turns cold with no warmth from my light.

I'm tired of tryna keep my head above,

And stay afloat and swim against your waters.

'Cause I'm floating, in serenity,

And I'm drowning, in my misery.

It changes with the weather whenever we're together, can't seem to figure you out,

No, I can't seem to figure you out.

I feel just like an island.

Your constant ways and waves surrounding me,

I never knew of the dry land, until you took your love away from me.

You made the rain stop and then you made it pour down, I've never been so confused,

You got me sinking, oh you got me thinking, that you should be the one to lose.

Clenching her fist to make a short pause….and another flick of her wrist to continue on que.

But I wish you were the ocean, 'cause the swim in your water is endless,

With you I am the sunset, as we kiss on the horizon.

But it always gets dark when I leave you behind,

Your water turns cold with no warmth from my light.

I'm tired of tryna keep my head above.

And stay afloat and swim against your waters.

'Cause I'm floating, in serenity,

And I'm drowning, in my misery.

It changes with the weather whenever we're together, can't seem to figure you out.

Can't seem to figure you out.

The wind plays a soft background of harmony as the young woman vocalizes to her song, as the voices fade and the wind makes its way toward the horizon. The waves calmed and the pebbles stopped as well.

Silence…

Emma was making her way towards the diner when her phone rang, "Yeah."

"Emma," it was David, "We're getting calls here at the station about a commotion at the beach, since you stepped out, do you mind checking it out?"

With a groan and pout the blonde responded with a, "Fine" and hung up on her father then turns on her heel towards her bug.

The Savior pulls her car up just behind the familiar silver truck and steps out on the sand just as the last wave crashed over the shore and the last strum of what sounded like a guitar played its final chord.

Silence….

"Tasia? What's going on?" Emma asks walking up behind the young brunette.

Ruby jumps out from the bushes and jogs over to her imprint, wrapping an arm around the brunette's shoulders, "Tasia, are you alright?"

Tasia, leans against her raven haired friend with a weak smile, "Yes, Ruby. I'm fine…" she says softly as she tries to catch her breath as well as trying to not collapse on the ground like the previous day, but her legs were slowly turning to jelly and soon enough, the brunette won't be able to hold herself any longer.

"You're giving yourself a beating my friend," Emma says with a soft, yet concerned smile, "Let's get you home." The blonde holds her arm out, moving to the other side of the younger woman to help support her. But before the sheriff could even touch a finger to the brunette, Ruby already had the younger woman in her arms, by the shoulders and under her knees in a protective hold, "I got her," the she-wolf said.

With a soft squeal of surprise, Tasia wraps her arms around her fellow waitress's neck a tint of pink on her cheeks, "You don't have to carry me Ruby, I can walk…"

Meanwhile Emma, shove her hands in the back pockets of her jeans with a raised brow and an amused expression on her face as she watches the love sick puppy and her imprint.

"Can you really?" The she-wolf asks in a sarcastic tone, looking into brown eyes. Ruby then notices just how close their faces are.

The color of the younger woman's cheeks darkened and looks away from the blue eyes gazing down at her, tightening her hold around the pale neck, "N-no…I can't even feel my legs…" she admits too soft for human ears.

The raven haired woman holds her imprint close, grinning wolfishly and makes her way towards the Mills residence.

Emma shakes her head at the obvious love blooming before her very eyes and gets into her car, driving back to the station.

As soon as Emma walks in, her phone rings once again. With a grin on her face, she holds the phone up to her ear, "Madame Mayor."
"Did you find the source of the disturbance Miss. Swan?"

"I have."

"What was it?"

"More like who, is the question."

"Who was it Miss. Swan?" the voice on the other end of the line spoke in annoyance.

With a chuckle the blonde answers, "Apparently, your little apprentice had this bright idea of experimenting with her new powers."

"She what!? Is she alright? Where are you? Where is she!?"

"Regina, babe, calm down. She's fine. Red's with her at the manor."

With a sigh of relief Regina leaned back in her chair, "Good."

"Your maternal instincts are screaming my love."

"Well, she's fairly young to be playing around with magic she just learned of in less than a week."

"In that case, you would be on a rampage if you saw the way she used her powers."

"What are you not telling me Miss. Swan?" The former evil queen spoke darkly.

Emma sat on her chair, lifting her feet onto her desk as she takes a bite out of the bear claw she was finally able to purchase on her way to the station, "She about used up all of her elements to throw herself a little concert down at the beach"

"She what!?" Regina yells into her phone, not bothering to hang it up before she poofs herself straight into her living room where her apprentice sat next to the single red-streaked haired she-wolf, "What. Were. You. Thinking!?" she exclaims, making both younger women jump in surprise.

"R-Regina! I was just-"

"No! From now on you are not allowed to use your magic without my supervision. Are we clear?"

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to get better," the younger brunette didn't know why, but she suddenly felt ashamed, like she just got caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

Regina runs her fingers through short brunette tresses and looks at the younger woman, softening her firm features, "Emma told me about what happened, though I may not know the details it just sounds too extreme for you," the mayor kneels in front of her housemate, brushing long strays of brunette hair away from the young sorceresses face, "Listen, I just don't want you to kill yourself over this. If anything were to happen to you, I will feel responsible, because I took you in and made the decision to train you."

"I understand, and I'm sorry I worried you."

"It's okay darling, just don't let it happen again," with a light kiss to the younger brunette's forehead she stands up straight and addresses to the she-wolf, "Thank you Ruby for watching over her…again."

"Of course!"

Regina looks back at Tasia with firm eyes and a point of her forefinger, "Remember now, you're grounded from magic, don't let it happen again or I will be forced to put a cuff on you."
Tasia nods in agreement and the Mayor poofs away.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say Regina is one big mama bear," Ruby says, leaning back against the sofa, next to her imprint with a teasing grin.

"I guess you're right. It certainly feels that way, and I have to admit it's kind of nice. I maybe too old to be mothered, but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy it."
"Grew-up too fast?"

"If that's what you call it. I still feel like a child to this day."
Ruby lays a hand over Tasia's and says, "You can tell me anything yknow."

Brown eyes looked into blue and smiles lightly then takes a deep breath.
