only seen acts like that on television specials.
"Yeah, I've been working on moving larger objects than chairs and from a greater distance. It's been going fairly smoothly. My concentration has to be unbelievably focused, but it also works well when I'm all wound up about something. It ties in with my emotions. Fear and anger seem to fuel the telekinesis.
"Your back is bothering you, isn't it?" Dominic obviously sensed this or read my mind. "Eli stocked some meds in the closet. Let me get you something."
He handed me the medication with a glass of water which I downed in a split second. With sarcasm I commented, "So, you didn't just try to poison me with those pills, did you? Or give me some drug so you can commit terrible crimes to my mind or body?"
"No!" Dom's eyes about popped out of his head. His face was suddenly burning red. I reached into his thoughts a bit, testing my newly discovered abilities. I realized I made a mistake with my accusation. He was seething with anger that I could possibly think him capable of hurting me. At the same time, he felt embarrassment about the "crimes to my body" comment I made. I could read in his mind that he never would do anything like that and instead felt the need to protect me. I actually had tears in my eyes. I was half joking with my statement and yet Dominic took it seriously.
I had an idea. And I don't know where all these brave and daring ideas were coming from lately, but since I'd been abducted, my brain was on super overdrive. I decided to put up a mental block, or at least what I assumed was a block to keep Dominic out of my head for a moment. I wanted to catch him off guard. According to this group, I had the ability to use mental manipulation, implanting thoughts into others. I was going to attempt to calm Dominic down. Not that this was a huge blow-up he was having. It was actually pretty minor and he'd probably shrug it off in another few minutes, but here was my chance.
He was walking away from me shaking his head, heading for the computer. He was totally unaware of what I was about to do. I mentally crept into the edges of his mind. Immediately I replaced his agitation with happy, calm thoughts. I felt like one of those commercials that tries using subliminal messages to encourage a potential customer to buy their products. I was actually thinking the words - relax, calm, happy, positive, cheery, blissful. Then I pictured in my head a waterfall, a beach, snowy mountains. Anything beautiful. Only about one minute had passed.
I was staring at him when he looked up from the computer and his face suddenly glowed with contentment. He gave me a big, toothy grin and it seemed as if my accusation towards him drugging me never took place. It was like I disrupted the previous unpleasant thoughts he was having so much so that I gave him new material to deal with. A different emotion - happiness. It reminded me of changing a television channel to something else.
I couldn't help myself but I had to reveal to Dominic what clever little experiment I just tried on him. And succeeded. "Aren't you just the happy camper now? How's that waterfall playing out in your head?"
The look of utter shock on his face was priceless. "You did that to me? I had no clue."
"Well, I felt guilty about the "drugging me" comment and I sensed you were pretty ticked off. What better time to catch you with your guard down and see if I could give you an attitude adjustment. It worked, didn't it?!" I was tickled with my achievement on Dominic, especially since he had told me earlier he tended to keep his guard up most of the time.
"I suppose you passed that test, too. I didn't sense you reading my mind or even trying to communicate through our minds at all. I should have recognized something. I'll admit I'm a tad disappointed in myself that you caught me off guard. But I'm mega proud of what you accomplished here today," Dominic was overjoyed. I preferred him that way. He was interesting to be
