Corruption ( An original story )

1: A child of light

I stared into the lake, I was control the water with my powers. But then I lose focus and the ball of water fell into the lake again. I groaned, why can't I get this fucking right? I threw a fucking stone at the lake and the stone hit the water, then went to the bottom of the lake. I hugged my knees to my chest. Why can't I be like mom or dad or grandmother? Who I never met in my life, but I was told story about her by my mom.

I stared at my hand and a light come to life in my hands. I shook it off, I don't want to attract any gods here or worse the children of those fucking corrupted gods. I am the a child of light, but I can't be that. My parents expect me to be that child of light. They knew I was the one from the prophecy because of some stupid mark on my neck. All gods born with these marks to show what their destiny in life. Mine is hidden from the world, only my parents know what I can do.

I was homeschooled most of my life. My only friend is Zayn, she is an hybrid and she is lucky to be one. Because she can do a lot of thing I can't. Well, but being homeschool have their perks too. I get to finish homeschooling early than her, and I get to go around the city of Everbloom a lot longer than her. But I don't like to brag.

I stared at the unknown, wondering what happened 6,000 years ago. My mother told the stories, and why I should be hidden from the world. If the other gods knew, who knows what they do. 

I heard my phone started to ring, and I pulled it out of my pocket. I saw it was my mom, and I picked it up.

" Hey Zion."

" Hey mom."

" You need to come home now, you know that."

" Yes mom, I will be home in a few minutes, there is no gods in sight."

" Okay, but remember-"

" Be safe, stay hidden, pretend. I remember, mom, you taught me that. I will be home, bye mom."

" Bye Zion."

I put my phone away and I looked around, then I teleported away. I teleported in an alleyway and I hidden my god-like features. Then I opened a door and I closed it behind me, then I locked it. I walked down the stairs, I hear music from the basement. I saw mom was cooking this time, and dad is out. " There you are, Zion, where did you go this?"

I sighed, " The lake, " I answered and she paused. " The same lake that the incident happened?" She asked and I looked away from her. " Oh Zion, I told you to never go to that lake alone. You don't know what dangers are lurking in there, " she warned me, I nodded and I went to help her with dinner because I helped to help her or dad with cooking.

She was making a special soup this time and I loved that kind of soup for years. She told me grandmother made this for her when she was kid. Even though, there was war raging on. I wasn't even born then. Mom is one of the oldest godly children and is the second eldest. The oldest is corrupted godling. So I don't want to know who that person is for now. Because my parents said I am too vulnerable to lose. How am I so vulnerable to lose?

I heard the door from the top of the stairs. I saw it was dad who came back from work, I knew my parents worked for this organization. I knew this organization and my grandmother made it. She knew if they didn't win the war. She made sure there will people to help continued this movement. 

I got the table set and I helped mom put the food on the table. Dad helped too, then we sat at the table. We started to eat, " Zion, we have some news for you, " my dad said and I stared at my parents. " What kind of news, the group started to hack into the systems of the Gods' institution? Are we a step closer to stopping them?" I started to ask my sarcastic questions again as usual. 

" No, me and your mother decided we can't keep homeschooling you because we don't have the time we used to. So we are sending to a real school for once."

I dropped my spoon into my bowl, " What? You are sending for a school, you don't know how dream this day to come. When am I going?" I asked in excitement and my parents smiled. " Well in a week actually, since you are 17 years old. You will be in year 12 anyways, this school is the same one where your best friend go to. We talked with her parents and Zayn will tour you around the school. We chose your courses for you, which fits your liking. So you need to take the mandatory course which is math, English and magic controlling course. But the ones we chose for you is programming/technology, arts, music, and P.E. But you are registered as hybrid/supernatural, this is for your safety. Plus the world and the realms need you."

I sighed and I remembered when I was told to fake what rank I was as a kid. Hybrid/supernatural. 

" You are an child of light, remembered that. You know you can't wear that necklace to school, " she reminded me about my necklace that was gifted at birth. All godlings are gifted with these necklaces that represent our elements and our powers. Mine is tech, creation and purity. As well as my symbols, I always hid them with makeup for years and always wiped it off when I got home. 

" I know, I have to look like an hybrid and you need these earrings all hybrid them, " mom give me the earrings in my hands. I stared at them, their were tech earring. " So I am tech hybrid, " I raised my eyebrow. They nodded, " I mean I could pretend to be one, I know how. Is it tech hybrids really rare?" I asked to me my parents, and they all shook their heads no.

" Well, yes, but no, at the same time because most of the tech hybrids live here, in Everbloom So you don't have to worried about that. But the high school you are going is also the same high school where the godlings go to." I widened my eyes, oh boy.

I really hope I can blend in with the other hybrids and supernatural.
