1 Queendom

Since I was a kid I already develop 2 kinds of abilities. Which is not normal in this world. and because of that, my parents told me to hide my other ability and to never expose it to other people.

Sometimes I envy other people that don't have the ability because they can choose whatever lifestyle they want. They can do whatever they want without worrying about how they can protect our world. They are so free and full of happiness in their eyes.

I wish I was like them, normal people so my parents don't need to send me to that academy.

"Can I just act like I'm a normal person? That I don't have any power at all?" I pleaded with my parents while they continue packing my things. I can feel their sadness, I know that they don't want this but they don't have a choice. I don't have a choice.

I hold my mom's hand then she looks at me. Her hand was cold and she was crying silently.

"We can't do that honey, you can't!" her voice was raspy.

"Can we just live in the forest with no other people will know that we exist?" I have so many ideas and plans so I wouldn't be parted from them. My dad holds my shoulder and looks at me with sadness.

"Zero, they will capture you and kill you when they found out that you have the ability but choose to hide and did not attend that academy. I and your mom don't want that to happen. So please just trust us."

I couldn't do anything but cry, I was crying while we drove using my dad's old car. I was at the back of our car and my mom couldn't do anything but watch me crying from the mirror. The closer we get to our destination the more my tears fell from my eyes, it feels like I was crying a river.

As soon as we stop, my chest was in pain. I will be parted from my parents till I graduated from this academy. 10 years being away from them... I couldn't see that I can make it. My parents are my life, they are the only friends I have and I have trusted. How can I live so far from them?

My dad opens the trunk of the car to get my bags and my mom opens the back door so I could get off the car. But I don't want to move, I don't even want to look at their faces.

"Please Zero!" my mom pleaded... again, I had no choice but to get off. I'm just 10 years old and they want me to live on my own? I can't!

"Hide the fact that you can bend blood, always remember that you only have one ability and its telekinesis." she kneels so our eyes could meet. I will never forget the color of her eyes, it is light brown just like the caramel, that can turn into scarlet red whenever she uses her ability. She taught me a lot about our ability but she always reminds me not to use it. I couldn't understand why she teaches me her ability but forbid me to use it. Then my dad taught me how I can control my telekinesis power, the only power I can use.

"Always remember, Zero that you are weak so you can't attract attention from people around you. Act as if you are the weakest ability user in the world." then this is what my dad always tells me. I need to be weak.

They hug me tight for one last time again. It was warm and I could feel their love for me. I don't want to let go. This is my home, they are my home. How can I survive 10 years without them?

"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Ark." my mom and dad let go of our hugs because of the voice that we heard from our back. My parents stand up and hold my hands while facing the person who spoke. It was an old lady's voice.

"I'm sorry but parents are not allowed inside the academy." She wears a long black dress and white sandals. She has white hair and her smile creep me out. I don't like her. I don't like being here.

"Yes we know." my dad said with full of respect to this old lady.

"Your daughter is safe in her in Queendom, and you will meet her again after 10 years." Why does she said it like 10 years is just 2 nights sleep far?

"It's our honor to leave our child in this academy to learn." My mom said before she looks at me.

"We love you Zero!"

"ZEROOOO" A loud banging on my door wakes me up. I thought there was an earthquake. I reach for my door and when I open it I saw Granger. He was already in his uniform and he smells like shit. I hate his perfume for almost seven years.

"Why are you still in your pajamas?" he yells at me. What's new? I'm always late for class and nothing changes till now but he is always hysterical about that.

"It's the time that the Queen will pick her new apprentice, remember?" I walk back to my bed and am ready to go back to sleep but he grabs my hands and makes me face him again.

"Please Zero, we need to attend this ceremony together. What if the Queen chose me and you're not there to celebrate with me, or what if the Queen chose you?"

"I don't care. Granger! Please I want to sleep!" I use my telekinesis power so he could let go of my hand.

"See you can control your ability so well even though they just give you level 20. Did you just intentionally failed your test so they could give you a lower level every year?" I was stupid! I forgot that Granger is smart and he could deduce that shit.

"Shut your mouth Granger or else I'll kill you," I warn him but his eyes don't look afraid at all.

"I will shut my mouth but in one condition..."
