The spell that Ezekiel's father, Stewart, had cast on him was not intended to simply make him sleep.
Rather, it was designed to make him feel numb, so that he wouldn't be able to move or scream, like he had been just moments before. The pain that he felt coursing through his body was overwhelming, and he could barely keep his thoughts straight.
But Ezekiel refused to give up. Even in his current state, his mind raced with plans and ideas. For years, he had been aware of the energy inside him, and the impact it had on his life, as well as that of his parents.
He was determined to find a way to control it, to wield it to his advantage.
As he was being escorted to the place where they worked, Ezekiel cursed inwardly. He knew that he needed to act fast if he wanted to achieve his goal.
Despite the fact that he had been meditating for some time, he knew that it wasn't enough to give him the control he needed. He needed to find a way to conceal his energy, to hide it from those around him.
' It is still impossible ' He thought, however, he was not going to give up just like that.
Okay, if they had only given me a little more time, I might have been able to control it'.
The air was thick with tension as Ezekiel's father nervously walked into the facility where he and his wife worked.
He held Ezekiel, his son, inside his coat, tightly concealing him from the guards stationed at the entrance.
The weather was not particularly cold, but his father used the coat as a desperate measure. If he attempted to use a spell to conceal Ezekiel's presence, the guards would immediately detect it.
Earlier that night, Ezekiel's mother had helped his father wrap him tightly in a large sheet to ensure he wouldn't move or make any noise. Even though he felt suffocated and uncomfortable.
As they made their way through the facility, Ezekiel was waiting for the moment they would take him out of his hiding spot. However, his parents were cautious, making sure to avoid any areas with security cameras or guards.
Finally, they arrived at the measurement room, where his father instructed his mother to stand guard at the door.
With a swift movement, his father removed him from inside the coat and placed him on a metallic table. Ezekiel could feel his heart racing as his father began to fiddle with the device that would measure his energy levels.
He watched his father's face, hoping to read some indication of what was to come, but his father's expression remained unreadable.
"I am ready," his father announced, and Ezekiel held his breath, bracing himself for the worst. He locked eyes with his father, silently pleading for him to be gentle and not cause any harm.
But his father's focus was unwavering, and he went about his task with a detached efficiency that chilled Ezekiel to the bone.!
'Acting cute? Acting cute is very dumb, I know these people, and I know their motives and intentions, they will not fall for an act, the fact that they went this far just to make sure that I am corrupted is proof of how cruel they are'
" And, tell me , honey, what is the result? Hurry up, someone might come at any second" His mom was whispering next to the door, while still opening it for a bit to look in both directions.
Even them being there together at one shift was suspicious because all of their co-workers knew that since they had their first child just one of them was coming to work while the other took care of him at home.
The device was not that big, however, it was fixed on the roof, it was very advanced, and it looked way more advanced than the technology he saw on earth in his first life .
Ezekiel was confused by that device, he thought at first that this world was running with magic, however, when he saw this today he realized that magic was way more advanced than he thought .
The device descended to the level of his body that was laying on the table, a huge light appeared , it almost blinded his sensitive eyes, it went for three rounds of scans.
' It is scanning my energy level !' He thought because no one was saying anything about that procedure, he was not even sure, but that was the only explanation .
Suddenly, a red light appears after three rounds of scan.
His mother ran towards his father then said:" Fuck, it was just what we expected, he has the energy, this filthy little bastard, what should we do with him now!! , aaaaah , I thought for a second that everything is going to be okay but no…this little shit has to be a danger to society..."
His mother was going to lose her patience when his father said:" Now, that we confirmed that he has it, we need to go back"
' Shit , I thought that some miracle would happen to conceal me having this power, but no, no , they know now, it is confirmed, I have supremacy signs'
Ezekiel was very terrified now that they knew about his energy, his father started to manipulate that device again, he knew after that he was trying to erase the history from that device about the scan that they made .
His mother panicked when the red lights appeared in that room, the light was so bright and intense, it made the room look red.
His mother closed the door in a hurry then went to Ezekiel and held him in the sheet from before.
"Apparently, it cannot be erased," His father said firmly .
" Hurry up, we have to go, now hurry up, Stewart, if you can't erase it, just change it with someone else's result" His mom yelled .
"They changed the system, those fuckers" Stewart said .
Stewart finally relented and said, "Okay, okay, I will do exactly that." But Ezekiel knew that even if his father managed to change the result, the truth had already been uncovered.
His parents knew about his energy, and he could feel the weight of their disappointment and fear.
