Zenith Quarhon the digital destiny

My name is Zenith I was a normal kid going to school avoiding bullies and just your average creative fantasy writer. That was until my life changed and my greatest dream came true. So let us begin the story at the very beginning my 15 birthday. The day my world changed.

I awoke tired as every other day before I got dressed in my jacket hoodie the fleece lining keeping me warm as I went about my routine of stumbling around the house eating and cleaning myself up. Nothing seemed different then well any different than normal sure my parents where gone but they worked two jobs each and offend slept when not working or cleaning the house.

I turned the news on to and listened to it for a brief moment the top story was the same boring topic that gets drilled in your head for months it was a break in and theft at a government facility and how it offends people and caused the wacky conspiracy theories of what the government was hiding or doing . At first I was cheering that they would get the guy but as time passed it became just a minor thought. I wished they would put on a new story after all this story seemed just boring the same facts each day told or spun differently to buy time to find the next big thing.

I turned off the TV and walked outside the air felt fresh and slightly warm for this time of year it was strangely quiet not even the birds where singing as usual. I waited at my bus stop for 20 minutes till I figured I missed the bus as no one else showed up so I took the path through the woods to my school it wasn't far at all the only reason I took the bus was that it was warm and I was lazy in the morning.

I was approaching the school when I heard the warning bell go off I high tailed it running as fast as I could and managed to get to the doors before the automatic lock out occurred. I wasted no time in taking my usual route through the school avoiding the others kids lockers and moving quickly knowing if I stopped the group of bullies might recognize me I grabbed my books from my locker and was almost home free about to enter my math class algebra 1 when I felt a hand yank me on my shoulder forcing me back.

"Oh hello Zenith where is it?"

I sighed "where what josh?"

Josh smiled "My project for history you know my paper or should I say our paper partner?"

I sighed "I told you before am not doing it all by myself and giving you an easy A if you want the grade you have to work for it I wont do what you say out of fear or threats your have to do better then that josh."

Josh looked angry balling up his fists he slammed me in the locker which was a pretty easy for him me being the skinny 5.6 student and him the 6.5 jock/bully. "You better give it up or else!"

"Or else what josh your beat me up go ahead and do it Ill go to the doctors and get more time out of school and less time around you!"

Josh face was full or rage "You little ugh I swear Ill get you for this just you wait."

Josh stormed off and I went through my normal classes without seeing josh much or him bothering me maybe I finally got him to leave me alone. I was headed home when I spotted josh running away and hiding in the bushes near my house I figured he was trying to jump me or something so I walked over to the back yard and pretended to look for a bag of rock salt for the snow storm that was supposed to be coming any day talking out loud about where I put it, I could hear josh getting closer I opened the shed and moved a box and grabbed what I was looking for I heard josh on the other side of the door trying to lock me in. I kicked the door with all my might knocking him back in surprise.

I held up the my tool a case old worn blade case I grabbed the handle and pulled. Josh on the ground still shocked I could see slight fear in his eyes as the blade reflected in the faint sun light. I smiled a bit as the machete I bought at he flee market for cutting down weeds was now the object of fear in josh's eyes I pointed the blade at him "leave now or I swear josh this blade wont remain shinny and new for long get out!"

Josh was shacking and backing away "sure Ill go just calm down." I approached him trying to scare him and it working making sure to keep my distance just in case till he took off running. I sheathed the blade and walked around the front of the house proud of my victory over the bully sure it may haunt me at school but he was trespassing.

I looked at my door step to see if I could find any tampering I did however find a odd egg it was large and its color was beautiful at first I thought it was a stone it but when it was warm to the touch and felt slightly hallow I figured it must be an egg. I wondered what it could be from it was a beautiful ebony color with slight green tint to it around the top.

My curiosity got the best of me I brought it and my bully chaser inside locked the door and headed to bed. Tired and I had hours before my parents got home. I set the egg next to me in the bed I couldn't bear the thought or whatever inside of it dying I felt responsible for once even if whats inside could eat me. I certainly couldn't smash a unborn egg.

I smuggled up in the covers with the egg covering my self in blankets giggling a bit to myself. I looked at the egg I spoke out loud "don't worry Ill protect you your safe with me I suppose I should name you… hummm how about jet for the color of the egg like jet black. I hope you like it."

I held the egg close to me it felt so warm and soothing "You're my best friend jet." I drifted off to sleep.

My dreams where strangely happy not ones of fear of being laughed at or bullied or just being alone like always but I felt happy. The egg hatched in my dream and it was a beautiful creature a mighty dragon that could take human form we did everything together the dream seem to last so long till I saw jet smiling at me and he hugged me he whispered in my ear "I love you Zenith will you wake up now. Don't be afraid anymore your problems will soon be over. Thank you for a wonderful time come on please wake up."

I had tears in my eyes as I saw my dream world fading around me I was scared I didn't want to wake up and lose my best friend. But I knew I had to wake up . I slowly opened my eyes tears still in them I noticed the room was dark but I was under the covers still I didn't want to move thought I was just still shaken up by my dream. I looked to the egg to find it still there I hugged it and whispered "don't leave me alone please."

I then heard a soft voice saying "I wont" I saw the egg start to glow brightly as my room seemed to spin. I had the sensation of falling I wanted to scream but I felt a clawed hand grasp at my own hand. I Held it looking to see jet once more sure he looked different but I knew it was him my vision was all blurry so I couldn't get a good look as we fell into darkness. I heard him shout something to me.

"from now on we will always be together a team I promise you will never suffer alone again!" I smiled and hugged him the best I could as we fell I didn't care where we were going or anything the only thing I cared about was him at that moment I was happy so very happy was it true love I wonder only time will tell.
