Chapter 2: The Strange Entity

Recap:

He clicked the button and waited for the item to be teleported. He looked at his teleporter to light up showing that the teleportation is in progress but nothing happened. He stared at the teleporter confused, and then back to his laptop to see if anything was wrong and got even more confused. There, his screen was black and there was one single word written. 'DOWNLOADING...'

This cannot be happening. It was true that you can only send a visible object through the email, but if you ever want to send an app or something, you will have to use other ways.

The only way this was possible was if the thing downloading was a virus. Aspen started a panic and tried to click the 'cancel' button, but nothing happened. Then, the screen grabbed his attention when it flashed a bright white light.

"Hello, Aspen!" Was a high pitched voice coming from the laptop. A small pixelated girl was waving at Aspen with a smile.

Aspen stared at the strange entity in shock. His mouth wide open and he asked after the slight pause, "Who... No, What are. you? You look weird, all pixelated and yeah..."

"How mean! My name is Rose and I am a," She replied, then paused and scratched her head like she was thinking. "What am I?.."

"You don't even know what you are? That's weird and kind of interesting..." Aspen muttered and thought. Could this be a video chat? But who would bother chatting with me? On a closer look, he noticed the girl's featured. Though they were pixelated, he could see that she had red hair and eyes. Strange for a normal being. Meaning that this was no video chat, unless she was wearing contact lenses and a wig. Her attire was a white dress that flowed to her knees and strapped. Red hair, red eyes and white dress. What a strange human.

"What are you doing in my phone, may I ask?" Aspen asked. "And why are your hair and eyes red? How odd."

"Huh? Your phone? Wait! Don't call me odd! I don't know why my hair and eyes are red!" Rose asked. She rested her head on her hand and replied, "I don't know. I don't remember anything. All I was doing was escaping from a dark room... Ouch!" She winced and grabbed her head. "Head. Dizzy. Painful. Ow........"

"Hey! You okay?" Aspen asked and flicked his phone screen, testing out if it would affect her. Yes, he has poor human skills. Maybe, a sadist? He likes seeing people in pain.

"Ow! Aspen! Don't do that please!" Rose winced. Her arms akimbo and her face in a pout like a child.

"Mind leaving please?" Aspen asked, getting rather impatient. He had tons of business to attend to, like a good nap after working for so long.

"Hmm... Ah! Now I remember my speech!" She exclaimed and spun around. "Hello! My name is Rose, a pretty and cute cyber girl that is now living inside your phone! Thank you for having me!"

"I already know your name and that was only twenty-two words, it is not a speech, but a greeting," Aspen replied, getting annoyed. "I never said you are allowed to stay in here."

"Well too bad, cause I am staying for life!" She said mischievously.

Aspen decided to press on her randomly, finding ways to delete her out of his phone. Rose dodged his touch by moving all around the phone. She squeaked as she tried to hide behind his applications. Aspen finally got hold of her waist and held down for a while until a 'X' appeared above her head as well as the other apps. He pressed it and a popup appeared.

Delete ROSE

Deleting ROSE would also delete all it's data.

[Delete|Cancel]

This must be the way to delete her. Aspen thought and smirked.

"P-Please don't..." Rose shuttered and begged on her knees. She was starting to look more glitchy.

So she is a bug after all. Aspen thought and pressed delete without hesitating. Rose bugged out from his screen and he shut his phone down before more messages like that could appear. With that, he went to rest.

"Good morning Aspen!" Came the annoying squeaky voice again when Aspen got up from his nap.

'Haven't I hear that somewhere?' Aspen thought as he scanned the room for the source of the sound. He saw his phone lighting up with an annoyingly familiar face.

"What are you doing here! I thought I deleted you?" Aspen shrieked as he looked into Rose's pixilated face.

"Oh hi Aspen. That was rude. A simple hi would have been nice. Oh well, leaving that aside, I am still glad that you did not delete me. I actually thought you were going to do that." Rose said with a soft voice that made her seem vulnerable.

"But... I actually deleted you. I pressed the damn delete button! What the hell happened?" Aspen sighed in distress.

"Oh, I am not sure, after you clicked on whatever button you pressed and shut your phone down. I found myself in a new place with a ton of data of an app called 'Weapon Crush' and found my way back here. By the way, I read through the whole entire app data. It's best if you do not download it, some evil person will brainwash you and control you," Rose said.

"That's the app I created," Aspen said bluntly. Rose eyes widen in shock.

"What... You created it? W..Why? Why would you do such a thing?" Rose asked, a tint of red surrounded her like those cartoon characters. "You are the worse!" She crouched down and weep. She covered her face and digital tear drops slipped down her face. Aspen stared at her and averted his eyes.

"Good question, don't you know about the terrors of the world? How corrupted everyone has become? I do and I want to change that," Aspen explained briefly.

"I don't know. I don't know for how long I was in that black room, but ever since I woke up, that was where I have been. I don't remember anything else except for the things I read in that room," Rose replied, she looked at Aspen with sad eyes.

"What black room are you talking about? You said something about that before," Aspen asked.

"I'm not sure either, but that is where I woke up long ago, I don't know how long ago though, but a very long time ago. It is a small dark room, about the size of your room. There are no windows, the walls are black and there is a locked door. No matter how hard I pulled or pushed, it would not open," Rose explained. "It was only a while ago before I entered your phone when the door creaked open and I found myself in your phone. From what was installed in my head before I left that room was that a huge gateway was opened."

That must be my app... I created my app to branch out greatly on the internet so I can connect to each human easily... So she's here because of the app? Aspen thought. Whatever it is... Is this girl really a bug?
