Hack my heart

Chapter One - Join Us

Alisha

If this computer crashed one more time I was going to throw it's useless piece of crap out my four story window, and with any luck it might fall straight onto my landlords head rendering him unable to try evict me from my crappy one bedroom apartment in Oakland.

I had spent four hours straight trying to fight this virus that was running rampant, my fingers were cramping and I was about to give up when finally 'Ding'

"Thank the fucking lord" I groaned

I tied my long brown hair above my head getting it off my shoulders I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror my green eyes dull and tired

I had no clue how my computer had been infected, it was guarded up the wazoo and I wasn't one to toot my own horn but I sure wasn't a typical internet goer who downloaded illegal music and riddled my hard-drive with viruses.

It took me about two seconds to realise that there was something off, I didn't see any damage but on pure instinct u right clicked and highlighted my screen and smirked when I found a hidden file title

"DEDSEC"

I knew the name,

I had been searching for them I mean what kind of hacker would I be if I hadn't been

they were a major hacking group here in San Fransisco and they were gaining a lot of followers lately

They seemed kind of like the modern day Robin Hood in a way

Fighting for the weak and poor

Protecting them from the rich and strong people trying to manipulate them and their data selling their profiles to the highest bidder

I clicked on the file

"ALISHA REYNOLDS,

I sat for a few moments I was sure my face held a confused squint which turned to a smile

Finally they had come to me I knew they were hard to find and the only way you got in was if they thought you were worth it

There wasn't much known about the members or where they were stationed but the thing I knew was that they were something I wanted to be apart of, a place I knew I could do good

All my life I was treated like an outcast

Always with my head in a book or on a computer or even writing a song no one would ever hear

There was a time I felt like I was needed that I belonged but that time passed and turned out to be a load of shit

Now finally I had a chance to use what I had learnt and bring down that shitshow they called Blume for good

I was one of many who's profile was a pile of bogus that Blume had profiled me as

It stopped me from getting jobs, getting a home it was like a dirty shadow overcasted on me

All because of other people and situations they had put me in

No more I wouldn't let it happen

Tomorrow I would meet them

Tomorrow I would show them what I was capable of
