I Now Realize

Chapter 3: Access Denied (Part 1 out of 1)

Writing a story is tough. DX And I took the whole Thanksgiving break to type chapter two and three. Sorry for publishing late. I hope you guys enjoy this story so far!

Astoroth's POV

"What?!" I stood from my leather chair and banged at the table in fury. Violet flinched in guilt as I yelled, but I didn't care. Tony went behind Violet in fear. Darius's eyes showed carelessness as he stared at me. "How could you not trace them?! No tracker device? You didn't tap any of their phones? Shot a GPS chip on them? None of the above?!" I glared at the three. "No, sir, none of the above." Violet tried to sound calm, but I can tell she was nervous. "And why not?" My fingers tapped the metal table impatiently until Tony timidly spoke. "I thought...I could track them down, s-sir. I wanted to help." Violet widened her eyes. "Brother, don't-" Tony shook his head. 'Leave the blame to me, sis. I will deal with this.' I read Tony's mind as he mind communicated with Violet, but both didn't know I read their minds... 'What do you mean?' Violet seemed confused as I sneered at Tony, making him shut up. 'Never mind, sis. We can talk later.' Violet nodded. I crossed my arms, trying to calculate a little plan as always. "Alright... For the moment, I will leave it as it is. You and Darius may leave. I would like to talk to Tony for a while." Violet and Darius opened the door and left. I made sure nobody was around and closed the door. I pinned Tony to the wall, pulling him about a foot from the floor and had my hand wrapped around his neck. "You remember our little deal, right, Seven?" Tony lowered his ears and nodded. "Good. You're helping me a lot, making progress. You break the deal, your sister is dead." Tony struggled to hit me, but compared to my strength, he looked like he barely tried to push me. I only choked him. He some what struggled to speak. "You forced me to do this. Y-you blackmailed me by- argh!" He kept struggling to speak as I added a little more pressure to his neck. "By involving my sister in this. She...she doesn't deserve to carry this situation." His speech only made me chuckle. "And that is why you will do as I say. Now, do me a favor, will you? Remember that laptop Alue and her friends brought?" Tony slightly nodded. "Here are my keys to my office. Bring that laptop to me." I let go of him, letting his face hit the floor. He slowly grabbed the keys and glared at me. "I hate you." I smirked. "I like you, too. Now get that laptop..."

Tony's POV

"What did you and Astoroth talk about?" My sister asked me. "Nothing much. It wasn't important, really." I shrugged. She softly ruffled my hair and the look in her orange eyes saddened. "I don't know what happened to you. You were so socializing. Now, it's like you're starting to push people away. I wish you could...be you again." I bit my lip and looked down. I didn't know what to say. "But, hey," I looked at my sister as she wanted to tell me something. "Here." She gave me a onyx chained necklace that had a dog tag. The dog tag had three merged letters. I looked confused. "Y.N.A?" My sister smiled at me like a mother. "It means 'You're Never Alone'." I smiled and hugged my sister. "Thanks. I won't take it off. And I have to go, I will be a bit busy." My sister waved at me as I ran to Astoroth's office.As I entered in his office, I tried to not only find the laptop, but a few clues as well. More like...proof? I'm tired of being experimented. I know Alue and her friends are not murders. And proving that will get me killed, but I could care less. I scanned through Astoroth's files and something caught my eye. The tab of the file folder said 'Frame and Gain'. I put latex gloves on so that Astoroth wouldn't find my fingerprints. I saw a printer and took the papers out, making a second copy of the papers. After the copies were printed, I tucked my shirt, folded the copies and stuffed them in my shirt. I carefully put the file and the original papers back in their place. I grabbed the laptop and left Astoroth's office...

Astoroth's POV

As Seven, which is the way I call Tony, handed me the laptop, I pushed him out of my lounge room. "Can you download the information?" Casey looked over my shoulder. I scowled. "Of course, you idiot. I've waited long enough." I tried to type in the password, but it was invalid. I typed another password. Again, invalid. What the...? There must be another way. I typed 'decrypt' as the password and the laptop finally accepted. I started messing with the data bases until something popped up. Casey read the message aloud. "You are not allowed to access the encrypted data. Please try again. Countdown to three...two...one." The laptop immediately shut down and electrified my fingers, which made me cuss and flip the table. "That 'girl' encrypted it! She must have done something so that she would be the only one to access it!" Casey stared at me as if I was a monster. Which I am, I won't deny. "But, sir, wouldn't we have to use something against her?" A light bulb popped in my head. I smirked and crossed my arms. "You're right, Casey. And I'm now thinking of a plan..."
