Surreptitious Alliance: Marked by My Alien Slave

Rain pov.

"You just ruined all our hard work!" Margot's keyboard goes flying across the room, shattering into the wall as Cade dodges the device that was aimed at his head. "All you had to do was monitor. Monitor!" The green-eyed woman rages. I have no idea what actually happened but one moment the computer was filled with random code running across it and next there was a big error code and then a bright red lock appeared on all our screens.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"What happened?" I ask, the bright haze of light coming from the computer screens makes Margot look even more murderous and I think I can understand why Morgan chose her as a friend.

"He locked us out of the system." She huffs, sitting down at her desk with her head in her hands.

"So, can't you just log back in?" I carefully ask, knowing I might sound like an idiot.

"We could if we still had access to Bing. He locked us out of Bing. It's not a backdoor you saw, it's a fail safe in her firewall." Xavier mutters, looking just as defeated as Margot. "Seriously man, an amateur coder could see it's a trap." The Fairie sighs, going to type something on his computer but the dialog box he pulls up disappears after a few minutes, an error code flashing before the big red lock comes back into place.

"Bing." I call out to the computer.

"That's not go..." Margot's words dry up when the locks disappear, and a giant clock comes onto the computer screen. "What did you just do?" Her wide eyes make me a little uncomfortable, since I'm not exactly sure what I just did either. "I called him." I motion to the computer in front of me and she looks at Xavier who has a smile on his face.

"You're a walking access key." Cade mutters, surprise in his voice. "She made you a fucking access key." He sounds somewhere between bewildered and astonished. "Why didn't you say anything?" He finally grins, walking up to me and shaking my shoulders.

"I didn't know?" I'm a little confused as to what exactly is going on here.

"Rain, do you know what an access key is?" Margot asks and I shake my head. "It's a password. She made your voice a password for Bing." Margot says and I frown.

"Why would she do that?" It's not like she knew what Magnus was going to do so why would she make me a access key?

"She trusted you." Cade mutters, the room growing silent at the statement until Bing's voice breaks it.

"Rain, how may I assist you?" I look at the three and they all shrug their shoulders.

"What triggered your shut down?" I decide to ask, because I'm still not too sure what the supposed back door in the firewall Cade saw means.

"An unauthorized entry attempt into my system." He answers and I nod.

"Can you give me access to it now?"

"Access denied." The computer responds and I look at Margot who sighs

"Bing, can you give me all the information on the AS21's?" I ask and get the same response.

"Okay, so we can't hack the bots." Xavier mutters.

"But we can hack the Space sector." Cade walks away from me and takes a seat at his desk. "Remember when Morgan went to do the safeguarding of the Robots at the Space Sector?" Margot nods at his question. "She would have had to use a physical key to gain access to the bots through Bing."

"So, if we can find the keystrokes we can get into the bots?" Xavier asks, grinning like a fool.

"It could work, unless it's a one-time access key." Margot mutters, frowning as she watches Cade do whatever the fuck he's doing. "Damn." She mutters after a while, sounding defeated.

"This is Morgan we're talking about." Cade sighs, pushing away from the computer. "We need her." Understatement of the year buddy.

"Where is she?" Margot asks, narrowing her eyes at me. I look between her and Cade, knowing I can't keep them in the dark any longer. They've been here for three days, and the longer Morgan doesn't show up the harder it is going to be to lie to them and that's the last thing I want to do.

"Um... There's so much to tell you and I was hoping she could tell you herself but..." I sigh, shaking my head before I dive into the whole story, Starting with my kidnapping, going onto the whole issue of Magnus, her being a Fledgling and then ending with Magnus trapping her inside the prism.

"So, what you're saying is that she's been trapped in there for four and a half weeks and we don't know if we're ever going to see her again?" Margot asks and I nod.

"So, how do you propose we win this war then?" Cade asks a question we've all been asking since Morgan disappeared "I'm not asking to be pessimistic, but we need her. Like Sinclair is the leader for the humans and whoever she gets to stand on their side, Morgan is our leader. We're screwed without her and try as we might, which we will, we're lacking without her." He couldn't be more right.

"Is there nothing we can do to try and help her?" Margot asks and Xavier shakes his head.

"No, a prism is worse than prison. You at least know where you've stored the key should you want to set someone free. Once you're trapped by that kind of magic, not even the person that sent you there can get you out unless you learn whatever lesson they want you to learn. Perfectly sane Fairies go in and they come out broken, lacking a piece of themselves that stayed behind there. They change inside a prism. By their own choice or by force. Something inside of them changes forever." The Farie explains and my heart feels like it's going to cave in on itself.

"So, what's the longest someone has ever been trapped in one of those things?" Cade asks and I sigh.

"Forever, if the person who trapped you there dies, you're lost forever." Xavier says the words I can't bring myself to say.

"And the shortest time?" Margot asks and the answer is just as grim.

"Four months." There's a heaviness that settles on the room, the four of us just looking at each other, all of us knowing waiting that long is going to mean our death but no one brave enough to say it.
