Why are people afraid of computers?

I'm not sorry

Joey POV

"Where is it?! Guys, the flashdrive is gone!" I hear someone scream, awakening me from my sleep. Along with that, I hear more voices also carry concern. What are they looking for again? I roll over and almost fell off the couch, startling me completely awake.

"I'm up! I, am up." I say, jumping to my feet. I look around to see everybody tossing things in a panic. "Um, what's going on?" I ask.

Alex whips her head around to stare at me. "The flashdrive for the house of horrors is missing!" she yells.

I throw my hands up in surrender mode and explain what happened last night.

"So, I decided to just give it to her while she was right there." I tell them.

Mia came up to me and slapped me upside the head...ridiculously hard I might add. My arms come up to protect my head in case she wanted to come in for a second blow. "What did you do that for?" I ask.

She gives me a look that says I should know, but I just gave a small shrug, looking for an explanation. "What if Ian say you and her talking? Don't you think it would have been suspicious? The whole plan could be ruined because of that stupid stunt!"

"I know it could be, but I don't think he saw us. And besides, she said that she was in trouble with him and that she was going to be in big troub-" My mouth falls open in remembrance of that.

"What is it?" Zen asks.

"Y/n said she had tried to drown him last night and that action was going to cost her big time today. I couldn't just leave her completely defenseless. I hope she is able to stop him in time before anything happens." I say.

Unfortunately for Joey and Y/n, the punishment had already gone through before she could stop him.

Y/n POV

You had woken up hours ago to have been cleaned up, redressed, and laid on the now clean bed. You had not moved since you opened your eyes, too scared to make any noise to let Ian know that you are awake. After what he did to you, you want him nowhere near you. All you can think about is your family, Ryu, and how this sh*t house is going to pay as soon as you stick that drive up his a**.

Thinking of which, you have to find a port to plug it in at. You close your eyes and think through your entire memories of this house, you had to have seen a usb plug somewhere in this damn house. Then it hit you. They are all over the house, and this was the reason why. It is what Joey said after all.

The only thing is, ever since Ian went out of control, you had not seen any of them. However, if memory also serves, last night you felt something along the back of his neck, something like a plug in of sorts.

You don't want to be close to him at all, but if that is the only place that you'll be able to reach, you sure as hell are going to do what it takes to take him down.

Your mental planning is interrupted by Ian walking in, a tray full of food being carted in one hand. Funny how he really looks like a butler at this moment with the way he is carrying himself. You could not see him more than your captor...your defiler at this point now.

"Good morning beautiful, I brought you something to eat." He says and set the tray on the small nightstand beside the bed. You just stare at him as he made his way over and refused to flinch when he was close.

Quickly thinking, you ask him if he could open the blinds to let in the sun and with a small smile he walks to the window and opens the curtains and twists the blinds. You look at the back of his neck and can tell there is something there. Disappointingly, you couldn't tell what it was thanks to the length of his hair in the back.

You had to calm down if you wanted to see the back of his neck, you had to, unfortunately, get close to him.

"How are you feeling?" he asks, once again snapping you out of your thoughts.

"Sore." You say, voice cracking a bit.

He gives you a sad smile, looking guilty more than anything. "I'm sorry my dear, would you like a massage to help things?"

"No. I'll be fine." You say through gritted teeth. You didn't want him to look at you, let alone touch you.

"I do have a question though." You say in, what you hoped was, an uninterested tone.

He raised an eyebrow at you, insinuating for you to continue.

"What is that thing on the back of your neck? I felt it there last night." You say.

Ian gives you a small laugh. "It's my charging port. I have to plug in sometimes in order to keep up with you." He grins.

It's your turn to raise a brow now. "I have never seen you charge at all. I didn't even know that you needed too."

"Ah, it is a most vulnerable moment for me. I am completely at your mercy when I am on that port."

You could only make a face that shows the stupidity that you had just heard. He Just told you when he was the weakest, when he could not fight back. It had to be the most idiotic detail for him to tell the one person who has been fighting him tooth and nail. You began to think it wasn't a 'smart house' after all.

"Ahem." You hear Ian make the interrupting noise. You look back at him in question only to see his face is holding a serious expression.

"I do not place my self on the charge until you are locked up and asleep. I know what is going through your head and I advise against trying. It will only lead back to another...play session. And I am sure you probably don't want that."

You didn't. By him just saying that almost sent you into panic mode. "No, I don't. So now what? Now that you've completely disregard my feelings of many matters, what's to happen now?" you question him.

He walks back over to you and sits on the bed close to your feet. "Now we go back to how things are supposed to be. With me taking care of your needs, and you relaxing." His hand reaches out to rub your leg, but you move it before he could.

"It will never be that way again. You made sure of that." You say, glaring at Ian.

He just shakes his head, "We have plenty of time to get back that way. I am sorry for forcing you to step down from being my mistress for a bit, but you can go back to being in charge!" Ian says with a bit of desperateness in his voice.

You scoot off the bed and walk towards your dresser. Being as discreet as you could, you reach in and grab the flash drive and a pair of socks to conceal it. With as much hatred as you were carrying, you still had focus on what you needed to do.

Maybe more planning would be better instead of just taking a chance, but you fear for the worst. If he finds it, if you fail, you will not be able to go through the next consequence unscathed. He may possibly kill you with your constant uncooperative behavior.

A quick and scatterbrained idea forms in your head as you face him. Clenching your teeth, you know you may be fixing to ruin any chance of escape, but maybe he will be more blind to your plan with his unbridled devotion. You walk back towards him and hand him the socks, instantly crossing your arms to hide the drive. You plop back down on the bed, hands balling up the sheets to make sure your device is hidden.

"Would you kindly put my socks on?" You say with a slight demanding tone.

Ian doesn't hesitate, ready to do anything you ask of him. It makes you wonder if he is fixing to play you for a fool, but you know how to test it.

He kneels in front of you, gently grabs your right foot, and slides one sock on. He leans forward to press a kiss to your leg. It makes you shudder in disgust, but you fear it may have been mistaken for something else to the android.

You refuse to give anymore sounds to him as he does the same exact thing to your left leg after putting the sock on. This time, however, he moves further up your leg and you know what's going to happen if you don't stop it.

Using the hand that does not have the flashdrive, you go to touch his head. He instantly grabs you hand, stopping it from further advancement. Without even looking at you, he brings it close to his face, which is still between your legs. He kisses the palm of your hand before placing it in his hair.

He thought you had something in your hand. He was checking, like you knew he would. You run your hand through his hair, and you cannot help but feel like you want to tear the hair out of his head.

You feel his lips crawl further up your legs and coming close to the corner of your shorts. You push his head away, ready to abandon your plan and try again later. He has a different plan instead though. He grabs your legs and pulls you further off the bed, your legs falling over his shoulders, putting he face close to your core. His fingers dance along the edge of your shorts.

You need to stop him; this is not what you want to happen.

You grab the flashdive from the sheets and sit up quick, throwing Ian off guard. You slam the drive into the back of his neck causing him to instantly throw you off him. He starts spazzing out, his torso elongating and his extra limbs coming out grasping at whatever he could to stable himself.

"W-w-what ha-have you do-ne?!" He screams. His voice distorting the whole time. He reaches out for you but you jump away from him.

"This is the end for you Ian. I refuse for you to keep me here anymore. I don't need you, I hate you, and you are never controlling me again!" you yell at him.

He gives a face of heartache, but you ignore him and run towards the door. "No, pl-please come ba-back!" He screams. He tries to stand, but his legs can't support him.

You make it out the door and run towards the basement. With Ian being in an unstable state, you can finally check and see for yourself if Ryu was dead.

You swing the door open and run down the stairs. "Ryu?!" you scream for him. As you glance around, you hear a groan from under the stairs. You look and see your dear friend looking nearly lifeless. He is running on the last bit of energy that he has, and it is not much.

You rush to his side and try to help him up, but he screams in pain. You hear him mumble that his bones are broken, and he can't move.

You're not about to give up, but you hear a chilling voice through the speakers that litter through the house. "I will no-t let y-you leave wi-th him. He w-will d-d-die with m-m-me."

You watch in horror as several metal arms come from the wall. One drags you away from Ryu as the rest wrap around each limb. They start to pull, and it looks as though Ian plans to pull him apart, however, the limbs fall lifeless to the floor, dropping your friend in the process.

The entire house goes silent and you cannot help but cry in joy as the viruses finally took him down. You run back to Ryu and tell him to hold on, that you are going for help and that he will be ok. With that, you run back up the stairs and leave the house, heading straight for your friends to get a phone to call for an ambulance.

Timeskip 2 months

As you make your way to the hospital, you can't help but think of how far you had come since you had been held hostage. You have been doing surprisingly good mentally since you have been seeing a therapist.

The house was torn down just days after the incident, Ian finally being eradicated to the full extent. It was a relief and a great weight taken off your shoulders.

And your friends?

Ryu has finally been released from his sleep in the hospital after a few months. The staff had to put him in an induced coma with his injuries being so sever. They honestly did not think he was going to make it at first, but his body refused to quit.

Ryu's family was ready to sue Zen, but he offered to just give them however much they wanted along with taking care of all the medical bills and extra help for Ryu. They agreed and worked out a nice deal with him. He, in other words, just wanted to keep thing on the hush hush.

Joey, Ryan, Mia, and Alex still live in their hometown, taking time out of their day every now and again to come down and visit you and Ryu at the hospital. It's where you stayed half the time anyway.

And then, You. You only left home to go see Ryu and your doctor. You stopped looking for another place to live as the last living situation was pretty bad. You'll give it a few more years, and your parents couldn't be happier. They decided that you can just live with them forever, no complaint from them.

It feels so good to be back with normality...or at least what you can consider normal. You're still a little scared to be anywhere near technology since that was how Ian worked. Your connection with the internet and social media dwindled down. You have, instead, chose to pick up other hobbies, such as book reading, crocheting, and drawing. Anything else, as long as you are away from anything technical.

You stop walking as you arrive and stare at the hospital. Ryu has been here for two months and in twenty minutes, the doctor is going to wake him up. You couldn't wait to hang out with him again and get back to old times.

You walk through the door and go to the elevator. You would usually take the stairs just to get a bit of extra exercise, but you have a few things in your hand that you wanted to bring Ryu, like his favorite soda and some good home cooked food.

You check the time on your phone as you go to click the button and feel a shock go through your body. You drop your phone from the jolt, scaring you good. You bend down to grab your phone when you see that it is glitching out. Thinking nothing of it, you reach down and grab it. When you get back up, you catch the lights in the elevator flicker before going back to normal.

The elevator begins to move and you feel your heart pick up as your lifted to his floor. When the elevator stops and opens, you watch as several nurses run down the hall and towards Ryu's room

Time slowed down as you move down the hall that holds Ryu's door. The staff throw it open and rush inside. The sound of a flat heart rate ringing out. His parents run out the room, tears pouring down their face. The staff follow, pushing his bed out of the room and running down the hall to the elevators.

Everything in your hand, crashes to the floor, you follow and land on your knees. You glance back at your phone to see it still acting up, but this time, there are words flickering on the screen.

"Mine"

Anybody here Bioshock fans? Did you catch the reference?? (It's my favorite game btw)

Here it is! After many moons and difficult times, I have finally finished this story. It has been a fun little adventure, but it is now at its end. I will probably go back and revise and add more to the chapters to fill and fluff out a bit in the future (especially since the ending feels a little rushed). Thank you all for being patient with me and sticking to the story to the very end. It has been a blast writing it!
