Why Is My Pen Blinking Red Novels & Stories

It is a specific type of red led, too flashy and as penetrating as a laser beam to play with cats. Suddenly, I feel alert, and my stomach seems to rebel inside my body in a deep fear. "Should I worry about this little red ball rising towards the back of your neck? "His shoulders get tense, and he freezes. "Because if I'm not mistaken, that's a...”

It's my precious pen which my sister Lassya had gifted me back in my school time. How do I know it's mine when there are plenty of similar pens on the market? Well, back in the school when I had got my pen back all thanks to Avi, I had put an identity sign on it by glueing a red stone on the head of the pen cap. The pen in Maverick's hand has the same stone on the head of the pen cap. No wonder it's mine but to my surprise, it's all safe like it was brought yesterday. Why does it seem like he has taken care of this pen, like his life? But why would he do that in the first place?

Just the soft hush of sleeping wolves recovering from a night of frenzy. I step into the monitor room and flick on the lights. The screens buzz to life, glowing with the grainy black-and-white images of the grounds. I scan each feed carefully. Every Omega is asleep, curled into nests or sprawled in tangled sheets. No Betas. No Gammas. Nothing moving. The grounds are still. And yet one of the warning lights is blinking. I lean in, narrowing my eyes as I try to pinpoint the movement it’s flagged. Nothing looks off. No shadows. No sound. Just the red flash at the corner of the screen, pulsing steadily like a heartbeat.

Seated directly beside David’s representative. I grabbed a red pen from my folder, circled it once, then underlined it twice. "Let’s see who blinks first," I whispered.

AVA ​The glowing green indicator on my secondary monitor wasn't supposed to blink. ​It was five in the morning. The penthouse was filled with the soft, comforting scent of warming vanilla milk and the rhythmic, distant breathing of Blake and Brooke sleeping in the nursery. Justice was at the kitchen island, quietly reviewing his molecular chemistry flashcards for the Denmark decathlon, a highlighter clamped between his teeth. Everything was peaceful. Everything was routine. ​Then, the unobtrusive background program Marcus had inadvertently taught me to build two years ago in Philadelphia let out a sharp, silent crimson pulse.

The scanner hummed and lit up blue. Then a line of red text flashed across the screen: [Authentication failed: This blood seal was already used at 2:00 a.m. today. Each applicant's blood seal may only be used once.] My brow tightened. I put my finger back in. Same message. My stomach dropped. "What's wrong?" Damien stopped flipping the coin and leaned in to read the screen. "Your blood seal's already been used?" I bit my lip. My fingers were trembling a little. "That's not possible."

I walk towards that corner of the room and I was right, a glass box with a golden pen in it. This pen! This pen looks familiar. Why does it look so familiar? As I try to recollect where I have seen the pen from, a sharp pain hits my head and I become dizzy, my vision becomes blurry and the last thing I hear before passing out, is my name.

"You do that, wolf. Now come on. We've lingered long enough. I'm surprised we haven't been called out for loitering. It's almost lights out." Turning to face the other way, they began their prisoner march, entering a zone under surveillance. Or not. "This is odd," Stu said, a frown between his brows as he stared up at the camera. No red light flashed. "The camera in this hall is dead." Patricia peeked to where he pointed. "How can you tell?" "This model has a blinking red light to show when they're functioning. It's an easy way to spot when maintenance is required, or if they go offline, especially in places where the cameras don't always have someone manning them."

"I wish I could just sleep right now" "Me too," Jabal said, yawning "Me three" Ariana answered Jasmine hissed and turned to face them. 'You all are..." She stopped talking "Are you tired of talking?" Jabal mocked She hissed. "Ariana your bracelet is blinking". Ariana groaned. "Ari, it's showing red" Ariana opened her eyes, quickly. Did Jasmine just say red?. She stared at it in shock. That's Mira telling her that there is danger. She held the bead showing the red. "Mira?. Is anything the matter?"

I know what he’s going to say and beat him to it. “Don’t say sorry Mr. Adair.” I say shaking my head. He closes his mouth and bites his lower lip and a laugh escapes my own lips. He looks so damn cute. “What?” He asks quietly taking a seat at the end of my bed. “Nothing.” I blush. I’m not going to tell him that I just thought he looked cute. I’ve already embarrassed myself in front of him plenty of times. Silence lingers between us and all that is heard are the beeping sounds of my heart shown on the monitor. I hope he doesn’t come close to me, because this thing is going to start beeping like crazy.
