How did I get here? She sighed knocking on the front door of a three story pent house. She stared down at her shoes , black mary janes and long black thigh highs that went under the skirt of her black lace dress. She was dressed like a gothic Lolita that belonged in a manga in the year 2000. She frowned black ribbons in her hair that came past her shoulders in waves falling into her eyes. This was certainly the first time she had worn a dress in years , and now the one she was wearing made her look like a 14 year old vampire or something of some sort. She bit her bottom lip as he answered the door. A man of perfect though she had read somewhere that he hadn’t altered his original body format somehow she found that hard to believe. At six even her five feet made her feel even younger staring up at him. How in the world had she let them talk her into this. He frowned inspecting her tugging at the note that was attached to a ribbon around her slender neck. Inscribed on it in green ink were these words. I give this AI unit to you in hopes that you will love her more then I have , Im sad to say her card was first booted in an older model and has way to much data from the year 2000 saved in her .Unfortunately I have no need of a unit of this level of it’s own intelligence with an out dated culture perhaps she could be of more use in your collection sincerely Alteract.
She stared out at him long black hair falling just beneath his chin rustled and unkempt l like he had just bothered to get out of bed and frowned. She hadn’t expected him to be so normal , but in the weeks to come her distress had grown since that first day. She had suspected after he took one look at her eyes he had registered she had to defiantly be a robot , deep violet hues with green rings around the outside it had been a model he had made after all ; Except in passing days he had teased her to an against that he either believed her mind had truly developed to the black box stage or he knew she wasn’t just a robot or even a robot perhaps. In all her years at the HAR she had never had this much trouble with a case. Of course it would be the largest and most important that would be her downfall. Her work with Alteract had been easy enough. All she had to do was play a dutiful assistant and factual AI and he had let her in told her the secrets and lead her to the next step in the path… But laying in the bed and staring at her target in the pale moonlight it didn’t seem so easy anymore. The lines had defiantly started to blur. . A madman who created AI’s for a living and at least had put his own brain into one so that he might continue his work. He didn’t look much like a madman in his sleep though did he? She stared down at his chin length black hair spilling out over the pillow it was strange how they had developed the last stages of AI’s before the use of human like ones had become illegal . Real hair though you could choose any color and thickness , flesh warm and thick with muscle over laying an electronic bone structure. Fluids that cooled on the inside the machine parts ran back on their way to the heart of the machine on the outside creating a realistic blood warming effect. It was amazing that after everything about how technology was better more efficient , perfection with out the humans flaws that they had used the core design of a real human body to create some of the greatest and most life like robots. She frowned down at him , she was an assassin of m any kinds but most of all of pure robots and AI’s the very thing he had created or at least took to the next level.. He was the one who was purely responsible for them taking over so in heart he was also responsible for their destruction. She tilted her head staring at his sleeping form half naked in the pale moonlight She leaned against the backboard of the bed lighting a cigarette and biting down on her bottom lip. She was told to contact them as soon as she discovered the project name. But here she was staring down at his sleeping form rethinking her entire lifestyle. At first it was easy in the year 3000 when they starting taking over in mass quantities not just demanding freedom or simply killing their masters but killing others , wiping out entire families including the children asleep in their beds. In those days after watching her brother ripped limb from limb hiding beneath that old mattress watching the blood stain quickly soak through and start to drip it was easy to hate. It was a guilt free task when she picked up that gun that had been hidden beneath the box spring along the wooden frame. It wasn’t a hard task at all to shoot them between the eyes and watch them spark on her bedroom floor. Nor was their a problem when she joined the ranks fighting to take back the city, or when she was scouted for Humans against robots or HAR as she loved to call it. age The pay was great and the job was easy knock off the robots before they knocked off the human race , five to a team 16 teams to the world and she had been chosen for the ranks. It was an honor even to be one of the trained few amongst the humans. But as the years passed the more realistic they became the better the AI units were it grew harder. With the years they developed more and more technology in the ways and then their was the whole black box theory amongst the scientist about the new AI’s made with human cells. She wouldn’t get into all of that though the point of the matter was they weren’t just robots anymore and even harder some of them had once been natural born humans. The world had become gray once again and her breed was dying, but the strong just got bloodier or so she thought and watched .For some reason she grew softer. “A told you not to smoke in bed” She blinked as a mans voice filled her thoughts shaking her up out of bed. She hadn’t even lit the damn thing yet and he woke as she was just about to. “How’d you know I was going to light it?” A warm laughter was her response and she sighed frowning at him. “I thought your model wasn’t programmed to frown” . She shook her head at him sliding out of bed half naked black bra and gray boxers gazing over to him.” And I thought we established my mind was over 1000 years old , as old as you I might add “ She lit the lucky in her hand then blowing gray smoke at through her nose staring at him with her head tilted to the side. “I thought I told you Not to smoke it in bed” She smirked then shaking her head at him taking another long drag pulling that cherry further up the cigarette and eating into it with a red glow in the darkened room.. “Im not in bed, im standing next to it Gene.”
He frowned at her then leaning out of bed as the sheet slid down his body leaving more of his form naked sliding to just bellow his waist. She watched captivated and was being dragged back into bed by slender digits that had wrapped around her wrist tugging her back onto the mattress. She squeaked falling onto it and watching as her cig was stolen out of her hands. “Why did you stop calling me master anyways? Alex how much longer do you expect me to keep pretending I don’t know who you really are?” She blinked that had been the first time in weeks she had heard her real name being used she watched as he put her lucky out frowning vaguely. “Maybe I lost my view of reality , and that’s probably why I never noticed you marking me the first day I arrived.” He sighed dragging her nearer and pulling her against his chest brushing her hair out of her eyes with one hand warm and comforting but the other was holding her knife from under the mattress against her stomach cold and inviting a feeling she had treasured as she cleaned it nightly when she wasn’t under cover ,but now it wasn’t her hand wrapped around its handle and the blade was pressed against her tender flesh and not someone else. “You’re a fool you know that right ? To have let it go on but perhaps im a fool to I let you in and I told you the truth , perhaps to test you to see if I could keep you but even still I can’t trust you not to finally betray me and alert them. Or for them to finally get impatient and wonder what happened to one of their best operatives when they’ve already lost five to me.” She slid her hand over his fingers still tightly wound around the knife’s hilt .”Maybe I knew I was going to die here anyway and I decided to take you with me in a sense of if you didn’t bother to run I wasn’t going to move either… Maybe it was even more foolish that I haven’t contacted them in a week but this just isn’t working is it Gene. I thought this would be a simple open shut mission but you were nothing like they made you out to be , your normalWith that he slipped the blade against her throat slicing open her throat and spilling her blood onto the bed leaning his lips over hers kissing her softly as the life flooded out of her body. She knew this was what was going to happen and yet still she couldn’t help but ask the question.” How did I get here?” When the apartment was raided they found four …” he frowned brushing his other hand over her cheek warmly pressing the flat of his palm against her cheek and sliding it down to her neck. “ Maybe it was wrong of me to fall in love with my target but is it so bad to want to end my life with actually knowing what love is?” He slid the blade up her stomach slowly reaching her throat her hand on his the whole time. “I know it could never be but what little time I stole should be worth something.”. He shook his head at her words and kissed the top of her head.” If you’ve really decided to retire then ill end it for you , but forgive me please when it’s all said and done, I was planning on leaving tomorrow anyway one more operative for them to find wont be much of a surprise to them, goodnight Alex.” . bodies in the walls and one that was left to rest peacefully on the bed not more then a day old they had been to late yet again to save an operative though it was chilling how close they had been to saving her. “Paul I didn’t…, im sorry I know you were going to ask her to marry you after this assignment was through. She had mentioned retiring I think she would of said yes., but at least it appears she wasn’t ill treated in her time on this one , and what data she did send will be very useful to finally nailing him.” The man shook his head Alex had to of been treated very nicely or she would have struggled , she would have seen this coming he knew she could never be so careless as to be killed with her own blade.
“Were almost there…quit trying to peak its not funny you weren’t even programmed to wake up yet.” She laughed softly looking up at him lifting a hand off her eyes black hair falling over the violet hues. “When have I ever listened to programming? Besides when did you ever listen Gene… Im still alive aren’t I idiot” . He laughed softly setting her down on the deck of a small beach house over looking the ocean the cottage was alone amongst a few others and miles and miles of white sand. He kissed the top of her head then leaning over her small body to unlock the door. “ That’s because I couldn’t let you go , and you did die there is proof a body even , just because your mind lives on doesn’t mean you haven’t died in some way Alex.” .She laughed stepping barefoot into the house and onto the wooden floor . “Shh your ruining the moment.”…
