Freedom?

"Hold up what's going on here", I asked Jessica.

"I'll tell you what's going on here, Jessica was sent to kill you, she has no emotions, she's a cold blooded assassin", Samantha said as she pointed at Jessica.

"I was talking to Jessica not you Samantha, now could you let her speak ", I said to Samantha.

"It's fine Luis don't fight with your friend because of me, all she said was true", She said.

"Wait why", I asked her.

"I can't reveal that information to you but all I can tell you is that I...I...I am sorry, I didn't want to kill you again when I saw the good heart you have, somehow it made me long for one and I stopped I... I... I", she said as she started sparking and eventually put her head down as if she had shut down.

"What happened to her", Samantha asked me.

"Why are you acting like you care", I asked her as I paced back and forth.

"I thought maybe I would do this to help you", she said.

"wow look at what she says, you know what Samantha if you want to stay here please don't talk I'm trying to concentrate okay", I said to her as I held her shoulders for a moment and eventually released them.

I could tell she could notice that something was wrong with me. She looked at me right in the eyes and could see a bit of flames in them. Honestly I didn't know what was getting me angry but all I knew was that I was confused, I was so confused I couldn't think straight at all.

Why would she want to kill me? , Does she know I am the person who had taken down some of the robots, Wait if she does know then she knows I have superpowers right?, I asked myself as I kept on looking at Samantha.

I eventually realised that Samantha was still staring at my eyes and I could tell my eyes were giving something away.

"Umm sorry about that", I said to her as I turned away and cleaned my eyes.

"Oh it's ok, I mean I just realized how you felt when I... I mean I", She said before Jessica turned back on.

"Jessica, you are back what happened ", I asked her as I ran to her and placed my hand on her back.

"I'm fine, please don't hate me, I don't want to do this anymore, I can't", She replied as she held my hand.

"Look I'm not sure you'd be doing that anymore, you're one of those special robots, you defied the direct instructions programmed into your memory chip and now you are writing a new one something no robot no AI has ever done. It's like you are human now", I said to her as I held her hands as well.

"Ok I'd be going home now, Luis", Samantha said.

"Ok sure", I said as I sounded completely uninterested.

"Oh ok", Samantha said as she left sad.

Jessica and I also left the place as we kept on walking around the city. Then I smelled something familiar, in fact I noticed the smell since we left and it was becoming worse. Then I turned to Jessica and noticed that the smell was from her head. It was smoke.

"Jessica your head, smoke", I said as I pointed to her head in shock.

"Yes a self destruct chip was placed in my head once I go against my instructions", she said as she looked up.

"No way, so how many minutes do you have left, I bet Stephen can help you, quick let's go meet Stephen", I said to her as I held her hand and ran to my house since it was close by.

I sneaked into the house with Jessica to avoid anyone from my family disturbing me with questions and went to our hideout.

"Stephen, Jessica she's about to self destruct or something is there something you can do", I asked him.

"I knew it, but why are you asking me to help her", He asked me back.

"Just help her", I said ignoring his question.

"Ok ok fine", He said as he brought out his tools and started examining her head.

I sat down and thought about the number of things that happened today. For the first time in a while I felt like someone actually reached my heart but she ended up being a robot and all that with Samantha. I felt like I've endangered our young friendship yet again. I'm so confused I don't know what to do. I felt so sleepy, no dizzy. Everything was very blurry until...
