He was dying. The man Morpheus believed to be the One… To the Hell Morpheus! The man she loved was dying and she could do nothing. It was weird how timed seemed to stop. Trinity could swear even her heart had stopped beating. Only her mind continued to work, billions of thoughts crossed it every moment. Billions of absolutely useless thoughts. There was nothing she could do. And then it hit her. There was one thing. Thing she swore she would never do.
"Neo, I'm not afraid anymore." Words flowed easily, now that she finally made her decision. "The Oracle told me that I would fall in love, and that that man, the man that I loved, would be the One. So you see, Neo, you can't be dead. You can't be. Because I love you." And then she kissed him. To show him she really meant it, to prove him she was telling the truth.
When his heart started to beat again she didn't know what she wanted more to laugh or to cry. "Now get up!" That was unnecessary, but she couldn't risk. Morpheus still had his hand on EMP switch and every moment counted. It looked like the eternity had passed, when Neo answered the phone. "Now!" The speed, with which Morpheus turned the EMP on, showed how little patience had left in him.
And then Neo kissed her. And she kissed him back. After all, she did love him. She had told him the truth. And yet she had lied. She could remember her first meeting with the Oracle like it was only yesterday. From all the things she wanted to forget it most, and she remembered it best.
Oh, how nervous was she then. She - recently freed girl with great ambitions - was actually going to meet the Oracle - legend of resistance itself. She could still remember that taste of unreasonable fear. Like she could foresee what happened next. Because she was even more nervous after that meeting.
"You are special one, Trinity. Oh, yes you are. You are the one to decide the fate of the world. You'll know when this day comes. And then you'll have to make the choice. It won't be easy, I'll tell you. In order to achieve your goal you'll have to lie. Even more, you'll have everyone to believe in your lie. Morpheus, Council, zionites, someone who refuses to believe it… Everyone. Including you. You'll have to believe in your words yourself. Only by making the lie come true, you'll achieve what you want. Otherwise… Let's say you don't want to know, what happens otherwise."
To make lie come true. Well, her words weren't actually a lie. She did love him. And she did believe he was the One. She had told it to Cypher before, she had told it to Morpheus… She did believe and she didn't need prophecy for it. But she could understand if Neo needed it. Then be it. If he needed the prophecy to believe in his powers, then this prophecy will exist. No one knew she was lying but Oracle. And Oracle will never say anything. "Everyone has to know only his own fate". That's what she used to say. So be it. Yet another prophecy came true. And who cares how did that sound precisely. Definitely not her.
For the first time in years she knew everything for sure. Neo was the One and she loved him. Nothing else mattered. No more voices in her head, no more hunting dreams. Trinity smiled in her mind and continued to kiss Neo. The rest of the world could wait.
