WARNING:
SPOILERS FOR MATRIX REVOLUTIONS AND RELOADED!!
This time it's from Trinity's POV after the crash of the Logos.
I stared at the sky, for the
first time in my life, my worries momentarily forgotten. I wish so much that
Neo could see what I was seeing, the thought of him blind was killing me inside
to know that I would never be able to stare into his beautiful eyes again.
After several seconds I realized that the ship had no power and we were
descending fast.
"Pump the igniter, the ship
will start." He said. I pumped the igniter, my heart beating wildly as I
began to continue the motion more frantically, as fear began to grip me.
"Again, slowly. Now!" He said. I did as told and the ship regained
power and I gripped the steering, pulling down in an attempt to rise back up
and turned sharply to avoid the structure that was before us, but it was too
late.
The impact thrusted me
foreword, but was immediately thrown back as an intense pain like no other
gripped my abdomen, my arm and one of my legs. I was pinned to the ground and I
looked up to see the long metal rods that were impaled into my body. I heard
Neo's voice frantically calling my name and I took a deep breath and responded,
struggling to keep my voice steady.
"I'm here"
"Where?" He asked. I
watched him as he blindly made his way over to me.
"Here." I said again.
His hand fell upon mind and we held on to each other's hands tightly. I knew
that I was going to die, and it tore me apart to think that I would never feel
his warm embrace again, but I wasn't afraid to die. Neo had given me everything
I could have ever wanted and more, I knew I could die knowing that my life had
meaning.
"We made it." He
said.
"You said we would."
I replied, recalling his words to me.
"It's so beautiful, Trin.
Lights everywhere. Like the whole thing was built with light. I wish you could
see what I see." He said to me gripping my hand tighter. I merely smiled
at him and said
"You've already shown me
so much." I said, wishing I new how to tell him just how much he meant to
me.
"What is it Trinity,
what's wrong?" He asked.
"I can't come with you
Neo, I thought that I could but I can't" I took a deep breath and watched
as his hand fell upon the metal rod that had pierced my abdomen. His hands
moved down it slowly until his fingers met the wound and he retracted.
"Why? Oh my god, oh no. .
. no, no!" He shouted, his voice trembling, and moved his hand to my
cheek, and I tilted my face into his cradling hand. I cherished his soft touch
upon my skin, knowing deep down it was the last time I would ever feel it. I
could feel the pain slowly beginning to ebb, and I knew that my time was
limited. I had to tell him how I truly felt. It was my last chance.
"It's alright, it's time.
I've done all that I could do; now you have to do the rest. You have to finish
it, you have to save Zion." I said, trying to urge him to end the war, I
had all faith in him; I knew that he could do it without me.
"I can't not without
you." He said. It was tearing me apart to see the pain and sorrow in his
face, and the trembling in his voice was eating away at me, but I had to remain
strong. I had to fight the tears yearning to come, I couldn't make my death
harder for him than it already was.
"Yes you can, you will. I
believe it, I always have." I said as my breath began to become shallower.
"Trinity. . . Trinity you
can't die, you can't you can't"
"Yes, I can. You brought
me back once, but not this time. Do you remember ... on that roof after you
caught me . . . the last thing I said to you?" I said, recalling that
night the agent shot me, and how Neo had brought me back. I remembered that my
last words were "I'm sorry", although I wasn't entirely sure what I
was apologizing for.
"You said 'I'm
sorry'"
"I wish I hadn't. That was
my last thought. I wished I had one more chance, to say what really mattered,
to say how much I loved you, how grateful I was for every moment I was with
you. But by the time I knew what I wanted to say what I wanted to, it was too
late. But you brought me back. You gave me my wish. One more chance to say what
I really wanted to say... Kiss me, once more." I confessed, pouring out my
final thoughts, although no words would ever be able to describe just how
strong my feelings for him were. My heart was weakening so I asked him to kiss
me, it was the first time I had ever asked Neo to kiss me, but I didn't want to
die without feeling his lips against mine just one more time. He seemed to
hesitate after I had told him everything. "Kiss me." I asked once
more, struggling to breath as I clung to life just long enough for him to lean
over me and kiss me.
It was a kiss unlike any other;
I used all my remaining strength as Neo kissed me more passionately than ever
before, more pure and emotional than anything I had ever felt. I concentrated
my final thoughts on just how much I loved him, as all my memories of us
flashed through my mind, it took only a few seconds but to me it felt like
eternity, but I cherished these finals moments. I soon lost feeling in my body
and I could no longer feel Neo's hand upon my cheek, or the firm grip he held
upon my hand. I couldn't feel Neo's kiss and I closed my eyes as everything
seemed to turn bright.
Next I knew I was standing
beside Neo, I realized that it was over, that I was to pass on. It tore my
heart to pieces as he deteriorated into sobs and wept over my body. I knelt
down beside him and placed a kiss on his head and ran my fingers though his
hair one final time, although I'm sure he couldn't feel it. I placed my lips to
his ear and whispered:
"You can do it Neo, I
believe in you. I love you, goodbye." I said before kissing him just above
his ear as a bright light enveloped me and I felt at peace.
That's chapter 2 ^.^ please don't be too hard on me, this is my first Matrix
fic. Please review!!
