Bright brutal sunshine pierced Neo's eyes behind his black specs as he fended off countless Agents. He kicked off the last Agent, and was preparing to take off, in Superman style; when a blow to the head knocked him out. Trinity. He slipped into a pool of inky blackness.

Nude lips curved in a provocative smile, mocha eyes looked down on their capture. Smooth hands reached for her "love."

"Let's go," a silken voice purred. Rough hands picked Neo up and carted him off, loyally following their mistress.

"Damn it Link, what happened to him?" Morpheus asked.

" I don't know, some goons just grabbed him," Link couldn't figure it out. He looked at the code of the Matrix, something was missing. But what?

Trinity walked into the room, "Is Neo on his way?"

"Trinity, there's been a problem," Morpheus quietly told her.

"What happened?" she squawked, looking over Link's shoulder at the screen. She saw Neo, and what was carrying him, a couple of goons. Who would kidnap Neo? Agents? No, I'd be able to see them. It was something else, invisible. That was new and dangerous.

"Put him in here," Persephone pointed to a king-size sumptuous bed.

"Now get out," she ordered her minions. She turned back to look at Neo with provocative intent, "Finally you're mine."

He slept so peacefully. Her own sleeping beauty that she would wake with a single passionate kiss.

**

Neo felt lips touching his, they were emotionless and slightly cool. They weren't Trinity's. He opened his eyes and saw Persephone standing above him. He pulled away in shock.

"What happened?" He looked down, thank god, he was still dressed. God knows what Persephone would've done to his unwilling body, while he lay unconscious.

After her last request, he knew he wouldn't be getting out of here, without paying a heavy price.

" I saved you from those annoying Agents," she purred in his ear. Softly massaging his shoulder, she nibbled on his ear.

"Don't." Neo pulled away quickly. "Why am I here?" he looked in her eyes.

Avoiding the question, "You're mine." Persephone looked at him. She licked her lips and blew him a kiss. Slinking away like a lioness satisfied after a lustful feast. "Later." She closed the door behind her. He heard the key click in the lock.

Neo looked around him; he was lying on a huge bed with sumptuous bedding, mountainous pillows. Four posters that supported an arching canopy. The walls were covered with various paintings, some abstract and some other interesting ones.

He got off the bed, and walked to the French doors. The sun was setting, streaks of pink and orange painted the sky. He wished Trinity were here with him. I miss her so much. How am I going to get out of here?

Neo lay on the bed, watching the sun set. He slipped into a troubled sleep.

**

Trinity sat by Neo's motionless body. "Neo I need you, where are you?" she whispered in his ear.

"Where did they take you? Who took you?" she looked down at her love. So silent and still.

She closed her eyes and passed into a troubled sleep.

*~*~*~*~*

Neo, where are you? I need you. A voice called to him through the midnight mist.

He stood outside, hearing voices from all directions. He saw an image, lying on the ground, so still and silent.

Dark hair curled obsequiously around a vulnerable neck. Dark fans of lashes covered oceans of cobalt that had laughed into his eyes so often.

Memories of them making love rushed at him. He couldn't survive without Trinity, she was his other half. If she died, he died.

He knelt down and turned her over, her hand clasped her chest. Neo closed his eyes and looked.

She died of a broken heart. This is what will happen to her, if you don't get free, a voice whispered in the cold night.

"Who said that?" Neo looked around. He looked down and her body was gone. In her place, lay a black rose, frozen in its death.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Neo woke covered in sweat. He looked around the room, it was lit for seduction. He saw Persephone sprawled on the end of the bed, dressed in black.

"Why are you doing this?" he looked at her.

"Because I'm lonely, and I want you," she pouted at him.

"Well I want to go home to Trinity," he yelled.

"Too bad, you're mine forever. Get used to it." She crawled on her hands and knees forward to him.

"I will break you," her lips whispered sultrily into his ear. She braced her hands on his shoulders and pushed him down on the bed. "Now where were we?" she straddled his waist.
