Smith: This is just a short. announcement to all you ... humans out there. The phenomena that is known as the Matrix has ended and there is no more use for the living components that make up the story. So we're asking you. humans to help protect some of the more sophisticated characters. Mainly me and my fellow...Smiths as you.humans refer to us. So we've set up an 'Adopt a Smith' campaign. Pay enough and you can take home one of my.. Smiths. RR& ...D...

I woke up with a start, I'd had the same dream I'd been having for a while now. Always the same, Neo died, again and again, and this time, I couldn't save him. Just like Switch, Apoc, Tank and Dozer. And to the rest of the world he was just one more name, on a list of dead.

The same dream every night, and every night I had to put my head next to Neo's chest to reassure myself with the beating of his heart. Tonight however I thought I'd go and check up on Link, he was still a bit jittery around us all, it was as though he didn't quite trust us yet, and I completely understood, back in Zion the Neb was legendary.

It held both The one and Morpheus, Morpheus who was considered a legend and a lunatic. I don't know which Link believes yet, I hope though he gets over this barrier quickly, it's getting on Morpheus's nerves.

Reaching the control room I almost laughed at the sight before me. Link had his head on the keyboard and was snoring with a steady rhythm. I walked over and prodded him slightly. He snapped up and mumbled, I sat next to him and smiled slightly, "I think you got a little drool on the keyboard"

"Ah, drool'll do the computer good, in fact that's why I feed some to it every night"

I laughed softly, "So is there anything interesting?"

Link shook his head, "Oh but Morpheus told me to tell you and Neo, you'll be tailing someone tomorrow, they've been getting pretty persistent, he thinks they're ready. You'll be going to Hightail gardens - Areona"

I stared at him, "That was where I used to live in the matrix"

"it's an apartment right?"

I nodded "well then, you'll know the person"

"I doubt it, I've been out for a while now, everyone could have been replaced"

....................................

If I'd stopped and thought then, it would have been obvious. But ever since Neo came into my life, I'd forgotten my past as I knew all that mattered was my future.

....................................

Just to point out, I have no clue if Hightail Gardens - Areona even exits. I just made it up.

Review please, I know this fic could use a lot of work and I could use the help. So please criticise away.
