Eternal love, Immortal life

Authors Note: Listening to Evanescence while I write this chapter, such sad music...listen to "my immortal" and think of Neo and Trin :(

This here next chapter is gonna be...well I have no idea how long its gonna be, just however long I can be bothered writing until I have to go down to my room and complete my french project and study for my science exam. It will be longer than last time again, I don't know much by though.

Chapter 3

It was quiet. Most of the inhabitants of Zion were fast asleep in their cabins, or sqeezed into other peoples depending on the state of their own quarters.

This included Neo as well, his exhaustion had finally caught up with him and he lay curled in the fetal position, feigning comfort that he didn't posess.

Every Man, Woman, and child in Zion were doing their part to repair the battered city back to some form of normality. The fear they had posessed before the end of the war had vanished, and everyone seemed so much more relaxed than ever before.

People were still being unplugged from the Matrix on a regular basis, but it was no longer hard to do on account of they were at peace with the machines and smith had been destroyed.

*******

Neo woke a few hours later to the dreary darkness of the tiny cabin, reaching hopelessly across the bed towards where Trinity would have been if she was still alive.

He sighed, already wide awake, depression washing over him in waves.

With a deep sigh, he slowly dragged himself up off the sweat soaked blankets and stood up, wavering slightly from the pressure on his seldom used muscles.

He grasped the doorhandle and slowly stepped out into the open.

The city was dark, metal strewn all over the charred floors. Neo blinked in shock and amazement at the destructuion of everything. It was scary to think that just over a few weeks ago this had happened, the fear that had been spread over all the inhabitants of this once beautiful city, and now...and now there was no fear, just exhaustion, happiness and relief.

Footsteps could be heard just up the hall, and Neo turned as Morpheus came into view, his head bowed in acknowledgement.

They surveyed each other for a moment before Morpheus broke the silence.

"Good morning Neo"

Neo just nodded, his eyes showing little recognition, and turned back to overlooking Zion.

Morpheus stood beside him, hands behind his back and expression placid.

"Strange isin't it"

Neo looked up.

"Strange how Morpheus?"

Morpheus just sighed

"Of that, I have no idea"

Neo tried to smile, but it came out as more of a grimace.

There was a long silence between them.

After what seemed like an eternity, Morpheus sighed and turned to leave.

But before he did, he turned to Neo and said, "Trinity loves you Neo, and you love her. As long as this fact remains true, she will never die", and with that, he turned on his heel and walked away.

Neo stared after him, wide eyed and confused, wondering what the hell that could possibly mean.

With a deep sigh, he returned to his cabin and collapsed on the cot again.
