Chapter Seven
Neo stared dumbfounded at the dark haired girl standing just a few feet away from him. Her blue eyes gazed intently into his, as if trying to work something out.
She'd said her name was Angel, but it confused him. What was such a young girl doing in the machine world? Was she a program? Was she an illusion?
She stepped forward hesitantly, still gazing intently into Neo's chocolate brown eyes. "Neo.you came here because of the dreams didn't you?"
Neo frowned slightly, looking a little bit startled. "How did you know?"
Angel just shrugged "I sent the signals for those dreams, I needed you to come here"
"Why?"
She sighed, "It's too hard to explain Neo, I can't tell you, but I have to show you something"
Neo just nodded, his patience never wearing thin. There was something about this place that just gave him a sense of infinite, like he had all the time in the world.
Angel reached out hesitantly and took his hand in hers; he looked at her, a slight frown gracing his lips, but didn't object to her touching him.
Never taking her eyes of Neo's, she slowly led him through the twisted metal remains and rocky terrain of the machine world.

Niobe frowned at the computer screen in front of her, it showed the ship Neo had borrowed, completely stationary, and more, it was stationary in the machine world.
Morpheus watched over her shoulder, a slight look of concern on his face.
Niobe turned to face him "do you think he's alright?"
Morpheus nodded, "yes of course, he'll be fine, don't worry".
************
After fifteen odd minutes of walking, Angel and Neo arrived in an empty clearing, right in the middle of the twisted jungle of machines.
Angel turned again to Neo, her blue eyes giving away nothing. "Neo, I need you to lie down" Neo just looked at her, suspicion and confusion playing at his features, "Lie down? Why?" "Just because Neo, I promise you nothing will happen to you while you're with me, I can't let that happen" "Why can't you let that happen?" Angel looked down at the rocky ground "You'll find that out soon enough".
There was a silence between them, where they both stared at the ground, deep in thought. Neo looked up all of the sudden "Angel, who are you? Are you.." She shook her head quickly and allowed a small smile to grace her lips "No Neo, I'm not Trinity re-incarnated" Neo frowned "No I didn't think so, I'd know if you were." Angel nodded in agreement "yes you would, now are you going to lie down or not?"
A strange rush of trust for this girl had seem to come over him in the last few moments, it was weird, it felt like he'd known her before, or maybe was going to know her in the future, It was a very strange feeling.
With a deep breath, Neo kneeled awkwardly onto the ground, and then lowered himself onto his back, staring directly up at Angel.
Slowly, she kneeled down beside him and then sat cross-legged on the ground. "Now Neo, this is gonna feel a bit weird, but once you are in, you can't get out until you have accomplished what I need you to do, I'm going to lead you through your own memories, starting from you're discovery of the Matrix. You'll know what to do when it is time."
Neo comprehended this for a moment, and then looked up at Angel in confirmation. She smiled at him reassuringly. "are you ready?"
"Yes"
"Close you're eyes"
Neo closed his eyes and no further words were spoken, Angel pressed her pale hands firmly to his forehead, and what started as a tingly feeling washed over him, growing until he felt like he was spinning into oblivion, and then, the world as Neo knew it, spun into total darkness.
