Authors note: Once again, sorry this took so long! I got sidetracked by Linkin Park fanfiction (I'm like, the worlds biggest LP fan). Anyways, I appreciate the reviews, and now on with chapter 3. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Chapter 3 - Talks, Trips, and The Final Blow

I walk slowly down to the mess hall. It's pretty much empty with the exception of three people. I sigh and grab a bowl of slop. That's all there ever is to eat here. Slop, slop, slop, and more slop. I quickly finish eating and go to find Morpheus. Luckily, he's in the first place I look.
"How is he?"
"Tired, but seemingly a little bit better. He was sitting at the table when I got back earlier."
"Good. Good. But we're still taking him to Zion."
"Morpheus, he's getting better. Do we really have to go?"
"Trinity, just because of one little thing, you're willing to believe he's getting better?"
"Yes, Morpheus. He *is* getting better."
"Not as fast as he should be, Trinity. We're taking him to Zion, and that's final."
"I suppose you're right. It is for the best."

We're docking at Zion now. From what we can see, there is quite a crowd waiting for us. I wonder if they know why we're here. It's definitely not a happy visit, with The One sick with a virus. We dock, and I slowly help Neo up. He's so pale, and he seems to have lost even more weight. That's not healthy because he was thin enough before. I help him walk off the ship. If he wasn't being held up by Morpheus and I, I have the feeling he would just fall down right here.
"Come on Neo, we're almost there." I say as he breaks out into a sweat, signaling that the fever is rising again. He needs to lie down to keep it from getting too high. "Come on, that's it." I say as we get him to the elevator. Link pushes a button, and we start going up to the floor where Neo's small apartment it. When we get there, I lay him on the small bed that's set into the wall. He just seems to melt into it, relaxing completely, except for his harsh breathing and continuing sweating.
"Neo, I'm going to go talk to some people about your.condition. I'll be back soon. Trinity, Link, you can go as you please. Just check up on Neo occasionally." He says. Link and I nod, and he leaves, closing the door softly. I look at Neo, but he's already asleep.
"Come on, let' leave him be." I whisper. Link nods, and we too leave the room.

He's been asleep for quite some time now. Morpheus has informed us that the Hammer is docked here too and has brought up Maggie to Neo's room. After thoroughly inspecting him, she pronounced the final blow.
"It's a disease caused by the Machines. It.it will eventually kill him."
"How long has he got?"
"Maybe a week."
"A week? It can move that fast?"
"Its effects seem to be similar to those when circulation is cut off from part of your body for a prolonged amount of time. The blood becomes infected and lethal. When the circulation returns, it goes straight to the heart, killing them almost instantly. This disease seems to work the same way, only in seemingly slow motion."
"God.a week. Does he know?"
"No, we thought we'd let you tell him."
I sigh, and turn back to Morpheus. "Is he awake?"
"Yes."
I slowly turn and start walking towards the elevator.
"Are you going to tell him now?"
"Yes. I just want to get this over with."
"Trinity, I know this is going to be hard, but you have to accept the fact that he's going to die, and very soon. If we had known about this before, we might have been able to save him. It came so quickly and will be over so quickly though, that there's no hope. I'm sorry."
"I know you are." I say, walking away.

"Neo, are you awake?"
"Yeah."
"Neo, I need to talk to you."
"About."
"About you."
"Me?"
"Neo.the sickness.it's killing you."
"How much longer?"
"Maggie said a week."
"A week? I have a week left?"
"Yes." I say, fighting not to cry.

A/N - Yes, I know I'm evil. I hadn't originally planned to make it this way, but I'm having trouble with this fic and need to end it. So, one more chapter, and that's it. Vamoose.oh, and I accidentally put Chester in one spot insteada Neo. Good thing I caught it. Y'all can thank Linkin Park for that little ditty.
