Cat's story was coming, but I guess some readers got a bit confused....lol. It happens to the best of us. I had THE
worst day and fanfic.net was being incrediably GAY so I couldnt upload this for ages- jeezus people, try to be
understanding!!! sry, like I said, I had a bad day. Cat was just chilling back at the Neb, nothing interesting. Basically,
she's mortified when she realizes it wasn't a dream:
What the hell had she been thinking?!
Cat ran her hand up her arm, no longer feeling smooth skin, but more like smooth bumpy smooth bumpy.
Small black holes were indented one between her shoulder and elbow and the other between her elbow and wrist.
Her other hand slid between the gritty pillow and her hairless head and felt another hole.
"I should have pinched myself, first," Cat mused aloud.
She shuddered and drew the cold sheets closer to her chin, but allowed a leg and a foot to stick out from
under it as she lay on her side, facing the wall. She felt so far from home, so secluded from the familiarity and
security she knew as her life. Her dream. She was sorry to wake up- it had been a good dream. She missed her messy
apartment with the island counter and filthy microwave she never bothered to wipe down every once and a while; the
couch facing the bay window giving a gorgeous overview of the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.
She missed all the small things from her old life that she had always taken for granted. Her dog- Frodo.
Who'd feed him? No wait- he wasn't real anyway. But he could still die, anyone could die, wether they fully
understand where they were actually wasting away. When they were fully wasting away. She wondered wether dogs
were plugged into the Matrix. Nah, they wouldn't bother.
Maybe Jackie would feed her dog. Jackie her sister. What would she do when she went to her apartment and
found it empty? And her mother, her father, her brother. What would they hear? What would the police tell them?
Surly everyone else on board had family they'd left behind. Everyone had a mother, a father. Maybe even a
sibling or two.
Goose bumps rose on Cat's bare legs. Her white undershirt left her shoulders exposed to the cold of the
ship- the pure metal interior that gave no warmth, no heat. She ran her hand along the mattress that her body didn't
cover. How she wished someone would lay beside her...she longed for the human touch.
Her cheeks flushed as she remembered the past days events. So she wasn't dreaming....hmmm. Maybe she
could just live in this tiny room for the rest of her life, it'd be better than facing the crew again. Facing Neo....facing
Trinity.
They were gone now, though. Well, not gone, but in the Matrix. Doing some kind of mission- nothing to do
with her. *sigh* She was glad: would she ever be able to look Neo in the eyes again?
Neo....she had enjoyed their little moment. Even if it meant that Trinity now hated her. Probably Neo, too.
She had forgotten how wonderful kissing him felt. She forgot how they used to spend their nights, cuddled up on the
sofa, watching a movie or just....you know.
What had happened to the old Thomas Anderson? She never fully understood the reason for the break up.
Cat supposed they'd grown apart- he never spoke to her anymore and the conversations they had (in the Matrix) were
strained. That's when things began to fall apart.
And now she found out that he was the hacker he'd been admiring for the ast two years. He was the Neo.
And the name Trinity was so familiar. But why did she have to ask so many questions? Curiosity killed the cat. And
now Cat felt as if she was in way over her head.
Maybe she could transfer ships- the Nebebuchadnezzar couldn't be the only ship out there. Cat couldn't
help but feel as if she were underwater. She couldn't comprehend hover crafts, or whatever the ship was. She knew
they were off ground, but it felt like they were a submarine. She felt suffocated.
Cat sat up wearily and put her bare feet on the icy ground. Maybe she just needed to stretch her legs. But
there was no way she was leaving this room. Not now, not ever.
Hmpth.
I know, I know, this is really pieced together, I just wanted to get it out of the way. Sigh. Blah blah blah, hope u like
the next chapter. (;
