It is time………..a whispered voice crept into his mind.
Neo awoke, his mindset turned onto warrior. It was time. Silently he untangled himself from Trinity's arms and legs. Pausing to marvel at her beauty, he wondered if he would ever see her again.
Gently, he placed a hand over her stomach and felt the small life move within. Soon she would know that she was pregnant. At least if he didn't come back, she would have their child.
Leaning down, he kissed her. One last time………..the next time I see you, the war will be over.
I love you, I'll always be with you………… he whispered to her. He exited the room.
As the door clicked behind him. Trinity's eyes opened, slowly filling with tears. She grabbed some clothes and hurriedly followed Neo's path.
Not letting him see her…….she followed him down past all the sleeping quarters……..into the docks………..where a ship awaited him. Morpheus stood outside the ship. They exchanged a few brief words, then Neo walked aboard.
The door shut behind him.

A few minutes later, the ship lifted off from the ground. Quietly, motors whirring, the ship moved to one of the gates.
Trinity watched it leave. How can he leave me……….tears trailed down her cheeks. She ran from the docks, hardly aware of where she was going. She felt like she was going to die.
Her heart shattered into a thousand pieces.
Neo, her heart called. She lay on the bed, her body trembling. Not hearing the door open, she was blind to anything, but the numbing pain that consumed her.
Shattered.
Morpheus opened the door quietly and saw Trinity lying in the bed, she looked broken. She knows that Neo's gone…………I shouldn't have let him go. How will she survive? How will he survive?
The answer to the question eluded him. Only time would tell………………
