Naz opened her eyes. She was surrounded by pink goo. She broke the skin of
the pod and sat up screaming, well, screaming as much as a person with a
metal tube down their throat could muster. She started coughing and pulled
the tube out of her mouth and nose. Once she stopped coughing and managed
to breathe, she threw her hands up to her head and starting screaming
violently, as if she was being ripped in half. She opened her eyes once
more and looked over the edge to see all the other podded humans. A
whirring sound came from above her and a spider-type machine dropped down
and grabbed her around the neck with its metal claw. A drilling pain came
from the back of her neck and she was released. Suddenly, every plug on her
began to pop out of place, pain still steering her in every direction. The
back of the pod opened and she fell through. The next thing she remembers
was hitting the water at a high velocity, causing a stinging sensation all
over her body. A light shone down burning her eyes and a claw came down and
grabbed her, pulling her out of whatever she had fallen into. When she felt
her feet on solid ground once more, there was only one thing worth doing.
Scream.
"Haze! Haze! Be quiet!" she heard a female voice from behind her.
"What the-? She's out of her goddamn mind!" came a male voice from outside the room. Naz took in a deep breath.
"Welcome...to the real world" was Morpheus' voice.
* * * * * * * (Black out) * * * * * * *
A figure was walking up to her from the darkness. She stood under an only lamppost, creating the only visible light. The figure was getting closer, and the surroundings were brightening. Suddenly she ended up in a completely white room, filled with nothing. The only other thing in the room was the nearing figure. Her vision cleared, reviling the answer to her most desperate question: Who was that person?
"NEO!" it struck her. The figure stopped and fell back onto a chair that appeared from nowhere. It was laughing.
"Yes Naz, it's me." He replied to her outburst. Another chair, identical to the first one, appeared and a force pushed Naz down onto it. The chair was then jerked forward to sit next to Neo's.
"But? You can't be here!"
"Ah, but I can. You see, I am here to explain to you about that searing pain that's going through your head. After my little stunt to save Morpheus I fear I owe you an apology-"
"What?" exclaimed Naz, "that was you?!? How?"
"I was just about to explain," continued Neo, "Josey, or should I say Smith, was very correct in mine and his still being alive. After we 'died' we were given a choice, as always. The choices were; one, go to what they referred to as 'heaven', or two, return to the Matrix. Now, Smith and I both went for two, in which case the system had a problem. The problem was that it couldn't put us straight back into the Matrix, due to the fact we still needed to heal from our battles. The machines made us an offer. They said they would place us into the minds of whatever coppertops we wished and that someday we will be freed when they were unplugged. Smith and I being connected, wished to stay as close as possible to keep an eye on each other, to be sure we didn't do anything stupid, as I demonstrated in the church."
"Ok, breathe! So what you're telling me is you possessed me? And Smith possessed Josey?"
"Well, not exactly. After we regained consciousness in your minds, we couldn't control you at all, especially since you didn't know of our existence. But it seems, Smith changed the rules slightly. When the agents were interrogating Josey, she went into the corner, and Smith began informing her on some of the happenings. So that's how she knew and you didn't. ....I'm sorry for not telling you sooner." Finished Neo.
"Well, that is a nice explanation. What about the dreams? Why did we have them?"
"They were memories and events that happened. We gave them to you to make you more aware of the Matrix and, well, us!"
"Why could Josey speak for Smith, like how could Smith use Josey to speak to me, well, you?"
"Since Josey was aware of Smiths presence she allowed him to speak, but suppressed him as soon as he went too far. Anymore questions?"
"Two. Why does my head hurt so much?"
"That would be because of the fact I was separated from you when you were unplugged. I was literally torn from your body. This is a dream I left you before you went. And the other one?"
"Why me and Josey?"
"Well, Smith and I saw how close you two were, and that you were close to being rebels anyway, so we thought that if anything happened to one-another we would know about it. Oh, and if you're wondering about us choosing Wales, we knew it was secluded and not many people expected us to be there."
"Wow. That just about answers all those questions. My guess is that my head will stop hurting soon and that I'll wake up in the infir-"
* * * * * * (Blinding white light) * * * * * *
"-mary. Hey? Oh crap."
"Huh? Morpheus, she's awake!" came the voice of Link, beside her.
"Shhh! Awwww my head!" she cried. A hand was placed on her head, then realization hit her, "oh damnit! I'm bald!"
"Rest Naz, the answers are, well, you already know the answers." Came Morpheus' voice as he placed a hat on her head.
"More than you might think. Argh... my head! Isn't there anything you could give me?"
"A word of sympathy?" Naz opened her eyes and sparks had come over and joined Link beside her.
"God! This is worse than that time we had to say the thoughts of a character in English!"
* * * * * (Flash-back) * * * * *
"Now Natalie. I want you to tell me what Andres is thinking." Her sub- teacher said.
"Hmm, this bloody bra is killing me!" Naz said absent-mindedly.
* * * * * (Flash-forward) * * * * *
"Where's Josey?" Naz demanded.
"We watched the news as she requested....it turns out she stole a car and is heading towards London. Surprised?" Link answered, Sparks agreeing with him.
"Oh not at all," Naz said, rubbing her head, "she's attempting to make things easier for you. She's going to a airport, she's gonna fly!"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Several gunshots were heard. People began screaming and dropped to the floor. Josey walked in with ease, replacing her desert eagles to their holsters. Discreetness was not her best quality. She kicked her way through a window and everybody gasped, she was on the 4th floor! A few people ran to the windows to see where she was going. They saw her land, gracefully, and run towards the runways.
"I'm glad the agents can upload information..." she said to herself.
Josey saw a small privet jet in the corner of her eye and changed course towards it. She jumped up onto the stairs and knocked whoever was on them off. Josey slammed the door shut and ran into the cockpit. The pilots turned in surprised and one of them fell off their seat.
"Anyone up for a ride?" asked Josey, pulling out one of her guns and checking it over.
"Huh? What? But-? You're just a girl!" moaned one of the pilots, named John (just for the sake of understanding), who was getting up off the floor.
"Observent eh? That should come in handy on our way to China town." Said Josey calmly.
"But-? You're no older than thirteen! China town? What?" obviously the second pilot, named James, was confused.
"Hmm, yeah....you seem confused. How abouts this, you take me to where I want to go, and I don't shoot you?" offered Josey.
"Yeah! That sounds like a good deal! And off we go!" Cowered John as Josey went to take a seat in the back.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"They have no idea for what they're in for....." remarked Naz.

Whew! That was weird to write. Anyways, please review and I hope you enjoyed. Um... that's all I have to say! I'll update as soon as possible on whatever story I can. Cyas!
