Author's Notes: Muchas Gracias to the people who actually reviewed my story I appreciate all of you and sorry about the time it took also.
The three sat silently in a black limousine, Trinity drove and Morpheus sat next to Trinity and Neo sat in the back facing Spike and Slash. For some reason every bone in his body told him not to trust these creatures, their coding was all wrong, for all intents and purposes their coding read as if they were dead but they were still moving. It was unnatural, and even though they were supposed to be on their side, they made Neo uncomfortably. Even an Agent would die if you shot it enough...if you managed to hit it that is but with these "Vampires" you could shoot them until Judgment Day and they wouldn't die. He was sure it would hurt a hell of a lot though.
"I still don't understand...What is the Matrix...you said everything around you that I think is real...what is that supposed to mean?" Slash asked breaking the silence.
"Okay let me start by explaining what happened to the humans...In the war against machines as a last ditch effort humans blocked out the sun since most machines ran on solar energy, but the machines figured out how to use humans for energy, and they started growing fields of human babies and feeding off their energy...Now the Matrix is like...to explain it simply...a giant virtual reality computer that projects everything you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell around you, they recreated civilization when humans were at their peak...As for the virus, a hacker by the name of Surge created it within himself, then mixed his blood with others diluting it so the people appeared human. The infected were supposed to kill off the infected minds, so that slowly as we freed the ones who were ready they would kill off the ones that would never be ready to know the truth, but no one could control them, they did there own thing and we did ours and soon they machines created...something to fight it...someone they made appear righteous, but they didn't tell her the truth and when she dies, they choose another...but she still appears to be the good guy..." Neo said without pausing.
"So your saying there's a real world outside of this?" Slash asked not even looking at him but out the window.
"Yes, but the real world is in ruins, harsh, dark, there's only one human city left called Zion were there are naturally born humans that weren't grown in fields, these can't enter the Matrix, and you and Spike being...dead...can't exit the Matrix...but..." Neo was abruptly cut off when Slash suddenly cut him off.
"Turn the car around!" she demanded to Trinity as she headed out of town.
"Are you crazy?" Trinity said looking into the rearview mirror.
"Yes now turn the car around!" she snapped.
"What the hell is wrong with her?" Neo asked Spike.
"Slash Love...What is it?" Spike said gently.
"Jack and the others I'm not leaving without them," Slash told him.
Spike sighed then looked at Trinity, "She's not going to give up you might want to just turn around."
"We don't have time..." Trinity said.
Slash reached up and grabbed Trinity by the throat vamping out.
Neo drew his gun and aimed it at Slash's neck, Spike vamped out and grabbed Neo by his jacket and Morpheus aimed a gun at Spike's head.
"This is getting us nowhere," Morpheus said firmly, then he sighed, he knew the guns would kill them he also knew that Slash would kill Trinity and Spike would kill Neo if he could, though he didn't know if he could, "Trinity just turn the car around and take her where she wants to go...Slash please let her go, Neo put away the gun, Spike let go of Neo and I will put away my gun..."
Trinity had slammed the brakes on and now was trying to choke out some noise.
Morpheus lower his gun, Spike let go of Neo and Neo lower his gun but Slash didn't let go of Trinity. Morpheus looked at Spike, Spike's face melded back to his human guise, then looked at Slash.
"Let her go," Spike told her but his reluctance was evident in his voice.
"But..." Slash started...but Spike wasn't hearing it.
"Now!" he snapped.
She let her go immediately. Trinity's hand flew to her throat, then she looked at Morpheus, "What about Agent Brown?"
"Just turn around," Morpheus said tiredly.
Trinity did so reluctantly, "Where?"
Slash thought for a second she knew them all too well if there was one place they'd be now it would be the nearest Motel...mind you everyone in it would be dead but that's where they'd be, "Spike where's the nearest motel?"
"About a half a block from here, Why?" Spike asked.
She smiled halfway...
She knew they were there, the lobby was littered with dead bodies, and body parts. Neo wrinkled his face in distaste.
"Can we find them and come on?" Neo snapped.
"Shut the hell up..." Slash snapped glaring at him.
"He's right, I have a feeling this agent guy could rip me limb from limb, and I'd prefer not to be here when he gets here..." Spike said.
There was a slight sound of movement, all three of them looked in the direction of the sound.
"He's already been here..." said a voice very familiar to Slash.
"Sam?" Slash cocked her head to the side, following the noise she found Sam impaled on a two by four.
"I only managed two escape by casting a spell, but it was too late for the others, they're...he killed them all..." Sam choked out.
Slash held back tears as she lifted Sam off of his skewer. Sam clutched the counter for support as Slash let him go to grabbed a random object and hurl it angrily out of the window, which in this case happened to be a small TV.
"Easy, Boriqua, Nothing we can do but get the hell out of here..." Sam told her quietly.
"Why the HELL are we running from that son of a Bitch?!" she growled vamping out.
"All of us were there, and one of us got out alive..." Sam told her gently, "That's why...because we can't fight it him."
"You guys can't fight him," Neo muttered under his breath.
Unfortunately for him vampires have that impeccable hearing.
"Are you telling me you can fight this Jackass?" Slash said turning to him, "Then I'll ask one more time why we're running from him..."
"Because there's no reason to fight him," Neo said shrugging.
"I lost the majority of my family to that bastard!" Slash yelled moving only three feet away from him, "And the only surviving one has a gaping hole in his torso..." She closed that gap, and was in his face, "Now," she continued in an all too calm voice, "Tell me one more time why your not going to kill him?"
"I'd suggest you back off," Neo said in a low threatening voice.
"I'd suggest you answer me, before I reach down your throat and rip out your heart..." she snarled.
Neo's hand flexed ever so slightly, he knew if he hit her he'd have to fight them all, which was not what he wanted to do, well actually it was but it wasn't in anyone's best interest. Neo took off his sunglasses and stared into her predatory golden eyes. The other just watched, they knew better than to interfere though they probably should have, Sam wanted to know the answer to that question also. Spike too, but not so much, those vampires meant nothing to him, but they meant something to Slash so he only remained silent for a full five seconds before speaking.
"I'm sorry about what happened to your...family, and I'm sorry you can't remember a damned thing, but don't threaten me ever...because personally, your threats do nothing but piss me off, and you don't want me to be pissed, because I could kill you with ease...and since we're on the subject of things you shouldn't do, If you ever lay a hand on Trinity again, by the time I'm through with you, you'll be the vampire equivalent of sushi to a fish...Comprende?" he said slowly and quietly.
"You know if I wasn't so pissed right now, I'd laugh in your face you pathetic excuse for a meal, all you are to me is food, Let's go back to that fish analogy shall we...some fish are easy to catch, other put up more of a fight, but its worth it because the harder they fight the better they taste...and I'm sure if your food were to threaten you, you'd be amused too..." she replied then moved around him and walked out back to the car where Trinity and Morpheus was waiting.
Spike raised an eyebrow and followed behind her, tossing a look back at Neo, who just replaced his glasses, he didn't bother looking at Sam when he asked, "Can you walk?"
"Sí, I can walk," Sam replied, then paused, "Your different...you have an odd sense of power coming from you but I don't know why...maybe you could've carried out those threats, maybe not...but thank you for not trying, she's stressed right now...it seems a lot of things are being piled up on her at once, she needs to sort things out...but she can't do that with all of us here, and in the same, she can't survive, without you all to keep that...Diablo, I don't know what else to call him, but to keep him away from her, she will thank you for that once she understands...now she doesn't you have to forgive her..."
"I know...But I still meant everything I said..." Neo replied.
"I know," Sam nodded.
Maybe not all of these creatures were, bad, Neo thought, Well besides the whole 'I want to suck your blood' thing.
