Dinner, like all other meals of the day, was silent. Horizon and
Evangel sat together, using telepathy to talk to each other. Thorn sat
across from Horizon and acted like her usual self. Horizon did not like the
evil stares that burned from Thorn's eyes. But the warmth in her soul that
she got from Evangel made all the difference.
After dinner and a little bit of T.V. watching, it was time for them to go to sleep. Horizon did not sleep that night, yet again. She was thinking of Evangel. He was so wonderful, so kind, so caring. And he understood her, he would help her learn and develop her powers. They would stay together, and when they were free...
Free.
That word. Liberation, out of the Matrix forever.
But what if they couldn't be freed together? Separation... it would tear her to pieces. She knew that there was a possibility they couldn't be together after being free. No, she wouldn't let that happen! All of them, her and all the Potentials, would be freed. No matter the cost.
"Neo. Please, help me," she whispered to the darkness. "You understand, don't you? Please help me free them all."
Of course, there was no answer, being the darkness. But she continued. "You came to me, you told me the truth. You brought me here, to this strange place. What purpose do I have here, just waiting? I cannot wait. I have little patience, and I think the sands in the hourglass are quickly falling. Why do I have to wait? Get me out, get us out! Please give me some proof that there is more to the rabbit hole than just waiting in a goddamn apartment for you." Tears began running down her face in a mixture of sadness and fury. "Please," she inhaled. "I need this."
