Blood Across The Red Carpet
Chapter Four: Chances Of Survival
The music was blearing out from the steros which started to make Neo loose his concentration. He knew exactly where Trinity was,
the only problem was to get past the hoards of people which were blocking his way to get to her. He knew that if she didn't get the proper care she needed then her chances of survival would become increasingly low.
When he was finally able to reach her, he heard no signs of pain yet he saw silent tears that had rushed down her pale cheeks. Not knowing first aid, he decided to sooth Trinity by telling her he was here. While he was doing so, he felt someone approach him from behind. It was Choi.
''What the fuck do you think you were doing?'' Neo decided it was about time he confronted Choi on his actions.
''Oh, come on Neo! That bitch deserved it! She wasn't paying attention to anything what was being said and frankly it got on my nerves!'' Choi was still drunk even though his speech wasn't affected by it. Neo didn't hesitate to swipe a punch at Choi, resulting his crash onto the fall which knocked him out of consciousness for the time being.
Gently, Neo lifted the wounded Trinity up which, by doing so, reveleaded the stab wound as her top was lifted up slightly. Pushing past the crowds of people in his way, he took Trinity out into the streets where Morpheus was patiently waiting. Neo lowered her fraile body to the floor and noticed that she had passed out probably due to the pain.
Neo placed his hand over the wound to try and prevent the bleeding. The warm blood oozed and made it's way out of the gaps in his fingers. The blood had stained the inside of his hand but he didn't care, Trinity's blood was his blood. If they ever had a child one day then that would prove that their blood was infact shared.
''Morpheus, i can't do this for hours upon end. She needs help now and if she doesn't get any then i'm afraid she won't live to tell the tale'' There was a sence of humour in Neo's voice but it went un-noticed by Morpheus who was too wrapped up in concern about Trinity. Of course, Neo was the same and perhaps a tad more concerned being that Trinity is Neo's destined lover.
''There's a phone box across the street. I suggest you get her out of here and get her fully recovered. I'll be waiting here, i think Choi ought to get what he deserves''
Neo sighed. He wanted to be the one who gave Choi what he deserved. He wanted to be the one who would give out the revenge. He should be the one who will take care of Trinity, no matter what happends. He took her carefully across the street and placed the phone to her ear. Once he had done that, he did it to himself.
When they were both back in the Neb, Neo decided he would take full control. Trinity awoke from the chair she was sitting on when she was re-inserted from the Matrix to discover just exactly what had happened and what will happen. She whimpered when she felt the wound open up and reveal the bloody contents.
Neo took her to the medbay as an act of desperation. Tank was already there, getting certain medical insturments ready. Neo stood there, humming and haring as to what to do.
Tank nodded in Neo's direction as to tell him that his assistance is no longer needed. Neo walked out of the medbay, sick to death about Trinity.
Tonight would be the first night in at least four months that Neo would have to sleep alone.
