Chapter 2: Minute By Minute...Bit By Bit

Sleep overcame her like she was a little child again. She awoke to hear a gentle murmur next to her and was shocked to find it came from the one and only Neo. As soon as she realized this and hauled herself out of the bed. Neo felt a movement and laid there, watching Trinity which went un-noticed by her at the same time. He smiled as he remembered the first time he met Trinity. She had approached him in the club when he was searching for an answer...and the answer he soon got.

Smoke was visible in the club. The smoke blurred the lights and most people's vision but it didn't seem to bother them, they were more intrested in having a good time and perhaps getting laid later on.

Most people were dressed in black, they were everywhere either gathered in groups or just hanging around in couples.

Neo stood against a wall on his own, drinking a bottle of beer. He wasn't used to such a club and felt alone since he was on his own. He is going to leave when he noticed a woman staring at him. The same woman then walked right up to him and began talking. The music blasted from the stereo so she got close to Neo to talk to him.

He then found out her name and identity...Trinity...the one who cracked the I.R.S Kansas City D-Base...the one who fell in love with him from the start of his journey...the powerful and beautiful black panther... the one who was turning insane...minute by minute...bit by bit.

His thoughts were crushed when Trinity began an outburst of swearing and was intending to hit Neo if she had the chance. He got up from the bed to then grab hold of Trinity's arms and shove her down onto the bed. He pulled himself on top of her, and got her to look into his eyes as a last resort. Screams were heard down the corridor and Morpheus didn't hesitate to take a look and see what was happening. He slowly opened the door and regretted the instant he did so.

''Uh...oh...sorry for the interuption'' He clearly thought they were doing something else other than Neo trying to calm Trinity down.

''Morpheus! Get some damn Tranquilizer or something! We need to calm her down, now!'' Neo shouted, over the top of Trinity's protests.

Morpheus simply nodded and left the room to get the medical utensil Neo had asked him to collect.

He collected it in the Medbay within a matter of minutes and returned to the room, armed with a syringe.

''This should do the trick. It's even strong enough to put her to sleep if matters get worse'' Morpheus spoke. Neo didn't reply but moved his hand so he could grab the syringe and inject it in Trinity's waist. He emptyed the whole contents of the syringe into her body. He didn't even think about where he would inject it, he called it ''A last minute doing''.

Morpheus was indeed correct, soon enough her screams had died and sobs wrecked her frail form. She had her eyes firmly shut and was in a pitful sleep.

Neo hated to see her like this, it seemed that she had no re-collection of the night before and this kind of event always happened when she found Neo next to her in bed.

Neo decided to put the covers over her limp body for warmth and comfort during her sleep. He felt terrible for knocking her out, but when times like these came for the worst he had to since she was willing to hit Neo and he knew she could and would.

Before leaving Trinity to sleep in a peaceful slumber, he kissed her softly on the lips but was afraid to disturb her. He didn't need to be afraid though, as he didn't disturb her and soon afterwards he left the room.

--------------------------

A couple of hours later, Neo returned to the room to check up on Trinity and see how she was recovering from her earlier outburst.

He gingerly opened the door, to reveal Trinity's poor state. Her body was violently jerking and if it wasn't for Neo to hold her back, she would of literally chucked herself onto the floor. Her eyes weren't even open, it was like she was having a very unpleasant nightmare. Neo's heart was in his throat when he saw the sight of her, contantly jerking and blood dripping out of her mouth, such as it would if she had broken a tooth. It was like she was getting beaten up...but inside out.

Neo would do all he could to get Trinity back on track.
