Permanent Fixture
Chapter 1 : Living In A Fake World
Trinity awoke to the distance sound of a heart beating. She turned her head around slightly so she saw the owner of the heart beat. It was Neo. His constant breathing was rhythmical and it soothed Trinity so much that she attempted to fall back to sleep, but she resisted the temptation of trying to fall back to sleep with her partner and she removed herself from the bed to find her skin covered in goosebumps from the reaction of the cold air against her.
She looked around curiously, to find a sence of deja vu. Much like the incident that had occurred more than a year ago with Neo when he saw the black cat twice. She wiped away any loose hairs that had came across her forehead while sleeping and made her way to the bathroom. She placed the plug in the hole and turned the tap on. A gush full of water emerged from the tap and she used it to wash her face with. She then removed the plug and let the 'only made recent' dirty water down the sink and returned to the bedroom to find Neo awake. He smiled and she returned the facial expression.
''Where are we?'' She asked, before even bothering to greet him. His face turned into a frown but he still kept his gaze upon her.
Before allowing Neo to speak, Trinity continued. ''I mean...i died Neo. I was killed, you know that. You saw me die'' She shook her head, refusing to remember such thoughts as herself being killed, like what happened to her.
''I know you did. I can't understand either Trinity. I know i defeated Smith and i have no idea what happened next. I can't figure it out'' He let out his hand for Trinity and she accepted it and decided to get back into bed. His cell phone was right next to his bedside cabinet and he used his spare hand to reach it and dial certain numbers.
''What are you doing?'' Asked an intrigued Trinity.
''Ringing a man who possibly may know the answer to us being here'' Neo answered. Trinity didn't reply but just nodded to his statement.
The phone rang a few times and no one picked up from the other end. Neo became frustrated and chucked the cell back to it's orginial location. Trinity felt his rage and moved away an inch before starting up another conversation between them.
''Is there any difference what-so-ever in the code?'' Trinity said, affixing her gaze to the man who laid next to her.
''Funny you should mention that, i was just thinking about it. It seems that all the hard lines have been disabled from my view. I am confused as you are Trin, i can't understand it. I'd suggest that we visit The Oracle. If she's here somewhere... surely she could tell us what has happened and perhaps what will happen''
Neo slipped his arm around Trinity's waist and moved her closer to him. She still couldn't 100 percent recognize the apartment as her own. She didn't realize that this was her apartment that she had once lived in before she was unplugged by Morpheus. Time would tell whether she would be able to fully recognize the flat.
Neo suddenly put his other arm to her cheek and caressed it gently along the cuts that were still viable from the crash where her death was produced and her life cut short. She shuddered, a distant remember that she was still in fact alive. He pulled in for a kiss, their lips were sown together in a matter of seconds. Trinity felt the urge to break away and she did so, leaving a helpless Neo to himself. Trinity slipped under the duvet and rested her head against the pillow. Things were going to change. Big changes, small changes and many changes. But at least they have each other; Neo thought.
How was it? I'd love to hear feedback.
