A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating! I have been busy and working on other fics! Sorry! Thanks reviewers for being patient!

The room spun around when she awoke, causing her to crash down onto the floor. The room was empty, and the only sound which could be heard was the clock ticking time away. She attempted to sit up again, and the attempt was worthy since she was able to get up. Just what exactly did she do with the Merv last night? Thoughts were starting to give her a headache. To forget them, she tried to think of a plan to escape his room. She found herself going around in circles to come up with an idea. Then it came to her. A key. It was so obvious yet she didn't think of it to the last minute. There was one inside the grandfather clock, she could see the reflection which it gave off. But she didn't get to touch it since The Merovingian opened the door. In a last desperation, Trinity chucked herself on the bed and closed her eyes.

''Ah, good, she's still asleep. I expect Neo will come looking for her soon, we better prepare for the worst'' The Merovingian glared at Trinity before making his way into the bathroom to inspect the blood which Trinity lost. His companion followed him like a lost puppy. While they were occupying themselves in the bathroom, Trinity made a quick mistake and ran for it. She clutched her stomach as she felt a sharp pain soar right through it. As she was distracted by the pain, she didn't realize Persephone step right in front of her.

Persephone noticed that Trinity had put on a bit of weight as Merv the perv had told her. She knew her husbands intentions and reactions and decided that she would confront Trinity herself.

''Oh, i see you're still alive then. That's a shame, i heard that you were killed. Mercilously, you must of been brought back to life. And you've put on weight! Comfort eating perhaps, sleepless nights over worrying if Neo will leave you or not?''

Trinity had become tense and felt her fists shaking due to pure anger at the woman before her. Resisting her urge to punch the living daylights out of the woman, she continued running down the corridor.

''I'll send my husband to come after you!'' Persephone spoke, jealousy rising in her voice.

''Not if i can help it!'' Trinity replied, darting around a corner.

Trinity was lost. She had ran at least a mile and she was becoming exhasted, each step was beginning to become tortue. She lost her breath easily and stepped to the side to take a break.

While she did, she felt a precence behind her. Before the person could even lay a finger on her, she ran forward to get out of their sight. Her breathing became

labourated and she had to pause for at least a minute before continuing. She knew that if she did, the person would catch up with her. And she was correct.

''Off to somewhere hmm?'' The Merv pestered, resting his hand on her shoulder. She shivered at his touch.

''I heard that Neo was searching for you. Apprantly, he's rather worried about your current status. It's awful to know that i don't intend to allow you to see the outside world again'' Trinity squirmed at the thought of never seeing Neo again.

Suddenly, The Merv brought out a gun from his companions pocket. He placed it at the back of Trinity's neck.

''If you attempt to escape again, this bullet located in this gun will be shot right through your neck. You understand?''

Trinity nodded her head and in the corner of her eye, she noticed a familar man peering through the window...
