Hey everyone! Now, you probably are wondering 'This is a necrophilia story? What on earth is she doing? Neo and Trinity are the perfect couple!' Yes, well they are also a dead couple (LOL, I'm harsh.) Don't get me wrong; I love them together as much as the next person, but I really wanted to try something different. I haven't seen any fan fictions like this before in the matrix archives, so I thought it'd be cool. It's still going to be a romance fic but also... a bit on the horror side too. You might see this in the next few chapters (consider that your warning). hehe

Oh yeah, either I'm extremely tired from the lack of sleep I've been getting or this laptop I'm on is auto-correcting the strangest things. I wrote 'could' and I went back and it said 'couple'. It's very irritating

And, I know chapters are short, but they'll get longer as we get into the story more, okay? Okay.

Also, thank you so much to those who've been reviewing or reading. -gives internet hug-

Neo forced himself awake -although it hadn't felt like he had slept at all due to the bizarre dreams he had- before the sun rose, wanting to take advantage of the day. He had decided to clean the house and clear one of the rooms where he could 'help' Trinity.

Neo found mops and brooms in a closet near the kitchen and several unpopular brands of detergents and soaps underneath the sink behind a blur of cobwebs. He had spent hours cleaning the house, ridding the windows of dirt and the kitchen from mildew. Neo had personally found the bathroom to be the most disgusting room of the whole house. The toilet water was green with growing bacteria in the bowl and the shower had become black with dirt and scum. He had finished cleaning well into the afternoon and went back into his bedroom where Trinity was still sleeping.

He kneeled down the side of the bed and watched her for a moment before shaking her shoulder and whispering, "Trin, wake up."

Automatically her eyes lifted open, surprising Neo a bit. Usually he had to call her name several times before she'd wake up. He decided to ignore it and tell Trinity what he planned to do.

"Don't worry," Neo assured, "I've rearranged codes before. Not humans, but I don't think I'll have a problem. All you have to do is keep still and don't give me any problems. Can you do that for me?"

Trinity's face remained stoic and since she didn't physically move her body, Neo assumed it was another was of saying 'okay'.

He carried her into the spare room and put her down on the bed. He had placed a chair next to the bed and a glass of water on the nightstand. "Close your eyes," he said before taking a sip of water. Trinity heard the glass 'clink' against the nightstand and felt an incredible pain pierce her as Neo started to arrange her code. She wanted to tell him to stop, in fact, she had, but her voice wouldn't work. It was like she was... broken.

He revived the muscles in her upper body and repaired her voice box. Neo began messing with her skin pigment codes, attempting to brighten up her face, but her codes refused to be arranged in that order. Each time he tried to fix them, they'd jump back. Out of his frustration, Neo curled his fist and punched Trinity, yelling, "Damn it! What the fuck's wrong with you!?"

Trinity had found her voice and screamed when she was hit, making Neo realize what he'd done. He took her hand in his and kissed it muttering "I'm so sorry, Trinity. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I-I wasn't thinking…"

Neo had put her back in her bed, examining the dark bruises already showing. You broke her ribs? What the hell is wrong with you? Do you have no self control?

Because Trinity was still in excruciating pain hours later, Neo gave her (questionable) painkillers which seemed to calm her down. She was fragile; he'd have to remember that. Neo knew there would be consequences, but how could he know this would happen?

Was it a mistake to bring her back? Did I even bring her back?

Neo tried to forget everything about Trinity and focus on himself. How am I going to earn money? It's not like I can get a job. I can't leave Trinity alone here, she's too unstable. Maybe I could put her in a hospital. Wait, she's wanted by the FBI, right? They're still after her. But maybe not, now that the war is over. I wish I knew what was going on. I defeated Smith and all of a sudden I wake up in that field. Maybe I should try contacting Zion.

Neo ran into the kitchen and picked up the phone attached to the wall. He wasn't sure which number to dial. It wasn't like there was a specific number to be connected to a different reality. No, he just pressed talk on his cell phone and Link would pick up…

Neo sighed and dialed a random number, a confused, slightly irritated look on his face.

"Operator," a deep voice said.

"Morpheus?" Neo asked, surprised to hear his voice...or one so similar.

"How do you know that? Who is this?"

"It's Neo."

"Oh God, that can't be possible…"
