Matrix Neo Wakes Up Novels & Stories

Evana ran after us. “Ariel!” Her voice cracked. “Ariel!” The car accelerated. Her figure became smaller. Smaller. Gone. Darkness swallowed the road. ★ ★ ★ DARIUS KANE'S POV The first thing she did when she woke up was reach for her stomach. Not her throat. Not the unfamiliar room. Her hand immediately covered the child. Interesting. I leaned back in my chair and applauded slowly, the sound echoing through the empty warehouse. "Well," I said, my voice carrying through the cold space, "the Luna of the Crimson Moon Pack, finally wakes up."

The suddenness of my shout startles Neo, jolting him awake from his slumber. He blinks his eyes open, his gaze filled with confusion and sleepiness. Neo stretches his limbs and yawns, trying to shake off the remnants of his deep slumber. As he slowly regains his senses, he looks up at me with a mixture of innocence and bewilderment, clearly taken aback by my sudden outburst.

It suddenly felt very real, people I'd know my entire life, watched my die and then throw me in the dirt. "Looks like we'll need to work on your trust issues. I'm not going to try and rape you." He stated, suddenly vanish from the room only to return seconds later, with a terrified woman in his arms. How did he do that? Instantly disappear and then reappear. Seeing the questions swimming in my eyes he answered. "I'll teach you but first," Twisting the woman in his arms so I could look at her. May Brownwood, this was the woman who found me with Michael. Who screamed her head off telling everyone who would listen that I'd killed him in cold blood. Shocked flooded her eyes when she saw me, and

The copper taste of betrayal on my tongue as the sky over Boston turned to ink. "She’s awake! Doctor, she’s opening her eyes!" The voice hit me like a physical blow. It was Lurii. But her voice was wrong, it was higher, thinner, vibrating with a youthful, frantic energy untouched by the years of bourbon and bitterness I’d heard on that rooftop. I blinked, my vision swimming through a haze of tears and the stinging glare of the overhead lights. As the shapes solidified, I saw them. Standing on either side of my bed were the two architects of my ruin. Marcus and Lurii.

The blaring beep of a monitor screams out of the blue and many other machines follow instantly, banging in my head and forcing more excruciating groans from me. ‘He’s waking up, Ludis is awake!’ Rex alerts in my mind, swerving his authority over mine to take control of the pain and I snap my eyes open fully now to indeed see those eyes I’ve watched all these years in yearning for them to come open...snap open abruptly. “Vyin- What’s happening?” I hear Mao’s frantic voice but I can’t answer her, not when he suddenly bolts up regardless of the wires connected to his body. And he’s about to-

My feet are already moving to Neo’s room. I twist the knob, moving inside. Connor and Shane are right behind me. Neo is sleeping on the bed, shoes on, his arm splayed out for Sadie to use as a pillow. He covered her but he couldn’t find the time to cover himself up despite the cold of the night. I move to the bed. Slowly my hands wrap around Sadie as I pry Neo’s hand from her. Sadie’s little eyes open slightly and I nudge her to sleep by saying, “It’s mommy.”

Maya woke up hearing voices outside. She grabbed the gun sitting next to the her on the bed and jumped up. Dominic was by the window peeking through the curtain. "Just the maid. Relax." Maya set the gun down. Looked at her phone. Two in the afternoon. Six hours out cold. "Why didn't you wake me up Dominic?" she asked. "You needed rest," Dominic said. "All of us did." Connor was sitting in the chair asleep. Jake was knocked out on the bed snoring. Next room over Carol was talking quiet to Wrench.

His eyes snapped open and the darkroom that was lit with only one bee sized light lit it up made his thoughts muddle, it was such a strange emotion of not recognizing anything until his eyes landed on his daughter in the bassinet in front of him. The knock came again and he turned his attention to the viewing glass and saw that Jade was standing there with tears in his eyes as he was held up by the twins. Mateo immediately got up and walked towards the window and saw that his mate had tears in his eyes. >Mateo, you are awake?< Jade asked him through the mate link. Mateo was surprised, he did not know that Jade knew how to use the link but he guessed that he must have figured it out some way.

he yelled while shaking Neo who grabbed onto his pillow, tightening his eyes and refusing to wake up. Ash turns to me, "Can I hit him?" He asks. "Oh no honey," I scream, rushing to *ssist Ash in waking Neo up. "Neo… wake up," I say. "Thirty seconds mama," he murmurs. "Ash wants to talk to you, so you're gonna have to wake up right now, please…." At long last, Neo sluggishly gets up from bed and sits up, staring at Ash and me, he's angry with sleep all over his face.

He looked ancient now, like a wizard, but the power in his veins kept him alive. Suddenly, the electronic gates of the training ground sparked and short-circuited. Zzzzt. "Alex!" Mia yelled at the sky. "Stop hacking the gym!" A drone descended from the clouds, projecting a hologram. Alex Sterling (20 years old). He was sitting in his dark command center deep inside the mountain cave. He wore a headset and glasses, surrounded by screens. "I didn't hack the gym. It was the electromagnetic resonance from Nova," Alex’s voice bored through the drone. "She had a nightmare again."
