Just For Me

"No, 'Ma'. It makes me feel better. Safer." She nodded her head and offered me some food. After our meal she told me to get ready.

"Ready? Ready for what?" She handed me some new clothes and told me to go change. I looked in the mirror at my reflection, "What the hell am I wearing?! These aren't clothes!" I was now wearing a black strapless bra with a tan see-through sleeveless top, and thin off white harem pants. Ma walked in and gasped.

"Don't you look so cute!" I raised my eyebrows at her.

"Uh, what cute? Where do I look cute? I've never worn pants that made me feel like a piece of paper could cut them." Laughing Ma tied a shawl around my waist, and pulled my hair back into a messy bun. Ma sat me down and did my make up, and put a necklace and an arm bracelet on me.

"Beautiful." Ma turned me to the mirror.

"Wow." Was all I could say, my eyebrows were perfectly arched, and the eyeliner! She gave me a little dark shade of (your color) lipstick.

"You didn't need too much done, just your eyebrows really. You have a natural beauty, the lipstick just makes your eyes pop out more." I smiled at her giving her a hug. She was right, but it wasn't bad. I actually looked like a Gypsy. A gypsy, with weird ass eyes.

"Come on, or else you're going to be late." Grabbing my hand we rushed out of the door.

"Wait, where are we going?! Ma? Ma! Ma, I don't have any shoes!" When Ma finally turned to me we were at the elevator.

"Hmm? Did you say something?" She asked smiling innocently.

"Yes, I don't have an shoes." She looked down at my feet and starting laughing, "What's so funny?"

"Trust me love, you don't want any shoes right now." We got on the elevator and made our decent.

The doors opened and we walking into the hall full of people. Everyone was going in the same direction and wearing little clothing and no shoes. I walked closely to Ma and she led me to a less crowded area. Morpheus and some of the elders were standing there waiting for me it seemed.

"Ah y/n! I hardly recognized you, you look lovely." I blushed at the elders compliment.

"Thank you, sir." He patted my back and we walking to the inside of a giant cave, it was full of a sea of people. An assortment of reds, blues, whites, tans, and  grays as far as the eye could see. There were torches every three hundred yards and drums on the second level in the cave. The elder had been talking to the crowd about the war and how soon it would over, the crowd cheered and then the elder talked about a newcomer.

"Newcomer?" Turning, he pointed at me. I looked at him with wide eyes as he beckoned me forward.

"Come y/n, introduce yourself to the people."

"I uh, I beg your pardon? In-introduce myself?" I whispered to him, he nodded and brought me into the view of the people. "Oh Lord. That's- that's a lot of people. Shit, they're looking at me! What do I do?" I felt sweat of my brow and wiped it away.

Panic took over and I felt like I was going to pass out. At that moment Morpheus placed his hand on my shoulder and with a loud voice said:

"THIS IS Y/N, SHE IS VERY SPECIAL! NOW EVEN THOUGH SHE ISN'T THE CHOSEN ONE, SHE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT! IT IS MY PERSONAL BELIEF THAT SHE WILL LEAD US TO THE CHOSEN ONE!"

The drums began to play as the  crowd cheered and applauded, glancing at Morpheus I could see a true leader. Looking back at the crowd I saw some familiar faces, Apoc, Switch, Mouse, Dozer and Niobe. Off to the side I saw Doc leaning against the wall smirking at me. Morpheus and I walked back to the rest of the elders and the drums continued to play, soon everyone started dancing. I looked back at Doc who motioned me over to him. I felt someone lightly push me forward, turning I saw that it was Morpheus.

"Welcome to Zion y/n." He said smiling. I smiled back and walked over to Doc.

"Eh, what's up Doc?" Doc bit his lip and nodded his head.

"Really? Okay  Bugs Bunny, let's go for a walk." Smiling we walked out of the cave.

"You know who Bugs Bunny is? Since you know we're in the future and all."

"Well of course! Future or not we aren't cavemen. All things considering." Doc motioned to our surroundings, "Since some of us don't have handjacks we have to learn about our past the old fashion way. That and I love researching useless things." I smiled as I saw a small blush appear on his cheeks. He almost looked like a little kid. 

"So where are we going?"

"Oh I don't know. I was following you." I stopped dead in my tracks, Doc smirked at me losing all trace of the child I once saw.

"What do you mean you were following me? I don't know where anything is here." Doc took my hand and we continued to walk.

"You look nice by the way." I looked down at my clothes.

"Thanks, I guess." I said looking at our hands.

"Don't you think so? You look great, well kind of."

"Kind of?!" He chuckled and handed me a napkin.

"What's this for?" We walked into a room and he showed me the mirror. My eyeliner was starting to get smudged, probably from the sweat that was forming when I was put on the spot.

"Dammit. This is why I don't do make up." Taking the napkin I removed the eyeliner, I was about to remove the lipstick when Doc's hand shot out and grabbed my wrist.

"Leave it, it's fine." He didn't let go until I nodded in agreement.

"Weird." I thought to myself. "How come you don't want me to take off the lipstick?"

"It's better for the both of us if you just keep it on." He began walking to the door and I followed after him.

"Alright then." Stepping out in the hallway you could still hear the drums and feel the vibrations from all the jumping the people were doing. We were going to continue walking when we saw the shadows of two people coming towards us. They stopped short and began doing whatever, I raised my eyebrows in surprise as the shadows were merging into one. Doc shook his head smirking, turning to walk the other way I heard a familiar voice.
