Author's Note
Hey guys, let me just say a few things before I get this story going. I'm a junior in high school so when I have work/drama club/sports/homework it might take me a little bit to post a new chapter but I'll try not to make anyone ever wait longer than a week. After all, I love to write and read. I know how annoying it is when someone stops updating a story.
I will try to have my grammar as accurate as possible. I cannot stand improper grammar unless it is in someone's speech pattern. I love music, so if it is incorporated into my story in some way, that's why. Rock love.
As for this story, well obviously it's Tomb Raider. I love that a woman has been made a lead, strong, role. Lara doesn't need a man and that kicks butt! If she was to have a man though, well, it would have to be the dashing Alex West.
I have a different view of Alex then most. Just because he's after money doesn't mean he's poor. Usually it is the rich who are greedier than the poor. In my eyes, Alex is not poor. Also I believe that he was/is the one for Lara. Terry (TR:COL) used to ask Lara if he was the love of her life and he told her flat out that she loved him, as if he was trying to convince her. Terry was awesome, and I'm not saying that Lara didn't love him, but he was willing to kill her and she was willing to kill him, aka, not true love.
But when Alex had Lara cornered on the waterfall, gun pointed at her, she asked "Are you going to shoot me Alex?" and he couldn't. He let her escape. Then, when Alex was dying, Lara kissed him goodbye and she even turned back time so that she could save his life. That sounds more like love to me.
Anyway, I'm sure that's quite enough of my muttering. On with the story right?
