Hey guys ! So this is a really really short story I wrote a while ago and I wanted to share it with you ! Please notice that english is not my first language (I started learning only two years ago) and a few (or more) mistakes may remain even after I proof checked the text. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this tiny one-shot and feel free to review and/or message me if you want to. Enjoy :)
P.S : Lara's thoughts are in italic
Just a few more minutes before death.
A few more minutes of pain and blood.
A few more minutes of Sam gently stroking my hair as I lie on the deck of our makeshift boat. You are so beautiful. I wish I had told you about my feelings before all that Yamataï thing happened. Now I'm too weak to even open my mouth.
A few more minutes until I leave her all alone. I'm sorry.
A few more minutes before nothing matters anymore. I wish I could scream my lungs out. I'm so cold.
A few more minutes before the cold stops.
A few more minutes before I join my parents on the other side. I hope they are waiting for me.
I shoot a quick glance at Sam. I can see in her eyes that she doesn't realize the gravity of the situation. You don't need to know.
A few more minutes before I close my eyes and never open them again.
A few more minutes before peace and eternity. I wish I could spend it with you.
A few more minutes and these cries of agony echoing in my head will stop forever. They are calling my name.
A few more minutes and I will pay for the lives I took. Alex, Roth, I am sorry.
Minutes have passed by, slipped through my fingers. It's time. I'm not cold anymore. I'm not scared anymore.
Sam, please forgive me.
