Chapter 1
You open your eyes... you are in the shanty town being chased down by the Solarii. You realise that Sam has been taken to the 'Throne Room' by Father Matthias. You panic and anxiety starts to take over your body. Suddenly, everything goes black. When you open your eyes, you find yourself sitting up in panic, in your room of your university dorm. Sam, being your roommate, notices you woke up suddenly and asks, "It's another nightmare, isn't it?" You make a long, tired sigh and say, "I... don't want to talk about it." Trying to avoid a conversation about this horrible subject. "Lara, you should get some sleep... it's only three in the morning, and we have a test tomorrow." She smiles to you reassuringly, and you nod to agree to her suggestion. Letting the silence in the room give you a peaceful slumber.
You feel your shoulder moving back and forth furiously as Sam tries to wake you up, "Lara! It's 9:00, t your test starts half an hour from now!" shouted Sam. You roll out of bed as quickly as you can and you end up wearing your clothes over your Pyjamas and leave your room, pulling up your hair as you run towards the door with your backpack on one of your shoulders.
"Lara, you're late for the test, it's not like you." Said the professor, shaking his head with disapproval. "I'm so sorry, my alarm didn't work and I literally woke up just now. I'm... sorry..." you said sheepishly, "Ok ok... let's just hope you're awake enough to concentrate on the test." Said the professor.
You were very well prepared for the test, and besides, it was an archaeology test, so you probably knew she answers to this test since your childhood. You complete the test half an hour before your time limit because you knew all the answers by heart. Having nothing to do, you rest your head on your arms.
Suddenly, your eye lids feel heavier and heavier, until it all goes black.
Once you open your eyes, you find yourself in the 'Throne Room', chasing after Father Matthias while he's pulling Sam behind him. You try to shoot him with your bow, but you miss. You suddenly feel a huge thump on your head and everything goes black... again.
When you wake up from your unconsciousness, you find yourself back in your class, breathing heavily, with no one in your class but your teacher, "Ah! You finally woke up. I tried to wake you up but... well... you just didn't!" "Oh God... I'm so sorry. The flashbacks..." The professor knew your father well, and about the Yamatai 'incident', so you trusted him. "Oh... I thought they stopped... I want to help you but, I just simply don't know how!"
You return to your room, and you find Sam watching TV, answering the questions of the game show she was watching. Sam heard you close the door, and she saw fear in your eyes. "Hey, Lara, I need to tell you something..." Sam told you, feeling slightly nervous. Her hand went up to the back of her neck and started to rub it, adding to her nervous look. "What is it? Sam... What happened?" You start to feel worried for what she's going to tell you. That she'll tell you something about that God forsaken place. "Lara, I... I've been having Nightmares... about Yamatai... that you were running towards me, trying to catch up... That guy... He was pulling me..." Her voice starts shaking, and stops as the trembling couldn't be controlled, trying to not make the crying evident, but you knew that she was. "Sam, you don't have to continue... I... I had the nightmares aswell... but this time, I was chasing you. And then... It just all goes black." You sit next to her on the couch, and smiled at her reassuringly, and Sam eagerly returned it.
