Lara's Secret
It has been three years since Lara Croft was rescued from Yamatai after the endurance crashed on the island.
It's the year 2017 and a large ship titled "The Retriever" is sailing across the Pacific Ocean on its way to New Zealand. From the back of the ship you can see a young woman about 5'11 wearing a white t-shirt with a red plaid button shirt over top. She has on blue jeans along with black combat boots. And her hair is in a messy brown ponytail with her bangs hanging down just slightly over her eyes. Her name is Lara Croft.
Her eyes are closed and she has a relaxed yet troubled look on her face. She has been having flash backs for the past few weeks now. She opens her eyes and sees the dark blue ocean before her, something she was a little to use to being around.
She heard yelling from the front of the boat, she heard Reyes and Jonah arguing about which one of them was stronger. From hearing this Lara smiled a bit, something that had been happening very rarely lately.
She had become very paranoid lately, just feeling a bit of a shutter when on a boat made her stomach drop immediately. So when this happened (which was just Reyes winning an arm wrestle against Jonah and knocking over the table) made her jump and just about scream.
She runs to the front of the boat (which is not a very long walk) and asked Reyes what had happened. Reyes had dark skin black hair pulled back in to a thick motionless ponytail; she had on brown cargo pants with dirty sneakers and a black t-shirt.
"Nothing" Reyes said immediately "Jonah and I were just settling an argument with a bit of physical combat" there was a bit of a chuckle in her voice.
Lara looked behind Reyes to see Jonah a big beefy man with long black dread locks he was wearing a white t-shirt with a bloody knife on it; black shorts and black sandals. He was rubbing his hand in a matter that suggested that it was sore.
"Do you want some ice for that?" said an amused voice in the distance. Sam walked in wearing a bright red V-neck long sleeved shirt white skinny jeans and black high heel boots about up to her knees.
"I think I'll be ok" answered Jonah
"But you didn't answer my question" said Sam in almost a laugh "Do you want ice for that?" signaling his now throbbing hand.
"No" said Jonah bluntly.
"Well it's getting late so I'm going to bed" said Lara
"Alright" said Reyes "but we are starting early tomorrow so be up by five"
"Goodnight little bird" said Jonah
*An hour later in Lara's quarters*
Lara was looking in the mirror, brushing her hair and thinking about Alex. She thought about the last time she saw him and the last thing she said to him "I'm not leaving without you!" her vision was ended by a huge jolt and Lara thought the worst.
