Serioa looked at the relic, she saw her reflection
in the mirror like jewel, a tear started to roll down her cheek,
"this will end all the pain, all of the
anger and sorrow"
she held the artefact in the air with both
hands, it metalled around her hands and formed around her causing intense
pain, changing her, making her intentions clear,
"Lara this time you will pay"
an evil smile swept across her face she looked at
the mirror across the tomb.
she felt better than she had ever before she felt
stronger more agile and powerful she walked over to it and looked at it and
smashed it with no effort,
"this time I will have the glory,"
Lara lowered her self into the tomb and called to
her associates that she was ok one of them dropped down after her
"I work alone."
she said softly
"well this time you don't, I know more about this
tomb than you do miss croft"
with coolness in his voice, Lara
replied,
"well this time I could use a little
help"
he walked over to the broken mirror across of
the tomb
"this was never meant to be broken"
Lara glanced over at the empty handed
goddess where the artefact was meant to be saw it wasn't
there and immediately ran over.
"this was never meant to be stolen"
Lara waited for a response and when she turned
around,
she saw a woman holding his neck back ready to snap
it
she did just that.
"Chris!!!!"
he fell to the floor with a thump.
Lara looked up at the woman.
"hello Lara,nice to see you again"
Lara stood in amazement, who was this girl she
looked at her she knew her some how,
Lara moved closer to her but the girl put up her
hand and Lara couldn't move
"perhaps you don't know who I am Lara, let me
remind you,can you ember the freezing cold,how you though you were the only
survivor do you know what it was like to live alone no-one knowing if your dead
or alive?it hurts Lara, you never checked to see if anyone was still
alive"
Lara suddenly knew who she was, Serioa her best
friend who died in the plane crash along with the rest her friends,Lara felt
like crying but couldn't she had to keep strong as her best friend had taken all
of the power of the element stone,
she moved close to Lara and raised her arm up
Lara was lifted off the ground was let down at the edge of a spike filled
hole,
the woman let her down and put her self in a
fighting pose.
"lets finish this."
Lara ran towards her, the woman put a ring of fire
around her and Lara jumped through the burning fire and knocked the woman on her
back.
"very good Lara but came you be live
game?"
two panthers appeared from behind her
Lara ran toward the pit and jumped right in
sending the panthers to there death,
but before she could hit the bottom she grabbed the
roots of a tree,
"say good by Lara."
she raised her hands to kill Lara
"if you kill me where will it stop?you will kill
everyone for not knowing you existed,"
the woman stooped and fell to her knees
loneliness scared her,
"what am im doing? Lara help me
please.."
she cried and pulled off the artefact
Lara who was already up by this time sat down
beside her and hugged her for now Lara was no longer alone....
I visit Lara now and again, we sometimes go
adventuring together, and what of the element stone I hear you
call?
