A/N: This was originally a Tomb Raider story but I decided to alter it.
I prefer this version anyhow...I might make this story into a series of one-shots...
I'm gunna try and juggle both of my TP stories...and hopefully not fail...
Captain Amelia has to be afraid of something right…? And it just has to be something humorously stupid and small…
Only Human
She screamed, the high pitched tremors that left her throat seemed to vibrate off the bathroom walls and down the hall way.
She was terrified.
The three other occupants of the house hold heard what was last of the sounds echo, before hearing another, similar verbalisation…
"DELBERT!"
No doubt about it that it was Amelia's, her highly accented voice was unmistakable even in times such as this.
The canid also known as Delbert and his two companions, Jim and Sarah, hurriedly made their way up the many stairs and down many countless hallways until reaching the bedroom he shared with Amelia.
Delbert opened it cautiously, and entered into the large room on seeing no danger, and yet from the definite area of the bathroom came another blood curdling scream, albeit in a slightly higher pitch.
"DELBERT!"
The three of them rushed into the adjoining bathroom, and there stood in the furthest corner from the bathtub stood Amelia, her face was pale and she wore a look of pure fright, her eyes were wide and her arms were wrapped around her body in a protective manner.
Upon seeing the others enter the room Amelia pointed in the direction of the bathtub with an unsteady finger.
Three pairs of eyes followed to were her finger was pointed, and sat on the edge of the bath was a relatively small spider. So small in fact that both Jim and Sarah had to squint to see it.
Mother and son looked at one another and then back at Amelia, laughing loudly at their friend's look of absolute shock, before leaving Delbert to remove the small insect before frightening their friend further.
"Women and spiders, something I'll never understand…" Jim mention as the two made their way back downstairs, hoping his mother hadn't heard his comment.
"She spends most of her time in life threatening situations and you're telling me she's afraid of a small thing like that," Jim continued pointing his thumb over his shoulder, "doesn't she hang round with those things in some of the ships she plays in?"
Sarah shrugged unknowingly, "She's probably distracted by something far more important," she said putting a hand to jims shoulder
"At least we now know that she's human after all…" Jim muttered as he walked into library of Delbert's house, he picked up the book he had been studying from and flicked through the pages before adding "everyone's afraid of something!"
End...
