Prologue
The clouds were just beginning to part to let the small amount of rare sunshine to flow through: the rain had stopped a few minutes ago. Slowly making her way down the small pavement, the trees jutting out and brushing against her occasionally, she reached the tall gates. Stopping, she took a glance at Croft Manor in the distance.
Is that really...?
She didn't hesitate walking straight through seeing as the gates were wide open. Moving quickly down the long gravel path, jogging up to the doors of the house, briefly halting to gather her courage which she had lost for the first time in the last nineteen years of her life and going over the small amounts of information which lead her to believe this was the right place, she knocked on the door.
Waiting for someone to answer the door she quickly took the time she had to take a closer look around noticing the sun nearly out of its usual constant cover of clouds: taking in the appearance she realised that not much had changed and the fact reassured her, that everything looked familiar.
Finally the door opened revealing a brown eyed, long haired brunette.
"Yes?" the brunette raised her eyebrow "Can I help you?"
She even sounds familiar. It should be a relief but what on earth am I supposed to say?
"Are you, by any chance, Lara Croft?"
"Yes, that would be me" Looking a little amused and annoyed she focused on the raven haired girl who looked a little over twenty in her doorway.
"Well, then, I hope I don't sound like a complete idiot but," She broke her hands free of the clasp they had been in behind her back and looked Lara in the eyes, gathering the remaining shreds of the courage she had built up minutes ago she said; "I'm your long lost sister" she sighed "At least that's what I think and hope to be"
AN/ This is the first Tomb Raider story I've ever tried to write and I just want to find out if Lara and the rest of the characters are IN character. If not please tell me!
