Lara looked down from the rope she was hanging on, upside down. Her grip
was loosening, and she was losing her balance. She gasped as she let go,
and flipped onto the floor.
The cold, damp, dark room was covered with cobwebs. She started walking toward a shiny artifact ahead sitting on rock, until she stopped. She heard violin music in the back of her and started to smile. She started walking again, but in her fourth step, she stopped dead in her tracks.
Suddenly, a big giant robot crashed a stone column above her. She rolled to the side, pulled out her guns, and pulled the triggers like crazy. The robot was about six feet tall, with guns as arms. It had a head, arms, legs, and big crimson eyes.
Of course, the bullets, were only denting the metal beast. It swung at Lara's head but she ducked and slid under the robot's legs. She shot at some rocks, that fell on the robot. The robot lay under it, lifeless. Lara reloaded her guns adn walked over the rocks that cover the robot. She walked slowly, and took her time, he guns pointed at the pile beneath her.
Then, the beast emerged from underneath her grabbing her, and dragging her to the floor. The robot was trying to cut her with it's razor saws on its arms, but Lara was still holding them. She was having a hard time with the robot until she screamed.
"ANNA!!!!!!!!" she yelled at the top of her voice.
* * * *
Anna was playing a vivaldi concerto on her violin. She could hear the gunshots from downstairs. She tried to concentrate on her notes than on the loud noise. It was calling to her. "Anna! Anna!!"
It was tempting her to just go down there and help her mum, destroy Bryce's new droid. She just had to pick up her new .45 and go in there in start shooting. But she knew she couldnt unless she had permission from Mum. "Argh," she muttered underneath her breath as she was playing.
She hated live rounds, ok... she LOVED live rounds. She couldnt help destroying things and going on her adventures. I must get it from mum, she thought. Suddenly, she heard a scream.
"ANNA!!!" it called. Woah, she must be dreaming or was that really mum. "ANNA!!!!" it called again. She smiled, put down her violin, and grabbed her belt that contained her guns and bullet. "Yes, yes yes!!!" she said. She ran down the stairs into the glass room where Bryce was playing video games and Hillary was dusting.
She ran into the practice room, where she saw her mother in a wrestling match with a big robot. She ran, and jumped on the droid and started shooting at it and started hitting it with all of her strength. "You big, stupid...." she started screaming.
The robot stopped trying to kill Lara, and payed attention to Anna. It knocked her off it's back with a hard blow sending Anna flying across the room. "Oh, BITCH" she screamed.
Then, Lara came out of nowhere and went on top of the robot. She opened the wire compartment, and ripped out all the wires she could. The droid stopped in its tracks and collapsed onto the ground. Its big, drak red eyes were no more that a blank screen.
She sighed as she started heading to her daughter. Anna was rubbing her head and wiping her face, since it was so dusty. "Anna," Lara said, pulling her up, "What, did I say about your language..." Anna rolled her eyes. "Oh, god mum. I was distracted ok? It knocked me right across into the wall. I was mad, that's all." Lara smiled. "Well, at least you distracted it. Thanks for saving the day."
Anna smiled back at her mother. "It's my job mum." Just then the robot started getting up again. Mother and daughter both grabbed their guns at the same time, and started shooting. Their looks were identical, so it looked like there was Lara Croft, and a mini-me standing right next to her.
The droid, then again collapsed on the ground and started to have smoke coming out of its backside. The two, put their guns back into their belts. They walked to the shiny object that stood on the rock. Anna found that it was a small shiny case. Lara grabbed it, and opened it.
Inside were two carmels, with a cream center in the middle. "Ahhhh, my favorite, carmel creams." Lara said while popping one in her mouth. "Would you care for one dear?" she asked with her mouth full. "Is this all we get, for shooting that THING down? After all the work we've done?" Anna screamed.
"Well, what else do you want Anna, I already gave you a .45 for your birthday." Lara asked. Anna sighed. "I...I... I wanna bungee jump with you mum." she said while smiling. Lara looked at her with strict eyes and shook her head. "No, no, no, no, no. No bungee cords until your older. You know, your father would go BALLISTIC! No, no, no, and that's final young lady."
Anna started to whine. "But mum.....im already 14! Daryn got to do it at 14!! That isn't FAIR!!!" Lara rolled her eyes. "Well, you better start acting like you are fourteen. Daryn got to do it because he is a boy and proved he was mature enough to handle it. Besides, I didn't get to bungee jump until I was.....hmmmmm... let me think......oh wait, my first time was at 11! Yes I remember that. It was fun of course. But that's not the point. The point is that, you can't."
"OH GOD MUM! You and dad are like, SO sexist!!!" she screamed, panting afterwards. Lara handed her the carmel cream. "Do you want it, or not?" Anna sighed and took the cream from her hand and popped it into her mouth.
* * * *
Lara walked to her room to take a nice hot bath. Hillary followed her to her room. "Do, you need anything, Lady Croft?" he asked her. Lara undressed right in front of him. Removing a tie from her hair, she shook her head at Hillary. "No, I'm fine Hillary. Thank you."
When she made sure that Hillary was out of the room, she filled her tub with hot water, and sank into the tub. "Hmmmmmmm...." she said while going in, as a sign of relaxation. She thought about her life, about her family, about her enemies. It's been years since her people have tried to kill her. She has gotten so....so...bored.
She thought about Alex. Her Alex. The Alex she had two kids with, the Alex she never married. Yet, they share the same house. Then, she thought about her father. Her beloved father. Her dead father. Her life has been so confusing, that she has trouble understanding it herself.
Lara, never expected to be a mother. Of course, she wasn't that good of a mother, for pete's sake, she lets her kids use guns! "He he he." she laughs. She's the cool mom. She was closing her eyes and thinking so much, she didn't realize the tub was overflowing since she had left the faucet on.
She turned it off and thought more. God, I'm getting dull. Nothing but live rounds, she thought. I need adventure. I need exploring. She groaned to herself, because she knew she wouldn't have it for a LONG time.
