Chapter 1: Shipwrecked

"A famous explorer once said..."

A boat is seen exiting a city, with words "Endurance Plymouth" written on the front.

"...that the extraordinary is in what we do, not who we are."

Lara places her phone on her desk and posts a map in her locker among various other pictures.

"I'd finally set out to make my mark; to find adventure."

Lara closes the locker, which had a mirror. She looked at her reflection.

"But instead, adventure found me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lara sat in her bed, listening to music from her phone, when she heard thunder. Followed by a rumbling sound on the ship.

As she got up to see what was going on, suddenly, the ship was rocked by some waves, causing her to fall out of her bed!

"AAH!" she cried as she hit the floor.

She hit her desk, hard. She got up from where she had fallen, holding her bruised head.

She felt slightly dizzy and knew she had a slight concussion.

She went out into the hallway, only to be greeted by a sheer amount of water flooding the hallway.

Before she could close the door, she ended up getting swept away!

"In our darkest moments…"

As she drifted along the massive water current, she desperately tried to breath. She spotted a ladder and luckily grabbed onto it. She tightened her grip to prevent the rest of her body from being swept away. She climbed up the ladder and swam at the same time and as she hit the surface, she took a deep, but short breath. She climbed the rest of the ladder and pounded on the window of the hatch, knowing that it could only be opened from the other side.

"When life flashes before us…"

"Help!" Lara screamed. Not yelled, but screamed. She was so scared. She kept looking back at the water rising in fear and the window in hope that someone would come. She felt the water go past her neck and she took one more breath before her whole body was completely engulfed in water.

"We find something;"

Even after air was deprived, she kept banging on the window and screaming; her screams coming out as bubbles.

"Out of time."

As her eyes closed and she drifted off in the darkness; her last thoughts were of Owen and how she'd never see him again.

"Something that keeps us going…"

She felt someone grab her forearm in my and pull her up. Once she was out, she coughed up some water while gasping for air. Whoever saved her patted her back to help get rid of the liquid in her lungs.

"Something that pushes us."

"Lara!" Whoever saved her called out, which she recognized was Owen.

Even though they were close to each other, the battle with the ship against the ocean's waves and the thunderstorm was loud enough to block out most of his yell. Owen looked up and saw Roth on the other part of the ship. The force of the Earth's most powerful disasters had completely torn the ship in two and Roth was on the other part. His eyes widened in horror as he quickly realized that their part of the ship was the one that was sinking.

"Come on Lara, we gotta move!" He pulled her up to stand. She looked at him, relieved for a minute.

"RUN!" As he yelled out, he grabbed her hand and made a dash for Roth, all the while never letting go of her hand.

They tripped and stumbled a few times, but never wavered from their sprint to the edge of the ripped ship. Waves crashing into the ship could be felt and heard.

As they neared the edge and readied themselves for a jump to the other side, Lara screamed out and Owen also decided to voice his thoughts at the time which pretty much summed it up.

"AHHHHHH!"

"SSSSHHHHIIIITTTT!"

They both timed the jump just right as they soared through the air. Owen tightened his grip on Lara's hand out of fear and comfort.

As they neared Roth and the ship, Lara reached out for Roth's hand and Owen reached for the edge.

"UGH." The edges ripped and distorted ends met just below his neck and into his chest. He gasped in pain and barely had enough time to tighten his grip so he wouldn't fall.

It didn't work. He could feel the rain pouring all over them and onto the edge that he held onto. The rain was making it hard to hold on as it didn't give him enough friction. He could feel himself sliding off and losing his grip.

He looked over and saw Lara holding onto Roth's hand, so he reluctantly released his grip on her. He needed his other hand to grab more surfaces and make sure he wasn't lost in the dark depth of the ocean. It proved futile as he could still feel himself slipping.

Owen glanced over at Lara as she looked at him with fear in her eyes. She knew just as much as he did that he was falling. The only reason she wasn't was because Roth had a good grip on her hand, but even he could tell she was slipping through his hands by the seconds.

"HELP!" Owen cried out.

By now he was hanging onto his fingertips and he looked up at Roth. Roth couldn't get him since he was using both hands to hold himself and Lara. He looked at him with worry as he struggled to hold Lara and a look as if to say "I'm sorry".

With the last of his strength to keep himself up as long as he could, Owen glanced at Lara. Her beautiful elegant British face that he had come to love was now filled with horror. She knew he was going to fall to his death, so she reached out to grab him.

"Grab on!" She wanted to save him. It was worth a shot.

Owen couldn't hold on much longer and he was losing his strength to hold on. He swung his legs back. He needed to time it right. He swung towards her and let go. He altered his body and lurched forward to increase his range and hopefully grab onto her.

He didn't.

As he passed and reached for her, all he could feel was her smooth fingertips brush against his as he fell to a watery grave. He could make out her tears even in the rain as she saw him descend in the ocean.

"LAARRRAAAAAAA!"

"OWWWEEEEEEEEN!"

'I just lost him. I lost my Owen.' Lara thought while crying. She could still picture his face as he descended into the ocean and it tore her heart in two. She couldn't believe what just happened. Unfortunately, she wasn't given the luxury of time to grieve as she felt something dreadful.

She was losing her grip on Roth.

She looked up at his face one last time before the harsh storms took her from his grip.

She fell.

She screamed.

Then all was silent as she plunged into the ocean.

As the storm continued to rage on...Lara was suddenly washed up on the beach.

She crawled along the sand, coughing up water.

Then she collapsed in the sand and coughed more.

She heard voices in the distance and saw Reyes and Jonah up on a cliff a good distance away from her.

She tried to call out to them, but the sound of the storm (plus the sound of Whitman complaining) drowned her out.

She got up and looked around, but something hit the back of her head, knocking her unconscious.

When she awoke...everything looked upside-down, for some reason...until she realized she was hanging upside-down, tied up in rope and hanging by her legs like a side of beef in a butcher store.

"Lara, thank God!" A familiar she never thought she'd hear again spoke next to her.

She soon turned to see Owen...except he had a bloody temple and he was in the same position Lara was in, but other than that, he was alive!

"Owen!" Lara exclaimed. "Thank God, I thought I'd lost you!"

"Me too," Owen replied. "I'd hug you, but I'm a little tied up at the moment."

"Where are we, anyway?" Lara asked.

"I dunno!" Owen said. "Some maniac dragged us up here! He said he wanted to help us!"

"Well, I'd hardly call this help!" Lara answered.

She tried to wriggle out of the sack she was tied in.

"Don't bother, I already tried," Owen said. "This is tighter than Whitman's ass."

"Brilliant..." Lara muttered before she looked over at a nearby lit torch. "...Oh, dear. Um...Owen? I have an idea...but it's going to hurt."

Owen looked at Lara, then at the torch, and then put on a dreadful look while murmuring "Oh, hell no..."

She started to swing back and forth until she bumped another tied up sack into the torch.

Soon, her body was lit on her fire, causing her to scream from the burning.

"Lara!" Owen cried, only to get burned when Lara swung back toward him. "AAAAAAAAH! SHIT, THAT HURTS!"

The fire burnt the sack and ropes quickly, causing them to fall to the rocky, bone covered floor several feet below them.

Both made different sounds when they landed; Owen grunted, but Lara screamed in pain!

And as Owen got up, he saw why: there was an iron rod impaling her side!

"Oh, god!" he cried as he ran to help Lara. "Lara...hold still, okay?"

She just nodded.

He yanked it out quickly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Lara screamed before she collapsed on the ground, but Owen helped her stand up.

"Come on, let's go," said Owen. "That freak will be back any minute!"

She held her bleeding side as he helped her walk.

There were hundreds upon thousands of human bones scattered around the cave.

As they came to another part, there was a dead body tied to the wall, surrounded by candles.

"Oh, my god...!" Owen whispered in horror.

"Oh...no, no...!" Lara muttered. "What happened to you?"

Owen looked around and found a torch on the wall, which he picked up.

"Come on, Lara," he said as he began to lead her along. "Come on, hurry."

As they walked, Lara accidentally kicked a glass bottle, which smashed against the floor.

"Oh, that was loud," Lara whispered, and suddenly, she and Owen heard muttering.

"Crap," Owen cursed as he and Lara kept moving. "He's coming this way!"

Owen used the torch to light an old sail that was tied to a post and a mast hanging on the wall.

The fire spread to a wall covered with rocks, metal grates, and a barrel of gas.

"Get down!" Owen shouted as he and Lara ducked down and covered their ears as the explosion occurred.

They climbed up and ducked down to crawl under the nearly collapsing ceiling, when suddenly they were grabbed from behind!

"AAH!" Lara screamed as she turned to see a bearded man with a backpack and cargo pants.

"LET GO OF HER, YOU BASTARD!" Owen yelled as he tried to pull Lara away from him, but then Lara kicked the man in the face, causing him to let her go, and just in time, too, for a boulder collapsed, blocking his way.

"Wait!" he called. "Come back! Come on...just come back!"

"Screw you!" Owen yelled.

"That was close..." Lara gasped. "Oh shit, that was close..."

"Let's hurry and get outta here," said Owen. "He'll try and find a way to get to us again, I'm sure."

They moved down the tunnel, crouched, and had to move through some chin-deep water.

They both tried to keep their heads afloat, but now and then, they'd find themselves underwater for just a moment. Eventually, though, they did manage to make it out to the other side.

They walked under a small waterfall, which put out the torch, and found a way out.

But it was blocked by metal gratings put haphazardly together, along with a few barrels of gasoline.

"Well, this is a fine predicament," said Owen. "Now what do we do?"

Lara looked to the right, spotting some kind of slide for supplies, and a counter-weight for a lift.
"Look!"

"What about it?" asked Owen as he looked at the mechanism.

"If we dump those supplies near the wall, and then set them on fire," Lara began, "We can get out!"

"Alright babe!" Owen exclaimed.

Lara smiled at Owen's praise. Even if the situation looked dire, at least she had him by his side and that made it a little better.

"I'm going to need your help with this, Owen," she said.

"Right," Owen followed her.

Lara went over to the lift, preparing to dump the supplies in the slide while Owen stood nearby with the torch.

"When I give the signal, light them!" called Lara.

"Roger!" Owen replied.

Soon, Lara began to dump the crates into the lift.

Owen lit the crates and pushed them down the slide.

Soon, he and Lara covered their ears as the explosion occurred. As they did, though, the water began to rise.

The cave also started to shake!

"I think that did a lot more harm than good!" Owen said.

"Let's get out of here, hurry!" Lara cried.

They waded through the water to the other side and ran out.

There were two sources of sunlight, indicating two exits, but the left one got blocked by piling rocks, so they ran to the right one.

As they did, the floor collapsed and they slid down the rocky floor, moving around to dodge tree branches.

"WHOA! WHOOOOOOAAA!" Owen cried before he dodged another branch. "LOOK OUT!"

They finally came to a stop on flatter ground, but it kept breaking apart, so they had to jump to the parts of floor that remained.

But then, as they were about to crawl under a boulder, the maniac came back and grabbed Lara again!

"AAH!" Lara screamed as she struggled to get free. "LET GO, YOU BASTARD!"

"I'm just trying to help you!" cried the man while Owen pulled on Lara's arm.

When Lara saw a chance, she kicked the man in the face, which made him let go.

He tried to crawl after them again, but a boulder fell from the ceiling and crushed his head.

"Hurry up! Let's get outta here!" Owen shouted.

They made it out of the narrow space and saw they had to jump to the next part, which was a steep hill, but it finally led to outside.

"We can make it!" Owen called as he pointed to the light up ahead. "We're almost there!"

They ran to the edge, jumped and made it to the hill, but it was wet, so it was slippery.

Owen dropped the torch, but paid it no mind as he clawed at the hill to climb up, with Lara right behind him.

They had to dodge boulders and branches, but they kept climbing.

They were a few feet away from the exit when the ceiling started falling down in front of it.

"OH COME ON!" Owen exclaimed.

Luckily, they managed to get out before the exit was blocked.

They both gasped for air when they got outside, and collapsed with exhaustion and relief.

"We made it...!" Owen said as he held Lara's hand, causing her to look at him. "We made it, Lara..."

"...We did," she said.

They hugged each other in relief.

"I thought you'd died," Lara sighed.

"I'm sorry," Owen said.

Lara winced at the wound in her side.

Owen helped her stand up and they looked around.

There was part of a wrecked plane on the cliff they were on. Looking over the ocean and the rocks surrounding the island, there was a graveyard of wrecked ships, some of them were galleons.
