Chapter 2: memories
I came to the bus station and bought a ticket to Scotland, I didn't know why there but I just wanted to be as far as possible from the people I loved the most. I got my ticket and looked at the time, I only had 10 minutes left before the bus would leave so I went to the little shop and bought myself a take-away coffee. It is still morning and I felt like I didn't have the energy to walk or to stay up anymore. I looked for my bus after taking my coffee and paying for it, there is only 5 minutes left and I just started walking, keeping an eye out for bus 657.
Not far away, I found the bus, there is now just 2 minutes left and I quickly walked to the ticket man and handed him my ticket. After that I climbed in and sat myself at the window in the third row on the left side in front. Not long after that the bus started to move and I looked at the city I was in as the bus approached the exit of the city. I felt sad for leaving them all behind but it is for the best, isn't it? I sipped my coffee, and thought again about the Yamatai trip and how I lost almost everyone.
Mathias brings Sam to Himiko's previous body.
Mathias calls Himiko "Oh great Queen, though the trails I have brought you the vessel pour forth and return to this mortal coil." He goes on "Pour forth and be reborn and awaken!"
The decaying corpse comes to life, and her soul begins to transfer to Sam, who is powerless against it, and rendered unconscious, as Lara battles her way to her friend.
Mathias goes on calling Himiko "Pour forth and fill up this mortal coil, Rise! Rise with the rain, may your soul seep in filling this vessel. Upon these winds, Rise! Rise! Himiko from the storms I bring your life…" As the Himiko's soul fill Sam's body Lara Screams "Hold on Sam" and hear Mathias go on with the ceremony
"May the winds carry you essence, Rise, great sun Queen, Awaken my Queen. Awaken! Here now, your vessel awaits."
Lara almost shoots the body of Himiko when Mathias shoots her bow out of her hands "No!" he shouts at her and he runs at her, she pulls out her pistol and aims it at him but he is too fast for her and hits the pistol out of her hand and hits her in the face making her almost fall to the ground. Lara then takes out her Axe.
"This ends now!" Mathias shouts and Lara hits him in the back with the axe but it doesn't kill him yet and he takes out the axe while Lara, who is on the ground now grabs his pistol on his side and starts shooting him and as she gets up she grabs her pistol that's laying nearby and shoots him multiple time until he falls of the edge of the ruin.
Lara then turns to where Sam and Himiko's body is and stabs Himiko's body with a flame torch making her scream and stopping her soul from transferring to Sam's body.
Sam is now lying on the ground and Lara bens down by her side "Sam! Oh Sam, thank god."
"Urgg...Wha? Sam tries to speak as she comes to "Lara... What's happening?"
"Shhh…shhh…I'm here. You're safe now. It's okay…It's okay." Lara calms Sam down
"You save me… I know you would." Sam speaks to Lara
"I made you a promise. Let's get you home." As Lara tells Sam the sun cuts through the clouds, the curse has been lifted.
If I didn't save Sam that day I would have lost her to. Lara don't go there it's in the past, Sam is back in Japan with her father and she is safe. But the thought that if hadn't save her that day, Himiko would've once again ruled that land and that mad man Mathias would still live and Me and the rest would've been dead. Sight, I must stop think about that day, that day is where I took my father's footsteps and look where it brought me.
