Tomb raider :let the monster in
chapter 4
Winston tilted Alisters head first left the right.
-It doesn't look like he has any bump...I don't think that this sudden memory loss was caused by any kind of force towards his head.
Lara was sitting in the couch beside zip, she bit her lower lip.
-That's strange. She said in a low voice.
-Alister how are you feeling now? Alister looked at Lara and sighed.
-Well other than I'm very very confused, I feel fine.
-You don't have any headache or something? Zip asked, concerned.
-No..not really, except my arm hurts a little.
He said and rubbed his sore arm.
-Well that must have happened when the monster dropped you to the floor. Lara mumbled.
-When what dropped me to the floor? Alister stared at her, confused as always.
Ignoring him Lara continued.
-I think Amanda was here, she somehow must have awoken the creature without touching the stone.
-But how's that even possible? Zip wrinkled his eyebrows.
-I don't know, that's what we got to figure out, we have to get some more information about this beast first.
Zip smiled. -Well that's easy! right before this happened Alister told me that he had found something interesting about it! He turned toAalister who was sitting on the couch infront of him.
-what are you talking about? He huffed as a response.
-oh yeah, memory loss. The hacker pouted and leaned back in the sofa.
-well there's not much we can do about that at the moment, we will just have to find the information again. Lara shook her head.
-And I never got my tea… She mumbled.
-Did you just say tea? The archeologist asked, with a pleading tone to his voice.
-I will fix you some tea lady croft. Winston smiled and went out of the room.
-so when do we start? Zip asked.
-Tomorrow morning. She nodded and then looked around.
-and we have to fix this place up.
_______________________________
It was getting late, and Lara had suggested everyone went to bed so they could start working early the next day. She had also asked Zip to take Alister to his room.
walking through the dark hallway, Alister was looking around, impressed by the size and all the expensive furniture.
- This place is really big isn't it?
Zip looked around at him.
-You get used to it.
They reached the door to Alisters room and Zip opened it.
-well here it is al, hope you feel at home...again.
Alister went inside. He looked around, once again fascinated by the size.
He walked towards one of the big windows and looked outside at the great maze in the garden, with a small smile he glanced back at zip.
-I'm still not used to you calling me that...this room is really big!
-it's yours, now jump in bed. The hacker stated and smiled weakly.
Alister turned around.
-Sorry, but this really is new to me. He almost hissed, annoyed that zip was hurrying him.
-No it's not Alister. He sighed and noticed the sad and confused look on Alisters face. Zip shook his head.
-Sorry but I'm not used to you yet, the new version at least. He frowned.
The bookworm rose an eyebrow and turned around and looked at the bed.
-Ah well newer mind I will see you tomorrow I guess. He flapped his hand in a "forget it gesture.
Zip just nodded and closed the door.
Oh god, this should prove interesting.
He went back to his own room.

Lara had told the others to go to sleep, but she couldn't get a blink herself. her mind kept going back to the stone and Amanda, now sitting in front of her laptop she had decided to do some late night research, which was a lot easier said than done, there didn't seem to be anyone who had heard about it.
Top of Form
The tomb raider rubbed her tempest and grunted.
bother, bother, nothing is ever easy!
She sighed and leaned back, shooting an evil glance at the laptop before closing it.
This is pointless, I might as well try to sleep again, I'm not getting anything done like this..
Lara mumbled to herself as she made her way over to her giant bed. The stone floor was cool and she felt relaxed walking bare feet over it in the moonlight. She quickly changed into her night garment and jumped into bed.
As she cuddled under her soft cotton blankets her thoughts kept returning to the days happenings.
Letting out yet another sight as she lay her head down on the pillow and slowly closing her eyes she thought.
I wonder if my Father ever had these kind of problem…
Lara quickly opened her eyes again and flung herself out of bed.
-What if...!
Quickly she opened her nightstand and started searching through it.
-How come it newer occurred to me before? My father must have heard something about it!
She mumbled, kicking herself mentally for not seeing the obvious.
-But...where is it?
Lara asked herself puzzled after searching through the cabinet the third time.
proceeding with empting the wooden stand and searching the one on the other side she still couldn't find her father's book.
-I know that I put it here! I always put it here! Lara growled annoyed and frustrated.
-the others know better than to go through my stuff, and even if they did they would at least be smart enough to return whatever they took afterwards!
Getting even more frustrated now the tomb raider kicked a bunch of paper she had thrown out of the nightstand, paper flew everywhere making the room look even more messy. One piece got stuck in one of the curtains in front of the giant window. Lara grunted and grabbed the small piece of paper, but when she looked outside she remembered what she thought she had seen earlier today when she went to get Excalibur.
-Amanda! She- but how? How is that even possible?
Lara shook her head, trying to calm down, that wasn't a logic explanation after all.
-Even if she did take it, how on earth could she know there was information about that thing in it? Lara mumbled.
The poor confused adventurer had to sit down on the bed, sighing loudly. She would never be able to sleep now, what was going on? This didn't make sense.
She thought about waking the others and tell them about what she thought, but decided that they needed to sleep and wouldn't be much help right now anyway. Instead she lay down in bed once again trying to sleep.
but sleep wouldnt come.
