Lady Lara Croft
I look at the pitiful state of my nemesis, caged in my prison. Apparently, Thor's magic is far better than that of Natla. I smile to myself.
Natla gazes up at me "Oh, I suppose you have the Resurrection Stone" She says dramatically.
"Yes. Natla, your end is near. Tell me how to use it I say," my voice is flaring.
"Join the pieces correctly" Natla instructs. I put the pieces together neatly and look up at her. "Wait" She says, holding up her hand. "Now what?" I ask.
She reduces her voice to a whisper "When you get transported to the Plane of Knowing, ask your mother to come with you... That should do it... You ll get transported back... Ugh! I don't know why I am helping you!"
" Because you have no choice" Amanda replies scathingly.
I press onto the stone and shout "I want to bring my mother, Lady Amelia Croft back"
Suddenly, the stone glows bright gold. I feel a jerk around my waist and feel myself falling down. The stone ground has vanished and is replaced by a dark red one. It is covered with red stripes. I look up and see my mother, wearing a torn skirt and white shirt, pulling someone back. She cries out loud "No! Get back."
Oh no.
"Mother" I cry out. She turns to face me and whispers "Wh... Who are you?"
"It's me, it's Lara, your daughter" I say, my eyes filling up with tears. Mother's eyes widen. She clenches her fists and says "What about my daughter?"
" Take my hand. Please Just take my hand" I beg, my voice cracking.
My mother glances at me, she studies my eyes. "She meant no harm" She whispers.
" I know...Please take my hand, I beg you" I say pleadingly.
Finally, after long, miserable seconds, my mother walks forward with her hand stretched out. She puts her hand into mine. Once again, the ground vanishes and is replaced by stones. I fall down just as mother asks "What is going on?"
Once I am on solid ground, I look up to see Amanda, grinning broadly and helping my mother up. I sigh and look towards her. She looks into my eyes. "Who are you?" She asks, her voice faltering.
" I am Lara Croft, the daughter of the Late Lord Richard Croft and Lady Amelia Croft" I say and smile. She nods. Then her eyes fill with tears. She pulls me into a hug.
Natla snorts behind me.
I turn, my eyes filled with triumph and hatred. I pull out my hammer from my backpack and Amanda whispers "End it Lara, kill her" I nod knowingly.
The hammer pulses with blue energy. "This is for the doppelganger, for my father, my mother and the numerous other lives that you have destroyed" I cry and bang the hammer on Natla.
A bloodcurdling scream echoes around the hall and Natla crumbles before my eyes.
"Finally Its over Lets go Lara, I believe Winston and Zip want to meet Lady Croft" Amanda says and I smile to her.
