"Where is she? Come on, where is she?"
"Oh, for f*** sake!" Lara stamped her foot. "I killed you, too!"
"Yes, but I'm..."
"Don't tell me...immortal."
"No." Sophia clicked her tounge. "My skin is dead. This isn't my body."
"So..." Lara looked Sophia up and down. She looked pretty normal.
"VCI, yes? They do pretty good bodies, and Natla helped connect my brain up so I could use this one."
"Urm...I won't even try to understand." Lara looked around. "Speaking of Natla...where is she?"
"She's hiding. Stupid Bitch."
"What have you got against Natla?"
"Nothing! But she made us all worry, running off like that."
"All of us?"
"Yes. Me, and our other sisters Maisy and Camilla."
"You...you two are sisters???"
"Not...exactly." Sophia took off her coat and handed it to Lara.
"Not exactly?"
"Well, she was born ages ago, right? In Atlantis. And she got frozen. Well, She came into my office. Wanted to hear of this immortality drug I was testing?"
"Right."
"Our likeness was uncanny! So we ran some DNA tests...the results were high."
Lara frowned. "You don't look that alike."
"Whatever!" Sophia snarled. "Where IS she?" Sophia clomped upstairs.
"Hey..." Lara was cut short when some-one tugged at her pyjama leg. It was Natla, who had hidden under some of the funiture that Lara had stacked in the hall. How convinient!
"Isn't that bad for your condition?" Lara questioned, as Natla crawled out.
"Probably." Natla straightened up. "Lets hope she got lost."
"Natla!" Sophia was on the landing. "Natla, stay right there!"
Natla's eyes widened, and she shot off. Lara rolled her eyes.
"Give her time." she told Sophia. "She'll come out. Can I offer you a cup of tea?"
"Coffee." Sophia ordered. "On second thoughts, make it a capuccino." She walked down the stairs. "I'm tired."
"Aren't we all." Lara muttered, moving towards the kitchen, Sophia next to her. "May I ask, how did you know Natla was here?"
"She said, before she left. 'Lara will understand!', she cried."
"Me? Why am I so...liked!" Lara grunted. "And why aren't you trying to kill me, for that matter?"
"You might destory this body too!" Sophia laughed. "I have to pay for a new one. Besides, I don't feel like killing you."
"Good." Lara yawned. She tried to remember how to make capuccino. She couldn't.
"Would you settle for tea?" She asked Sophia, who sighed.
"I suppose."
Lara put the kettle onto boil, and turned round, but found Sophia was gone.
"Sophia?" She left the kitchen and went to the gym. There was Natla, on top of the climbing frame, and Sophia at the bottom, all set to climb up.
"Sophia...your hurt yourself!"Lara called. Sophia snorted.
"Yeah...and if you try, I'll monkey swing!" Natla declared. Sophia snarled, and started climbing. Natla shrieked, and stood up from her crouching posistion. She jumped, and managed to grab the bars above her. She started moving slowly foward.
"Nat...!" Lara's eyes grew wide. What was wrong with these crazy women? Hormones were making them crazy! She moved to the frame to attempt to race Sophia to the top. But she was stopped by...another knock on the door!
"Oh, for f*** sake!" Lara stamped her foot. "I killed you, too!"
"Yes, but I'm..."
"Don't tell me...immortal."
"No." Sophia clicked her tounge. "My skin is dead. This isn't my body."
