CHAPTER 2:The Dream
Lara's dream was very long and very strange.
She was running through an old tomb and the place was filling up with sand.
She figured she was in Egypt.
The sand was so deep that she was in up to her hips.
Then the sand got very moist.
Lara started sinking.
She realized suddenly that it was now quicksand.
She tried swimming because the sand just got higher and higher, but to no avail.
She thrashed to get over the quicksand but she was only pulled under more.
"Help! Help" She cried, but it only came out as "Lp! Lp!" and it was quiet as a whisper.
In a last resort she threw her hand up to reach a ledge of some sort, but it was in vain.
She held her breath at the last second before she got pulled under.
All that was above the sand was her tops of her fingers.
She sat under the sand for 4 minutes until she absolutely needed to breathe.
Lara tried to breathe in but she only got a mouthful of sand.
She choked and her head swam.
Everything went gray.
Suddenly she felt a hand seize hers and pull her out of the sand.
She tried to look at her rescuer, but she sputtered and the person was only a gray figure.
A voice said "Lara? Lara are you there?"
Lara jumped into awakening.
"Huh? Oh it was only a dream, but a scary one at that…" she said shakily looking at herself covered in cold sweat and feeling weak.
"Lara! Are you there? Is something wrong?" Thomas Jeese, her butler, said over the radio.
She picked up the receiver and said into it "Yes I'm here, I had dozed off for a moment there…"
