A/N this part of the fiction was written by my soul mate. I love you my
angel.
Lara flicked her long dark hair to one side and beckoned Alex towards her. As he slowly made his way across the room, Lara could feel the excitement building. She knew that his touch set her soul on fire and had been missing him so badly whilst she had been away in Egypt, that tonight was going to be even more special than usual. As he reached out to pull her close, Indyana's crying woke Lara with a jolt. So sure that the dream was real that she looked around the room for Alex, waiting for him to offer to find out what was wrong, but he was gone. It had been a month since he died protecting her but the dreams still came back to haunt her every night. A tear rolled down her cheek as she slowly made her way to her daughter's room to see what was wrong.
Lara slowly made her way towards Indyana's bedroom, each step wishing that Alex were next to her, making his stupid little jokes about what was wrong this time. When Lara walked through the door to Indy's bedroom, she found her sitting up in bed, with an excited but scared look on her face. Lara sat on the end of the bed, but before she could utter a word, Indy' squealed, 'I've just seen Daddy! Daddy's still here!'
Lara had herself been going through the same thing, seeing Alex's face everywhere and hearing his voice. 'Daddy's not here darling. He's gone and won't be coming back.' It pained Lara to say that to her young daughter but she knew that young Indy had a wise head on her shoulders and understood what had happened when her mum walked into the visitors room at the hospital with tears in her eyes.
'Come and sleep in my room tonight' Lara said, knowing that she wasn't just doing this for Indy's sake, but after her dream Lara could do with some real company.
Upon reaching the bedroom, there was a cold chill in the air. Lara ignored it and tucked her daughter into bed. As she dozed off to try to rejoin the dream she had been enjoying prior to getting up, she felt something run what seemed to be a hand through her hair. Lara jumped out of bed, grabbed her pistol and scanned the room intently. Nothing was there. Lara checked on Indyana but she was fast asleep, it couldn't have been her. Lara thought it must have been Camron. She knew he enjoyed playing pranks like this, but as she walked into his room, she found him asleep. He hadn't moved an inch since she said goodnight to him a few hours earlier.
Walking back into her bedroom, she remembered the reason that Indy was in her room in the first place. Quietly, so as nobody could hear her, she whispered Alex's name. Upon receiving no answer, she sat on the bed and wondered out loud what she was doing. She knew he had gone but still she called his name. Was she losing it?
As if by some strange twist of fate, she felt a cold presence behind her, which ran across a scar on her hand. The scar was from a ritual that only Alex and she knew about. It was supposed to protect him but instead had forced him to sacrifice his life in order to save Lara's.
Again Lara called his name, so sure that he was there she said it louder this time. The presence ran up her arm and onto her neck, something that only Alex did. They knew each other so perfectly that they had memorised everything about the other. The way they liked to be touched, be kissed, be held, everything was perfect and Lara often wondered why fate had decided to bring them together only to rip them apart, when it knew that Lara would never be able to love anyone else. Replacing the pistol silently into the drawer next to her bed Lara gently got into bed next to her daughter and lay a protective arm over her kissing her head tenderly she lay down and got comfortable before whispering the words 'stay with me Alex, at least until I fall asleep' Feeling the cool presence of a kiss on her cheek and an arm covering both her and their daughter Lara was strangely calmed by this presence, knowing that her Alex would be with her always.
