The first good thing that's happened since... Angkor. Lara thought, as she
packed her bags for Gordonstoun Boarding School, 4 months after Angkor. The
idea of going far away from home will never cease to excite her
Lara decided she would not be an archeologist. She felt it was her fault what happened to Werner and if she were to ever become famous, well it just wasn't right for her. She had been depressed and not herself since Asia.
"It wasn't right for her to go, she's too young." said Lady Croft
"I know, I feel so guilty," said Lord Croft, sounding like he meant it. This is great. Just great.
When Lara returned form Angkor, Lord Croft arranged for her to "bump" into Michael. And so it happened, and Lara not being able to control herself, flew into tears and told him everything. After that she had a new love to Michael, and didn't realize herself that he had fallen in love with her.
For the next few months, Michael was the only person Lara would see and they talked for hours. Michael had tried to sex with her on numerous occasions, but Lara turned them all down. To give her virginity away so "easily" and "fast" was not her idea of who she was. She was too strong to give into seduction.
Gordonstoun was a nice boarding school in Scotland, and Lara did a numerous amounts of sport there, all individual though. She was the best at rock climbing, canoeing, and again took her shooting range classes and learned about a lot of different weaponry. She fell in love with the 9mm pistols; she would go shooting very often with those. She was really happy about being in the mountains of Scotland, and over the summer of her first year in the school, her parents let her stay with Winston, her aunt's butler. One night it was storming fiercely and Lara was staying at Winston's house and called Father Bram Patrick and said she saw weird lights and manifestation was around. He then came over immediately to talk to Winston.
"... So people have seen apparition out on the island?" asked Father Patrick.
"There is talk of little else in the village, Bram I'm doing all I can to stop this gossip from Lara." said Winston. As he said this, Lara opened the door a bit, so she could eavesdrop.
"Aye, ye would be a wise man. It would be unwise for her curiosity to draw her to that place."
"And you have some idea what it can be?" Winston asked.
"To be frank with you, no, but as the devil finds work for idle hands, I've spoken with father Franigan and have a boat chattered for the crossing late on this very evening."
"Good Lord, Bram! You haven't chosen the evening for it?"
"I have my faith to protect me, Winston."
"Be careful, I fear on that island, its what you don't see that will hurt you, Bram," said Winston.
Lara overheard the conversation, and the second Father Patrick confessed he was going out tonight, she grabbed her vest and backpack and ran out and found Father Franigan's boat and hid under some of the blankets there. When they got to the island, Father Patrick disappeared within some rocks, not realizing he just left young Lara all alone.
Lara walked onto the island and across from where she was standing, she saw a flat rock she could jump to safely. She got there and shimmied on the rocks above and followed the pathway until she reached a long slope leading down. She slid down. All alone, yet not the least bit scared, yet, Lara walked up to a fire under a tree. She heard a strange noise and gasped. Ahead of her was a dead corpse that had apparently had its heart ripped out.
