Chapter 6 fight the darkness
Disclaimer I do not nown or have anything to do with the tomb raider franchise
They heard the creatures in the darkness moving coming towards them here one of the men said tossing them each a shotgun. What are you doing they said in response. Were stuck in this thing together the last thing we need is a fight amongst ourselves the man said. On were not complaining Maxwell said. One of them came first than many more let's get out of here they shouted. The creatures were relentless killing as many of the men in anyway possible. Many of the creatures were killed and the same goes the the men also but there was just to many of the creatures to fight them all off. Lara an Maxwell found a smaller separate chamber and guided the men towards it and blocked the entrance off they lit a torch inside and they started talking. They spoke though winded breaths they were tired and covered in blood from fighting the creatures. What are we gonna do one of the men said those things are monsters the look in there eyes they aren't human whatever they are maybe at one time they were but not any more he continued to say. I agree Lara said. I've been through worse before though. And I can say to you now that this is not the end. Oh yeah one of the men said what do you know because this certainly nlooks like the end to me. What we need to do she said is quietly make it towards the entrance we came in here through open up the door using someone's blood and get out of here before those things kill us all. That sounds easy enough one of the men said. but its very different when its actually being done. Its our only hope of getting out of here alive Lara said do yuoi have a better idea because I'd love too hear it. Its either do what she says another one of the men said or stay here living in fear and starve. They had a vote choosing to stay or leave and when it was done they chose to leave rather risking it against the creatures than living in fear. They waited until the clawing and growling of the creatures stopped. And then unblocked the doorway. And quietly and slowly exited. They made there way towards the exit of the building using dim lights. They were close when they heard them coming again RUN! They shouted they heard the creatures coming and they saw them come out of the shadows. They shot at them shooting them as they ran alone the creatures died easily but it was the numbers that made them so threatening. They got to the door and found the plate one of the men gladly sacrificed a cut on his hand to open the door. But it didn't happen like before. Instead a puzzle appeared. You've got to be fucking kidding me Maxwell said. Let's figure this thing out. We need to twist it to allign the image. Alright they turned it and the first one aligned. The men behind them shouting fighting for there lkives to keep the creatures away. Shouting hurry up! They finally aligned the last one and the door opened letting the beautiful sunlight in. Once it hit the creatures they growled and retreated into the darkness. Let's add that to our list of things never to do again Maxwell said. We don't have a list though Lara said. Never a better time than now to start one thouhg Maxwell said. Nevertheless let's agree not to go in there again Lara said. You guys know how to get in Maxwell said pointing at the survivors of Luthers crew. If you want what's in there be my guest and go right on ahead. When Lara and Maxwell were outside of the city with the rest of Luther's men they had expected them to double cross them and to try and kill them or make them go back into the city. But it wasn't the case Luther wasn't evil for the sake of being evil he did what he found necessary to accomplish what he wanted to and the rest of his men also followed these standards and let Lara and Maxwell go. Giving them transportation to Cairo. They got back to there hotel. And talked about what had happened well it sucks that we couldn't get that treasure that was in the city Maxwell said. I'm not upset Lara said I'm just glad that the both of us are alive at all. We were stranded in the desert we should both be dead. And I never really got to say it she continued to say but thank you for saving me when I got sick back there I would've been dead if it hadn't been for you. You don't need to thank me for saving you Maxwell responded. I lost all of my friends and I wasn't about to lose you to Maxwell continued. I told even if I had to I'd carry you and I did. But anyway Lara said I'm not so sure it would be good if the world found that city. Why not Maxwell said? Could you imagine Lara responded if someone had the secret to immortality they would be unstoppable. I suppose your flight Maxwell said still did you see all that gold. Wait Lara said cutting him off. What Maxwell said. I did manage to pick this up while we were running away she responded while holding up a ruby roughly the size of a softball. Lara Maxwell said I think I'm in love with you he said while hugging her so much so he picked her up off her feet. I think I'm in love with me to she said laughing. How much do you think that thing is worth he said. I don't know Lara responded km not a jeweler I'm just an archaeologist. Well we better get back to America and surprise Sam. With that thing we will be able to go home in style. Well to your home Lara said I'm from Britain. I'll have to show you how to fish Maxwell said. They left for a plane to America the next morning and headed to Maxwells home.
