“I think I’ve found it” Lara said through her ear piece holding up the rather large gold gauntlet with Gems skirting along it.
“Woah, what a beauty” came Bryce’s reply through the com. Lara studied it carefully taking in it’s beauty, before placing it carefully in her backpack. Right now it’s time to find a way out of here she thought to herself crawling out of the small tunnel. Slowly and silently she pushed herself out into a large cavern. Right which way did i come from she thought again and looked at her surrounding area.
As if Bryce had read her mind he said “ Third tunnel on your right, thank you”.
“I know where I was going Bryce” Lara said slightly annoyed that he had caught onto her hesitation. Heading towards the pointed direction she could hear scurrying about behind her. Turning swiftly she was met with complete silence. With one last check with her flashlight she went towards the tunnel.
The tunnel seemed to stretch for miles but she swiftly made her way through it. Just as she was about to turn she saw a soldier up ahead. Great she thought pulling out her guns ready. She stood there her back against the wall. Footsteps got louder and louder until just as the soldier had past her she smashed her gun over his head. He fell to the floor into unconsciousness. Lara crouched down next to him and removed his phone and guns slinging them onto her back. Idiot she mumbled to herself continuing on through the vast tunnels of the old and hazardous Welsh mines.
Who are these guys and why are they here what could they possibly want with Glyndwr’s gauntlet she thought to herself. She strolled along in the silence until a man’s voice filled her ears.
“Yes Mr Llywelyn, she will be dealt with, we think she has the gauntlet at the moment but we have a soldier on every tunnel, Lady Croft will not be leaving this place alive” the man’s strong welsh accent filtered through to her ears.
“Yeah right that’s what you think” she whispered whipping herself around the corner and firing haphazardly at the three soldiers in front of her. They began shooting back with the same ferocity. Every Bullet she shot hit it’s target, a leg and arm, a torso, a head. The three soldier’s fell to the floor, two dead and the leader of the group who was clutching his stomach in agony was rolling around on the floor.
Slowly Lara stood upon him her gun to his head.
“I think it’s you who won’t be leaving here alive, but maybe you might, if you tell me why you are here” she ordered pressing the gun hard to his head. He didn’t answer. Lara quickly shifted her aim to his leg and fired a bullet into it. He screamed out in pain and his hands now shot to his leg.
“I’ll repeat myself once more, why are you here and who is Mr Llywelyn” she said again her voice hard. The man looked at her stunned for a moment before speaking.
“We came for the gauntlet, it means a lot to Mr Llywelyn” he said his voice low and weak. Lara sent him a glare.
“Mr Llywelyn he needs the gauntlet, because if he completes the set by gathering all four” he stuttered as blood spat from his mouth. “Yes” Lara said hoping the man wouldn’t die just yet.
“Then he can, he can unlock the hidden helms of-“ he choked blood spilling from his mouth. With one last look at Lara his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Dead.
“Damn” Lara growled stepping over him. Hidden helms, sounds awfully familiar she thought to herself trying to piece together the whole thing in her head. But she was disturbed the loud sounds of thundering footsteps behind her.
Lara sprinted through the dark tunnels her legs pumping hard. Gunshots echoed from behind her but she dodged each bullet gracefully. Up ahead she saw a light and realized it was the door she was looking for but just as she reached for it a bullet soared into her right thigh and her leg buckled. She turned onto her back to see the soldier’s getting closer and just as they were about to get to her a figured dressed in black leaped out from the side two swords swinging dangerously through the air.
The person sliced and ducked and swung her way through all of the soldiers dodging their counter attacks. Lara pushed herself backwards her eyes never leaving the scene in front of her. Within a few seconds every soldier had been dispatched of and all that was left was the figure putting their swords back into their holster slowly.
The person turned to face Lara and walked forward slowly. Lara grabbed her gun and aimed it at the person. Her vision became fuzzy as blood gushed from her leg. She felt light headed and felt although she were swaying on a ship. Shaking the light headedness away she spoke.
“Who are you” she said her voice firm. The figure laughed at her and grabbed their hood and pulling it down to reveal a young girl. Lara gasped as she looked at the girl.
“It can’t be” Lara said wondering if she was hallucinating from the blood loss or if she was just plain crazy. But it was neither, as there stood before her was the presumed dead Sam Croft.
So Lara’s sister has appeared, what happened to her, why was she presumed dead and just who is the mysterious Mr Llywelyn, Review if you liked
