Her senses come back to her and she quickly emerges from the water gasping and panting for air as the heavy waves crash and make different currents in the waves of the water.

She swims and swims trying to block out the waves and to make it safely to land.
She finally manages to crawl her way onto the sand gasping and gasping for air repeatedly from where it all happened so fast, she immediately turns her attention to her team on the upper part of the island on a higher up point of land

"This one's bleeding out!"
- Reyes says exclaiming.

"hello!?"
-Lara says as she gets ignored from where they can't hear her begging for help, feet away and how they are on a cliffside. The rain and storm around making it harder for them to hear her as it muffles out her screams for them.

"...Put some pressure on it!"
- Reyes exclaims trying to guide the people who were injured to the campfire.

"Come on... come on! Breathe, goddamn it!"
- Alex exclaims while being clearly desperate to get an injured breathing.

This is where it all began..

All hell had broken loose.

"help!"
- Lara yells out before getting pulled back and her eyes suddenly went black as if something had covered her head and took her in an unconscious state.

Time skip

Lara's eyes had fluttered out into a blurry pit of orange and rocky colors. Woken up, she sees herself in the POV of getting dragged on the ground of a cave covered in rituals, blood, and bodies scattered at different places, moving past them she can see and hear stuff but she can't make them out to a certain point.

A few seconds later she had fully woken up to being attached and hanging to a wooden beam by a rope and covered in some sort of material that's tight and hard to get out of.

Her brain had took a little bit to process the situation she was in but after a little bit of looking around frantically she thinks to herself and her head bobs back and forth side to side, desperately in the look out for anything she could use to help free herself from this tight grasp the cloth around her had on her.

'I need to get out of here..'

She says seeing a lit up torch behind the body hanging in front of her.

With her quick thinking she started to swing back and forth in the little bundle of cloth she was tightly tied up in, and she swung into the hanging body in front of her, until it had caught on fire, leading to the cloth around her. Catching on fire and falling to the ground with a yell of pain, as a broken piece of metal had jabbed her through the side going in one side and out the other.

The survival skills she'd learned before was to take it out. And that's exactly what Lara did.

Lara placed her hand onto the beginning of the piece of metal, through her side. And she mentally prepared herself by doing a breathing pattern then yanking it out, blood dripping out occasionally, but she immediately covers the small wound with her hand, preparing to explore the cave she's in.

As she walked throughout the cave, multiple torches and writings were scratched or placed on the wall, symboling stuff that she probably doesn't know about yet, not being able to really think straight after what just happened and how she had woken up.
