Jacob Lara Croft

Sinner of the Spades

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Hina ja la bah.. sepuas hati.. sia ok ja ni.. cakap ja tu sumpah seranah yang ko mo kasi sia.. sia terima ja ni" balas ku dengan gaya tenang. Mata Jason berubah garang dengar cakap ku. Tiba-tiba dia mendekat dan tekan aku ke dinding. Aku tersentak. Terkejut. Tidak sangka Jason bertindak macam ni.  "ui!" aku try lepaskan diri. "You made me who I am today Lara. Semua pasal kau.. saya jadi begini.. you to blame!!" Suaranya pertahan tapi penuh geram.  " Then you should thank me and let me go.. kau sudah jadi orang kaya.. hidup senang.. ada segala-galanya.. boleh dapat mana-mana perempuan cantik pun yang kau mau.. apa lagi yang kau nda puas hati? " aku jawab dengan berani. Jarinya menarik dagu ku sampai betul-betul dekat dengan mukanya sampai aku boleh rasa nafasnya di muka ku.  " kau tidak tau apa yang saya lalui sebab apa yang kau buat dengan saya.. tiap hari saya fikir mau jadi kaya saja sebab kau hina saya miskin.. tiap saat saya terbayang-bayang kau curang dan tidur dengan ramai lelaki.. kau tidak tau betapa hancurnya hati saya bila kau cakap saya lelaki tidak berguna.. tiap hari tiap saat saya mau kasi bukti dengan kau yang saya bukan sehina yang kau cakap.." dia stop kijap.

Buduh punya alasan oh.. Itu sebab kau gatal miang. Mau rasa semua perempuan. Fuck banyak perempuan. Kau sendiri getek mau kasi blame saya pula..." balasku berani. Marah. Geram. Palui betul ba si Jason ni! "Diam! Lara mulut kau kan.. dari dulu memang mulut puaka.. mulut kurang ajar.. " jari Jason cubit bibir ku dengan kasar sambil matanya terbeliak macam mau menelan aku hidup-hidup. " Kau mesti bayar satu persatu.. saya akan pastikan kau Lara.. tidak akan hidup aman.." habis saja cakap itu tiba-tiba bibirnya dengan pantas dan kasar gigit bibir ku. "Ahhh" Aku terkejut dan meronta. Aku tolak dia sepenuh hati. Tapi makin aku meronta makin kasar dan bertubi-tubi Jason cium. Kedua pahu ku dicengkam kuat. Aku rasa bibirku luka digigit dan di hisap Jason. Dia betul-betul gila. Last-last aku mengalah. Aku biar dia terus cium. Bila dia perasan aku tidak lagi melawan. Jason berhenti. Dia tatap mata ku dengan pandangan yang aku tidak faham. " Napa kau buat begini Jason?" Aku tanya perlahan. Sakit hati. Terkejut. segala macam perasaan bercampur. " Aku hukum kau.. " Jason balas selamba. hukum?  " by kissing me dengan paksa?" Tanya ku geram. " ada banyak lagi saya mau buat sama kau.. kau tunggu saja.." jawab Jason sambil ketawa ringan. Dia kasi lepas tangannya dari tubuh ku.
