Winston last thoughts

I take care of Lara like a father; of course her parents have searched for the material needs. I, I took care to be happy, have a decent education, fell loved and others, because her parents were having fun at fancy parties and other things that the little Lara wouldn't love.

From when I know I have worked in the Croft Manor and I watched how Lara growth, fight for what was hers after her parents died, how she became a real woman and had a job. I considered her my daughter in law.

But one thing was strange, one day, while hiding in Prague, after the incident with Werner, her mentor, she did something that myself I thought impossible.

My little Lara felt in love with a man, when I asked what is with her, thinking could be something else the answer was '' I'm fine Winston, don't worry''. I knew something was wrong.

Until that day, she tried to find him; at least, she did it. She found him. She was so happy; it was beautiful to see your child in love.

I saw the first time that man, he had icy dark blue eyes, his hair was as dark as the ebony, when I looked at him he looked at me and smiled. I recognized that smile. The smile of Kurtis Heisstrum, a strange smile, but beautiful, he was one of the richest man I ever know. He lived in a manor three times bigger than Croft manor.

What was strange was that, when they came, Lara was holding something in her arms and she was so happy, like she never been.

I came near her she looked at what she was holding; the thing or whatever was there was covered in silk, then she looked again at me and blushed while smiling.

I took a corner of the silk and uncovered what was under it. It was... Something that I really never thought will do Lara.

There was a child, who opened her eyes, a pair of dark-brown eyes surroundedby adark bluecircle.

The little girl growth, they named her Kiera, but when she made three years old... I made a heart attack, they couldn't do anything and she, Kiera, came at me, to see me for the last time.

Kiera: Winston, what will happen?

She came with all her beauty; she was beautiful like an angel. Her smile that I knew disappeared and it was replaced with fear, even she was so small she was acting like a mature woman.

Winston: Nothing, little one, nothing, I will be all right.

I smiled.

Kiera: How you can say that? You are sick, what will happen?

Winston: the Great One will take me, because I'm old and sick...

The image of the little eyes of the young duchess started to wet.

Kiera: He can't take you from me... Who will read me stories, prepare me hot chocolate, with who I will stay when my parents are at work?

She asked me in some way scared.

Winston: You will learn how to read, you'll make your own chocolate and you can take care of you, you are smart Kiera...

Kiera's image was blurry now; I remembered all the things I done in my life, but took care of this girl was the most incredible. She was showing the best things from her parents. Her mother innocence, beauty, intelligence, from her father, his strong, sense of humour, smile, the love for the animals, and let's not forget the powers, she was very powerful she always blow out something during her works out, well Kurtis didn't but she did, I think she will do it until she will learn how to control her powers.

Kiera: Winston!

She embraced me. I closed my eyes after I saw her.

I only heard her leaving while crying, I never heard her crying, and it was the first time and the last time.

Kurtis: Rest in peace, man...

I recognized the demon hunter voice and then Lara's:

Lara: Take care...

My eyes blurred, I saw only shadows and I heard just vibrations. I saw my entire life ruling in the front of my eyes and then...

I died.
