Tomb Raider : When Love comes Back, What Does It Bring?

by JojoBig20

Lara Gets contacted by Kurtis, and she thinks it's just to comfort her after the events on Yamatai (I've changed the order of stuff a bit, I mean, just Imagine if AoD had the same graphics and controls as TR2013) and to chat. But Kurtis is feeling stalked by some weird spirits, sending him all sorts of visions and illusions. There will also be chapters from Kurtis' point of view.

4. Chapter 4

-FOUR-

As Lara hangs up, I put the phone back into the pocket of my jeans after I shut it down. My plane will leave in half an hour, and hopefully without any of those apparitions and ghosts that haunt me almost wherever I go.

I light a cigarette and wait until the time passes. When I throw it's stump in the bin and turn to head to the plane, I feel surrounded by cold, thin mist. Not again, I plead, hoping desperately that my flight wasn't going to be disturbed by those horrible visions again.

And luckily, it wasn't. I found out that the air conditioning was on, but somehow I felt warm until… Until Lara hung up, a small voice inside my head said, with an I-told-you-tone. Admit it, you want her, the voice said, happily jumping and flying around my brain. As much as I wanted to dismiss this as e mere statement that meant nothing, I couldn't. Damn, I want her… Badly… I said to myself. Temporarily accepting the possibility of being in love with Lara just to shut that little voice's mouth, I walk into the plane, find my seat, place my luggage and close my eyes, trying not to bother my fear of flights.

I find myself in a dark room that seems to belong to an old and abandoned prison. There are only skeletons around and I start to wander about to see if I can escape. Suddenly, one of the bodies that still had flesh on it starts moving. Its slender hands escape easily from the oversized wall-hung cuffs. As the thing tries to stand up and face me, its hands start moving and contorting in a very disturbing way, without making any sound. When it raised its head the light offered by a torch on the wall revealed a mutilated face with missing lips, rotting eyeballs and a small, black worm shimmying out of the nose.

When the creature opened it's mouth, a kind and warm female voice said "Sir, Do you need anything?"

I opened my eyes and found a beautiful blonde flight attendant sitting on the chair by my left and asking:

"Sir, I'm sorry for waking you up, but you seemed rather uncomfortable." She said and pulled closer to me. "Were you having a nightmare?" Now she leaned closer, almost forcing her generous cleavage in my face.

"Yeah, thanks for waking me up" I muttered, still shaken by the odd dream. "Do you have any pills that can help in case of… I dunno, air sickness or anything?"

"Sure, I'll be right back." She said with a smile and raised to her feet, then went to bring that pill.

I took it and felt gradually better in the hours that followed.

I reached England with no trouble… Well, no trouble for others, but it wasn't actually the basic, problem-free flight for me.

When I got outside, I checked one of the clocks and I saw it was 8:10 PM.

I checked my phone, went to call logs and hit redial.
