The Angel of Darkness Continues:
Chapter One: A New Start
After a few moments and the bright light diminished, and Kurtis held his hand out to mention, "It's snowing." "Where are we, Kurtis?" "I really don't know, but I do know that it's really cold here." "Yes it is." As they walk down the sidewalk in this unknown city, that was apparently cold and snowy. Kurtis spoke up and said, "I'm feeling a little tired, too." "So where could we rest at." Kurtis surveyed the area and pointed to a nearby Prague hotel. "How about their, Lara." 'Okay, but do we have enough money?" "I know this isn't the most romantic thing to say, but don't worry about it." "But Kurtis." "Lara, please calm down, everything will be okay, okay." "Um, okay." "I know I'm not in the best shape right now, but please have faith in me, Lara." They stopped walking and Lara turned towards Kurtis to say, "I'm sorry." Kurtis did his cute smile and said, "It's okay," as he gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek. "Why do I feel so scared?" "I don't know why exactly, but I do know we had been through a lot to make it to where we are now."
Five minutes pass and they are now entering the nearby hotel. They paid the clerk at the front desk, got the key to their room, and then made there way up the stairs to the room. Inside their hotel room, Kurtis said, "I'll sleep on the floor, and you can have the bed, is that okay with you." "Why don't I let you have the bed, and I'll take the floor." "Well instead of arguing over who sleeps where, because I know were both really tired. So why don't we share the bed, is that okay?" "That's fine." Kurtis made his way over towards the bed all on his own, when he started to falter a little. Lara hurried over to him to help him sit down on the bed, "Are you okay?" "I think so, thank you." "Your welcome." Kurtis gave Lara a sweet kiss on the lips, too as a thank you. Lara found herself returning his kiss, but he broke it off to mention, "This may seem very awkward at this moment, because of our feelings for each other, but I think we should be a little more careful." "No, it's okay, and understandable," mentioned Lara. "Although, you could help me take my two shirts off." "But Kurtis, I thought." He held his finger to her lips, and said, "Hush, and trust me."
"Okay, but.." Kurtis smiled a little and said, "Remember, I do love you Lara, and we should try to get to know each other some more first, which does make sense if you think about it." "Yes, it make sense," she stated as she made her way back around to the other side of the bed. Where she stripped her shorts and shoes off, and crawled into bed. Kurtis got up off the bed slowly, and made his way over to the nearest chair in the room. Although on his way there he stumbled a little, but he made it there all on his own. Then he took his shoes off and Lara mentioned, "Kurtis where are you?" "I'm over in this chair, thinking." "Thinking about what?" "Like why I am still alive, and why can't I let myself be close to you." as a small tear ran down his face. "Oh, I didn't mean to." He interrupted, "It's okay Lara, just try to get some sleep." "Kurtis, please come back over here, so you can get some sleep."
He didn't answer, as he was too deep in thought with what he told Lara, but she sneaked her way over to him. She sat on the floor near him, and somewhat did her best to curl up with him. Kurtis didn't seem to notice her at first, while Lara stayed there trying to comfort Kurtis by being near him. Lara mentioned, "If it's any consolation to what your thinking about, I'm glad that you alive, because I really was worried about loosing you." "Do you mean that, Lara?" "Yes, I do." "Oh, Lara you sure are a really nice person." "Thank you, Kurtis, and you know you are too. So, when's your birthday?" "June 26, you?" "February 14, and what's your last name?" "Trent." "You seem easy to talk, too." "I try to be." "This may be a little bit of personal question, but how did you get involved with the Lux Veritatis?" "My father, and I started training when I was three years old. Also it had been an ancient order that was being tracked down by Eckhardt and the Cabal." "Oh, and is that how you learned to control your Chirugai?" "Yes, and a couple of psychic talents that I wish I could be rid of." "What kind of talents?"
"Well, telekinesis and a Farsee ability, which gives me a glimpse of something I can't reach or of a sudden danger." "Do you have anything you'd like to know about me?" "Um, how did ever get interest in Tomb Raiding?" Well I'm a natural athlete, and I discovered I had a passion for firearms. I was a bit of a rebellious girl at home because of my aristocratic family and in school, since I went to such prestigious ones. I also had an interest in archeological things, and that's how was introduced to Werner Von Croy." "What do you mean by prestigious schools?" "I had private tutoring, went to Wimbledon High School for girls, then to Gordonstoun Boarding School, and finally Swiss Finishing School." "Oh my, I can see why you were rebellious young girl. Anyway, when I was 16, I underwent the most intense stages of the Lux Veritatis training, then at 19 I disappeared and joined a Foreign Legion. I remained hidden within there for five years, and that's when I was nicknamed, "Demon Hunter." A few years later, I became a mercenary and heard from my father for the last time, because I never saw him alive again. A couple years ago when Eckhardt ruthlessly murdered my father, I got my wake up call to get revenge for his death, and to keep the Nephillim race from continuing."
"You sound like you had a hard life, like I did, but all we both wanted was to just be free, if you know what you mean." "Yeah, I know what you mean." "Wasn't this nice talking to each other, Kurtis?" "Yeah, sure why not." "Oh yeah, in cause you were wandering how I inherited the large Croft mansion in Surrey from my Aunt. I also you used like the idea of being alone, until a shadow was cast over my life." "What kind of shadow?" "After one particular trip to Egypt, I went missing and people presumed that I was dead. So when I came to Paris to talk to Von Croy, he was murdered and I got blamed for it. So I've been running for my life, leading a life of darkness to try and clear my name, then I met you." "And then what?" "Well for first time it was really nice to have someone help me, and to not be alone anymore." "Oh, you're welcome." "Also you're the first guy that wants something more of me, then just my body." "I would never dream of being with a girl just for her body, that's wrong, and you can't exactly have a healthy relationship like that. In fact most girls that tried to go out with me, wanted me for that reason, so I declined a lot of them, and then there's you. There's something so different about you that interests me."
Lara looked up at Kurtis as they continued their conversation. "Oh." "Yeah, you seem to care about me, for who I am, and not just want I look like. Also I didn't really think I'd ever fall in love with someone, and be loved in return, so I don't ever really know what to do. Since I never really had that many girlfriends before." "Well I never really thought I find someone to fall in love with for all the right reasons, instead of all the wrong ones. I had only a couple relationships, none of which really lasted very long, because of the type they were." "What type is that, if you don't mind me asking?" "Where it's love for sex and all the other wrong reasons," she answered as tears ran down her face. "I'm sorry," Kurtis stated, as he used what little strength he had to pick her up and sit her in his lap. Then he wiped the tears out of her eyes, and said, "You've got me now, and I'm going to try to be as good as I can be. Although you do sometimes intrigue me, into being intimate, but I just don't know what's right or wrong." "You mean like going to far too soon, or at the right time. Or do you mean, you're afraid of letting it get too serious too quick, and that it's like the main part of the relationship." "Yeah something like that, although right now I wouldn't mind kissing you and then going to bed."
"I like that you look at me differently, too." "What do you mean?" "You don't just stare at certain parts of me, you look at me for me." Kurtis flashed her a cute smile as he went to kiss her, but didn't realize that they were going to deepen it without realize it. He broke the kiss, then carefully picked her up, and carried her over to the bed. Lara crawled into bed, and Kurtis said, "Goodnight Lara." "Goodnight Kurtis, but where are you going to sleep?" "In the chair like I originally intended too." "Um okay, but why can't you sleep here, it would be warmer." "Yeah I know, but I'm afraid too." "Why is that?" "Well I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I've never slept in the same bed with a girl before, and also I've um.well nevermind." Lara decided to leave that well enough alone, because she was letting herself fall asleep. While Kurtis sat in the chair again, and used the cover on the chair to keep warm and he too feel asleep.

"Well instead of arguing over who sleeps where, because I know were both really tired. So why don't we share the bed, is that okay?" "That's fine." Kurtis made his way over towards the bed all on his own, when he started to falter a little. Lara hurried over to him to help him sit down on the bed, "Are you okay?" "I think so, thank you."
