Thanks once again to my reviewers! i think i may have gotten some of the quirks worked out with my machine, so hopefully this one is easier to follow. Enjoy!
Familiar Feeling
When Lara awoke the next morning in her room, she was greeted with that warm, excited sensation that always came with the knowledge of embarking on an adventure. She hadn't even known that she was going to embark on one, and yet the feeling came.
Lara stared at herself in the mirror, thoughts rushing through her head. Unable to sort them out, she sighed, realizing that she had to go, even if she was hesitant.
A quick shower and Lara began to pack, still aware she hadn't even told Kurtis that she was to accompany him. In her closet, Lara's fingers passed over the green tops and khaki shorts she'd worn so many times in the past, a similar set with which she'd emerged from the collapsed pyramid in Egypt all that time ago. She shuddered at the thought, afraid to look back on the life she'd since abandoned, and moved her fingers over to pick something else out.
She pulled blue jeans on and a black tee shirt, not unlike what she wore when she first saw Kurtis. She threw an extra pair of boots in her bag, along with black hot shorts, fatigues, and a pair of camouflaged shorts, into a small duffel bag. She threw in an extra top for good measure. She added her holsters and pistols, as well as some other supplies into her backpack before grabbing a medium weight, Khaki bomber jacket and setting downstairs.
Kurtis looked up from his coffee to see Lara in the doorway of the kitchen, holding the duffel.
"Going somewhere?" he implored.
"Wherever you take me." Lara smiled.
"Glad to have you along. How fast can we get to Paris?"
Sorry, i know it's short, but the next couple chapters are coming up very shortly!
