Chapter 5

Confessions

Lara was sitting on her bed looking around the room in order to avoid looking at the cut on her belly that Kurtis was stitching. He wasn't speaking and he looked angry...Well not just angry. He was furious and she couldn't understand why. Her eyes fell on the Chirugai and then to it's previous owner. How the hell could she use it? She didn't really cared because she liked that idea...But still the curiosity was burning her...and curiosity killed the cat...Then she remembered Amanda and Karel...These two would become a serious problem. She had to keep Winston and Zip safe." I'm going to send Winston to Ireland tomorrow...Zip will have to help us..."She thought. She started shaking like a fish out of water when thoughts about death came in her mind...Her thoughts were destructed by Kurtis who ,after a long time, spoke

"Lara please stay calm and for God's shake stay still. I don't want to do any mistake"

He was irritated. He tried to look only at her cut and not in her eyes...He felt weak when she was around him... and then a thought crossed his mind "Tomorrow morning I'm going to teach her how to use that thing...or else I'll find her in pieces..."

"Kurtis what the hell have I done and you are so angry with me?" Lara asked and though she wanted to scream this question she only whispered...

"Nothing..."he answered back when he finished stitching. He wasn't angry with her anyway...he was furious with Karel and that mad woman Amanda...

"Yeah now you convinced me...I want to know some things Kurtis...you didn't said anything yesterday about the fight...with Boaz..." she said while biting her lip...she didn't feel very comfortable with that conversation and Kurtis didn't really want to talk about it. But she had to know...Lara realized her mistake when he turned around...his azure eyes full of pain...

"When I gave you that boost Boaz came quickly towards me and her claws gave me that scar" He said while getting his T-Shirt off in order to show Lara his left hand. A huge scar starting from his shoulder and finishing at his wrist. Lara's jaw fell open...the first reason was the scar...and the second his body...she pushed the idea of it aside though...she had to concentrate...

"And what happened next...?" she quickly asked in order to make him go on.

"Then I fought her till I emptied enough magazines to kill her FIRST form...That butterfly like bitch jumped out of the first form and I had to fight again...again I used my old method run, fire, run, duck...till she fell down and I thought she was finished...Well that was and my biggest mistake...Never turn your back at your enemy if you are not sure if he is dead or not...She had a spear like arm and she gave me two huge scars...Here" he said showing her his back where Boaz's arm entered "and here"and he mentioned his abdomen where her spear exited..."and then I used my Chirugai to cut her head...but the pain didn't allow me to move and I fainted...When I woke up I was still in the arena and there was an explosion...I stood up and started making my way away from there but Marten found me and took me to...Karel" he paused. All these things he wanted to hide deep inside him came on the surface..."He tortured me and said to me that...you chose my death and that you didn't really cared about me...He was shape-Swifting into you and he tried to say to me that you were not real...but I knew you were I never believed him...and then one day he found that blond stupid bitch that said she knew you and they both left me there to suffer...I made my way out of there and here I am..."He said as he wore his blouse again...Lara was stunned...Her thoughts were about Karel and Amanda once again..."I will find them and when I do I will kill them...i won't give that bitch a second chance...and Karel will suffer..Like Kurtis did"

"Lara do you listen to me?" Kurtis asked worried …He kept on looking at her when she realized what was going on.

"What did you said?" She asked while trying to get calm again...

"I said you don't have to tell me anything about what happened back there...I read Karel's mind and I know...You did a great job Lara...and believe me it's not your fault he is not dead..." He said quickly when he read her mind...She was blaming herself once again...

"When I find them I will make them suffer..." she said under her breath so that she wouldn't be heard...and realized that she needed to bandage the stitches...but Kurtis was quicker and he was working again on her cut...When he finished he stood up took the medikit away in the bathroom and found Lara out in the balcony. He could feel her pain and fury...It was like they were connected...He walked out in the balcony and took a pack of cigars out of his pocket. He lighted one and went closer to her and then stood next to her...She turned and looked at him and saw the cigaret that was hanging from his lips. She didn't like that habit. She actually hated it so much that she avoided people who smoke. She took it away from his lips and threw it away.

"Hey I was smoking that you know..." He said but he didn't really cared about it. She looked up at his eyes again knowing that this time she would give in...

"Yeah I know...But I hate that habit...It kills a lot of people...And I don't want you dead..." She said but the last part of it came out as a whisper...Lara wasn't used to express her feelings and she wouldn't do that now...and Kurtis had the same trait but he couldn't stay away from her anymore...six years were too much for him to bear...He was sleeping in that cell thinking about her,he was suffering and he was thinking about her...everything was about Lara...he gently grabbed her wrist and looked once again in her eyes..."Damn those hazel eyes..." he thought and pushed the thoughts aside.

"Lara what's wrong with you?" he asked as he stepped closer to her. She walked backwards and found herself stopped by the wall.

"Uuum what do you mean?Nothing's wrong..." "Liar" She quickly thought to couldn't understand what he meant really?The only thing she knew was that She wanted him and he wanted her. But she couldn't understand how he could still be in love with her after 6 years...It was a long time...

"Nothing's wrong? Lara you changed so much...not only physically but mentally too...Why are you in pain?Why are you always furious?Why don't you have that smile...that can make my heart get out of my chest?"

Lara was stunned. He just said that when she smiled his heart was beating like crazy?And then again she hadn't realized that she looked in pain...She was trying hard to hide it,but still he could see it. He was right,and she knew it...

"You never saw me smile...And...and...i lost too many beloved people in my life and...i...i can't do this anymore...my parents,Werner,you,Alistair...I just can't bare it anymore..."She finally said while fighting the tears away unsuccessfully...Her vision blurred and she started crying...Kurtis closed the distance between them and hugged her,guilt building inside him. She included him to those she lost...at her beloved persons as she said..."That's more serious than I thought..."He thought to himself and then he hugged her tighter...His right hand moved away from her waist and moved up to her chin and his thumb took away the tears under her eyes...She looked up knowing she couldn't avoid anything anymore and found his eyes...He leaned in till lips they were just inches apart and stopped. She opened her eyes to see him and understood that he was trying to get a grip and control himself...She was feeling the same thing anyway and without wasting time she kissed him gently. His hand fell again on her back and hugged her tighter,so much that she felt like she couldn't breath...he kissed her back passionately. He pushed her on the wall and kept on kissing her till they both needed air and broke the kiss...Kurtis moved away from her and tried to make his breath steady just like Lara.

"You...know...what?...If... I knew...that this...could happen...i would have done...it back in the Louvre...when I stole...that painting...Not that I cared...so much about it..."He joked as he tried to breath.

"You know...I cared...it was... a pain... in...the arse...to get it..."She joked back as she remembered the incident in the Louvre. She could smell his aftershave which was mixed with the smoke from the cigaret, and even though she didn't like smokers, that mix made him even more attractive...She went back into her room and looked around quickly in order to keep concentrate...one wrong move and she would kiss him again...and this time she wouldn't stop...She walked towards her bed and stood there looking at it. Kurtis walked closer hugged her again from behind,kissed the back of her neck and whispered in her ear "Goodnight Lara..."

Lara turned around ,looked at him and whispered a goodnight back...Kurtis stepped away,made his way to the door, opened it and got out of the room. He could still smell her scent,that sweet scent that made him want to go back into her room. But he kept on walking down the hallway till he found himself in front of his room. He opened it and stepped in closing the door behind him and sighting...It's going to be a good night...he thought as he jumped on his bed,put his hands under his head and looked at the ceiling...
