I climbed into my blankets and went to sleep. Winston soon left, and I sat up again. I stayed awake all night. When Winston went to bed, I suddenly felt the urge to go to the kitchen. I headed down there and turned the light on. I don't know what got into me. I searched all the cupboards, the fridge, and the freezer. "I need it." I demanded. I headed outside, to the liquor store. Closed. I smashed the window open, and grabbed three bottles. Then I went back to Croft Manor, and drank them all.

The next morning, Winston had turned on the TV. All I could hear on all the channels was, 'Liquor store broken into!'

I didn't want to tell Winston what I'd done, so I went back up to my room. Winston came up with me and said "You know I really am happy to see you." I put my face in my hands.

"Just go Winston. Out of the house." I knew what I was going to do next, and I didn't want to hurt him.

"But, my lady-"

"Now! Go! Just leave!" I yelled. Winston exited my room, and soon I heard the door shut. I couldn't control myself anymore. I lit a candle and threw it on the floor. The fire ran across the floor and up the curtains. I ran out of the house and stared at the front. My beautiful home, about to be demolished by fire, and it was my entire fault. I pressed the button and the large gate opened. I exited before the fire got too close.

I'd caught a flight after a call from Von Croy. He was the last person I wanted to see but still I flew to Paris. I caught a bus from the Parisian airport to the Rue Valise building. I walked miserably up the stairs and knocked on Von Croy's door. He opened the door, invited me in and sat down.

"What's all this about Werner?" I demanded, still treating him like a bad smell.

"Help me Lara, I need you to get something for me."

"Go on."

"I'm tracking five obscura paintings for a client called Eckhardt. But he's a psychopath." Von Croy sounded somewhat afraid.

"Not my problem! You took the commission and now you're out of your depth. Why should I care?"

"Because I'm being stalked! I daren't go into the streets. People are dying out there!"

"Handle it Werner. I had to when you abandoned me in the tombs." I countered.

"Lara please. Go and see this woman. Carvier. She can help."

"Sort out your own mess. I'm going."

"No wait!"

"Egypt Werner. You walked away and left me. There was no pity then."

"Get out!" I don't know if he was aiming at me, but Von Croy shot three bullets. He missed, but before I could look at him\I was knocked up against the wall. I was knocked out, and when I woke up I saw Werner on the ground; dead. I crouched down and lifted up his head, and kissed him on the cheek. "Goodbye Werner." I whispered mournfully. Lightning struck, and I decided to leave. At that moment police busted in, searching for the serial killer I heard about: The Monstrum. They were shining their torches everywhere, and to avoid the light, I hid behind the spiral stairs next to the kitchen. A couple of them were approaching the kitchen. I was ready. Ready to sprint as fast as I could to the door. I approached one of the policemen, and performed a stealth takedown. Then I sprinted across the room as one of the guards yelled "Possible suspect has escaped the building! Call for backup!"
