Chapter 10: Luke's secret.

Lara kept on walking but for a reason the Nephilims around her didn't try anything. She is happy not to fight but this is a little strange or did Karel order them not to touch her, is it the symbol on her arm of the Lux Veritatis. The thoughts went on in her head but she just kept on walking until she heard someone call her from one side. She stopped and looked at who it could be.

"Lara over here." That's when she sees him; she quickly walked to his side and sees the cut on his arm.

"Hey, Luke what happened." She asked.

"Those damn Nephilims but don't worry about it. Where are you going?" he asked.

"To find the Keeper of Secrets." She answered.

"Do you even know where you're going?"

"No, All I know is that I have to find a castle on the other side." She answered.

"Don't even bother to go there" Luke warned.

"Why?" Lara asked

"Because the Keeper of Secrets isn't at the castle anymore." Luke answered.

"How do you know?" Lara asked with a frown

"Because…em…I just know okay" Luke assert

"Okay, where is he now?" she asked.

"He is in a little underground cave not far from here" Luke answered.

"Lead me to him then" Lara said.

"Okay, come on." Luke uttered and started moving to the east of the castle.

Lara followed him in silence, but she is still curious to why he is acting like this. How did he know the Keeper and what connection is there between them she thought. She sighted and looked around her as they walked. Dead body started to appear and Lara knew that more had come and fight since the battle and they have again failed. A tear ran down her cheek and she looked up at the sky but only sees shadows flying in the air, looking down onto the world. Then she went back to the immense battle when Karel had taken Kurtis away from her.

Lara looked at Kurtis for the last time and sighted as she moved her lips, the words going through her mind '" I'm sorry Kurtis."' And started walking off with the man who had grabbed her throat, a tear ran down her cheek; she had just left her love in the hand of the enemy. She wanted to look back but she just couldn't and she mind read Kurtis. I hope you will forgive me for this she said and waited for him to answer her but nothing ever came and that made her turn around and look back to where she had left Kurtis. She sees him being dragged off, his eyes closed, shadows following him as they came into the world she loved so much. She started crying and walked on, to the monastery where she would make a plan to save this world from darkness.

Lara wiped the tears away when they came to a stop. She looked at Luke with a frown. "Why did we stop?" she asked.

"We are here." He answered and Lara looked around but there is nothing there until she heard Luke whisper something in Greek and when he stopped whispering, Lara fell into a pit with Luke behind her. Not long and she fell on the ground hard, dust covering her. Why must this happen again, she uttered under her breath as she got up. She looked around and sees Luke leaning against the wall staring at her.

"You could've warned me." She said.

"Sorry Lara" he said and leaned away from the wall.

"It's fine. So he is here?" she asked.

"Yes" he declared.

"How do you know, Luke and give me an answer." Lara said seriously.

"I I…Why must I tell you?" he asked.

Lara holstered out her on gun and raised it to his head. "This is why"

"Okay, okay" Luke sighted. "The Keeper is my father."
