Chapter 1: An oath & A better day

Kurtis POV

I stood there looking down at the grave after everyone left the ceremony, the funeral. Was it my fault that he was gone? Is this my punishment for leaving him all those years ago? Not wanting to fight with him in the Shadow wars. Was this why he was taken away from me, because I didn't want to fight? Tears came down my face as the questions went on in my head and then there was the thought of my first nineteen years. The training all night and the lectures all day, never going to school, my father said that I was to intelligent for school and that I must train for the fucking Shadow wars that took him away from me. Then there was mother, she was always there for me, when father went too far in the fights. She cared and made me play with normal kids when father was away for the war and then there was the last person, my little brother, five years younger than me. We loved each other and played like a normal brothers until I left. I saw him crying, he had been hurting when he looked out of his window at night to see me climb into a taxes, and I had looked up at his window and saw those tears. It still hurt me today for leaving him behind. I wish he was here, that reminds me, why wasn't he here for father's funeral, did he even know that father had been murdered. I will find him and then I'll make them pay for you father, for them who killed you in cold blood, it's a Lux Veritatis oath.

Lara POV

I'm finally home, it's been two years since the event in Egypt, and people still thought I am dead but I'll fix that later. Now I stepped into the hall of my Manor the first thing I heard was something falling at my left, I looked to the sound and so Hillary looking at me in shock and had dropped a tea-tray. I smiled at him and held my arms out as he walked up to me, and hugged me as tighter as he could. I could hardly breathe. I whispered in his ear "It's nice to see you again, but your squashing the life out of me" and with that he let me ago and said "I'm sorry, Lara but we thought that..." He stopped the sentence and looked at me "But you're alive and that makes me very happy." He continued, I knew what he wanted to say but I left it there "Well I'm really happy to see you again, Hillary. Now where's Bryce?" I asked with a smile. "His out at the moment but he will be so happy to see you again, Lara." Hillary said also smiling "Hillary, can you bring me a cup of tea, I'll be in my room." I said and he only nodded "I'll make it immediately, Lara" he said and walked of, to the kitchen. I sighted and walked up the staircase to my room. Entering it, it hadn't change since the last time I had been here, and it was clean, like Hillary never wanted to believe that I had gone away.

I place my bag on the bed and walked out onto my balcony. I looked at the sunset and sighted. What am I gonna do know, I'm not going back to tomb raiding soon and now that I think of it, I don't even want to go back to tombs. What is out there for me, besides tomb raiding? Oh well, I'll find out tomorrow for now I want to drink that lovely tea that Hillary always made. How I'd missed it and then I want to take a shower and sleep in my own bed that I also missed so much. Tomorrow will be a better day, I hope.

I know it a little sort but the next chapter will be longer, I promise...
