Pairing: Lara/Kurtis

In the labyrinthine streets of Prague grave secrets shall be revealed and blood shall be spilt. The battle for eternal life begins after sunset. Post-AoD.
Rating: R for language, graphic violence and sex.
Author's Note: I got the idea for this chapter from a dream I had many years ago. Is my subconscious just that evil? You decide :D
CHAPTER FIVE: REPRISE

Kurtis massaged his tender nose, wincing slightly as he felt the bruised flesh. As he carefully dried his face he took in the sight reflected in the mirror. He did not betray any emotion.

Kurtis ignored her question as he folded up the bloodied towel and slung it across the edge of the sink.
