Hi I'm struggling on my other story so I thought I'd take a little break and write this. I saw a cut scene where Luke is kidnapped by the masked gentleman, (check it-kyouju to kiseki no kamen cutscene 30-youtube)I really wanted to know what happened before this but the games not being released in the UK for ages so I decided to write my own version. WARNING-I have only watched the scene in Japanese (which I don't speak) so most of this is guessed.
It was night. My favourite time to scare the people of Montdol. Then something caught my eye or rather someone, Sharon Leidle, I sighed she would never be mine now, not now she was married to my so called friend Henry. I bet he started to make his moves on her the minuet, no second, he thought I was dead. Now Sharon hated me she had even got my old friend Hershel and his friends to come and get rid of me, well in truth she didn't know it was me and I have been terrifying the town, but that's not the point! I can't let them stop me.
I spotted them through the crowd, it wasn't difficult, with him wearing that big hat, they walked into an alley, oh this is perfect. I walked up on the roof tops avoiding their sight. He was talking to the other two his friends the woman in the yellow coat and the little boy… Ah, yes he seemed like a easy target, I smiled to myself, I'd just take the child and force him to leave, wait then I'm left with a child, oh I'd sort that out later. I moved closer so I could here them. I suddenly got a feeling of excitement, after all you don't kidnap someone every day. "So Professor, do you have any idea why the Masked Gentleman is attacking the town" It was the little boy, Luke I think.
"My ears are burning" I said stepping out from behind the chimney, could I have made a better entrance? I smirked of cause they couldn't see that under my mask. I had may angel wings out so I swooped down and grabbed Luke by the shoulders forcing him against a wall and looked down at him, he stared back trying not to look scared but I saw tears at the back of his eyes, I loved this kid. "You shouldn't talk about people behind their backs you know?" I said in a hushed tone, he just frowned and suddenly swung his foot at my knee CRACK… Ow, he kicked hard for a little kid, I had loosened my grip on his right shoulder and he squirmed past and tried to get to his mentor but I gripped him by his collar, he chocked.
"Stop it! Leave him alone!" Hershel cried.
I decide it was a good time for my evil laugh "Ah ha, ha, ha, haar. Do you honestly think I'm going to give him back just because you gave me a telling off" I then started to back away with the struggling Luke, there was a cliff side at the end of the ally perfect place for a take off.
"Enough talking then!" Yelled the woman, she ran forward and aimed a punch for me.
Using my free hand I pulled out a dagger from my belt that was hidden by my coat, and held it to Luke's unprotected neck. She stopped in her tracks. "No!" Layton cried.
"Don't worry professor, I have no intention of harming your boy, that is if you meet to my demands, first of all woman back away, I feel crowded"
"My name is Emmy, and you should be ashamed of yourself picking on little kids you weakling!"
"Emmy, please" the professor said gently, his eyes full of fear for Luke, Emmy walked backwards to him never breaking eye contact with me "Now, what do you want?"
"You two are interfering with my plans, I want you out of here, understand"
The professor sighed "OK, just give me Luke and we'll leave"
"Ha! I wasn't born yesterday, if I give him back if lost my only bargaining item"
"He is not a bargaining item!" The professor shouted so loudly Emmy finally stopped staring at me and look over at him.
I pulled Luke towards me using the knife and gently stroked his hair, the professor gritted his teeth. "Now listen here, Hershel" He winced at someone saying his first name "this is how things are going to work, I'm going to take this little child, and you two are going to leave town. As long as you don't interfere with my plans Luke will be unharmed, however if you do chooses to carry on your investigation… well use your imaginations." I started to back away again.
"Wait! Please…" The professor begged, my heart ached he use to be my friend, how could I do this? No, I have to.
"Sorry Layton, don't worry I'll take care of him, it's just till I complete my plans, a couple of months or so, then I'll personally return him to you, you will get him back, you have my word"
"how will you let me know where and when your giving him back?"
"Oh I'll just drop him off. I know where you live." Yes I always wanted to say that.
So what did you think? If you want a chapter two ask me if not just tell me what you think please, please, please. Thank you.
