Prologue

You have one new message

Message one:

"Hey Dad, its Emma. Yeah I know, shocking. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that… I've decided to move back to London. I've been thinking over it for a while, I mean I have really good friends here and all, but it's just not the same…. Anyway, I will be in London sometime tomorrow evening so if you want to see me just ring back on this number. I'm going to phone Alfendi… I just hope he doesn't still hate me… (sigh) See you Dad!"

End of messages.

Professor Layton sat down on his sofa and ran a hand through his hair. He smiled.

Emma's coming home at last. He thought. I hope she can help Alfendi…


You have two new messages.

Message one:

"Hey Alfendi… It's me… Emma… How you been? Dumb question. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I will be moving back to London. I've told Dad, well left a message for Dad as I am doing now with you but still. (sigh) You know what, you probably still hate me but… I miss you… I miss Dad, I miss working with you on cases from Scotland Yard… I miss everything… Emma-Lee agrees we should move back… My split personality thing is a lot better than it used to be. I have much more… Control, for a lack of a better word, over it. (sigh) I will be in London sometime tomorrow evening. If Dad doesn't call and ask to see me, I will be stopping by Scotland Yard so if your there… Well, yeah… (clears throat) Talk later, brother dearest"

Message two:

"Son, it's your father. Emma has probably called and told you she's moving back but I wanted to see if you were okay. I know you haven't talked to your sister in nearly seven years so she won't know about your split personality. Try to speak with her about it soon, I believe it would help you come to terms with it, talking to someone who has a similar… Disorder. Call back soon Son."

End of messages

Alfendi Layton was pacing up and down his apartment. His sister, whom he hadn't spoken to in seven years, was coming back to London.

I can't believe it, she really thinks I will forgive her, after she just skipped off to a completely different continent leaving me behind. Not even having the decency to call every so often to let me know she's alive!

You know, this could work in our favour…

What are you talking about Placid? No one asked for your opinion!

Your… Our sister suffers from a split personality right?

Yes, what of it?

Maybe she can help us to control it…

I don't care Placid! You should never had existed in the first place!

Alfendi kept arguing with himself until it was time again for him to go back to the mystery room.

I will never forgive her…


So this is the beginning of my new story. Tell me what you think and the next chapter should be up soon. :)
