Hello all,
this is my first story here! I don't own The Professor Layton Franchise, Level 5 does.I hope you like it!
When I look at my life from before, I see it in flashes. Abuse, Abduction, Adoption. Family, Friends. Schooling, the Scotland Yard. Flashes, vague memories and not too many details, I lost them all, when it happened, when I killed a man. I shot Makepeace. I am a murdurer who's been cleared of all charges because of my position in the Yard as an investigator and also because I was sent into a coma for months following the incident, due to a bullet wound. Nobody knows what happened to me, nothing except that everyone I was close to said, I have become a different man ever since that day four years ago. That year, I lost pieces of my memories and my personality changed after I woke up from my coma. Nobody would tell me how I used to be so I could change, they said it hurt them too much to remember who I used to be so in turn, they avoided me. My girlfriend told me she could never date half a man and broke the relationship off. She loved who I was, not who I am. My adopted father and sister were in shock and suddenly became much more busy. Father decided to start teaching classes around the clock. Flora moved in with her boyfriend Clive so now we only occasionally talk over the phone. At twenty five, I lost everything and only gained a split personality disorder from the incident. I should have been shot dead. There is a mystery surrounding Forbodium castle and my condition and every puzzle has an answer, my father says, and I can and need to get to the bottom it, to save myself.
I am 93.4% I know who can to help me solve this mystery, my assistant, Detective Constable Lucy Baker. I've worked with her on two cases so far, she isn't perfect, but is a bright and fairly attractive girl with a talent for investigation and crime solving. I've started to teach her and she is improving, there is something about her that is different and makes me want to train my new assistant and find out more about her. One factor that sets her apart from the rest, other than her qualities and intelligence, is that I changed once around her. My hair darkened and I had a "Jekyll-and-Hyde moment", as Lucy coined it, in front of her and Ms. Potsby-Mahn. That side is the side that the people in my life remember who knew me from before the incident. I have an "other" side, my true side. Ever since the accident I have been keeping him under control but I feel him reememrging and trying to take control once again. I have never revealed my past persona in front of her, or anyone for that matter, ever since I lost it that fateful day four years ago. The night Lucy and I closed the case My head throbbed and he started talking to me again. Every once in awhile I'd hear his voice during a difficult case or when passing my past friends like Justin and Hilda, but he has started degrading me, and insulting me in order to gain power. During the case I remember him calling me pathetic and taking control because he knows how to handle criminals correctly, even though I've been getting along fine without him. But there's something about Lucy and I only hope she can help me reveal the other me again so I can make this side of me be the man everyone wants me to be and remembers, and there will be no need for the psychopath other side of me.
