POV: Luke Triton

"Can you believe she almost didn't come along?" I asked the professor looking back at my sleeping cousin. "All she ever does is stay in her room and write."

"I completely understand why she wouldn't want to come," Professor Layton spoke up moments later.

"Why do you say that?" I looked back at him.

"It's fairly simple, Luke, would you automatically agree to a trip with a complete stranger?"

He got me there, "Well, no, I suppose not, but I'm not a stranger, professor."

"See, I say we try to see things from her point of view a little more."

"As Always, Professor, you're right."

"Luke, you know as well as I do that I have to be wrong once in a while."

Again, he was right, "I know, Professor," I smiled sheepishly,"I know."

POV: Kathrine Pond

"Kathrine," Luke nudged me. "Wake up."

"Noooooo," I moaned.

"But you're awake," he said softly.

I managed a small smile, "I may be awake, but I wish to sleep some more."

"That's what night time is for, Silly," he shook my shoulder, "Come on, Kat, please come with us."

Kat. He hasn't called me that since I was 8.

"Kat? Will you come?" I sat up straight and looked around.

I was still in the little red car with a high roof, 'The Laytonmobile' as Luke called it.

The professor was not inside. "Where's Professor Layton?" I pointed to the driver seat.

"He is inspecting the crime scene," Luke responded calmly.

"Crime scene? What crime scene?" I pushed the car door open and jumped out, "Just what is going on around here?"

"Please, do calm down, Kat," Luke got out of the car as well, "This is a common thing with the professor."

"You must be joking," I laughed aloud.

He remained silent.

"Oh," my laugh faded. "This is real."

He nodded.

"Where are we, exactly?"

"Your house."

"Heh?" I turned around to see my house.

He was right.

I ran inside.

"Woah, little lady," an officer stuck his arm out making me stop halfway through the family room. "You can't go in there."

"But this is my house," I moved his arm out of the way, and ran to my mother's room. "Mother!" I ran, and clung to her.

"Kathrine, darling, what are you doing here?" she looked at me. "You do know what happened here, don't you?"

"No, mum," I shook my head.

"The Eagle's Claw was stolen."

That can't be. I left a box very similar to the one I had taken with me. We never opened the box before, so no one, but my grandparents truly knew what it was.

"You need to stay away from this town," she looked at me. "I can't risk anything happening to you."

Sorry if this was suckish, but I just wanted to update to update.

I will try to update this soon
