Chapter 4
The Path to School
Phoenix had to get out of that house fast, this new family was scaring him to dead, so he ran to the front door and went out. But Ema, his sister, was with him behind him.
"Okay Phoenix do you need to know how to move?" she asked for some reason.
"Course not."
"I'm sorry it's not optional, tap the shoe and click the arrow for directions."
"What" said Phoenix, he just kept walking ignoring whatever that was. The path to school was peaceful, there were people everywhere but he stopped for nothing, he was getting to school. When he got there, a man was waiting for him.
"So you expected an easy chapter heh heh guess again son." said the man with a hat "You need to solve 12 puzzles to get past me and enter the school."
"Ahhhh no you bad man, I haven't time for delays! }:(" shouted Phoenix
It was no use though, the man was standing in front of the gate so they had to solve puzzles.
They went back to talk to everyone, they had puzzles. Hard puzzles though, that made Phoenix lose every picarat possible. Ema however was much smarter than Phoenix and solved them all. The man was not impressed with Phoenix's methods when they got back.
"You sir are not a puzzle solver at all, you should be ashamed of yourself." said the man.
"Sorry to interrupt but a gentleman never insults people." said another guy in a hat who had no detail at all. "I Professor Layton do not accept you as a puzzle solver."
"What the hell, hat man, solve this puzzle I dare you." said the man.
Puzzle 13
Which of us is smarter.
"I am." said Layton. "Now get out of our way."
"I will be back!" shouted Blocke and he ran away.
"I say. That was a close one." said Layton.
"Thank you Professor you're perfect" said Phoenix
The three of them entered the school before getting hit in the face by Granny Riddleton
"You missed lots of puzzles back there Phoenix, lots of them, but they're all in my sack now."
Phoenix hates puzzles though so he pretended he didn't hear that. (That was because I might make this a GAME when I'm done with PyWright or something so be hyped for that!)
"Hi Nick." said Maya, good to see she's still his best friend. "You suck dick" she slapped him in the face and laughed.
Looking at Maya laugh like a witch was what finally made Phoenix realize his ill luck. The place he was in right now was not the past or anything like that.
This was an alternate universe that was also a few years behind his own!
