Hi sorry I took a while to update but I just got a new puppy! So I had to look after him His name's Dill and he will be featured in my next story, but first on with this one. Enjoy!
Oh and thank you for all the reviews.
"O.K, Luke this may sting a little" I sprayed some medicine onto his arm, he let out a short, dog-like whimper. "Sorry did I say may." I said jokingly, Luke gave me a weak smile, I sat next to him on the bed and stroked some hair off his cheek, he closed his eyes and leaned closer to me placing his head on my chest, he was adorable. It seemed as good a time as any to ask. "umm…Luke how would you like to go on a vacation?" A very long vacation that is, just until the heats off and they stop looking for him, that would probably take a while, maybe they'd never stop looking for him, I wouldn't. "I don't think I've ever been on vacation before. Have I?" he looked sad, it must have been very distressing for him, waking up and not remembering anything. As far as Luke was concerned he was walking down the stairs the Siamese cat (who I've found out name is Dina) was walking up and he tripped over her and they fell over. We've kept the cat as a pet, Luke can still talk to animals, I'm glad, but I am worried the cat might tell him the truth. What a odd thing to say.
It's been hours since the phone call. If I know my cousin, and unfortunately I do, Jean is trying to bargain with them, his freedom for my location probably. We had to move. Fast.
Flora's P.O.V
I'd never seen the professor properly angry but he was angry at Descole, he'd probably be shouting at him if Inspector Chelmey wasn't there to do it for us. "Right where is your cousin Descole!" he just smiled and said "I'm more loyal to my cousin that you think inspector." the professor frowned "Then might I ask why you told us he had Luke." |
Descole laughed "To put your hopes up of course." The professors hand flinched as if he was about to hit him, "Also to scare Max a bit, for stealing my little hostage." The professor's fists clenched and his shoulders tensed, "He is not yours"
Descole just smiled. "Really who's is he then?" The professors face dropped. I hated that moment of silence, I wished someone would bring me out of it, but no one did the professor just turned around took my hand and lead me out the room.
We sat in outside well apart from inspector Chelmeys shouting coming through the door. The professor finally said something, "Why didn't I adopt Luke?" I sat up was he talking to me? No he couldn't have been, I didn't know the answer to that. He looked up at me "Do you think I'm a terrible guardian?" Now that was directed to me and I thought I knew the answer to this, I thought it was a clear yes, but when he actually answered the question I suddenly realise he doesn't do anything a normal guardian dose. Should I lie or hurt his feelings. Thank god I didn't need to answer as Chelmey burst in. "no such luck he doesn't know where Maxwell is, he gave the address and all but he says Maxwell's probably done a runner by now." The sighed but gave a small smile.
"Well lets look anyway we might find some clues to where he is.
The door opened to the marble castle, it was so white and pure. I blinked hard. "Umm…professor are you sure we're… in the right place?"
"Quite sure Flora" he said walking up to a large portrait of Descole and the person that must be Maxwell.
"Now we know what he looks like." The inspector says sounding like he has already caught the person. We search the house for ages but it's empty. He must be taking quite a trip. I thought to myself and with tat I sat down on the floor and cried. I wonder if it was fate that I sat down there, for sitting at the edge of the room was a piece of paper and it read.
Dear Jean,
I am catching the next boat to America so I can continue travelling and finding out more about the dark arts. Please come join us at our old summer house, I know you will escape soon so I'll wait there for 2 months if your not there by then I'll move on, we can be a family again, there's enough room in my heart for you and the child.
I cringed at the last words but I didn't want to think about it, I just ran to give it to the professor as fast as my legs would carry me.
OK it wasn't my most exiting chapter but it was needed next chapter Professor Layton and Flora find Luke. You do not want to miss that. Please review.
