It's been a while since I updated so here is the next chapter! Enjoy!
Claire woke up from a dream. A dream that caused her to wake up, panting. She remembers it all, the professor dying, Dimitri in charge of it, an experiment gone wrong. She relaxed for a moment and thought to herself, what made me dream this? Claire stood up and looked out her window. The day was still bright but Claire felt tired, like as if it was actually night time. That was when the door swung open. Claire turned around to see Dimitri.
"Claire, good to see you're awake." said Dimitri with a smile.
"Yeah, it's good to see you too." said Claire without mentioning her dream.
Dimitri looked at Claire and decided now was the right time to explain the truth. "Claire, I need to explain the whole story here. Where you are right now, is suppose to be the future London. 10 years to be exact. We are trying to allure the professor here. The only we can think of it is by making him think he traveled 10 years to the future. He should be meeting "future Luke" to help him. Clive will be him in disguise. The professor soon should be worried about his "future self", which will be me in disguise. Soon, when he tries to find me, he will place on these glasses." explained Dimitri as he took out some detailed looking glasses.
"But why are we doing all of this madness?" asked Claire with a serious face.
"Well, it's going to save you, Claire. When these glasses on the professor's face, they will take memories of you that he had. Then I will take those memories, and place them on you, completing you fully. Then, you can live once again. Also, the young man named Clive is getting revenge. A small revenge on Bill hawks; the man who caused your disaster. He also killed Clive's parents in the explosion."
"That's terrible! Poor Clive, he doesn't deserve that." said Claire, looking sad.
"You don't deserve that too. You deserve to live, Claire." explained Dimitri.
Claire finally realized how important she was to Dimitri. She still missed the professor though.
"So when I do my time travel experiment with Bill Hawks, I will make the experiment fail and I will kidnap him. We will use him for the whole experiment." said Dimitri. "Oh, and while the professor is here, you will be in the streets with other residents we will have. If the professor sees you, use your fake name. Don't let him discover who you really are."
Right on that moment, Clive burst through the door. "Dimitri, we need you on the real London. It's urgent." said Clive looking worried. "Ok, I'm coming. I'll talk to you later Claire." said Dimitri as left out the door with Clive. Claire only stood there as she heard Clive and Dimitri's footsteps became quieter. When they finally left the building, Claire continued watching the construction outside. Little by little, the workers built buildings and decorations around the city. Soon enough, everything looked like a real future London. Claire then heard a sound. Something that sounded like paper. She turned to see that someone had slid a letter under the door. Claire picked it up and opened it up. It said:
Dear Claire,
I won't be here tomorrow. Something accrued in London and I am needed. But don't worry; Clive should take you breakfast tomorrow morning. He will also be there all day. Also, remember this word, CARGO, you will need it for tomorrow. It signifies you come down from your room, go the building to your left and open the doors for me. I will bring something in and I have to have it there as fast as I can.
From,
Dimitri Allen
Claire re read the letter a few more times and finally understood what he was doing. She tucked it away in her pocket and continued looking around her new apartment. Nothing interesting, only simple daily needs. She was glad that she had a full restroom to herself though. As night crept in, Claire prepared herself for sleep. She slipped on some pajamas and sat on her bed. Claire was a little concerned of what Dimitri was doing up in London. It could be dangerous. Claire lay on her bed and closed her eyes. She soon fell into a deep sleep.
Done, next chapter will here, maybe in a few days. I have a new story on my mind…
