Chapter 7
Hershel Layton popped out of the water, gasping for air. He was so glad that he was alive. He swam against the river trying to grab hold of something anything to help him from drowning. Once he grabbed a hold of a giant rock int the middle of the river, he started to scan for his companions. No one, nothing, the land was empty of life. He ran his hand through his soaking wet hair. He then looked down at his hand to see dark brown dye coming out of his hair. "Oh dear." He whispered to himself.
"Hershel! Hershel Layton!" Caroline shouted from the woods.
'They must have made it.' Hershel thought to himself.
"Professor! Where are you professor?" Flora and Luke called out.
Professor sighed. He swam against the river and reached the other side. He crawled to the land. "Luke, Flora, Miss. Caroline. I'm over here." He stood to his feet.
"Professor Layton I'm so happy that you are alright!" Caroline shouted as the three of them came running up to him. Caroline looked him up and down. Professors dye was running down his face and onto his orange shirt. "You have something on your face." Caroline said with no expression. She was too shocked, too amused.
"Professor are you alright?" Luke asked.
"When did you start dying your hair?" Flora giggled.
"Maybe I can explain," Hershel nodded for her to proceed. "First let's go build a fire to warm us up." Caroline started to walk off expecting everyone to follow.
Once the four of them built a fire Hershels hair had started to dry. Blond bangs had fallen in front of his face. Luke and Flora stared intensely at their professor. "Professor Layton is not an english gentleman." Caroline laughed.
"Yes he is. He is a proper english gentleman!" Luke stood to his feet and stood up for the professor.
"No, he is an english prince, and if he is now he could be a proper english prince."
"Wait! What!" Luke looked at Hershel. He was very dizzy. "You're the missing prince of England!"
"Sadly, yes," Professor bit his lip. "I am, John Hershel Layton; prince of England."
