So, due to the results of the little question time in the last chapter, I will do two different things that are at a similar time. Luke on the bus with the Professor, explaining about the letter from 'Future Luke' and then everything getting set up in the Gilded 7 Casino, and the next chapter will include the scene from the game.

Luke POV- 13 Years Old

As I sat next to the Professor, I intently studied the letter. It didn't make any sense! "It just doesn't seem to add up Professor!"

"I honestly thought you were pulling my leg" the Professor admitted.

"WHAT?! I wouldn't dream of it!" I shouted, before looking back to the letter. "Hmm"

This is what it read:

Professor,

I hope this letter finds you well. As for me, I am in quite a predicament. You see, the London we know and love has been thrown into absolute chaos. To complicate matters, this calamity I speak of does not take place in your time.

This may be difficult to believe, but I am writing to you from ten years in the future.

I know this is a lot to take in, but I'll explain it all to you soon. For now, I ask that you head to the clock shop on Midland Road in Baldwin. I look forward to seeing you again.

Your student,

Luke Triton.

"Strange as it sounds, it seems that the author of this letter is none other than your future self, Luke"

How is that even possible? "F-from my future self? But how is that even possible?" I asked.

"I don't know, but is does raise the question: If it is indeed authentic, then how did it get here?" the Professor replied.

I didn't honestly know. "Um, by time travelling postmen? Just joking of course!" I smiled. "But seriously, I think this is the strangest mystery we've ever encountered!"

"Indeed, and even in the future, you seem to need my help solving it. Your constancy can be quite a comfort in these uncertain times, my boy"

"Well, thank you…I think. Now, back to the letter- how do we know it's real?"

"Hmm" the Professor said, putting his hand up to his chin. "Well, we don't have too much to go on yet. But I can't help but think that this strange occurrence is connected to the terrible events of last week"

"Hmm…" I said.

I remembered exactly what happened last week. The Professor and I had been invited to a time machine presentation, run by Dr. Alain Stahngun. He let Bill Hawks, the Prime Minister, be the first to try out his machine, but it broke and the Prime Minister had disappeared. During the time it broke, the pieces fell everywhere and everyone was screaming. It was horrible.

But there was only one question that was flowing around my head that really mattered- was there really a future me?

~x~

Clive POV- 23 Years Old

I smiled to myself. Everything was going to plan.

I am the future Luke Triton, I am the Future Luke Triton, I am the Future Luke Triton.

I had to get that in my head, I couldn't mess up. Otherwise everything I'd done since I'd met Dimitri would be a waste. All those hours of work…all those people I'd betrayed…urgh, Luke didn't know them, so I didn't know them.

I was sat in the Gilded 7 Casino, waiting for the Professor and Luke to turn up. According to a spy, I had approximately three quarters of an hour before they'd get here. The Family had arranged their positions and the people who were playing on the slot machines were aware of what was going to happen. "Phew, this might actually work out" I said to myself.

"Are you sure?" came a sharp voice from behind me.

I turned around to see Marina giving me a cold, hard stare. "What are you doing here?!" I hissed at her. I had told her to stay out of the way and come no-where near anywhere that would give anything away.

"I just felt like coming here"

"Well I told you not to"

"You may be my older brother but you're not my boss" she hissed. "So don't think you just tell me what to do. Oh wait, did I say that wrong? Yes, oh master, I will do exactly what you say" she said, before silently walking away, but emphasising her steps by taking giant strides.

"You seriously want to be killed some times" I said to her just before she left.

"Maybe I do, but you'll never be the one who does so, you're too weak" she smirked.

"Just you wait until I next see you" I said, clenching my fist. I mean, she loved to push the limits, until I wanted to strangle her.

"Bye!" she smiled, leaving, pretending as if she didn't care. I mean, she was way too emotional, but she hid it very well.

I grumbled to myself. Marina was the most annoying thing since, well, anything, and I had the honours of her being my younger sister.

Sometimes, I seriously hated my life.

"Half an hour, sir"

I looked at Fisheye (the one who spoke). "Fine" I grunted, taking the cap off to stroke my hair.

I sighed to myself. "And watch the girl" I said. "She's becoming slightly rebellious"

"OK" Fisheye said, before silently following her.

If she got in any way, she'd be dead meat.

So I wrote most of this at my Uncle's house, but took a while to up. Thanks for reading!
