Flora took out a baton from her dad's shed without him looking.She put some batteries in a flashlight and walked in the attic.
The attic actually had many mirrors that could make you have clones in a mirror.Flora walked around the attic and found a journal.Flora looked around and read the journal.The journal was hard for Flora to read,but atleast she read five pages.
She looked at a box she never saw before,it read "Don't touch!" on front.The box had sweater's in it that smelled terribly bad.She saw a straw bed next to it.
"Perhaps someone's living here...",Flora thought.
Flora saw a voodoo doll of her dad.The needles were on the voodoo doll's stomach.
Flora thought of her dad saying he had stomach pains and went to the doctors for it.Unfortunately,the doctors couldn't do anything about it.
"Blast you Layton...",a raspy voice said.
Flora immediately jumped making her fall onto the hay bed.
"What was that?",the raspy voice said. Better not be those brats or I swear..."
Flora hid behind a box,hoping that she will not be seen.Flora got a glimpse of the person who was talking.The person was bald,but had horns of a devil for the side burns.
As the person was not near Flora,she got out of her hiding spot and hitted them with the baton.
"Ow! Jesus christ!",the raspy voice yelled.
Flora accidently tripped on the person's leg making her fall beside them.
"Geez...",the raspy voice said.
The person got up before Flora.Flora got up and saw the person in shock.
"Don paolo?!",Flora exclaimed.
"Yeah yeah,enough chit chat",Don paolo said.
"What are you doing in my attic?!",Flora asked.
"Hiding from the cops,they wouldn't expect me to be in your house.",Don paolo replied.
"Well atleast be ashamed of yourself for making all those loud noises that frightened my poor little sister.",Flora remarked.Don paolo rolled his eyes. "Have some sympthany for yourself for atleast five minutes.And just how long have you been living hiding here?"
"Two months.",He replied.
"Two months?! Have you atleast eaten something? If so,what did you eat?",Flora asked.
"Moss."Don paolo replied.
"Moss?!",Flora exclaimed.
"And caterpillars They're really good honestly."
Flora shivered at the thought of eating caterpillars.
"I don't think eating caterpillars are a good habit...",Flora said.
"It's not that bad,you'll get a tingly feeling once it's your stomach.And if you ever want caterpillars turned into sauce,just pound them.",said Don paolo.
"That's beastly Don paolo!",Flora cried.
"What are you going to do? Tell your father?",he asked.
"I'll tell him you're here and why.",Flora said.
Don paolo laughed loudly.
"Oh,please Flora,your father will always say he'll check it out but you know he never will.",Don paolo said."Meaning that I can stay here as long as I want."
"And what if I called Inspector Chelmey?"
"Oh please Flora,he wouldn't believe you.It's something he wouldn't expect."
"Well you can't just stay here forever!",Flora yelled. "You don't eat anything proper here,I'm not sure how you shower,and you're making soo much loud sounds to get my poor little sister worried!",
Don Paolo rolled his eyes. "What are you going to do about it?"
Flora thought for a few minutes before making a plan.
She went to the kitchen to get food.She then went back to him.
"You can stay only if you eat these." Flora grabbed a bag of carrots, two apples, a handful of grapes, and a loaf of bread.
Don Paolo looked at the food, confused.
"What am I supposed to do with these?", he asked.
"You eat them.", replied Flora.
"But I'd rather eat caterpillars."
"You're not eating caterpillars inside my attic. Now eat."
Don paolo grabbed the food started eating the loaf of bread.
"You know you can cut the bread.",Flora said.
"I would if I had a knife.",He replied.
Flora still didn't trust him.After all,Don paolo or by his alias Paul did kidnapp her in Dropstone.
As Flora made sure that Don Paolo ate the food, she was thinking of what to say to her father. She knew that if she told her father about Don Paolo, he would most likely tell her to ignore it. But that was impossible for her.
She could feel her sister Katrielle always talking about the scary sounds that she heard in the attic, and she couldn't stop thinking about the voodoo doll that she found.
Flora knew that her father, Hershel Layton, would want to know where all the noises in the attic had been coming from one day.And he'll find out that Paul was in his attic.She slightly felt bad for him.
"You know,you can't stay here forever.",said Flora. "Father would investigate the attic one day."
"And?",Paul asked.
"I think it's best you stay in my room.",said Flora. "And hide in my closet."
Don Paolo thought about being hidden in a closet and was unsure.
"What if someone opens the closet and finds me?"
But he needed a place to stay and hiding in a closet was the best thing he could think of right now.
"Alright. I'll hide in your closet.", he said.
Flora's face lit up and felt relieved. "Yay!", she said.
Don Paolo nodded. "Alright. Just don't throw me out please!", he said.
"Of course not!", said Flora. "I can't even lift you up!"
